A false belief with false promises.

Indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, do not cling to your petty promises of purity and honour, for they do not exist.

This is a belief that human beings shouldn't drink, do drugs or have casual sex. These three things will always exist; you're fighting a losing battle, Straight Edges.

Twist your edge.
The Straight Edge didn't have any fun, he was too cool for it. He was too cool to go out for a drink with his friends, too cool to know what if you're not a complete dick you can enjoy drugs and alchohol without any EXTREMELY derogatory backlash.
Get the Straight Edge mug.
An overrused, overrated form of sword.

Sure, they're pretty, and sure, they can work, but they're not the best. Anime and pop-culture are only using them for the former; because Anime is japanese, so are katanas, that's justified, but the runoff of Anime is spilling into pop-culture leading people to believe that the katana is the best form of sword in the known universe. This is why I hate fads.

Opinions aside, the Katana is a gently curved blade, single-edged, which lacks a large crossguard, but does have some form of guard between the hilt and blade. It, like the european bastard sword, may be used in one OR two hands, and it was traditionally used by the Samurai.

Please, before you create a character for Role Playing, or buy a sword, consider your options, and open your mind to other swords.
"The Samurai had a katana."

"I'm not fond of katanas, I prefer a nice, simple longsword."
