Appearance:

Loyal
Even though he was a vagabond, Miyamoto Musashi still took the code of Bushido to heart when it came to his employer. Although most of the time this is done for selfish reasons.
Lazy as hell
Despite being known as the greatest samurai of all times, it is known that Miyamoto Musashi was the laziest bastard out there, with him always coming late to the duels that he made the challenges out to, and living as a hermit as an old man really didn't help with his laziness, although he finished his book.
Philosophical

Rude
Any signs of him being polite is not visible to his current persona. He has almost respect for anything, and is pretty much one of the rudest people you will ever meet. His table manner is also lacking, as he has the tendencies to catch flies circling the table with his chopsticks.

Twin Wooden Swords, made from a as of yet unknown possess of tempering wood, to be stronger than any steel, or anything we have yet to see.

Twin Katana: which are more for show than fighting, he also uses them to carve most of his weapons.

Skills:
Walk Many Paths
Over the course of his life, Musashi was most well-known as a swordsman, but was also a skilled painter, carpenter, and author. In the Book of Five Rings, he stresses that a true follower of the Way should master many different art forms, and not just with the sword. This ability allows Musashi to perform well with any kind of art form, craft, or occupation with an A rank, even if he has never performed or seen it done before. However, this ability does not allow him to replicate the class abilities of other Servants.
Magic Resistance Rank EX
Miyamoto has a fairly high resistance to spells and other works of magic. His disdain for magical things and refusal to use them has increased the potency of this ability.
Expert of Many Specializations: A++
Access to and use of many expert skills.
A total of 10 different skills ranging from tactics, academia, espionage, assassination, swindling, rhetoric and others can be used with proficiency of Rank C or above. Miyamoto Musashi was famous for being a swordsman, an artist, and many other things, due to his application of his beliefs written out in the Book of Five Rings on activities and skills outside of swordsmanship. These ten skills includes: calligraphy, art, poetry, literature, carpentry, guerrilla, intimidation, lecture, farming, religion.
Heart of Harmony: EX
Prevents decrease in the effectiveness of a technique, regardless how many times it is used against the same opponent.
Musashi is regarded as the greatest swordsman all of Japan has ever known, in part due to his belief that one should not be confined to one style. In creating his style, he ultimately broke down many styles and created his own hybrid style from what he felt was the best. As such, his style does not actually follow its own forms, as the Niten Ichi-ryuu deserted forms outside of the basic for the sake of winning battles through "the spirit of victory". At this rank, all his attacks are nearly impossible to perceive.
Strategy: Unlike most Servants, Musashi doesn't have any offensive or defensive Noble Phantasms. Instead, he tends to overwhelm his opponent with his incredible skill, strength, and speed. He presses the attack and never gives his the opponent to get enough of an opening to activate one. His ability to pick up rather mundane objects and transform them into deadly weapons has aided him in defeating opponents who attacked him from surprise, thinking him disarmed. His Despite his high parameters though, he cannot defend fully against an attack of overwhelming power such as Arturia's Excalibur or Gilgamesh's Enuma Elish, but he can always move out of the way of that, or avoid it.
Anti-Magic EX
- Musashi;s hate from magic, and ignorance of it is so strong, it is useless to try magic on him.
Noble Phantasm(s):
-
Weapon Improvisation Rank EX
Able to make Weapons on the Spot from whatever he can find...
-
Nin Ichi Ryu: The True Way Rank A++
Musashi learned his famous style through practical use. He was always engaging in duels wherever he could, and perfecting his style. Through his incredible dedication, Musashi achieved the pinnacle of what a human could achieve. The warrior had no use for supernatural techniques or martial arts, as such things misguided one from the Way. Even when an opponent outclassed him in a way, with speed, strength, or endurance, he would only rely on his skills and what he could naturally achieve on his own.
His devotion to mastering his natural abilities allows Musashi to treat all his Noble Phantasms and Sub-Phantasms as natural phenomenon instead of magical. All of the incredible feats that he is able to do are a result of his lifelong devotion to the Way, and pushing his body to its utmost potential. As such, the ronin is not affected by any ability that would weaken him, physically or mentally. He cannot be slowed, stopped, rendered dumb, have his parameters reduced, etc.. His hatred of magecraft and mages in general also manifests in this Noble Phantasm, allowing him to pierce through non-physical supernatural defenses like a hot knife through butter.

Tenken: The Blinding Sword of Heaven Rank B
Musashi's physical abilities where as such that he eventually mastered the infamous shukichi, which are various techniques used to eventually cause a person to be able to travel across an incredible distant in an instant. By training in its use, Musashi managed to achieve what normal people could only call teleportation. The truth of the matter is that the ronin is able to move so fast that the human eye simply can't keep up with the speed at which he is moving. Even other Servants have a difficult time keeping him in view when he uses this ability.
This Noble Phantasm gives Musashi incredible reaction speed, as well as allowing him to move very quickly overland, representing the training he underwent to be able to use such a thing. When he truly uses shukichi, he is able to appear invisible to those slower than him, not to mention being able to run across walls, roofs, and even water without slowing.

History: Greatest Swordsman in Japan's History, with a Record of 1 draw and 0 losses.
A colmanation of all the Miyamoto Musashi histories, brewed and steaped with a slice of Epic Legend, .... and yes the one who killed Sasaki Kojiro, with a oar on a beach.... with great pleasure... though he never intended to Kill him.... just beat him, to the point of.... no shadow of a doubt, "you were just beat with a wooden sword..." the only fight he used a single weapon with...
Musashi rarely used metal swords, he always used wood, and carved out the weapons he was going to kick people's asses with on the spot... always made two... making a Style that was practical, and very very effective.
Though somewhere in his history, he became very very Hateful of any kind of Cheep Trick or Supernatural force.... to the point, Magic... or well cheep tricks of Science doesn't work on him... which causes him to have unparalleled magic and supernatural Resistance.... to the point it is ineffective.
Through honing his body, and mind he became so powerful and physical adept, he could perform what most people thought impossible... but he rarely had to go that far to beat the living crap out of all the schools in japan... and improve himself so much that he became a hero.
Throughout his life, he did more than just fight with swords and beat people, he took interest in lost of other things.
HE always walked, and wandered, was known for being rude, unkempt and well just outright ANTI- Hero in his life, though he did care about somethings, and did write his book, he had regrets... and thus now he becomes available but only to those who wander...
Though it is not Recorded in Normal History, or known History, Musashi had a family, had kids and a wife, all of which he loved, however.... when you go around pissing everyone off and beating the living shit out of every school you come by... the family is the last thing you want people to know about... his family wasn't kept hidden like in a cave, more like, no one knew, and his family has held the true way of his style, and skills passing down and down... no one knows if any decedents exist to day... even so... they may not know it...
He died with this Secret, not even putting it in his books... however.... Cancer was not what killed him... after the last battle with Kojiro, he taught some look alike his style, and knowledge, because.... Who would want to play monk living in exile the rest of their life... he had a family...
He lived the rest of his live happily... he wrote his book, there were two books of the 5 rings made, his and the one the monk look alike wrote... and he did do art.
On the day of 'his' death, Musashi and his family got on a boat and left Japan, to where no one know.... this is the last Mystery... no one knows where he rests... or what happened after that... Perhaps he lived out his last days happily, or maybe... they were lost at sea
