Mel is your average neardy high school kid, on the outside. He is super smart and very determined. He is not the best with women but is far from shy. He has his eyes set on Atlanta and Georgia is there to make it happen. Mel is based on Melanion from Greek mythology. Melanion or to some sources Hippomenes, fell in love wwith Atalanta and wanted to marry her, byt knew he could not beat her. So he called on Aphrodite, the love goddess, for assistance. Mel is a cool guy. I would go out with you Mel. He wore glasses the first time I drew him (LOVE GLASSES), but I desided to take them out. If I draw another story about these guys, I think I'll have him wear them when he reads or something.
