Easily one of the top three ranking characters I've ever played in any kind of rp, I still see Dark Scorpia as my main in spite of the fact that I don't get to play her as much these days. She's multi-facetted (even more so than I ever meant for her to be early on) and has continued to evolve for me throughout her stay in Paragon City.

She's been through tidal waves of shite - two failed relationships (slightly over-lapping each other), a whirlwind romance (best I've ever gotten to write part of), almost losing her fiancee to the Crey, getting kidnapped by an agent of her father... Sheesh! I guess it's no wonder that the girl's starting to crack.

Sabrina is still growing and changing these days, and I *hope* to one day get her to this place where she actually believes in herself. She's never quite believed in her own capacity to do the right thing or be a hero. She sees herself as "the hero's defender" on her best days and "atoning" on the rest.

Right now, she's experiencing some heavy fall-out from her kidnapping that I hope has a different feel to it than what I'm doing elsewhere. She and Jason (Hang Time) were married two days after he rescued her from her father's henchman, and she's having a lot of trouble admitting that something else may be wrong in light of his semi-retirement bliss. She wants him to be happy even if it means dealing with what she suspects to be a bigger problem than a few migraines and some very vivid dreams.

Game stuff:
I'm not big into the numbers (okay, *some*), but I really like Scorp play-wise. Always have. I want to respec her again to pick up hasten somehow, but even if I had the respec, I'd have to drop one of her pools - something I'm not willing to do. She's all about the helping, so she's got recall friend and the little heal and stimulate from the medicine pool. The last couple of times I respec'd, I pushed all of her "helpful" powers to the front, taking them as early as I could get away with, so that she can be optimally useful to anyone she exemps to.

When I actually spend more than a mission running her, I remember how to play her too. :) She's slightly reckless in her efforts to keep the big forcefield over the tank (if there is one on the team) as much as possible, generally staying airborne to (hopefully) stay above the fighting. I'll solo her for a couple missions when I want her on the coms, but she really feels useful on a team.
