4. Work Hard, Play Hard

Klingons live life to its fullest, both at work and at play.

When they're job, killing and pillaging, Klingons are incredibly stubborn and focused. It's almost impossible to dissuade them from a course of action. Once they start a mission, they see it through until it's complete or all the Klingons involved are dead. It's a big part of what makes them such frightening warriors on the field of combat.

They take that same zeal into the rest of their lives, too. There ain't not party like a Klingon party because a Klingon party ends with a lot of injured people and incredible amounts of property damage. Klingons drink Blood Wine until many of them black out, and the Klingons that are still conscious are usually fighting each other. Sometimes they play a wonderful game where they headbutt each other into oblivion.

If you're going to join the Klingons for a celebration, and they have a lot of celebrations, be prepared for a trip to the infirmary when the night is over.
