Policy-9

The Proposal
==== Additional Samurai Armor Exceptions ====
# Samurai armors are granted an exception to the all-black standard for findings, buttons, grommets, etc. These items may utilize natural steel, gunmetal, and other silver/gray finishes. Command ranks of Taichou and above may utilize gold-colored findings, grommets, etc. Buttons may be natural browns or blacks. This loose standard has subjective limitations and can fall at the discretion of a vindication for approval/denial. See images for examples of what is meant and intended by this policy.

# Fourth Guardians may decorate their armor with limited silver accenting. This includes utilizing natural steel connector rings and select plates. While there is no hard standard on where you can utilize this decoration, it is important to note that this policy is intended for accenting only. An administrative command staff can refuse to allow particular schemes if they deem it a deviation from the intended allowance. See images examples of acceptable and encouraged decoration schemes.

# Knights, Champions, and Warlords may decorate their armor in the same fashion a Fourth Guardian would, but instead of utilizing natural steel, they are allowed to utilize their respective rank seal. Red for Knights, Blue for Champions, and Gold for Warlords.
