Scythe (Phighting) ~ 🐍

Base Information Scythe has the alias of “Rifle”. Scythe’s pronouns are she/her. Scythe’s height is 6'0" / 183 cm. Scythe is 42 years old. Scythe’s birthday/spawnday is June 6th. Scythe’s region is Lost Temple and her Faction is currently the Church of the TRUE EYE. Scythe’s current occupation is being a church acolyte, but she was originally an oziphrage wrangler. Scythe has relations with The Broker (close friend/co-worker), Medkit (co-worker), Grappling Hook (ex-partner), Father Overseer (leader), Ban Hammer (enemy), and Katana (ex-friend).

Lore Scythe was naturally spawned in Lost Temple, where she worked as an oziphrage wrangler alongside her significant other, Grappling Hook, and their group of other wranglers. Following the Scorch, the two of them split, and Scythe—who lost her right arm in the flames—left to join a newly formed extremist group, later known as The Church of the TRUE EYE. Scythe is extremely loyal and dedicated to her family in the Church, and is willing to do absolutely anything to protect and serve them, no matter the cost. She works as a form of mob enforcer for the Church, being commanded by Father Overseer to take out anyone who has even the potential to speak out against the Church and Overseer's mission. Despite her blind enforcement of his word, she has complicated feelings regarding her leader and what he stands for. She is highly respected and loved by other members of the Church, being seen as an older sibling figure who others can bring their problems to. Having lost her arm in the Scorch, Scythe has a mechanical prosthetic arm built by Medkit, which is powered by his energy crystals. Additionally, despite being spawned as Green Laser Scythe, her gear has been modified by Medkit to have an additional rifle mode, making her a formidable opponent to anyone who crosses her path. Her left eye is replaced by a glass eye, thanks to a practice done by members of the Church, and as a result she must wear a specialized scope on her right eye to account for her lack of depth perception. She was spawned with black horns, but paints them teal to show her devotion to her family. Scythe has a deadly reputation within the Banland police force, and is constantly evading their capture. She is very close to The Broker, and is acquaintances with Medkit, who both work under her. She was once friends with Katana, when he was a part of the Church.

Appearance Scythe is a dark-skinned Inphernal with teal 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 an ornate scope 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 glass. Around her neck, she wears a small, forest-green bandana. 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 Western-style 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 on her 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.

Personality Scythe is a charismatic and silver-tongued individual who is led by her intense desire for vengeance. She will stop at nothing to vindicate the pain and loss she experienced because of the Scorch, even being willing to murder other inphernals in pursuit of her "greater good". Despite this, she is loyal and dependable to those in her Church family, and has her own doubts about what the "greater good" means to her. She has a soft spot for animals and cares deeply for them.

Relationships

The Broker Scythe and The Broker are extremely close friends, and the two work together as Church acolytes.

Medkit Medkit works under Scythe and made her various prosthetics and augmentations, but keeps a wide berth, choosing to refer to her only by her alias, Rifle. If it weren't for Medkit's guard always being up, the two would otherwise be friends.

Other Relationships Scythe and Grappling Hook were previously significant others and worked together as oziphrage wranglers, before the Scorch tore them apart. Ban Hammer has a one-sided rivalry with Scythe, who is constantly evading his grasp. Father Overseer is Scythe's leader. She follows out his commands to murder his enemies with little protest, but has doubts about his intentions. Otherwise, their relationship is unclear. Scythe and Katana were previously friends, when they both were a part of the Church.

Miscellaneous Scythe still has her own oziphrage. Outside of her usual Church uniform, Scythe would wear casual clothes like tank tops and sweatpants. Scythe is scared of ghosts. Scythe would probably eat raw beef. Scythe has well groomed Fantasy Grey (#868FA2) hair on her chest and between her boobs, groin (ass, vagina, crook of her balls, and above her penis), groin-to-umbilical area (happy trail), forearms, armpits, toes, fingers, and legs, she has a masculine female build, a rattlesnake tail, and is quick witted, strong, but also surprisingly agile. Scythe has tilla kari mosque (or just teal (#00CECB) if you aren’t a color snob) colored blood with persian green (#00A896) swirls that swirl in the fluid like oil on water. She has both a penis and a vagina.

Helpful Information Characters

Grappling Hook Grappling Hook has dark gray skin and two ivory horns sprouting from either side of their head, going outward before curving up into a sharp tip. Both horns have a gold ring near the base. They wear a burnt mahogany cowboy hat with a brighter color band, and two reddish-brown feathers pinned on the left. On the front of their cowboy hat is a gold Lost Temple insignia. Grappling Hook also wears a red-orange cloth poncho with a large collar that hides their neck. Around the edges of the top part of the cloak is a dandelion-colored string edge, and the same continues for the bottom part of the cloak. The bottom part has a triangle cut out for their arm. Grappling Hook also wears a red-brown suit with a burnt mahogany vest, pants and belt. Attached to the right side of the belt is a yellow lasso. Near the bottom of the pants is a reddish-orange pleated area that leads into their dark brown boots. Grappling Hook has a hospital personality, but a vast majority of the time they do so for their own benefit. They were quick to offer Sword into the camp of the Redcliff Wranglers so they could take potential Intel from him about the Church. They care a lot about those in the camp, reacting with panic when Chuck shows up injured with Sword. Grappling Hook is also one of the main featured members of the Redcliff Wranglers, being seen negotiating with a of the members of the Darkage Clan, A region in Thieves Den that is assisting The Wranglers in the war, and assisting their group as a whole. Around 10+ years before the current day, Grappling Hook was in a Romantic relationship with Scythe. During the events of the Scorch, Scythe and Grappling Hook separated, with Grappling Hook and Scythe ending up on opposite sides of the war against The Church. It is unknown why the two split. Grappling Hook has a strong hatred for The Church, After they took over the spawn of Lost Temple, the two factions Grappling Hook is also the one who offered Sword a place in the Wrangler camp, Despite the initial push back from the associates of the Darkage Clan. The Wranglers are at war with The Church.

Father Overseer He wears a stylized cassock, which is dark teal on the upper half and teal on the lower half, has a cyan button up, and has four cyan eyes with black pupils on its front side, two sorted vertically on each side. His lower half features dark teal clothes with cyan buttons along the left side and large golden X's along the right. Father Overseer has sharp, spiky fingers, and a scepter with a glowing cyan ball on a golden hilt connected to a dark aquamarine handle. Little is known about the father, but he appears to be relatively strict about where and when Church members are required to visit ‘the family.’ Despite this, he’'welcomes all’ into the Church. The father is the only known clergyman of The Church of the TRUE EYE, a cult-like religious group that operates within Lost Temple. He is mentioned by title only by both Scythe and The Broker, who both indicate that ‘true devotion’ and a good word or two are values that the father prioritizes in the Church's acolytes and laypeople. He claims to have been spawned without a gear.

Medkit Medkit was unnaturally spawned in Blackrock to his two caretakers, and was immediately taken in by the KORBLOX Administration. His gear, being a healing class gear, is a very rare occurrence within the Inpherno. His gear allows him to heal the wounds and injuries of other inphernals with the abilities he was spawned with, making him a highly coveted asset to the KORBLOX Administration. He worked as a scientist alongside Subspace, using his incredible intellect and talents in the fields of engineering and chemistry to help further KORBLOX's research. During their time working under the KORBLOX Administration, Medkit developed the first known instance of energy crystals. Medkit and Subspace never got along, and after they had an altercation in which Medkit lost his left eye, he escaped Blackrock and fled to Crossroads. In Crossroads, he was picked up by an extremist group which had just formed in Lost Temple shortly following the Scorch, and went on to offer this group—later known as The Church of the TRUE EYE—his various abilities, in exchange for protection from the KORBLOX Administration. Medkit suffers from severe PTSD as a result of his time in Blackrock, and struggles with intense paranoia and constant night terrors. Medkit is closest to Sword, whom he sees like a sibling, and is subsequently friends with Rocket. He works underneath Scythe, who is his boss, alongside The Broker. Despite Medkit's intellect, he has become an extremely paranoid person in the aftermath of his life in Blackrock. He is typically very flat with his interactions, and tries not to get too close to anyone. Medkit is a well put-together inphernal, who dons a suit in the uniform style of The Church of the TRUE EYE, and whose signature color is teal. He has two horns which closely resemble antlers that protrude from the sides of his head and extend upwards. On each horn, he has two tines following the same direction, and he wears a gold ring on his bottom right tine. In between both horns sits a floating crystal, which is the source of his gear's power. He wears a diamond shaped eyepatch with an inset gold trim over his left eye, covering his removed and stitched eye, and he is commonly seen with a disgruntled or forlorn expression. His suit is predominately a dark forest green, with bright teal accents throughout. His suit jacket opens up to reveal a teal cravat tied around the collar, and with gold trim on both sleeves, and a diamond shaped appliqué just above the cuffs. He wears high waisted dress pants in a teal argyle pattern, a motif he shares with Scythe. His pants are fastened by two gold buttons at the waistband. He wears dark teal gloves on both hands, and forest green dress shoes. He wields his medkit in his left hand, and his revolver in his right. Both are adorned with the same teal argyle motif as his uniform, and are trimmed with gold. His revolver is a distinctly brighter teal than his medkit, matching the color of his horns and cravat where the pattern is applied across the barrel and the grip. The sight, muzzle, hammer and trigger are all gold, with the rest of the gun being a dark teal. His medkit resembles a briefcase, exhibiting the same argyle pattern, along with a teal cross on the upper side, and gold accents along the body of the medkit, the corners, and the handle. The handle also has a bright teal grip. Medkit and Sword met soon after Medkit fled from Blackrock. Medkit found Sword in a dire state and nursed him back to health. The two of them become close, eventually coming to see each other like siblings. Following Medkit's disappearance, Sword leaves in search of him. Medkit and Subspace never got along, even when they were young. Subspace was terrible to Medkit, and their ensuing altercation caused Medkit to fight back in self defense. Medkit will likely never feel safe again until Subspace dies. Medkit met Rocket through Sword, and is responsible for his prosthetics. Medkit chose to leave to Lost Temple as one of his caretakers hailed from there. His other caretaker was "not good". Medkit works under Scythe and made her various prosthetics and augmentations, but keeps a wide berth, choosing to refer to her only by her alias, Rifle. If it weren't for Medkit's guard always being up, the two would otherwise be friends. Medkit is responsible for stapling The Broker back together when he gets decapitated, but otherwise sees him as a pest. Despite being a healer, Medkit doesn't like being seen as a doctor. If Medkit had any say in the matter, he would like to be a teacher. Medkit and The Broker are both equally skilled at chess.

The Broker The Broker is an elusive figure in the Inpherno, who is fiercely devoted to The Church of the TRUE EYE as an acolyte, and additionally works as an information broker and parts dealer. Despite being an inphernal who spawned in Lost Temple, The Broker was spawned with unusual biology in comparison to others. The Broker notably possesses a body which is sewn and stitched together, consisting of skin of unknown origin. This includes his head, which does not originally belong to him, and replaces the head he lost to being beheaded by Ban Hammer in the past. The Broker lacks the ability to taste, bleed, or experience tactile sensation; notably lacking pain and temperature perception. Upon closer inspection, one may see a dark, wire-like material protruding from his insides between his stitches and wounds. The nature of this wire-like substance, as well as the reason for The Broker being spawned this way, are both unknown. The Broker is highly valued by The Church of the TRUE EYE for his uncanny ability to gather large amounts of information, thanks to his gear, which is currently unknown. Although he is loyal to the family, he doesn't enjoy living in Lost Temple, and so typically lives in various places, such as with Zuka and his son Rocket, to whom The Broker provides the materials used for creating artificial gears and other weapons. Aside from Zuka and Rocket, The Broker is close to Scythe, whom he works with. He works directly under Father Overseer, and considers himself friends with Medkit. He is often on the run from Ban Hammer, who repeatedly tries to jail and execute The Broker to no avail. The Broker has a distinctive, bright red rotary telephone which he uses to communicate to other people who possess an identical model of telephone, namely Medkit and Zuka. The Broker comes across as overly jovial and friendly to most people he meets. In reality, he is a manipulative, dangerous, and self-serving individual who is not above violence or intimidation. He has a particular hatred for Church heretics and, ironically, bootlickers. Despite this, he is incredibly loyal to the Church and all of his earnings go towards the family. He has a tendency to watch other inphernals from their windows. When asked questions about his gear, name, spawn region, age, etc., The Broker gives wildly different answers on all occasions, leading to much confusion about his exact nature. The Broker is a light-skinned inphernal with large, dark blue horns which curve up and backwards. He wears a teal dress shirt and pants, with a dark blue waistcoat and shoes, and a dark teal tie. He wears signature teal blush on both cheeks, and he is often seen sporting a black metal cuff on his right wrist, on account of constantly escaping from Banland. His body is covered in stitches where skin has been grafted onto his body in various places. Most notably, The Broker's head is stitched on at the neck, and he has marks resembling vivisection scars on his abdomen. When his stitches are open or come undone, a dark wire-like substance is visible inside his body. His right eye has been removed in a Church ritual and replaced with a glass eye, and he has a distinct X-shaped scar above his good eye. The Broker regularly crashes at Zuka's place, and even has his own nickname for him, that being "Zukes". The two have been friends for a few years prior to the modern day, first meeting during a low point of The Broker's life. The Broker is grateful towards Zuka, but Zuka feels more neutrally towards him. Rocket, on the other hand, hates The Broker, despite Broker's apparent fondness for him. The Broker has a tendency to mess around with Rocket. Scythe and The Broker are close friends, and The Broker works under her in the Church. The Broker works underneath Father Overseer, willingly making phone calls to errant members on his behalf. The Broker considers Medkit a friend. Medkit is responsible for stapling The Broker back together when he gets decapitated. The Broker holds a lot of vitriol towards Katana, likely related to his defection from the Church. The Broker is constantly running from, and being jailed by, Ban Hammer. However, The Broker always manages to escape, much to Ban Hammer's confusion. Their relationship can be described as a game of "cat and mouse". The Broker does not recognize the Swords to be true gods. The Broker's gear has not yet been revealed, and there is much speculation as to what his gear could be. When put against others, The Broker would be one of the best at chess, and would beat Medkit 50% of the time on account of him eating the pieces. The Broker would eat raw meat. Broker is made of a dark, wire-like substance that are actually cells of malice, he wears a skin suit hide, and to ensure that the skin hide doesn't decay, any normal skin cells are replaced with "dead" malice cells, or just malice cells that turned to an Inphernal skin tone (white, greys, and even occasionally dark grey or black). Thanks to the cells, Broker is immune to pain, extreme environments, (conventional) suffocation, lava, bleeding, temperature, being beheaded, doesn’t have a heartbeat, and can’t rot, but that means he also can’t feel the sensation of light touch, complex tastes, and texture. His horns, teeth, nails, and hair are made of hardened malice cells and his eyes, ears, parts of his nose, the interior of his mouth from his gums to his uvula are made of normal malice cells aligned in a specific way to form stable structures, and he takes the physique of someone who is plus-sized due to the abundance of cells within his body.

Katana Katana was unnaturally spawned in Lost Temple to his two caretakers, who raised him alongside his biological sibling. After they lost their parents in the Scorch, Katana and his sibling—whose identity is currently unknown—joined The Church of the TRUE EYE, which at that time was a newly-formed extremist group. The two of them went on to prove extreme loyalty to the family, working directly under the high priest of the Church, Father Overseer. However, after an incident wherein Katana was disgraced by the Father and the rest of the Church, he fled to Thieves' Den and left his sibling behind. He was taken in by the Darkage Clan, whom he has been affiliated with ever since. Katana's mission in life is to cleanse the Inpherno of any and all "corruption", which he considers to be the likes of Father Overseer and his Church. Like many survivors of the Scorch, he hates all of the Swords, whom he believes to have failed him, his family, and all the inphernals they are meant to protect. He currently lives in Crossroads, in the same apartment block as Slingshot, Shuriken, and Vine Staff, much to his chagrin. He was friends with Scythe when they were both in the Church, and has recently become acquaintances with Hyperlaser. Katana is a cold and mysterious inphernal who generally keeps to himself. He is extremely dedicated to his mission of cleansing the "corruption" within the Inpherno, and values it above all else. He takes great lengths to hone his skills with his gear, going so far as to travel to all ends of the Inpherno and its various regions to broaden his abilities and perspective. Katana wears a porcelain mask, fully covering his face until halfway through his scalp with eye slits reminiscent of an owl. The mask is held in place by a red strap across the back of the head. A graphic of the Thieves' Den logo is on the forehead and the area between the eye slits. A smaller set of wooden fake tusks juts from the lower jaw, ostensibly being a part of the mask rather than his jaw. He also sports a haori-jacket fusion, but with his chest more revealed. He has a rope that ties his outfit together at the waist. On his lower body, he wears kyahan paddings on his legs with laces that tie them. His footwear is a pair of geta — traditional wooden slippers worn by samurai. His weapon is a large katana with glowing markings and a red scabbard attached at the hip. His horns are similar to that of a bull's. Protruding out from the side of his head then curving forward and upwards; tapering into sharp points. Katana was previously friends with Scythe when they were both a part of the Church. Katana has recently become acquainted with Hyperlaser. Katana has a biological sibling who he left behind in the Church, but not much is known about their relationship. Katana ended up going to Thieves' Den as he made a promise with his sibling to go there together in their youth. He hopes to one day take them with him. Katana lives in the same apartment block as Shuriken, Slingshot, and Vine Staff, much to his dismay. He finds them disruptive and annoying, but has a small fondness for Slingshot, who leaves samples of his baking at Katana's door as a token of appreciation. Otherwise, Vine Staff's plants overrun his meditation room, which he is not best pleased about. Katana is aware of Shuriken's vigilante alter ego, "Silver Shadow". Katana currently has a mentor that he owes his skills to, but her identity is unknown. Katana has a deep hatred for the Swords, like most survivors of the Scorch.

Ban Hammer Ban Hammer was unnaturally spawned at The Heights by Windforce, one of the seven deities of the Inpherno. Ban Hammer was the second demi-deity ever spawned, following behind his cousin—the child of Firebrand—who is his closest friend as a newspawn. Windforce raised Ban Hammer in her image, and the two share an extremely close bond, with Windforce being very proud of her child and his accomplishments. Six years prior to the modern day, Ban Hammer was appointed Warden of Banland, a correctional facility originally started by his uncle, Firebrand. Windforce first took the reins following Firebrand's disappearance, but passed it down to Ban Hammer, who took the job in stride. He oversees the main island of Banland, as well as smaller police forces stationed around Crossroads. He is hated by the general populace due to his tyrannical role as Warden and for being related to the Swords; despite this, he ultimately strives to make Crossroads a safer place for everyone, even if his methods may sometimes fall short. Ban Hammer is incredibly strong in comparison to normal inphernals, possessing an indefinite lifespan, much like the deities before him, and he willingly blindfolds himself as a personal "challenge" to his strength. He has a set of wings similar to his caretaker, which he is able to summon and de-summon at will, as well as four eyes under his blindfold, with two on each side. Ban Hammer does not align himself with any faction in the Inpherno, and prefers to keep to his own, leaving him with a distinct lack of other inphernals in his circle. Despite this, he has a strong one-sided rivalry with Scythe, a notorious and formidable criminal who has continued to evade his grasp. Ban Hammer is, by all accounts, an egotistical and extroverted inphernal who loves showing off his superior abilities to others. He deems himself better than everyone else, and won't let anyone forget it. He has a particular enjoyment for the "thrill" of chasing after criminals and locking them up, revelling in the despair they feel when he corners them for good. He prefers this sort of "hands-on" work as opposed to the administrative tasks that come with running a prison. Despite his boisterous nature, Ban Hammer prefers to keep to himself, and doesn't have many inphernals he can consider a friend. Ban Hammer wears a purple bandana covering his eyes and a set of heavy armor. His cuirass has a large glowing purple diamond in the center and grey indentations along the sides and down the middle. He boasts two large purple spikes on his pauldrons closely resembling his horns and two large purple gauntlets, also with spikes on the knuckles as well as two glowing circles-presumably bracings-for the plates on his forearms. Ban Hammer wears greaves and sabatons decorated with purple diamonds and trimmings. His weapon is an oversized hammer inspired by the original Ban Hammer gear. The hammer has a large pommel on the bottom end, while the top end boasts a large hammer head with light grey bracings and small dark grey spikes. Ban Hammer and his caretaker are very close, and Windforce raised him on her own in her exact image, explaining his general personality. Windforce can be incredibly soft towards Ban Hammer, oftentimes to a fault, and Windforce and Ban Hammer hold each other in extremely high regard, with Windforce being proud of her child, and Ban Hammer being generally in awe of his caretaker; being especially impressed of how she took over Banland and "improved" it. Ban Hammer respects Windforce's territory, and doesn't hold any jurisdiction over Playground, where she rules. Ban Hammer was extremely close to Firebrand's child growing up, but their current relationship following his cousin's divorce from their significant other is unknown. Ban Hammer does, however, have relatively strong opinions on his cousin's choice to be with a mortal inphernal, believing that such a relationship could have never worked out in the first place. He believes children of the Swords should put their work first, and any prospective family second. Ban Hammer is the first cousin once removed of his cousin's two children, Valk and Dom, but acts more as an uncle towards them. He is blood related to Sword, but the two do not know of each other. His relationships with the rest of his family are relatively unknown. Ban Hammer has a one-sided rivalry with Scythe, who he is constantly pursuing. Ban Hammer is similarly continuously pursuing and jailing The Broker. Ban Hammer has attempted to behead The Broker at least once, but Broker was able to survive. Ban Hammer was only spawned by his caretaker because she was bored. Ban Hammer is naturally gifted at golfing, and he practices his skills on Banland inmates. Ban Hammer once almost walked into lava, on account of his blindfold. Ban Hammer can play the electric guitar. He learnt how to play from his cousins, Valk and Dom. Ban Hammer carries out the death penalty on his inmates, though the conditions for such a punishment are unknown. Given the choice between pancakes and waffles, Ban Hammer prefers waffles. Ban Hammer’s cousin is Umbrella.

Factions/Locations

Lost Temple Lost Temple is a hot, dry desert that was once home to a bustling city full of thousands of inhabitants. Ten years prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, this city was burnt to the ground in the Scorch, and the lasting effects thereof now serves to divide the remaining populace. Most inphernals that did not leave Lost Temple for other regions would end up joining either the Redcliff Wranglers or The Church of the TRUE EYE. The temperatures of Lost Temple are unbearable to non-natives, and even those native to Lost Temple can find the environment unpleasant. Fashion in Lost Temple can be varied, but ponchos, scarves, bandanas, and cowboy hats are common fixtures of an inphernal's wardrobe. Those who live out in the desert plains tend to live in tents and sleep on hammocks. The Redcliff Wranglers are a group of "rag-tag survivors" from the Scorch, led by Grappling Hook. The group is known for their use of oziphrages for transport and their distaste of the Church. In order to regain control of the Lost Temple Spawnpoint, they have entered an uneasy alliance with the Darkage Clan. The Church of the TRUE EYE is a fanatical religious cult formed by Father Overseer after the Scorch. Members of the Church worship an unknown deity, and consider themselves a "Family". Almost all members of the Church wear a uniform of mostly teal-colored formal attire, and participate in the ritualistic removal of one of their eyes. The Church contends for control of the Lost Temple Spawnpoint with the Redcliff Wranglers, and Medkit disappears after joining their ranks. Oziphrages, also known as "burrowing vultures" or simply "vultures", are large carnivorous flying birds that are native to Lost Temple. They closely resemble bearded vultures of the real world, but are much larger in stature and easily tower over inphernals. Denizens of Lost Temple, particularly the Redcliff Wranglers, keep oziphrages for their utility as transport and companionship. While they are docile to particular inphernals, such as Tarantula, they can be predatory and violent towards individuals less confident around carnivorous birds. Oziphrages prefer to eat inphernals, but will eat ambiguously sourced rotten flesh all the same. Oziphrages predominately feature brown and orange plumage, with white faces, white primary feathers, and dark brown beaks, but can also come in other shades. Baby oziphrages are born without feathers, but grow into their plumage as juveniles. Young oziphrages look very similar to adults, but lack their distinctive "eyebrows". Prior to the Scorch, Lost Temple was the most populated region in the Inpherno.

Banland Banland takes place on a desolate, hellish island prison surrounded by a vast lake of lava. Cages hang from the sky or sit on top of large structures. A large wall decorated with purple banners sits in the background with aqueducts of lava flowing through it. A few gore elements are placed around the map, such as ribcages serving as pathways and ramps, and large, erratically moving eyeballs on walls and pillars. In the center stands a towering statue of Ban Hammer, the warden of Banland itself.

Miscellaneous Stuff

Church of The TRUE EYE The Church of the TRUE EYE are a group of inphernals who live in Lost Temple. They are a religious cult formed after the Scorch, currently led by Father Overseer. Their members are known for their devout loyalty to an unknown deity. The Church of the TRUE EYE was formed ten years ago, prior to the events of PHIGHTING!, by Father Overseer, shortly after the Scorch. Many inphernals took refuge within the cult and pledged their loyalty to the Church. Inphernals within the Church are often seen sporting teal, navy, and white uniforms along with gold accents and jewelry. Additionally, all known members of the cult have one of their eyes removed; the reason for this is currently unknown. Their compound is within Lost Temple, but members of the Church are not forced to stay, with some choosing to live in Crossroads. The exact location is unknown, both to the general public and law enforcement. The Church of the TRUE EYE is welcoming to all inphernals, housing wanted criminals and fugitives. They consider all of their members as part of their "Family". Although they are welcoming to new members, the Church does not take defectors lightly, threatening those who choose to leave. All members of the Church despise the Swords, declaring them to be fake gods due to their failure to protect them after the Scorch. Inphernals that are not part of the Church are wary and disconcerted by them, often calling them "creepy" or "freaks".

The Scorch The Scorch is an event that took place in the Inpherno ten years prior to the modern day. It refers to an incident in which Firebrand decimated a Lost Temple city, killing a large amount of its population. This incident led to the region's civil war, the formation of The Church of the TRUE EYE and the Redcliff Wranglers, and Firebrand's eventual disappearance. The Scorch occurred ten years prior to the events of the modern day, on August 25 at 2:35 PM. Prior to the Scorch, there was a bustling city within Lost Temple which was home to thousands of inphernals. One day, for unknown reasons, Firebrand laid waste to the city and its surrounding landscape, burning everything and everyone that lived there. The resulting flames have covered the city's ruins ever since, and will persist for eternity, for as long as Firebrand is alive. After the Scorch, the surviving inphernals were left with little hope. Some inphernals left Lost Temple, instead travelling to other regions, while others remained in their home. Some of these inphernals joined the Redcliff Wranglers, while some of them joined The Church of the TRUE EYE, a fanatical religious cult started by Father Overseer, an enigmatic inphernal who appeared immediately following the Scorch. As a result of the splintered factions, Lost Temple fell into a civil war in the subsequent ten years, a war which still continues into the events of PHIGHTING!. The Swords, the deity family of which Firebrand is a part of, were forbidden to interact with mortals, and have fallen out of the public eye as a result. Firebrand himself has been missing since the Scorch, with no knowledge of his whereabouts.
