How would you do it? What's appropriate in this situation?
I suppose it all depends on the situation and the scene. If by "needed to fight unarmed" you mean, for example, his weapon got knocked away from him ICly, then you can have him hide his weapon visually and RP out his actions.
Given too that if your character is a martial artist and a mage, it isn't too far of a stretch to go that he could be adept with staves, sort of like martial arts with a BÅ. If your character for some reason is attacked (perhaps through something like an IC FATE) and Monk is your stronger job--I dunno. I can't really think of a circumstance where I'd have a character ICly 'job change' on the scene. ESPECIALLY if it meant that I would need to change gear. The only time I would do that would likely be to change from a DD to a crafting job; but for his equipment, it would only be clothes that could reasonably fit under his armor (I like the vests for this purpose).
Jumping in and out from one AF to another is going to get you some questionable glances.
Blade, for example, has a couple jobs. He's a Warrior first and foremost, and he's an 'alright' Gladiator (but not a Paladin). Anyways, that all being said, I can't really find myself trying to RP both in a given scene. That's a lot of gear to be carrying on his back, and I prefer to RP a character that doesn't require a lengthy description when he comes on scene *In addition to his Axe, fellow roleplayer can also see that he has a bow and quiver, a shield, a dagger, a sword...* ... I prefer a more 'what you see is what you get' approach.
