Bloodlust Defined
Please post your opinion on how bloodlust should be defined.
Obviously the characters are going all out. Does this mean that characters such as Superman vs Thor fighting would go for a kill even though that may not be in their character since both are "good guys"? Would this mean CIS, CIP and morals are not part of the battle?
Let me know how you all want bloodlust defined in the rules.

Yes, that.
When a character is bloodlusted, their moral compass goes out the window entirely, and they stop consciously and/or subconsciously holding back any of their powers. Their only directive is to win by any means necessary.
This page describes a bloodlusted state perfectly, imo, and doesn't just apply to Superman in that regard:

Pertinent dialogue:
They want blood, They will do absolutely anything to end the fight as quick and as swift as possible, but vicious also.
Perfect example;
Batman's main rule is he never kills, a bloodlusted batman would kill without hesitation, second thought or even a first thought
A Bloodlusted characters instinct is to kill, if silver surfer is bloodlusted imo as soon as the fight begins he create a blackhole in his opponents stomach an turn them inside out etc

thats what i always though blood lust was. would like if it kept to this. 👆
curious is there active debate over its definition? i only ask as im curious what other possible acceptable definition could be floating around if there is any that is.
I always just used it to remove CIS. Things like stopping for humans, or not holding back in fear of killing the other. But they still fight well, as opposed to mindless. Though that might go against the definition of bloodlust, that's just how I've used it.
Like if Berserker Wolverine is beating up Superman and is about to shank him. He's not going to stop just because a little Asian girl is crying in the corner.

But wouldn't that mentally change them as well? Their fighting tactic? Example...a thinking Thor would use lightning, Tornados and a lil wind in a battle but him being in a bloodlust state, he would mainly do hammer blows because he is basically in a rage and not thinking smart.
Like pretty much everyone has agreed: it is basically just another way of saying "no CIS."

Gotcha...I was just thinking that they would fight "out of character". Example, Superman during Sacrifice or Thor when he fought Maestro Hulk. Wouldnt you consider both blood lusted?
Originally posted by carver9Wolverine goes berserker. The comics are clear what that means. He's basically feral. That's an attribute to a specific character. Marvel has now said Hulk's personality is based upon his emotional state before he transforms. Again, it's pretty specific to that character.

We're basically stripping a character of their morals. And it's been noted in this thread with examples.

I agree to an extent. I guess it depends on the person and thread starter.

I don't shut up, I grow up, and when I look at you, I throw up. ahah
Originally posted by carver9So if Batman found his parents killer, he'd go after the guy in a rage where he's be an unthinking rage monster? Shut up and leave with Marwash. sneer
Looks more like CIS to me and CIS imo is completely different than Bloodlust. Bloodlust is a furious state imo...a state where you see nothing but red...killer instinct mode and being anywhere close to that doesn't mean you'll fight in a tactical fashion.
Originally posted by carver9Shut up and stop trying to complicate things. Hulk doesn't normally kill. The closest we've seen a bloodlusted Hulk is the WWH arc where it appeared he was willing to kill. It doesn't mean blind with rage or in a warrior madness rage...which you're about to see first hand.

I honestly don't agree that "no CIS" and bloodlust are the same thing.That said, if the majority wants it to be as such, then I'm not going to argue.
Oh, and shut up. sneer
That's right, I'm extra bastardly and despicable today. badawe
Originally posted by -Pr-Yeah I don't think they are the same either.

CIS is essentially us controlling them
Bloodlust is the character in a rage and morals off type deal.
