>>2768Might have to check it out since I enjoyed the chunks I've read of his KR spirits.
Rider motivation tends to stay within revenge/justice. While using fear is problematic, it would vaguely be more in line with Lovecraft material despite conflicting w/the whole powerless in the face of the unknown theme.
Imagine a fear activated belt. The mc stomps some grunts and starts building confidence, resulting in the belt beginning to fail. B/c his identity is known, he has to continually seek out stronger opponents just to stay alive. It's not perfect. You can always argue that the gradual paranoia of losing the belt and loss of individuality should allow him to use the belt like any other KR, but it could be neat to toy with.
