I'm going to have to be grappling with this concept a bit with the alt character I have made (and will be switching to DRK Au Ra once expansion hits, for purely aesthetic reasons). I've mentioned him here and there before, I believe: he's basically a FFTA Judge, serving as the law to deal with disputes and oversee duels and the like.
The idea is that he's ancient. ANCIENT. Like, 50s to even 70s ancient, and having spent almost all of it around combat in some form. Which means that I could always use his age as a crutch to offset his combat capability, but he should also be quite the old hand at it should it come to blows. He should still have quite a bit of presence and air of threat about him should someone seek to draw steel against him.
Then again, I also plan to have him be able to "Red Card" people and possibly provide bizarre rules to the combat he oversees. So that might destroy his credibility some... unless I can actually get away with him somehow freezing the offending player in place as if they were Petrified or Frozen when using the Red Card. Double points if it even defies gravity.
