I'd like to get used to the Changeling game (which is why Melissa's background is weighted heavily in the direction of mortal rather than fae affairs).  Melissa is not the sort to provoke much combat (although it could happen); most of her interactions are likely to be the pleasant kind.<br/><br/>2. Melissa wants to finish college, to become a professional singer, and to generally enjoy life to the fullest.  And to make new friends -- you can never have too many friends.<br/><br/>3. Adventure.  Plenty of sex -- Melissa's set of Merits practically demands it.<br/><br/>4. I believe Ajoxer was interested in having his character (when completed) co-exist with mine, a potentially amusing situation if ever there was one.  (The presence of a stronger fighter could make combat a more reasonable option, too.)<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Please people, keep in mind that I do not have access to anything more then the core changeling book. I do not know what the Aphrodisa Art is, or your treasure, or a number of your merits (though I can guess). Please list the mechanics of ANYTHING not in the Core.<br/><br/>Who are Melissa's parents? What do they do? Any brothers and sisters? Is there any place she practices singing regularly? What are her thoughts about her Unseelie ruler? About the rash increase in Nerosis in the area?
