Scythe & Broker

LOST TEMPLE

Lost Temple is one of the four main regions in the Inpherno. It is an old-fashioned, cowboy-era-type region. They have old trains, and the entire Faction looks like a western movie. Due to the overall low population of this region, the Faction is mainly comprised of desert, low-lying highly salty rivers, and random wooden structures leftover from abandoned trainlines.

the existence of a religious group within the Lost Temple has been confirmed. This group refers to itself as "The Church of the TRUE EYE" and is referred to as a cult by other inphernals. The goals and structure of The Church are currently unknown. The Church refers to its members as "Family". The Church reveres a "one true god". This god is separate from The Swords and their identity remains unknown.

They seemingly have a uniform if not for the known members of the group, that being a shared motif between Scythe and Broker with dapper outfits with teal and forest green being the most prominent colours.

All currently known members of The Church are missing an eye.

Scythe is Caucasian (Dark grey) and has the tail of a Boa Constrictor. This tail is so long that she can actually use it like an extension of her body, and she often uses it to her advantage to silently slink across Lost Temple. Scythe is a Phighter coming from the region of Lost Temple.

Scythe has spiked swept-back horns going through her white cowboy hat with a teal Lost Temple insignia on the forest-green hatband directly on the front. The hat has an inline gold border topside on the rim. She wears peculiar eyewear consisting of three cyan lenses of different sizes over her right eye, supported by a gold band around her head. Her left, uncovered eye is white. Around her neck, she wears a small, forest-green scarf. Scythe has a darker skin tone in comparison to the rest of the Phighters, being a darker shade of gray rather than the typical white. She wears a fancy white suit jacket with two small gold buttons connected by a chain, with an inline gold border accent on the lapels following around a popped collar decorated with small gold spikes, paired with a teal shirt underneath and a forest-green necktie. She wears two-toned forest-green pants with diamond patterning and is held up with a forest-green belt in the belt loops with a gold buckle. She wears white horse-riding boots with gold accents and gold spurs. Her right arm is a prosthetic, with white plating around the forearm and upper arm decorated with gold accents. Black wiring connects the upper arm with the gold metal socket on her shoulder, while the elbow consists of a large, gold and black joint. The hand is made of black and gold plating. She wears a forest green glove for the left hand. She wields her namesake laser scythe gear, modified into a hybrid with a submachine gun, with her right arm. It features a white body with gold grips and trigger and a black barrel jacket with a gold tip. A neon teal tube connects to a gray base on the butt of the gun, where the laser scythe's 'blade' is connected to. Near the butt of the gun are two gold wings with teal accents, connected by large black screws, which flip depending on its form. In Scythe form, the weapon rotates and extends to reveal a teal grip, while in Rifle form, a black rectangular ammo magazine is attached to the side.

Medkit altered her gear for her as payment, and he’s also the maker of her prosthetic arm. Outside of the Church uniform, Scythe wears casual clothes like tank tops and sweatpants.

Scythe is Medkit's and The Broker’s boss and is in a very close relationship with the latter. She is chummy towards Medkit and wants to vouch for him to "the father". Scythe likes Vine Staff but is disliked in return. She sees her curse as a blessing. Scythe has threatened Rocket over his insults towards herself and The Broker.

The Broker has two large dark teal horns that curve backwards and upwards. His right eye is white and made out of glass. His functioning eye has a small scar above it. He has teal blush under both eyes. He wears a teal suit with a darker teal tie underneath a navy blue vest. He has bright blue pockets on the vest, teal buttons, and navy blue shoes. He also has folded backwards sleeves near the hands, and his right wrist has a broken chain and cuff on it. Underneath his clothes, his body is covered with several stitches. The Broker is an individual who, despite initially coming across as jovial and light-hearted, is considered dangerous and manipulative. He has little to no sense of morals, instead preferring to align himself with whichever side of a conflict would benefit him more. He has a habit of stalking other inphernals, particularly those who can grant him useful information. He does not appreciate other factions meddling in his business, and has a dislike for bootlickers. While he tends to talk in a friendly manner to most Phighters, it is soon apparent that he has ulterior motives towards them.

He has a particular hatred for Katana, dropping his usual 'jolly' façade to threaten Katana through the phone. Despite his typically exaggerated displays of joviality or threats of violence, he is demonstrably frightened by Ban Hammer.

Despite his overall demeanor, he appears to have genuine fondness for his boss, Scythe, as well as Zuka.

The Broker is an acolyte of the The Church of the TRUE EYE, a cult that worships a deity. He refers to it as "the family." He and Scythe work together for the cult. Whatever money he makes goes towards the cult. Ban Hammer has hunted him down and arrested him multiple times, only for him to escape. He is wanted for murder, among other crimes. Ban Hammer has tried executing The Broker, but failed.

He is unable to feel physical pain as a result of nerve damage. The nerve damage started off as a medical condition that he always had, but worsened due to the modification of his body.

The Broker's gear is what allows him to spy on people.

The Broker despises Ban Hammer. The feeling is mutual. Ban Hammer also makes him nervous. The Broker believes Coil has potential and would make a great addition to the cult, but thinks he's stupid for repeatedly stealing from Blackrock. The Broker despises Katana to an unnatural degree, calling him a 'filthy traitor' and threatening to kill him over the phone. The Broker considers Rocket a friend, but the feeling is not mutual. Rocket dislikes The Broker. The Broker and Scythe are very close friends. The Broker does not believe in The Swords, calling them "fake gods". The Broker met Zuka at a low point in his life and is quite thankful for him. Zuka is also The Broker's coworker. Although The Broker considers Zuka a friend, the relationship is one-sided.
