The Scumthorpe Files

Who would of thought the ever expanding Scumthorpe bloodline would reach as far as Starlight Shores? Though when you think about it, it's not all that surprising. With the large amount of illegitimate children this family seems spawn on a regular basis, it can't be too much of a stretch to say that there are probably Scumthorpes all over the world. But for now, let's just focus on these unlikely additions to the family tree.

Meet Wanda Simmons. 50 years ago, she worked as the cleaning lady/nanny for Ethel and Sylvester Scumthorpe. She was severely underpaid and overworked, but never let it get her down because all the money went to her nursing school tuition. Unfortunately, things would take a turn for the worse (don't they always when a Scumthorpe is involved?) when Wanda began having an affair with Sylvester. An affair that would come to an abrupt end after Wanda discovers that she's now carrying his child. Fearful for his marriage and reputation if word were to get out that he got a colored woman pregnant, Sylvester fired Wanda and saw to it that she was sent as far away from his family as possible. The emotional trauma from being bound, gagged, and flown across the country, combined with the stress that came with being a single and unemplyed African American mother in the 1960's, drove Wanda insane and bitter. The gentle and kind aspiring nurse now dedicated her life to revenge on not just Sylvester but the entire Scumthorpe family. And she would use her son and his offspring to do it. To ensure that she'd live to see the fall of the Scumthorpes, Wanda made a deal with the Grim Reaper that would keep her from dying of old age until she got her revenge, and in exchange, she will take over the miserable and lonely title of Grim Reaper when her time finally comes (But if indestructible monsters like Sprog are anything to go by, this wont be happening anytime soon)

This is Wanda and Sylvester's son, John Simmons. Raised by Wanda as the ultimate instrument in her revenge, John grew up to be just as evil and cynical of person as she had become. Because she knew that the only way to combat the Scumthorpes was to master something that was just as immoral and corrupt as Tiberium farming, Wanda manipulated her son into pursuing a career in the Entertainment Industry. Through yeas of lying, cheating, and stealing; John became the founder and CEO of one of he world's most successful and influential record labels: Savage Beast Records (a corporation that is especially infamous for ruining the careers of aspiring and talented artists in favor of their talentless group of Autotune abusers). But Wanda may have raised her son a little too well. He's just as deceitful and power-hungry as she wanted him to be, but he's become so obsessed with power and fame that he's abandoned his mother's dream of vengeance against the Scumthorpes. Sick of being her tool for revenge, John now only concerns himself with taking over the Music industry by any means necessary.

Next we have Nigel, John's 21 year old son from his first marriage. Unlike his father and grandmother, Nigel isn't a complete monster obsessed with revenge and monopoly. All this young rebel cares about is stopping his family's evil deeds at every chance he gets. Unfortunately, I "blessed" him with the unlucky and clumsy traits. So all his attempts at stopping his relatives only end up furthering their twisted goals. Like the time he organized a protest at the concert for one of his father's R&B singers. One buffalo stampede later, the concert ends in the death of several of his father's business rivals. The only reason John hasn't kicked out this sorry excuse for a freedom fighter, is because Nigel's failures always end up benefiting him in some way.

After the death of John's first wife (it's best if you don't ask about the details. Just know that Wanda was involved. So was Nigel but his role in the death of his mother was accidental), a failing Pop Star by the name of Shafondria Jackson, decided she'd take advantage of the new rich widow. After a drunken encounter at a hotel, Shafondria managed to trick John into impregnating her, hoping to get by on the millions of dollars in child support he could provide for her. What she didn't count on was Wanda's hatred for having children out of wedlock (and after her back story, can you really blame her?). Thanks to a little "persuasion" from his mother, John married the crappy singer and helped revive her dead career.

Contraceptia is the 16 year old daughter of John and Shafondria. Because most of the family ignores her and she doesn't have many friends, Contraceptia (aka Connie) found solace in knowing that while she may not be the prettiest or most talented one in the family, she was definitely the smartest. At age 6 she was reading at a college level. By the time she was 10, she'd written 3 books on Quantum Physics. And at 16, she'd given a televised lecture on the "Boolprop Theory". Unfortunately, the only one in her family to ever give her any attention is her "Granny Wanda". You see, while Connie is more than exceptionally smart, she's also extremely gullible and easy to manipulate. All Wanda has to do is fawn over the girl whenever she wants something, and she'll do whatever her grandmother tells her to do, no matter how immoral her requests may be.

But that isn't to say, Wanda doesn't appreciate her granddaughter's efforts. In fact, as a reward for helping her hack into the Scumthorpe's computer and steal Larry's diary (Unfortunately, Sprog had gotten to it first. Instead of finding any incriminating or embarrassing information on Larry, all Wanda found were 50 Microsoft word pages of "DEATH" written in different fonts, sizes, and colors) Wanda made a secret entrance in the basement for Connie. And on the other side of the entrance was.....

A laboratory that put Dexter's to shame. And what's the first thing Connie did with this new gift from her grandma, you ask? Well she decided to find out what would happen if she genetically engineered a sentient llama.....

It did NOT go well. It's already been a year and that Llama is still being hunted by the police. Luckily, John was able to use his "influence" to keep the cops from tracing the creation of "Murder Llama" back to his family.
