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.

Abilities/Powers:
⚾ Scout is pretty fast, as stated above. Though certain drinks allow him to take less (or no) damage, it can be assumed these drinks will not be in Haven and so, while Scout's speed will still be faster than most, he can still take damage quite easily.
⚾ Scout can double-jump to get to higher places. When equipped with The Atomizer, he can triple jump but at the cost of taking damage, as he hits himself with the bat to make that third jump.
⚾ It can be safely assumed that Scout is decent (at the least) when it comes to playing baseball. In TF2, when he is equipped with The Sandman, he easily tosses a baseball into the air and hits it with the bat, sending it flying into an enemy. Since he's pretty much obsessed with the sport, he has probably practiced it quite a bit in his free time!
⚾ Scout can wield small guns without a problem. He can also wield a mackerel if need be.
⚾ Apparently Scout can down quite a bit of caffeine without getting sick. That's a pretty admirable ability, I'd say.

The clock struck seven and the sun's rays shone bright through the cracks in the blinds, instantly waking the young man. Though he had went to bed quite late the night prior, he knew he had to be ready to go and seize the day as soon as possible. After all, being late was not an option. Tossing the sheets down to the bottom of the mattress, he sat up, wiped some sleep from his eyes, then maneuvered to face the edge of the bed where he quickly planted both feet on the ground. While glancing around his room to assist in waking up, he spotted a framed picture on his nightstand. The image was clear, and it consisted of his mother, his eldest brother, and his father. Forcing himself to finally stand up, he wandered over to the nightstand and picked up the frame, bringing it to eye level.

Memories began to flood his mind as he stared at the photograph; in particular, he stared at his parents, one of whom he never personally knew. When he was but a mere infant, his father had left his mother for a reason he could never understand, and no matter how many times he had asked her what had happened or who he really was, she refused to tell him more than a few words. A few meaningless words.

He carefully sat the frame back down and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath as he wondered how his mother felt at that very moment. Not about his father, no, but about him. Today was important, but unfortunately, Scout's mother was not permitted to be with him. He wouldn't have wanted her to be there, anyway. He couldn't bear to put her in danger, no matter how even at his current age, he still felt a bit vulnerable.

Reopening his eyes, he wandered toward the bathroom, where he would shower and put his clothes on for another day at work.
