History Main / Bloodknight

* The Longinus Dreizehn Orden from ''VisualNovel/DiesIrae'' is absolutely loaded with these kinds of people, be it serial killers or war criminals, the majority of them want nothing more than endless war and bloodshed. Perhaps exemplified best with their leader, Reinhard Heydrich, whose driving motivation is to find a worthy foe that can fight with him on equal terms as well as having the secondary goal of creating a new natural law where everything will be nothing but eternal warfare and strife.

* Brock Samson from ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' vacillates between someone who solves things violently because there is no other way and someone who relishes an opportunity to fling blood across the room. Rarely limits himself to mere incapacitation when dismemberment is an option.

* In ''WebAnimation/IfTheEmperorHadATextToSpeechDevice'', the BigBad of the first season, [[TheFundamentalist Lord Inquisitor Karamazov]], believes that [[HangingJudge there is no such thing as innocence]] and will gleefully bathe a whole world in blood, fire or both if he suspects it of heresy. It doesn't help that [[TheoryTunnelVision he's confident that he's the only person who knows what the real truth is and won't accept the possibility that he may be wrong]].

* Whenever LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} was in a PvP tournament or challenge, he always thrived for kills and win streaks, to the point that "Blood for the Blood God" was considered one of his catchphrases for good reason.
** This crosses over to his persona on the ''WebVideo/DreamSMP'' as well. In Season 1, though Techno was a member of [[LaResistance Pogtopia]] at the time, he has lamented that there's not enough fighting going on for his liking, even going as far as considering joining [[PresidentEvil Schlatt]], just to make things more interesting. In Season 2, Techno reveals that his bloodthirsty tendencies are fueled by the [[HearingVoices voices in his head]], i.e. his canonized [[FromBeyondTheFourthWall stream chat]], who have "Blood for the Blood God" as one of their catchphrases as well.

* ''LetsPlay/LifeSMP'':

* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitans2003'': [[Characters/TeenTitansNewTeenTitans Raven]] -- as well as her allies, but she's most notable. [[BewaretheQuietOnes God help you if you really piss her off by messing with her friends]]. [[CurbStompBattle She'll kick your ass if you do]].
* ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'': All of the Titans except for [[OnlySaneMan Raven]] have shades of this.

WarIsHell? [[WellThisIsNotThatTrope Not to this guy]].

* Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Finlay attained tweener status, being between {{Face}} and {{Heel}}, for the sole reason that he'll simply beat up anybody he comes across for kicks, not particularly caring whether they're "good guys" or "bad guys". His CatchPhrase sums it all up: "My name is Finlay, and I love to fight!"

* Whenever LetsPlay/{{Technoblade}} was in a PvP tournament or challenge, he always thrived for kills and win streaks, to the point that "Blood for the Blood God" was considered one of his {{Catchphrase}}s for good reason.

* Norman in ''WesternAnimation/MightyMax''. [[CatchPhrase He eats Blood Knights for breakfast]]! In one episode, in particular, he responds to all problems with "Want me to break it?"

** In ''Limited Life'' (Season 4), Joel is pretty much the only guy on the server who wants to be the Boogeyman[[note]]a randomly assigned role where the player must kill another by the end of the session or risk losing an amount of their lives, depending on the season[[/note]] so he can murder someone, and is disappointed when he doesn't get the role on Day 1. Come Day 2, and [[spoiler:he's ''ecstatic'' to be cursed with the bloodlust {{geas}}]].

** This crosses over to his persona on the ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'' as well. In Season 1, though Techno was a member of [[LaResistance Pogtopia]] at the time, he has lamented that there's not enough fighting going on for his liking, even going as far as considering joining [[PresidentEvil Schlatt]], just to make things more interesting.

* BloodKnight/RealLife

** The chaotic neutral god Gorum, god of Strength, Battle, and Weapons. His followers are almost entirely all Blood Knights of one kind or another.

* Shan-Yu from ''WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}}'' is heavily implied to be this: He deliberately allows himself and the Huns to be sighted at the Great Wall of China as they breach it so they could send their best soldiers and thus have him prove his strength to them, and he later specifically chooses a route that would lead to his forces confronting the Imperial Army rather than going around and avoiding them.

* ''TabletopGame/BattleTech'': The [[ProudWarriorRaceGuy Warrior caste]] of the Clans live solely for war, and prefer to die in combat than of old age. Some Crusader Clans are more ruthless than the rest, such as Clan Jade Falcon, Smoke Jaguar, and Ice Hellion. Rather than die of old age, [[DesignerBabies "outdated"]] Clan warriors past 35 years old are reassigned to Solahma units, given an outdated assault rifle, and sent out as CannonFodder to distract [[PoweredArmor battlearmor]] and [[HumongousMecha battlemechs]]. Not being ''complete'' idiots, however, the Clans make exception for older warriors who've earned Bloodnames (that is, the right to use the last name of their genetic ancestors); they get [[AsskickingEqualsAuthority promoted into command positions]] instead of being shoveled into Solahma units.

** The Headmaster of Shade Academy, Theodore, turns out to be one. In sharp contrast to his fellow Headmasters, Theodore has boundless energy and a childlike enthusiasm when it comes to testing his strength against others. He starts out school assemblies by challenging his students to spar with him, going so far as to suggest he'll hand his job over to anyone that manages to beat him. Around the world, Vacuo's eccentric Headmaster has a reputation as the strongest of the four Headmasters, essentially ruling over a brutal kingdom where AsskickingEqualsAuthority. Theodore's love for fighting extends to the point of getting distracted when he comes upon one of his teachers fighting with a trio of students -- instead of intervening to stop what is clearly a strange situation, he stands on the sidelines and cheers them on.

* Perfuma in ''WesternAnimation/SheRaAndThePrincessesOfPower'' generally comes across as a hippie-ish New Agey type who believes in the oneness of the universe and all of that, and this is ''broadly'' accurate...''buuuut'' she discovers in her introductory episode that she also ''really loves'' to use her [[GreenThumb plant powers]] to beat up Horde troopers, to the point where she agrees to join the resurgent Princess Alliance because it will give her more opportunities to use flowers as weapons of war.
* Lieutenant Shaxs, security chief of the ''Cerritos'' in ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks''. He refers to his security team as the "Bear Pack", throws new recruits into an UnwinnableTrainingSimulation that consists of a dozen Borg in a boxing ring, and begs to be allowed to shoot another ship's warp core (which he has already locked onto) because "I have been very good this month." Given that he is a gray-haired Bajoran, it's probably safe to assume that he got this attitude as part of LaResistance.
* Princess Star Butterfly of ''WesternAnimation/StarVsTheForcesOfEvil'' is [[GenkiGirl an endless fountain of energy]] who ''loves'' fighting monsters. Her friend Marco Diaz was a safety-obsessed kid who thought his life was boring until he got caught up in her adventures. Now he relishes fighting alongside her.
* Pearl from ''WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse'' 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.
* ''WesternAnimation/{{Teen Titans|2003}}'': [[Characters/TeenTitansNewTeenTitans Raven]] -- as well as her allies, but she's most notable. [[BewaretheQuietOnes God help you if you really piss her off by messing with her friends]]. [[CurbStompBattle She'll kick your ass if you do]].
* In ''WesternAnimation/TeenTitansGo'', all of the Titans except for [[OnlySaneMan Raven]] have shades of this.
* In the short-lived animated version of ''WesternAnimation/TheTick'', The Tick once notably said, "I don't want to stop evil. I just want to fight it!"

* Wiki/SCPFoundation:

* ''Machinima/RedVsBlue'' has Sarge, who practically delights in the Red/Blue conflict, and is the only one enthusiastic about it and its continuation. On top of this, it's implied that Sarge was an [[BadassNormal Orbital Drop Shock Trooper]] during the war.

* Buttercup of Franchise/ThePowerpuffGirls enjoys fighting the most out of her sisters and will sometimes tell others of her battles. She also has a habit of sometimes taking it too far and is disappointed when a monster won't fight back. She doesn't take too kindly to the Professor or her sisters being threatened, though. You've been warned.
