—Mellan's catchphrase/One-liner

—Mellan

**Mellan the ghost** is an original character designed by Frostbite\_Carno. Mellan the ghost resides in the *Ghastly Ghosties* universe.

In this world, ghosts can live in a second dimension that's a bit like limbo, but they can still do pretty much everything else humans do. However, there's some exceptions. Such as having to go to the bathroom, aging, sicknesses, procreate in any way, they can't totally interact with anything in the mortal realm, all that. they can still eat and drink if they want, but they don't really need to. Even as ghosts, they all retain their sense of taste. Double-however, depending on how an individual died, the cause of said death might follow into the afterlife, much like being born with a disability. There's no society or anything for ghosts, they all just "live" normally alongside each other.

## Biography

Mellan was a college student and aspiring marine biologist and one summer took a job working at an aquarium but he had an asshole of a boss who overworked him, causing him to become sleep-deprived, causing him to be alot more clumsy and unaware of his surroundings, and accidently fall into the electric eel enclosure due to drowsiness on a late night shift but before he was able to get himself out, he got fried to death by said eels. he woke up dead, his lifeless body just floating in the water, horrified, he went around looking for help, but it was too late. and spent about the next week kinda just wondering around the human world, panicked, lost and confused. He did end up visiting his own funeral to say by to his old life. Later that day he sat down at the cemetery, his face buried in his hoodie, his eyes shut tight and sobbing, scared and not knowing what do to. When he was finally able to get himself to stop crying, he open his eyes again, and next thing he knew, he found himself in a void of darkness, surrounded by millions of other colorful spirits and wraiths, all bearing injuries, scars, scowls, broken backs, black eyes, and many other wordless stories engraved in their persons.

## Appearance

#### **Human Form**

In life, Mellan was a young, caramel skinned, feminine male with freckles, hazel-green eyes, and an afro with red hair. he usually wore hoodies coupled with either shorts or leggings and some fur boots.

#### **Ghost Form**

Having had died, Mellan now has translucent blue glowing skin, dark blue scleras, and light blue irises. he has a long ghost tail tipped with a lightning bolt, though he can turn his ghost tail into legs if he so pleases. He still has his red-head afro, but now sporting 3 lightning bolt shaped patterns running through it. he has sharp, lighting-rod shaped teeth, and a yellow lightning rod tipped tongue as well.

Mellan wears nothing but a hoodie. usually a black one that's orange at the top, black at the waist and arms, and green on the bottom and tips of the sleeves, with a big green four-leafed clover on the chest

#### Supercharged Form

When Mellan has stored a ridiculous amount of electrical energy in his body, for a limited time his colors changes from glowing blue to glowing yellow and his eyes change from blue to orange. He also possesses a golden aura with faint sparkles and electrical sparks.

## Personality

in terms of personality he's a little bit shy, but has a bubbly and cheery disposition when he's opened up. He likes bad jokes and has a habit of making terrible puns. He is also very clumsy, noted for finding ways to accidentally hurt himself or to drop random things. Regardless, he is a jokingly cunning individual who can trick others to get what he wants, usually always food, He still loves to eat and drink, even though he doesn't really *need* to anymore. He loves animals, sea life in particular, and that probably wont change. Lastly he has the quirky habit of electrical shocks coursing through him sporadically, or when he's feeling strong emotions or excited.

Despite his demeaner he suffers from depression and he uses jokes and optimism as a coping mechanism to get through the day and distract himself, in other words, he's *kinda* in denial about the whole thing. It's not like he's not aware that he's dead, he knows, but he is still coming to terms with the grim reality that yes, he has actually died, its over, and all the plans he had for his life will never come to fruition, even though it's been 3 years since he died though, its still a very hard pill to swallow. But one really would have no idea that he's depressed when interacting with him though, in fact Mellan himself doesn't even know he is depressed.
