Handle Colors

Introduction Within the Empire, all weapons are required to be completely black. This includes the blade, the haft, handle, pommel, etc. However, over the years the empire has adopted Japanese styled handles and allow for personal customization.
There are some standards however, only one person may own a color scheme per branch. The only exception to this is for Administrative Command Staff Members, who cannot have counterparts in other branches. Another exception is that no member can use gold or neon handle wrappings. (warlords may use gold handle wraps)
Each handle scheme features an under-color and a wrapping color. We are limited by what we have access to.
