Melisende, known to all but her closest friends and family as "Melissa," was born to an old guard Templar family. Her great great uncle was Cecil Rhodes, diamond magnate, British colonialist, Prime Minister of the Cape Colony in South Africa, and founder of the country of Rhodesia, the Round Table Group, and the Rhodes Scholarship. For a century and a half, the Rhodes family has been a loyal part of the global Templar organization, contributing money to the coffers and family members to the Secret War. But although there are several exciting and adventurous Rhodes in the family line, Melissa's parents were more stay-at-home types, preferring to contribute to the Templar cause by throwing expensive charity galas and writing large checks every Easter.

Melissa grew up with enormous privilege, and with the high and mighty of the Templar community passing regularly in and out of the family home. She displayed intelligence and curiosity from an early age; for example, when her parents were distracted (which was most of the time) she worked her way through their occult library, experimenting with spells and rituals which no adolescent had any business reading. Her parents finally discovered this in her 14th year when she crafted a love spell which went awry, leaving a handsome young man naked in Temple Court trying to hump a parking meter.

It was decided Melissa would be groomed for a research position, and at the age of 18 she was sent to Domdaniel College, Oxford.

How did your character become part of the Secret World, and what have they been up to since then?

If your character existed in TSW (The Secret World) before coming to SWL (Secret World Legends) -- how do you treat the transition? Are they exactly the same? Did they suffer memory loss? Are they some 'alternate reality' version of themselves?

Everyone knows someone. What groups, people, friends, and relatives does your character have ties to? Would other characters know them from a favorite hangout or a particular organization?

Are they demon-possessed? A skilled Elementalist? Want to describe their awesome powers or trademark equipment they always carry? This is the place to do it.
