The Vanguard's Vanguard (the first unique from the newest belt type)

Some may scream
while others rant,
"Who needs a belt
when you have no pants."

Not sure about the name, but to highlight the duality theme of the belt I was thinking something like this for the flavor text:

We avoid the trials we can
And endure those we must,
Vitality comes not from superiority
But from versatility.

Awesome flavor text! Excellent!

Name: The Zephyr's Determination

Flavor Text:
"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks! Rage! Blow! And thou, all-shaking thunder, strike flat the thick rotundity o' the world!"



I wanted to highlight as many aspects of this item as I could here. First, about the name:
The Zephyr's Determination has a dual meaning. The first is reference to ZiggyD (Z...'s D....) by name, the second is a reference to wind (a zephyr). The mods of the item suggest a hurricane like force to me -- strong winds can be like both a brick wall (armor) and an ephemeral, uncatchable force (evasion). A strong wind will absolutely stop you in your tracks (stun), and creates a force that will reduce the impact of anything you throw at it no matter how hard you strike (fortify). Finally, the player who wears the item becomes the powerful wind in this analogy. The relentless force of the hurricane is taken on by the player in the form of Onslaught.

For the flavor text, I wanted to touch on these themes again of course, and have adapted/modified a series of lines from Shakespeare to fit the theme of wind as presenting a relentless onslaught.

"For years this belt
has stopped the
fall of nations...
and pants."

Into the belly, and under the plate
Is it will that guides me or is it fate?

It feels like a Kaom/Daresso item to me. So maybe something like this.
