Melvin

"I'm sorry to bust in, but you said your friend went missing?" - An unknown myth hunter questioning a player about Melvin.Melvin is a popular Myth who is known for their creepy story and association with Roblox's Myths and Kazdam. It was originally created by Tinfoilbot but was popularized and reinvented into a story about dead ROBLOX user. 
== Biography ==
=== Original Story ===
The original story of Melvin is quite simple, it being that a boy named Melvin died on 11th of February, 2008, and he was later reincarnated into a Shaggy accessory using a transparent gray texture. This accessory was paranormal and was able to be found in a Roblox game, flying around yet not attacking the player. 
=== Kazdam Story ===
Legend has it, once a year, a random player will be teleported to a pitch black place instead of the original game they requested to join. Inside said place, there will be a transparent “ghost” shaggy, that speaks to and taunts the player. The player will not be able to close out the game, and after a short time, will crash. After crashing, the user will have a transparent shaggy in their inventory named “Melvin”. In 2007, a user named Melvin, was a very popular guy, with many players knowing his name and were friends with him. He died from cancer in 2008, and Roblox made a transparent ghost shaggy in his honor. However, it was deleted shortly after. No one knows why exactly Roblox deleted this memorial hat, but it is believed they thought the idea of a “ghost” themed hair piece was offensive. Rumors spread that Melvin craved the attention, and his ghost was angered, so he takes the life of one other child every year.
== History ==
Despite what many say, Melvin was created in November 2013 by Tinfoilbot. No records of Melvin pre-2013 have been found and most early posts of Melvin credit Tinfoilbot for the creation of it. Tinfoilbot's video was created on the 17th of November, 2013. After this on the 19th of November, the most popular version of Melvin's game was created by Maximum_ADHD, although this game is now private for unknown reasons. 
Later on in 2014, Kazdam reinvented the Melvin story, turning it into a more serious myth about a ROBLOX veteran dying and becoming a ghost which haunts the platform. Kazdam also went on to make his own Melvin game, which has attained a massive 133k+ visits since it's creation. 
Since this, Melvin has continued to be popular, having many resurgences over the many years since it's creation.
