 Regarding your restriction of not having more than five skills. This is stated in the materia section. Does this imply that you will only allow five pieces of materia (including/excluding support materia)? Or does this imply five separate skills outside of materia? Or does this imply five skills acquired by leveled materia i.e. if I have Bio and Transform fully leveled that is it?

[color=yellow][b]5 materia slots. How you fill those slots is up to you, but you only get 5. What I check for is to see if you picked materia associated with the summon you chose. Some summons do not have a lot, but you do not have to max out the slots.[/b][/color]

 Second, regarding your weapon profile. You stated we would only have one weapon, is this one primary weapon or one weapon specifically? Would you allow a secondary weapon such as a dagger or combat knife? As you stated SOLDIERs are trained in the martial arts, would this count as a secondary weapon as well?

[color=yellow][b]One weapon. Dual weapons are also considered one weapon. Utility weapons such as a knife, which can be used to cut things like rope, meat, for cooking or crafting I will allow as an "item," but it won't be considered a weapon. But no, one weapon. This is your character's primary weapon. This is a Final Fantasy 7 game not Call of Duty. Majority of the characters fought with one weapon. If you want to have a character that uses more than one weapon, then make him a basic Shinra troop. They are the closest thing to a realistic non-fantasy soldier.

When your characrer is unarmed, he can still defend himself using martial arts but his martial arts would not be better than the SOLDIER who specializes in hand-to-hand combat (that SOLDIER's prinary weapon).[/b][/color]

Elaboration would be appreciated.
