Glad You Thought of It
You know how the Glad I Thought of It trope is when a character suggests something, only to have another scoff at the idea, but then claim it to have been their own idea when it succeeds? Well, maybe there's a trope involving a character who has a plan, but wants someone else to think it's their idea and thus drops subtle hints about carrying out the plan under the idea that it was their idea to begin with.
Grooming The Enemy
At certain times a character feels they need a suitable enemy or opponent to test out their skills. Perhaps they're a Challenge Seeker looking for the big life-fulfilling thrill. A predator looking for some very particular form of prey. Maybe they're an Egomaniac Hunter searching for their most dangerous hunt. Perhaps even a baddie Yearning for a Nemesis that fits their needs.
But alas, no such target is present.
