Meilin Hua

"Oh... I've missed the opening ceremony..." Meilin mumbled to herself under the loud noise of the fireworks exploding, having just arrived.
If it wasn't for her having missed her flight in the previous day, she would still be on time to at least try to know a little better the new students, after all she could maybe be a mentor to one of them.
As an intern teacher, this year would be very different for her. While technically she was still a student, it was expected for her to act like a role model to the other students.

As she walked towards the institute, she gave a quick glance at the students who were watching the building coming into view. For her, the whole thing about the institute and the invisibility was more to ward off curious eyes and to make a show to the new students than to defend it from rogue channelers.
Nevertheless, it surely had an impact over the students, as many of the ones who saw it for the first time often were speechless after seeing the institute. Although she had already seen it many times, it was undeniable that the institute was a beautiful and imposing building. The sharp towers that pierced the clouds, the big open fields designed to more practical classes, the huge, intimidating wooden doors that led inside the building...
"I never get tired of seeing it." she thought to herself, contemplating the building for a second.

"Oh, right, I should at least try to give a look at the new students!" she remembered.

Many new faces were present in the opening ceremony. It was rather amusing as young channelers from many different countries and cultures could be seen reunited, all of them with a single feeling: their desire to learn. On the Institute, they would learn together about themselves and each other in a place completely detached to the problems of the world. A pure place to learn and evolve both as a channeler and as a person. No politics, no racism, no wars... That was the feeling that made Meilin choose to stay at the institute and become a mentor. Lost in her own thoughts, Meilin close her eyes for a moment and simply stood still, feeling the gentle breeze kiss her face and blow her hair.

When she opened her eyes again, she saw a very familiar, old and wrinkled face. Daler Ghumman. He was a wise old man, he used to be an instructor but now is retired. Meilin liked to meditate with the old man, she had a deep respect for him. Sometimes they talked to each other, but other times they simply sat down and meditated. The man had a lot of wisdom to pass.

"Namaskar, Daler." she said with a smile when she got near him with a slight bow and pressing her hands together, greeting him in the same manner they did when they went to meditate together.

"I missed your company." she said, looking to the old man with a smile.

"Not many people realize the importance of meditating nowadays, and even fewer people are as wise as you are."

"Have I missed anything interesting? I am a little late because I lost my flight yesterday."

"Oh, sorry, I didn't saw you there Mako." she said, greeting her after a while.

"Your acquaintance?" Meilin asked, referring to the quiet, doll like girl that was nearby.

"Pleasure to meet you, I'm Meilin Hua, but you can call me just Mei." she said to the quiet girl with a smile.

After she spoke to everyone, she turned to Dr Shin Maxwell.
"Doctor." she said in a distant, formal greeting. She didn't exactly got along with him due to his... Difficult personality, and as such she wanted to avoid any kind of problem with him.

@Azereiah

I was thinking in making Meilin and Daler known themselves, since Meilin has already graduated and Daler basically lives on the institute.

Giving that both like to meditate, maybe Meilin sometimes meets with him to meditate together and hear his wise words.
Meilin was raised in a temple, so she has a deep respect for the elders, especially Daler, who is someone who makes her remember of the old monks that taught her. Is it ok?

Just didn't wanted to post something like "Hey there, we know each other. That is not a question!"

I actually have a picture that I REALLY want to use in an rp, but NEVER had the opportunity to use...
(Actually have a folder with 60mb of really nice images to build characters, organized by type, theme, race and even weapons (guns, blades...), armor, clothes, misc items (like a really nice collection of flasks and potions (also never had the opportunity to use... maybe I would use it with an alchemist type character))

Yup it is. And i'm not even a little sorry about it

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

I think that this party is about to get a little hot.

I hope i haven't gone a little overboard with this post... :-|

Adventures of the Blood Rose Irregulars

Aimée Bellerose

"Luck had nothing to do with it, it was all a show my dear. Although [...] I had more help than he did. We had a mage supporting me the entire fight, so we kinda cheated. And this Chieftain was a small fry dumb trying to prove himself, I got some good stories from other battles that puts this guy to shame."

"Really? A mage? But I didn't see any fancy and flashy magic going on like the mages that sometimes perform with me on big cities..." she said, curious.

"Oh you do? she exclaimed after hearing about the stories. "Please tell me them! I would love to hear them if you have time!" she said, he eyes shining with curiosity.

"As for You keeping me company I really can't complain. Especially if your company continues to my tent tonight." he said, with a sly and playful voice.

It wasn't the first time someone had made that proposal to her, as it was common on the big cities when others saw her dancing. Most women would get offended and irritated, but for Aimée hearing that was more of an compliment than something to be offended. After all, every woman likes to know that other men desire her. Women always took being called pretty and wonderful as a compliment, so why think different about something like that? After all, our words can tell lies, but our bodies always tell the truth. And for someone who gains her life by dancing, using her charm and her beauty to keep the audience interested, but at the same time maintaining the mysterious air and never fully showing herself are things that are natural to her.

"Oho~ You're quite the bold man aren't you Mr. Silas?" she said, in a playful voice.
"You flatter me with your words Mr. Silas, but I'm a very hard woman to conquer. After all, the most satisfying and memorable victories come with the hardest challenges, am i right?" she said, giggling.

"But you should be careful. Those who play with fire..." she said, letting go of his arm and spinning around him, her fiery red braids spinning with her.
"Often get burnt down to a crisp!" she said with a playful giggle as she poked the knife wound on his back with her finger.
"Mr. Silas, you're quite the interesting guy, I'll be keeping an eye on you." she said, walking away with a wink and a mischievous smile.
Lala was truly an fiery woman. Flirting and using her charm, bright and beautiful as the sun, but at the same time, unattainable. That way of keeping the men interested, never fully rejecting them, but always dodging their proposals, making they feel like they still have a chance with her is one of the motives why on every city she goes to dance, men always come to see her dance, as the women envy and hate her.

"Champion! You sir have never ceased to amaze me! And my most beautiful Lala, I will play the Lyre and lute until my fingers bleed tonight! Hell I'll sing dwarven opera if you wish!" She heard Stefano saying as she was starting to walk away.

"Please do Stefano! It would be rather entertaining to see you singing opera!" she said, laughing.
"I will be happy to perform with you tonight, lets give the weary soldiers a show to lift their spirits!"
"Now if you boys excuse me, i need to prepare myself to the party tonight. I don't want to use this combat outfit to perform. After all, i promised the soldiers to show them a special dance, and i cant let down my audience!" she said with a smile.

Aimée found a tent for her rather quickly, as some soldiers recognized them from the battlefield and promptly gave her an empty tent that was being used to store things.
The rest of the day passed really quickly as Lala slept a little bit and prepared herself to the party that night.

A couple of hours later

Aimée was called by Nixon and Silas to a sort of meeting... She didn't knew what it was about, they only said to her that they wanted to make her a proposal.
"The Blood Rose Irregular? Hm... Sure, why not? It sounds fun." she said, with a smile. "You got a very interesting group of people here."

Gettting outside, she heard Stefano's familiar voice in the middle of the crowd. It was Stefano. He was playing the lute and... singing?
Unexpectedly, his voice was very nice! Even after the failed attempt to drink the entire tankard of beer.

"Bravo! Definitely the selling point of your performance was the part with the beer!" Aimée said, approaching the crowd.
As she walked in Stefano's direction, the other soldiers stopped what they were doing, to look at her.
Getting near him, she raised the ring blade, now wrapped carefully in red silk, to hide the blade, and said.

"I promised you a dance, and I don't want to let down the courageous soldiers who sent the orcs fleeing with fear back home!"
"Lets do a party that even the orcs can hear while they cry over their defeat!!" She yelled, with the soldiers cheering loudly after the last statement. Opening a small circle around her and Stefano.

"Lets rise the temperature a little, shall we?" she said both to Stefano and the soldiers with a wink and a mischievous smile.
As soon as he started playing, she got the ring and started to dance, a different dance from the ones she performed on the battlefield..
Graceful and provoking, she put the ring on the ground, holding the top of it and passing through it, showing her beautiful legs in the process.
The dance was slow and did make full use of her flexibility as she did the provocative and sensual dance. Obviously the soldiers stopped doing everything they were doing and started cheering loudly to her dance. Their eyes were glued on her as she continued dancing.
"Don't get distracted Stefano." she said giggling provocatively to him, as she was dancing right next to him.

"And don't even think about touching me without my permission." she said to him loud enough for the soldiers to hear in a playful voice.
"This ring can cut snakes as easily as it can cut orcs!" she said, slamming the ring between Stefano's legs, a couple of inches away from him as she leaned over the ring, getting near his ear.
"Just play along, just a little thing to spice up the show." she whispered in a playful voice as the soldiers laughed in the back.

Meilin Hua

Meilin Hua

• Name: 美琳 花
• Age: 18
• Gender: Female

Personality:

Calm, attentive and kind, Meilin is a rather introvert woman, being raised in a monastery means that she was often training, meditating or reading. But to those who are able to befriend her and know her better, she can be very caring and affectionate, even passing a motherly aura.
It takes a lot to get her angry, needing only a few minutes to calm herself down. She usually prefers to solve her problems by talking rather than by violence. Ironically enough, Meilin loves martial arts and enjoys a good sparring session.
She absolutely hates arrogant and obnoxious types, but would never start a conflict about it, choosing often to simply walk away.

Meilin is somewhat shy regarding romantic relationships, but if someone catches her eye, she will actually try to show her interest, albeit in more discreet and indirect ways. The most effective way to earn her attention is by being kind, attentive and above everything else, delicate. She dislikes those who try to reach her in a brute, unrefined manner. She loves to read, have interesting conversations, listening to music, playing her flute and meditating.

Backstory:

Meilin was born into a martial arts temple, her parents being monks themselves, she learned martial arts since she was a child.
The fact that she was only a small girl irritated some more traditional practitioners, but even as a child, her talent was undeniable, having a strong body and a deep passion not for the power that the martial arts offered, but the wisdom and teachings that came with it, she had everything to master even the more complicated forms.
As the time passed, the entire temple was forced to acknowledge that Meilin was special. With that, the others started to treat her not as a child, but as a martial artist, even asking for advices and for her to teach them.
Her attentive and calm behavior were perfect for teaching, thing which she actually enjoyed doing, usually helping those who asked her with private lessons about martial arts and tips on how to use their body more effectively, while improving herself.

As she continued studying and practicing martial arts, she stumbled upon some very interesting styles, some regarded as myths or only tales, others actual styles forgotten by the time but all of them had one thing in common: instead of using swords, staffs or other weapons, they used the flute. A simple musical instrument, but in the hands of those skilled enough, became a deadly weapon, capable of stopping even blades.

One day, when Meilin was practicing tai chi with the flute, she had an urge to play it. She didn't knew from where that came, but she simply took it and started playing while continuing to practice. With slow and precise movements, she took the flute to her mouth. Her fingers moved almost instinctively, together with her body. The melody that came out from that simple flute as she meditated drew the attention of the oldest monks in the temple, as the beautiful music echoed through the halls. She had never played flute before, neither that tune was a tune that a musician could play, it was a tune that reflected her experience and deep passion for martial arts.
The elders immediately sent her to a secluded part of the temple in the middle of the mountains where the oldest and wisest monks would test her, and if she had the will to learn and accept their teachings, they would teach her the ways of the Song of the Shifting Flowers, an ancient form of martial art using the flute as its weapon.

The test wasn't about her physical, but instead, they were testing her resolve, her mind and her passion for the martial arts. After completing the test, she was deemed able to learn about the secret art. Her second test to determine if she was worthy of learning the Song of the Shifting Flowers was going inside the mountain in a jade mine and hitting the stone with enough strength and on the right places to break a perfect piece of jade, without a single crack. Days passed as she hit the stone wall with her bare fists in the most varied ways, staining the wall with her own blood. Not knowing what to do, she laid down on the ground, wounded, tired and almost giving up. That was when she saw a single stalactite, made entirely of rough jade. It was too high for her to reach, and if she tried to break it with a stone, it would shatter the stone and break its core. Looking around, searching for an answer, she saw a couple of holes in the other corner of the wall. These holes, when she did an open palm strike produced sounds that echoed through the entire cave. She noted that for each time she hit a different hole, it produced a different note, shaking the stalactite a little bit.
It was only an idea, but she resolved to try anyways, to hit the holes mimicking the same song she played in the flute before. As she rhythmically played the notes, striking the wall with precision and just enough power to produce the clean sound, the stalactite started to vibrate more and more. When it was almost falling down, she extended her hand, catching it in mid air. When she gave the stone to one of the elder monks, it immediately threw it on the ground. Meilin gasped in terror as the stone hit the ground, shattering to pieces only to show its core which was almost a perfect cylinder made completely of jade. From that cylinder, the monks made a flute for her as a symbol of her being able to learn the art.

It was on that temple that Meilin discovered her powers. Almost immediately, a member of the Institute came to invite her to a special place where she would learn to better control her powers, but after a brief talk with her and the elders monks, they agreed in letting her complete her training there. After completing it, it was time for her to go to the institute, where she quickly learned on how to wield her power. Now with 18 years, Meilin decided to continue on the institute. She believed that it was her responsibility to pass her knowledge to those who needed it, and as such, she enrolled on the institute once more for a year before she could effectively teach there.

Equipment:

Jade Flute

Abilities:

Being an expert in many martial arts, she learned how to use her body effectively. Without making unnecessary movements, she is able to save her energy, being able to stay in combat for a good while before getting tired.
Her intensive training gives her an impressive control over her own muscles, making her able to perform acrobatics that would be difficult to untrained people.
She an unexpectedly good cook.

Names/descriptions of moves:

• Channeller category: Alternative
• Description of power: Sound Manipulation
• Names/descriptions of moves:
• Falling Petals: Meilin can produce a very high frequency note from her flute. Those within hearing range will feel dizzy, nauseated and vertigo. Meilin can focus this ability on a single user, which will cause him to also feel a sharp, disorientating pain or simply let everyone who hears it in a range of 15m feel the normal effects. Its important to note that only those who hear the actual note will feel the effects. This ability is not a full song like the Song of the Shifting Flowers, but a single note produced from her flute. If someone hears it consecutive times, it'll strengthen it's effect on their body and take longer to recover. If one stops hearing the sound after hearing one or more times, he will still feel the effects from the previous times he hear it, but his body will start gradually recovering from it.
• Fang of the Jade Dragon: Using the wind passing through her flute to resonate, she can effectively wield her flute as a sword, using the sound waves produced when she moves her flute quickly to either cut or stab.
• Open Hand Strike: With a powerful open hand strike, Meilin sends a low frequency wave of sound, damaging the internal organs of the target.
• Heartbeat of the Jade Dragon: Using her entire body's mass and strength, she gives a powerful stomp on the ground together with an open hand strike, creating a shockwave around her, knocking those nearby away and inflicting impact damage.
• Song of the Shifting Flowers: Using her flute, she plays a tune which creates a pressurized current of air able to inflict cuts on the target. The cuts are deep enough to cut muscles, but not deep enough to hit internal organs. Meilin has complete control over the area that the sound can affect and the intensity of the wounds inflicted. This ability is a full song, and as such will impede Meilin to use her hands for the duration of the song. It has a radius of 10m and it can be blocked if one wears armor or is behind an obstacle strong enough to resist the cuts. The cuts are not instantaneous, albeit they are ridiculously fast to a normal human to dodge, those with enhanced hearing can predict where the cuts will strike and those with enhanced speed can dodge it, although if Meilin focuses the ability in one target, it will be rather hard to evade every single one of them.
