  • A character who has an extremely aggressive treatment of competitive events, ranging from important goals to even light-hearted pastimes. "It's just a game" will always go over this guy's head as he insists on being the best at any minor challenge placed in front of him.

The Rival is often a case issued against a single competitor. See also Blood Knight and "Stop Having Fun!" Guys. May also overlap into X Must Not Win or Nobody Calls Me Chicken.
