He was later brought to Alternia by the first meteor to travel there in its planetary timeline, and the last in the trolls' Reckoning.
#WOLF GAMES SCRATCH CODE#
Similar to how Becquerel had been created by Rose's “ MEOW ” code and a dog's paradox slime, Scratch was brought to life in the later stages of the session by Team Charge's “ t1CK ” “ t0ck ” code, Team Scourge's “ 8r8k ” “ H34DS ” code, and the ~ATH book's “ honk HONK ” code, along with the paradox slime of an all-knowing cue ball and Lil Cal by the Black Queen. The book was retrieved from the alternate timeline by an Aradiabot, but was taken by the Black Queen's agents, along with the Flarp books that other, smaller pieces of his code were stored in. Most of his genetic code came from a ~ATH book that a doomed timeline's Gamzee Makara had written in with the blood of his co-players. His head is shaped like a cue ball, though the lack of an outline makes it look less like a ball and more like a hole in space. Scratch appears as a humanoid figure in a white and green suit with a white handgun. According to D oc Scratch himself, the name is chosen because it is "befitting of the passive gunslinger charged with initiating the break." Like his master, D oc Scratch is not his true name, rather, it is merely a pseudonym. "Scratch" also means "to erase or eliminate", which reflects English's role as the demon that will destroy the universe. It may also play on "Old Scratch," a traditional name for Satan, which relates to his role as "The Devil" in the story of the ancestors.
This relates to how D oc Scratch would die in order to bring forth L ord English. He fits into the billiards concept introduced by the Felt as the cue ball, and his name is an obvious reference to the pool term for pocketing it. He uses pure white text and no chumhandle or trolltag, making conversations difficult to read without highlighting.īeing omniscient, he is an extremely skilled manipulator. He also communicates frequently with Rose Lalonde in her session, and has made visits to Kanaya Maryam in person. He communicates primarily with Vriska Serket via Trollian. D oc Scratch is an officer of L ord English and the first guardian of Alternia, meant to protect the planet, as well as facilitate the planet's " ultimate purpose".
