Well,
Mx.Trinity
if you don't mind me pulling a character sheet "template" out of my ass (and with little knowledge on the setting aside from 'ye olde japan n samurai n stuff', here's a preliminary concept for my character for posterity:
No idea what the perfect kind of foil to him would be, but probably someone who's more hoighty toighty, but can still deal with his bullshit? Maybe an impoverished young noble who needs protection and doesn't care from who? I'd be up for anything.

if you don't mind me pulling a character sheet "template" out of my ass (and with little knowledge on the setting aside from 'ye olde japan n samurai n stuff', here's a preliminary concept for my character for posterity:The man known as Oda Sakomoto comes from a long line of loyal samurai, indebted to the Shogun (insert name here), strongest Shogun in all of (japan?). With a family history of exemplary service as leader of men and more recently as battlefield elites, Oda Sakomoto completely destroyed the trend by growing up to be a self-righteous brute who entirely relies on pure strength, mind games, and under-handed tactics to win his battles. An abrasive nature and almost entirely unsympathetic world-view belies a very well hidden desire to enact his own sense of justice, making him a pain to be around if you don't meet very particular standards. He isn't entirely without merit, and can be surprisingly insightful and pleasant in stranger circumstances.
He stands quite tall, and is generally the most imposing figure in a room, with a wide frame that befits his occasional nickname as "Sakomoto the Oni", bringing to mind some kind of horned mountain demon. Further cementing his association is his equally imposing ō-yoroi, or the great masked armor that has been in his family for generations. Featuring three wiry stag horns, with two smaller on the left side and a larger one dominating the right half of the helmet, it really brings to mind a grizzled old yokai that has seen a hundred battles.
He's gained another moniker, "Sakomoto the Honorless', for the deed that originally turned him into a wandering ronin, and that cemented his status as an eternal fugitive; the murder of his own father during a routine assignment involving a clan of bandits. What was originally a simple scouting mission turned violent, as a squad of criminals surrounded the duo and after a heated battle, the grizzled old veteran and the least favored child began arguing over who ruined the operation first. An impromptu duel followed as the old man threw the first punch, and Sakomoto the Oni only managed to calm down when he realized his own father was sliced into a hundred pieces.
For six years, he's been on the run from his punishment, and seeks to correct his sins, one worthy deed at a time.
In battle, Sakomoto the Oni focuses on the usage of great swords and regular swords as sidearms. His primary weapon is his favored nodachi, the heirloom "Stone Cutting Sword", which has also been in his family for generations. As implied, it gained its semi-legendary status due to allegedly cutting a large stone in half during a duel many years ago. Aside from that, he just loots the blades of the people he's recently slaughtered and swings them with wild abandon when the overly sized blade would be too much, often breaking them. The Stone-Cutting Sword is noted across the land for its great beauty and impeccable quality, and is perhaps half the reason why so many people want Sakomoto dead. The thought of such an honored sword in the hands of an honorless savage is unbearable to many of wealth and taste.

I'll play Junjii before Hatsu, but Hatsu if there aren't enough females to balance out the rp.
