Melanie Allen, or Mel as she was known as former 80s rock star to now infamous terrorist, is one of the most notorious and recognizable members of the anarchist terrorist group, the Fallen Founders.

Her current appearance to be alert of...A back-length wavy, white-faded blonde hair. Eye bags. Faded green-white eye. A worn black set of a closed cropped armored leather jacket, A tactical corset, biker boots, leather pants, and a ballistic mask that shows only her left eye. She generally has belts of shotgun shells wrapped around her torso and mask.

Melanie was born in Australia, taking a liking to acoustic guitar and later rock music. After an audition that she had passed at age 17, she was given an opportunity to become a rock star in America. Mel gladly accepts this life despite her family's mixed feelings. She flew to America and was taken in by record label, Gibson Records.

Melanie was then known as Mel, posing as a rebellious biker chick with a jet-black electric guitar that matches her leather jacket, revealing top, and leather pants. She was one of the rock icons throughout the 80s. At the time where most of the rock culture were mostly male, Mel was brought into a niche of an all-female glam metal band, Desert Daisies, where she is assigned as lead guitarist and accompanying vocalist. Geri is the front woman, May is the drummer, and Patricia is the bass guitarist. Mel, acting as the biker chick, often shows up in a jet-black motorcycle and carting her members anywhere in shows, music videos and album covers. While Desert Daisies had done good, having generally well relationships among band members and playing it safe for their fans, there were multiple drama and scandals typical of rock stars in the 1980s: legal troubles, narcotics, sex allegations, vandalism and Melanie showboating and taking the spotlight from the front woman, Geri. Melanie had apologized to Geri for stealing the show, but it was too late as Gibson Records had favored Mel's antics and repurposed her as the front man, demoting the angered Geri into backing vocals. This had put both Mel and Geri into trouble as Mel can't sing and Geri can only play acoustic guitar.

Gibson Records, wanting to bring more notoriety and sales to Desert Daisies, encouraged Mel and her peers to be as wild, reckless and scandalous, offering them more wealth and give them hard drugs to give them a head start. Progressively, this had turned the Desert Daisies into insanity. They had played and behaved wildly. Mel's singing became deranged, and she May smash her guitar in pieces, even in rehearsals. Geri's singing became emotional to the point of having mental breakdowns. May's drumming was described as “an angry monkey trying to die by bashing its head in trash cans.” Patricia was fading in and out of her mind thanks to narcotics. Despite these new problems, the Desert Daisies had made exceptional if experimental albums, possibly a factor of creating a niche music genre. Almost every concert they had played on had chaotic elements but in terrible ways: riots, gruesome acts done by the Desert Daisies themselves, and audience deaths.

The final rehearsal before the band's disbandment was in 1987. May bled to unconsciousness as she violently beats her frail hands on her drum set, her fingers reduced to stumps. This horrific sight had given Patricia a fatal heart attack. As May was brought away by ambulance, Geri began to have a mental breakdown and mistakenly blamed Mel for ruining the band. Mel, hard drugs in her system and already aggressive, engaged Geri in a physical fight, sealing the fate of the Desert Daisies. Word had quickly gone out about this tragic event. Sensational new aggregates had accused Mel of ruining the band, labeling her as the “Metal Killer,” assuming that she had killed the 80s rock scene.

Gibson Records, realizing the measure of this event, had covered their mistakes of their part in influencing the Desert Daisies. They had fired Mel and left her on her own in America. Although rich, Mel has squandered half of her money away for drugs, eventually reducing to prostitution. However, in one sexual session, a sadistic male client had unexpectedly slashed her face, cutting a Glasgow smile on her right cheek that reaches up to disable her right eye. This has alerted police to arrest the man and sent the crying Mel to be stitched. Although this had reached local news, no reporter had mentioned that Mel used to be a rock star. No one had knew Mel for what she used to be anymore, becoming a shell of herself. Her old, withered look despite her age had not helped her. She was forgotten. Her family and relatives had no longer associated with her. The 90s had no place for an 80s rock star-turned abrasive junkie.

Exiting the hospital, Mel had decided to lay low and look for shelter. She was tired of hating and feeling sorry for herself. She began to have seething thoughts about the flawed system in the record industry that had screwed her and her band over. Eventually, she came to a peculiar homeless shelter, a strange place that has blue and red cloth stretched about and “staff” being heavily armed and militant for some reason. At the sight of the former rock star, the armed people had welcomed Mel under their wing. Mel had realized that this homeless shelter was overtaken by the Fallen Founders, an infamous anarchist army hellbent on taking down impure governments, figure and corporations. Mel couldn't care less being in a domestic terrorist group; she only wants to have her life back together. Over the years, Mel began to recover with the help of the army, having a healthier lifestyle and staying off drugs and eventually her addiction through makeshift rehab from the Fallen Founders. She looks just like her former rock star self, although worn yet mature, donning a menacing set of armored leather. The Fallen Founders had empathized with Mel and agreeing that Gibson Records had ruined her career and life, believing that she and the army has common enemies. Mel transitioned from a loud violent drug addicted washout rock legend into a quiet, disciplined soldier with ruthless fighting prowess thanks to the Fallen Founder's training and their way of turning her hate into fuel. She is still suffering from mental damage thanks to her previous drug use, but she more or less is capable of controlling herself, especially in combat and motorcycle riding.

Mel had legitimately become what she had posed as a rock star, a rebellious biker chick. Influenced by the Fallen founder's teachings, her new purpose now is to take down all record labels as revenge. She had replaced the electric guitar with a double barrel shotgun, both equally loud and able to make the crowd scream.
