Update 1 Going to go for a futuristic, militarized version of Yoshimitsu. Think Metal Gear but not neccesarily from that universe and a more cobbled together, self-made set of armour. Also he's going to be an alien poacher sort of like the aliens in the Predator series, with alien parts influencing and decorating his armor. So basically think of a hi-tech alien Ranger Yoshimitsu.
As far as I can see there's only one Yoshimitsu entry so far, luckily a very different interpretation. I know it's going to be a popular choice though
To anyone else doing him, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you've got
Update 2
First draft of concepts still only really thought about parts of the armour lots more to be developed. I essentially ditched the MGS style armour idea, he's going to be a scrapper/alien poacher with the suit pieced together from bits he's picked up + tweaked.
The shells/exoskeleton of the giant insect like aliens are incredibly hard so he uses them and replaces/ patches broken parts of his hi tech armour using them.
Story I'm playing with:
The planet is like a desert wasteland/prison where in the future, exceptionally dangerous criminals are brought and monitored by the military. Yoshimitsu impersonated a prisoner to escape the crime lord on Earth that he stole two incredibly powerful swords from during the 2211 'King of Iron Fist tournament'. Leaving his old armour behind, he sneaked the swords on board the transport ship and once at the planet, broke out using them. He then hijacked an army convoy and stole several pieces of extremely hi tech equipment, including a state of the art kevlar-style suit and a gas mask, needed to survive in the gaseous atmosphere, ouside of the prison complex, only normally survivable by the creatures inhabiting the planet. MORE TO COME
