Except it's totally antimagic, and I can provide several examples of it cutting through magic and even hurting entirely ethereal beings.

As I said earlier, magic in the Berserk-verse isn't divided into subcategories of "demonic" and so-on. The Dragonslayer doesn't strictly affect demons, because demons in the normal sense aren't even a thing in the Berserk-verse. Either it comes from the astral realm or it doesn't.
And if we want to get really, really technical on how the Dragonslayer works, allow me to explain: it's soaked up so much magical blood it's starting to simultaneously exist in the normal and astral planes, essentially making it more real than anything else.

Also, it was never specified what material specifically the hammer was made of, so naturally I assumed steel or some similar alloy. The shaft is rather thin in the first place, and Guts can cleave through some seriously strong stuff with even just a normal sword.

@IncredibleBee

Your fundamental, and fundamentally flawed, assumption is that because magic = astral (and thus 99% likely to be described as demonic because this is Berserk and the world hates you; when most of what's there seems to be 'Apostles' it fits) in the original setting, all magic that shall ever show up in the RP works on the exact same rules. Not to mention that 'can cut purely magical/astral things' is not anti-magic. Anti-magic is cancelling it. That means, following simple logic, that just because you could cut something, doesn't mean you have cut something.

As I said last night: the Dragonslayer is not antimagic. It does not automatically negate anything magical that it happens to come near. Even if its anti-demonic features and astral existence would help, that doesn't inherently mean it goes through an unknown enchanted substance like it's butter. FFS, for all you know, the staff simply has a shear strength beyond how it looks.

Characterization is important. There wouldn't be any point in playing an established character if you didn't hold it to a certain degree of accuracy.
Also, I just said that it's not terribly hard to get Guts to not want to murder you. Just don't be a wizard. At the very least, don't immediately flaunt your wizardry or advanced technology. You'd think that would be a general rule, considering the generally widely varying technological levels and hostility towards witchcraft between worlds.

@IncredibleBee

Or... make things easy on the GM and play along in this one scenario, rather than requiring exhaustingly prepared work for the necessary task of 'get Guts to be where literally anyone else is. Better than falling into a random dimensional hole.

Lastly, you don't need an encyclopedic knowledge of Berserk like mine to know that Dragonslayer, the magic-cutting sword, is capable of cutting magic. The Demon Sultan Guts stabbed was a projection made out of magic.

Key word here: demon. The Dragonslayer is anti-demonic, it is not Imagine Breaker or Asuna from Negima. Any supposed anti-magic properties that come from dealing with the apostles are more down to it being an anti-apostle (and thus equivalent to anti-demon once you step back from cosmology) thing.

That sort of thing could easily be some distraction tactic. Guts has dealt with flashy fighters before, namely Silat.
Secondly, the Dragonslayer has totally cut through magic before. Remember when Guts fought the Demon Sultan? He was made out of fire, and the Dragonslayer hurt him.

@IncredibleBee

That's because it's anti-demon, not anti-magic. Apparently cutting through apostles like butter makes it even easier to cut through them.

And when it comes to 'getting involved with the rest of the RP at all', I've always held to fudging accurate characterisation as more important than trying to fit events to the characters. Especially when you need intimate knowledge of an enormous manga to actually begin to try and work out what might possibly not get a vicious response, given that your choices are 'far too advanced technology that seems like magic' or 'magic'. <.<

Misaka Mikoto

"Your... hat..." Mikoto said after some time, unable to keep quiet any longer. It was blinking at her, she was sure it was; the adorable froggy hat was quite definitely blinking. This was interrupted by the other child--the one that hadn't been throwing around metal and rock at an impressively high level, making Mikoto wonder exactly how someone like that could be totally unknown. Something about a gate?

"Do you know if the gate is metal?"

If it was, finding it would be a lot simpler: just walk around and pay attention.

Somehow, I don't think this particular part would work very well if everyone sits around waiting for posts where 2/3 of the people involved will be ruminating on the 1/3 of people actively involved in the conversation/already asked the question. XD

Shirai Kuroko

A large dog? That was uncommon in Academy City--maybe Uiharu would be able to track the delinquent down from that? Even better if there was more information to narrow down where the incident took place: even if it wasn't covered by cameras, sneaking about with a large animal for long without getting seen would be incredibly difficult.

Following the small girl's flickering gaze, Kuroko noticed that it kept coming back to her onee-sama... but not somewhere appropriate for someone else to be looking at so often, and she subtly adjusted her position between this newcomer and the Railgun to block her line of sight before asking, "Can you tell us where it happened?"

Shirai Kuroko

Unaware of the proferred hand until she'd already pushed to her feet, Kuroko recovered far faster from the shock than was entirely normal for anybody that didn't have a burning need to make sure that their phone was resistant to sudden current surges. "It was no taser, simply onee-sama's overenthusiastic chastisement. I am fine."

Straightening up, the teleporter looked at their new arrivals and the hand that she had failed to notice from her position face-down on the ground. Someone quite clearly from the same school as her colleague, though somewhat smaller than herself when she wasn't even particularly tall to start with. The other girl appeared to be highschool age. From the fact that she wasn't the one shaking and had in fact offered Kuroko help, it was clear that the smaller of the two was the one in need of assistance.

Fortunately, she was saved from having to ask what brought them to the Branch Office by Mikoto... though if the reason that brought them here even remotely involved conflict, it was going to be hard to stop the electromaster from getting involved, even after the reminder she gave after the delinquents earlier.

Also 80% of the cast would react to the Sisters with confusion, Kuroko would want to sleep with them, and Mikoto would get upset. None of them are allowed. :P

On further reflection: current timeline is after the Daihaisei. Winter uniforms for everybody! Still no saying what went on during that, or the stuff just before. Not that there's much of a reason to ever speak about that stuff.

She's not Kuroko, she's most likely safe. Kuroko is the world's best lightning rod.
