[[tab Overview]]
[[# anchor-overview]]
+ Who is the Black Queen?

Years ago, when she was still very young, her father abandoned her and her mother. No note, no packed suitcase, no nothing. Just there one minute, gone the next. Her mother promptly fell apart, leaving Alison to largely fend for herself. Over the years, she became fixated on the idea of finding her father. Through whatever means necessary, she will find her father, and bring to account those who stole her family from her.

This is simply the general framework for the Black Queens. There are hundreds of Black Queens scattered across thousands of universes. Most never become aware of the existence of other Queens and simply do their own thing in their universe. Or die or remain normal or whatever. However, a precious few discover this.

+ Who is her father?

Doctor Charles Gears. Depending on the universe he is, a robot, an emotionally dead man, an anomalous artifact, or something else entirely. Whatever he is, Gears always plays a pivotal role in the world of the anomalous in whatever universe he's in. Black Queens will frequently go out of their way to preserve the life of a Gears, although some may seek to destroy dangerous iterations of him.

+ Who are the Black Queens?

A network of alternate reality travelers, one woman in particular spread across the multiverse. The Black Queen group's goal seems to be simply sharing information between Black Queens, in an effort to aid them in their own endeavors. Whether saving universes or planning a heist, a Black Queen knows she can always rely on herself, er... her //selves// .


+ Where are the Black Queen's secrets?

In the multiversal catalogs. Whenever a particular instance of an object is encountered on a different world, it is noted. Often, iterations of the Black Queen with a great deal of knowledge on or interest in the object will annotate the catalog to provide greater insight through updates, questions, comments, as well as logs of heists and visual information.

[[div class="pseudomain"]]
If you're reading this, you probably want some guidelines for writing The Black Queen, either as a character or as a GOI. Unfortunately, I don't have any for you. A phrase that gets tossed around about the SCP Wiki a lot is "There Is No Canon" and I believe The Black Queen embodies that more than most.

What I've written here is more contextual, designed to summarize previous existing versions of the character and group of interest, to serve as inspiration and to show you what you //can// do, rather than what you //have// to do.

[[tab History]]
[[=]]
+ **__Original__**
[[/=]]
[[<]]
The //original// version of the Black Queen no longer exists on the wiki.
She did not travel the multiverse, she had no relation to Charles Gears and she was not even named Alison Chao. The Black Queen GOI? non-existent.

The first Black Queen was a character named Raina Preta, created by Fishmonger for his "Chessboard Trilogy" series. She is, initially, a young woman blackmailed into joining a time war by threats against her brother. She successfully prevents the character of Kilroy from making a small change to the timeline by seducing him, and they become romantically involved. Following this she has a technopathic messianic daughter named Alice, then leaves her family over philosophical differences. She becomes a uniquely effective mercenary despite seeming totally non-anomalous, on multiple occasions causing the Foundation a fair bit of trouble, at times robbing them using the pseudonym L.S.

[[=]]
+ **__Reimagining__**
[[/=]]

When Fishmonger's works were deleted, the character was nonetheless remembered and reimagined. Namely [[*user Dr Gears]] wrote [[[The Black Queen]]] wherein he reimagines her as a daughter of his author avatar, Dr. Gears, and writes two branching paths she might have taken. The second path has the most in common with her current general characterization, having her on the warpath to get her estranged father back from the Foundation, no matter what she has to do to get there. Mostly unused elements from this iteration are her ties to Marshall, Carter & Dark, and her life as a mundane researcher. 

While this iteration does not feature the BQ traveling the multiverse or encountering multiversal variants of herself, it does lay the groundwork for this by having two branching paths/universes and by positing that the Black Queen could essentially work in any universe, something that would be fundamental to her next major reimagining.

[[=]]
+ **__Modern__**
[[/=]]

This new development of the character came, as it did for many GOIs, during the [[[goi-contest-2014| 2014 GOIcon]]]. This was developed by team "The Other Game in Town" composed of [[*user Gaffsey]], [[*user Silberescher]] and [[*user rumetzen]], it also owes a lot to [[*user thedeadlymoose]] and their contemporaneous series "[[[The Serpent Sequence]]]" as well as their help ideating with the GOIcon team.

These four invented the Black Queen GOI, the GOI format, the BQ's Serpent's Hand membership, and her status as a universe-hopping character collaborating with other versions of herself, as well as rekindled the idea of the Black Queen and L.S. being one and the same.

If you want to know more about these elements than that summary gives, then read those series! I'd much rather you get to read those stories firsthand. If you want to hear about more recent interpretations of the Black Queen, then read on to the next sections.
[[/<]]
[[/tab]]
[[tab Who is the Black Queen?]]

The question "Who is the Black Queen?" doesn't really have an answer. Sure, there are some commonalities between versions. She's often the daughter of Charles Gears, an enemy of the Foundation, has ties to the Serpent's Hand, goes by LS, and collaborates with other Black Queens. Her name is typically Alison Chao. 

But this is a character who for the past decade has had the multiverse at her "core" so this isn't always true.

Sometimes the Black Queen is a guy, or non-binary. Sometimes she has no relation to Charles Gears. Sometimes the Black Queen is not a version of Alison Chao at all, such as in the case of the Green King or Daniel Asheworth. 

Age varies, gender varies, sexuality varies, ethnicity varies, sometimes even the species varies. There's sentient math equations, androids, hell there's even a sentient sign BQ.

Given all that, the //real// question here is "Who is **your** Black Queen?" 

Why are you writing the Black Queen? What makes her stand out as a character to you? What about her resonates with you?

This isn't to say that you have to make a new character from scratch! If an existing interpretation speaks to you, there's nothing wrong with that. As can be seen in the Variants section of the hub, there are a lot of Queens that appear only once, and then never again. I'd like to see those get some love, you know? 

Of course, I have my own ideas on the Black Queen. To me, she's a lonely girl looking for connections. Going after her father, working with her other selves and calling them sisters, I think there can be a lot to unpack there. But that's just my thoughts.

Ultimately, what I'm saying here is write her however you want, and don't feel tied down by what's currently written.

[[/tab]]
[[tab Who are the Black Queens?]]
(Seriously, why aren't they called 'The Black Sisterhood' or something?)

[[=]]
+ **__Black Queen GOI Format__**
[[/=]]
[[<]]
The main shtick of the BQ GOI formats is multiple BQ variants discussing an item, person or event that repeats across the multiverse and discussing how it differs in each iteration. 

I think the way to succeed in that is to create an interesting anomaly and make sure the character voices differ. That may seem obvious, but genuinely that would solve my problem with a lot of the BQ GOIFs. Many of them don't give their BQs unique enough voices or experiences to tell them apart.

It doesn't have to be a //lot//. Tt can be "BQ but she's involved in a GOI she typically isn't" or "BQ but he's living in the Old West" or "BQ but she's a burger" or "BQ but they're a pro basketball player" just about anything. So long as you can make her experiences make her distinguishable from the others and inform her opinions. If all of them are clones of each other and they all agree on everything then there's not much of interest in the GOI format (feel free to prove me wrong of course).

The way the format is designed, the only way you're getting a plot structure is through the BQs' dialogue when reacting to information, or, rarely, being affected by the anomaly in some way as the GOI format progresses (physically attacked, memetics, whatever), so it's paramount that you use interesting characters. It is also very important that they have enough space to //be// interesting characters. Don't overcrowd the piece with Black Queens, use the minimum necessary for the dynamic you want to create between them. The more BQs you have in the piece, the less dialogue they'll each have to say and the harder it is to develop a personality for them all that won't get lost in the shuffle. Personally I'd advise going with three or four, five //at the most.//

That is, of course, only if you use the typical GOI format. The big secret here is that the original got made up and first used by the GOIcon2014 team, and you can do that too! [[[The Queen In Green]]] isn't a typical GOI format but it's tagged as one and I think it's pretty good. Why not try making one yourself? If a new one catches on I'd be more than happy to throw that formatting on the hub with the current one.

As for the anomaly used in the article, my main advice there is that the Black Queens should all have some experience with it. Positive, negative, intentional or accidental, that's up to you and the story you want to tell. I will also say that it's easy to fall into the trap of writing alternate universe versions of a pre-existing anomaly and characters. If you do that, be careful that your work doesn't rely too heavily on an existing work to be enjoyable.
[[/<]]
[[=]]
+ **__The Group__**
[[/=]]
[[<]]
You'll notice that I haven't really mentioned how the Black Queen GOI works, how they're structured or what they do. That's because it's never really established.

The lore elements that tend to stick with the GOI is that their membership is almost exclusively Black Queens, that they use identifiers of some kind to differentiate each other, that they operate out of the Library and that they have a Multiversal Catalogue of some kind.

That's about it.

No indication of hierarchy or purpose, which leaves these gals as a big question mark in a lot of ways.

That said, like anything on the wiki, a lot of lore gets thrown into works that can be used if someone wants to use it, and you can also make assumptions based on established elements.

They're said to work out of the Library, and many of them are said to go by L.S., which is sometimes associated with the Serpent's Hand, so there's a natural connection drawn between the Black Queen organization and the Hand, which many works do.

The BQ GOIF is said to relate to the "Multiversal Archive", logically that system, whatever it is, would be upkept in some way, hence "gearspawn" who is said to have programmed the archive.

Due to the many different alliances, allegiances and goals of its members, one can assume that the organization is more of an information sharing collective, rather than an organization with a specific mission beyond that.

And given the various BQ identifiers, you can assume those either get chosen or assigned so as to prevent BQs from having duplicate identifiers.

There are some really cool takes on the assembly of Black Queens, and the organization themselves in [[[escapism-hub| Escapism]]], if anyone is desperate for some BQ worldbuilding I suggest looking there.

Or, hey you can always make up your own :)
The possibilities are limitless.
