History WMG / SkullGirls

...Course, this all works out well for her, cause now she can focus all her attention of destroying the Medici Family from the inside out, by playing with [[spoiler: Cerebella's]] feelings and twisting her mind, in a fashion similar to the Skullheart itself.

** Wrong, Cerebella's Vice Versa headgear has the power to create gems out of things, like with her super ability to pull a piece of the ground up and punch it, turning it into a giant diamond going at high velocity. She compressed Ms. Fortune into a substitute Life Gem, because its power 'flowed through her veins'. The Fortune Life Gem even has her little collar's bell face on it. That Life Gem wasn't pulled out of her, that Life Gem IS her.

[[WMG: Ms. Fortune [[TheAgeless will]] [[FromASingleCell live]] [[NighInvulnerability forever]], [[WhoWantsToLiveForever whether she wants to or not]].]]

* Probably jossed, since [[spoiler: Cerebella's story mode]] shows that the life gem is still completely whole inside of Ms. Fortune. The only way she'd be stuck as immortal forever is if she never feels like cutting it out her stomach. [[spoiler: ...Or if no one decided to follow Cerebella's example.]]

[[AllThereInTheManual According to supplemental material]], Lorenzo Medici held a rather healthy, handsome and most importantly suspiciously long life. Cue a [[IncrediblyLamePun cat burglar]] and the band of thieves she snooped around with, the Fishbone Gang, performing a daring heist on the unsuspecting Medici mob family and pinching Lorenzo's Life Gem. Ms. Fortune swallows it before she and the gang are butchered and dumped into the ocean. Weeks later, presumably, Lorenzo looks more like [[MarlonBrando Marlon Brando]] than [[DannyDevito Danny Devito]]. That Life Gem was the only thing keeping him from withering down to a prune of a man liable to break in half from the brute force of someone turning their head to look at him. A side effect of Ms. Fortune ingesting the gem is that its effects are everpresent on her at all times... this may well mean that she will live forever, unable to truly die, as she has fused with the Life Gem rather permanently if her description of the bond is anything to go by. Also, if her [[WhatCouldHaveBeen original design]] is canon in that it was what she looked like before she 'died', then [[PowerDyesYourHair Power Dyes Your Hair]] too. Or maybe it was being dead and submerged for a while that did that.

Double can apparently disguise as anyone. So what if, every time there's a scene with an NPC in it and no Double, one of the [=NPC=]s is always actually [[ParanoiaFuel Double in disguise]]??

So... what do you get if you fight fire with fire? More fire. Brain Drain sent what is basically his own pet Skullgirl against the real deal. Why? Because he wanted control of the Skullgirl. [[XanatosRoulette He deliberately let Painwheel loose off the leash so that she would direct herself to destroy Bloody Marie, replacing her]]. Valentine, who worked on Painwheel, was surprised to see her break free of the mind control so easily. And she would know about it more than anyone, save Brain Drain. So Brain Drain let Painwheel go to take out both Valentine AND the Skullgirl to take care of a loose end and replace the Skullgirl. He already has control over Painwheel. He made something of similar makeup that he already controlled because asserting dominance over a Skullgirl is... [[Understatement kind]] [[PowerFloats of]] [[PowersDoTheFighting hard]] [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity to]] [[ArmyOfTheDead do]].

[[WMG: Brain Drain is a schemer, and Painwheel was a pawn and remained as such from the start.]]
Painwheel, thanks to the Skullgirl blood infused in her, is essentially on the Skull Heart's short list in the event that it gets broken or can't find a poor sucker to trick. She's a great big backup plan now. The Buer Drive and Gae Bolga parasites were infused to make sure that blood didn't take her apart or something. In her story she wrecks both the Skullgirl AND the Skull Heart, and after being informally rejected by her parents for being a monster she kneels in the street, engulfed with anguish and pain. Brain Drain then, out of nowhere, orders her to return to Lab Zero, at which point Painwheel grows Skullgirl eyes, seemingly becoming the new Skullgirl without the wishmaking.

Of what we saw, at the Contiello matriarch's birthday party, Double in disguise delivered the Skull Heart to the birthday woman as a present. Lorenzo Medici, younger back then, had been after that thing already for unknown reasons, probably the power. He leaped out of his metaphorical seat to issue a command to literally murder every last Contiello to get that Skull Heart from them, even though they'd been pals until then. This order went down rather efficiently... until the Skull Heart was activated and turned the birthday massacre into a messed up welcome home party. Followed closely by a war party. When the dust cleared, the Contiellos were flattened, the Skullgirl was destroyed and the Skull Heart itself was nowhere to be found. Boo frikkin' hoo.

As we can see, there isn't a whole lot of little girl left of Patricia. It's mostly robot limbs, crazy bodily portals and weaponized bear trap teeth. Then there's those little knife eye things... in her intro they can float independently from her body, and her Argus Agony super makes a giant robot peacock head come out of her hat, followed by a laser barrage from an array of the Argus eyes. Her normal eyes are gone, too. So what if instead of seeing a comprehensible vision of the world through technology, she sees out of every eye from every perspective all at once? The Argus system is in control and it has adapted to what was left of her personality to assume the identity of Peacock, a deranged 'little girl' that likes violence and tv shows and hates chopsticks. And also has laser arms/eyes and can shove an entire mallet through her empty eye socket when she's done bashing heads with it. Peacock is not a person, but a parasite in its final stage of integration with a host. The Avery unit hasn't quite caught onto this yet.

** Doctor Avian has red eyes. But he doesn't appear to have any kind of cool special abilities at all... There are also several unnamed [=NPCs=] with red eyes who don't appear to be playable or otherwise in the spotlight.

The world and all the races that inhabit it are real, but everything dealing with the war, the Medici family, the Skull Heart, and the Skullgirl are just elements of a movie that's being made. This is why the whole game contains different terms/items used in film making.

This all spawned from this Troper beating Squigly as Parasoul. Leviathan accuses Parasoul of being a usurper. Wonder why.

When the dust cleared, the Contiellos were flattened, the Skullgirl was destroyed and the Skull Heart itself was nowhere to be found. Boo frikkin' hoo.

But years later the same damn thing happens when Queen Canopy wishes for world peace. Where the hell did SHE get the Skull Heart from?? Simple. She got it when the Contiellos were destroyed. The Medicis are implied to have a great deal of pull within the Kingdom, preventing Parasoul and co. from storming his mansion and making him dead, making his family dead and burning his house to the ground and then desecrating the ruins in the middle of the night in a bout of movie induced irony. So... when the Medicis went and pulled the plug on the Contiellos, the Canopy Kingdom also had forces there to get the Heart. Then the Skullgirl happened and they, though not prepared, were able to put her down quick and easy. Ish. Not linking that power to the Skull Heart, they pinched it when Lorenzo wasn't looking and kept it from him. And after a while Her Majesty goes and wishes for something as unfathomably selfish as world peace, and we know what happened from there.

Brain Drain himself showed very little urge to actually fetch his wayward weapon girl once she strayed off to do crazy Painwheel things. He only actually shows up when Painwheel's Skullgirl aspects (the eyes) started to manifest, which was his green light regarding whether or not his gambit had succeeded.
