Following up on the age bit mentioned before. Anime culture and all of the things it influences seem to have this habit of making incredibly versed combatants that are the ripe age of teen angst and highschool thought processing, despite being exposed to the 'horrors of war'. Older characters are less popular with the target audience, cited as 'harder to relate to'.
I find it more likely from younger characters able to perform these feats only because of things like Soul Crystals, if I've understood them correctly. Maybe we could argue that armors (aethericly?) compensate for lack of experience and do some of the work. Kind of like a powered armor concept, with... aether.
I still think it would be very uncommon. I can repeat things about presentation, but for the sake of this discussion I'd like to think it's better left to older adventures and soldiers that are more likely to have the experience up to that level of 'power'.
'Highly unlikely' but not impossible. My head canon is that the fellow who got eaten was one of our younger protagonist types.
'He's not coming home honey, you better move onto Option B-kun.'
Also, something occurs to me:
It would take an almost impossibly brave individual to do this sort of stuff. It really occurred to me as I watch it more, just how absolutely batshit you'd need to be as a character to do this sort of thing. Perhaps I feel to some degree, that it's not widely well represented in RP? A friend of mine calls it being 'needlessly overconfident' in the most affectionate way possible.
That all being said, I still think it would be cool to have a bunch of DRGs carried over to a battle in airships to engage in glorious aerial combat with some of the dragons.
