Marik Ishtar and Melvin

===Backstory===
Marik joined Team Rocket, after he returned to Celadon from Sara's fort with Bakura. Prior to that, he was commander of the Steves of the Microsoft Software and Weapons Company.
During his childhood, Marik's father beat him and called him mean names. He also destroyed everything Marik ever loved, such as his Xbox. This led to the creation of Melvin, Marik's second personality and alter ego, who was made to give Marik the hugs he never received. After Melvin murdered their father, Marik used the Millennium Rod to try and obtain the Egyptian God Cards, through use of the Rare Hunters, his personal army of mind-controlled guys (and the rare woman), all named Steve.
After manipulating Celebi into taking him to the past, Melvin enacted his master plan to destroy all doors that would ever dare to stand in his way.
===Appearance===
Marik is skinny and feminine. He has light blond hair, which occasionally appears grey, and usually wears clothing which shows off his midsection. When Melvin takes over, a millennium marking appears on his forehead, and he obtains crazy spike-a-delic hair that could rival Yugi himself. Melvin prefers to wear angsty dark colors and cool capes.
As The Advisor, Marik/Melvin tend to wear snazzy clothes that make him look pretty. He wears his hair longer so it blows dramatically in the breeze, but it often just gets in his face at inopportune times. Melvin causes his hair to move around on its own reminicent of snakes.
===Personality===
Marik is an incompetent, wimpy, bumbling teenage villain. Although he reads Yaoi, Marik has claimed not to be gay. He is horribly afraid of snakes, and also bees. Recently however, Marik has started to get over his fears through training his Ekans and Beedrill, with occasional relapses. He has a gambling addiction, and is constantly broke. Not only that, but Marik is incompetent at using computers, having broken Bakura's multiple times.
While both Marik and Melvin are evil, Marik's idea of evil is pranking people and challenging them to children's card games. Melvin, on the other hand, has a love of chainsaws and 'hugs' as weapons of mass destruction.
Melvin has sadistic and masochistic tendencies, and is fond of mindrape. He is controlling, and dislikes being ordered around, seeing others as playthings with which to do as he pleases. He has had dealings with most factions in the RP, and his allegiance to any is questionable at best.
===Abilities===
Marik is the wielder of the Millennium Rod, an ancient Egyptian artifact, and one of the Millennium Items. It is able to perform such psionic feats as telekinesis and mind control. These abilities are restricted for Marik, only being able to influence the minds of those who are legally named Steve. The 'Steve' can be anywhere in their name, first, middle, or last, but it has to be there and has to be official. He can speak telepathically with other non-Steves through much concentration, but cannot in any way control them.
Melvin is able to reach the full capabilities of the Rod, from telekinesis to unrestricted mind control. He is also skilled in using chainsaws and other melee weapons.
