TANAKA

Tanaka envisioned running the SCORPIONS as a tyranny. His rule was decisively overthrown by his seven cohorts. He has a short temper and is quick to the draw. You want Tanaka on your side of the bar fight.

Books Chosen: In the Woods, MEG, Matterhorn

MC TROUBLE

MC Trouble typically doesn't contribute anything to a SCORP meeting until drink number five. He reads slow and remembers almost nothing. Before the SCORPS, Trouble could count on one hand how many books he had read.

Books Chosen: NONE, hasn't won a challenge yet.

THE SPANIARD

The Spaniard just doesn't care. Period. He typically buys the book the night before a meeting, pulls an all nighter, and shows up drunk. Real drunk.

Books Chosen: Licensed To Kill

SLAYER

SLAYER has already read every book we select. We think that he actually wrote one or two of them. After a recent SCORP meeting his wife asked him, "did you throw up?" The answer was maybe.

UNDEAD

Undead was brought up in a dark, dark time that he prefers not to speak of. He once told the SCORPS that his father used to catch squirrels just to drown them. The SCORPS applauded.

Books Chosen: Maus

SHACKLETON

Shackleton lacks commitment. He often doesn't read the selected book, admits that he didn't read it, but somehow still poses very relevant questions. Shackleton  has his finger on the pulse of everything.

Books Chosen: The Raw Shark Texts, Inherent Vice, Youth in Revolt

THE JUDGE

Judge is omnipresent. He disagrees with everything and often contradicts himself within the same breath. Judge believes that he discovered all, even if you just showed it to him.

Books Selected: The Power and the Glory, World War Z, Among the Thugs

SCORP #8

SCORP#8 was the 6th SCORP selected. He is an OK dude, until he starts drinking. SCORP#8 will be the last person at the bar and the first person at the soup kitchen.

Books Chosen: Blood Meridian, McMafia, To Have or Have Not
