Overview
In a last-ditch effort to save Celestara from ruin, Melvin set out to Gorbon’s Tower hoping to find the powerful wizard. Instead, he found that any notion of such a powerful wizard was a complete farce by Gorbon himself.
He found himself traveling with the remaining members of the now fugitive group Druecia’s Finest. To save the world, it would take all they’ve got.
Aided in the defense of The World Tree. Recruited the aid of the StoneFang Clan
Tried blocking the Concord Formula from being injected, but was ultimately unsuccessful. Once the tree fell, a half-conscious Melvin was saved by a mysterious blonde.
Spent the following months in Blackreach Prison with his cellmate Orion Starling. After escaping from Blackreach Prison, his saviors contracted him and the rest of his group to discover the origin of the crater where Northern Lunaris Point once stood.
A critical error nearly assured the demise of Melvin after he refused to take the escape pods out of the self-destructing bunker under The Crying Lands. Orion’s Tarot Cards provided a twist of fate, utilizing the Fruit of the World Tree to revive Melvin, forever altering his biology in the process.
A subsequent journey to the Heart of Yeen completed Melvin’s transformation, where he now exists to accelerate the spread of Yeen across the realm. These motivations, seemingly uncharacteristic of Melvin, serve as the result of influence from Rogue Spirits of Preservation.
Appearance
Once an ordinary halfling, Melvin now resembles a strange entity of nature itself. His skin has become bark, accentuated with sprawling vines and roots. Colorful flowers adorn his entire body. His eyes glow a haunting green, yet his pleasant demeanor remains.
His armor is seemingly of an unknown land, with silver stars firmly arranged over the dark blue trim. A matching silver star can be seen on a necklace he never takes off.
Background
Melvin, born a farmer in the outskirts of Valconia, lived a simple life with his father. He worked the land as hard as he could, spending all his free time plucking away at the mandolin his father gave him. Music was his solace.
Farm life in Southern Valconia differed from the relative comforts of places like Cornhall; here, the threat of The Burning Expanse loomed over everything. It wasn’t enough to grow crops. His father had to teach him how to defend himself as well. Occasionally, able hands were called to defend the Wall of Celestara from demonic forces. It was there, amidst the chaos, that Melvin learned to weave magic into his defense. It wasn’t easy, but they did what they could to get by.
Now an adult, Melvin has become a cornerstone of the Celestaran community. He runs a tavern named after his late father. ‘Mibbs’, situated near the wall, provides much-needed respite for those who risk their lives defending the city. He doesn’t run the show alone, however; Bentley tends the bar when Melvin needs to step away to entertain the crowd or handle business.
Yet, the unrelenting fight against the demonic forces is always on his doorstep. With rumors spreading of the Druecian Empire’s growth and their plot to destroy The World Tree, Melvin has decided to take it upon himself to set things right. Godspeed, little man.
