OOC: So who exactly is this Melaka Fray anyhow?
Everything you need to know about Melaka Fray
Melaka Fray is a thief and the first vampire slayer to be "called" in over two centuries. Demons were banished from the Earth at some point in the 21st century by an unnamed Slayer and her friends, and the Watchers' Council has descended into a group of crazed fanatics who generally like to set themselves on fire than try and train the newest slayer.
The vampires, now dubbed lurks, and other demons have returned to haunt the city of Haddyn. With the Watchers' Council ineffective, a group of "neutral" demons send Urkonn (a sarcastic demon with horns, goat legs and part of his face missing) to prepare Melaka Fray for the war that is to surely come.
Unlike the slayers before her, Mel is missing the visions and instinctive knowledge that should have been hers. Instead those visions and instincts have been passed on to her twin brother, Harth, who has been turned into a vampire and is now leading the lurks to bring back hell on earth. (Yes. That old nut.)
Mel does her best to resist the teachings of Urkonn and avoid fighting in general until she finds the body of her young friend, a mutant girl named Loo, with her neck snapped. Determined to avenge her, Mel rallies the inhabitants of the slums and puts aside her differences with her older sister and the local law enforcement to fight against the lurks.
When the battle is said and done, the apocalypse is prevented, Mel kills Urkonn (who actually killed Loo to motivate Melaka) and Mel continues on her journey of self-discovery. She even ends up finding an abandoned Watcher library where she learns more about the past lives of various slayers.

Where I stray from Canon:
In canon, Mel is 19. In the game Mel will be 17. Otherwise everything else above has happened to her.
As for how she gets to FH? Well I'll be posting that shortly before her appearance in the game.
Abilities and Stuff
Mel has the standard abilities of a slayer: Increased strength, speed, agility and healing. She does seem to have a problem dodging girders and tends to land on her face when she jumps off a 30 story building.
Her fighting skill is less martial arts and more bar room brawler, relying more on her natural abilities than technique.
Mel is also a master thief, able to break into most high security systems to get what she wants. Usually she gets her jobs from Gunther who is... well pretty much a fish. In FH she will probably ply her trade from time to time on any willing businesses willing to let me burglarize their shops. Most of the equipment she uses in her thieving trade will be brought with her to FH.
Mel also uses an energy gun of some sort, which she mostly uses to blind or disable her opponents. She also will have the "scythe" that Buffy used in the later episodes of season season in BTVS.
Appearance
Mel is just over five feet tall and typically wears a t-shirt, slacks and heavy duty boots. She has dark hair with violet/purple highlights on the ends.
Personality
Mel is the typical "tough as nails" type of personality with a soft spot for those people who can't help themselves. As a professional thief turned slayer, she still uses her slayer abilities to get what she wants though she won't turn away from anyone who needs help. In canon she has gone as far to protect and steal medicine for Loo whenever she needs it.
Even after doing a big battle against her brother and the lurks, Mel still works as a professional thief in order to keep food on the table. That will probably change once she learns a few lessons while at Fandom high.
