Shadow, you know that this is probably the most active LotGD site out there. So telling people who want to possibly RP different things to leave this site is not really a viable option. But I believe that a little bit of different stuff should be allowed here, because it can add a lot to the game. The only people preventing stuff like that from happening is people like you who want to prevent other people from expanding their imagination. Hell, I ran into someone who was using Ki from DBZ. You know what I did? I encouraged him to keep rocking on because it was fun for him. And Madara, you know you basically just described someone who uses Rinnegan? If they use one body, they can just use the Ausra path to basically become Iron Man and use Preta path to absorb all chakra. But if you suddenly make a suit that does the same thing (let's say for someone who's been playing for a long time and has maxed out resets just for semantics), you're evil and voided for doing a bad thing. So like I said, pretty much everything that can be done through 'technology' can already be done through various jutsu anyway.
And Kage, I'm worried about what you said. Basically saying that we have to tread carefully about what we do and that we can't do specific things until Kishimoto shows us it's possible is a bit stupid. And you kind of made it sound that once (for example) power frames are canon, your village will be the one to 'claim' the ability to make them and anyone else should be voided. That's probably one of the big problems around here, is the whole claiming thing.
Let me expand upon certain points in my post.
We'd probably have to see what is now confirmed for being new canon technology. Cellphones and computers with networking have been a given. And for custom stuff, we would have to tread pretty carefully.
One of the things that I've been wanting to implement for some of the ninja in my village is power frames. Something exhibited as a fun color spread from Kishimoto. Three advantages that would be exhibited from this is increased strength (though nothing as strong as Sage Mode), carrying of additional weapons and tools, and more defense provided by the plating on the armor itself. It doesn't seem that far-fetched, since my village pumps out metal like nothing.

The first high-lighted point addresses custom technology stuff. Though really, this should be said for custom stuff in general. We should tread carefully with a yellow light about what custom things we make, either it be jutsu or technology. Sure taking some canon things and combining, enhancing or altering it into something customized is a lot easier to swallow. But something totally new and unknown can be hard to take sometimes.
The second highlight is there because I'm simply saying that I've been wanting to, but I would rather take some input from the community first on whether or not it would be plausible or acceptable.
The third highlight is emphasizing that it was a simple fun color spread that Kishi illustrates sometimes. Like the wizard-ninja color spread and the samurai-ninja color spread that was also done. I'm just saying that it was inspired from that. Though that doesn't mean that it's canon material, which I already knew.
But really, this is all about what the community is willing to accept in terms of custom stuff. Because something could sound cool and really acceptable in your own head, but by the time you try to execute it, people could have varying opinions. This is why I encourage discussion with others on things you work on yourself. Essentially, you can bling yourself out all you want, but if no one is going to find your bling something acceptable/valuable, then you're just in your own world of value. And the point of RPing is to do it with others. But otherwise, you're just writing your own head-canon/fanfiction.
It's not like I'm trying to implement blinged-out Ame Ninjabots wielding AK-47s. That would be something totally unacceptable. (See below)
Though to help justify my cause for Power Frames, I do have the authority, resources, man-power and capital in order to create and produce them. But like I said, some input from the community would be nice.
