@Diamond655
I'm ready~

@Mr Allen J@Pseudoname
Sounds like a plan! (Mylene also does photography, so it can work in other ways too haha)

@Rekaigan

Haha, sounds like a good idea! I could see them becoming fast friends. Maybe even have a bit of a competitive streak between them if they ever face off on the dance floor or in the octagon?

@Pseudoname

Perhaps when Mylene becomes a better dancer they could get competitive. Most likely become rivals in the octagon... Doing a dance battle in-between trying to beat each other up hahaah (Actually just capoeira in a nutshell.)

Mylene Achterkamp

Name: Mylene Achterkamp
Age: 18
Gifted?: No
Skills:

Martial Artist - Although Mylene may not look it, she's actually an extremely skilled martial artist, trained in Wing Chun and Aikido. Some tend to mistake her for a Power-user due to her fighting ability, however this isn't the case. Because of her participation in MMA competitions, she's still learning different styles.

Photography - Because of Mylene's skills in combat, she's able to react to fast moving objects. Thus she is able to capture amazing images that most people would miss.

Cooking - Mylene is a pretty good home cook, and she tends to cook her own meals rather than buy them from stores or cafeterias. Her reasoning being, "I can put what I like in my meal, whenever."

College studies:
Major: Photography is Mylene's chosen course of study. She's always enjoy capturing images of various things, however her favourite subject to capture is high-speed movement as she feels that capturing these moments only come once in a lifetime. Attends a lot of martial arts tournaments as an amateur photographer to add to her portfolio.

Minor: Dance is something that Mylene had always wanted to try. She enjoys the idea of freeformed expression through movement, but she's also quite interested in forms like Capoeira. Dancing martial arts? Now that sounds really interesting.

Appearance:
(Refer to image)
Mylene stands at around 5'7" with an athletic physique (and a b-cup). She has long dark purple-dyed hair, her natural hair colour being black. She usually ties it in a low ponytail or leaves it untied. Mylene likes to wear coloured contacts that make her eyes look purple, to match her hair. Her natural eye colour is actually a hazel brown. Her skin is quite fair with a few freckles on her face. She often wears a grey beanie, a black t-shirt (Depending on the weather, she'll also wear a washed out blue hoodie and a green scarf), a pair of plain jeans and a pair of converse shoes.

She almost always has a DSLR camera hanging from her neck.

Backstory:
As the daughter of two well known martial artists, Mylene was born to be a martial artist as well. Her father was a Wing Chun Shifu and her mother was an Aikido sensei. Fortunately they didn't argue about whose martial art was better, rather they decided to teach their daughter both styles simultaneously. During her childhood, she spent most of her time in the dojo practising among her peers, however many of the other students didn't enjoy sparring with her, because she would often use both Aikido and Wing Chun during the match, giving her an advantage in terms of flexibility. Not to mention the fact that she was becoming somewhat of a prodigy in martial arts.

Despite her high aptitude for the combat arts, Mylene struggled to make friends at school and in the dojo. Her parents reputation and her skills created an 'untouchable' atmosphere around her, which caused many to hesitate when she approached them. During her highschool days, many people started picking fights with her due to her background, hoping they could brag about beating Mylene in a fight. Thus Mylene's win streak became the topic of gossip, which didn't help her 'friend situation'. However there was one person who approached her who wasn't afraid of Mylene. Someone who was willing to get to know the person behind the crazy martial arts. That person became her best friend, but also her only friend.

What was discovered by her newfound bestfriend, was that Mylene was a kind and caring person. Someone with a personality that would fool most into thinking that she wasn't actually a martial artist at all.

Mylene was able to get into Beacon University via a scholarship after being urged to enter numerous MMA competitions during her highschool days, despite how unorthodox her styles are.

Friends:
Helena Smith (NPC, Best friend)

Enemies:
N/A (Other than a bunch of self proclaimed rivals that she doesn't pay much attention to)

I'll have a Cs up by today, sorry I've been a little quiet haha

@Ryougu I'm just pointing this out because I found this weird about his character; but Kendo isn't exactly good for street fighting. Not even in the slightest. It's cool, but it's still a wooden sword in the end, and Kendo is taught as a competitive sport - not self defense. Just applying it to a real fight just sounds silly. It's a completely different ball game than real swords, or even katanas. And you're definitely not going to be able to wield a pipe like one.

@Mr Allen J

On the subject of that, it's better to say that he learned "Kenjustu" or "Aikido" if you want sword skills that are more 'practical'. Kendo, while it is indeed about wielding a sword, cannot be used in proper fights due to the way it works as a sport (As said by Allen). Additionally, you could even say he learned Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) if you want to stick with the whole sword fighting shebang. HEMA, although a sport, also contains realistic (Or as realistic as possible) swordplay that's not choreographed.

(Trust me, I've practised all of these)

Aria Bay - Not your average college roleplay.

I'm interested

As her body rested, her spirit felt weak and vulnerable. It trembled from exhaustion, but it could not rest for spirits never do. Zenovia's spirit felt something tug at it. It was being called somewhere.. Who could it be? Her mentor was the only one who would usually do these things, but she was no more than a spirit that guided her now. The summons felt ominous.. But she decided to answer it anyway; her curiosity getting the better of her. Her spiritual body left her physical one, letting it rest. Should anyone be looking at Zenovia, they'd notice small lines of light blue trailing her skin, however the sight of them would not cause any alarm. Her spirit body represented her physical one, except it was a ghostly light blue with a hint of yellow at the heart. Specks of light gently sparked off her, fading as they slowly fell to the ground. However, those who aren't trained or knowledgeable in spirits would not able to see her metaphysical body.

Almost immediately after leaving her body, she noticed a ghastly hand appear above her. She let it touch her forehead, knowing what it might be. The beast. The Warlock. His spirit called to hers. Despite the pure malice in his heart, she felt no fear. Planeswalking wasn't anything special for Spirit walkers like herself, even if their spirit had been weakened. The shaman accepted the call to the Void, knowing that she would come back. She closed her eyes for a moment, before opening them to see her new surroundings. An empty throne room, with almost nothing but one other. The Warlock himself.

"To what do I owe the pleasure, Warlock?" She asked in a calm manner, her expression quite blank with a hint of curiosity.
