This guy is pretty bad.  No real strengths to speak of except for
exceptional damage taking. A lot of weaknesses: no ability to parry,
to endurance, no decisiveness.

I'd make him a 16-21-15-9-5-9-9 TP, send him out in APA/F with two
LG's, and see how long it takes Shewish Giant to kill him.  Not much
use, otherwise.

I'd go 11-13-15-13-17-6-9 LU.  Extremely generic, but it should win
just because it's a lunger.  Prey on those fancy-pants ripper, plungers,
pikers, and aimed blows until about challenger adepts, then consider
DA'ing this guy (unless he's very, very lucky).

Run him ALE/L going 10-10-6-AB-LE-Lunge with a SS and watch the fur
fly.  You might also try the same numbers with a TP, or even
7-13-15-13-21-6-9 TP.  Not very interesting, but it would probably win
more.  Blech.

A 7-13-15-13-21-6-9 LU could work, if you got your challenges through.
Bloodfeuds usually go through ever time. . .

>I still have almost no clue to how to match rolls to styles.

It will come with time.  Most roll-ups can be several styles fairly
well, it just depends on what you want to run, the styles in your
arena, and how you feel that day.

That would certainly do the trick, and could catapult you into a war with
that team that will never end.  They're pretty fun, unless the other team
is older, run by a mega-manager, and has several really good warriors who
can kill your lunger.

Your lunger has about a 95% chance of beating that Aimed Blow, about a
50% chance of killing him.  The question you have to ask yourself is:
can anyone on his team kill my lunger?  If the answer is yes, then build
that 21 WL LU, and send it after that AB for 3 turns in a row.  If you'rre
lucky, you'll kill the Ab.  You'll certainly win one of those fights.  And
if they kill that character, who realy cares anyway, right?
