Alibrand/Wigbrand

**Alibrand and Wigbrand** (Scovillain) are major antagonists in the spin-off story Bandit of the Outlands: Sand and Toxins. They are mercenaries working under the notorious Deadly Seven, specialized in population control within the Outlands.

## History

As a young Capsakid, Alibrand worked on a farm in the Outlands to provide food for prominent parties operating in the lawless land. He worked alongside his parents with hopes to take over the farm one day and become a major influential power to change the Outlands for the better.

One night, when he was thirteen, Alibrand was awoken to the sound of a Haxorus from a local gang breaking into his family's home and slaughtering his parents. The death of his parents triggered Alibrand's evolution as he entered a state of tranquil rage, reaffirming his beliefs that the Outlands needed to be put under his control. Through his newfound strength, Alibrand and the newly split Wigbrand killed their parents' murderer. With the vengeance established, they set out to make their claim in the Outlands with a newfound taste for blood.

Sometime later, Alibrand and Wigbrand would do business with the Broken Glass Alchemical Company to obtain a serum to boost the effects of their techniques. At some point, they would hear rumors of the company's dark secrets in studying the link between life and death, and they would become invested in obtaining those secrets.

## Personality

Once a single creature, the evolution into a Scovillain split and grounded the personalities of Alibrand and Wigbrand.

Alibrand is the more social of the duo, acting as the leader between their shared body. He is welcoming to all who come to Crimehallow, which he set up as his base of operation. He enjoys throwing parties for the weary mercenaries and Freaks of the Outlands, believing that the misery that follows should be alleviated even if for a night. However, his internal resentment towards the Outlands also pushes him to act insidiously, luring unsuspecting travelers to become part of his blood pepper harvest and using their nutrients to create unique peppers.

Wigbrand took on the damage Alibrand sustained when he was apparently dropped on his head as a child. He is the more chaotic of the two, often speaking the first thing that comes to mind and having a crippling obsession with muffins. He has his moments of eloquence, once discussing the mysteries of the universe and secrets left undiscovered before reverting back to his usual insane behavior. Despite his friendly disposition, he's arguably the most volatile of the duo as he acts on their shared impulses.

## Abilities/Skills

**Overall Abilities-** According to Alibrand and Wigbrand, they are the fifth strongest members of the Deadly Seven. They specialize in deception, luring people into traps before activating their Blood Pepper Harvest. They work better at taking out larger groups than one-on-one brawls. They are fast and nimble, making the best use out of their environment to get the edge over an opponent.

**Charisma-** Alibrand does most of the talking for him and Wigbrand, aiming to get on someone's good side before backstabbing them.

**Cooking-** The brothers run a bar and specialize in cooking. Their specialty is spicy muffins made from the peppers they grow.

### Equipment

* **Farming Scythe-** The brothers' weapon of choice is a farming scythe that they use primarily to inflict open wound onto targets in conjunction with their main technique.
* **Farming Sickles-** An alternate choice of weapon wielded by the brothers. Typically used in conjunction with their Extra Spicy Emperor Scorpion Fangs.
* **Spicy Muffins-** Certain muffins the brothers make are laced with Rage Powder, causing whoever eats them to enter an aggressive high that'll increase their bloodthirsty nature.
* **Growth Formula-** Obtained from the Faucher family, this formula was created under the belief it would boost the brothers' ability to grow peppers. In actuality, it was requested to be injected into their bodies and boost the effectiveness of their Blood Pepper Harvest.

### Moveset

**Ability-** Insomnia

* Spicy Extract
* Leech Seed

### Enhanced Moves

* **Blood Pepper Harvest-** A combination of Grassy Terrain, Spicy Extract, and Leech Seed. The brothers create a territory of green mist that can extend over the area of a town. Anyone who breathes in the mist, even Grass-Types, will inhale miniature spores that grow within the body. The more excited or active the body is, the faster the spores grow. Vines covered in capsaicin will grow out from open wounds and restrict the target while converting their nutrients and blood into peppers. Furthermore, any damage the brothers take will be instantly healed off while inside the territory. The more victims claimed by their territory, the more potent their healing is.
* **Mini Pepper Scattershot-** A combination of Bullet Seed and Fire Fang. The brothers fire out Bullet Seed wrapped in the flames of Fire Fang. Each one delivers a stinging bite of flame onto whoever they strike.
* **Extra Spicy Crunch-** An alternate form of Mini Pepper Scattershot. By scraping their teeth along a blade, primarily their scythe, they fire out a serrated blade of flame to slice up anyone caught in its path.
	+ **Chef's Special-** A variant of the technique that fires multiple weaker fire blades
* **Extra Deluxe Spicy Dragon Sauce-** A combination of Spicy Extract and Rage Powder. The brothers spit up red goop sprinkled in green powder at their target. This inflicts the effects of both combined moves, causing the target to go on a mindless rampage with little sense for their safety.
* **Binding Pepper Garden-** A combination of Bullet Seed, Leech Seed, and Spicy Extract. The brothers fire Bullet Seed at their target. Once it hits, vines covered in red-tipped thorns grow out of the seeds and bind the target. The thorns are laced with capsaicin, causing an immense burning sensation to the target.
* **Supreme Pepper Garden-** A combination of Grassy Terrain, Leech Seed, and Spicy Extract. The brothers touch the ground, spreading their energy over their territory, and summon a wall of thorny vines laced with capsaicin.
* **Extra Hot Reaper Bites-** A combination of Fire Fang and Spicy Extract. The brothers spit up flaming red goop that takes on the shape of fangs. It bites down on the target, delivering massive amounts of pain, especially to open wounds.
* **Extra Spicy Scorpion Fang-** A combination of Fire Fang and Spicy Extract. By grinding their teeth along their weapon, they impart a flammable variant of their Spicy Extract that sets the blade ablaze, increasing their cutting power.
* **Extra Spicy Scorpion Whip-** A variation of Extra Spicy Scorpion Fang. By pulling and ripping their arm under the effects of Blood Pepper Harvest, they can elongate it to any length they wish. They then tie their arm to their weapon while it is burning and use it as a long-range weapon.
* **Extra Spicy Emperor Scorpion Fangs-** A variation of Extra Spicy Scorpion Fang, this time using twin sickles instead of a scythe.
