What is the policy on swords and sword based characters. I've been running a character for a good while now that I've been wanting to adapt for the Naruto story.
He is from a clan that once trained only great Samurai but since the past several generations has allow members to join the ninja academy (I haven't decided for what country yet)
Yes they would have clan only techniques, but no kekkei genkai
I looked over the forums restrictions, and noted that no missing-nin nor mist swordsmen would be allowed. I wasn't sure if kenjutsu specialist characters were allowed.
Thank you for your time....

From my experience, Itachi has some issue with swords, despite the fact that all ninja carried ninjato, and won't allow anyone to have one. Samurai wielding ninjutsu, nice. He might accept it, samurai are a part of the Naruto-world now. I'd say go ahead and make the character, try your luck, but i'm not staff. I can't say if it'll be accepted or not. Good luck, sounds like a nice character build.

The closest we've got on that is the Hishirugi Clan, who possess no Kekkei Genkai, but they are natural Weapon Masters who use everything from bow & arrows, claws, Scrolls, Exploding Tags, Senbon, Kunai, Yagyuu shuriken, etc.
Honestly, swords are put on a pedestal. There are a MILLION other bladed weapons that are just as good, and don't violate the "no swords" policy.

Wait swords are Banned, that is just retarded. Hundreds of Ninja hold Katana's which is a Japaneses longsword, EVERY SINGLE ANBU has one. This is not just the Leaf, Plus we have Samurai now, which is you payed attention to the Series you would know they were around before they actually appeared due to them beign meantioned a couple of times(I am referring to the Anima I am not so caught up with the Manga). Almost All Ninja wield swords, and those that do not usually have a reason not to, weather it just be the way they fight. And hey to all Admins, if I had the money in what gods sake is going to stop me from BUYING a SWORD! Naruto takes place in the Ninja world were I hate to say it, but you can just buy swords. I can understand saying no to enchanted weapons(That means all not just swords), but to say no to swords is like saying no to Kunai, were a lot but not all Ninja use them. Just because our Main Character Naruto does not use one also is no reason. He fights several people with swords. I can also understand no custom 7 swords man, but once AGAIN no Swords!?!

The 'no swords' policy was implemented to prevent little noobs from making sword based characters that become all powerful due to the plagiarizing of techniques from shows such as Rurouni Kenshin. Itachi allows swords in special cases; to people he trusts will not abuse them. Although it may be time to change the rule, it was originally an important one.
And, as Arikado said, what's so special about a sword?

*stands their and Admires Kabuto-Boys stance* Wait Swords are no allowed? Then why was I allowed to make one? I think this is being blown out of proportion I think Arikado is talking about enchanted swords. However Kabuto that was a nice speech you made, but I doubt the Admins would make a rule as stupid as that. I think they just mean Custom swords, like a Chain Blade, or a Sword like Sasuke's.
Okay SiN's post was put up while I was writing mine so I editing mine, Swords are a revolutionary weapon, they made Japan what it is, and is deep into their culture as it is in Naruto. It is very important for the world of Naruto, and even more with Samurai. However I have noticed that this thing about staying original keeps being blown out of proportion. Like is I made a Katana that is pure black, it gets banned for looking just like Ichigo's, despite that their are also hundreds of Animia's with the same design, and my sword does not have any of his Abilities. If a Noob has a similar move does not mean it was copied from another site. Their is bound to be Similarities, and if a Noob came on and made on exactly the same I got something for you, type Denied, and move it to the trash or whatever, which will take you exactly a single minute.

No enchanted swords makes perfect sense. Enchanted weapons make no sense whatsoever(still awaiting explanation for Samehada) and are very easy to abuse in RP. But what would be wrong with having a black katana? The only thing that sounds special about that is it is made of something other than steel. From what you said about them, it sounds like yall want everyone to have a speciallized weapon or none at all. It's not just katanas, either. I once tried to make a character with a longsword on this site and it was denied simply for being a sword.

As it was said above, people who prove that they are not going to be stupid with them may be granted the use of a sword. However, these exceptions will not come often, and when they happen with will try to keep it fair.
As for the black katana... More often then not they were made of steel, they were just 'darkened' to the point that light wasn't reflected from it. Just clearing that up.
Anywho, this is your chance to get creative with what kind of weapons you have.
