* Manny Rivera's mother Maria in her alter ego Plata Peligrosa from ''WesternAnimation/ElTigre''. She is reluctant to use the glove that gives her powers because it makes her very bloodthirsty. At first, El Tigre enjoys fighting crime with her, but once they run out of criminals to fight, she releases them from prison [[StartXToStopX so she can fight them again]].

** When she's first introduced, Korra loves to fight and picks battles just for fun. She sees bending as purely a physical skill and ignores the spiritual side of being [[TheChosenOne the Avatar]]. CharacterDevelopment sets in slowly but surely, however, and over the course of the series, she mellows out and becomes a great deal more diplomatic.

* ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'': Pearl is this to an extent, having a highly romanticized recollection of her time fighting in the Gem Rebellion. Garnet, whom would be expected to at least have traces of this due to [[spoiler:Ruby's personality]], averts this trope, reflecting on the war with the attitude of a ShellShockedVeteran. Amethyst and Jasper play the trope straighter, as both are more aggressive and enjoy fighting for its own merit. Given the events of "Steven Vs. Amethyst", it's possible that fighting is a natural form of emotional expression/venting/bonding for Quartz gems.

A WarGod is very often one of these though he could also be AxCrazy or just TheSociopath. If there's a whole society of guys who like combat, you've got a {{Proud Warrior Race|Guy}}. If the character likes the ''killing'' part more than the 'fighting' part, they're a PsychoForHire. (In fact it's not uncommon for Blood Knights to also uphold ThouShaltNotKill). The EgomaniacHunter also thrives on aimless violent thrill and loves a worthy quarry instead of an opponent. If a character is in it for the challenge rather than just the fight, then we've got a SpiritedCompetitor. The Blood Knight's love of combat may be platonic, or it may have [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence sexual undertones]]. It could also overlap with AxCrazy if their love of fighting crosses the line into psychopathic violence and mental and emotional instability.

Alphabetizing example(s)


* Jiang Wei in ''Fanfic/FarceOfTheThreeKingdoms''. He refuses to stop fighting Wei, even as he fails time after time and bankrupts the country.



* In the web serial [[http://stonesoulserial.blogspot.com/ Stone Soul]] there are several characters that fit this trope, all of whom are from the Ovleni culture. However, they do not simply love to fight. The Ovleni culture is quite fixated on experienced the most amazing and intense sensations that can be found. In the serial, the "ultimate experience" they are usually after involves battle-axing people in the face. However the use of psychoactive plants is also featured heavily, and battle and hallucinogens are also combined in some instances in pursuit of the ultimate experience.

to:

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'':
** SCP-076-2 seems to see combat as the only worthwhile pursuit in life and agreed to work with the Foundation instead of slaughtering them because he realized it could provide him with ''more dangerous'' creatures to fight. [[spoiler:Backfired on the Foundation immensely when he got bored. He slaughtered his way through countless Foundation agents in what is currently the worst breach the Foundation has experienced so far.]]
** Dr. Kondraki displays in the "Duke 'Til Dawn" tale; an extended IndyPloy involving him decommissioning the old SCP-083, resulting in a multi-containment breach and protracted fight throughout the facility, all to achieve his true goal: ''riding 682 like a mechanical bull''.

* Whenever WebVideo/{{Technoblade}} is in a PVP tournament or challenge, he always thrives for kills and win streaks, to the point that "Blood for the Blood God" is considered one of his {{Character Catchphrase}}s for good reason.



* [=YouTube=] personality Vaush is a non-physical example: he really likes to debate as well as make... err... reviews of horrible videos (usually made by Neo-Nazis and the like) where he criticizes and makes fun of them.

SubTrope of InHarmsWay. SisterTrope to CombatSadomasochist, TheRealMan, and BoisterousBruiser. Compare CavalierCompetitor and, for a more general trope, ChallengeSeeker. Also compare {{Sadist}}, whose favorite part of fighting is the pain and suffering of his opponent. May be from a MartyrdomCulture and will nearly always believe that WarIsGlorious. If he (or she, though it's much rarer, however; see LadyOfWar) is in the military, then he will almost inevitably be a ColonelKilgore. A MonsterKnight has a high chance of being one. A more violent example that nonetheless fights on the side of good may (or may not) be a SociopathicHero. It also has [[JustForFun/IThoughtItMeant nothing to do with]] a knight who uses BloodMagic. Contrast ShellShockedVeteran, who is of the opposite mindset (also contrast WarIsHell).

This is mainly because his superpower is [[AdaptiveAbility he heals from any damage done to him, stronger and more immune]] to whatever hurt him. He's been in so many battles that very few things can harm him anymore, and he gets excited whenever he finds something that can, because it means he can grow even stronger.
