In-Character Information

Name: RED Scout. He has no canon civilian name, so if he needs one here I can definitely make one up!
Game/Series: Team Fortress 2
Teacher/Student/Other: Student.
Canon Point: Right before the Mann vs. Machine update. Scout don't know 'bout no robots.
Age: Valve has recently released an age! Scout is 23.
Grade Level/Class Taught/Job: Freshman. Because why not?
Dorm or Living Arrangement: Dorm. With whoever!

Personality:
Scout is, in short, a very boisterous and energetic young man. Spewing out insults such as 'chucklefuck,' 'chucklenuts,' 'blockhead,' and 'knucklehead,' he clearly doesn't care about being even the slightest bit friendly to anyone, even his teammates. On occasion, he will slip out a 'thanks,' but it's pretty rare, and when it happens, it's inevitable that it won't be long until another insult comes flying out of his mouth. His accent is sometimes hard to decipher, since it's a heavy Boston one, but once someone is around him long enough they tend to pick up on the way he says things. (For the most part, words ending with an 'r,' like 'liar,' adopt more of an 'ah' sound at the end, like 'liah'.) He is also very boastful -- this can prove to be annoying to others, and it clouds the Bostonian's mind where he can't see any faults that he has. In the Meet the Scout video, he's seen saying that he's 'a big deal,' and that his muscles are 'beautiful'. In all honesty, one can barely see any muscles at all, proving that Scout has a fairly large ego, at least in that sense. In the comic coinciding with the Mac Update, Scout is seen flirting with the female shop employee, and in the Meet the Director comic, he attempts to win the affection (or at least the attention) of the Administrator's assistant, Miss Pauling. Needless to say, Scout is the type of guy that hits on women pretty much all of the time with little to no success. (This may very well have to do with the fact that when he flirts he only talks about himself, completely disregarding the woman he's trying to woo.)

A big ego isn't the man's only personality flaw. He's also extremely impatient -- in the Meet The Spy video, he is seen literally yelling at the Soldier on his team to hurry up and unlock the door to the room in their base with important information hidden in a briefcase because they have no time to waste. Scout despises wasting time. In fact, as soon as a mission starts in the game, Scouts are usually the first class to run the heck out of the respawn point and toward the action. Life is short and there's only so much time to get stuff done, right? At least, that's Scout's point of view.

Scout, being the youngest class in Team Fortress 2, still obviously cares about his mother, which is evidenced by some of the things he says when the player earns an achievement while playing as him. He quite happily says, "hi, Ma!" and "look at me, Ma!" then, meaning that he's hoping his mother is paying attention to what he's doing and is hopefully proud of him, though he'd most likely never go out and actually announce that specifically. He also has a fondness for baseball, which can also be tied to the fact that he's still pretty young. He wears the same type of trousers a professional baseball player wears, as well as a batter's helmet and athletic shoes, and his main weapon is a baseball bat, which he swings with ease, most likely due to watching and studying his favorite teams play on television. If he actually shows interest in another person, (which is extremely rare and only shown in the official Team Fortress 2 comics mentioned above), he may bring up baseball with them as it's a subject he's fairly knowledgeable in.

He enjoys caffeinated beverages, his favorite being a concoction known as Bonk! Atomic Punch. (How he obtains these beverages is pretty much unknown, and he seems to have a relatively large supply of them.) These drinks amplify his energy, though even without them he's known to literally bounce off of walls. Usually his energy is used to dart away from the enemy as soon as he whacks them with either his trusty bat or the baseball hit by his bat, so he suffers minimal, or preferably no damage, and Bonk! Atomic Punch helps him even further by speeding up his step to push him out of harm's way. The fact that he drinks so many of these beverages probably proves that Scout isn't the healthiest man, in that he doesn't eat and drink things that are 'good' for him. In the Jarate advertisement, Scout is seen eating a taco, and in an official drawing, he mentions hot dogs. Nowhere does he ever mention anything remotely healthy, and though it's pretty evidenced that he cares about his mother, he may not actually listen to everything she suggests he should do. Either way, he's a fast-talking, even faster-moving force to be reckoned with, and his poor eating habits don't seem to affect his ability to fight.

Scout is extremely fast. After drinking a certain type of Bonk! Atomic Punch, he is able to run fast enough to completely deflect any sort of damage dealt to him, and other types of the drink cause him to simply run really, really fast -- faster than normal, even, and normally he's the fastest class in Team Fortress 2. Being fast allows Scout to obtain secret information about the enemy, which is undoubtedly very, very helpful for his team to capture all of the points. Scout can also double-jump, and being the only class with that ability, can easily get out of harm's way and/or attack enemies before they can even figure out what hit them.

Though, being fast and small has its downfall, in that Scout takes a lot of damage when he is hit. Running away after shooting an enemy with his pistol or smacking them with The Sandman is usually the smartest course of action for the boy to take, since only a few hits cause him to pass out completely and, in the canon of Team Fortress 2, get sent back to the respawn point.

Information about Scout: http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Scout and http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Meet_the_Scout

Team Fortress 2 is a First Person Shooter game that unfortunately has very little plot. The plot that is there is a very simple one. Basically, one company in control of one side of the world is constantly at arms with the company controlling the other side, both of which are given the orders to capture parts the other company controls by a mysterious woman with simply a title for a name. Since the plot is so basic, there really isn't much information given about the classes one can play as. Their history, for the most part, is up in the air, though the official website for the game does occasionally have comics starring the classes posted. These comics can give you a bit of information, but not much.

All that is known about Scout is that he was born and raised in Boston, and being the youngest of eight in his household, learned at a relatively young age to train his legs to the point where he could outrun his older brothers and beat them to the fights they were hoping to engage in. Of course, after finally being able to outrun his brothers, Scout adopted a strong method of offense, with his favorite weapon being a baseball bat dubbed The Sandman. Also occasionally using a pistol (The Scattergun or The Force-A-Nature to name just two), Scout grew to become a decent fighter, though he never thinks twice about using his speed to his advantage.

As for how he arrived at Smash Academy, well, it can be assumed that he died while on the job and was sent to respawn, ending up in a place he obviously didn't expect. Considering his loud, opinionated nature, he will most likely not be happy about his current situation and will let the entire campus know. (Scout is not the type of person to enjoy school, for one thing!)

Anything Else?: Further proof that Scout is a D-bag.

In-Character 1st person sample:
[The voice the entirety of the campus will hear is loud, very Boston, and very angry.]

YO! What's this crap all about? I already went t'school -- I ain't a college man! I got all the skills I'll ever need.

[He sighs.]

I don't know what this 'final destination' crap is but I don't like the sound'a it. I mean -- I'm used t'bein' told I'm gonna die or whatever, and I always make it out alright since I'm so freakin' fast and all, but I don't think I'm likin' the sound'a this.

Uh, so ... REDs! Doc! Fat-Man! Mumbles, Hardhat, Snipes, Spy, Demo, Soldier ... anyone around? I mean I know yer all old as shit 'n everythin' but Ma always told me yer never too old for college so maybe some'a you guys are here? Hopefully.

As for everyone else! Name's Scout. I'm the fastest man alive 'n if ya don't wanna hear it then I welcome ya to race me! I'm also real freakin' awesome at baseball, no joke. I'm always up for a game.

I'm also single, so babes, feel free t'meet me 'round my dorm: [ADDRESS HERE]

Guess that's it! Catch ya later!

In-Character 3rd person sample:
Taking his hat and headset off for just a moment, he raised his free hand and wiped the sweat from his brow, squinting toward the building in thought. It was a beautiful day, possibly around 70 degrees, sunny, no clouds in the sky. Scout was pretty content, as the weather was working in his favor, it seemed. As he placed his hat and headset back onto his head, he nodded (even though nobody was around) and leaned forward, hands now on his thighs. He figured today was the day.

He was going to impress a girl by running around the track as many times as he could.

Sure, nobody was around now, but Scout assumed that would not be the case for long. It was far too beautiful out for the entirety of the campus to not go outside, even for just a few minutes.

It's now or never, he thought, and immediately began to run. Starting off a little slow, he took advantage of the cool breeze gently smacking his face, momentarily considering taking his hat off mid-run to feel it pass through his hair. Continuing around the track, Scout's expression was serious, as serious as it would be if he were racing someone. Hoping that by now, someone, anyone was watching, he let his expression relax. Smiling, he turned his head to the left, scoping around for an audience, then to the right.

Someone was standing near the track. A girl!

Scout's grin widened and he waved toward her as he continued to run, picking up the pace tenfold. He was going as fast as he could without any assistance (namely, his drink), hoping very much that she was watching him and admiring his speed.
