Susanoo is not a bootleg Ravana. I think I can see where you're coming from; they both have a deep enjoyment of what they do. The main difference is that Ravana is a God of War; he rejoices in combat because he loves fighting. The more he can fight, and conquer, the better he feels. Susanoo is a God of the Revel.

Susanoo takes great delight in everything he does and does what he takes great delight in doing. His mount's description amounts to "This is a cool dog but it could use more flying. Now we shall revel!" We only see him reveling in combat because we put him down immediately after he shows up. I bet he'd be a hit at the parties.

tl;dr: Ravana "Let us rejoice in combat for combat is glorious!"
Susanoo: "Let us revel in combat for reveling is grand in all we do!"

EDIT: I'm not versed enough on the Kojin themselves, but yes it is a bit jarring that a culture given to seclusion and collection of artifacts worship a God that celebrates being "wild and pure and forever free".
