• The most dedicated guy like… ever. He’s committed in almost everything. Adaptable, yes, but committed. He dates to marry, he is loyal after death. For fucks sake look at how long this man was vengeful for.
• In kyberverse, scorpion’s face does not look how he does officially unmasked. It doesn’t really match up to me. So, this scorpion has thin eyebrows, sharp and angular features, a clean shaven face and jaw, and white and upturned eyes. He has a different nose shape and thin lips, he looks younger. His waterline and lashes are dark and thick. He is tanned from the heat but pale from death. He is striking.
• Doesn’t understand modern slang, but he can infer in his head. Just not preferred.
• Uses his weapons in more scorpion-esque ways. Not just throwing it. It’s an art form, a mastery. He physically moves, crawls, stings like a scorpion.
• Might occasionally use temperature play during no pants time. Might be on accident, might not be.
• Speaking of, scorpion sometimes sets things aflame when his emotions get too heated. Not to say he’s an emotional person. Well, he is, but overall he’s a thinker.
• Hates hates Hates being told what to do. I feel like that’s obvious, but it runs deep for him. Suggestions are usually swept under the rug, if he can even keep his cool. Helpful or not.
• Will always have some doubts about sun-zero. I even prefer when they’re not friends.
• Hates eating cold foods.
• Speaking of, he will occasionally eat the same prey a scorpion would. He will just randomly catch them in his fingers at the speed of light.
• Also finds Frost more annoying than sub zero. Yikes.
• Scorpion does kinda respect Nightwolf though. They just don’t see eye to eye.
• If you want to flirt with Scorpion, you’ll be going at it a while. He might not realize it. If he does, he won’t be responding. The whole losing a family thing kinda puts a damper on that sort of thing. But if he’s in a relationship, he’ll want to be married immediately. He takes them serious right away.
• Unlabeled in terms of sexuality. He likes who he likes, and he doesn’t think much about it. As long as he gets to be him.
• Tiny flames will occasionally dance off his golden skin, if you pay attention close enough. 
• As you can tell, I really prefer angry and vengeful Scorpion over wise old scorpion.
• When he has a golden glow like fire, it sometimes looks like flaming tattoos in the right lighting.
• Probably married his first wife young. Like ages 17-21. Real committed guy.
• If his kid wanted to dye their hair, he would absolutely REFUSE to accept it. He’d keep saying no over and over again when asked for permission. Grumbling and griping.
• Probably also gets upset when he sees people on his property, especially teenagers. He’s the original “GET OVER HERE! Get off my lawn!” guy.
• Ironically a rather good figure skater.
• Well regularly set himself on fire to show off his skeleton to scare people who piss him off. Happens frequently actually.
• While yellow and gold I’d say are his colors, he looks absolutely stunning in red. I mean I’ve seen skins where he’s wearing red and it’s just like holy shit. Why aren’t you wearing this? Also looks godly in white.
• Idk what the fuck kinda ooc scorpion y’all got going on in your heads but this man is not falling for the reader in one night. Scorpion takes time.
• Don’t even think about addressing him as Hanzo if you’re not close to him. That’s a one way ticket to having your face burned off.
• Ever since he came back to life, he’s been flexible. Like an acrobat. It helps with looking very scorpion like, but it’s freaky. He can bend his body back into the most intense arch you’ve ever seen and spin around. His bones will crack- it’ll look and sound like a horror movie. But he can do it.
• His style of martial arts focuses more on his kicking then punching and throwing. He’s deadly on his feet.
• Favorite color is probably white.
• Can’t really picture him enjoying Italian food. Maybe some bread.
