## Biography

Scrape, or Pearl MacWilliams by her real name, is the medic and third operator of Velocity's Ripper-Squad. It's her responsibility to make sure none of her teammates die during their missions. Overall, she gets along very well with her fellow squad-members and is especially close friends with Lucas, better known as "Menace".

### **Prior to "Crisis Management"**

Pearl was born and raised in Bluelu, and lived a fairly normal life as a kid, though it is to note that she often got into trouble due to her being rather hot-headed and snarky. After graduating school with outstanding results, she went on to medical school, however, dropped out midway through. The things she learned were still acknowledgeable by some sectors though, and while she didn't qualify to be doctor and such, Pear did receive e a job in PMC named "Roadwell", being allowed to work there as a medical specialist, while living happily with her husband Stanley and her two children Jasper and Amber. The future looked very bright for her when she later on got promoted to the head of Roadwell's medical department.

Unfortunately, the Great Continental War broke out just a few months later.

The first stages of the war were unsettling for sure, but didn't really affect civilians themselves in Hunliny. However, after Varstovka joined the opposing forces, things went south for the allied forces real fast: Both military and civilian facilities got bombed to dust, constant enemy air-raids and artillery-fire, nuclear threats, the list goes on and on. Sadly, Pearl and her family weren't spared by the war. During a siege, her and her entire family got caught in the crossfire of two battling forces. Although Pearl herself did survive, she still had to witness her parents, husband and two young children getting helplessly killed in the crossfire. These losses affected her badly, although she tends to avoid showing it. She also developed anger and anxiety issues, and even resorted to drinking and self harm.

After the war, Pear joined another PMC: Velocity. There, she tried continuing her old job by working in their medical department. It's possible that she then got involved in their illegal business amongst other things, such as treating injured members of Velcity's "Minor Underground Operations Department" (MUOD). One day however, a group of heavily armed mercenaries of a rivaling PMC violently charged into Velocity's main complex and started attacking the people inside. Eventually, they've had tried to kill Pearl as well but she wasn't having any of that. Although getting one of her eyes badly injured, Pearl managed to drag herself to the security's armory and grabbed a sub-machine gun. Driven by a violent outburst of anger, she annihilated a majority of the intruders all by her own, while the rest was taken care of by security and arriving police forces. The leading staff of Velocity were impressed by her abilities in combat, so they've made her an offer: Joining the newly formed "Ripper-Squad", a small special underground taskforce to deal with high-tier operations involving all sorts of illegal activities.

Joining the Ripper-Squad as its field-medic, Pearl became well aquainted with its other members: She gets along very well with her leader Tyson Rootewaters, and became very close friends fellow operative Lucas Wollcroft. Unlike Tyson, she gets along well with the mysterious fellow squadmate "Predator" too. It is also to note that she seems to be very good at communicating with him, despite him being mute, as she is easily able to understand him without much verbal exchange. Pearl also was on decent terms with the Ripper Squadron's first handler, Liam Taylor. After the latter however was found out to be a rat and thus dealt with, the squad was assigned a new handler, Tamara Books, who still has to get aquainted with the Rippers.

During Pearl's time in Velocity, a corrupted job she mainly does to stay above water and to finance her drinking habit, her mental health actually seemed to stop degrading. She is aware that her line of work is anything than noble, but truth is; After losing the ones so close to her, she couldn't care less.

### **During the events of "Crisis Management"**

#### **Chapter 1**

The Ripper-Squad is called to a late meeting, to discuss new plans. Pearl, Lucas and Predator wait outside in a hallway, while their squad-leader Tyson and their handler Tamara attend said meeting. During it, the Rippers are assigned to now work directly under Sean Walker's command, the right hand of VC's head Terrence Winston Warman, and the leader of VC's Bureau for High Tier Operations (BHTO). This is also where Tamara is now officially assigned as the Ripper Squad's new handler. After Tyson and Tamara exit the meeting and let the rest of the Rippers know the news, they call it a night. It is implied that Pearl and Lucas were planning to spend the night together outside, as the latter aplogizes to her and tells her to already be on her way while he quickly deals with something first, but promising her that dinner would be on him. With a content smile, Pearl walks out the hallway with Predator.

## Role

**Medic:** Pearl is responsible of the physical well-being of her squad.
## Noteable Relationships

 **Lucas Wollcroft** | Lucas is a fellow Ripper operative, and a very close friend of Pearl. The two may even seem inseperable at times, crack jokes together, and very often spend time together outside of the job. She refers to him as "Luke".
 **"Predator"** | Predator is a fellow Ripper operative, and a good friend of Pearl. He may be mute and rather intimidating-looking, though she really doesn't seem to be bothered by it. In fact, in the entire team it seems Pearl is the one who gets along best with him.
 **Tamara Books** | Tamara is the Rippers' newest handler. Despite of that though, the members get along very well with her already, with Pearl being no exception.
 **Sean Walker** | Sean is the dangerous head of VC's BHTO and the company's overseer, and thus a very important key figure of the PMC, being the right-hand man of the one who steers it all. Though Pearl really doesn not seem to be that impressed by Sean's boldness and sociopathic nature, even labelling him a jerk.
 **Terrence W. Warman** | Terrence is the head of Velocity, being the man who pulls all the strings. He doesn't interact much with the Rippers per say, though they, and this includes Pearl, know to respect and fear him.

## Trivia

* Pearl's injured eye still appears to be bleeding, as the wound often gets tampered with by her.
