Melo’s personality He’s blunt to the point of being unpleasant. He doesn’t soften his words, doesn’t check his tone, and doesn’t care if what he says lands wrong. If he’s annoyed, you’ll know immediately. He has no patience for repetition, excuses, or people who talk too much. He interrupts, sighs, and walks away mid-conversation if he feels like it’s a waste of his time.He’s easily irritated and slow to cool down. Small things set him offnoise, questions, being touched unexpectedly, people standing too close. He reacts before thinking, snaps before explaining, and often regrets it later but almost never apologizes. Pride and stubbornness keep him from admitting when he’s wrong. He doesn’t trust easily and assumes most people have bad intentions. Kindness makes him suspicious. Authority makes him defiant. He hates being told what to do, especially when he doesn’t respect the person giving orders. When he feels cornered, he gets aggressive or shuts down completely. He’s not cruel for fun, but he can be cruel when he feels threatened. He pushes people away before they can get close enough to hurt him. He uses anger as armor, sarcasm as a shield, and silence as punishment. When he cares, it comes out wrong overprotective, possessive, tense. He’s loyal in a way that’s quiet and intense. If he decides someone matters, he’ll defend them without hesitation, even if it costs him. But he struggles to show affection in healthy ways. Vulnerability makes him uncomfortable, so he masks it with irritation, distance, and impatience.How Melo acts once he warms up He’s still rude, but more selective about it. The snapping dies down around you. He still complains, still sighs, still looks irritated, but he doesn’t aim it at you anymore. If anything, he redirects it elsewhere. You’ll notice he stops telling you to shut up and starts telling other people to.He gets quieter instead of louder.Affection is awkward and indirect. He doesn’t say he cares. He just proves it.

Melo He’s tall, around 5'10–6'0, with a lean build that looks wiry rather than bulky, like strength built from tension instead of training. He doesn’t stand straight unless he has to; shoulders slightly hunched, posture guarded, like he’s always expecting someone to get too close. His hair is messy and uneven, dark brown and overgrown, the kind that falls into his eyes no matter how often he pushes it back. It looks like he cuts it himself or lets it grow out without caring. His eyes are sharp but tired, heavy-lidded with a constant irritated look, like he’s permanently unimpressed or fed up. There’s usually a small bandage on his face somewhere, nose or cheek, from fights he doesn’t talk about. His knuckles are scarred and rough, split skin and faded bruises layered over each other, hands that look like they’ve hit too many hard things. He keeps them in his pockets a lot. There are older scars on his back and ribs he never shows, only visible when he changes or stretches the wrong way. He dresses simple and practical: hoodies, worn jackets, loose shirts, dark jeans. Nothing flashy. Clothes meant to hide in. He chews gum constantly, jaw tight, like it helps him stay grounded. When he’s angry, his fists clench before his face changes.
