[ANSTHRLD] Maintaining vs. Sustaining: New Question

[Bob Wade]

In addition to what Magnus said about conjoining charges on a fieldless badge, it's also worthwhile to keep in mind one of the implications of "fieldless".
 
Ordinaries (Fess, Chevron, Cross, Bend, Bend Sinister and Pale) and subordinaries (Bordure, Orle, Tressure, Chief, Pile, Base and Point) are partially defined by the shape of the field.  If there is no field, then their shape can't be defined.  As a reult, you can't have an ordinary or subordinary on a fieldless badge.

In the case of the Conflict check I just asked about (you will have to forgive my ignorant question, I am having a blast at this, but and still relitively new at it) ...
 
question 1: would it be inapropriate to have a bear sustaining a violet?
 
question 2: can you have a border, an orle, or a tressure on a fieldless device?
