Hello! I am considering the game but have a couple questions in regards to this character, Saitama from One Punch Man. Sorry ahead of time that question 1 is a bit tl;dr lol.

1) In case you're not familiar with OPM, the comic is a sort of satirical super hero story where the main character became so determined to become strong he became literally over powered. And I'm using the word "literally" literally. He can beat anything with a simple punch if he wants to, and is indestructible. A prime example I use to show his levels of strength: during one fight he was kicked to the moon and jumped off the moon right back to where he started, with no bodily harm.

Now, with that said, his OPness is pretty important to his character, because of it he's become very depressed and immersed in an existential dread, and feels like he isn't even human anymore, etc. I'm willing to work with mods on power nerfing if they feel it's really necessary, but in past games I've been in they've let me keep him as is because while Saitama is OP he isn't self-centered about it. He doesn't really try to get into fights with people, he doesn't respond to people who want to fight him, often gets lost or sidetracked and will miss major fights or most of a fight, and doesn't try to showboat or try to take the spotlight. He genuinely wants other heroes to do their best, too.

I'm more than happy to do all that in games as well if I can keep his over-poweredness, because, tbh, it's one of the things I love about him and the comic and it's much more appealing to me to do amusing stupid shit like, idk, trying to help a kid find her lost favorite headband while something big is going down in a game lol. You can also view a post I made on his journal regarding possible things that might be bale to affect him, and I'm always open to communication from other players regarding threading with him if something needs discussed.

Okay, now for question 2). As mentioned before, his OPness has cast him into a depression so deep he can be seen as truly apathetic in a lot of cases. He's shown in the comic to be capable of annoyance or even happiness if there's a really good sale, but overall he isn't affected by a lot of emotions. I was just curious about how a character like that would be affected in a game like this, if you had set some sort of precedence with similar characters in the past.

Okay, thanks for reading all that, haha.
