Name: Melody Alexandra Hillsborough

Class: Monk

Age: Dead

Sex: Female

Race: Forsaken



History: "Life is the easy part - the afterlife is when things get difficult."

Born in Hillsbrad and raised on the outskirts of Gilneas, Melody was a cynical and narcissistic little shit who worked as an assistant in one of the smaller town libraries. Her alluring appearance was offset by her hideous personality, and she toyed with many men in order to get what she wanted. One could say she was spoilt rotten in her youth, and this persisted right up to the Scourge invasion of Lordaeron. She was able to use her accumulated fortune in gifts from potential suitors to buy her safety, and at the worst of times even stooped to using her body as a means of payment. Melody was one of the last the fall; her escorted caravan was ambushed by gargoyles and she died in what is now known as the Eastern Plaguelands.

As a mindless servant of the scourge, Melody is quite lucky to be largely unharmed during her forced servitude. She was used to carry information to the more intelligent undead forces for several years, a sort of 'messenger ghoul' thanks to her lithe and agile frame. In fact, it was during a long-distance journey that she stumbled further and further away from the Lich King's influence, and managed to regain some consciousness. Scared and confused, Melody lashed out at a passing Gnoll and was consequentially shot in the face. The shrapnel from the cheap blunderbuss wasn't enough to kill her, but she blacked out - and the Gnoll dragged her body back towards Sylvanas' forces. This was how Melody joined the Forsaken.

The ill-fated headshot caused quite the drastic change in Melody. Certain parts of the brain were affected in the wound, and she constantly displayed an almost unnerving sense of optimism and cheeriness. Her agility and flexibility was put to good use as a rogue, but it was later discovered that she was actively drinking toxins and preservatives at an alarming rate; her dulled, undead senses were coupling with a damaged part of brain tissue which caused specific cravings and euphoric responses. Affectionately nicknamed 'The Drunken Forsaken', Melody was more of a morale-booster than an actual fighter. Her short attention span and physical weakness made it impossible to do much on the frontlines, but her quirky, eccentric personality made her into something of a token mascot who encouraged and rallied the Forsaken.

When the Forsaken regained the Undercity and Melody's head was finally examined, some of the shrapnel was fortunately embedded into the tissue in such a way that made it possible to remove without severely affecting her functionality. This also had its drawbacks as small flashes of Melody's original personality shone through, such as her cruelty and vanity. The damage, however, was irreversible; this new Melody had become something significantly more dangerous than the lovable potion-chugger from the reclamation of Lordaeron, and this began to be noticed on the battlefield. She wasn't falling in battle; in fact, she was becoming faster and stronger by the second. She was sent out on many campaigns, proudly displaying the Dark Lady's banner (in some cases using the flagpole to impale her foes) whilst she ducked, dived and slashed her way through Outlands and Northrend. Songs were sung of her, she started to ascend from myths and rumours into engaging stories of her antics in taverns all over Azeroth. It was no surprise when Melody became a monk in the Pandaria campaign; her name was something to both joke about and fear. Her unpredictability made her loyal to none but the Banshee Queen and she merrily followed the Forsaken Army into battle.

Why are you joining up with the Wardens: Because the Dark Lady wills it.

"Jack, rip that door!"

Is what came to mind when I read your CS.

There are a couple things that bother me about it though...

1: Rocket and grenade launchers seem very over powered to what the rest of us have.

2: IMO, summoning mechs to fight for you isn't something I would like to have, so please remove that.

At the bottom of your CS, you said that you are not going to make him OP and the such. I trust you but please do me the favor of keeping those weapons I talked about above on the down low and remove the mechs completely.

@Andromedai I think it's important to remember that while those types of explosives may sound very strong, this is a world that is also full of people that can toss fireballs out of their hands, or heal wounds with a simple spell. So that being said, do you think we could compromise and allow me to have smaller "wrist-rockets" à la Bobba Fett from Star Wars?

And yeah, I'll get rid of the mechs.

I like how out of all the characters so far, I think the one whose going to be the most snarky and hold the most predgidouses against members of the group will be Alina.
Along with this, I think it's important to note that for foresaken or death knights, healing you isn't going to be that pleasant, at least if it's coming from Alina. From what I researched on the light, both can be healed by it, but it'll feel like the wound is being cauterized, meaning it's gonna burn. So if/when the time comes, I think she'll have fun with it.

I'll try to get a post up in the afternoon for Alina, though it may take a little longer than expected.

I'm not looking forward to Thalions involvement with the monk.. something tells me our difference of opinion, and Thalions ultimate distrust of the Banshee queen, will have disastrous consequences

S'why Melody learnt how to Mistweave. Less of the burning, more of the healing! Just don't inhale the fumes.

'The Monk' - how ominous. Funnily enough, Melody physically can't get pissed off and broody. She will rather cheerily call you an asshole and explain why you are wrong, but she can't sulk.

And let's be honest - anything Melody does will inevitably have disastrous consequences, it's only a matter of time.
