I have this concept bouncing around my head that involves a salty sailor wielding a large anchor or an anchor and chain. Is there a way of bringing this character to life in this system?
Edit: Just had an epiphany, I want to play Nautilus (from League of Legends) as a pathfinder character if that helps at all.
He needs to carry around cans of spinach that act as Bulls strength potions.
improvised weapon for an anchor.

How about a Dwarven Character with the Saltbeard alternate racial trait who wield a Dwarven Dorn-Dergar with the iron ball at the end reflavored as an anchor?
Instead of the kusari-gama, I found the meteor hammer. Does anybody know of an easy way to get proficiency?
If I go the improvised weapon route (ideally through the rough and ready trait), what would the weapon stats look like?
Reflavoring an item might be the best bet since I can get fancy things like reach on it.
Keep the ideas coming! Thanks for the ideas all.

Actually - I'm going to have to go with Ventnor's idea of the Dwarven Dorn-Dergar. Plus, unlike either the kusari-gama or meteor hammer, it's well written and won't have table variation issues.

Rough and Ready seems well-suited to using an anchor as a weapon. Just take a rank of Profession(sailor).
Here you go. I use rough and ready and barroom brawler for my traits but the last one is a campaign trait for skull and shackles so you may not be able to use it. I've used him with 2 GMs and both used great club stats for the anchor.
I built as an eldritch guardian fighter too which doesn't have the damage out put at low levels but I like having a parrot familiar and UMD will let you use scrolls to eventually make your anchor masterwork and get it enchanted.
Sweet, these are all good ideas for the anchor!
Does anybody have any inspiration on the armor? If I'm going for a Nautilus/Big Daddy look, that screams heavy armor to me. A Dwarf would shine here...
Sorry, I'm not familiar with Nautilus/Big Daddy. I just picked armor that I could afford and wouldn't slow me down (or give too much penalty to swim checks).
The telekineticist can use the anchor as his object for kinetic blade. And later, chain and anchor would make a fun kinetic whip.
