Ms. Demonja, may I please ask you to use standard English spellings --
in particular, spelling "and" with a "d"? It's sort of hard to
read your messages.
> Is a fieldless badge argent tincturless?
I'm afraid that that sentence makes no sense. Is there an "or" missing
between "argent" and "tinctureless", maybe?
A fieldless badge (in the SCA, only badges can be fieldless) is
a set of charges on an undefined background. For example, I
registered
(Fieldless) A mascle gules.
When I draw it on my goblet or box or CDs or whatever, I can draw it
on a silver background, a gold background, an ermine background ... or
green or purple or black or even red, though it would be hard to see
then.
Note that I distinguish "registered" and "draw". I registered it with
an undefined background. When I use it, I have to put it on
*something*, so I can choose whatever I like.
Argent, a mascle gules.
would be a different badge. (1 CD away, but that makes it different.)
In that case, I would have to put the mascle on a white or silver
background only.
As Tec mentioned, you can't do tinctureless.
