Line 1:
'''Melphor Xin Fynnsea''', (previously '''Melphor Xin Barnes'''), is a cyan [[Axolian]] with pink hair and fins, blue eyes, and covered in freckles from head to toe. She has multiple discolored scars (all varying in size) that appear white on her skin from lashings and continuous regeneration of her limbs wearing out her body. Her hair goes down to her back, being straight and adorned with either warped roots or roses. Mel is partially blind in her left eye, damaged by lack of care and complications of injury to it. She has long but neat nails that seem to always have a red hue to them. Her tail is regularly used as a means to get someone’s attention, slamming it on the ground to make a loud, echo-y sound. Mel wears a red tunic with an off-white, puffy undershirt and copper-colored jewelry. She has red, velvety pants that puff out from her white combat boots.▼

== History ==
Melphor was brought into the world without parents to care for her, sent to an adoption agency once she was able to be taken care of. Her father had died during a work accident while her mother was proven to be an alcoholic and therefore, unable to take care of a young child. She stayed in different agencies during her early childhood years and was adopted at the age of five into the Barnes family.
Line 10 ⟶ 12:
Shortly after, Mel ran away from her host family, not even bothering to go to her father's funeral. She made her way to [[Prsata]] via the Alathran ports and settled in a tribal town where countless other Axolians resided, named Axolia. This town made her feel at home, and she stayed there for many years, gaining close relationships with multiple people, including those of world-wide respect the nation of [[Idrolia]]. Her years there led her to gain quite the reputation in Axolia. Yet her mind was set on enjoying life, and messing around with friends, who she now knew as her new family.
One day, from a sudden impulse to travel, Mel packed her things, said goodbye to her friendly home in Axolia, and dashed into Lake Idrolia, where she swam for miles. During her swim however, she was impaled by a drowned's trident, causing her to bleed out and perish in the lake.
Melphor woke up, her back pained her horribly but her mind was too foggy to pay much mind to it. She could barely remember what she was doing the night before. Her mind was still jumbled and she could barely even stand up to investigate her new surroundings. She could tell she wasn’t in Axolia anymore but was more intrigued by the sudden lightness of her body. As she surveyed further, she ran into a few people, one to note being Ines Nicosia. Ines sat her down and told her the story of The Scarred Hallow, supposedly the town of lost souls that died in tragedy or far too young. But then why was she here? Ines then told Mel that sad truth that she indeed was dead, but given a second chance. So many emotions whirled around Mel but in the next few weeks to come, remembering exactly how she died wasn’t the only thing she had to worry about…
Mel had stayed multiple weeks in The Scarred Hallow by now, and had gotten quite comfortable. She built her house, had met a few more people, and had even started gaining back her
Ines made the impulsive decision to ‘kidnap’ a friendly person of Guldhir, who called themselves Rit. Mel took a while to warm up to them, oblivious of the fact that they were anything more than a ‘guest’ to The Scarred Hallow, but they ended up becoming good friends. Until Guldhir barged into the castle and demanded that everyone there be detained and taken to court at that very moment.
Mel was put in a cage with Ines, both trying to comfort each other as they waited for what was to come. Guldhir was an old-fashioned ‘king’ based royalty, which made Mel question just exactly what was going to happen to them. Eventually, it was her turn to speak and she spoke truthfully. She had not been a part of the committee that abducted Rit and therefore knew very little, still, she somehow was sentenced just as bad as someone who was there. Mel earned twenty-five lashings, and watched in horror as Ines’ right hand was cut off. Mel
Melphor was relieved whenever Ines told her that The Scarred Hallow broke off from The Knights Of Rot Wud, ending the war between them and Guldhir. She of course, still had her grudges, the scars of those past events still bearing affect on her body and mind. But she wanted to change, perhaps grow closer with someone she had pushed away from for so long… Andras. Mel saw him way more than she wanted during such a short period because Dino lived with them in The Scarred Hallow, which he had to travel too in order to visit his son as well as any talks of business with Ines, which Mel regularly refused to deal with.
Melphor and Ines were visiting Guldhir after a long while of not being there, mainly because of the still rough patches from the war but they got over it, eventually. They had decided to visit Dino, who had decided to stay with Andras for the upcoming week. The two ended up discovering that Dino had been diagnosed with a life-threatening disease, which caused him to cough ash and other unnatural substances, showing the decay in his body. Andras and Mel decided that for the duration of Dino’s short life, they would at least try to be a family, wanting the best for him in his last few months. Though that didn’t last long.
Line 32 ⟶ 33:
A few days after these events, Mel and Vartilian agreed to go together on a trip to a place called ‘The Void’. Mel had heard stories but just thought of it as a fable. But if that was where the Morrowroot was that could cure Dino’s illness, then she would do anything to obtain it. Vartilian went in selflessly, leaving Mel with the boat to sleep and eat there for several days, awaiting his return with the ancient medical plant. Once Vartilian came back, despite the missing limb and multiple harsh wounds, he was able to get home with her safely, giving the plant to Dino for him to eat. Dino ate it and has been feeling better ever since, no new news has come up concerning the disease he once had.
The Scarred Hallow was calm for about a month before things started to happen again. Mel had had many dreams showing what her life was before death but these current dreams were different. Whenever she was in them, it was pitch black, and she felt like something was watching her, studying her motions and how she thought. No, it couldn't be… could it?
There are two main deities that Axolians look up to, The All Father and Oxitotl. The All Father is known as of course, all-knowing and a means of good fortune, as well as life. Oxitotl, is quite the opposite, regularly known for their tricks towards humanity and malicious mindset that they make up for in ‘charming’ personality. Mel, while she wasn’t religious, she did look up to the stories of the two, and even prayed to them sometimes, hoping some good would come out of it. One day, she ‘woke up’ in a dream and was met with this shadowy figure, it took the form of an Axolian but its eyes were round with slit pupils and a pair of fins and a tail that were quite longer compared to a regular sized Axolian. This was not how Oxitotl was pictured in statues, but I suppose things can be deceiving, especially with a trickster like them. Oxitotl proposed they make a deal to settle Mel’s worries about her new family in her new home. And, being the young and naive woman she was, accepted.
Oh how she’d regret that in the future…
Line 57 ⟶ 50:
Elias took Mel home after a while of saying his goodbyes to everyone there, discounting his father due to what he tried to do to Mel. They were silent the whole way back, until they came to the castle. Prior to the odd aura, they were talking about a suppressant for Oxitotl’s actions and influence, and Mel needed it as fast as he could manage. The two agreed to what they both needed out of this dream catcher that would hopefully tear down Oxitotl from the inside, making them weaker and therefore unable to bear any effect to Mel’s mind. Now, all she has to do is wait...
A few weeks went by and everything was quiet. Well, that was until Melphor received a letter from an unknown person addressed from Mythosia, a compact settlement in the small island squeezed in the middle of the opposite continents. Its vague contents were scattered and hard to read but Mel could understand what it was trying to say. Avele had died mysteriously, supposedly murdered, but the murderer had yet to be identified. Mel informed Ines of this odd letter and its contents before they both set off to Mythosia, where the funeral would be held. They attended the funeral which came and went, though Mel noted that she had to avoid her brother, Andras, who had somehow found himself there as well. And she did, quite well, not talking to him at all during that whole interaction. She did however find and briefly talk with the letter-sender, Aenora, who was now the mayor of Mythosia, since Avele’s murder. Something seemed off but she couldn’t place it. Still confused but not wanting to wait to go home, she practically dragged Ines back to The Scarred Hallow.
Line 68 ⟶ 61:
Melphor went on a day-long trip around the continents, and even met a new species and settlement that had placed themselves near the dormant volcano on the southwestern continent. She met Zoe, who she seemed to click with quite quickly. She could tell they'd be good friends. But she eventually had to go, and made her way back to The Scarred Hallow. She’d have a lot of explaining to do for her absence but that was the last of her worries, just wanting to curl up in a bed and sleep them away.
The days following these events were slow and boring. She, Aenora, and Waylin had gained the uncanny ability the talk telepathically while staring at eachother. Aenora used this power often but this time, had a request for Mel. She wanted Mel to summon Elias to Mythosia in order to do something. Mel had learned not to question the likes of Aenora and complied, regretting it as she found out why he was needed. Aenora knew of Elias' magical abilities and although he was trying to help Melphor with her 'demon', he apparently needed to be punished for disturbing the likes of two deities and their work. Aenora took Elias' abilities as punishment and sent him on his way. Mel couldn't take it and left before she did something, avoiding the betrayed eyes of Elias as she left. How could this be... good?
