The Blood Knight:
Most likely a paladin, although this could be held comfortably by any of the melee classes. I'm thinking paladin mostly due to the one predominant obviousness: Sacrifice. What's a blood knight without splatter? :)
That being said, auras would be a topic of some debate. With the single-targetting of Sacrifice, some power would be appreciated. On the other hand, perhaps Thorns would be appropo as well (I'm remembering the spikey armor from the BKs in D1).
Weapons and Equipment:
My initial impulse is to equip the fool in Blood craftings at first opportunity. To reach that point, however, one might allow for the usage of anything that either leeches, returns damage or replenishes life? I'm open to suggestions, please. If that were the case, perhaps the building of his "Blood Suit" would be his Quest.
That being the case, one handed axes would be the choice, methinks... unless you'd opt for the big buggers for a show of style. Style can be a good thing. B)
Another restriction might be towards the anti-esthetic: It either has to look scary or sound scary. "CorpseMourn", "Rip Saw", "Goreshovel"... you get the idea.
Interaction:
Curmudgeon? Darth Vader? Lachdanan on a really bad day? A Disciple of Gorash? Input is appreciated, here.
Trials or Tests:
Aside from my thoughts on assembling a Blood Suit, I'm at a bit of a loss. Considering the wealth of variant community experience on the LL, I thought that this would be a good place to ask.
*looks pointedly at Griselda, Elric and Occhidiangela*
Thanks in advance!

Garnered Wisdom --
If it has more than four legs, kill it immediately.
Never hesitate to put another bullet into the skull of the movie's main villain; it'll save time on the denouement.
Eight hours per day of children's TV programming can reduce a grown man to tears -- PM me for details.
