One Radically Overtuned Buff and Nerf for every character

[Just Ragnar]

These are all stupid ideas I thought of, to make the characters extremely weird and annoying to play. They are not to be taken as actual ideas for balances (except for the 1hp maxwell one i think that would be neat)

 

Wilson

Beard can now grow infinitely, providing more and more food storage and insulation at the cost of player speed. After a certain point, you can use the beard as general storage and as a weapon, but it'll slow you more and more.

Your beard cannot be shaven, as Wilson finds his beard absolutely wonderful. He finds it so wonderful, it persists after death.

Willow
Burning enemies now deals percentage based damage (1/100 th of max health/tick for giants, 1/10 for other animals), and can spread via the ground to other enemies.
Fires are now even more destructive and volatile, and will never stop burning.

Wolfgang
You can now work out more to get even mightier, for up to a 100x damage/work multiplier

Every time you work out, there is a 5% chance of severely damaging a muscle, increasing the more you work out. If this occurs, you lose all your mightiness and need to sleep for 20 days total in order to be able to be mighty again.

Wendy
Abigail now remembers ghosts can't die, and is immortal.
Abigail also remembers ghosts are incorporeal, and thus is unable to attack enemies.

WX-78
Circuits can now be compressed further, allowing you to fit all of them into 1 slot
Any amount of wetness makes you immediately explode violently.

Wickerbottom
No longer loses sanity or durability when reading books
Needs to sit down and actually read the entire book, in which you'll need to type everything in the book in order to prove that you're reading it. After reading everything, you'll have the effect occur.

Woodie
Trees chopped by Lucy allow you to instantly kill enemies if they're dropped onto them.
You do not control the wereforms, and they will all be stupid, such as the beaver destroying your base to make a dam, the moose running headfirst into a spider den, and the goose going for a nice swim. You now turn into them if you do too much of a certain action, like walking, gathering resources, and fighting.

Wes
Gets his balloon mech from the animated short
Is EXTREMELY unlucky, making everything on the entire map target him at all times.

Maxwell
You can now force enemies into your magic hat, allowing you to use the murder action on them.
You're so frail, you now only have 0.1 Heath, and eating too much at once upsets your gut, killing you.

Wigfrid
Being the main character in her own eyes, gets plot armor, allowing her to get up no matter what.
Due to a fear of lawsuits, is no longer able to deal substantial damage to enemies.

Webber
Nurse spiders now heal you properly, and spiders are always loyal to you no matter what.
Is no longer indigestible, so you will take 5 true damage every second.

Winona
Charlie alignment skill now makes Charlie kill enemies in the dark for you.
Wagstaff alignment skill now lets you create a gun and ammunition. It's a gun, will be very effective against enemies and bosses.

Winona is now a workaholic and if you're not working for 60 seconds straight, she will lose sanity at a rate of all of it/min

Warly
Warly can now use Kirby's old final smash, allowing him to drag nearby enemies into a pot, spewing out lots of great dishes!

Food penalty changed, so now Warly won't eat the food in his memory at all, until you've eaten every other crock pot dish in the game.

Wortox
Can now soul hop to other windows on your desktop, allowing him to steal any items from there.
Is always naughty, leading to there being atleast twelve krampii trying to kill him at all times.

Wormwood
Is able to use tree jam on himself to become way stronger
Is now extremely flammable, smoldering and burning faster than any tree, and can only be extinguished by anything that extinguishes tree fires.

Wurt
You have personal merm guards that spawn to kill anything that damages you.
Due to an iron deficiency, you will faint or become groggy over time.

Walter
The slingshot can now pick up and fire anything in the game. Deals damage/durabilty to whatever you fire.
Woby now carries you away from anything remotely dangerous no matter what how not-dangerous.

Wanda
You now age at a more normal rate, and taking damage doesn't age you, though you un-age at a slower rate.
They are after you. If you ever stop running, they will remove the game from your steam library permanently.

Wormwood also becomes rooted in place after getting wet, requiring amputation. This is basically impossible if you use tree jam.

[DegenerateFurry]

This sounds fun. Here's one for Wigfrid. 

Eating Volt-Goat Chaud-Froid now gives Wigfrid the might of Thor. This dodecuples her strength (12x damage); electrifies her attacks; allows her to conjure storms; gives her a unique attack with a hammer that deals tons of damage, acts as a boomerang, and strikes enemies with lightning; and makes her almost indestructible. All these effects last until the end of days.

An Aporkalypse-style calendar is started upon Wigfrid entering a world, counting down to day 60. The world border waterfalls are replaced with Jormungandr, the World Serpent, and if Wigfrid is on a boat that touches the edge of the world, Ragnarok happens early. The first winter never ends and is far colder than normal. On day 60, Jormungandr attacks, and the battle between it and Wigfrid destroys the Constant. Even if she survives, its venom will kill her on the ninth step she takes after defeating it. 

The game's title is changed to God of Warly in your Steam library if you "survive" Ragnarok.

Time to use that beefalo for an eight-step% speedrun.

Wilson have a constant chance of getting bugs into his beard that makes it itch, reduce max sanity and also periodically spawn fruit flies 

But he can grow additional arm out of beard hair to gain ability to dual wield melee weapons; doubling his attack speed and making attack canceling an intended game mechanic for Wilson

he doesn't need a second hand to grow from the beard, the beard IS the second hand! like Yukako's Love Love Deluxe but for his beard
