scorpionsect

There are a couple of things I would like to note before you decide to leave me critique.

I don't know the novel version Far Away Wanders. I would like to, but I currently have no access to an English version of it. I only know the tv series that is Word of Honors. I have some basic ideas that Scorpion is treated differently in both adaptions.

In regards to episode 35. Scorpion will take the blame for creating the opening to the mass murdering spree in Ghost Valley. He will also take credit for baiting the Five Alliance there and for bringing in his Drug Men. He does not take credit for Gu Xiang's death or Liu Qian Qiao's death. At best they were collateral damage and not his actual target. Liu Qian Qiao was actually someone he cared for and was upset to learn that her pressence was there and she had died. If anything his actual target was Wen Ke Xing.

I also personally believe he would never willingly tell this to someone like Wen Ke Xing or Zhou Zishu UNLESS something in the game prompts this to happen especially if this ruins a chance at a possible truce.

If I am replacing a previous player, I expect to be treated as a new face and to be given a chance. If you expect me to follow what the previous character has done, I expect an actual discussion and a chance for my character to prove he is not that same version. Continuity can happen, but expect changes to go with it.


I currently play Scorpion right before his death in the final episode.

Personality:


Xie’er was a child who lived on the streets and eventually taken in by a sect leader known as Zhao Jing. As one of the children that were taken in, he was giving his own room, nice robes and accessories, an education, taught etiquette, and music lessons. He was also taught martial arts and swordsmanship as being part of the sect. On the side Xie’er learned about poisons and became quite adept with them. He does also know basic cooking, cleaning, sewing skills, and adept at healing people.

Xie’er thrived on the praise and attention (including negative) he received from Zhao Jing he called godfather. The other was aware and used it to control him. He also kept Xie’er at a distance as well. It was rare for Xie’er to be seen in public with Zhao Jing. Often he was known as a faceless boy among the residents. When he's not working on various tasks, Xie'er often helps plan for and puts together various events for Zhao Jing and is often helping prepare him for the events or a basic day.

Most didn’t realize Xie'er was often listening in and gathering information. He also knew how to play people well and get them to say what was needed or spin a few lies to start a scene. Very rarely did he fail such tasks and often reported back to his godfather the information that was required.

People also aren’t aware that Xie’er is in full control of the second largest assassin group known as the Scorpion Sect. The rival is known as Heavens Windows lead by the Prince. People assume that Zhao Jing may be the one leading the Scorpion Sect as often they work under him. They only work under him because Xie’er orders them to.

Xie’er is often eager to kill for Zhao Jing and isn’t afraid to get his hands bloody. He has killed his fair share of people often leaving no trace to who did it. He’s also not afraid to do so publicly. This is also considered one of his weaknesses, as he doesn’t think often the consequences that will follow. He’s used to handling them as they come.

He has a hard time plotting ahead and doesn’t fully understand all the maneuvers that his godfather tries to do to set his plans in motion. When his godfather isn’t happy with him, it puts Xie’er in a sour and depressed mood. He dwells on the problem trying to figure out what it was he did wrong especially if he felt he acted accordingly. When he falls into these moods his work is often sloppy.

Xie'er also tends to sympathsize with the women, understanding what it is like to be loyal to the person they love and not have the love returned. He also uses this to get them to help him with information he needs.

When he begins to doubt his godfather he starts testing him and eventually learns that his godfather was plotting to kill him in the end. Learning this news caused him to start acting out and going against the plans his godfather wanted him to do.

He started working with other people and trying to find ways where he could have the upper hand. He’s only more confused when his godfather publicly announces him as his son and heir to the sect. Only later when it was too late both realize that 1) Xie'er is quite capable of being able to survive on his own and be as manuplitive as his godfather 2) his godfather did truely love and want was best for his son.
