## Mythology

Melosea is the Omnitrix transformation of the Wasca. The Wasca are a race of omnivorous bipedal 4-armed amphibian-like aliens ranging in size from 5’ 4” to 6’ 5” for males and 5’ 7” to 7’ 3” for females. Hailing from the luscious blue planet Teish, their planet, unlike Earth, does not simply possess one large ocean but rather several hundred small pond-like oceans scattered throughout the planet with each ocean being seen as its own individual nation. In each of these small oceans are several massive underwater cities, in which the Wasca live their days in peace. With an average lifespan of 200 to 250 Earth years, they spend most of their time hunting the local aquatic life for the massive parties that they perform. These parties are said to be the best in the galaxy due to the amazing musical talent that these frogs possess. With an almost supernatural understanding of music, they’re able to figure out how to make music with basically anything without much effort. This immense talent has allowed music to become more a form of personal expression rather than a show of skill in their society, though that doesn’t mean they aren’t always trying to improve themselves. But thanks to this, it has allowed them to gain a rather progressive view on the subject. The Wasca even possess several specific songs and tunes that represent various concepts and ideas to the point of them being viewed similarly to Earth's deities. This natural talent and belief system has allowed them to develop a wide range of genres and musical styles, which has resulted in their music being favored by all walks of life. Many inhabitants of the universe have even declared them some of the greatest musicians of all time, with the majority of their songs becoming humongous hits on the galactic extranet.

During the beginning stages of their introduction into the universe, however, this talent actually caused them a bit of trouble. Upon the galaxy's discovery of their musical talent, thousands of intergalactic record companies flocked to Teish to make a profit off these musically genius amphibians. With the promise of spreading their music to the galaxy and funds to help with the expansion and growth of their homeworld, hundreds of Wasca agreed to the terms of these visitors and set out throughout the galaxy. But the cruel cutthroat environment of the galactic music industry is something even these musically energetic amphibians were woefully unprepared for. Though many were lucky to avoid this fate, many more Wasca were tricked into signing contracts that put them through what could only be described as slave labor. Even the Wasca who were masters of their field, could barely keep up with the competitive and demanding nature of the industry. Especially since music in Wasca society had never been seen as something that ever required such a mindset. The Wasca often chant the words “Wasca, Wasca, oota eata ora!” whenever they're partying or simply having a good time. The chant translates as “Wasca, Wasca, we sing with joy!” it is said so often by their people, many believe it is a code by which they live. They believe that music no matter what kind, whether rebellious, sorrowful, or frightening should always be sung with joy or at the very least be a form of catharsis to the singer. But within this grueling environment, being forced to make song after song these Wasca began to lose that sense of joy. But that's nothing compared to those who were kidnapped and sold into literal slavery, taking advantage of their musical talent and deadly neurotoxin slave traders were able to market them as personal musicians/assassins, many dying as a result because of this weather being beaten by there cruel masters, dying during missions or simply forcibly overworked.

Luckily, thanks to the efforts of the legendary Galvan lawyer Chadzmuth releasing them from their contracts, and the Plumbers using their resources to find and rescue the enslaved Wasca this isn't as much of an issue anymore. However, the scars of these events still remain to this day, with the planet undergoing a massive debate on whether to become an isolated system. But with the fiends responsible for the immense suffering of their people still at large, along with the many other terrors of the stars, many citizens are in support of this decision with a group of radicals known as the Solo Symphony being the most extreme and vocal supporters. Thankfully, there is enough opposition to the movement to prevent it from going into full effect, which is what has allowed the debate to continue for as long as it has. Referring to themselves as the Cosmic Chorus, this opposition is what keeps the planet debate raging on with not only supporters from Teish itself but also the many other inhabitants of the universe who had been touched by their music. Though they can not erase the actions of the past, the Cosmic Chorus seeks to educate the planet's citizens about the galaxy and its inhabitants and show the Wasca what they will both ultimately lose and even risk if they go through with the isolation. Receiving massive funding from many intergalactic powerhouses such as the Plumbers and even the newly formed Dreadwind Empire, the Cosmic Chorus are currently succeeding in their efforts.

But, with such an unstable political environment that's sadly all they can do without risking any negative outcomes which has led to accusatory remarks from the Solo Symphony about them being cowardice and puppets for outsider interest. Thankfully a music-loving species known as the Chiroptera Ludwi, a race of bat-like aliens from the planet Classicermani, have taken a more active role in their support of the Chorus and have migrated to the planet's land mass in order to build a favorable relationship with the locals. The Chiroptera Ludwi consider themselves brothers in song with the Wasca and are extremely dedicated to preventing their unique voice from being muted by their fear and hate. With so many now living on the planet, they hope to use this as a tether on the hearts of the Wasca, as they would be forced to leave if the planet were to ever become isolated. Whether or not this plan will ultimately affect what happens next remains to be seen, for now, it is truly uncertain when the songs of love and joy will finally return to the waters of Teish.

## History

### Before 5 Years Later

* Ben first transformed into Melosea during an escort mission of a very famous Wasca music group who were performing a galactic music tour in order to disprove the beliefs of the Solo Symphony. When Ben transformed into his Wasca form, one of the band members immediately shouted out "Melosea!" stating he had thought about what Ben’s Wasca name should be for some time. Ben found the name fitting and decided to stick with it.
