Profile


Species Cannon Version:

"Meláni survived the fall from grace. The Nen you once rejected is dead. Now, drink of the wine of the wrath of God and take responsibility for killing him."

Personality: Nen was formerly Meri and Visura's best friend, however he had a secret. He was the very definition of a yandere. He had known Meri and Visura since they were children even growing up among them after he had moved at a young age to live with the community of Xylons that the brother and sister duo had been born in. Nen was adopted as an elder brother to the two who welcomed him with open arms. He had become very attached to them both and was extremely protective of them, especially Meri who he had developed romantic feelings for early on in their teenage years. He had been opposed to welcoming Ceto when the younger Xylon had moved into their community and was immediately gravitated towards by Meri and Visura causing a pang of jealousy to swell inside him. However, eventually even he began to warm up to Ceto and became just as protective and kindhearted towards the younger male that he felt he could relate with and after seeing that he did not have to feel "replaced" by his presence despite the flirty personalities shared by Meri and Ceto. It seems that Ceto is the only one he overlooks being close to Meri besides Visura (and the Lunaith babies, Pochai and Biisai, that they all raised together). In summary, Nen is a gentle, kind and protective big brother type with a dark murderous side filled with insecurity and jealousy. After the feeling of rejection consumes him when Meri began a relationship with Khasis, Nen abandons his name and the person he once was giving way to Meláni. Though Meláni still has some of Nen's former traits, he is more ruthless and unforgiving having given into his insanity and becoming increasingly unstable. His former self having only killed those that got close to Meri, but now his murderous intentions have risen to pure sadism and pleasure in just killing to kill someone with not an ounce of regret in sight. There are some redeeming qualities that still exist in his broken state but his past politeness has now become more of a mask than it had been previously and is used to get closer to his victims. He holds a deep grudge towards Khasis and an obsession towards Meri as he desperately clings to a hope that one day Meri will accept him and, as he believes is fated to happen, perhaps fall in love with him instead. Even if it requires a mountain of corpses....

 

Notes:

His companion Xybun's name is Darya which in Persian can mean "The Sea".

He has a love interest for Meri but due to the detective's oblivious nature about romantic feelings it is completely one sided and Nen had always been friend zoned because of this. Meri has always thought of Nen as more of an older brother figure, making it difficult for him to feel the same way that he feels towards Meri. It was because of Meri's negligence towards his feelings and flirtatious nature that not only did Nen get exiled but also reborn as Meláni... Nen had developed a love for Meri when they were around the age of twenty (equivalent to 13 years old in human years), though Meri had still not developed enough to have any romantic feelings towards anyone. It wasn't until around the age of fourty (young adult ages in human years for growth maturity), that he finally began to develop an interest in others for more intimate encounters. Nen had devoted himself to winning over Meri's affections having been patient for twenty years as he waited for Meri to begin to mature as he did and start pursuing romantic relationships. He convinced himself that they were destined to fall in love with each other and by extension of this he went out of his way to prove his love to his childhood friend who remained oblivious to his attempts. Nen felt that he was the rightful "inheritor" of Meri's tenderness because of his unconditional loyalty and forbearance. Once Meri had become old enough to start having these same feelings that Nen hoped to share with him it began to turn into random flings with others due to the the Xylon's flirtatious nature. This resulted in an unusual tolerance but a new formed habit of routine murder of those that slept with Meri and made it look like they had all gone missing. He realized he had gotten lucky with the first one, so he began to plan more thoroughly for the next victims. Using his magical talents he hid himself from detection. However, after about the ninth victim a trend was noticed in the missing persons cases, and Meri had discovered the victims were his close acquaintances. Over the course of the next six years Meri compiled evidence and with a heavy heart narrowed down the suspect to be someone very close to him. Nen had to be held on trial which only further enraged him causing him to lash out in the court reef. During the trial Nen felt the ultimate sting of betrayal as Meri took the stand as a key witness for the prosecution. The outburst along with the evidence presented resulted in the trial proceeding hastily with the judge returning with an exile verdict and being the final breach of faith. His hopes and dreams trampled further upon seeing an unfamiliar Xylon approach Meri and wrapping comforting arms about his shoulders. It was the last twist of the knife that caused pain to sear through every fiber of Nen's existence shutting him down and corrupting his soul gem and the immediate meltdown to follow and Meláni was reborn.

Meláni has unusual abilities that include not only the summoning of various creatures to aid him in battle but also to transmutate anything for his own purposes, though his specialty was the transmutation of water. He most commonly transmutes water into liquid mercury which he uses as a whip or arrow heads. He also very commonly transmutes water into ink and uses it to either escape or conceal himself. Recently, Meláni has been researching how to summon demons and is probably the "Dark Summoner" Haruki had mentioned to Pochai upon first meeting him (in fact, mistaking Pochai for him). These details have yet to be confirmed...

The area that Visura and Meri live is very close to the dockside of a local tavern. Here many rowdy sailors frequent making them a prime target food source for their Xylon community. Due to the fact that Nen tended to frequent the dockside late a night, it is believed that he had perhaps tasted the forbidden fruit of negative emotions that led him to his more notorious side of murdering for those he loved so dearly.

Raised Pochai and Biisai from small larvae with Meri and Visura. He had taken Biisai under his wing fins and taught him the ways of archery and befriending animals. The two were very close in the past before Nen was exiled and had become demonized.

Nen abandoned his name upon demonization and renamed himself Meláni. He does NOT have a split personality, his mind has just become more unstable than it had been previously and he no longer holds any kind of reservations in regards to killing.

Due to his inky melting condition his health seems to be constantly depleting and he is in ever existent pain because of this. His wrist wing fins have melted completely off.
