'''Basic Trope''': A player of a tabletop role-playing game that likes to fight with their characters.
* '''Straight''': Jake plays Jacin, a HotBlooded BarbarianHero who [[BloodKnight actively searches for fights]].
* '''Exaggerated''': Jacin gets bored after 10 seconds of peace and starts a BarBrawl.
* '''Downplayed''': Jake is fairly skilled in both roleplaying and combat aspects, but he prefers the strategy of combat a bit more, and so tailors some of his character's traits to that end.
* '''Justified''': Many of the game's rules concern combat to the point that most of the party's time will be spent in combat even if Jake didn't provoke as many [=NPCs=] as he could.
* '''Inverted''': Jake's characters are diplomacy-oriented and he evades fights as much as possible.
* '''Subverted''': When a fight starts, Jacin doesn't go in...
* '''Double Subverted''': ...because he's busy swapping his dagger out for his sword.
* '''Parodied''': Jacin is a LeeroyJenkins who rushes headlong to the slightest sign of combat, even if it's a slap fight.
* '''Zig Zagged''': Jake is TheRoleplayer. Some of his characters have reasons to get in lots of fights, others don't.
* '''Averted''': Jacin doesn't actively search for fights.
* '''Enforced''': The adventure is a dungeon crawl and thus heavily combat-oriented. Since Jake doesn't want to roll up a new character a couple of times per session, he makes and plays his character according to the "TheRealMan" rationale.
* '''Lampshaded''': "Why does Jacin love to fight so much?"
* '''Invoked''': Jake starts raising his character to be strong, believing he'll clear a lot of quests fast this way.
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': The entire party is full of diplomatic roleplayers that dislike combat.
* '''Discussed''': "Jake, we're sick of all this roll-playing. Come back when you can do something besides fight."
* '''Conversed''': "Ever notice how any time people play an RPG in fiction there's a lot of fighting?"
* '''Deconstructed''':
** Due to Jacin's eagerness to start unnecessary or dangerous fights, his party gets a reputation for being violent hooligans which makes non-combat difficult. It's either that or he eventually [[MuggingTheMonster picks a fight with the wrong creature]].
** Jake alienates the other players who are more into the diplomatic side of tabletop gaming because he's constantly having Jacin start fights.
* '''Reconstructed''':
** A reputation as violent hooligans is great if you're seeking violent work (mercenary company, military, crafting guild's bruisers, etc.). Potential employers already know you can handle it.
