Editing Scape (section)

==Appearance==
Six Scapes were initially created. Four of them had mask-like faces that were hard and rigid. The fifth was tall and elongated with bones that were curved. The sixth's appearance was unknown.<ref name="five">Grue leaned close, whispered in my ear, “Five Vistas.  All but one of them have faces more like masks than skin and muscle.  Hard, rigid.  Wearing borrowed clothes, not costumes.  The fifth one might be taller than I am, and her bones look curved.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/29/queen-18-4/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.4]]</ref>

The "masked" Scapes had faces that appeared more like a mask than flesh. All of them had hardened skin, though certain masked Scapes had harder skin than others.<ref name="second">The second one had arrived, creating footholds and handholds to ascend the section of road she’d raised into a vertical wall, twelve feet high.  She was now perched on top, crouching.  In the time that it had taken me to lose the armband, she had started to work on cutting off our best avenue of retreat.  The road we’d traveled on to get here was raising behind us, bulging upward into a similar barrier.  As far as I could tell, her powers were most in line with the regular Vista, and she seemed to be reacting most to the bites and stings.  I wished that would make me feel more confident about these circumstances. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

One masked Scape had an angular, artificial-looking chin and thin hair on top of her head.<ref>It had been dumb of me to expect them to be in costume.  I hadn’t even considered it, but Noelle wouldn’t spit out anything but the people themselves.  The bugs noted the hardness of her face, more like a mask than flesh, her angular, almost artificial chin, and the thin hair on top of her head. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/queen-18-5/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.5]]</ref> Her "eye-holes" were small and her mouth was little more than a lipless slit.<ref>The bugs that I was sending her way were having a hard time approaching.  They kept veering around so they flew clockwise around her instead of straight.  I had only a few bugs attacking her, but the same effect that I’d seen with her face had hardened her skin and there weren’t many places left to attack.  Her mouth was little more than a lipless slit across the lower half of her face, firmly closed, and only the smallest bugs could get at her eyes.  She barely flinched at the bites and stings my swarm was delivering. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

Another masked Scape had thinner skin and was presumably less mutated than the others.<ref name="second" />

Another masked Scape was shorter than usual. She was thicker in the arms and legs, with a neck as thick around as her head.<ref name="jagged" />

The tall Scape was described to look stretched like taffy, her bones so curved they were shaped like crescents. She was incredibly thin, with a face twisted into a perpetual, distorted scream.<ref name="tall">And I was aware of a third one.  The tall Vista Grue had described.  She’d stretched like taffy, her bones curving to the point that each was more a crescent than straight.  Narrow, so thin it felt like she’d break, with a face twisted into a perpetual, distorted scream, she was picking her way through the rubble of the fallen building.  Her power was twisting the largest pieces of rubble around her until they were wisps, chunks of concrete slowly corkscrewing in space until they were nothing more than dust. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/queen-18-5/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.5]]</ref> Her limbs were long, gangly, and formed zig-zags.<ref>That left the freakishly tall one.  The Vista with limbs that zig-zagged, who was apparently turning matter into radioactive dust.  She’d climbed past the wreckage of the fallen building and now stood on solid ground again, facing us. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> She also had hard and gnarled skin, similar to the masked Scapes.<ref>My bugs were covering every inch of her skin, and I had them biting and tearing at her flesh.  Her skin was hard, gnarled, and calloused, but I did the damage where I could at the elbows, knees and neck, drawing blood.  I tried to tell myself that she was a monster, a mockery of a real person, and she was too dangerous to be allowed to live.  With that kind of unhinged mental state, and her ability to irradiate people…  I grit my teeth.  No choice. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref> Her voice didn't sound normal, but was almost like a young girl's.<ref>Still fighting to avoid being brained by Wanton’s telekinetic storm, the tall Vista let out a drawn out half-moan, half-scream, equal parts despair and anger.  It didn’t sound exactly normal, but that didn’t surprise me.  What made my blood run cold was that she almost sounded like a young girl might.  A little too close to reality for comfort. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/05/monarch-18-6/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.6]]</ref>

A Scape freshly vomited by Echidna had fingernail-like plates of hard flesh covering her body.<ref>One of the heads of Noelle’s lower body vomited up a slurry of flesh, with two naked bodies in the midst of it.  A Vista covered in fingernail-like plates of hard flesh and a Leet with one forearm and hand as big as his torso.  The two clones were on their feet in seconds.  The Vista ran in Eidolon’s direction, while the Leet made a beeline for a nearby mall entrance.. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/09/queen-18-7/ Excerpt] from [[Queen 18.7]]</ref>
