He works out daily, with many exercises to strengthen body and weapon prowess. His prime concern is to be as much of a help to those around him as he can.He is driven to make other people's lives as comfortable as possible.From an early age, he was instilled by his mother an intense edict to "play nice" and be liked by all those around him."Don't you WANT those people to like you, Melvos? How are you going to get anywhere in life if people don't like you?"He has grown up to be an over-grown Boy Scout, helping anyone, even if they have proven to take advantage of him in the past.He will constantly see the good in a person if they but even give lip service to being his friend.His low Intelligence and Wisdom (especially for a Cleric/Paladin) contributes to this almost-pathological condition of having to be liked by everyone he meets.He constantly agonizes over his decisions, and whether he is doing enough for the people in his life.He guzzles the medeival equivalent of Maalox like it's water.In his relationships with women (he's quite popular with the ladies due to his inability to say no to them and his good looks and charm), they walk all over him and he tends to attract those that would take advantage of his excessive compassion.Yes, you could say Melvos is pu$$y-whipped.  A genuinely "Nice Guy", his manner and voice are very gentle (when not in combat). He naturally knows how to cook, since that fits right in line with how he can be better liked by people, and making things more comfortable for them. He also feels very comfortable with animals, and they are naturally affected by Melvos' inner strength. Animals don't look to take advantage of Melvos' kindness, and most of the time they don't walk all over him. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />He will fight to defend others, and protect innocent people against evil.Not because evil is bad, necessarily, but because evil people tend to be inconsiderate and rude, and make life uncomfortable for good people. If an evil person truly expresses a desire to change, he will ALWAYS be a sucker for it.Along those lines, he wields Shields in battle, not quite as deadly or offensive-natured as a sword. With a shield attack, he can batter opponents around with his special shield bash ability, hopefully knocking sense into his opponents (while simultaneously knocking them into his friends, hopefully gaining AoO's in the process). As he has grown in power, Melvos has mastered the Shield style and is now quite feared (by those who have seen him in battle : he still thinks he's not good enough) for his damage-dealing capabilities. He respects the power and nobility of the lion, and tries to emulate them in his fighting style.While easily duped in social situations, Melvos is a holy terror in combat, and if forced will kill if the opponent truly is beyond recovery. His humble, almost meek demeanor, is betrayed by his fierce Rages and Roars in battle which have been known to send entire opposing squads running in fear.*based off of Melvin in The Big Hit (played by Mark Wahlberg)...</blockquote>
