Melodians
Arguably the whimsical of all the races. the Melodians were created by the goddess ♪♣•☺☻○¶♥◘ in the hopes that they might bring the light of imagination and joy into the world where bleakness and futility were prevalent. What resulted was the biggest organization of fan-fiction authors known to man. Still, they generally emulate their intended purpose perfectly - showy, artsy, imaginative, and generally quite charismatic and positive. Where there is joy, however, a darker side often lies beneath... the race is certainly not without vices.

Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
On Catfolk - "They are reliable and fair trade partners. A bit humorless and shrewd at times, but they are motivated and charismatic. We should strive to learn from them and their exploits."
On Elves - "Our sister race and our trusted allies. They have the minds that bring our higher exploits into fruition, and we have nothing but respect and appreciation for them. ...That doesn't mean we do not thumb our noses at their sullen and sarcastic way of being from time to time, as they do towards our zest for life. It is all in good fun."
On Hadies - "We owe our existance to their friendship, and our duty is to protect and nurture them. Crimes against them will be met with severe prejudice and hate from us. They are kind creatures and they do not deserve the world's cruelty."
