Need help for a feet in water character for an up and coming game.

Hrm. Research scientists and/or support staff?
Ecotour/Adventure-Tour (photographing penguins is on some folks' bucket-lists) that gets stranded?
Not many explanations will take folks to Antarctica! As a GM, I'd want to see Skill or Stunt that's relevant.
One possibly-interesting thought: watching scientists move around in videos, it looks like some of that coldweather gear may encumber very-similarly to how oldschool Samurai armor does. Very-traditional kenjutsu schools may well include this sort of training.
Taran:
Also, having high scholarship fits with both the scientist aspect and the well-read warrior aspect of the character.
Sanctaphrax:
I feel like there's a lot of different directions you can go with "trying to live the way Musashi taught". What do you have in mind beyond the obvious philosophy and swordsmanship aspects?
That aside, one practical note: Antarctica seems likely to test your Endurance and your Survival.

They are way to reliant on stringent criterias that will be extremely difficult to make as something I can consistently fall back on. Would like to look into much better, reliable options. I am open to suggestions.

You might prefer this Power to Bless This House.
The wiki also has a modified form of Holy Touch, but I doubt you'd like it.
Ghostfreak:
Sorry for the late reply, got knocked down by the flu but I am better now. Honestly I am not sure where else I can go with the character because an area like Antarctica kinda limits what kind of jobs I can do. You know, since it is an icy, frozen desert. From my own research I've found out that the major jobs out there is for research purposes, shipping and one or two other things.
I am open to suggestions. Perhaps a newbie scientist on the job, unaware of the supernatural who takes musashi's teachings to heart and very seriously.
Taran:
Why not the arctic? There’s more going on there but you have similar sort of isolation and cold. There are indigenous people who live there. Antarctic would be fine for a single story arch. I’m not sure about a whole campaign.
