I can really get into this. I have an idea for a melee/martial-arts/thrown-weapons specializing assassin type of character who really wants to be peaceful and tries to use diplomacy when possible. Does that sound like it would fit well here?

That can fit to a degree. M.A/I.Ds are occasionally given room to solve problems in ways that they see fit. Diplomacy would be a valuable asset and I could see your concept being a leader type character.

The melee/thrown-weapon/martial-arts idea is very cool and can totally be a key part of your character, but I tend to run combat in a more fatalistic and realistic manner. What I mean by this is that your character must still adhere to logic in a combat situation. If an opponent is armed with a firearm and they are more than 20ft away they will be able to shoot your character, so you have the be clever with how you engage. 

All in all, I really look forward to seeing what you come up with.
