The Italian Street Fencer!
[ Spoiler ] Also, if anyone has any suggestions, I am willing to try. I am going to do the Roman "Street Legionere" next, but after that I am drawing a blank. |

How about a Boxer? For centuries the manly art of fisticuffs was considered a gentleman's sport, with it's own code of conduct and a sufficiently idealistic chromed out toughman might see relying on his body, instead of weapons, in close combat as a point of honor.

Given the talk of the monofilament sword (surprised the whip hasn't come up yet) this needs to be said.
"Monofilament? Monofilament?? My shoelace is monofilament, you don't see me lopping off some fragger's head with it" (not Verbatim, I don't have my Street Sam Cat with me) |

I was thinking about an Ork gentleman boxer, circa 1920s, myself, with a handlebar mustache. Perhaps two obvious cyberlimbs... |

He even has a backstory! Born as a citizen under EVO rule, he was experimented upon as a child, with EVO treating him as a slave and injecting nasty genetic guk into his arms. When he was about ten, his mother managed to free him and herself through a series of bribes, company bureaucratic loopholes, and good old-fasioned lying. The two moved to England. There, the young boy was facinated by the ancient British Empire, and did his best to emulate it. Eventually, his arms got too messed up to continue working, and he attached cyberlimbs for pugilism. [ Spoiler ] Also, for good measure, the Street Spartan! [ Spoiler ] |

You do know that unarmed combat and knife fighting skills were highly integral to Western Martial arts through the 18th century? Boxing, wrestling, and savate? Also, the Templar were militant monastics...
I might have to come back and play with the Templar and Fencer concepts, just to satisfy my hyper-obsessive infatuation with that era of history... |

He has martial arts (Savate) and the blades skill with the specialization in Fencing Blades (A.K.A. the Rapier and long knives.) |

Y'know, to address the very first sentiment of the OP, I can't really think of a single "Street Sam" who, in PnP RP or fiction I have read, actually espoused the full tennets of Bushido. Heck, it'd be more accurate to call most of them "Street Ronin" if you're using the derogatory Japanese connotation rather than the literal translation of the word "Ronin".
