Afro Samurai -esc status goal. (Either in the game or a mod.

(I posted this in the Steam discussion first, but I figured that it would be better to post on the official game forum. So please, if you happen to see it on steam, don't give me rage about "you stole that post!" or whatever. Thank you ^_^)

Basically, I feel like it would be really awesome if there could be some kind of 'top dog' warrior, who would be known and respected as such, and would be able to prove his position by way of some piece of equipment.

I know that in this particular game, the main goal is Survival, and making yourself more successful, and combat is more a necessity as it is forced on you, or is used as a means to an end.

But what if, there was some off-hand, or primary for those few zealots, goal for those who choose to take up the sword? An underlying reason to pursue strength besides having something to destroy or protect? There could be an weapon, piece of cloth, crown, ring, maybe even pair of gloves, that gave a signal that the wearer is supposedly the most powerful single fighter in the world, and it would be constantly switching owners by the week.

For it to really mean something, there could be some honor or legend tied in with it, possibly the BELIEF that it bestows a blessing on the owner, and part of the legend would be that it could only rightfully be obtained by defeating the owner in one vs one combat.

If someone were to attack the owner while outnumbering him, the word or rumor may have a chance of spreading, showing that the current owner has no honor and is not following the tradition, and could be treated with disrespect all around.

Another option would have it so that there were multiple objects of the same status. They could either be copies of one-another, or different items that hold the same title. It could even be so where one item was known to be higher then another, possibly (like the title suggests) multiple numbered headbands, the closer to number one, the more important.

I don't know, it's just an idea. And I think it would be a cool little addition and I doubt it would change the feel of the rest of the game all that much.
