The Scorch lady BIO

Edit 06/02/2017: Added Forest Bride and children to Neutral.

This is a slenderverse character, however I don't mind her being mix up with other creepypastas.


Name:
The Scorch Lady
(Name given to her by the locals she was born nearby, used as a ghost story to scare travelers and keep nosy kids out of the forest).

Nicknames:
(None yet. If your oc is an acquaintance/ally/enemy/neutral, you can suggest one you think you oc will call her with.)

Age:
Currently (2016) 651.

Day of Birth:
Was born around 1365.

Height:
Around 8ft tall more or less.
(Rough height comparison sta.sh/01tgp30rjxwi)

Species:
Slender being.

Personality:
Reserved, polite with strangers, but don’t confuse her politeness with kindness.
Keeps a calm façade until something triggers her enough to get mad. Scorch is the type that will punish her proxies with a calm demeanor, even when the proxy is squirming, bleeding and severely hurt.
When in rage, she’ll trash and kill or hurt whoever is close nearby. There are not much things that can trigger her this badly, but some include mentioning her scars, damaging her hair in any way, someone flinching/acting disgusted after seeing her scars and Sulker mention or presence. 
She’s not used to first hand kindness and will distrust anyone who acts friendly with her on the first meeting, after all, she learned from the beginning to be distrustful and slenders aren’t known for being “nice”.
Any approach other than serious, cordial or wary, will confuse her, Scorch is not used to flirting and won’t be sure how to answer (or identify when someone is actually flirting with her).
She’s not fond of others touching her, unless she sees them as allies, even so, she’s not used to friendly hugs and such, freezing in place and looking confused.  

Notable features:
-Her skin is white as the majority of the slenders, but hers has big burn scars all over her body. This scarred skin is fragile, easy to cut like normal human skin and takes longer to heal than her white, slender skin.

-Some of the skin that covers Scorch face burned down so badly during her forced birth, that the skin that covered the right side over her mouth, won’t grow again. Her teeth are sharp, big and deadly, with a long, thin, black tongue.

-She has the not very common trait of hair, white as her skin. However, she also lost most of it during the fire, growing now mostly on the left side of her head.

Power, skills, strengths:
-Since she isn’t as physically strong as normal slenders, Scorch has learned to fight with ways that don’t require brute force. Is manipulative, sneaky and back stabbing.

-Her tendrils, even while thin, can stab through skin and tissue.

-Her bite is strong, her fangs big and always sharp.

-It’s hard for her to speak, so she’ll usually project her thoughts into others minds or use a proxy as a “talking puppet”, controlling them just enough to make them talk for her.

-Since she’s physically weak, she has trained her mental powers above all. It’s easy for Scorch to force humans into becoming her puppets (for example the “sleeping proxies”, who are forced to work for their master with a second personality they are not always aware of). This only works effectively with weak mind humans, during short periods of time for mid strong humans and rarely with strong will ones.
Other mental abilities include mental communication with her proxies even in long distances, controlling them for talking like stated above and taking glances through her proxy’s eyes.   

Weaknesses:
-Her vocal cords got severely damaged, forcing her to speak in hushed, hoarse and sometimes distort, although that doesn’t stop her of shouting profanities at Sulker every given chance. After speaking for a while, her throat will hurt.

-Scorch is sensitive to strong lights, natural or artificial. A light pointed to her face will confuse her for some seconds, giving enough time to run away or attack her. (I still have no idea how slenders see, but since a lot of them seem to have their eyes under the skin…let’s say she has them too).

-For a slender being she’s on the weak side. However, she’s still a strong creature compared to humans.

-Due the odd nature of her tentacles, she can’t retract them fully. Even so, she is still able to elongate or shrink them.

Likes:
-While resting, Scorch will tangle her tentacles in high branches and sit on the adjoined tentacles as if they were a hammock or a big spider web. 

-Has a liking for nice long dresses, also for dressing decent, with no damaged clothes. Is also proud of her hair, even if it’s not much in quantity.

-The night time, when she can walk without worrying about the sun light.

Dislikes:
-She has a deep hatred for the Sulkerman, he was the one responsible for her premature birth and all the problems this caused.

-Fire triggers her badly. Scorch will go in between blind fear and blind rage.

-When others flinch after seeing her face and burn scars. Flinch and you’ll be up for a painful ride.

- Hates her scars, avoids to look at them as much as possible, dressing with long clothing that covers most of them.

Short History:

(Scorch birth is based on my new fan theory or head canon on how slender beings are made. This is inspired by the theory the slender brothers made each other and the nickname “tree man” sometimes given to Slenderman. I’ll post the details later, but in short, a slender will make a hole on a tree, inside they’ll poor blood among other ingredients. If done correctly, a slender will start growing inside the tree. The time varies from slender to slender, but it takes years to happen. When ready to go out, usually at a physical age of 15, the slender will break the tree bark from the inside and go out to the world, fully prepared to survive.)

During Scorch cocoon state, another slender found her tree. She was in deep sleep, at least a year more for her to be ready to go out. Unfortunately, she wasn’t given the time. The Sulkerman, the slender being whom found her tree, lit it up with fire. Even asleep, the survival instincts kicked in and Scorch woke up disoriented and in pain. She clawed her way out the burning tree, the heat licking her fragile skin, light damaging her eyes used to darkness, fire burning her body that tried to cure as fast as possible. Scorch crawled until an external force pick her off the ground by her head. She faced the slender that had push her out of safety. The whole event was a blurry mess and when Scorch woke up again she laid down in the cold forest floor, alone and body hurting all over.

Scorch learned to project her thoughts into the villagers that went deep into the forest, dressing her voice with sorrow, pleading for rescue. The foolish humans neared her disheveled form just to be trapped by her tentacles, strangled to death before Scorch eat them. This went on over decades, slowly recovering her health, able to move a little more within the years, but never healing fully.
When she was able to move freely, Scorch started her search for the slender that had provoked her misfortune.
It was a big surprise for both when Scorch successfully found said slender. Sulker was surprised, but amused, engaging into a ruthless fight with the younger female.
Scorch was not able to defeat Sulkerman, him being older and strong, she retreated, but kept looking for a way to become stronger.

With the centuries she has learned to fight in more indirect manners. Now her major purposes are others, but she is always in the lookout for Sulker.

Slender sickness:
Scorch slenders sickness shows with burning sensation, most of times accompanied by fever and fever chills, eye stinging, blurry vision and in extreme cases vomit, cough attacks and headaches

Proxies:
Scorch tends to look for proxies, but is not limited to, with low profile abilities. For example: hackers, stalkers, pick pocketing, non-frontal combat, etc.

Relatives:
Scorch never knew her sibling creator, hence she doesn’t know whom she is related too. She hasn’t created another slender being either.

Allies:
(Ask to be added.)

-Mother (thescarletcrow.deviantart.com/… TheScarletCrow )
At the eginning Scotch felt distrustful, thinking Mother was just nice to her because her scars, but after first impressions she accepted the love and motherly gestures, since she never had that and doesn't knows whom her relatives are due her abrupt birth thanks to Sulker.

Neutral:
(Ask to be added. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. She’ll be in good terms with whoever dislikes Sulkerman as much as she does.)

-Boogeyman (charlottelaantz.deviantart.com… charlottelaantz):
Lets just say their first meeting was... interesting. Scorch inability to speak very loud with Boogeyman small English understanding, plus Scorch bashfulness for not being used to seeing someone with such rebelling attire, Boogey interest for her odd tendrils and Scorch slapping him as a result. Scorch doesn’t hate him, but she doesn’t understand him either.

-The Forest Bride and children (creeperboxx.deviantart.com/art… creeperboxx.deviantart.com/art…): Scorch used to be wary of the creature, but after long time of studying her carefully, she cataloged her as a non-threat and stop paying her attention, not minding the female presence and just cordially greeting whenever they crossed paths. Scorch has a soft spot for small kids, Forest Bride children being part of the few creatures she doesn’t mind at all. Always keeps a respectful distance and will let the children approach as much as they feel comfortable with. She can’t understand the meaning behind their chirping, but enjoys it non the less. When in particular good mood, Scorch will leave fresh, sweet fruit for them to find.  

Rivals:
(Ask to be added.)

Enemies:
(Ask to be added. Scorch will fight anyone who gets between her and her goal of killing Sulker. Aside that, she usually avoids fights with other slenders since she’s usually not as strong as them.)

-The Sulkerman or Sulker (a-dreamare.deviantart.com/art/…):
Scorch wants him dead. This slender being is the one responsible for her physical state

 

 

FAQ

Can I make a Scorch lady proxy? / What are the guidelines for Scorch proxies?
I’d be honored if someone wanted to make a proxy for Scorch! Here's the guide to help you out a-dreamare.deviantart.com/art/…

Can my Creepypasta/Slenderverse character be Friends/Allies/Rivals/Enemies?
It would depend on the case, the hardest one is friends, but the others can be.
The only thing I ask is for you to put a link of your character in the description and tell me which you are interested in and how do you think your character would feel towards Scorch. It can be short of long, but it will be easy for me to give you an answer this way, instead of having to improvise everything myself

Shipping?
As almost all my oc’s, yes, you can ship with Scorch with however you like, as long as it is a crackship/fan ship, aka a ship for fun. Also don’t fight over ships.

Can I draw her?
Sure! No need to ask. All I ask for is the content must NOT be offensive, promote hate or humiliate/degrade Scorch. You can draw gore (she’s a horror character after all) and I don’t mind nsfw art, however, keep in mind DA rules.
