## History

Scorp one day trued re-integrating within society. She found herself roaming Liraz before long, and after signing legal paperwork she didn’t even understand, she moved into Liraz. After about 2 months, however, she felt she didn’t belong, and decided to roam the rest of the continent and the world. She set sail, hiked, and just thought on life a bunch.

When she returned from this world expedition, she and the world around her had changed a lot. Scorp had grown a distaste for governments other than Liraz, blaming them for the loss of her people, as they looked very similar to the attackers. During this time, she heard stories about a man named “Baja” who had been on a crusade against tyranny. She decided to come back and join him, only to find the streets in chaos.

Coming back, Scorp found out a lot of harsh news. The fall of Elementum, the disappearance of their target, Raf, and more. Scorp found and moved in with Baja. However, during the time spent at the mansion, she would begin seeing ghostly figures appear. Many thought they weren’t real, that they were a product of some mental illness, but to her, they were very real. Scorp, meanwhile, decided to start gathering info on the Athenian Republic, where she would meet Rey.

Rey was a simple café owner. Scorp walked in for a drink one day, and the two became friends pretty soon after. They would get themselves into all kinds of chaos and funny situations, and grew a close bond with each other as friends. Rey tried even to help Scorp with her haunting problem, to moderate success. Through their close bonds, Rey and Scorp would often meet in secret.

All good things must end, though. Baja led the Athenian Government to their very home after one plan, and he burned the entire thing down. They took him away, and Dj and Scorp, who were also becoming friends at the time, hopped out the window and flew off. Scorp decided to finish creating her new town in the arctic zone, where she would found UnderFrost. Rey would become the only outsider to ever be invited into the town by Scorp, where they would simply relax away from the world’s worries. Scorp founded inhuman labs, a business, and much more through this one town. Dj, however, eventually fell out of favor with the outcasts and disconnected ties with Scorp.

Scorp went onward to found Cherry Town in the area that Sleepy Hollow once stood. The town was much more lively and beautiful that UnderFrost, as houses were built and the town flourished. The rift began to pose a threat to the continent all the while, and Scorp ignored everyone’s warnings and kept trying to fix the problem with her own knowledge, having no faith in other governments to do so. The LS would join Vita Nova, as their research was astonishing and useful to both parties. However, this rift nonsense would attract the anger of Doryu, a former Sleepy Hollow resident.

Doryu attacked the town one night, while Scorp and Rey were walking around and looking at the town’s growth. She would burn down houses, destroy roads, and even killed some people before attacking Scorp. Scorp was no match at the time and succumbed to the fight after some resistance. Doryu would vanish afterwards, and Rey would help rush Scorp to get help before bringing her back to her café. Scorp would end up going to Mafu, who would offer healing for Scorp’s wounds. Scorp, thankful for the kindness, went back to Cherry Town and cleaned up the rubble for a bit. She would eventually help in the closing of the rift at the end of chapter 4, leading into her massive decline.

Chapter 5 begins, and Scorp falls onto her face. Money becomes tighter for her as the economy worsens on her end. Stress is piling up, and it's kicking her mental state’s ass. Scorp needed a break, and she need it badly. That’s when Orphne showed her around The Grove and helped her lease an apartment. She gets an invitation to the Wisteria Festival by Orphne and to the dinner during the festival. Scorp joyfully agrees to go, not knowing what the party was even about. She sponsored the festival with some of her company profits under S-Corp. and got herself readied.

Everyone was at the party. Friends, foes, and new faces. Raf was there, Academy was there, etc., which caused her a great deal of anxiety. Orphne had to calm her down and talk with her a few times throughout the festival, as she simply wasn’t used to it all. She showcased her tech, meeting a curious multiversal traveler through it named Dave Phoenix. The liveliness only went up until Orphne called her friends and family to the dinner table. Scorp couldn’t get her mind off of everything, but she tried her best to sit through the whole thing peacefully. She tried speaking to Remedi, knowing about her through Baja, before she ran off from Scorp and the dinner table.

She had a plan, and she had to execute it. She wanted to free her friend, Baja, and was ready to go through hell to free him. She got Rey to unknowingly gather information for her by having her visit Baja. She took the information and used it to her fullest. She stole the uniform of a guard and infiltrated the prison, bringing Baja to the roof, before igniting an explosive on the roof and flying off. This incurred the wrath of Orphne, though, as Scorp locked herself in her apartment. She had Baja locked up and handcuffed and everything, as they both stayed inside and Zeta went out stealthily to get necessities. Eventually, though, Orphne would surely find them.

Scorp went down to the lake where the rift once was to soothe her mind, to put her tense body at ease. She didn’t, however, expect to meet the dark disciple Locke that evening, as he crashed onto the planet nearby and Scorp brought him with her to her apartment. Orphne followed her though, getting sources on the streets. Soon enough, in the middle of talking with Baja and Locke, she came furiously into the building. Scorp knew she had no time, and so she gave Locke and Baja invisibility potions. Scorp had to confront Orphne in her apartment on her intrusion alone. Orphne pressed and pressed her buttons, inching closer and closer to the corner of the room, until Scorp decided enough was enough. She opened the cage, turned herself invisible, and ran off with Baja and Locke.

Scorp was on the run again with 4 others. When her people needed her most, when the darkest times fell upon them, when their whole nation collapsed, she couldn’t help them. She felt terrible for what happened to her people, and began changing her mind, but knew there was no way out. Scorp helped Locke and Baja break into Raf’s house and steal the Decayer Stone. They took the stone, the kids, and themselves to the top of the decayer mountain, where a fateful battle would take place.

## Chapters 3-5

### Chapter 3

Scorp appears in chapter 3, after spending 13 years in the wilderness. At the prime age of 19, she joins Liraz. But over the course of the time skip, we see Scorp unhappy with any home on Liraz or anywhere else. She would soon after join the outcasts with her friend, Dj. She would help plot several events and help rig the mansion's lava and door systems. She would jump out the window with Dj at the end of chapter 3, now furious. She wanted her friend back, and she'd stop short of anything to get Baja back.

### Chapter 4

During chapter 4, Scorp juggles a heavy wave of emotions. As the founder and vita nova rep of the Liberation Society, she had her hands full. She would vent regularly to Rey during this time to relieve stress. They grew close. But the rift posed a serious threat, and Scorp repeatedly defied multipol and AR orders to not go near the rift. She wanted to close it. But this led to the Doryu attack upon Cherry Town, taking Scorp's first canon life and leaving her badly injured. Later on, we see Scorp join forces with multipol, the SMD, and her friends to help fight the demons at the rift. After the finale, Scorp is left depressed, and feeling pointless.

### Chapter 5

In chapter 5, we see Scorp's health take a decline. She buys an apartment in The Grove to escape the pressure of the LS and to open a new business, as inflation clamped down on her wallet. It is here that Scorp properly meets Orphne. During a short time, they go along great, Orphne even considering Scorp one of her own children. An alliance, known as "Welcome to the underground", would be formed between The Grove and the LS. Scorp would supply Orphne and her people with S-Corp tech to help them prepare to go up to the surface. She would be a sponsor of the Wisteria Festival and showcase her tech at a booth there. This comes to a point of Scorp enjoying being around Orphne, and, by consequence, growing detached from her past and her people. She also has grown a disliking for Dj's behavior, as he seems much less trustworthy as of late. She dearly misses Baja, though, and wants him back.

#### The Prison Break

It began with Scorp asking Rey to go to the prison, which she did. She came back and made a map of the prison for Scorp. But when she went, Baja tried to get into her head. According to her wiki page, it may have not worked, according to her relationship chart. She learned of Baja's prison situation, which, to say the least, has bedrock everywhere.

Scorp would show up to the prison disguised as a guard she previously took down and stole the uniform of. The alarm would be sounded while she was on the second floor due to guards finding the security office man knocked out under his desk. She blew up the second floor elevator stop to stop the guards from reaching her on top of the prison. She left the books "The Prison" and "Last Page" on the roof before leaving. She is currently being hunted by multiple people and groups. Her whereabouts, canonically, are unknown. She is in The Grove secretly in her apartment, the windows shuttered like usual.

#### Locke

Scorp, while relaxing at the lake left by the rift, notices a massive comet crash nearby. She investigates it, being the first to arrive. Locke, a dark disciple, hops out of the crater, eyes glowing purple like the comet. He convinces Scorp to help him get the Decayer Stone with added help from the outcasts' newest recruit, Dave Phoenix.

### Eviction and last weeks

Scorp was found eventually by Orphne and evicted from her apartment. Shortly after this, the event "The end of the LS" took place, permanently leaving her homeless. She now is loaded into a custom rigged semi-truck alongside Dave, Baja, Feath, and Locke, with the Inhuman Anomalies in a tank stored in the back of the truck. They are on their way to Athena.

Scorp, however, seems to be showing regret and remorse. She does not trust the others, especially Locke. She has a feeling something is up with Locke and Dave...

**Also, what's with Scorp and Dave recently?...**

Scorp assisted Baja, Locke, and Dave with breaking into Raf’s house to steal the Decayer Stone, not knowing what Locke had in mind for it.

After stealing the Decayer Stone, Locke ordered Meiji Corp mercenaries to kidnap a few of the children from the beach episode. This led to both Scorp and Baja becoming outraged at the fact that Locke kidnapped seemingly innocent children.

They proceeded to climb the mountain to the altar for the Decayer Stone. A standoff occurs, with the Outcasts at their peak…

## Chapters 6-10

### The immediate after-effects of the Decayer

After the decayer event concluded, and Scorp was put under SEDF Custody. After weeks of questioning for her involvement with DD's and Community Service, where she learned more about these outsiders, she was let go and all presumed charges were dropped. she stuck around long enough to see the founding of the United States of Emerlin, before leaving. She took with her a surprising amount of people for what had happened, as well as taking along Eleanor. They traveled for a month, scavenging for resources along the path. Eventually they founded Paix as Eleanor left to see a new world, and soon after the discovery of mooshroom isles in the sea near Paix, she found Ninx and Kita in two different unknown locations, Eleanor all went there to form the new town of Dalis with permission of Scorp. With those two towns and a sizeable slice of the planet’s population, they formed Havre. Despite the hiccups of actually settling this new land, things went smooth. Scorp’s well versed knowledge of the previous technology (such as radios and tv) combined with the files, blueprints, etc stored inside of Zeta allowed them to not stay trapped in the stone age for too long. However, Scorp realizes the danger nonetheless of giving a large plethora of technology to everyone quickly, and decides to artificially slow-churn advancements.

As nations began to bloom, Havre quickly ascended the world rankings, reaching third place on the first leaderboard list after the decayer event. It established several alliances, and gain substantial land claims over time. Scorp would give birth to Lucy ~9 months after the decayer event, 6 months before chapter 6.
