PRESCOTT, scott

[attr="class","hdtitle"]PERSONALITY

[attr="class","hdinfo"]analytical ▸ almost robot-like for a human, scott is the type to break situations and people down to their smallest components in order to digest the information. judgments and actions are only executed accordingly once the process is complete.

bitter ▸ scott is resentful that he is stuck in birchwood academy despite the fact that he doesn't actually 'belong' here. scott is known for voicing his anger on this topic (and many others) every time he feels that he is slighted for whatever reason (which is often). this seems to be what usually gets him into trouble, but he remains stubborn and proud.

calculating ▸ if he doesn't think that there is a chance for him to succeed, scott will very likely withdraw his own participation in an event or any situation in general. he is cautious of his own actions and tries to steer clear of anything too 'adventurous.'

close-minded ▸ first impressions are particularly important to scott, and if he did not think positively of you when you initially met, then good luck trying to change his mind; he will very likely look down on you for a long, long time to come.

confident ▸ he knows his capabilities well and it shows through both his speech and general behaviour. he is also quite self-reliant and rarely finds the need to cooperate with others in order to achieve his goals.

disciplined ▸ he hates the idea of rule-breaking and refuses to so much as consider it even when he's in a pinch. scott is also one to tattle every time he sees rebellious acts of any kind.

honest ▸ if nothing else, (deadpan) honesty is probably his best trait. it doesn't matter who you are, he will 100% tell you his real opinion of you without sugar-coating anything. at the same time however, he is a literal-thinker when conversing with others so sarcasm tends to fly right over his head; unless he's the one delivering the sarcasm, of course.

idealistic ▸ whatever goes on in his head is usually something close to perfection, which is a big problem when trying to survive in such an environment. needless to say, scott is often hit in the face by the reality train, but that doesn't seem to stop him from attempting to achieve greatness.

meticulous ▸ an extremely careful person, scott treads along without haste and will always notice the small things that others might miss. 'slow and steady' doesn't necessarily 'win the race,' however, as scott is anything but slow. in fact, he's actually quite efficient.

pessimistic ▸ he will always take the worst consequences into consideration and usually jumps to such conclusions. he calls it being practical but, everybody knows that he's too idealistic to be truly 'practical.' pretty much convinced that he's going to end up murdered in his sleep one of these days.

prideful ▸ scott believes himself to be the best in the school (academically and behaviourally), and there is nothing you can do to make him think otherwise. and remember the fact that he's 'honest?' yeah, chances are, he will rub his booksmarts in your face whether you like it or not.

reliable ▸ as well as 'responsible.' scott can be counted on by both teachers and peers alike. well, more the former than the latter since he doesn't particularly trust his schoolmates. nonetheless, scott is quick to see a project to the end once it is assigned to him.

sardonic ▸ unless you happen to be a teacher he will probably mock you. after all, he does look down on 99% of the school's population and is always cynical of everyone else's motives.

sensitive ▸ despite the deadpan front, scott is quick to notice small details not only physically, but emotionally as well. he catches on fairly fast when someone is sick or upset though whether he actually cares is a whole different story.

sheltered ▸ due to his upbringing, scott does not at all understand the hardships that many others have faced and often fails to empathize (or even sympathize) with them. in that respect, he is probably more insensitive than anything?

studious ▸ with studying being one of his biggest hobbies, scott has trouble putting down his books. as in, he doesn't just study because he has to; he studies because he is genuinely curious about the world and hopes to understand as much of it as possible. will always choose his academic success above everything else.

unsociable ▸ unless there's something he needs to speak to them about, it is unlikely that scott will approach another. he doesn't entirely understand the point of socializing to begin with, after all, not to mention his distaste towards the general birchwood student body.

vengeful ▸ he does not easily forgive-and-forget, which is very obvious once someone has wronged him. he is the type to practically sell his soul to the devil if only for the sake of bringing his enemy down. fun fact: scott is borderline schadenfreude incarnate and seeing the suffering of someone he hates absolutely delights him.

[attr="class","hdtitle"]HISTORY/MISC.

[attr="class","hdinfo"]▸ scott douglas prescott was raised as an upper-class boy with goals; thanks to parents who expected their only son to reach for the stars and make them proud, he was constantly pressured to achieve greatness in every little thing he did. had a private tutor for every academic subject. also excelled in computers, tennis, volleyball, and the trumpet. still plays the latter as stress relief.

▸ scott attended a private k - 12 academy and was, of course, a straight-a student. he was voted as the student council president during his last year of middle school, and even became the vice president as a high school sophomore. though not the most popular guy personality-wise, scott was considered a model student to the teachers and the proud son that mom and dad could flaunt around at every party. what his parents never realized was that the pressure they'd put on scott was most likely going to backfire eventually. and, well, it did.

▸ when a video of a drunken scott was shared on the city's facebook page, his parents practically lost their minds. they asked one of scott's childhood friends to follow their son around and keep an eye on him, though what they didn't realize was that the childhood friend was also involved in some shady business. nevertheless, they eventually learned that scott was, in fact, a regular customer to a local drug dealer as well.

▸ as one of his many punishments, scott was told to bring up his declining grades during finals. under the pressure to, again, make absolutely no mistakes, he cheated for the first time in his life but was unluckily caught by a teacher. he was suspended on the spot and was, days later, expelled. as expected, his parents were absolutely livid and thoroughly disappointed.

▸ when he learned of his transference to birchwood academy, scott was almost convinced that his parents had disowned him. deeply ashamed of himself, he fell into depression and was quickly put on medication.

▸ now that he was somewhat used to birchwood, scott decided to make it his number one priority to earn back all the trust he had lost. just like before, he is keen with his studies and even keener to do so without the help of any illegal substance. he is also dead set on forming as little friendships as possible, mostly because he is guarded and refuses to trust the teens who have 'all the actual problems.' besides, he is obviously going to leave this hell hole some time this year, so what's the point of getting all chummy with a bunch of losers, anyway?

▸ not actually diagnosed as a germophobe, but scott is paranoid about germs and will clean and reorganize his work/living space on a regular basis. also has the tendency to give any bathroom available a thorough scrub down every time he is stressed out or upset. this 'disorder' of sorts stemmed from the time when he, at age nine, accidentally walked in on his older cousin doing-the-do with his girlfriend: on scott's bed, no less.
