Since the next chapters underway I figure it was time to update Delany's armor set to something a little more 'ceremonial'. THE MORTICIAN. V4

Q: Did Delany always have Traitor™ thoughts, or was there an event that caused her to be disillusioned? ~ @Zelaird Gervik

A: So Delany's hasn't always been a traitor by her very nature, but she's never been disillusioned by the Dogma of Super Earth. In her mind all the patriotic rhetoric is kind of cringe. Stupid rules and attitudes that made her a lot smarter than everyone else around her. Naturally, she's resistant to authority when she knows she can do it better, or at least when she thinks she knows how to do things better.

That's often gotten her in a lot of hot weather with Super Earth local law enforcement, and, if it wasn't for her grandfathers war hero status and her own notable gifts, would have lead her to some very irreversible situations after tussling with the law.

Even in the comic we go over her constant dissidence against Cerberus and the Truth enforcers for her own self interest (Diego) even at the cost of those closer to her (Rose's legs).

Folks can blame claudiclods for this, because the pun alone is too good 'Dollany'

Happy treason tuesday! A Q from the Patreon folks!

Q - What was Dels upbringing in SE like?

A - Delany's past has always been a story I've wanted to explore but given how much time I can sink into the comic felt it isn't something I'd be able to jump on. THAT BEING SAID, a spin-off set in Mexico would be neat :eyes: when certain story arcs progress.

BUT, for now, Del's upbringing of SE has been hinted at in the comic/through various answers in the red questions area, but I recon this will be the most concrete and concise record of Delany's past post-Helldiver Rank.

Her story on Super Earth began with the death of her parents, and the fall of the UK. Assuming there is some lore to why the UK is total in ruin, assume it's to do with an economic collapse, and the forced relocation of it's citizens around the world. The payout on her perants death as helldivers on duty, only JUST got her and her grandfather out of England and towards a haven-city in Mexico.

It's here her and her grandfather was assigned a home with Diego's family, where the two groups began to integrate with one another. This is where she met her 'brother Diego'. The two grew thick as thieves, but Delany was always the rebel, and knew how to push buttons, and how to sweet talk her way out of anything. Granted, over the years this did get her a lot of beatings and some community service. (See image of 18 year old Delany)

After her grandfather died Delany really began to wise up and suddenly get on board with making something of herself, and with Diego joined the SEAF, which started her career path into becoming a helldiver!
