Mipealean has spent the last year in self reflection and plans to continue on in his original development focus to become a monk. As many have met Mip, he has been extremely diligent in his travels, RP and log towards developing along the lines of his original character submission.

Based on Mip's sea elf heritage and intent on being a monk, I have used his past knowledge and basic affinity with water, to begin self-teaching him the basics skills to becoming an entry level monk. With each experience with various "forms of water" I have tried to come up with various revelations to continue with his self-taught nature. Water itself, is Mip's key to meditation and self-enlightenment. Each form of water, I have attempted to related to certain skills. I do not want this to be confused with a connection to the elemental paths, only a convenient use for his heritage and explanation for his development.

Mip intends to begin his training as a monk. He has saught many known "masters" of various cultures and credo's to learn from in his development. Throughout level 9, I traded between his blade and just bare hands when he was training (sometimes very much to his detriment but for excellent RP learning). At level 10, he no longer uses a weapon, only his hands from some hand-me down monk gloves. This is a fairly painful experience for him, but his training is grueling ... he will endure.
He keeps a detailed journal of pictures and notes on him at all times. Logging his interaction and studies from senior monks and drawing pictures to communicate where he can. He RPs both his log (constantly) and his tatoos (to those he trusts).
Mip is as true to his original submission as possible. He is currently level 10 and I plan to move next to Monk.
When this was last submitted, it took 2 weeks to reach the decision of requiring a CDQ. Given the server state, high levels, and reduced activity, I wanted to confirm this was still required as it was over a year ago and I'd like to move on with playing Mip.
