How would such a class/specialisation fit in the overall narrative of the game?

Like it does in most games that are not Oriental in setting. THey are reclusive warrior monks or strangers from a new land, or any other number of reasons that are easily swallowed if you are not just against the idea in the first place.

What was that book I read when I was a kid, the Belgariad? It wasn't an eastern oriental setting at all, a sect of talented theives and maybe assassins had an unarmed combat style. It was perfectly fine if you had the imagination to agree that someone other than the Chinse and Japanese could figure out how to do a side kick and punch someone.

Really though, this is not Europe, as much as Bioware made the mistake of making it too much like Europe. Anything can happen, anything can exist, this setting is not bound by England, France and Italy. Anything can exist and anything can happen.

Did you know that ninjas were originally farmers who rebelled against Samurai who held their status over them. And since they were farmers without official training or specialized equipment, they developed a style to avoid honorable combat whenever possible. To a ninja, cheating was simply a clever way of winning. Blind the opponent, cripple them, poison them, and kill them them from behind, while they're down, and it wasn't fair at all.

As far as i know, Ninja originated from Chinese, hired assassins for Chinese generals, adopted by Japanese. But of course there are a lot of origin and myth regarding Asian martial art, some contradict the others.

The word Assassin itself from Arabic Hashishin, the NIZARIS hehehe

Nizari is a group/sect of assassins who love to smoke hashish, because of that they are also known as Hashishin, they are active killing Crusader generals in the Crusade. They are also playing important role in Middle eastern politic. it is said that Saladin almost got killed by Nizaris, but they let him live because the Arab have no leader to face the Crusaders. Western army fear the Nizari/Hashishin and so the word become popular...become Assassin in English. Nizari/Hashishin get "drunk" by smoking hashish and get into a state of no regret and no fear before going to assasinate the target. Mythically they are also study some magic and mysticism...some consider they are heretic

Well, if going to find origin of martial arts, there will be many, some martial arts are simply copying the other but creating own origin as if it is original. Some martial art grandmaster lies to their student.

I'd be fine with unarmed as long as it was less jade empire style martial arts and more street brawly ( less dragon kicks and more right hooks). Perhaps you could equip gloves so the fighting style was comparable to using weapons.

Yup, that is why i suggest kick boxing as base style. Kick Boxing is westernized version of Muay Thai, and have more boxing element in it. So i think it is suitable for fast paced combat of DA2/DA3
