Appearance What you see before you is exactly what you're going to get in game. Mellow is a man shrouded in mystery with more than just secrets hidden behind his fox mask. Constantly clothed in open hoodies, t-shirts, and the baggiest pair of pants he can find, he's almost never wearing your normal average clothing. If he can manage to find things like robes or trench coats or things of that fashion, he'd gladly put them on; until then the world would just have to do with what they've got Surprisingly enough, outside of this world Benjamin is no different outside of the game than Mellow is within it. Taking the role of Mellow just a tad bit too seriously, Benjamin purchased a fox-mask, several hoodies, several t-shirts, and several baggy pants in order to assure he would always stay in character. Whether you believe it or not, Mellow has, and always will be this way; never anything more and never anything less. | Personality Hey champ, how're you doing? Doing well for yourself?.. That's good. Why don't you take a seat? I fear this one's going to be a long one...Okay *Cough cough* Mellow is in the nicest terms - not entirely stable in the mind. There are plenty of things wrong with him so I'd like to take a moment to explain every single issue in detail. Warped Reality: Due to his over obsession with video games and anime, Mellow's begun to believe he himself is the main character of one. Often referring to himself in public as "The Protagonist", he lives out his life day by day; claiming everything and everyone are just NPCs in his game. With this comes a rather heavy curse, one that he's attempted to fix with all his might but just hasn't gotten the hang of it yet. Mellow tends to react as his character would in a video game or an anime in real life and when in the game - well, he treats that reality as his own. This has caused issues for him in the past, but as of recent it's amplified. Now he's completely warped into this alternate reality; truly believing the video game world was his home. Lack of Compassion: When it comes to people who hold no relevance to him, he has a surprisingly low amount of compassion; some could even say he had none to begin with. Never taking the time to understand other's issues, what they may be going through, their life issues. In his mind, if they had nothing to do with him or those he cared for they were better of dead and gone. Now, something to be said about that was this. At times, this specific trait was even shown towards his own family; specifically his father and sister. What his means to those around him? It was really just the luck of the draw. String Cutter: String cutter is basically the best way to describe Mellow's insanely unfortunate ability to cut off ties with any person - be it friend or lover, within seconds. Putting all of his thoughts about them on the back burner, he's able to just say "I'm done with you" and walk away as if he'd never met them. Of course, this led him to not be the most favored of gentleman in school, but he was fine with the friends he did have; despite their incredibly low numbers. Reclusiveness: To Mellow, at the end of the day, despite anything and everything else, the only person he would ever need in this world is himself. With this in mind, he tends to spend long hours of the day locked inside of his room, only coming out to grab a bite to eat or use the bathroom. Completely obsessed with his game worlds and those in it, he give a care in the world about reality and the outside; it was nonexistent in his eyes. Megan Megani: [ To be explained in the history] Over Drive: The above traits of his personality were but walls guarding the final trait of his personality inside..overly caring. You see, after breaching the walls that Mellow set up, he was actually an extremely caring individual. After being hurt time and time again in the past, it left him to be a rather skeptical human being about everything in life. Should someone manage to actually reach his overly caring side, a trait would active known as his "Over Drive". The Over Drive is a time in which he pours every ounce of his emotions in to befriending, assisting, or loving the human being that managed to cause him to feel this way. It rarely happened often, but when it did, he always gave it his 100% |

Biography
The Ballad of Benjamin Newsome
This story begins like any other. Benjamin Newsome, 20 year old African American male whose lived a very secluded and sheltered life style. Benjamin wasn't the smartest in his classes but he managed to get by and he never once got in trouble with kids in school. Let's take it back to about..middle school; that sounds about right. During sometime on a saturday, Benjamin made the overly foolish mistake of going to an anime streaming site. It was there he discovered a chat box; this chat box taking him to a site we'll just call "Pearango" for now. It only took minutes before he'd developed and account and was actively chatting with people he'd never met. It was enthralling, it was invigorating, it was blissful. He thought for some moments that he could just chat for days--
--That was of course until he discovered roleplaying; it all went downhill from there.
Completely losing himself in this world, he'd become so enveloped by roleplay he began to think that it was more realistic to him than his own reality. At the time, he found pleasure in roleplaying as something known as a "trap"; a man who was so feminine people often believed he was a girl. Now his playing as a trap isn't important now, but it's something that comes in later so make sure you keep it fresh in your mind. Now, with all the roleplaying Mellow was doing, he began to neglect his real life issues; quickly heading towards a more bum-like lifestyle while he was flourishing in roleplay. One day, while speaking with a few friends he'd made on the site, someone brought up the topic of his name. Originally going with the name "Master", his friends found it to be unfitting of his trap stature and granted him the name "Maddy"; and if you remembered that tid bit I told you earlier, this is where it'd come into play.
"Maybe..Maybe I am a girl.."
That's right ladies and gents! Benjamin was so warped into his roleplay existence, he actually began to believe he should have been a girl. What does this have to do with Elder Tale you ask? Hold on, I'm getting to it. You see, long story short, Benjamin believed this reality so far that he was this Maddy; so much that he began crossdressing in real life in order to make up for the body he did not have...but that was not it - no; there was much more to come. Let's fast forward a few years to his abnormally destructive break up with a hermaphrodite. After the break up, his friends from earlier convinced him to realize that at that very moment in time, being a female wasn't the best idea. After a good month or two of mental dedication, Benjamin was able to break free of the mental restrain Maddy held on him; deleting that account and remaking his entire existence under the name that'd he'd be known by for the remainder of his days there..Mellow.
Fast forward to 17, Benjamin has now graduated school; still enveloped in this world of his. After getting a job and starting to earn money, he thought he'd finally been making a clean brake from the dark past that gripped him so-- wrong. He did not wish to become this woman again, he did not wish to be this trap once more - no, what occurred was much worse than that; Maddy became a second train of thought. A whisper in the day, a sentence in the night, Maddy worked her way into becoming a voice in Benjamin's head; constantly attempting to bring him back to the life that haunted him so. Skip ahead to 19 year old. By this time, Maddy was becoming overwhelming for Benjamin. With all the things that had already caused him grief, caused him pain, caused him to become this reverted, reclusive man, he now had to deal with a voice that told him he was living the wrong life; and boy was it loud. He couldn't deal with all the stress, he couldn't escape it, there was no way he could deal with all of the pain on his own..he needed to vent..he needed to find a way to express his suffering--
-- Enter, Megan Megani
For once, he felt he finally found a way to fight back. He'd finally managed to fight back the voice that was in his head; and boy did she hate it. Skip now to year 20. By this time, Megan Megani was so powerful along with all the other issues that filled his life that Benjamin completely lost sight of his identity. After attempting with the doctors to change himself to end the suffering, he managed to fight against it and eventually defeat it among other things; leaving more of a mental toll on him than he could have ever expected before.
"Who am I?.."
He sought out a place to call home once again. He needed to find a new identity, or rather, he needed to find a new crowd for him to be himself in. For a while, all seemed like it was lost, that he was never going to be able to escape Megani and he'd loss his identity for good; that was, of course, until he discovered the game that would not only grant him more than just identity..it would change the way he saw reality for the rest of his life.

CLASS SKILLS
Main Class: Monk
Beatdown: Tier I Skill
A toggle-activated monk ability that grants the monk a gradual increase in damage and attack speed for every opponent they defeat. This skill utilizes a combo system, where after about a minute if the user had not gotten another kill, the effect is canceled.

Bullet Punch: Tier I Skill
The user enters a frenzy by launching multiple punches after another, each punch launched at a faster than usual rate without losing very much momentum from a regular punch. The only disadvantage is that the user's arms are locked into performing this punching animation for four seconds straight, preventing them from doing anything else until the animation has completed. This skill has an animation time of 4 seconds (each individual punch has an animation time of 0.5 seconds) and a cooldown of 10 seconds.

This skill has an animation time of 4 seconds (each individual punch has an animation time of 0.5 seconds) and a cooldown of 10 seconds.
Zoom Attack: Usually called Zoom Punch or Zoom Kick by players who use it in the respective way, the Monk launches a punch or kick at the target as their limb extends for an additional meter forward for a few moments. The suddenly extended range of attack catches most melee opponents off guard. This skill has a cooldown time of five seconds, making it a viable fighting style for unconventional Monks who want to fulfill a mid-ranged role. It's said that a Monk named Dhalsim on the India Server popularized this skill by suggesting a build based on being able to use it with greatly decreased cooldown. This skill has an animation time of 1.5 seconds and a cooldown of 6 seconds.
Form Shift
A magical skill that allows the character to transform their appearances slightly, although there are no changes to one's interface. Most of these appearance changes are rather minor, allowing one to change their physical appearance so that their face, hair, or body size might differ a little. It is possible to consciously influence which physical features get changed. However, it is unlikely that one will be able to change their appearance to resemble a specific character at this stage. There is a small MP upkeep to keep the effect sustained.

There is a small MP upkeep to keep the effect sustained.
Wind Bullet
Toggle skill. A skill that is usually performed with a free hand, making it a useful technique for Monks and characters who wield only a single one-handed weapon. It can also be used with an actual firearm, causing wind bullets to be fired whenever the gun is not loaded with any form of ammunition. Its bare handed version is performed by extending the thumb and index finger while curling the other three fingers, as though a gun gesture is being made. Thanks to the toggle function of this skill acting as a safety, it can be turned off for those times where you don't want to accidentally shoot people because of your careless gestures. By pressing down the thumb or trigger, a concentrated shot of air is expelled forward from the index finger or barrel, causing a minor recoil from the shot. Wind bullets shot from this attack are fairly weak and are used more often to subdue or stall an opponent. This skill has a range of 10 meters, an animation time of 0.5 seconds, and a cooldown time of 1 second.

Aura Dragon Punch
A skill that is performed by cupping the hands together and then thrusting them forward at the opponent. This generates a densely-concentrated ball of mana which is then thrown forward and deals physical damage to whatever it hits. While this skill can be used in rapid succession, it drains 10% of the user's maximum MP every time. This skill has an animation time of 1 second and a cooldown of 2 seconds.

Iron Body
Toggle skill. The monk flexes their body, causing their skin to transform into an iron-like color for the duration of the skill. It provides additional offensive and defensive power at the slight cost of agility. As long as it is maintained, the monk's MP is gradually reduced.
