So regardless of my choice. Just how many levels or whatever will it take for me to play out full character concept? Because most RPs don't last terribly long and if it's planned to happen way later than it would be potentially impeding on my fun.

Also you are aware that without its gimmick it's just a decent enough armor that just happens to summonable which is useful but far from OP. 

Also I too would be interested in seeing the entirety of this ruleset you guys got going.
