Step up, make a move.

Seconded. Remember, Dragon Ball Z is not an interesting RP, it's a bunch of people who start off a battle looking pretty normal but because they keep powerplaying each other it looks really stupid and they finish every battle with really high yellow hair. I don't want that, and I hope no one else does either.

Interesting RPs involve weak characters as well as strong ones, and every character needs something that makes them human, some vulnerability, something any character could get them with. Simply because you thought of a way to cover every loose end in your defense structure does not mean you should actually cover every loose end. Interesting RPs involve the exploitation of PCs weaknesses. Otherwise, really, there's no tension, no drama.

Lykaon's armor in itself is a weakness. It hides his identity, but is unique, and thus makes him idetifiable, and he's kinda...unsociable.

Not to mention with that much weight, he'd be screwed if he fell in the water. He is inhumanly strong (with good reason, which will be revealed when he is unmasked...) but he can't swim in full ebony. No one realistically could. And the mask wouldn't help. Even if he got to the surface, unless removed the mask would be full of water...

Oh, and he's entirely a melee warrior, which leaves him open to assault from mages and archers.

More of mages though, Ebony is a pretty hard armor to pierce.
