The maidens of Scorpio are an infamous order of assassins.

They fight in a graciously lustful, rapid manner that can be mesmerizing to see. One way to know that a Maiden of Scorpio is hunting you is by a sickly sweet smell that makes you feel sluggish. But it's usually too late for you to run after that as your death will be swift.

LORE:

Be careful, fool. For scorpions are running amok.

Ever since they have been "defeated" by that "Great Hero", they have been more dangerous. The fool decided to cut the head off and now we are experiencing the death throes. I swear, that "Great Hero" caused nothing but trouble.

With the Lady of Scorpions gone, no one leads them.

No order, only chaos.

These maidens are not right in the head. They love causing pain. Like it's their sexual, lustful urge. Do you think those stingers they have are erogenous parts? Because when you hear a scream, then a lustful moan, you'll know someone died and they are near. They're not right in the head. Like succubi, I suppose

While they may look beautiful, what hides in the mask? Some say it's a scarred, flayed face. They were once very beautiful so the Lady of scorpions collected their faces, I heard.

As far as one knows, the sickly smell is not the one thing you should seek in order to avoid them. With the Lady of scorpions gone, they have no reason to act professionally. The euphoria of seeing prey already makes them wet and euphoric. They are too loud to even sneak because of it.

But I know nothing, these may be rumours made by Perverted mercenaries. and degenerates.

Tell me everything when you encounter one.

Equipment:

• NeuroMask: Neuro-linked mask connected to the NeuroStinger. The user essentially has vision provided by the stinger instead, also has infrared, echolocation, and Ultraviolet vision. Also has 3km zooming capability. In case of severe NeuroStinger Damage, the mask kills the maiden for the dishonour she has committed.

• NeuroStinger- It's a neuro-linked weapon that is akin to a scorpion's stinger. Fully articulate. Also the main visual source of a Scorpio Maiden. The stinger at the end is capable of shooting poison darts.

• Prosthetic legs: Two prosthetic legs enhance mobility. The right leg has been optimized for combat use. Rumours say that at one point of their training, they were tricked into believing they could escape. And their legs were sawed off. Those who did not survive the shock were not wasted, they were the meat in the celebratory stew after it.

• Poisoned Robe: The cloth a Maiden of Scorpio wears has been doused with an alluring perfume that has been known to cause severe headaches and sluggishness. A filtered mask may avoid the symptoms temporarily. Rumours say that their sense of smell was removed along with their noses.

• Skinsuit: While a Maiden of Scorpio seems scantily clad, they, in fact, have a skinsuit that has microneedles capable of injecting toxins when touched. It's said they are covered with scars from a brutal training.
