I might sometime, (rapier is bae). I do sport fencing with my school. I specialize in epee although I'm half decent in all three weapons. (I know what your thinking and it really DOES teach you how to swordfight, at least epee does).
DO you prefer cutting style or thrusting style?

I guess I'll just go for it,
Captain Alan Stewart, Pilot of the Galleon class Iron Hurricane, 22nd squadron, Barony Air Navy
Elaborate backstory you may or may not give a crap about:
Alan is notably young for a captain, barely 24, and fresh out of the academy where he graduated in the top 10 of his class. Although it is very rare for the sons of commoners (he's a blacksmith's son) to receive a position there, Alan did so by the recommendation of a Baron for merits in battle as an enlisted engineer. At the age of 18 he was drafted to help man a mission against an organized piracy fleet. During the battle, the ship he was stationed on was ambushed and quickly disabled, in the chaos the pilot was injured, order was lost, and a boarding attack ensued. Alan overcame his first attacker, and after confiscating a sword, eliminated the entire boarding party one by one. With this critical breather, the first mate was able to take command and direct the ship to save the nearby Baron's flagship from a similar dilemma. The same Baron would later recommend Alan to the academy. Soon after graduating he was granted command of the Iron Hurricane and is currently serving as an active Captain in the Barony military.
Personal traits:
An excellent leader, known to be very effective at rallying any crew to perform as a tightly coordinated unit greater than the sum of the parts.
Rather taciturn and reserved, except when in command, when he reverses into a loud, boisterous commander.
Proficient at hand to hand combat, probably developed from a combination of school fight (he wasn't ever the biggest kid on the block) and personal curiosity.
Exemplary swordsman, possibly developed from being around swords often as his father was a well established bladesmith. The champion fencer of his officer class, his technical proficiency increased substantially during his academy years, especially footwork and point control. He often stops an oncoming attack with a calm stab to the opponents wrist.
Not a horrible shot with personal firearms but nothing that compares to some of the crack shots in the airship field.
His personality is best described as very military. He is loyal, organized, prudent, analytical, and trusting.
Has been rumored to have fun every now and then, but eyewitnesses are scarce.
Appearance:
Altogether medium build with a stern clean shaven face. Most often seen in the standard Barony Air Navy uniform, navy blue double breasted officer suit with white trim, matching bicorn, black knee high boots mirror shined, sometimes with a long grey trench coat in cold or windy weather.
Ok, was that obnoxiously detailed enough? Yeah I'd like him to be a good guy, of course I would, but if you make him a villain I won't complain, it's not my story. He might make a good neutral or supporting character.
It seems lots of characters have excellent sword abilities, maybe some opportunity there for a rivalry, maybe some friendly competition. I fence in real life so I'd be happy to answer swordfighting questions.
I'd draw a pic but that would take a while, maybe I'll add one later.

omg how can I pick, there's Ori and the Blind Forest, Undertale, not to mention robot unicorn heavy metal. Oh, and To the Moon, man, that game was something else entirely. But I think I'm gonna have to make an objective call and give this one to Undertale on the basis of musical craftsmanship. Seeing as how it's ingeniously constructed melodies resonated so well with audiences even among games like the one I mentioned, all while using the old fashioned 8 bit style.
