Meloetta

"It's not like villains properly ever get the chance to win, right?"

Appearance
Melody looks the exact same as a normal Meloetta would, excluding the fact that she's abnormally taller than the average Meloetta, by 2 feet exactly. She'll sometimes wear a pretty outfit she got from Michi, who had decided to get it for her. The beret she wears is very similar to Adeleine's, with the only difference being the color, albeit that she has no idea where it came from, and she will never know, unfortunately.

Personality
Melo is very caring, kind, and defenitely selfless. She'll go out of her way to help her friends if she thinks she's capable of doing such. But sometimes she might get scared and not do that. She can be jealous of some specific things, with an example being when she saw Jade do a floatlean, since Jade only showed Melo how to floatsit.

Background
Despite the fact that I would like to add this in, it will take some time since I'll need to come up with proper backstory for things so that they're not 'oh she has this and that because OC haha'.

Story in Starcross
Melody arrived in Starcrossing the same way everyone else did; being dragged in. She had explored places like the village, Toad Town, etc., and even stumbled across Ado, when she was still 'fused' with Lumia. When she first heard about it, though, she was shocked. She didn't understand how it worked since it's DEFENITELY not the same as Black/White Kyurem.

She made a lot of friends along the way, but... when Darkest Tomorrow ended, it made Melo feel like that just was torn apart. Of course, she's been forgiven (mostly... cuz well... Oszust), and hell she doubted Mia was gonna be able to get anywhere with the plan anyways.

But before all that Darkest Tomorrow happened, she participated in the Tournament. However, she didn't make it far. She lost her first round, and was a bit miffed about it. She calmed down, though. While the Tournament happened, it was when she met Michi, and became friends with her.

Sometime after those events, Melo had attempted to get involved in stuff in the Metaverse, but she had done nothing but watch, and felt useless because of it. She thought that a majority of her powers are just useless in the Metaverse, even if to Melo it felt like they would work. Michi attempted to comfort Melo about this, but Melo was still in disbelief about it, even if she didn't show it or sound like it.

However, much more recently (8/19/2020), Melo had awakened her own Persona, with a little talk-related help from Vi and Michi. Melo had no idea what she would be capable of, and thinks its rather surprising that she only knows that herself and Michi have Hydro skills. One disturbing (at least disturbing to Melo) fact about said Persona, though- Is the fact that Nakisawame, which is Melo's Persona, is a goddess born from the tears of Izanagi, which is Yu's Persona, after Izanami died. Why Melo is disturbed by this is the thought of 'Who in this case is Izanami?' and she at first assumed it was Michi, but thought that couldn't be true due to Michi's Persona not being Izanami but she has yet to realize that she was correct.

Melody did not originally ever intend on being part of any of the 3 main groups (Phantom Thieves/Misfit Thieves/Solver Squad) when she learned about them. However, curiosity had occured to her and asked (AU) Leuqar about joining the Misfit Thieves. Melo expected it to be Leu's decision but instead was told that it was HER decision if she wanted to join the Misfit Thieves. Melo mentioned several different things that she thought would mean she really wouldn't fit in, including the fact that she didn't have a proper seperate outfit for Mementos or the Midnight Channel. Leu stated it wasn't a necessity to join the team, and Melo decided to mention her codename to Leu while she was at it, and now Melo is a member of the Misfit Thieves- Or at least the SC Misfit Thieves, from what Melo heard.

Basics
Melo still has the psychic and singing abilities that every Meloetta has, Relic Song and forme changing included. However, Melo has her Radiance forme, which normally is a fanmade forme, and her Delta's Mime forme, which is accessed through an off-note Relic Song.

Persona
Melo's Persona, Nakisawame, resists Fire and Earth, is immune to Hydro, but is weak to Electric. Its only attacking skills are Aquadyne and Malaquadyne. The rest are status skills, such as Dazzler, Endure, and Wake-Up Slap.


 * Side-Note: Nakisawame is more than just a Persona, though. It's the actual Nakisawame, as in the deity itself.

Scythe
Her scythe was something she tried to make on her own using wood and iron scraps that were laying around Starcrossing. However said scythe didn't stay that way very long, as with help from Vi, Melo was able to get a 'True Hallowed Scythe' instead. However, it hasn't been upgraded past that at all, and has still been a 'True Hallowed Scythe' for the longest time. Melo still wonders to this day when it'll ever be upgraded, but it never really comes to mind often for her.

She also has gotten a second scythe from Chris after he and Calli defeated Providence, the Profained Goddess. However, at the moment, she has no idea that the Molten Amputator can be used for something powerful known as Celestus.

SOUL of Rage
Melo did not originally have this back in her world, but was forced to have it because of a Post-Genocide Route Frisk/Chara that invaded her world and were curious to see how a being that isn't human or monster would react to being forced to have a SOUL. Normally, the SOUL would've been a 'weakened Determination SOUL' due to it being a SOUL that the Frisk had sold to Chara, but something that the Post-Genocide Chara accidentally- yet unintentionally- did while trying to force the SOUL ended up changing the SOUL's color a bit, and even changed the trait entirely. The strange flame that swirls around it represents how much rage she's endured and 'stores'. The flame, however, cannot completely store all of the rage sometimes, and will be fired back at Melo, causing her to suddenly act in ways she wouldn't from the feelings of rage suddenly applied to her. But when Melo doesn't let the rage control her, she can utilize it to increase her Attack with the ability 'Raging Determination'. This ability first was an unintentional use on Melo's end, and controlled her feelings the first time, but now she's able to use it without anything backfiring on her. Melo can still use it to refuse to die like with a normal Determination SOUL, but if the 'refuse to die' part does not come in, Melo will end up enduring a 'soft-reset', which causes her to get brought back to what she considers to be home and the SOUL would be 'fixed' (but Melo will be at 1 HP). Luckily, even if it does cause minor memory loss, no major information will be lost. Recently, Melo was able to figure out another ability, that being a 'Multi-Weapon of Negativity', which removes some of her contained Rage and manifests it into a weapon or wings, the latter only being possible because of Minato reaching Rank 8 with the Priestess Arcana for Melo. In some moments of great anger, something will happen to Melody. Her hair will start to turn scarlet from the very end and 'climb' up the more she stays angered. This will be more significantly important in the future...


 * Side-Note 1: This does NOT give Melo control of fire in any way, shape, or form. All flames and fire you see Melo "use" are purely aesthetic and do not actually deal fire damage. However, the SOUL's flame itself does burn like a normal flame, but not even the heaviest amount of water can douse it. Instead, it is composed of negative feelings, which is how it 'burns', meaning that Melo remaining calm and collected is how the flame 'dies down', even if it does not go away.
 * Side-Note 2: The 'Multi-Weapon of Negativity' is called what it's called because in my eyes, rage is usually seen as a pretty negative emotion.

Misc.
Melody has some other things that helps her too. These won't really be given their own sections, and some of them may be lacking details, but here they are listed seperately:


 * SP Hourglass: Allows for 3 uses of time stop during battle. Can also be used to open a rift to the Mirror World if done right.
 * Asterisk: The Asterisk that Melo has is the Kaiser asterisk.
 * Swords: Melo has two different swords, those being the Absolute Zero (Terraria Calamity Mod) and the Snipe Saber (Octopath). These are technically complimented by her Asterisk.

Trivia

 * Melo isn't necessarily addicted to music, but the mention of it can distract her.
 * Melo sometimes sees Michi, Vi, and herself as a trio of their own, but keeps in mind that the latter two are Misfit Thieves.
 * Melo didn't see herself becoming a Misfit Thief despite wanting to try and help, but curiosity led her to being part of the Misfit Thieves now.
 * Melo used to be scared as hell when seeing Michi's true form, but now she's gotten over it, and motivates Michi when she uses her true form.
 * She used to be scared of Michi's true form because of how Michi acted in said form during the Shido arc and how she was suddenly attacked by true form Michi while Mia was brought up during a conversation.
 * This fact is practically nullified now due to Michi being an android now.
 * However, it can still apply for Offshoot Melody in the Bad End timeline, since Michi wasn't an android back then.
 * Melo's 'Multi-Weapon of Negativity' can be any weapon she chooses, but each varying weapon type can cost different amounts of her contained Rage.
 * The 'Multi-Weapon of Negativity' ability used to manifest a random weapon for Melo, but once Minato had hit Rank 6 with her Social Link, she's been able to choose at free will.
 * Melo's contained Rage is defined by 'RC', also known as Rage Counter(s).
 * Melee: 1 'RC' (Small size), 2 'RC' (Medium size), 3 'RC' (Large size)
 * Ranged: 2 'RC' (Short range), 3 'RC' (Decent range), 5 'RC' (Long range), 7 'RC' (Very far range)
 * Wings (SL Rank 8 Exclusive): 10 'RC'
 * Melo's current 'RC' limit before there's a chance of her being affected by her contained Rage is currently 30, but it can be upped as she gets the hang of it.
 * The 'RC' required for wings is the highest, and will remain the highest, but it can be lowered to a minimum of 8 as Melo gets the hang of her SOUL's powers.
 * Melo's one of many that don't know what to say half of the time during a conversation.
 * Melody's nickname, 'Melo', was made up by Michi, who also came up with Melo's codename, 'Note'.
 * Melo's technical birthdate is the release of Pokemon Black/White in the USA, which is September 18th. However, despite this, she doesn't know her actual age, which means her actual birthyear is unknown.
 * Melo's arcana is the Priestess arcana.
 * Minato has a Social Link with Melo, and he's currently at Rank 8 for said link (as of this current version).
 * Melody's last name, 'Akapera', translates to 'A cappella', which is a form of music.
 * Human Melody is taller than Human Ammy, due to how tall Melody is in her 'true'/normal form.
