Excuse me for a m moment while I freak out that @Mazrick showed up. His A Man's Dream Never Dies inspired me to start this did and he might be my favorite gm on this site.
Fighting Style(The style you pick will have an impact on the character.):
[] Charging Oni Style
The Charging Ogre is the nightmare of the defender, an unstoppable unyielding force using only the most violent and unsubtle weapons. Always leading the charge and as inspiring as it is terrifying, the Ogre is a fearless engine of destruction in combat.
The Charging Oni avoids the spear and the sword as too flimsy and the pistol or rifle as too small. Clubs, maces, hammers and poleaxes, 2 bore guns and explosives are true weapons of war.
Strength and durability
Alright, here's my plan, with my approved fighting style write-in. To make it short: we're a wrecking ball, if wrecking balls liked to charge laughing into enemy lines with a big fucking stick and the biggest gun ever made to be shot by the shoulder. Driven would fuel our Haki, wrathful and fearless are basically a given seeing how we fight, while gluttonous and boisterous will lead to lots of drinking and bragging, hopefully.
Edit: here's an image to get a better idea of the size of our gun; ours wouldn't be rifled, though.
Personality traits and flaws ( Do this as a spoilered plan including both traits and flaws)

Fighting Style(The style you pick will have an impact on the character.):
Violent Bodhisattva Style
The Violent Bodhisattva is a master of the Art of Cutting. He wields a sword five and a half kret long (6 handspans) with a straight blade. If he must, he may also wield a saber with equal skill, though it is a poor tool with which to practice the Art of Cutting. He does not use the spear, stave or club as they are peasant's weapons.
The Violent Bodhisattva fights with singular focus. He lives and breaths the act of cutting. He does not think extraneous thoughts during battle, for a man who strikes without thought of his actions can cut God.
-The Violent Bodhisattva is well practiced in the art of cutting, and can do so even when holding no weapon. His mastery of this art is singular and without peer. If you wish to excel at turning men into ghosts, this is the style to choose.

Character Creation 3
Besides being a skilled fighter and captain, you are also a passable (pick two)
[] a cook
[]navigator
[]helmsman
[]medic
[]carpenter
[]jack of all trades
[]musician
[]historian
Event – What are you famous for? (Choose one)
[] Stealing something from Germa 66
[] Beating a Yonko commander in personal combat
[] Helping the Revolutionaries in a battle which changed the course of a war
[] Overthrowing a corrupt regime
[] Destroying a marine base
Techniques – What are your signature moves (Choose two)
[] The Every Blade – A master cuts, and unleashes not just one strike but every strike. Using this technique allows you to unleash a veritable storm of steel, as your cut strikes along every possible angle of attack.
[] The Long Blade – A master cuts, and his blade stretches to the horizon. This technique allows you to perform cuts at range, greatly increasing the effective reach of your sword
[] The Sharp Blade – A master cuts, and nothing stops his blade. Armor is rent, shields splinter and swords shatter when they try to block this blow. This technique allows you to strike with force far beyond the norm.
[] The Not Blade – A master cuts, and he needs no blade to do so. Masters of this skill can split the skull of a man using a single blade of grass, or chop down trees with only their fingers.
[] The Revenge Blade – A master falls, and his blood bursts hot from his body to mutilate the survivors. This technique turns even your wounds into a means for you to inflict violence. When you bleed ,the blood springs from you wounds and cuts down those who struck you.
[] The Swift Blade – A master cuts, and his foes do not see the blade. This technique, often begun with the blade sheathed, allows you to striker faster than the eye can see.
[] The Intercepting Blade – A master cuts, he does not block. Blocking cedes the foe the initiative. Instead masters of the art of cutting split their foe's attacks in twain. This technique allows you to cut an enemy's techniques with the same artistry used to part their flesh.
Also a note on Omakes
I am accepting Omakes for this quest. If you write an Omake Bonus XP will be awarded to the main character of that omake based on how much I like it. This XP will generally be awarded to a skill relevant to that omake, but if there is no clear one I will discuss with the writer how the XP is to be awarded. Omakes can become canon if they do not conflict with planned events/characterization or if I like them enough. This note will also be posted on the front page for reference.

I really like the idea of being a 'swordsman' who doesn't need a sword at all

I really think we should take the not blade choice since the main weakness of blade users is getting seperated from their blades. Besides nothing says blade mastery like being so good you don't even need a blade anymore.

I think this combos pretty well with the strength bonus we have. Cut down the serious opponents before they can do anything about it, and mooks aren't really our issue since we have conqueror.
