“I have no enemies, only prey.”

Before Scorch became the Death Angel, he was a mere grunt. Born on a blood-soaked field of death, Scorch grows up in a world of war and violence and experiences one tragedy after another. That is, until he meets the Reapers, a mercenary band who make him see a side of life beyond battle and survival. On his adventures with the Reapers, Scorch finds meaning, fulfillment, and comradery, but the light of his new life blinds him and an unseen nemesis seeks to plunge Scorch back into the darkness.
Process: I’ve always had a fascination with sharks, and growing up with video games like Sonic the Hedgehog and Crash Bandicoot, I thought I would make a shark character. I came up with Scorch the Shark when I was in middle school, and from there, I further developed the story and world-building. I’ve featured Scorch in short stories, comic scripts, and video games, but Ronin is the first story that takes a deeper look into his character.
