For those unfamiliar with the warrior's Inner Beast and stuff, the warrior armor isn't just a badass looking set of armor, it actually affects the person wearing it, mentally- it's kind of cursed. It gives the wearer incredible physical power but the wearer is at risk to losing themselves to bloodlust and becoming mindless killing machines if they don't have the willpower to resist. We want to use it for character development/a story arc.
If he just wanted to wear it for looks I wouldn't have even made a thread because we could just explain it as a museum-quality replica or something.
Ah. So the armor would actually be a focus of the RP.
Rp, to me, is a lot like ripples in water. You touch the surface of the water and the ripple spreads out, affecting a lot more than just the point you touched on it's way.
Point of the metaphor is highlighting why lore is so important. If his character would not have have this armour...then he should just not have it. And that's that. It's a little special snowflakey (in my humble opinion) to go around saying "I'm the one white mage" or "I have that one set of armor" etc.
Perhaps his character was adventuring and found this armor in a cave or dungeon. He has no idea what it is or what it does and he's noticing that when he wears it strange things start happening. It starts affecting him and his personal relationship and he finally reaches out to FC mates and whatnot for assistance/research.
Point being, tweaking the concept is fine. It doesn't have to be "THE" armor. It also opens more creative doors in my opinion for you to add your own stuff.
