PvP done Afro Samurai style

Dont know what made me think of it, but how would people feel about PvP done Afro Samurai style? Not that this would be all there is to PvP, but just like an extra addition along with whatever else there was.

For those who have never read the manga or saw the anime with Samuel L Jackson, here is kind of a rundown of it:

There are 2 magical headbands (mind you it doesnt have to actually be a headband, just an item that works like this) which they refer to as #1 and #2.

The person in possession of #1 is considered the best fighter in the world, and the headband gives him special powers.

The only person who can even challenge the #1 and hope to defeat him and get the #1 for themselves is the owner of #2. Because of this, #2 is constantly hunted by the rest of the fighters in the world who all want a chance to challenge #1 and gain his powers as well as be considered the best of them all.

---------------------------------------------------

I think it would be kind of cool to have something like this with everyone trying to hunt down a specific player to get the #2, and then if they get it and can also manage to hunt down #1 theyre going to have a hell of a fight to take him out due to bonuses granted by the #1 item.

Of course certain rules would need to apply to make the system work well and prevent people from hiding in safe areas, or simply logging out with the item.

It would likely work best in a FFA PvP setting (maybe a game like Darkfall). As for stuff like logging out, it could be something that only remains on you as long as youre logged in. If the #1 or #2 log out, it will reset / respawn.

They could either be randomly hidden throughout the world causing people to explore all over (in the case of Darkfall, with daily server resets it would make logging back in after each reset kind of exciting and have people scrambling for it). Or if that doesnt work well, have them respawn in the sme location every time but with some sort of challenge (like a mini-boss or group of very tough mobs) to obtain it.

Having the #1 item could do things like add stat buffs, or some sort of increased (very high) regen, or a flat bonus to damage & defense. Something like that.

If nothing else, it would at least give some of the vets / top players some sort of 1v1 centric PvP with a purpose aside from just clan related activities and pointless PK.
