Biocide's True Backstory

***Attention: Everything you are about to read is the backstory behind Game 1 / True Samantha "Biocide" Samson. This still applies to every other Game Samantha due to her being the same person, even though she had "a different backstory" per game.***

Our story starts in 1998 in Crest Hills, Crystal Skies. It was a bright and beautiful January day and the sun was shining. Today, January 28th 1988, a woman would give birth to her twin daughters- Crystal Leigh and Holly Leigh. Crystal and Holly were identical twin sisters, both sharing the same light brown skin and curly black hair and deep brown eyes that shone like diamonds in the sunlight. Crystal and Holly were inseparable from birth, never leaving each other's sides.

Crystal was the outgoing one, always happy and peppy. She loves the color pink and would always wear frilly dresses and have tea parties and she loved all of her stuffed animals. Holly, on the other hand, was dark and brooding and wore all black, and generally hated everything. Despite their differences, the two girls were best friends and cared for each other and would do anything for each other. The two girls got matching golden heart lockets with each other's faces in them, to show how much they loved each other.

However, tragedy befell the poor Holly as she fell ill with cancer as a young teen. Crystal spent all of her time beside Holly in her hospital bed, praying and hoping that something magical would happen and Holly would be cured from her disease. The night before Holly died, the two made a promise to each other and made special nicknames for each other.

Crystal got the nickname "Biocide Crystal", as a biocide is a chemical substance that kills things- a symbol for how everyone around Crystal that she loves always ends up dying. Holly got the nickname "Homicide Crystal", as she promised to always protect Crystal no matter what, even if she had to kill someone to do it. Crystal wept that night and the next day as she stood beside Holly holding her hand as the monitor flat-lined.

From that day forwards, Crystal changed. She was colder and talked to less and less people, shutting herself in and seemingly becoming someone else, or more specifically- becoming her sister. Crystal stopped wearing bright colors and instead wore darker colors to honour her sister's death, but Crystal aged and slowly got over Holly's death. Crystal often jumped between being her normal self and imitating Holly for the majority of her life. People called her weird and strange and Crystal insisted that she didn't know what they were talking about and that she wasn't doing what they said she was purposely.

Time went on and Crystal became an adult, and then one day when grief stricked, reached out to her aunt Pixie Leigh, who worked with a specific branch of the government that focused their research on magic and trying to connect the gap between the real world and the afterlife. Crystal informed Pixie about her struggles and how she wanted nothing more than to see her sister again, and she vowed to do anything.

Pixie brought up the idea of testing out the portal that she'd been working on that branched a link between the two worlds and Crystal jumped for the opportunity. However, the portal didn't work and instead teleported Crystal to the middle of the woods where she met Poofle-Dink and Genocide Reaper, one ethereal being and one grim reaper, and once Crystal pitched her idea to them, and the two girls vowed to help Crystal reconnect with her sister.

The three of them went to the afterlife and Crystal did in fact reconnect with Holly who was delighted to see her once again. Once Crystal was satisfied, Geno pitched the idea of turning Crystal into a grim reaper like herself so that Crystal could continue to help people and save them and reap the souls of the poor dead and bring them here for a lovely afterlife.

Crystal agreed to this idea and spent the next few years practicing and perfecting becoming a grim reaper with Geno, and after a few years, Geno turned Crystal into a reaper. Crystal loved being a reaper and spent a lot of time saving people and helping the dead back to the afterlife. She loved this life and was very satisfied with it for the first few decades.

However, as time went on, Crystal got bored. Yes, saving people and taking the souls of the dead was fun and all, but Crystal longed for something more. Then, in a genius idea, she talked to some of the higher ranked reapers about her idea. She pitched the idea as spending some time back in the real world amongst the humans, disguised as a human, to pick out and choose who to reap that wasn't dead. The high reapers agreed to this idea and let Crystal go back to earth to execute her idea.

Crystal had another idea in mind though. She wanted another shot at living and wanted to have the most exciting life she could possibly live, and didn't have any intention to reap anyone while she was down with the humans. Crystal adopted the fake name Samantha Samson and took upon her human disguise, which was really just what she looked like the first time she was alive.

Samantha took to living once again and found that she could do so many things- become a stripper, be a celebrity, run a mafia, and so much more. She was unbound by the rules of the universe and could do anything she wanted because she couldn't die. Samantha mingled with the humans, untouched and loved by all. Along the way though, she slowly made true friends who loved her and appreciated her for who she was, or at least who she was pretending to be. Samantha loved these people more than she had ever cared about anyone before and wanted to do anything for them.

Tragedy, like the bastard he is, struck Samantha once more. The high reapers had found out about Samantha's little ploy and hated her for it, so they did the only real thing they could do- kill her friends.

Samantha, in a moment of heroic panic, struck a deal with all 11 of her friends. She said "You're about to die, and I can stop that. I can bring you to a place where you'll live eternally and nothing can ever hurt you again, but in return you have to play a game with me." Every single one of Samantha's friends agreed to her game and she took them, or specifically took their souls, to a place known as her Void- a place where she could escape to and do whatever she wanted and control it however she wanted without having to deal with the high reapers or any outside influence whatsoever. Samantha let down her 11 friends there, their souls floating as balls of energy in a pitch black expance.

"What are we going to do now?" One of them asked.

"I don't know," Samantha responded.

"You said you wanted to play a game. What game?" Another one of them asked, and Samantha remembered.

"It's a small little game that I just made up. You've agreed to play no matter what, so now I'll tell you what it's about," she said. "It's a game about life and death, a game of misery and heartbreak and friendship and love. We'll be together in this game forever, a replica of a perfect life but then something will happen and you'll all turn on one another, murdering each other while I watch for the enjoyment of it. When I get bored, I'll just reset everything once more and start the game cycle over once more."

"But why? Won't we remember what happened to us before?" One of her friends asked.

"I have power that none of you have. I have magic flowing through my veins, and it's not because I'm a reaper or a god or anything. I'm magic born when none of you are, and that makes me more powerful than all of you combined. I can erase your minds and change anything and everything about you guys that's not set in stone. I can't change your skin or eye or height or natural hair colors or type, but I can change what color you dyed your hair, or how you dress and how you act and everything else about you that's mental."

"But why would you do that?" Someone asked.

"Because I got bored with this world. It's the same thing over and over, and I have no control over any of it. It gets tedious and frustrating when life throws you obstacle after obstacle, but I've decided to change that. I want a game where I can control everything about it, every small detail, and every person who plays it." Biocide smiled. With that villain monologue out of the way, she wiped their memories and restored their bodies. She created a home for them to live in and fabricated an entire world. She gave them all distinct personalities all based around mental disorders and she let them loose, watching and observing as the game went on and as her friends played without knowledge that they were playing a game in the first place.

Time went on and she reset the game again, and again, and again. Time after time. Game 2, Game 7, Game 11 and so on. She picked and chose what traits she wanted and eventually made a list of each specific detail for each game and wrote them down, repeating games over and over in an endless cycle.

Biocide grew bored of this eventually and decided to spice things up. She let go of her friends' spirits and travelled to a point in time-space when nothing existed yet. She used all of her power to create a universe that she could control. She created 5 children for herself- the 5 gods- and gave them all the task to rule over and control the world she'd made. Once the universe was created, she picked a small spot on her favourite planet and called it a country and named it after herself-

*Crystal Skies*

She smiled upon her creation and with a soft sigh, closed her eyes and let the universe destroy her body as each and every single atom in it floated around until it found a purpose in the world. Crystal's soul lived on forever until one day when *a woman gave birth to two beautiful twin girls, Crystal and Holly Leigh.*
