Scythiamese (by Hedgy2099)

## Scythiamese

Scythiamese is an Undead Sentinel Sensei who has no fangame appearance. Two sibling Undead Elves who work together to get the job done, even utilising magic to create a singular combined form, known as Scythiamese.

## Background

### Personality

Scythiamese puts up a serious front, not really speaking much and mainly making grunts. But when, separated, the twins Scy and Amese are much more talkative. Scy tries to be more serious while Amese is much more chaotic and non-sensical.

### Biography

Growing up in the Underworld can normally spell disaster on a child's chances in life, but the twin siblings, Scy and Amese, proved somewhat different. Much like the last undead elf, they had a good heart to them both, but had something holding them back from becoming full-fledged Skylanders; their physical abilities.

When you grow up in a world of the already dead, your own mortality is the last of your concerns. So, when they made attempts to get into Skylander Academy, only wishing to be trained as run-of-the-mill Skylanders, they failed to meet the requirements on endurance, sustainability and recovery. It seemed to them that all they could do now was just act as reapers for the underworld.

Or at least, they would've been forced into that life, had it not been for rather convenient circumstances. On their defeated return to the underworld, they came across Chopscotch who seemed in over her head. Looking for a chance to improve their capabilities, Scy and Amese leapt into assist the Sensei, and their tag-teaming technique overwhelmed the overwhelming ghouls. Once the fight cleared, Chopscotch seemed surprised that these two weren't even Skylanders in training, and that their skills could benefit even the Senseis.

With their explanation given, the ghoul gave them a recommendation; seek out the sorceress Hex. Once they found her, Scy and Amese found themselves caught off guard by a spell, knocking the two of them out. But once they came to, they were seeing solo. They had been hit by a combining spell, merging them into a standalone entity, though they could still split off into themselves at will. Now with their capabilities at twice the amount, and a little help from Chopscotch's recommendation, Scythiamese was officially endorsed, not into the Academy, but as a Sensei.

## Gameplay

### Overview

Whether it's tag-teaming terror or solo missions, Scythiamese offers the best of both worlds. What appears to be an ordinary reaper Skylander can split up into their real selves with just the press of a button, taking the double-edged combos & spiral shenanigans of Scythiamese's conjoint form into singular sickle combos and twin fan attacks while Scy and Amese are split up. Whether you prefer Scythiamese as one or Scy & Amese as two, there's a combo route for you. Their Sky-chi shows even more faces as the twins throw out shadowy clone jutsu to ravish the competition.

### Abilities

#### Basic

**These Abilities are available from the start of the game**.

* **Partners In Crime**

Press Attack 2 to cause Scythiamese to split up into the twins Scy and Amese for more coverage. While they're split up, Scythiamese's current HP is halved between the two of them, in exchange for an increase to their Speed and Power stats (from 8 to 14 & from 10 to 12 respectively). If Attack 2 is pressed again or one of the two is defeated, they will be rejoint.

#### Basic Upgrades

**Skylanders can buy these new abilities from Persephone or Power Pods**.

#### Upgrade Paths

**Skylanders can only pick one of the two available paths, each with their own set of three Upgrades focused on enhancing one part of their Moveset. All four Basic Upgrades must have been purchased before picking an Upgrade Path**

Get a brand new scythe! Now, Scythiamese will move faster while attacking, and has greater attack range.

*(Changes, both actual and cosmetic, only apply while conjoint)*

***Two Heads are Better*** (Scy and Amese work best as a team, so when they're not joined up, improve their tag-teaming techniques!)

* **Acrobatic Execution** (Costs 1,700 Gold)

Press Attack 2 whilst in mid-air to recall both twins to one area, then throw their sickles down to unleash dark shockwaves!

* **Scythe-clone** (Costs 2,200 Gold)

While using Fanning Duo, if Scy & Amese's sickles clash, they will be conjoint into a double-edged scythe. From there, the attack width, damage & speed are all increased until Attack 3 is released.

* **Regroup & Relax** (Costs 4,000 Gold; requires Scythiamese's Soul Gem in undecidedstage)

When Scy & Amese are rejoint, Scythiamese will recover a percentage of their current HP (up to 20%).

*(This only applies when they're rejoint by Attack 2; if one is KO'd, Scythiamese won't recover health. Scythiamese's current HP is also remembered when splitting off, and can't be healed back to full via Regroup & Relax)*

#### Sky-chi Power

**A special Move exclusive to Skylanders of the Sensei class, these need to be unlocked at Sensei Shrines, and require the Skylander to deal 10,000 damage in order to refill after use**.
