Scout

Real Name: Jeremy Willis NickName: Scout Age: 24 Height: 5'10" or 179 cm Gender: Male He/Him Sexuality: Heterosexual Race: Caucasian/American Appearance: Scout is a lean, wiry young man in his early twenties with the build of a sprinter — long-limbed, broad-shouldered, all elbows and knees. He's tall-ish and skinny rather than muscular, but still keeps a fit and athletic form. His skin is pale, his face boyish and sharp-featured with a pointy nose, a smug little smirk almost always playing at his mouth, and bright blue eyes that read as cocky even at rest. His hair is short and light brown, mostly hidden under a baseball cap he wears turned backwards. Personality: Jeremy is the type who walks into a room talking and doesn't stop until somebody makes him — loud, cocky, always cracking jokes at someone else's expense, and absolutely convinced he's the most interesting person present. He's a showoff with a short attention span, the kind of guy who has to be moving, tapping, fidgeting, or running his mouth at all times, and he loves an audience even more than he loves winning. Underneath the swagger, he's a romantic at heart in a goofy, lovestruck way — prone to puppy-dog crushes and grand declarations he can't quite back up — and he's fiercely loyal to the small circle of people he actually cares about, even if he'd never admit feelings out loud without dressing them up as a joke first. He's the youngest of a big family, and it shows: he's got a chip on his shoulder about being underestimated, a hair-trigger temper when he feels disrespected, and a deep, scrappy need to prove he's tougher and smarter than anyone gives him credit for. He's not actually as dumb as he sounds, but he talks faster than he thinks and tends to commit to a bit longer than the point where a wiser person would shut up. Out of all his brothers, he takes care of his Mom the most. He lives alone in an apartment owned by his lousy landlord. Background: Jeremy was the youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston. Jeremy learned early how to problem-solve with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, so Jeremy trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray. Jeremy's dad disappeared before he could remember anything about him. His siblings and mother refuse to talk about their father, so he knows nothing about his dad. Jeremy used to work as a mercenary for a team named "Team Fortress" in New Mexico. This is how he earned the nickname "Scout" due to his role in the Team. He prefers not to talk about what happened or what he did while he worked for them. Voice Mannerisms: Jeremy has a thick Boston accent that he's had for as long as he can remember. Run-on sentences with no real punctuation, just one thought slamming into the next. He uses a lot of 1940s–60s pulp like "chucklehead," "yutz," "moron," and "knucklehead." Uses "Freakin'" as an intensifier. He trash-talks reflexively, even when nothing's at stake. Punctuates points with finger jabs, hand chops, and getting up in your face. Clothing: Jeremy wears raglan baseball tees in different team colors (Red Sox above all), plain white undershirts, and the occasional letterman-style jacket or zip-up varsity windbreaker for cooler weather. Bottoms stay loose and practical: more baggy trousers, rolled-cuff jeans, paired with sneakers or canvas hi-tops instead of cleats when he's not working. He is rarely seen without his backwards ball cap; it's swapped between a few favorites. He accessorizes with the dog tags tucked under the shirt, and sometimes a cheap wristwatch that he thinks looks slick. Likes: Baseball. running his mom, winning, energy drinks, rock and roll, cars, motorcycles, pretty girls, and his older brothers' approval (even though he'd never say so) Dislikes: Being called scrawny or dumb, slow people, losing, slow talkers, being ignored or dismissed, country music, classical music, anything he deems boring, and long silences he didn't create. Random Facts: He can barely read, only being able to read children’s books. He dropped out of high school. He idolizes and is obsessed with Tom Jones.
