Give Wotan heavenly restriction if you’re able to fight him in the story. Having to fight someone with just pure hands yet be so strong because his magic was sealed off would be sick.
No curse, no weapons, no nothing. No gimmicks what so ever, besides fighting style. Hear me out on this but him using Impact Fist & Radius Fist at the same time would be crazy, especially if you just release that update. Fits perfectly as well since it’s a lost fighting style.
aka, (hire me free of charge for the story and I’ll sign an NDA )
The MC used to be apart of the Order Of Aesir as one of the lower rankings (maybe an officer?, being below a baron.).
Besides the point there could be a fact of how the character had followed the leader of the Aesir (being Warren) due to the fact that he has a strong sense of justice. It could be said that Warren at one time had saved the MC and they had felt a great sense of debt, so he had joined the order as well because of that.
Here is where theenergy switches here, but stay with me for a bit.
The MC finally realizes that Warren and the Order of Aesir’s tests are evil and the sense of justice wasn’t the same for the MC and Warren. The MC frees some test subjects that haven’t been harmed yet, (some of these people can be found in the Bronze Sea maybe, (“Don’t you look familiar?” or “Don’t I know you from somewhere” NPC at one of the towns I forgot). The next thing the MC tries to do is take on Warren by himself, (dumb move.). Due to this Warren absolutely beats the living life out of out of the MC and throws him into experimentation with Morden. Morden doesn’t know that the MC worked in the order or freed experiments since he had just been shipped to the lab after that whole ordeal. After the beating from Warren and all the experiments, the MC had their memories lost in them, but not completely forgotten. (Time-skip here since we don’t know how the MC & Morden & Tucker escaped).
This goes on later of half of the Nimbus Sea, but our MC has his first of many dreams that will later occur in the story of his PTSD. You’d be in a dream walking down a hallway in a completely different outfit while passing by jail cells. Then you’d wake up. That’s all for the nimbus sea, but later in the story the dream would occur again but for longer with more details. Maybe if you were sleeping at a camp at another abandoned island, you would send an attack to wake yourself up.
Finally it kind of adds the cherry on top to everything here, but the MC trusts Warren and casually climbs up a whole giant mountain because he said Iris was there. As you said before it’s almost instinct and muscle memory.
I think also seeing a part of way later into the story of Warren planting evidence on you saying that you were a member of the Aesir and getting your allies to fight you. (Basically Warren building the MC up so he could knock him down, as an even more sadistic way of revenge.).
that would be terrible, especially since fighting style and weapon users in this verse cannot possibly become as strong as curse users or mages
someone who is known as “the conqueror” and owns an entire kingdom would be really lame if they were just a lost fighting style user and be one of the weakest rulers
i dont watch anime, the last time i took inspiration from one piece and fairy tail for these games was like 2016, most of the inspiration comes from things like a song of ice and fire writing style wise
psure he already explained before that everyone has inherent magic energy and subconsciously imbues into what they use so they are able to attack curse users
The explanation is that, people without an open mind, which allows to use magic, usse subconsciously very little magic, so non-magic can probably still hit a curse user, like maple said
Since he is fucking strong, its would be reasonable to make him insane for example. This is should give players an advantage during fight. Like for example sometimes he get blinded by insanity and starts chaotically using aoe-based skills which would deal lower damage, so players could get a break.
Its not like to make him an easy boss, but to make him actually custom and funny to fight.
nah, but that’s the point of the whole thing. Basically all of his stats are sky rocketed due to that restriction. His Strength, Speed, and all other physical attributes are enhanced to 100x more. So he technically was born with magic, but he can’t wield it. So all that mana that builds up just goes into his strength and speed, etc. He isn’t just a plain old warrior, he’s a conqueror.
Also due to that he’d be technically on par speed wise with mages. What I’m trying to get at is his lack of magic abilities yet being so strong made him be feared as a conqueror. (Short story short is, if Toji can go blow for blow with Gojo, then why couldn’t Wotan can go blow for blow with mages.).
