Any ideas for a new player?

I just finished going over the rules, I mean, I am not that creative at these kind of things such as making a character, but I guess I should start with what kind of weapon, anyone know a cool weapon type?

Personally, I went with rapier. But, in the tutorials there's a section on sword arts, and how each weapon's sword arts are designed differently. For example, my rapier's sword arts focus on damage, and don't have as many Stun or AoE options as someone with a One Handed Longsword, which is has balanced options, but a lowed max damage threshold. It's really all about what style you enjoy. =) 

When it comes to characters, try taking bits and pieces of other well known characters from fiction, and blending them into a character all your own. For example, my character Teselmar, he looks like Shizuo Heiwajima from Durarara, but doesn't act like him. He was an ex cop like Leon Kennedy from Resident Evil, and craves danger and excitement like a lot of thrill-seeking characters, such as Kenpachi from Bleach. He's a mashup of a lot of different influences.

Good luck!
