(update:1/8/06)ok i'm adding some rules to this thread. not anything to horrible.
1.if a specific weapon or armor is listed as 'rare' it means no one can use it unless given permision by the captain only. why this rule? because i have certain things here that i only want used by one person at a time. again all other weapons & armor can be used in the rp or create your own, but the 'rare' ones are for a special purpose so can only be used by one person at a time. i will list the names of the person carrying the rare items so no one gets confused. no stealing someones staff.

here are some weapons & armor for members to look at & get an idea of what they want to use for there character if they want. (this thread was requested by a member)

Staffs: (there is only one of each of these staves)
current user (Lazy_Marine_89):User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.'rare'- a magical staff. this staff was forged at the beginning of the world by a powerful wizard. the actual staff is carved from the millennium tree which is located in the uncharted territories. :magic it grants its user: create fire, doubles your strength, turn stone to flesh (good for creating monsters)
current user (no one):User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.'rare'- this magic staff was created from a branch off the millennium tree. while holding the staff the owners natural healing ability is slightly increased. wounds heal faster than normal. :magic it grants the user: globe of daylight (for seeing in the dark), negate poisons, cure illness, purification of food/water (if poisoned), restoration (restore severed limbs & bring someone back to life.) the restore magic does drain the user of there life energy. not wise to use this spell often.
current user (nahshon):User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.'rare'- this gnarled & twisted staff comes from the great millennium tree in the uncharted territories. :magic it grants to the user: makes the user invulnerable to all snake venoms & all types of dragon breath (fire, acid, lightning etc...) can inflict damage to dragons & supernatural serpents. the user of the staff can command it to change into a large snake. in this form it can attack others with fire breath or venom. if in this form the snake is destroyed it turns back into a staff.
current user (no one):User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.'rare'- carved from the millennium tree. this staff grants its user limited power over the air. :magic it grants the user: levitation, flying on a cloud (creates a cloud you stand on to fly), fingers of wind (allows you to pick things up with mini tornadoes), wind rush (strong blast of air that can knock things over), summon fog (to hide you), & call lightning (shoots lightning bolts at people & things).

current user(no one):sword of soulsUser Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.'rare'- this sword has magical properties granted to it from the many souls that reside in the blade. when someone is killed by the sword their spirit is absorbed into the swords blade. the person that is currently using this weapon then can draw upon each souls different skills & powers both physical or magical. current known magics of the sword: increased strength & weapons mastery, increased physical healing, fireballs(coming out of the blade). each person that weilds the sword tends to find at least one knew magic. the true origins of the sword are shrouded in mystery.

Ryuu Kokyuu of light (rare) ((current user, odin01))- this sword of light has the essence of pure good within it. however it can consume the souls of the wicked and may also purify peoples souls. it balances out the evil of the dark blade of the demon like yin and yang. this is the good side to the yin yang blades.

Dark blade of the demon (rare) ((current user, odin01))- this blade is the evil side of the yin yang blades. it was the sacred item of the kingdom without a name, but when the land was destroyed, their prince escaped with it. now with the Ryuu Kokyuu, the prince can finally stop the constant battle his mind had with this blades evils.

Sepris
Height (Total): Approx 6 feet
Height (Primary Blade): Approx 4 3/4 feet
Weight: Approx 130 lb
Though now reduced to little more than a ceremonial instrument by most the Sepris was once the weapon of choice for the small matriarchal tribe that invented it. Strong and versatile, it can be wielded in many ways and fought with in many styles, the original style was thoroughly beautiful but mostly lost to the ages along with it's disciples, sweeping slashes punctuated by crushing blows, the traditional red ribbons could distract most prey, human or otherwise. It takes a strong arm and a grasp of several not so simple magics to even attempt the use of this weapon, at 130 pounds no man nor woman can manipulate it properly with out a few enchantments.

Traditionally only high ranking women of the tribe were allowed the privilege of use, all others would be punished severely. In recent years the weapon's population has risen greatly, though it is still rare and mostly unheard of.

that'll do for now but photobucket doesn't allow images as big as the original, I've another place in mind but it'll take a bit.

edit: well that didn't talk nearly as long as I expected.

I've added western stuff, cause westerners are not going to have Nipponese weapons at first.
swords: we all know about these, difference is that usually western weapons are of inferior quality, and dull quickly. On the reverse side of the equation they are cheaper to make. Exceptions to this rule do exist such as the calvary saber or rapier.

Hammers and maces: used for crushing and breaking things, they were built to crack and smash open heavy armor on the battlefield, but here in Nippon where leather and chain offer no defense they tend to crack skulls and break bones, the downside to these weapons is that it takes more time to actually kill somebody with it, and it is often seen as an uncivilized weapon.

Axe: Used for chopping wood in Nippon, seen as the tool of peasants, or bandits, the Nipponese believe it is a weapon used in desperation. the westerners have a different view, the only western blade that is the equal of the katana in cutting power, but unlike katanas some axes like the tomahawk (European made, it is a best seller among the natives of the New World) can be thrown with devastating accuracy and power, a humble but effective weapon.

guns: incredibly rare and hard to come by, westerners are the only ones capable of making them at this time, and the samurai look down on them as dishonorable. But the devastating power of these things is not to be overlooked, watch out though muskets and rifles are hampered by the ungodly long reload time.

armors: though western armor is offers superior protection, it is often heavy and slows down the wearer. On the bright side small things like kuni, and throwing stars, are utterly useless against it even if you hit the joint or other weak point
(Here's the graph)

good luck getting them all these things are considered rare items.
