Mel is pretty tall, around 182cm(6.0ft), and his body is lanky and thin. Mel has long, slender limbs and firm muscles under his skin. His fingers are also long and artistic and look like they were made for playing instruments.
Mel has really pale skin with hardly any imperfections and on his back there’s an enchanted tattoo that makes his body male.

Mel’s facial features are quite well-crafted and many would call him a pretty boy. He has a wide mouth with full lips, straight nose and big sea blue eyes that have a sharp look to them.
Mel’s hair used to be long but the minute he could decide Mel shaved his head, leaving hair only on top of his hair. The hair on top of his head is black, reaches Mel’s ears when pulled down and it has few thin white highlights.

In clothing Mel favours street credible and slightly punk style and he has surprisingly good fashion sense. He can usually be seen wearing ripped jeans with chain or such, loose shirts with simple patterns, scarfs and headphones around his neck. As shoes Mel uses either worn leather boots or sneakers.
Mel goes nearly everywhere with his guitar case which is strapped onto his back. The case is decorated from all kinds of stickers Mel was able to somehow collect from different countries when he was still with the circus.
The guitar itself is electric, dark blue and white.

In his water fox form Mel’s body is about the same size as a Labrador retriever and his tail is a bit longer than his body. The tail itself is thick, pure muscle and ends on a large fin. Mel’s legs and paws are like normal foxes and have long, white claws on them.
Mel’s skin is formed from dark blue tiny scales. There’s turquoise spiral-like patterns on his head, back and all the way long his tail. Mel’s forehead has a large ice blue jewel and his eyes glow in the same colour of blue as his human eyes.

Mel isn’t really that sure what he wants or who he wants to be. For many years he was forced to be happy and smile all the time, even when he didn’t want to, and it became a natural state for him to be in. It had to be in order for him to survive. But at the same time he wants to be true to himself and express himself how he wants to. On the bottom of it all Mel is a melancholic, gentle creature who wants to spread peace around himself. But old habits die hard and so he often forces himself to grin and be happy in company. But from time to time when he is silent you can see a glint of sorrow in his eye.
Mel is good at separating and controlling his emotions and you won’t get him to show you any more than he wants you to see. Mel often pretends to be fine when he’s not and although Mel knows it’s not healthy he has no tools to work over his troubles. So he just keeps on hiding his negative emotions away until they burst out.
Mel is often good at social situations just through his pretend cheeriness. He usually just nods along and agrees with everyone else, not presenting his own opinion. He is too scared of rejection to do so. One way Mel is able to express himself is through his style and playing, and he spends a lot of time on both.
Mel is scared of many things, pain being the greatest of them. Be it bodily or mental pain. So Mel keeps people at arms length and doesn’t want to let anyone know too much about him. He is afraid of forming bonds because if he gets too attached the separation will only hurt that much more.

-Longevity: Mel will live for a long time, hundreds of thousands of years.

-Water Fox Form: Can turn into a dark blue fox-like creature with a tail like siren’s and body much like large fox’s. In this form Mel has heightened aquatic abilities, can breathe both underwater and on land and he can use echo location. Mel can enter this form at will and stay in it indefinitely.

-Illusion Creation: Mel can create lifelike illusions by playing any instrument. The effect of the power only works on one person at a time. Mel can’t decide the definite shape of the illusion but he can choose what kind of illusion it is. It depends on what mood Mel plays the songs in. If he plays in a happy mood the person will see illusions that evoke that same feeling in them and so on. The illusions are hard to set apart from reality but if the person seeing the illusion initiates contact with it their hand will go through it and the effect will break. But if the illusion initiates contact the touch will feel real.
This power can be blocked by blocking the sound of the playing. Using this power exhausts Mel and he can use this power for 15 minutes tops. After that he will fall asleep.

-Voice Of Calamity: Mel has a horrible singing voice and if he sings it causes other people to have spasms and pain in their head. Mel can’t control this power and it emerges every time he sings. The effect of this power can be blocked by simply blocking the sound of Eve’s voice. Eve gets the same effects from this power as the people it’s directed at and he can keep using it so long as his voice holds, which is usually not long.

Weakness:
-Out of all meats Mel can only digest meat of creatures that originate from the ocean. His body rejects every other meat and he vomits it up. He can eat, for example, fish, clam, shrimp and so on.

-Natural Talent: Mel automatically knows how to play an instrument if he holds or touches it more than 5 minutes and if he then plays it for 5 hours Mel will permanently know how to play it. But if Mel won’t play the instrument for 5 hours straight without breaks after holding it he will forget how to play it and start again. The instruments he now knows how to play are piano, guitar, flute and harmonica.

Mel was born as an accident to a young siren. She had a one-night stand with a kitsune and when she noticed she was pregnant it was too late. The siren didn’t want the child so she left him in front of an orphanage. Mel was taken in there and spent his first 7 years there.
That orphanage wasn’t a good place for young Mel to notice he wasn’t actually a she at all. Every time he tried to tell it to others he was either bullied or slapped by the adults, telling “her” to stop being ridiculous. The orphanage was a cold, harsh environment that didn’t allow Mel to be who he is. He couldn’t cut his hair, wear what he wanted or even play though it was in his blood to create music.
Eventually Mel got sick of all this and ran away at 7 years old. He was street smart and knew his way around the big town where the orphanage was located. The town was somewhere in Europe but that’s all Mel knows.
Mel asked around about easy money or a place to stay and some people directed him to a circus that was in town. The name of that circus was Calioso circus.
Mel got to see the owner and as a half-Fae and a mage he could immediately see that Mel was more than met the surface. Mel said he wanted to join the circus, to escape the life he had, and that he only wanted one thing. For his body to be that of a man’s. The owner, who knew people, was able to cut a deal to Mel. He would get what he wanted if he promised to be in the circus indefinitely. Mel promised and that was how he became a slave in exchange for a male body.
The minute Mel promised to stay with the circus he was brought inside and thoroughly examined. That was also how he found out that he was a mythical creature. A spell by the owner, who was a mage, forced him to change into his water fox form. Mel was terrified and confused but before he could even think about escaping a collar was put on him. This collar shut off Mel’s abilities and made it so the owner controlled him.
The owner kept his promise. Mel was given a hard and painful operation where an enchanted tattoo was crafted on his skin. During that operation Mel felt immense pain and blacked out multiple times only to wake up to more pain. But afterwards his body was male. But Mel didn’t have much time to be happy about it before he was put to work.
Mel started as a helper, doing small dirty tasks around the circus. This kept going for a year until Mel got his hands on a flute. He held and admired it for 5 minutes and suddenly knew how to play it. And when he played he accidentally showed an illusion to another captive at the circus.
When the owner found out about this ability he gave Mel an act. Now he had to go on stage as a hypnotist's assistant to play background music. In actuality Mel was the one doing "the hypnotizing". It was more brutal than before since Mel was forced to be happy every time he went on stage, even if he had been beaten or abused that day. Because if the illusions weren’t happy the punishment was horrendous. So Mel learned how to force himself to feel happy, even under worst possible circumstances.
Naturally the circus was found and shut down by the academy and the captives in the circus were saved. Mel and some other younger captives were brought under the care of the academy and put on remedial classes.
