8-Ball vs Scratch is a two character outfit that follows the E.G.O vs A.L.T.E.R storyline acting as a some kind of cyborg ninja. It is also believed to mimicking the roles of the characters in the G.I. Joe franchise. Eight was mainly known for his surprisingly good pool skills. Weird, I know.
He had a main enemy in the game—Scratch. He always seemed better than him, and always got the attention. After Eight ended up beating Scratch in a game of pool, Scratch proceeded to go fucking insane, and attempted to kill Eight. In the fight, Eight’s vocal cords were cut. Fortunately, there was miraculously no damage to his actual throat. The only issue is that he can’t speak, and probably never will again. He communicates using sign language, but is very fluent in English.
