LIKES
Mel likes activity. Whether it is physically stimulating or mentally stimulating, he loves to be involved in it. He is also very tidy. Foremost, he takes good care of himself, making his face looks nice and clean and wearing washed clothing. He also keeps his space tidy and clean, trying to keep his personal space his own even though it sometimes like the world is crumbling in around him. It is a positive sign that he has high hopes for the future and will do his best for the time being. He also loves lists, often keeping a journal with him so that he can always know what he needs when he needs it. He loves to be recognized for his hygiene. Sometimes he can go a bit overboard with it though and turn into a perfectionist. He has a love for cute clothes, typically women’s clothes. He is definitely not above wearing a skirt or clipping his hair back. He also loves to snuggle up, mostly only with his fiancee now-a-days.

DISLIKES
Mel’s main dislike is disorder. This applies to most branches of his life. Most visibly is his need to clean. Should a roommate fail to make his bed or clean up after himself Mel can fly into a mini temper tantrum and usually ends up doing it himself. If a friend happens to have anything that is out of order- be it in their lives or physically visible- he does his best to fix it. This typically consists of him buttoning an extra button of a shirt or plucking loose hairs off of clothing. He may also he somewhat critical of mismatching clothes but never mean or malicious. There are something’s that set him off, particularly leaving the top off of toothpaste. He also has an issue with loud or sudden noises; he characteristically just freezes like a frightened animal when he hears one.

FEARS
Mel is terrified of being made fun of. The way he acts and looks is highly effeminate, earned him plenty of bulling from his elementary school years onward into middle school. It hasn’t been so bad so far in Highschool. This originally started with his older brothers and is the initial cause for his gender confusion. He’s also afraid of the prospect of pain. He always carries around a bright orange whistle incase he should get kidnapped or get into a potentially dangerous situation. He also carries it just in case he should collapse due to his anemia. Recently he's had a lot of awful dreams concerning Zander. He's been afraid to sleep lately.

STRENTGHS/WEAKNESSES
An outstanding quality for Mel is that he has no problem being spontaneous and friendly with people. Because he has a sweet and compliant personality a lot of people can get along with him. He has a special place in is heart for those in need, especially little kids. Mel is incredibly forgiving, he will never admit to outward hatred. He firmly believes that everyone has good in them somewhere. This can also come as a weakness because he can be astoundingly naïve. Another weakness is his tendency to be self-sacrificing and demanding of himself. This can sometimes lead to interfering in other’s problems. His other weaknesses include his Anemia. It stems from an hereditary issue with his spleen, his family has enough money to get it removed through surgery, but Mel is afraid it will hurt too much. He also loves cute things, especially cute people. He sort of looses himself and really can’t hide his opinion on it. When it comes to people, well, let’s just say: good food, cute clothes and hair clips, and the erogenous zone is on the stomach. But that’s a secret.

Appearance: [400 words minimum]
One thing that is undeniable about Mel’s appearance, it is that he is incredibly effeminate. Only half of this is accidental. His hair is platinum blonde and long, he likes to spike it up in the back. It is bleached, it was originally a creamy brownish blonde color, but he decided to just bleach it and continues to do so. If you look close you’ll notice that the hair just above his ears has grown out enough so that you can see the color. Mel has a round and soft looking face with a higher forehead. His eyes are large and a pretty hue of greenish blue, his eyebrows are notably thick, his left eyebrow has a line going through it because of an old scar. His nose is straight and wedge-shaped, just below are his lips which are well-formed and a dull pink.

He is very short, hardly reaching 5’3”, even at age 17. There’s a chance that he still might grow, but he quite like being short for some reason. He is petite, with narrow shoulders and slender body but not as bony as one might initially think. He really watches his weight and tries his best to stay healthy. Also note the delicate look of his hands, small and elegant, usually with a silver heirloom ring on one finger.

It’s not just that he looks a bit like a girl, he flaunts it. If he were willing to dress more like a boy he could probably pull it off. But he just doesn’t try. He tries to pick out cute and flattering clothing for himself and is definitely not above wearing girl’s clothing. He has been known to wear a skirt on occasion. He loves it when people think he’s a girl, especially seeing their reaction when they figure out he’s actually a boy. His voice is also fairly high pitched, leading some to think that he is younger and hasn’t gone through puberty yet. He has, and he hates it. He keeps well groomed and shaves, trying to keep avoid having hair anywhere but on top of his head.

As a hamster, he is recognized as an Asyrian hamster. He is about the average size for a the breed. If one would like to get painfully specific, Mel’s particular breed variation of hamster is the Syrian Chocolate (sable) Longhair Hamster. His fur is a few shades darker than the cream color on his underbelly, his front leg fur is white. He has black ears, which look a bit large, and a bit of blue can be spotted in his eyes. Even as a hamster, he keeps himself very clean.

...history

Parents: Bernard and Elise Kucharski
Siblings: Friderick (oldest, is also called Fred), Jarick (reffered to as Jake), Marceli (Refferd to as Marc)
[400 words minimum]
Bernard emigrated with his parents from Poland when he was still very young to America. He was one of three, him being the first born, and with two younger sisters. He never got along with them very well, and sometimes still doesn’t as an adult. His parents worked hard to earn citizenship while Bernard and his sisters worked hard in school to learn English, taking only two years to become totally fluent. After Highschool, Bernard left his family to enroll in a small community college; there he met Elise Westerberg,

Elise Westerberg was born and raised in America in a family of four. The father had left, so Elise’s mother had three daughters. Their small family was very tight knit, and they were the best of friends. Even as they reached adulthood they stayed close. When it came time to go to college, Elise decided that she would first spend a year at a nearby college hen move on to somewhere out of state. She met Bernard as the first school year came to a close. Throughout the summer they hung out and steadily began having feelings for each other. Bernard even moved out with her to go to her new out-of-state college on the Midwest. His father had become a computer programmer for Ebay, and had enough money to send him to the school. A little bit before they reached the four year of college, they were married.

They remained in the area of the university after they graduated, happily married, until age 24 when they had their first child. A beautiful baby boy which Bernard named Friderick. His wife slightly was disappointed, as she had wanted a baby girl, but loved the child all the same. The second came along when Friderick turned three. He was named Jarick, Elise insisted upon his middle name being more American. Bernard agreed as long as first name was polish. Elise was desperate for a baby girl, so they decided to try once more and got Marceli. She insisted on an ambiguous sounding name for him, he is also called Marc, and Marcel. Although Bernard was overjoyed to have several strapping young boys, Elise was dissatisfied. She loved her boys, but really, really wanted a girl.
When Firedreck turned 7, they had Aleksy (or Mel, as he’s more commonly called). Elise was devastated. Having been raised with all girls, she didn’t know about boys and how to deal with them as children. Firderick was quiet and helpful, but Jarick was a loud and rambunctious 4 year-old, Marceli was only 2. Bernard was happy, but did his best to appease his wife. Elise doted most on Aleksy, sometimes forgetting that he was actually a boy. His father would also forget sometimes. They treated him as though he were a baby girl.

As he grew older, his brothers, Jarick and Marceli would sometimes tease him and dress him up like girl, Friderick never took part. Or whenever they would play ‘Castle’, Aleksy would always be the “damsel in distress”. He developed a liking to dressing up and girl’s clothes and actually tried to wear a skirt to school on his first day. His parents thought it was cute but would allow no such thing. They didn’t realize that young Aleksy actually thought he was a girl.

As he grew older he could only make friends who were girls and his habits took on a very girly note. He was teased horribly by his peers because of it. He didn’t really understand what was going on or really who he was. His two older brothers made it worse, Friderick never interfered, through he would often try to comfort Aleksy when his mom couldn’t. His father was worried by the youngest son’s odd mannerisms and tried to ‘Man him up’. But the boy could never keep up of do any of the things his dad wanted him to. He was athletic, but not really strong. It worsened when he was diagnosed with mild to moderate hereditary elliptocytosis. Jarick and Fridreck had had it, but they had gotten their spleens removed to stop the symptoms. Aleksy refused, and would even go so far as to hide for hours should someone let slip that they planned to take him.

The bulling continued, but Aleksy grew to be a sweet boy despite it all. He also stared to refer to himself as ‘Mel’, which horrified his father. As he reached sixth grade, he was attacked by a group of boys one day as he was walking home. They left him bruised and with a few broken ribs. They also left a mark just above his eye, which has a visible scar. From that day forward Friderick- aged 17- would walk him to and from school. On occasion boys would throw stones at them.

Worried, the parents began looking for other schools. But on the eve of Mel’s 13th birthday, something happened. He came home from school early because of really bad aches. His parents thought that perhaps it was his anemia and sent him to bed. Later in the night, they heard screams coming from his room. His mother ran to check on him, but something was happening. His body was changing, all of it accompanied by awful sounding cracks. Elise was horrified, and ran to get her husband, but when they returned, he was gone.

It was a terrifying experience for Mel. Once the transformation was complete, it seemed that the world has grow gigantic, and more so, he was all furry! He managed to get off the bed and ran to find a place to hide. In the morning his parents found him sleeping under the bed. They were furious that he had disappeared; he tried to explain what had happened. He wasn’t able to prove it to them until a doctor confirmed it.

Soon after they decided to send Mel off to a “special” school, somewhere in Haiwii. He was more than ready to leave.

...connecting human to animal

[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
First off, it it undeniable that Mel is a cute, hamsters are adorable, also Mel adores small animals. Hamsters are clean creatures who can get stressed out if not in a stable environment. Mel is very domestic and fierce about his territory; he’s good with people but needs his space to be untouched. He’s also quite affectionate and easy to get along with. He’s certainly not a wild in any way. Being a hamster reflects his smallness and innocence.

"You shouldn't have done that... sending most of them out like that for one thing is just..."File thought better of it and groaned, swirling a bit of tea in his bowl. Apparently, he had made it from his own special blend of herbs to calm his nerves.

Vy ignored him, "I guess we'll never know~" she surveyed the few remaining members that she had selected to stay back. They we're silently muttering or sipping a bit of soup. "Pehhta... it is good."she mused.
There was a bit of an outcry outside the door- about 30 feet (3m) away from where Vy and File sat. The epicene's eyes moved in a languid fashion to the doorway, which had cracked open slightly.

+Anima senses told him this person was near, so Vy dropped his voice to a lazy tone and said loudly enough for the surrounding followers to hear, "It's here. Don't talk."

An odd sweetly-scented odor entered the room as the door opened and File gasped, covering his nose and mouth with his bowl-free hand. "I-it's a sedative." he said, his voice muffled, "like a chloroform. I recognize the scent."

Vy patted him on the head. It was good to have someone like him who could recognize such things. It was especially helpful when the natives would try and use their 'miasma' or 'bad air' to drive them out.

A boy stepped in the room, all eyes rested on him for an instant then moved away nervously. It was easy to tell he was out of place the way his face turned slightly upwards, observing the great cavern. All newcomers did that- it was simply natural.

All the same, Vy made a speedy attitude change and skipped up to him. "Hullo~!" she chirped. "I was so worried! Did you get it? Is everyone alright?" The smell or the sleep-inducing concoction was heavy on the boy's stolen clothing (which was somewhat to large for him anyway). The dark haired child pushed her hat up a little so she could properly look up to meet him in the eye, then cracked a smile. "You must be hungry! Let's eat!" She wrapped her heavily tattooed arm around his lax arm and dragged him towards the mat.

There was a tiny clatter from somewhere on the boy's person- that confirmed it. Only issued weapons were to be carried, he had something that was loose, therefore illegal. Vy giggled a bit to herself, "Naughty~" she tittered without really knowing what she was saying, "Silly naughty children~"
