SCYLLA-028

SCYLLA-028 is an elusive assassin that joined the G/NEX after realising that her defection has lead to her becoming a major target for PROJECT. Distinguished by her proclivity to operate alone since she felt more at ease confronting danger on her own, and her skills are geared to living out in the world alone, but she knew it won't be enough and became a loyal warrior of the resistance movement. 
Even though she was at odds with ASHE-159, she later reconciled with her and became a valuable ally, then a great friend, to the point where she honoured the late Ashe so greatly after the war. Not to mention, she has multiple infiltration efforts that upset the megacorporation and the main reason of her large bounty. 
She also got along with Zelina very well, as their personalities perfectly match as friends.
==Biography==
===Background===
Scylla was born and nurtured in the Naganta River, the Weeping Woods' greatest river. She doesn't recall much about his mother, other that she was hardworking and, like Sasha Galloway, overtired and underweight. She did, however, tell her some incredible stories. She was placed in an orphanage after her death. She joined the Guild of Thieves when she was six years old and quickly progressed through the ranks to become The Thief of Forester. Once she found where her mischievous master Kleisser had stolen all the goods, she was determined to assassinate her former master and competitor Maggie.
Abandoning the Guild of Thieves and her title of a thief, Scylla now strikes alone, ready to be the deadly weapon the people of Valenthia needs. Though she holds onto all she learned from her master Kleisser, she has pledged to defend Valenthia from its enemies, one kill at a time. She may strike in silence, but her message will be heard loud and clear: fear the assassin with no master.
As she operates alone in Valenthia, she comes across a woman named Aubrey, who alone gave her a direction in life. She is now a warrior in her own right, thanks to joining the "Rebellion," which was established from a bounty hunting guild thanks to Melvin Djorek. As a member, she is an assassin who uses the forests to her advantage to kill unsuspecting and suspecting foes alike. Even in the face of supernatural forces, Scylla is capable of handling her own, after discovering the "Lifetaker," a knife powered by the very nature of the forest itself, which counters the evil elemental power of darkness itself. It has been her mainstay weapon ever since, and many demons of darkness and hellfire itself has fallen through its blade.
===Foreboding Rivalry===
During the chaotic year of 2999, Scylla was fighting with fellow Rebellion warriors as they attempt to repel the megacorporation's forces in Valenthia. Magic was quite the match to PROJECT's superior numbers and technology, allowing them to hold their own in a fight, but their mages have been killed which weakened their forces. Valen forces also fell hard to their demise due to their primitive army and obsolete weaponry. That was the worst day of her life. And her fellow warriors, as she sees them getting slaughtered, one by one. 
Much to her chagrin, Craig Taggart was knocked out by GRIMM by dropping rubble on him, mostly debris that weigh excess a hundred tons. As she is left alone, the assassin relied on her survival and combat skills to survive, until she met GRIMM; Her eyes fuelled with rage, and lunges at him with her incredible speed. Who seems to be dressed in full armour. Scylla deployed her Lifetaker knife to attack him, but he either dodges or absorbs the hits due to his armour. GRIMM simply knocks her out with ease, and he carries her onto a dropship. Scylla quickly awakens in his grasp and attempts to kick or stab him, but her efforts are futile because she was sedated and brought to Brimstone, Freya.
=== PROJECT's Nefarious Infiltrator ===
Now known as SCYLLA-028, she refused all sorts of Cybernetics in return for light yet extremely superior armour and weapons, even kicking Frazier Lashley to the face that broke his nose with ease. Scylla has not seen active combat as a potential member, merely patrols as required by the executive board. She had embraced the megacorporation's principles before she cleverly ripped out the Brain Regulation Microchip on the back of her head. GRIMM, on the other hand, was keeping an eye on her mainly owing to the fact that they had nearly killed each other in training, which obviously sparked their rivalry to a whole new level, to the point wherein multiple Command Line soldiers would barricade each other to avoid brawls, particularly when both of them are unarmoured and seeks to fight. This is confirmed to be a daily occurrence in their Command Line fort.
It is unknown if she protested against their brutal agenda, but she is a cutting-edge PROJECT operative who somehow escaped Brimstone's boundaries; PROJECT SCYLLA brings dire warnings of an untested super-weapon to those living in the wasteland beyond. With time running out and no other options, finally decided to he infiltrated to gain insight an an attempt to take the mega corporation down... Knowing that GRIMM may find her betraying the megacorporation, she counteracts the suspicions performing her "duty" and conducting patrols in the Aryaine Kingdom to lessen the suspicion from her rival.
SCYLLA-028 had rediscovered the legend of Frost Archer, now known as ASHE-159, who leads the resistance, and she instantly sought to join the G/NEX resistance. Despite knowing her life on Valenthia and her personality, 159 welcomed SCYLLA-028 as the fifth member, following SHIRO-113, HAYABUSA-096 and FIONA-384. It took the Iceborn leader an entire conversation to accept her as a member, knowing she is rebellious, vicious, and has a propensity of going on missions alone; In fact, upon bringing her into their base, she is regularly watched by her, much to her annoyance.
=== A Call to Arms ===
ASHE-159 has heavily relied on SCYLLA-028's superior infiltration skills throughout A Call to Arms to obtain entry to SUPREME headquarters in Brimstone, Freya. Scylla's espionage and infiltration reveal a number of facts that the firm has kept hidden from the public. Among her amazing discoveries are the unfinished PROJECT TAGGART, the Titan-class mecha PROJECT OBELISK, and even notes on the ongoing construction of PROJECT ANNIHILATOR; and a giant screen displaying their profiles labelled as "traitors." When the rudimentary G/NEX resistance realised that BRIENNE-218, had been fighting a large number of PROJECT soldiers alone for two years, they saved the defector's life. 
As a result, BRIENNE-218 has been welcomed into the resistance by ASHE-159, HAYABUSA-096, SHIRO-113, EION-013, FIONA-384 and even her. They grant SCYLLA-028, who is anxious for new friends, her wish. She is also perplexed as to why VI-516 was not present throughout their stunt. She is now a highly respected rebel warrior, is the ultimately G/NEX's prime infiltration and assassin operative, preferring solo missions, using her speed, agility and skill to overwhelm her opponents, infiltrate before gaining any suspicion, but she is still capable enough of working effectively in a team. Rumours say she has the fighting spirit of a dragon, but this speculation has never been answered.
=== PROJECT-G/NEX War===
SCYLLA-028 was quick to penetrate beyond PROJECT's neon light ambition. She is certainly a force to be reckoned with on the battlefield as a highly respected assassin of ASHE-159's resistance movement, relying on her speed, agility, and skill to overwhelm all foes, regardless of strength or fighting skills. Because of her determination to operate alone, she and ASHE-159 frequently collide as a result.
==== Rampancy: Duality of an Assassin====
===== Involvement - Not As Expected =====
During the events of the global incident, SCYLLA-028 has again infiltrated various locations colonised by PROJECT. However, her reliance to infiltrate alone has been her massive downfall, after successfully breaking through MAXIMAL, NOVEMBER and SIGMA headquarters, she ended ended up facing PROJECT GRIMM in the country of Heliga. Knowing that 028 is a turncoat, he didn't waste time to chat and in order to attack her, claiming that he has waited for the perfect moment to kill her again. The rebellious assassin and the corporate hunter fought each other, which resulted in her losing the fight, mildly injured. She is saved by the last moment by FIONA-384. She even lashed at the duelist, not her own fight to be interfered, which later proved troublesome as they went back to their base.
ASHE-159 punished her for going alone, forcing her to only undertake team efforts rather than solo operations. She obliged and chose to join the operation after learning about the ongoing situation in Evalka. When they arrived in Technovolk, they saw OBELISK, a PROJECT Titan-class mecha, reducing the city to a gigantic mound of wreckage. As a result, they planned an attack against the mecha. Their attempts are, as feared, unsuccessful. Even FIONA-384's TRI/NETIC squad was unable to halt OBELISK, and the situation worsened when TAGGART arrived and attacked the mecha owing to his fury and flawed programming. Along with OBELISK and the maniac JINX-362, he effectively contributed to the amount of property damage destroyed thanks to TAGGART's intervention.
Seeing no other option, the resistance have ordered a retreat, and used BRONZAMITE-625 as their transportation, by turning into a car. After surviving a chase from PROJECT's forces, A woman clad in white armour leaped in the air, and further helped them escape from the pursuers by using her levitating blades to destroy the drones. Like pretty much everyone in the ride, they welcomed her. While almost away from the ruined city, RUBICORE launched an invasion force to liberate Technovolk. She was able to witness it and smiled by the fact that the resistance had an ally to fight the mega corporation. Notably, she dismissed the actions of VI-516 and JINX-362 even if they have stolen a MK6 Titan tank from the military, intending to keep it at base.
They all returned to their base alive, even with the tank, they managed to make a hangar for it and luckily have the necessary tools to maintain it.
===== Rampancy: Assassin and the Leader =====
The events of Rampancy have took a heavy toll on SCYLLA-028. As a result, she took an extended break from serving with the resistance, instead focusing on her hidden personal ambitions. As a result, ASHE-159 has kept a careful eye on her, fearing that her personal goals will derail the entire resistance movement. After the resistance group's huge operation, her personal goals was to communicate with PSYLOCKE-832 and build an alliance with COALESCENCE, presumably favouring the security company's greater intel and data. As a result, she avoids using her PROJECT gear to be discreet in her intentions, since the G/NEX can track their members thanks to the suits or cybernetic bodies having unremovable trackers.
However, the goals were quickly halted when Ashe caught Scylla in the act. The Frost Archer has quickly deduced that the Leaf Assassin must be taking a more stealthy and simpler method to completing her own objectives because they saw one other without any PROJECT armour, equipment, or weaponry. The resistance's leader and assassin have argued once more, as expected from the two. They talked over their principles before getting into a physical brawl. Scylla employed her hand-to-hand combat skills to a full advantage, although she ultimately loses due to Ashe's (surprisingly) significantly superior skills. The quarrel was settled after Ashe won the battle, and they have finally reconciled their differences.
Ashe also apologised for making her vomit due to her kick to the stomach. Scylla shows her stubborn attitude by not letting Ashe mend her bruises, but she later relents after realising what she has done, and asks for forgiveness. Unfortunately, PROJECT GRIMM saw them from a distance, but he failed to kill them. She states that she has seen that wretched hunter while they finished their brawl.
===== The COALESCENCE: Assassin Confrontation =====
She follows ASHE-159's lead on a new operation to compensate for her mistakes, to which she felt ultimately humbled by her loss. Even though the major purpose was to analyse the sudden disappearance of VI-516, the goal was rather complicated. She believes that something must have been going on inside Rutherland, as they all assumed she had gone there without the group's permission. The team consists of her, ASHE-159 and HAYABUSA-096. EQUINOX-612 was told to stay put because he prefers to hack and decrypt the megacorporation's data.
Upon deployment, became a showoff on eliminating a dozen PATROL-05, PL14 and KNIGHT bots with ease. Afterwards, they quickly scramble to do their objectives. They await orders from their leader while on standby, as they have positioned to interfere in VI-516's possible routes. However, it didn't go as planned as the chase went far to their expected location, according to SHIRO-113 as the rest of the resistance have gathered in various buildings, much to the leader's chagrin, as she didn't want any of them to get slaughtered or be arrested. She manage to halt ASHE-159's doubts as they continue to search the entire place, while fending off PROJECT forces.
They were too late, so they have no option but to visit the wreckage on THAT certain intersection. Turns out that VI-516 and PSYLOCKE-832 have collaborated to save the security company, and recover the stolen AI, which was in the form of an operational chip. FIONA-384 was right, she whispered to her that the elite assassin was trustworthy. As they confront her, the latter only shared a brief conversation with them, hinting that she'll help the rebels against the megacorporation. She also got an advice from PSYLOCKE-832, to which the two shared a small banter.
She also wanted to have occasional video calls with her, likely wanting to hear more of the security company's efforts against the megacorporation.
==== Going All Out ====
 has been a favourable figure in this stage of the war, endlessly helping out as one of the resistance's best warriors to ever exist. As a result, her reputation is established as a whole. However, it has been known that her rivalry with GRIMM has escalated to excessive levels, apparently they will not hold back and continuously seek to kill each other when the opportunity arrives.
===== Defence of Obrinia =====
SCYLLA-028 and the others, like the rest of the resistance, are ordered to stand by in Obrinia. She did saw ASHE-159 supervising for a short while and FIONA-384 performing some sort of maintenance check on the wall's defences. This bored her because she knew there is a foreboding attack by the PROJECT Command Line, and they all have different tech and weaponry to win an operation, and an entire war. However, all of the rebels are forbidden from interfering unless RUBICORE gave an order to assist, which she groans in increasing boredom after she destroyed a single, modified infiltration drone bot.
After the group has been ordered to assist in the operation, she makes an entrance by deflecting a sword thrown at PSYLOCKE-832; Knowing that even a super powered assassin like her won't dodge a throw like that. Following that, she has valiantly fought GRIMM after 832 decided to remain in her position, while the two of them fight below the walls of the city as they started to brawl after crashing to each other down below. However, they seemed to enjoy themselves fighting each other; Until the two of them managed to stab each other in the arm, ending their fight in a draw, and witnessing the retreat of PROJECT's forces in the outer wall of Obrinia. She was unsatisfied, knowing that the perfect opportunity was right there. FIONA-384 assures her that she will have another chance someday, but advises to keep her attitude in check.
===== Fellow Assassins =====
After repelling the Command Line forces from Obrinia, she have agreed to work with the elite assassin on a secret mission, with consent from the resistance. This annoys VI-516 due to the fact that she hasn't been able to accompany or work with PSYLOCKE-832 again after the latter graciously declined her request, knowing that she actually used her and was the key to effortlessly stop the heist during the events of the year 3012. Much to the assassin's chagrin, VI-516 punched her in the stomach with the gauntlet. The two have travelled to Rutherland, where PSYLOCKE-832 quickly informs the latter that she has been quite missing from the security firm since the events of 3012. As a result, SCYLLA-028 allows her to enter the company's headquarters for an urgent meeting and waits outside for her. Following that, PSYLOCKE-832 emerges from the headquarters, now as the unarmoured Rachelle. She is perplexed, claiming that she should wear her suit the most of the time. The latter implies that the mission is straightforward and does not involve the megacorporation, much to the latter's relief. She takes off her armour as well. 
As a result, the two start on a quest without any PROJECT technology, while Ashe scouts them from afar without her PROJECT technology. They eventually arrived at their destination, Losteria. They agreed to scour the area for anything valuable, while the two devised a strategy to make TRISTANNA-651's liberation of her homeland a little easier than usual. Surprisingly, there are no PROJECT forces near Grunthel. Rachelle assumes that it could be a trap, so she advices Scylla to be cautious. The duo found almost nothing, so they laid out the trap sequences that the corporation's forces would fall upon at Losteria and quickly travelled to Valenthia. Scylla wanted to know the truth about her mother's tragedy, so they headed to the Weeping Woods. Rachelle leaves her alone in her old house while quickly killing numerous terrorists and saves Scylla from the hands of the demons. 
Scylla discovers her mother is still, alive. They have reunited and she thanks her for saving them, and the fellow people of Valenthia. Her mother was able to deduce that she in fact, SCYLLA-028. Rachelle stumbles upon the scene, suggesting that they should depart and live on the Panamoan Republic, with Scylla assuring it is surely safe in the resistance headquarters. They were a little late, as PROJECT has sent a search party. To counteract, Rachelle diverted their attention, allowing Scylla and her mother to escape the forest, and proceed to the awaiting NEXIJET. Rachelle effectively sniped the search party members with ease and fought their cyborg ninjas with her glaive, effortlessly.
Their quest has been successfully finished, without hitches. Scylla, along with fellow warriors Fiona and Brienne, is suggested by Rachelle to travel and return to Valenthia someday. As a result, she hugs her and expresses gratitude for her participation in the mission. Ashe overheard the conversation while flying the NEXIJET, but she ultimately approved of the suggestion and listened to it without animosity. After letting her mother be taken care of, Ashe teases Scylla for being a soft person, earning a spank to her backside, which the resistance leader responds via pinching her cheek, saying that she is both gorgeous and cute when showcasing her stubborn attitude, much to her laughter and annoyance.
As expected, her mother is regularly comforted by her every time she had a spare, unoccupied space.
===== Siege of Daitoshi =====
PSYLOCKE-832 leads FIONA-384 AND SCYLLA-028 fighting PROJECT forces, in the Siege of Daitoshi. PSYLOCKE-832 leads FIONA-384 and her in fighting PROJECT forces, in the Siege of Daitoshi. During the operation, she was ecstatic to hear that 832 was challenged by ASHE-159 to command a small team of G/NEX rebels while they were all fighting in Daitoshi. As a result, she accepts the challenge from the group's leader, bringing FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 with her. Also, she commands the leader for liberating Avarshi all by herself, which earns the surprise of the two rebels, questioning on why didn't she bring them to liberate such country. ASHE-159 strikes back to her as well, commenting that she saved the entire COALESCENCE by herself back on Rutherland, knowing her heroic actions yet again.
Following that, PSYLOCKE-832 leads FIONA-384 and SCYLLA-028 into battle, purposefully allowing GRANDIOSE and MEDARDA to pursue them, but she was the first to charge into the fight and went guns blazing midair after jumping off a building, while the two are trailing behind her. As expected, they made a spectacular landing and proceeded to fight with a straightforward strategy: destroy all PROJECT forces. FIONA-384 was the first to rescue civilians on the entire siege, while ASHE-159 surveys the entire place amidst the fighting. PSYLOCKE-832's leadership of the three-man team has been spectacular so far, not having any mistakes or hiccups along the entire operation. She even goes so far as sent a few RUBICORE soldiers tasked on rescuing innocent people trapped in the Siege. Not to mention, COALESCENCE has sent her a relief package, allowing to supply her allies with basic necessities and her own technology.
Notably, PSYLOCKE-832 managed to nearly kill MEDARDA with her weakest kick. SCYLLA-028 fought GRANDIOSE as well, but she lost, causing the nightrider to end it for herself, utilising her own skills against him, but he cowardly fled, hoping to re-strategise against her someday. After a lengthy and difficult victory on the Siege of Daitoshi, she witnessed the obsidian assassin had returned to Rutherland and was able to create the technology needed to resurrect BISHOP-805.
===== Battle of Supremandy =====
The G/NEX deploys through a hover platform, however they are subsequently ambushed and crashes as a result. SCYLLA-028 was separated from the rest of the crew, leaving her stranded and relying on her skills to survive. RUBICORE begins enormous strategic bombing operations in order to effectively weaken the city's defences and Evalka as a whole. This enables for the elimination of the megacorporation's presence on the planet while attempting to avoid unintended deaths among innocent people caught in the crossfire or explosions. She concludes that GRIMM is the culprit of their crash landing, and being stranded away from the entire group indicates a duel against him.
GRIMM immediately finds her after that crash. As a result, she soon exposes him as a sadistic madman of the corporation, naming all of the defectors he has killed on orders or for personal benefit. As a result, GRIMM immediately tackles her, cracking her visor open and leaving her stunned, crouching in the ground, anticipating her opponent. He says that he had always suspected her of being a turncoat, even going so far as to remind her of her "patrols" in A Call to Arms. SCYLLA-028 is perplexed, as he has managed to see through her deception and infiltration. He even insults for attempting to surpass PSYLOCKE-832, the assassin from the COALESCENCE that has managed to exploit every aspect of PROJECT. She tries to shrug, but she cried while raising her scythe against him.
A series of vicious clashes ensues. The rivals didn't hold back against each other, unleashing their whole force on each other. The two are clearly evenly matched, with the sole difference being that GRIMM is stronger but SCYLLA-028 is faster. He swiftly changes the tide by wounding her left arm, giving him an advantage in the fight, but she ultimately puts an end to his terror by unleashing her ultimate ability, the SCYTHE EXECUTION, dashing to him four times, resulting in his brutal death, and in return, she healed. She turns to the rebel group that, after hours of searching, located her. She gives them a smirk.
Afterwards, ASHE-159 questions her on why was she late on the battle on Supremandy, but she inspects the corpse in there and quickly commends her for killing GRIMM, to which she hugs her in friendship. They rescued PSYLOCKE-832 and she managed to reveal her true intentions, allowing them to finally understand the actions of the elite assassin. Following that, SCYLLA lately fought in the battle, but it wasn't a problem since it was a huge victory.
==== Technological Lies: Prove Your Worth ====
Scylla and Tristanna collaborated on a small operation at Losteria prior to the renowned battle in Supremandy. Seeing her as a valued ally and, on the surface, a friend. To capitalise, they have single-handedly killed thousands of Command Line soldiers using nothing more than precise tactics, prime positioning, and stealth for clean kills that leave no trace, even in the enemy's HUDs. Notably, they have intercepted and apprehended Wynona Achilles, who has another person to kidnap by putting someone to sleep, and they then had a hit-and-run op. This was also not documented in official records.
SCYLLA-028 wonders if PROJECT can be erased from the planet forever owing that they appear to have lost the war but are still standing. Notably, she addresses PSYLOCKE-832 as a friend and discusses in the call; if she can kill GRANDIOSE, knowing that he had been an annoyance to her since the beginning due to his guns. She was taken aback by the G - Rising Falcons, an RUBICORE made alliance led by the G/NEX. As a result, she attracts the attention of Gucci Intermittent agents, who want to hire her because they know her skills and reputation. She obviously refused.
As she fights in the Battle of Supremandy, ASHE-159 invited her and among the rebellion's most iconic warriors to infiltrate the SUPREME headquarters. While they entered the lower floors, HAYABUSA-096 joins them, recalling his vow to destroy the entire SUPREME building after the victory. HAYABUSA-096, SHIRO-113, and TRISTANNA-651 made quick work of the underground floors' security, eliminating all personnel they encountered and allowing the few innocent employees to flee for their lives. They then cleared the laboratories and directed the smaller resistance groups to save the victims who were still alive, which they did quickly. After that, they fought their way up until the 300th floor, which took a considerable amount of time.
They then confronted Muldoon Lundgren after his men gets slaughtered on the top floor. Knowing he has no backup plans in case he is cornered, he simply stands in front of them, seemingly unafraid of the defectors from his megacorporation. He mocks them, believing that killing him will not bring the war to an end, despite the fact that PROJECT is losing it. BRIENNE-218 quickly steps in front of the group, asking the Iceborn leader if she could kill him, which ASHE-159 agrees to, while discussing how he is one of the most evil men on the planet, and his operatives are just as evil. Before she can rip him in half, Muldoon pulls out a device, which he attempts to disable the rebels' armour or cybernetic bodies with it briefly, but SCYLLA-028 later halts it after throwing a kunai at his palm.
Muldoon Lundgren simply laughs despite his wound and presses a button that livestreams their confrontation. Muldoon simply admits that the megacorporation was founded by an extraterrestrial, tyrannical god who wanted to control the planet Nexonia Prime and destroy it after his empire had controlled it; in doing so, he founded a megacorporation that was passed down to him at the time of his unlikely death at the hands of BISHOP-805. As the rebels have no idea who is this god, he simply showed them a holographic projection of the Darklord and the things he knew about the lord.
ASHE-159 declared an event for the entire planet to watch as they cleared the skyscraper and brought Lundgren with them. It was to humiliate Lundgren in front of millions, if not billions, of people. The rebels promptly organised it someplace in the Aryaine Kingdom, encircling the region with Reel TEC screens, planning to show all of his words, atrocities, and an unending array of evil that he has performed in the name of greed and power. BRIENNE-218 questioned the leader about not instantly executing the vile CEO, to which she simply replied that the public deserves to witness the most evil nevian suffer at hands of good before he dies, and concluding that eliminating the life of such a selfish monster may jeopardise their values as a hero.
The day arrives. Lundgren is left in fearful silence as he witnesses billions of people watching him on stage as the G/NEX warriors drag him into the centre for all to see; to capitalise on this, She wanted everyone to witness all the wrong that he did through the Reel TEC screens surrounding the stage, which he attempted to disable, but he is ultimately defenceless as he lacks any means of protecting himself. As he suffers from the public's censure, he tries to reverse the tide by activating a switch on his neck, which summons a bulky drone bot; causing public anger as Lundgren attempts to flee while using the bot as protection.
However, ASHE-159 swiftly disables it after help from Rising Falcon allies and is astonished to see the bot destroyed after a railgun fire from PSYLOCKE-832 obliterates it. With no hope or escape preparations, Lundgren is left on stage, vulnerable to every sort of attack unleashed by the audience, mainly hurled objects and some machinery, as he is left to perish slowly at the hands of the audience. The rebels watched in silence, deeply satisfied that they have found a means to get rid of him, without ruthlessly cutting him apart. After the ceremony, the rebels and their formed allies simply asked the crowd to dispose of his body and burn it, since they saw no purpose for his cadaver.
=== Codename: REVIVAL ===
Knowing that an invasion is taking place someplace, SCYLLA-028 is anxious for her comrade, the obsidian assassin PSYLOCKE-832. As she is rumoured to have been wounded in combat as a result of a PROJECT Command Line invasion against Rutherland's forces, with the intention of putting an end to their military and COALESCENCE once and for all. As the resistance deployed to the country, they all used their strength to repel the enormous threat, and even came upon SHADOW, whom they failed to kill despite their methods, which included knives, arrows, and explosives, they only damaged him through 832's grenades. They have discovered, however, that COALESCENCE has fallen. PROJECT has made it clear that destroying them was due to their fight against them.
However, they stumble upon a wounded PSYLOCKE-832. To their surprise, she is severely injured, with her hand gripping her stomach, her visor ruined, and her left eye busted. TRISTANNA-651, ASHE-159, FIONA-384, and her have rushed to aid the assassin, but she merely smiled in agony. She persuaded the assassin to stay in the struggle, but the latter regards her as a friend and confirms that she would rather die in honour. JINX-362 requests that SCYLLA-028 to use another of that stimulant to resuscitate her, but their efforts are futile as she looks up to the sky, a distant light blue beam shot in the distance; and fades away. Fortunately, they have timely saved her with a Fujiwara Nanostimulant to completely bring her back to life after three attempts. As the bright beam of light in the NRC tower blinds everyone, PROJECT divides their remaining Command Line forces into the G/NEX forces in Rutherland, and in the Panamoan Republic; Apparently disturbed by the beam of light emitted far away. 
The rebels quickly defended PSYLOCKE-832's position, until they were overrun by the last Mecha cavalry in their position. To make matters worse, they have sent a PHALANX-ECT mecha, effectively turning the fight in Rutherland into a one-sided slaughter. However, the cavalry disappears after someone fired a large plasma spherical explosive, which was no other than REDEEMER-865 himself. He has brought his own rebellion to cleanse Rutherland, knowing that COALESCENCE is left in ruins after the invasion; But PSYLOCKE-832 quickly runs to him, pins him to the wall, but he counters by doing the same, and the two proceed to recognise each other.
The G/NEX rebels wonder who's the mysterious hero in such armour with impressive technology. SCYLLA-028 quickly tells the truth as the couple had an intimate moment after REDEEMER-865 has managed to completely restore his memory. PSYLOCKE-832 bids the rebels a farewell as the power couple departs from the country for some reason, likely to plan their way of saving the planet, yet again. The Rebels are left in there, leaving them questions about the obsidian assassin's lover. Unfortunately, their chances of approaching the COALESCENCE headquarters are thwarted by PROJECT ANNIHILATOR. Of course, she is agitated by the fact that the tyrannical mecha has found their position.
=== Bleeding Edge: Ultimatum ===
For ASHE-159, their victory in the entire war was only the beginning and the war against PROJECT is far from over. A sacrifice must be done in order to save the planet completely from the megacorporation itself. This earns massive disagreement from the resistance members, knowing that her death can send their rebellion into disarray and would cause the enemy to exploit it into their favour. she merely shrugged, reminding them to accept FIONA-384 as their new leader the day she dies, believing that a sacrifice is more important than living beyond the aftermath of such global war.
SCYLLA-028 disagrees, stating that she should stay alive even when the entire fight is over. However, she noticed LILIAN-395 standing beside her. As expected, she persuaded the Iceborn leader not to work with her, but the latter simply scoffs, knowing that Iceborn warmothers never leave each other, which earns curiosity from her, but chose to keep quiet. Surprisingly, ASHE-159 ordered all of them to depart, and gives the second-in-command a chance to assume command of the group.
As a result, an argument between the group and the leader arise, with SCYLLA-028 speaking out against her, arguing that she cannot trust a PROJECT enforcer, whether they defect or not, even going so far to remind her that she is Laura Smirnoff's killer. ASHE-159 reminds her quietly that they all deserve a peaceful life after the war is finally over. They didn't take her words lightly when she said the conflict was far from over. With her words no longer convincing them, she tells FIONA-384 to take interim leadership of the rebellion and go, suggesting that they merely serve people all across the globe, like they always do.
==== An Invitation ====
As ASHE-159 died from her wounds and LILIAN-395 hugged her in despair, the rebels were unable to save her despite their best efforts, and not even a Fujiwara Nanostimulant could bring her back to life. However, something awaits for them. It was no other than PROJECT ANNIHILATOR. However, unlike the others, her death affected 028 very deeply, knowing that she trusts her so much, and being responsible for making her a better person, not to mention rescue her own mother.
Obviously, they acknowledged her oath, in which she requested that her body be buried and a monument erected to honour her sacrifice, to which the rebels agreed, and they all proceeded to carry the leader's corpse, with LILIAN-395 accompanying them, but there was a colossal figure awaiting them in anticipation, it was ANNIHILATOR, seeing them as another addition to his kill count and the hindrance to his plan of merging his own dimension to the physical world.
When she sees the tyrant approaching, she, like the others, promptly pulls out her scythe and dagger. ANNIHILATOR, on the other hand, simply laughs at them as his march deafens the entire group, and she failed to react in time as the mecha slammed his hammer down, seemingly crushing all of them, if not for OLIVEIRI-709 using the MIST to shroud them and avoid disintegration; displeased by the intervention, she throws her scythe at the tyrant, but it simply deflects him. Hope God knows how many times SCYLLA-028 lost her cool when she realised they were about to be transported to another world.
The warriors were annoyed by the fact that she pulled out every vulgar word possible upon realising their banishment.
==== Duel: Scylla's Chance ====
After entering the realm, ASHE-159 is unexpectedly rejuvenated. She comforted her and assisted her in becoming acquainted with her reincarnated body, noting that the latter apologises for dying. Following that, they all opted to hide in the Matrix rather than the Grid, despite its terrible condition in comparison to the opulent city. However, ANNIHILATOR swiftly discovers their location, and they all realise a duel is imminent. The tyrant immediately locks them within the Forsaken Arena, but SCYLLA-028 mocks him for providing them such an unusually vast space in their "playing field".
The fight went worse than she expected, as they launched an all-out attack, it was even futile despite their efforts. Not long after, they taunted him through mind games as they all revealed the death of Lundgren, which the latter simply shrugged. The rebels did not take him lightly and assaulted him in all directions. He laughs at them, knowing that no matter how clever their strategies were, they lacked the heavy firepower to beat him. It was a one-sided struggle, and he actually plays with them, earning his boredom, before ordering his holographic minions to slaughter them; obviously, almost everyone in the group is no match for him.
JINX-362 is severely injured after one of his minions violently rips her left arm off during a scuffle. SHIRO-113 uses all of his skills to survive against him and his minions. Everyone was clearly outmatched, and even ANNIHILATOR admitted to playing with the rebels, knowing he could simply kill any of them with brute force. As a result, the rebels devised a strategy that relies on OLIVEIRI-709's special abilities in the Digital Realm. As a result, they have attempted to manipulate the environment in order to reverse the tide. As a result, he quickly targets her and swings his hammer at her.
She is surprised to see 709 unleashing a DAWNING WAVE, which she implies that it should be enough to kill him, but Scylla was woefully incorrect. Much to everyone's horror, ANNIHILATOR has managed to kill VI-516, SHIRO-113 and HAYABUSA-096 with maximum effect, she is left with anger in the tyrant's bloodshed, like they all do. The survivors later regroup amidst the carnage, and they have successfully downloaded their consciousness to the realm for an easy revive in case of death.
She managed to stood a chance against him for a while, and they demonstrated their plan as BRIENNE-218 got revived after being smashed, but the tyrant picks up both Iceborn Warriors, which they failed to free her, not even JUDGEMENT was able to disorient him at that moment. Scylla is disgusted as they witness a long conversation whilst trapped in holographic cages, but OLIVEIRI-709 was able to escape thanks to her and unleashed the DAWNING WAVE yet again, As it dealt enough damage, the two warmothers quickly break free and attempt to rescue the others trapped in their cage, to no avail. They seem to think the mecha overlord is now destroyed forever, but unbeknownst to them, he simply used his passive ability to repair his severe damage sustained from the blast.
==== Snagged from the Jaws of Annihilation ====
As ANNIHILATOR emerges in front of them, with his minions surrounding him, he orders them to stay put, seeking to quickly destroy the resistance by himself, rooting them in the same location, and he triumphantly leaps into the air, clearly intending to execute all of them with a hammer slam. 
The mecha overlord of annihilation has smashed his hammer down, thoroughly decimating the rebels as their flesh bursts from the impact, deleting them from cyberspace. OLIVEIRI was able to live by employing a shroud, while the rest were reduced to a pile of flesh, but it has been revealed that most of them survived, except for ASHE-159 who suffers from haemorrhage. Scylla notably comforts Ashe, proclaiming that regardless of her fate (alive or dead), they will succeed against their final opponent.
Much to her delight, PSYLOCKE-832 has entered the realm and challenged a duel against the tyrant. However, she lost; But Scylla knows Rachelle has a trick, which was the most wonderful thing the G/NEX has ever seen in the realm, which can go down to the history. REDEEMER-865 deploys to the dimension and a massive army, consisting of his own group, and their fellow rebels, hundreds of them.
==== One Way to End it ====
They all fight with all their strength and willpower. the heavy firepower pounding ANNIHILATOR was more than enough, but in a fit of rage, he kills dozens of ANTI-SERVERs and their own rebels, which they also failed to prevent OLIVEIRI-709 from being crippled by the overlord. Obviously, everyone knows the location of the SERVER by now, forcing most of the G/NEX to use native aircraft to fly towards the location, and the ANTI-SERVERs launch to the skies with their power to fly through shapeshifting.
In the fight for the SERVER, REDEEMER-865's giant holographic form trades blows with PROJECT ANNIHILATOR as the surviving G/NEX warriors follow the lead of PSYLOCKE-832 as they seek to destroy the SERVER, the realm's core, knowing that its destruction will ensure the tyrant's demise and save every hero in the same dimension. OLIVEIRI-709, who appears hobbling and with a torn right arm, promises the group that she will restore everything, earning the adoration of EION-013. The gunslinger actually survives a hit from the tyrant, as he is luckily confined in debris rather than decimated by brute force. As they all make it to the core, 865 noticed that ANNIHILATOR has brought the still-alive soldiers of PROJECT: INTERCEPTOR-409 and Gray Wolf. Much to their dissatisfaction, The tyrant uses the opportunity to create henchmen modelled after SHADOW himself, dozens of them. 
Scylla was at the limits of her patience upon seeing clones of SHADOW, and even GRIMM himself! As a result, the warriors gave her the freedom to kill as many GRIMMs in the upcoming confrontation. This was not really known, the records only consider SHADOW to be cloned as a holographic minion. 028 also witnessed INTERCEPTOR-409's death at the hands of FIONA-384, the two of them looking in approval. They are unable to save OLIVEIRI-709 from being injured again, seemingly losing their hope, until REDEEMER sees their struggle and uses his axe to kill the SHADOW clones with ease and bulldozes them with sheer force, then suggests everyone to hop onto his TAGGART form as he matches ANNIHILATOR in combat, but accidentally drops the rebels to the ground, forcing 028 to throw her scythe into the SERVER's gate, which triggered but luckily disarmed the security systems, allowing REDEEMER-865 to run towards it, but the tyrant quickly blocks their path.
===== A Moment Relieved =====
PSYLOCKE-832 saves their moment by throwing her glaive into his right eye, permanently blinding it and is able to attack him in the head with the same weapon as she stands on top of him and shoots him with her wrist gun, before he throws her out of the way, which she used the momentum to make it inside the SERVER. FIONA-384 then later stalls them as the G/NEX and the ANTI-SERVER are now en route onto Sector 07, the main core of SERVER.
====End of the Line====
This was it, and the moment where she can shine. Wasting no time, she makes a name for herself as she threw her scythe to a control panel, allowing all of the circuits of the entire SERVER to unfold and expose themselves, much to her laughter. However, the entire group is blockaded by ANNIHILATOR's army, surrounding everyone except REDEEMER-865. This caused them to form up a defensive position as the others are torn apart by the clones, or shot by the armed minions. The tyrant proclaims that destroying the SERVER would result in the destruction of the realm and everyone inside of it, but they are able to see beneath his bluff. Fortunately, Scylla saw PSYLOCKE-832 permanently blinding ANNIHILATOR by stabbing him in the left eye, and REDEEMER-865's huge form is used to spear him through the SERVER's power core, effectively destroying it for good, as the rest of them are destroying every component in Sector 07.
Scylla got bored of the moment after the fun she received when killing the tyrant for all of nevanity. She waited for a while as EION-013 and OLIVEIRI-709 embraced one another before they all joined for the biggest hug, ever. After that, she guided them to the Portal, a gateway designed to perfectly return any individual to the real world, without exerting their own temporal grenades of digital abilities to do so. They bid a farewell to the GHOST, and 865 notably hugs her as she has decided to stay there, ready to face eternity and leaving her fate unknown. Scylla notably hugged 832 and 865 in return, which the latter remembered her and jokingly punched her in the gut.
As they lived peacefully after leaving the wretched dimension, and saving their entire planet, she preserved Ashe's body to the Iceborn population, particularly her tribe, earning Lilian's trust, before the latter died afterwards, seemingly committing suicide. The last time Scylla saw Ashe was when her tribesmen dressed her in her heroic attire before being prepared in traditional casket.
==Finale: Ashe's Funeral==
Knowing that ASHE-159 died from a haemorrhage and was killed by the tyrant stabbing her in the stomach, SCYLLA-028 realises that her life has come to an end, but it was not in vain, as she went on to become the planet's most renowned hero, following the entire victory that killed the tyrant forever and erased PROJECT from history. Scylla was highly affected more than Fiona by Ashe's death, prompting her to rage about how she could've saved her during their final battle, until she calmed down, knowing that their leader chose to sacrifice herself to win the entire fight of their lives. As a result, she felt compelled to attend her leader's funeral in Avarshi while dressed in frigid attire.
Much to her surprise, RUBICORE's forces including Frederick Parangosky has attended, alongside Lauren Van Damme and Darren Van Damme. She saw FIONA-384 conversing to the military general as she is approached by the surviving rebels, dressed in black formal attire, which in return she threw her white cloak in respect. After the conversation is over, the new leader walks up to them as she declares that they are the part of "the new generation of heroes", which Scylla asks her something: "What do you have in mind for our group?". Fiona simply asked them to stay tuned, knowing that the G/NEX is no longer a resistance group, but rather a hero organisation.
Attending Ashe's funeral in Avarshi dressed in frigid attire, Scylla paid her respects and grappled with the emptiness left by Ashe's absence. In the following days, Scylla made regular visits to Ashe's grand tomb, sharing tales of their heroic exploits and seeking a connection with the departed leader. The poignant moments between Scylla and Ashe's tomb were inadvertently captured by shutterbugs, turning into a somber but cherished symbol of the leader's legacy.
As the new year, 3026, began, Scylla remained aware of the rumors circulating about Ashe's prodigious daughter, Madeleine Clemirosa. Opting not to interfere, Scylla embraced a simple yet content life with her mother. The fate of her PROJECT armor and gear remained a mystery — whether she discarded them as relics of the past or kept them as tokens of remembrance for her heroic days. In the process of healing, Scylla found a new friend in Zelina (formerly SWIFT BLAST), who provided companionship and support as they both coped with the loss of their leader and shared memories of a great friend.
It is unknown if she has decided to join Fiona in the new generation of heroes, or learn about Ashe's alleged protégé? There is only, one way to find it out.
== Personality==
Proud, mischievous, and snarky, Scylla is unapologetically rebellious. Her deceitful nature and penchant for theft stem from a profound disdain for PROJECT's deception and propaganda. Despite her thieving tendencies, Scylla is guided by a sense of morality and becomes a warrior for the G/NEX cause. While initially preferring solo missions, her bond with ASHE-159 and loyalty the resistance reveals a deeper commitment to the fight against the megacorporation. Calm and composed, Scylla's striking brown eyes serve as an intimidation tactic, reflecting the intensity of her emotions and convictions.
==Abilities==
SCYLLA-028, one of the rare non-cybernetically enhanced defectors from PROJECT, wields a deadly scythe, versatile enough to serve as both her main offensive weapon and a lethal throwing implement. Her secondary weapon is a dagger, complementing the scythe's effectiveness. Encased in a lightweight armored suit, she boasts durability against most firearms and high-frequency blades. The suit conceals a weapon system that deploys hidden knives to thwart attempts by adversaries to grab her.
===Technological Capabilities===
*FIVE POINT STRIKE: launches five Kunai blades to the opponent. Best used for multiple stealth takedowns and stealth kills.
*TWILIGHT SMOKESCREEN: Deploying an advanced smoke grenade strategically, SCYLLA-028 creates a dense cloud of smoke to obscure her opponent's vision. Enhanced movement speed within the smoke makes it effective against formidable adversaries.
* SHURI LUNGE: Utilizing a NEX1 shuriken, SCYLLA-028 initiates combat by throwing the projectile. Upon a successful hit, she swiftly follows up with a powerful dropkick, making it ideal for initiating fights.
*SCYTHE EXECUTION: 's ultimate ability showcases her superhuman speed as she dashes through her opponent in a straight line, wielding her scythe to cleave them into four even pieces in the shape of an "X." This devastating move serves as a lethal finisher in combat that many has fallen under her ultimate move.
*Heads-Up Display: Scylla's combat and situational awareness improves tenfold as a result of the heads up display, which includes all known important aspects such as location, target profile, distance measurements, health, and, well, pretty much everything. It also allows her to sneak up on enemies without making any suspicious noises or pings.
*ARSENAL Mk.3: Scylla has a creative arsenal. Mostly, it is composed of daggers, knives, scythes and smoke grenades.
*Filtration System: Filters the suit if the wearer urinates or defecates inside it. It is unknown how the waste is released, but it is mostly ejected from the wearer's genital via nanotechnology.
*Cloak: Sometimes, she has an active camouflage system that is invisible to thermal and targeting systems, perfect for surprise attacks. However, it is slightly inferior to PROJECT SHADOW's ability to blend into the shadows. She can also use smoke grenades to enhance her cloaking effectiveness.
*Concealed Weapon Systems: Scylla's armoured suit is designed with hidden knives and spikes throughout the body to compensate for the light armour. This prevents opponents from grabbing her, which is especially important if they intend to grapple with her or break her limbs.

===Skills===
*Master Combatant: SCYLLA-028 is an extremely skilled combatant, her expertise with melee weapons are amazing; And her hand-to-hand combat skills are extremely invaluable. It is also worth noting that she has good aim with throwing weapons, and allegedly skilled with long ranged rifles.
*Master Spy: Before being part of PROJECT, she is an extremely skilled spy. She can blend into locations with ease, and disappear without leaving any traces. G/NEX has valued her skills in being a spy, her infiltration and theft skills are held in high regard.
*Master Thief: Back in Valenthia, she was a notorious thief. She can easily steal belongings without arousing suspicion from the victim, even if the stunt is carried out in public. Scylla admits to Ashe, that back in the day, she stole the King of Valenthia's crown without being caught. This also implies that she can effortlessly pick locks and advanced systems to bypass doors and buildings.

=== Thoughts on ASHE-159===
==== General====
*"Ashe, the Iceborn who defied the cold and brought warmth to the hearts of the rebellion."
*"ASHE-159, the leader who turned a ragtag group into a force to be reckoned with. Not bad for an Iceborn."
*"To the Iceborn who melted my skepticism and forged it into respect. Cheers, Ashe."
==== Ashe's sacrifice ====
*"Ashe, you were like the heartbeat of our rebellion, the force that kept us moving forward. Losing you was like the world losing its rhythm."
*"Your sacrifice was noble, Ashe, but it left a void. It's not just about the loss of a leader; it's the absence of a friend, a confidante."
*"In the quiet moments, I still catch myself expecting you to stride in, silver hair glinting, and lay down the plan. But the room stays silent, and the plan never comes."
*"We fought side by side, clashed, argued, but in the end, we were allies. Losing you made me question if the fight was worth it without your unyielding spirit."
*"Your death cast a shadow on my lone wolf path. Suddenly, the darkness I embraced felt colder, lonelier. Your absence echoes louder than any battle cry."
*"I left the G/NEX not because the fight was over but because the fire that fueled me had dimmed. Losing you was like losing a part of myself, and I needed to find that missing piece."
*"Ashe, you made me believe in something beyond my own interests. Losing you made me question if redemption was possible without your guiding influence."
*"Your sacrifice was a beacon, Ashe, a testament to the lengths we'd go for our cause. But it also cast a long shadow that I struggled to step out of."
*"I used to revel in the shadows, finding comfort in the solitude. Your absence turned those shadows into haunting reminders of what we've lost."
*"Ashe, your departure left me adrift in a sea of uncertainty. I may be a rogue, but even rogues need a North Star, and yours went out."
==Trivia==
===General=== 
*Recent reports of her appearance was due to Fiona Vance. Vance simply confirmed that Scylla did not desired to return for the NEW/G, preferring to live in Valenthia with her still-alive mother.
*It is clear that she is good friends with Tristanna.
*Her usage of a scythe is a tribute and respect to one of her most trusted entities, The Fourth Reaper.
*SCYLLA-028 and ASHE-159 tend to rub each other, until the events of Rampancy.
*At the aftermath, she spends her time with her mother and Fiona, as she became an adopted scion.
*Dislikes Mechas. She even preferred tanks over the mechs in armoured vehicle warfare. She notably called the SCOUT Walkers as "chicken walkers"!
*Scylla has taken out forty SCOUT Walkers throughout the war. Ashe is getting annoyed by her daily uttering of "stupid chicken walkers" whenever those walkers are present in combat.
*Her Lifetaker Dagger has been converted into the SOL98 crimson dagger.
*Apparently good friends with JINX-362. This is mostly because they tend to go rogue and operate in solo missions.
=== Developmental Notes ===
*Scylla was designed as a character that struggled to work with others, due to her lone wolf nature and her tendency to infiltrate everywhere.
*Scylla is a Valenthian, while an early draft depicts her as a Losterian.
*An early draft depicts the PROJECT-G/NEX Chronicles with Scylla breaking down the megacorporation through her infiltration and sabotage operations by herself. This was scrapped in favour of character development, and these stunts are more somewhat carried over to PSYLOCKE-832.
*According to some, Scylla used to be anorexic when she was young. When she grew up, she was extremely fit.
*In occasion, she uses her good looks to be exempted from PROJECT's additional tests when she received her weapons and armour.
