"You look like easy pickin' pal!"

Growing Up

(EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE IM BAD AT WRITING) Scooter grew up with his mom in New York. Growing up without a dad he had to basically be the man of the house for a long time. Through this he learned it's better to be positive for his ma than to let her know anything was wrong. From a young age he's been fascinated with stars and aliens. You could often find him on the roof of his house just staring up at the sky. He had a hard time focusing in school and had some troubles with other students. He'd often get into fights and come home with black eyes. To take his mind off of it all he'd just run. He'd run for hours when he'd be released from school until he was absolutely beat by the time he got home. Eventually he joined a track team for obvious reasons. For his 21st birthday he received a gun from his mom, a scattergun. He never knew why she'd given him that, but she said it was just for safety reasons.

Merc Life

Scooter didn't know what to do when he got the job offer. He'd barely used his gun at that point, but seeing how much it paid and wanting to support his mom, he accepted. After being sent off and settled into the fort, he met three mercs there. A soldier, a spy and an engineer. His training began immediately, the soldier taught him to shoot and aim properly and rambled to him about the ways of war. The engineer taught him about using teleporters and dispensers. Scooter took an instant liking to the engineer, he was very kind to him and felt comforted when he was around. The spy however was another case, he seemed to keep his distance when he could. Scooter tried to talk to him one in a while but he seemed uninterested. Eventually more mercs began showing up: a medic, a demoman, a sniper and so on. Scooter got to know them all, some tolerating him more than others. During battles he'd always scout ahead, getting who he can then coming back to warn his team about what he saw. No one really expected how aggressive he could be when fighting, his movements often left his opponents dazed and he'd strike at any opportunity he could. Scooter loved teaming up with his fellow mercs as well. Combining their strengths was exciting and always gave him a good challenge. Even when they were working together though, he'd say "I bet I can score more than you!" As the years went by the spy began warming up to him, he started to be able to hold actual conversations. They became very close very quickly. It was more of an unspoken bond as no one really commented on it and Scooter never thought anything of it. They'd always be assigned to scout ahead together. Eventually the spy had to confess something. He had been the one to recommend Scoot to be a merc, along with this he was Scooter's uncle. He had no idea where Scooter's father was and he seemed just as torn about it as Scooter.
