I apologize for the abnormally long wait for feedback on your application. Everything you have so far looks good to me, but you're definitely in need of some expansion in a few areas before this is really good to go. Cutie Mark: Your choice of cutie mark is perfectly fine; however, this section should also describe the events that resulted in your character earning his cutie mark, as well as giving at least a hint as to what his cutie mark says about his talents or personality. Unique Traits: Again, what you've got is good, but I think there's some untapped potential to be brought out. For instance, you mention that he has a katana and multiple knives. Are any of them particularly special to him? Does he know any special combat tricks with them? Is there any particular fighting style he favors over any other? History: Your history could definitely use some more detail to it as well. Was he born and raised in a particular city, or somewhere outside of one? Did he have a formal education, or was he entirely home-taught? Did he have a particular rival or best friend that helped shape him? Being raised a criminal, did he or his parents ever get in trouble with the law? If so, how did that affect his life? Personality: His personality could also use a little more detail. Specifically, he doesn't appear to have any significant flaws. What sorts of things anger him? Please him? What might throw him off or make him act out of character? Is he scared of anything? Asking yourself these kinds of questions (and then answering them, of course) should give you plenty of space to flesh out your character. I can't wait to see what you can come up with!
