| Melody grew up in the wine country of France with her elderly grandparents on their vineyard estate. Her parents died in a car accident when she was 4 and she barely remembers them, but carries their wedding picture and rings as her only link to them.
A good if energetic child, she was sent to excellent boarding schools where her natural curiousity of anything and everything lead her to learn useful skills such as lockpicking, in order to get into the Dean's files, the Library after hours, all sorts of interesting places. She found she was a natural with anything mechanical, engines and electronics alike and during her summers explored those interests in full.
At age 14 she found herself with unusual talents, and true to form quietly explored them in private, developing facility with psionic Numina.
On a trip to Washington DC to visit a schoolfriend there she began to suffer from nightmares and was put under medical hypnosis and treatment. Once she was kidnapped by a gargoyle on Tremere orders, but was rescued from his Haven.
After this she returned to France to be with her grandmother before she passed away, then returned to the United States.
Now 16, she hopped a bus to Ashland. Rhys Harper was the first person she met. He Entranced her immediately and took her home where he ghouled and Blood Bound her. Now his wife Melody had a fantastic time spying on other Kindred for him and when he became Keeper of Elysium subverted the security systems there.
The Prince happened to be a green eyed redhead and Rhys began an affair with her that left Melody uncertain of her position. Prince Kalie (Gangrel) insisted she be Embraced and the Tremere were chosen to do so if Rhys did not. Melody stayed out of sight as much as possible while Rhys worked out compromises with Kalie and generally stalled.
In the end, Rhys killed one of their three guardian cobras in a rage and burned down the house, nearly with him inside it to Melody and Kalie's distress. Melody grabbed him with TK and then stared him down with Serpentis 1 until he freed her to go back in and save their cobras. The Primogen and a Tremere Archon were coming, and Rhys fled. Melody was taken under Kalie's protection for the night and then began searching for her husband.
The two left town visiting her grandfather for a time in France, then traveling and eventually returning secretly.
(ooc: the player of Rhys is no longer on Ashland, I consider that he is elsewhere or in Torpor. In either case, she is no longer a ghoul.)
Her full history is at http:www.inw.ne/~wraith/mayday.htm but the only real change is that I edited out her FBI affiliation. I can keep it or not, doesnt matter to me.
Her stats are adjusted downward%2C and one of her numina deleted. |
