## Personality

Scourge is somewhat of a split personality. One side good, the other side bad. It is unknown how or why Scourge ended up like this, but her history is something she herself says is *"The main reason I live to tell the tale as a villain."*

Scourge can be described as a multitude of things. Curel, mentally ill, heartless. While others see her as a scared little girl who doesn't want to hurt anyone. It just depends on the type of person Scourge opens up to.

Scourge sees themself as a "Monster without redemption."

Most notably, Scourge tends to talk to herself. Whether it be the voices in her head, or the 'Inner-Person in their brain.'

Scourge rarely trusts anyone, and never lets anyone see what they look like underneath her mask. Only one person in particular who she trusts so much with her true identity is unknown. But she cares deeply about that person very much.

## Backstory

Scourge hardly remembers who she was before she entered Reality Zero. But she's pieced together small memories to form what is most likely the closest thing of what they remember about themself.

From what she understands, she was human once before. A teenager to be exact. But.. something happened. Something bad happened. She thinks she died, but doesn't know if that's correct or not

Something was different about her. She felt a dark presence around her wherever she went.

One day, she got too close to the dark presence, and she became different. She felt different. She was powerful. She felt like a queen with all of this power.

She wanted it. She wanted it all. A throne, a crown, loyal subjects. She wanted everything. Most importantly, she wanted respect and love. Scourge never had that before the "accident" happened. So, she made it her quest to finally find someone to love her. Even if she was a horrible monster now.

Her eating habits changed. Every day her hunger grew stronger and stronger. Although, no human food of any sort could ever satisfy her. She took a gamble. Her father, Plague, was a mad scientist. He had dead bodies in his basement all the time. He was able to revive the dead with a serum called Reagent. Scourge went down into the basement one day, starving, craving something she would've never thought she would ever have to taste: human flesh.

She did exactly that. She ate a dead body. It wasn't the freshest, perhaps a day or two old. But it was still food nonetheless. She ate the whole thing. Bones in all. She was satisfied.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. She didn't know why this was happening. But she did know one thing, It felt good.

Over the course of a few days, she was changing again. Her arm started to fade into a deep purple, and claws started to form. She didn't know how to stop it. But what she did know, is that her hunger grew even larger. She thought she could contain the urge for human flesh, but she could not.

She gave in.

But this time, it was a different story. The claw was gone after she was done. She didn't know what was going on with her. Was she a monster?

She did some research. Turns out, something inside of her changed. When she got too close to the dark presence, she became different. That dark presence became a part of her. She became what is known as a 'Shadow.' Which is an undead vengeful ghost, full of hunger. They're known to possess others if they offer them their soul and their body. She was confused. She never offered anyone her body. Unless.. she did?

Maybe she's getting the story **wrong**?

She doesn't know. She doesn't *remember*.. **She doesn't wish to remember.**

Her mind was lost. Her childhood innocence was gone. All that was left was a Shadow monster. Scourge sometimes still hears her. Her old self. But it's nothing but a whisper in her head.

## Reality Zero

### The Devotion to an Empire

Scourge craved for power. She could feel it inside of her. She wanted nothing unless it glowed and shimmered. And she knew who also wanted power: Shadow Midas. A Snapshot of the original Midas. She knew he still wanted revenge on the island because the Loopers banished him for attacking the island a few years ago. Currently, he was being held in the Shadow Realm.

Scourge traveled to the Shadow Realm and was quite nervous to meet Shadow Midas himself. He was known to be quite rude and grumpy to unwelcome visitors. But she knew she could make an offer he couldn't refuse. It was just up to him to say yes or not.

Scourge was greeted by the Empire of Shadow Midas. Although, it was just an empty castle. She found Shadow Midas, sitting on a throne. Looking miserable. She greeted him with a bow. *"I have an offer, your highness."* He looked at her with amusement. *"Speak."* Scourge looked up at him. *"Help me get what I want, and I will help build you an empire and take you back to the Living Realm for vengeance."* He looked at Scourge with curiosity. *"And.. what do you want exactly?"* ***"Styx. I want him gone."***

To give a bit of context, Styx is Scourge's uncle. A bit of a showoff if you ask her. He was always in the spotlight, and she never was. He has everything she wanted: Love, a family, power, people who fear him. He even had a damn faction. Why did he have to get everything? Why not her? Scourge grew a deep hatred for Styx. She wanted him gone, no matter what the cost.

Shadow Midas smiled at Scourge. *"Help me grow an army, and I'll accept your offer."* Scourge nodded. The two shook hands, and The Shadow Empire was born.

Scourge fulfilled her promise. She took Shadow Midas back to the island so they could begin their work.

All she needed now was a reluctant follower.

### The Bird and The Explorer

It was a few weeks since the dawn of The Empire. Already, the residence of the island were in fear for their lives. Although, they were none the wiser that Scourge was one of the members of The Empire. She didn't quite fit the "murderess" stereotype the Shadows had. She was known to be quite silent. Only speaking when she had to. Jokes on them, she had a plan in motion. To grow an army for her king. Her next step was to find someone who would be truly loyal to her. Although, the options were small. She didn't want someone basic, or overly powerful. She wanted someone to entertain her, to give her whatever she needed, she needed someone to manipulate. But who would be willing to join her? She'll figure it out later.

*"Scourge."*

She would look up. It was Shadow Midas. *"Were you daydreaming again?"* She would nod. *"Reluctant Follower dream, again."* She would respond to him. Midas would sigh. *"Why don't you make that dream real? Go out in the wilds. I'm sure you'll find somebody in the jungle."* Scourge nodded. She then teleported to Rumble Ruins. A place infamous for its many, well, ruins to explore. The sun was shining down on Scourge outside. She didn't like it one bit. She'd rather go back in her father's basement and spend her days experimenting away on lifeless corpses. But she can't go back home, not anymore.

Scourge entered one of the ruins, it was dusty, and the air was slightly smoky. How strange. Scourge continued to walk around, just when she stumbled upon a prism of sorts. She didn't quite know why is was there, but she grabbed it anyways.

Just then, she heard the sounds of a pistol. She turned around, to be faced to face with a man. He was fairly tall, had good upper body, and tattoos of a map over his body. Scourge stared at him. *"Well, aren't you a sight for sore eyes..? Can I help you?" "Give me the prism."* His voice was fairly young. Clearly the man was in his mid 20s. Scourge laughed. "Why should I?" *"You don't know what it is or what its for."* Scourge was smirking under her mask. *"Do you?"* She responded with, asking a question at the man. He looked baffled. "Well.. not really." He responded with.

The two stared at each other awkwardly, just then, there was a voice from the distance. *"Renzo? Did you find it yet?"* The man didn't respond. Obviously the voice was calling out for him. *"You don't know what the prism is for, do you?"* Scourge would say, looking at the man. He shook his head no. "*He might be using you to get the prisms. Possibly, he's going to use the prisms for some sort of evil. You're just helping him if you clearly don't know what he's doing."* The man didn't respond. Scourge would walk over and would place her hand on his shoulder. *"You don't deserve him. You're better than this. This prism could possibly the end of the world, and you don't even know what it's for."* The man looked down. He barely had any options. Should he give his friend the prism or not? *"Renzo? You alive down there buddy?"* His friend called out. Time was ticking. *"Sí!" "Oh, good. I thought you died. Did you find the prism?"* The man looked back at Scourge. She made a 'shush' motion with her finger. *"Not yet! But, I'm sure it's here somewhere, Trace!"* Scourge smiled under her mask. He was perfect. Just what she was looking for.

*"I'll give you the prism, if you help me with a little favor.."* Scourge would say. The man looked intrigued. *"A favor?"* This was it. Her moment. *"You see, I have a little problem.. I need an assistant for my work. Someone who's brave, strong, and reckless. ..You seem to fit those standards, err-.."* The man chuckled. "Lorenzo." Scourge was pleased. She was given a name. "*..Lorenzo. Tell me, why do you venture? Is it for for the thrill of danger? Or is it.. Something more?"* At this point, Scourge was close to Lorenzo. *"Ah, well. Adventure is a perilous pursuit.. That's why I love it."* He responded with. *"Is there anything else you're looking for? Perhaps riches, or maybe something else?*" Scourge asked. Lorenzo had a slight smirk on his face. It was clear to Scourge this was going exactly how she wanted it to. "*Why are you so interested in me? Just a few moments ago I had a gun pointed at your head."* Scourge would chuckle. *"Maybe I'm just trying to get to know you. Or maybe not.. Either way, You're exactly what I'm looking for. ..You interested in this job, or no?"* Lorenzo nodded. Scourge tossed the prism to Lorenzo. "*For your troubles, I suppose. Meet me tomorrow at dawn. MEGA City. Understand?"* Lorenzo nodded once again.

*"Good." "Um.. thanks, uh.."* Scourge gave Lorenzo a pat on his shoulder. *"It's Scourge." "Gracias, Scourge."*

### Talking in your sleep

Scourge knew The Empire was getting quite the attention recently. People on the island feared for their lives. They didn't wish to be next.. they didn't wish to join The Empire.. But Scourge wanted them to fear her. She loved the attention. She loved her allies, her enemies, her loyal follower. She loved the fact that all eyes were on her. She was known as many things. A queen, The Bog, a beautiful monster. She adored all the attention. ..it was just what she wanted..

But inside, deeply, she knew somehow, someway, ..this wasn't what she wanted. Well, SHE wanted it. ..But not the voice in her head. The voice was fairly young. A teenager. ..It constantly told her things like "This isn't the answer!" or "What you're doing is cruel!"

The voice has a name. Amygdala. Or more commonly, Amy.

Scourge didn't like Amy, at all. She found her too.. noisy.. too loud.. too obnoxious. ..Everything Scourge used to be. She despised it.

(wip)

### Total Devotion

After having Lorenzo wrapped around her finger for a while, she knew she couldn't keep him close to her without him getting suspicious. So, she came to the conclusion to "up their relationship." She wasn't super fine with it, but she knew it had to be done to keep Lorenzo loyal to her. She could see the look in his eyes, he was falling for her. If she could just.. make him completely fall for her.. her plan could be a success. She would just have to start out slow..

She had been keeping Lorenzo busy for quite a while now. Fetching Loopers, getting ingredients for various experiments, even killing a few Loopers just for amusement for her. Scourge could tell Lorenzo was slowly losing his mind. Slowly turning himself into nothing but a reckless monster. Her plan was working perfectly. She just needed it to tie it up with a ribbon and really seal the deal.

Not to get into specific details, but Scourge lured Lorenzo into her house she was living in at the time, and they..

Slept together.

It started slow. Small kisses, embracing each other with their bodies.

Until Scourge made the next move. She pushed him onto the bed, and well.. they got started.

Scourge doesn't know if she regrets it or not, but she did quite enjoy that evening.

But her plan was in full motion now. Lorenzo after that night became totally obsessed with her. Not in a creepy way, of course. But more.. loving towards her. He complimented her, kissed her, hugged her. But only when they were in private, of course. Scourge didn't mind it at all. She found it amusing that he was so dedicated to pleasing her every needs.

He was in love. Who knew such a lovely night could lead to a mindless boy?

Scourge knows.

***She always knows.***

### The Downfall

Time was ticking for The Empire. They had to make a move sooner or later if they were to dominate the island. (wip)
