[@Crimson Raven] Dark realism is applicable for the setting, but not cartoonishly gritty. Also, player characters should not have directly supernatural abilities or weapons.

Cartooishly gritty? Explain, please. 

The last part is fair, and expected. Can I counter that he has less then a few months worth of experience with said power, allowing him to grow with it over the course of the RP? It was mainly intended as a way to get around his blindness. (Reason for it is, again, bound up in his story)

Edit: I appreciate you hearing me out. Thank you for that.

He was a fighter and survivalist first, then came the blindness. And it still impedes him in several ways. He can’t read. He can’t see color, he can’t “see” past a relativly short distance. (Like if a gunman was pointing at him, or a bow was fired, or even a rock thrown.

The reason for the sword is connected with his ability.

Edit 2: I could have done a better job of explaining his limits
