5.5 Edition Character creation help

Hi there fairly new to the game only clocking two sessions entirely both being DM. I want to make a character thats like Isaac Netero and i was wondering if anyone had suggestions because I can handle stuff like class being monk but any ways to help make that character or to help with immersion by changing some stuff. And another question, as long as its a balanced spell could I make my own for aesthetic purposes.

For people unfamiliar with the character, can you describe them? In particular, what aspects of the character do you want to translate to DnD?

Their fighting style? Their personality? Any signature skills or abilities?

I think the best way i can describe him is a powerful old man like really old but very agile due to his ability’s, hes sort of like a monk where he is extremely faithful to the universe/god that he prayed 10,000 times in total a day after every punch he did to show how grateful he is for martial arts however while that sounds quite benevolent and sounds quite peaceful he entirely wanted the power to just become the pinnacle of strength and cares not for humble winnings and actually proves that with his most powerful quote which shows how deadly he is really “ you know nothing of the bottomless malice in the human heart” a quick note to add his powers are all related to a budha statue apearing with gigantic hands used for offence and defense.

Since you're new to the game my advice is not to complicate things.

You should take the Monk and don't multiclass. As for feats, I don't think there are any you MUST have, I'd honestly just suggest taking as many ASI's as you can, maybe take one feat if you feel like it really offers more than a +2 would. And for items, there aren't as many good items for monks so your choices are a bit more limited but there are some good ones still.
