He would like his character to acquire it IC, and we both think the struggle to properly use the armor and maintain control would be an interesting arc for his character and a great conflict between him and those close to him.
The problem, of course, is that as far as either of us know, it's the only set ever to exist, and while Curious Gorge was considering making duplicates he evidently decides he doesn't want it after all and leaves it with you in the end? (I haven't seen the dialogue of the final quest but this is how it was described to me) So it would be, uh... really special for his character to have the armor.
So what would the protocol for this be? Is there a loophole we've missed? Are there similar sets of armor in the lore we could utilize to the same effect?
Also, we generally only RP with our Free Company and have yet to attend any events or do any "public" RP in bars or whatever, so I've suggested to just go with it if it would be okay with our other FC members, since they're the only people whose RP would be affected by this decision, but it makes the lore hound in both of us cringe a little.
Thoughts?
I use the Paladin Relic ooc for Erik because I like the look. That said I clear it IC by saying Erik liked the legend and the look of the blade in old books that he had a COPY made to use for his personal Sworn blade. As a rule of thumb, if you like a piece of one of a kind gear, best to claim your's as a copy.
