Well I suppose, but what do acheivements do long term? How do they help my characters? This isn't a video game. I am willing to listen but other than the fluff how does it make my character better?
Hahaha. Fair enough. And it does. I lost first round via submission.
Well, Jake is a skilled MMA fighter and since it was a mixed exhibition. You know a human being against an undead thingy, it made sense to just make you tap out.
Jake “The Under” Taker Age: 29 Sex: Male Height: 6 feet, 3 inches. Weight: 248 lbs. Reach: 80.2 in (203.708 centimeters)
Physical Description: Jake Taker is a tall man with a heavily muscled body; broad shoulders, thick sinewy arms and narrow-hips, with a thick butt and muscular thighs. One of the most distinguishing features is his penetrating grey eyes and raven hair.
Jake is well versed in American Boxing, Judo, Aikido, MCMAP (Marine Corp Martial Arts Program) and Jujutsu. However, he has studied and mastered other martial arts including techniques in Ninjutsu, Karate, Muay Thai, Kali Escrima, Chin Na, Wing Chun, Northern Shaolin kicking methods and Wushu, creating a style suiting his strengths and enables him to use his knowledge to the best of his ability.
Powers:
Jake’s muscles provided the force, but it is his uncanny speed of hand and foot that make him deadly. His punches are measured well over 3,350 lbs. of force, and his kicks registered 4,277 lbs. of force. A punch/kick combo once registered at 7,000+ lbs. of force. Jake is a supremely well rounded athlete with extreme conditioning. He is able to run a four minute mile, coming in at 4 min 11.4 sec. For a man of his size it is very impressive, and rather scary.
Jake has learned and mastered the very basics of the Xindhi (aka Dreamer) art of Seidhr. This ability is the basic "senses" of the Dreamers. Jake can "hear" and detect sound waves. He can see in the infra, ultra and visible spectrum of light as well as x-rays. While seemingly powerful it is limited by objects which can obscure his vision. Like an adept, Jake can also spread his senses across the EM spectrum, and can search for specific objects or creatures as he extend his senses to look in the various parts of the EM spectrum at once. This ability allows him to lock in on fast moving targets, allowing him a chance to zone-in on them.
Jake has also learned to generate electro-magnetic energy through his body, allowing him to manifest this energy along any of his natural striking surfaces (Hands, feet, elbows, knees etc.)
Since Seidhr and Galdhr are twin disciplines, he also learned the basics of Galdhr. Jake can sense dark energy and its various and often frightening fluctuations. Among other things, he can sense when others are manipulating this dark energy, and the lingering effects of such manipulations. While perhaps not able to identify the exact nature of the manipulation, the energy signature can be used to trace it back the source. When any magical effect is attempted within his sensory range Jakes may detect the weaving of the etheric threads, i.e. magical energies via this method as it deals with energies that natural seidhr senses would not detect.
Jake has also learned to generate the dark energies as swirling miasmas along any of his natural striking surfaces (Hands, feet, elbows, knees etc.) This allows him to strike creatures (ethereal, elementals, spiritual etc.) that otherwise would be immune to his mundane attacks.

History:
Jake began learning martial arts at the age of 7 years old, mastering Akido by the age of 13. At the time MMA was still in its infancy. Jake entered a tournament, and losing badly to more rounded fighters he began his life-long study of martial arts styles. By the time he was 19, and in college he had mastered several styles, adding to his growing and deadly repertoire.
Entering another amateur MMA event he won, drawing the attention of a mysterious trainer named Skume. Skume is a Xindhi, a Dreamer, who had been tasked by the Dreamers to see if their form of energy manipulation could be taught to another race. They choose the human race.
After many disastrous attempts, Skume decided to switch up his methodology, seeking to find someone who was disciplined enough to attempt the rigorous training. Hosting a MMA event, where Jake was the winner. After long debate and a visit from the Dreaming Queen herself, it was decided to try it with this human.
Skume began training Jake, and over a five-year span, Jake finally mastered the basic levels of Seidhr and Galdhr with enough skill that he has been able to employ them in fights against supernatural opponents.
During his training Jake began having troubling dreams where he found himself seemingly linked to others, seeing what they saw. At first these dreams were frightening, but over the years of training Jake looks forward to these events as it allows him a greater understanding of the multiverse in a way that normal human never can.
