I didn't put much thought into what I wanted to do in fact it was a really random thought, but I liked it and decided to go with it. My idea was some sort of part cyborg samurai. The concept was that he was an injured samurai that had been somehow sent to the future and repaired by having his body infused with robotics. Seems bizarre but I know that it would look good.
He would look like a traditional samurai except half his body is robotic, with pipes connecting to his body acting as some form of veins transferring blood or other bodily fluids around so that his body circulates properly, and of course he'd be equipped with a traditional samurai sword.
Here is the first moodboard I put together with some reference I felt to be relevant to this character design.
You can see a fair amount of samurai swords in the mood board which I feel are key to when you're going to design any type of samurai, there's a form of elegance to them which you can't just model out of imagination.
Towards the top right you can see the robes that a samurai wears and even though half his torso would be robotic I'd still like to keep a traditional look to him by wearing those robes. The rest of the images are all robotic/cyborg and these were just to be used as reference for the type of modelling I'd like to achieve even if it isn't the same design at all.
