'I would just like to make it clear that before I post an article or character, I often plan them out in drafts. Because I use my sandbox to put down ideas, I will make blog posts to finalise a character before turning it into an article. Ok? Ok.'

"I've never been one to care for appearances or what the media thinks of me. Shocker, right? Who gives a shit if they see me as a flirtatious dumbass who won't stop bothering Laurence, or if they see me as a ruthless killing machine who eliminates all in his way? At the end of the day, I'm just a regular old guy with a bunch of great buds and a goal to what I need to do. No ulterior motives. I just want to live my life freely, doing what I do, with my comrades. The media, they get in the way. The media can go screw itself."

- Scorpius to Ivy Palladium on his view on the media and his appearance

Scorpius Tarot (蠍座 タロットカード Sasoriza Tarottokaado) is the name of the legendary S-class mage from the forest guild White Elf, and a supporting character from Fairy Tail: Jinx. He, along with Laurence Heart, make up the Pain Brothers team of White Elf. He and Laurence are close with Ivy Palladium, Haina Cobalt and Erise Adamantite of Jinxed Chimera, being a close ally of theirs. Scorpius' skilful and overwhelmingly powerful ability of Pain Scale, a rare magic passed down the Tarot bloodline, has given him mastery over the power. A seemingly sadistic yet cheery individual, he has been given the epithet Master of Pain (巨匠の苦しみ Kyoshou no Kurushimi) and has been often referred to by magazines and newspaper as "The one all dark guilds fear" because of his habit to treat enemy dark guilds with a hellish torture, testing our all his pain scales on them. As such, any guild who hears something about "Master Of Pain" Scorpius coming for them almost always has their heart struck with a lightning bolt of fear. Despite these stories of him, Scorpius in person tends to act like a silly, somewhat immature doofus who often relies on Laurence to care for him, even going as far as to calling him "my sweet wife" jokingly. Scorpius often flirts and hits on his partner openly and in public jokingly and without shame, much to the said man's chagrin. This has often lead the media to believe the two are in a homoerotic relationship, which Scorpius casually denies.

Despite being known mainly for his excellence in Pain Scale, Scorpius is also known to dabble in the art of swordsmanship. He wields a sword of his own, named Brynhildr. He claims himself he can use it pretty well, but because he focuses mainly on the usage of his Pain Scale he does not find the need to focus on his swordscraft as much as others. Scorpius bluntly stated there were many others far better than him at magic and swords craft alike. He is known for his agility and speed in battle, often using the sword to cut enemies into two when he does not see the usage of Pain Scale necessary. This is usually when dealing with small guilds and a few enemies who do not pose much of a threat, him finding it to be "practically worthless" getting worked up and using magic on those he need not use it on.

Scorpius is revealed to be from a faraway land named Lilac Palace, where he held a high ranking position as the Head Knight of the Execution Department, known for always executing prisoners in a fearsome manner and still have time to meet Laurence for tea. However, despite his close relations to Lilac Palace royalty and all the soldiers he had under him, Scorpius abandoned his post, and without further notice, promptly snuck out of Lilac Palace alongside Laurence and made a journey to the mainland, AKA Fiore. He says the Lilac Kingdom post was too stressful to handle, as well as the king being corrupt and evil in comparison to the former queen.

Appearance
Scorpius is quite a looker, to say the least. His hair is short and wavy, slightly unkempt and tousled with a scarlet red colour standing out. Some strands stick out in various directions all around, a messy combo. It takes a strong willed person to not be drawn in by his alluring chocolate brown orbs, contrasting against his fair complexion. Silver studs, though not easily visible, are pierced into his earlobes and adorned there, a smile seeming to always brighten his features. His attire is rather simple, as he prefers not to overdo it and wear something unreasonable and uncomfortable. A vibrant orange shirt covers his muscular chest, the shirt being covered by a white jacket with rolled up sleeves so that they only reach his elbows. The jacket is made out of a material similar to denim, giving a rough feel when touched. A high collar covers his neck, casting a dark shadow onto his skin. Hidden under the orange shirt is a black necklace with an emerald pendant, in the shape of s tear drop. This was his mother's, who gave it to him prior to his escape from Lilac Palace. Despite his multiple battles, Scorpius never seems to retain any visible wounds or scars - most likely due to his remarkable ability to heal faster than others. He appears younger than he is, giving the appearance of a young man in his late teens. He gives off a playful and cheery vibe, but also holds wisdom in his eyes and charming smile. He finishes off his outfit with dark blue/black jeans and black school shoes.

His eyes seem to always hold a mischievous and playful twinkle to them, dancing a dance of joy and passion. His smile is said to resemble a ray of sunshine, and Scorpius often wears his smile like it's part of his attire. His build is athletic and muscular, though he does not look uncomfortably large. He, when not wearing his signature outfit, has another more casual one for colder times or when his current one cannot be worn. A white, dark brown and hazel horizontally striped cap with a small and cute floppy brim sits upon his head, a warm burgundy cardigan draping over his shoulders. A white long-sleeve shirt, the sleeves hidden by the cardigan, covers his build and has a dark brown 'X' over the right breast area. His pants are a dark brown colour, and his shoes black and white running shoes. It has been noticed by Laurence that Scorpius adopted this outfit back in Lilac Palace, when it was a cold and snowy day.
