I think, by Rune's answer of 'no,' it was a larger statement than just a 'no you may not do these.' Though if you read it closely, telling you that you may not do these, is introducing the very limit you asked for, Stephan. The limits are completely limiting; you may not use those ideas in the creation, playing, or evolution of a character. That's a fairly clear limit.

As to a swordsman, Tohea has swordsmen already. They have relatively average backgrounds for swordsmen, except perhaps for a few, and are admitted without much thought, because this likely isn't an integral part of their character, just their background.

Generally, Tohea likes to keep a lid on players who can slaughter their opponents without using Pokémon, since it is Pokémon that this RP is focused on. As it is a Pokémon RP, I think it is understandable to say that the limits on introducing non-Pokémon elements into character creation, elements that would give that character an unfair advantage over others, is unfair to the average player who is just here for a good time, and unfair to you, because you're no longer playing the realistic Pokémon RP that the staff here at Tohea struggles to bring you.

If you want to use a sword, that's fine, explain away. Keep in mind that you are not Himura Kenshin and can cross rooms in the blink of an eye, not Sagara Sanosuke and can lift a Zanbatou without breaking a sweat, and can not in any way use a sword as a ranged weapon other than a clumsy throw.

And guns are given only temporarily to players if they are good enough to get one through RPing; they do not come with one from the beginning of their journey, nor can they purchase one. Having a way to kill your opponent without use of a Pokémon is taking away the focus on Pokémon that Tohea has.

So Runea did give you the set of limits. The limits are that none of that can be included. At the most extreme, you can have a sword, but again, be aware your skill will suit your age and human physical limitations that the Tohean staff deem to be within reasonable ranges.

I am sorry if I sounded rude or obnoxious, but that is what I was looking for, details and information about the limits. Thank you.

No apology necessary, Stephan, I'm glad we were able to clear it up for you. You're welcome.
