Hot tempered guys kicking ass needed.
I’m writing a story and require the assistance of a hot tempered guys (or some violent chicks who kick ass) between the ages of 24 to 29. This story I’m working on has a character going off to kick some other guys ass, and I’m feeling a bit stuck on exactly how this character is thinking besides saying he was really pissed off and ready to kick ass. Basically I need a few people to explain how they felt when they knew they were going to confront someone (for a valid reason) and it would more than likely lead to violence.
Things like this would really help me:
Were you shaking with rage beforehand?
Did you scare yourself at how angry and violent you were?
How did that person react when they saw you?
Did you talk yourself into more of a fury as you headed there?
Did it end the way you thought?
Thanks to anyone who answers
I Imagine every awful thing I've ever seen somehow embodied in that person.
I hear a locomotive pumping behind my ears.
I get high off the fear in the other persons eyes to what must be the angriest face they'd ever seen. The moment they realize I mean business, I've already won.
The pain inflicted on me during a fight gets me high as well. It's intoxicating. When I dislocate a finger or hurt my wrist while punching, it's like pouring kerosene on a fire.

^This was all years ago to be sure, but I remember it well. I admit it's been a while since I had the opportunity. I was a fighter, not a lover, for years.

I don't hear anything.
My peripheral vision fades away
My chest and arms are strong and full
My jaw is firm
My feet are solid
I am unmovable
I stare right into their eyes
I know I will win
I have been to jail
I have been to the hospital
I fear neither
I know they do
I know they don’t want to get hurt
Or arrested
I do
I want the warm bed of the hospital
I want the days off from work
The meals
I will not stop and I let them know that
I’ve been told that I look excited and eager
Pleased to risking so much
I talk.
I tell them I want this
I tell them I want to know they’re in the hospital
I tell them I can’t wait to hear their girlfriend cry and beg me to stop.
I pull off my shirt so they’ll see the tattoos
(So they can’t grab onto it)
I always hit them first
Always
That’s crucial.
I hit them with something if possible.
Maybe that will help you.

You say you guess its adrenaline, but do you think that maybe your emotions get the better of you and flood you all at once. Like I know that when I get pissed and am ready to get into a fight I start to smile and Im not even sure why. I have been told its quite demonic looking and I can't help but smile. And like you said I to have cried, not aloud but tears well up in my face. Just thought that was interesting that you mentioned it.
It's just what happens sometimes, not every time. I don't feel sad or scared, well maybe sometimes scared, but it's more like "why the fuck am I crying when I'm fighting, this doesn't look cool".

Thanks for the help people!
First off, I'm not the sort to throw down at the drop of a hat, and I'm a little outside your age range, but I think I can remember enough to offer a reply:
Adrenaline messes with your sense of time, and numbs some senses while enhancing others. Which can be confusing as I think it varies from person to person.
Every time I've been in a physical fight, I've cried. Even when I was clearly beating the tar out of the other guy, I'm not talking a few tears, I'm talking sobs of orgasmic proportions. Whole body crying.
Also, that 'fight or flight' reaction, when it hits, it's not like it's a deliberated thing. If anyting you come up with that after the fact to explain yoru actions. When you actually decide to activate someone's dental coverage, you aren't thinking in ideas and sentences, you're, if you are relatively collected, looking for weak spots. The nuts, the nose, grabbing hair so you can slam a skull to concrete, that sort of thing. I've never hurt anyone in a real way, but every time I've physically fought I was out to break bones and kill. If I'd had a gun or knife, I'd have been up for manslaughter or murder, no question.
I don't mean that as any sort of bragging. In Fight Club, when they talk about how it's not that easy to start a fight with a stranger, that's true for guys, the older they get. Two 7-year-olds will throw harmless fists over nothing. Two 27 year olds are 1) professional boxers; 2) total losers; 3) some combination of 1 & 2; 4) so pissed off they aren't considering physical or legal repercussions.
When we call soccer 'football' the terrorists have won.
I find that the root of my rage is the frustration of actually wanting to fuck them but knowing I'll be rejected if i try so beating the crap out of em is the only viable release, i feel nothing but calm beforehand, afterwards the adrenaline rush leaves me shaking and hungry and high.

Yeah, I would say this is closer to me than the other guys. The angrier I look in a situation the more stable I am usually. Normally cause if I'm in a situation where it should be expected that I'm angry and I'm not it's cause I'm sizing the other person up. I will be calm and collected until I perceive there to be no other way to resolve or exit the situation. Then I usually go for the weak spots like Chixulub. Either a punch to the face/throat, kick/knee to the balls or, if I feel really threatened, a stamp to the left knee cap in an attempt to break it or disable them. Or if I'm holding something heavy I will hit them with it or if it's something light I will throw it in the air by their head to distract them for a split second so I can land the first strike.
However, there are exceptions to the stability rule - usually when I get so frustrated that the red mist comes down of its own accord. In that situation, and it's only happened once or twice in my life, I just snap. Once when I was like 9 or 10 where I tried to choke some stupid kid and once when I was 16 and playing basketball with two guys who were just dicking me around. In that case I just started screaming and throwing stuff around whilst they literally backed away wide eyed. I don't know who I scared more, them or me. I work very hard to maintain control
Anyway... I have never actually gotten to a point where someone has pissed me off so much that I sat down and planned to beat their ass. In fact I have never been in a real fight in my life as I always restrained the person or found a way to walk away. So I'm probably not the right person to ask. But from situations where it almost happened it was always the calm before and the adrenaline afterwards. The adrenaline makes you shake and feel dizzy and sick. And during the calm I get a tight feeling at the back of my head and I feel physically lighter, almost like a dream.
...and as they both drowned the scorpion said to the frog "because it's in my nature."
I used to sustain some pretty serious anger management issues. The strange thing is that whenever I was out to hurt someone I knew exactly what I was doing. It was totally clear in my head the type of damage I wanted to inflict and I'd do just that, but when the fight was over and the adrenaline fades away, I'd only remember bits and pieces. People often had to remind me of what I'd done after it just happened.
I knew I was in a fight and I felt the pain inflicted by the other man when the fight was over more than when I was struck by him. I always found this sort of weird and when I'd confront counsellors on the subject they'd say it was totally normal to "zone out" when you feel passionately about something.
I did really scare myself and always felt bad for the people I hurt. So badly that sometimes I'd try to make friends with them afterward if only for a short while to try and make up for being such a jerk.
Just about when I'm about to punch the shit out of some guy's face, hoping it will explode like fuckin' Hiroshima and there ain't nuthin' left but some mush where his head once was, I tend to cry. I guess it's the adrenaline.
