some medal for getting wounded in line of duty

or for protecting the king

Sadly it doesn't work like that in my story as if ytou're injured, you're either dead or healed up ready for battle.

As I said, there is a lot of plot into this story

what's the setting

technologically

Colonial, Napoleonic

So muskets, sabers and cannons

He could've survived

just with no leg

or arm

He can't leave the military though

That's a big part of my story XD

Could he still get honored in the newspaper without leaving the military? Would that work somehow?

The only thing I can think of, is assassinating A high ranking officer

Could Jackson have done that?

So a bounty basically

are we talking about jackson or his dad?

Jackson has a reflexes and great eyesight

Due to magic being infused into him

Is that how all the soldiers are or just him?

He was a test subject

I have to explain this part

Gotcha

funny you should mention that, I gave my MC triple the usual reaction time because mutations

and neurological issues

I gave my MC a self-inflicted curse that's more inconvenient than helpful lol

well, neurological issues are also kinda inconvenient - especially when you can't feel emotions because your brain simply doesn't know what that is

Oh yeah that is inconvenient

My MC's curse is like being a werewolf except it's a dragon

Ok this might be a little cliche

can't ever really emphasise with anyone and love is impossible in the traditional sense

ehh, I don't see it as too cliche

dang, that is unfortunate

what's the plothole though

oh, because the other MC has to recognize jackson from somewhere

Yeah

that's...so....cluttered....

must

fix
