A Hell Seeker is a character who is actively trying to get into Hell. Literally Hell, as in the afterlife of endless torment. Maybe he thinks that he will like it there, being allowed to "reign in hell" rather than becoming one of the tormented souls, perhaps thinking that he might even become one of the demons. (Such a character is usually eventually proven wrong, ending up at the bottom of the hellish food-chain.) Maybe he's a hardcore masochist who thinks that an eternity of torture and violation sounds great. Maybe he's concerned he'll otherwise wind up nowhere at all, or vanish entirely. Or maybe he's just trying to punish himself. Or maybe he lives in a setting where Hell is something much cooler than the horrors believed in by certain Real Life religions. It might also be that someone he loves has been damned and he prefers to spend eternity with them or is trying to rescue them. The Blood Knight might view Hell as a kind of Warrior Heaven where he gets to beat up demons all day, especially if Hell Is War. Or maybe, despite all the fire, brimstone, agonizing torture, and "What's New Pussycat?" playing on an endless loop, Heaven is even worse. A variation of the Hell Seeker tries to find and open the Gates of Hell, but does not plan on actually going inside — instead, he means to release the Legions of Hell, presumably so that they, in gratitude, will do his bidding. Of course, again, Evil Is Not a Toy, and, should he succeed, this variation will probably get eaten by the beasties he releases. Since most religions forbid suicide, one wonders why these people don't just shoot themselves. Contrast Heaven Seeker and Escaped from Hell. Also contrast To Hell and Back and Deal with the Devil. The former is for characters who want to go to hell but want to get out afterwards, while the latter is when the character accepts hell after death in return for getting good things in life but not having going to hell as a goal in itself, is likely to try to escape from the deal. This in turn can be contrasted with I'm Going to Hell for This. See also Dystopia Justifies the Means, when they decide to just settle for recreating Hell. If there happens to be an Easy Road to Hell, so much the better. Not to be confused with the Hellraiser: Hellseeker, although that movie is an example. |

Parodied in the Newgrounds cartoon "The Grim Reaper Show". When the Grim Reaper has to judge where to send a Satanist who really wants to join the Devil's infernal legions, he carts him off to Heaven because "you're actually a pretty easygoing kinda guy". Mind you, this is immediately after he had already sent every Christian to Hell. | |

During Goku's special interaction with Cell in Dragon Ball Fighter Z, Goku reveals that he is interested to see what Hell is like and even asks Cell to help him visit it someday, as it's seemingly hot and full of mean guys, and therefore may be a good place to train.note It should be noted that Goku has actually been to Hell more than once in non-canon filler for the Z anime. Hilariously, Cell responds by telling Goku that Hell is filled with nothing but sorrow, misery and "other things", refusing to divulge any more than that. | |

Bjorn Hammerparty from Helheim Hassle is a viking teenager who is a pacifist sick and tired of the viking Martyrdom Culture (Everyone in his village including his family is looking forward to getting killed in battle to go to Valhalla) and after dying in an accident he looks forward to being sent to Helheim before Odin sends him to Valhalla on a technicality (He fell of a cliff by accident and landed on a bear, which counts as a Mutual Kill fighting the bear) to fight to the death every day only to come back to life for all eternity which is not what he wanted his afterlife to be so he tries to weasel out of it and get to Helheim. | |

Dungeons & Dragons The 3.5 Edition Fiendish Codex sourcebook answers the question of why anyone would make a Deal with the Devil by explaining that most cultists are misinformed about the true nature of Hell, and assume that their relationship with their fiendish patron will spare them its torments, or fast-track them to the top of Hell's hierarchy - "Neither evil kings nor fanatical cult leaders look at a lemure and imagine it to be their most likely eternal form." In rare cases a damned soul may be promoted directly into the form of a higher devil and retain their memories and personalities, but most are subject to the usual mind-shattering tortures that reduce an incoming soul shell into an non-sentient devilish foot soldier. In the Forgotten Realms setting, devils are allowed to bargain with deceased mortals awaiting judgment in the Fugue Plane due an agreement they have with Kelemvor, the ruler of the place and the god of death. While not allowed to lie to or kidnap the dead souls, they may try to offer souls a bargain in exchange for coming with them, such as wealth for living families on Faerun, vengeance against still-living enemies, or even rapid promotion to stronger forms in the infernal hierarchy. Some mortals who worshipped cruel gods and/or lived lives where they violated their faiths may actually think Hell is better than the fate that awaits them, so while the devils' success rate isn't all that high, it's enough for them to keep at it. |

In Jack Lita wanted to go to hell so she could kill her father, again. Of course, she had no idea he had become one of the Seven Sins and she ended up helping him. There are also people who were masochists killed themselves wanting to be tortured and fetish nuts in life who don't mind being violated by demons in various ways. Hell proves smarter than them however, as the former are put in a calm, peaceful, cheery place that makes them think they're in fluffy cloud heaven, and are tortured mentally. The latter's soul ultimately meanwhile ends up in a re-creation of a Christian abstinence camp. |

The Other King in Unsong is actively trying to commit so many atrocities that he can't possibly be denied entrance into Hell when he dies. The reason why he's worried about being denied damnation is that one, he's trying to balance out a truly epic number of good deeds and virtuous actions performed back when he was still the Comet King, and two, Thamiel will take every excuse to bar his way into Hell since he knows perfectly well that if the Other King were to fully enter Hell he'd proceed to destroy the place. | |

Judging from the screams after she's Dragged Off to Hell, the Father of Lies was less than honest about her retirement policy... | |

Akumaro in Samurai Sentai Shinkenger wants to break the barrier between worlds and literally bring about hell on Earth. It's the only way he can see hell, because he was born a Gedoushuu (monsters of that series) instead of being a mortal who fell to The Dark Side. | |

There is an old gamer joke about a hardcore Doom player who finds a Genie in a Bottle and is granted three wishes: IDDQD, IDKFA, and a one way trip to Hell.note The cheat codes IDDQD and IDKFA give you God Mode, all weapons, all keys and max ammo, respectively. In some variants of the joke, it's a Deal with the Devil, and the devil sends him to Hell on Nightmare.note Maximum difficulty level. Monsters are more aggressive and respawn after they die. And cheat codes are disabled. |

The backstory of Zork has the legend of Saint Yoruk, who travelled to Hades to meet with the Devil and learn the secrets of magic from him. When Yoruk died, his soul went to heaven, but as he'd gotten used to Hades, he fought his way back there. | |

Weirdly zigzagged in Demon: The Descent. Demons in this setting are fallen angels and the basic assumption is that a given demon wants to find its way to Hell... however, "Hell" is not only seen as a positive place, but is a highly individual concept; one demon may want to lord over a traditional Fire and Brimstone Hell, but another may just want a quiet, normal life with a human family. The rationale is that Heaven is Hell in the human sense of the words, as it means being a tool of the alien/malevolent God-Machine with no free-will of one's own; with this in mind, "Hell", defined as "a complete and total separation from God", becomes a paradise. That said, there are degrees of "Hell." One faction of Tempters, the Devils, are noted as trying to make their own paradises free from the sight of the God-Machine... where they not only get to service as masters over their own domain, but to torment all the souls they see as "worthy" of eternal punishments. It's noted that, if any demon is ever outed as having these ethos, nearly every other demon in the area will make sure they meet a painful end, because they have limits. |

Tetsu from Saikano wants to go to hell (quote: "I still haven't killed enough to go to hell"), because he thinks that's where he'd go after death and that death is the only way out of his misery. May be simply a Death Seeker, though. He hasn't really thought this plan through, has he? |

Diabolists in Ars Magica take it as a point of professional pride that they'll be consigned to Hell upon death, whether in the (misplaced) belief that they will be elevated to devils and escape punishment or out of (one-sided) loyalty to their demonic masters; and tend to be quite insulted by the accusation that they'd try to weasel out of their final damnation. It is, of course, inconsequential that a highly specific and situational spell exists to give a damned soul a chance to elude the devil sent to collect it... | |

A common goal for Big Bads in the Buffyverse The Master at the end of season one, and Angelus and Drusilla in season two, are both "open the Gates of Hell" examples. While their demonic status helps explain this, Spike points out that most vampires only talk about destroying the world and are actually quite happy here, making genuine Hellseekers the anomaly. Ascension (which the Mayor was an example of) involved a mortal becoming a true demon. Glory was a perfect example. Everything she did was an attempt to return to the hell dimension she ruled. Anya initially sought to regain her demon status and go home when she became mortal. She also teamed up with Vampire Willow, who at least wanted to get back to her hellish alternate reality. The climax of Dark Willow's rampage, although she was really more of an Oblivion-seeker. Basically what the First attempts in season seven, with the Ubervamps replacing legions specifically from hell. Holtz knowingly trapped himself in a hell dimension, along with baby Conner, knowing this would be the ultimate revenge on Angel. This was the intent of releasing Illyria, although it turned out hell isn't what it used to be. |

An interesting take in the Creepypasta "How To Survive In Hell." The protagonist tells about the legend of someone in Hell known simply as "The Slaughter Man", rumored to be a particularly brutal Viking berserker. It's not so much that he wanted to go to Hell, but rather he thinks he's somewhere else entirely. | |

In Hellsing, the members of Iscariot are like this, although it's less seeking and more resigned to their fate. They believe it is their duty to "Form square in hell" and battle the daemons there. In the anime series, Incognito breathes this trope. He's quite explicit about it. |

YuYu Hakusho: Younger Toguro is one of these, in addition to being a Death Seeker. He chooses to be punished in the deepest level of Hell, even though he could have gotten off with a lighter sentence, because he feels that he could never be punished enough for what he let happen to his old martial-arts pupils and the aftermath of such. | |

Infernum has the Faustians; Black Mages who tend to deliberately move to Hell because a) time stands still for mortals so long as they are there, and in effect it can make them immortal, and b) it's easier to access the mana they need to fuel their spells there. It helps that all humans gain some low-level Reality Warper powers in Hell, that their magical abilities are potent enough against demonkind that they are granted "honorary demon status" by infernal law, and finally they legitimately can ascend to become full-fledged demons in their own right, so Hell is actually not so hellish for them compared to how it is for other humans. | |

In Hideaway by Dean Koontz, the Serial Killer antagonist calls himself Vassago, believing he is the human incarnation of one of the demon princes of Hell and that by hideously murdering enough people, will be allowed to return to Hell at Satan's right hand. After killing them, he arranges their corpses in ways that symbolically/artistically represent the sins he fancies they committed, but truly knows the reason for doing this has nothing to do with punishing the guilty. It's also hinted at that his beliefs of demon heritage may not be so delusional after all | |
