Hobbies:

Bug collecting -- Scott has always had a fascination with the tiny critters, more so than any young man SHOULD have with them. Sure, every boy got his jollies out of finding a huge beetle or even a cockroach and picking it up to show off to girls, but Scott never really seemed to grow out of that stage in his life. So, in his free time, he will capture and collect bugs of various colors and sizes, taking pictures or sketching a quick doodle in his spiral-bound notebook that he carries with him everywhere. The creepy crawlies hardly bother him, even if they bite or sting, though he has caused a few panicked shrieks when one of his little friends escape from his book sack during class. However, as much as he loves and is fascinated by bugs, he will not think twice about ending one’s existence should they sting or bite him. After all, there are a million more bugs out there for him to collect. When asked why he collects bugs (after the girls and some screamish boys stop panicking, that is), he always felt that they were keen for studying. How could there be so many different bugs and how they could outnumber humans so greatly, yet they weren't the ones ruling the world? Also because a lot of them look too cool to NOT put in a jar, even if only for a little while. At least there, they'd be safe... or you'd think, if people would stop trying to stomp on them.

PE Junky -- PE as in Physical Education, which people would actually scoff at if they saw him in PE shorts. He may have a scrawny frame, but he’s lithe, flexible, and most of all, extremely fast on his feet and hard to hit. He may not do well in taking tackles at football, but once he has the ball, he runs with it. Fast. PE is his favorite class in school, probably due to the fact that he gets to be outside and close to bugs, but also because it gives him an outlet and a chance to feel useful in a group. Despite how thin he may appear, he’s usually the first one picked for any team, likely due to his enthusiasm and flexibility makes him extremely useful in avoiding hits in dodgeball or trying to tackle him to get the football. Not that he ever gets credit for winning the game, but so long as he feels useful, he’s as happy as can be. Outside of class, Scott can get a little stir crazy if he's not out jogging or exercising, so he'll often get to the gym or courtyard, or even run a few laps around the park, no matter what time of day it may be.

It’s a B Movie Show -- When he’s not collecting bugs (and freaking girls out) or dodging a volley of balls in dodgeball, Scott has a third secret passion in his life, and that’s indulging himself in science fiction B movies. We’re not talking about the mainstream scifi movies, but the made-for-tv movies or straight to DVD sequels that clutter the stores in mass in the bargain bin. He knows that they’re terrible and cheaply made, but he can’t help but get all giddy at the sight of poorly CGI’d ants storming through the city. He would even dare say that some of the bad B sci fi movies were better than the mainstream movies they were based off, and he will likely pick a fight to defend that stance. That’s not to say he won’t go see the occasional mainstream sci fi movie, however... though he is sure to find at least three cheap, made for movie rip offs with a simple search of the internet. This indulgent, however, is one that he is most ashamed of, and this coming from a guy that openly collects bugs and takes light jogs in the hailing rain, and he will go to extreme lengths to prevent others from knowing this closet hobby... unless they're totally into that sort of thing, in which he might share his opinion on, though he'll likely pretend he's not really THAT into it.

Virtues:

Yes, My Queen! -- If there is one thing to be said about Scott is that once he has found a leader (or even a friend) to latch onto, he will be nothing but unimaginably loyal to that person or cause. He may not have many friends, but the ones he’s had are ones that will stick, and he will go out of his way to help them out, whether it be to do their homework or book report for them, swatting away a bee or wasp from them when they’re being chased, or even getting messed up in a fight to defend their honor. He would go anywhere, do anything for his friends or whomever he deems the leader.

Diligent Worker -- From a young age, Scott was expected to remain busy and do his chores or any kind of work put before him without being told, and while he’s still working on the ‘without being told’ part, once he sets himself on a task, he will stick with it until it is done. No matter how much physical labor may be involved with the task or how stressful it will be and how much he’ll regret it later, he will stick with the task until it’s done. Whether it’s done right or not is not up for debate, but no one can deny the fact that he will get the task done.

For the Glory of the Colony! -- Scott is a very sociable guy, even if he’s not the most popular outside of Physical Education, and maybe it was his upbringing with his five other brothers that’s helped to make him this way, but when it comes to working in a team, Scott will always get into the groove of teamwork, so long as he doesn’t take the leading role. Of course, he’ll likely do the bulk of the work and he’ll grumble about it (behind their backs), but so long as he’s part of a team and feels useful, then Scott can deal with it. He knows that while he may be taken advantage of by others, he’s valuable to the team, and that if he fails, then he will likely take everyone down with him. And so do they.


Flaws:

You Better Be Steppin’ Off! -- You’d never guess it with how sociable and outgoing he is, but Scott carries with him a short fuse, one that is likely to be lit unbeknownst to others and often blows up before anyone has the chance to talk their way out of it. What exactly is the trigger- stress? Tired of the constant abuse that has exposed a nerve? Or maybe he’s just needing a better outlet and has the urge to strike whoever crosses him and goes LOOKING for a reason to be confrontational, even if he has to make one up. He tries to get along with everyone he meets, but if you cross him or anger him, he will not think twice to return the favor with vigor. Most of the time his confrontational nature is verbal, but he will respond with force if need be.

Defeatist with a Vendetta -- Though he is loyal and confrontational, he is usually going into a fight or situation with the fear of the inevitable failure. It doesn’t stop him from his task, but it will likely affect the outcome and he will always be the first to point out the flaws, before anyone has the chance to point them out themselves. When he’s feeling the pressure of a school project or task and he knows he’s being taken advantage of, he will take a more pessimistic approach and he will purposefully sabotage his own work, getting it done but not getting it as perfect as it would have been if he simply had a little help along the way. But, at least the others’ grades will suffer along with it. This defeatist mindset will often hold him back from doing his absolute best, especially if there is nothing in it for him. If things turn out better than expected, then Scott will get a good laugh out of how silly he looked (after drowning himself in a rigorous exercise routine to blow off some steam). If it goes to hell, then going in with the defeatist attitude usually dulls the sting, but he will still likely be kicking himself in the butt later on for not trying harder and letting his team down.

Hive-mind Mentality -- Scott gets along well with others, so well that he hardly feels like he is an individual (well, until he’s stuck doing all the work! Then he has a NAME all of a sudden!). In fact, he almost feels as though he is nothing more than a drone, programmed to do certain tasks and never truly rising above the others. And for the most part, he’s content with that, but there are times where he’d like someone to call him just to talk about a really bad movie they watched and NOT to write an extra book report for them. He is so ridiculously loyal to others that he really doesn’t do well on his own, and he will likely either mimic another person’s actions or simply stand there and WAIT for someone to tell him what to do. If someone is not there to pull him along or tell him what to do, he lacks initiative, and while that makes him a great soldier/worker, it doesn’t help him feel like he’s something more.

A MILLION thanks for the critique, Kyu! Sorry it took so long to get it done, but here it is!

Because I completely forgot to mention it in the first place, he's going in for Corrupt alignment, so if anything needs to change there, let me know.

For clarification on the difference between bees and wasps is that most bees, like honey bees, die upon stinging their victim, whereas wasps will continue to sting, sometimes multiple times! Hence why in the first attack, once the energy stings the opponent, it'll disappear, whereas in the next attacks, the energy will remain on the flesh and continue to sting throughout the duration. Does that clarify things or do I need to find a way to word it better?

I also put a specific number of wasp-shaped energy in the swarm. For the first two stages, it's 20, and in the eternal form, it's 30. I know that might seem like a lot, but they're really small. If I need to reduce or enlarge the number, let me know.

As for his civilian details, I took into consideration what you've said and tweaked around those areas, so give them a look and let me know what would need to be tweaked further.

Thank you again!

Alright, third time's a charm I hope! Editted the upgrades to parts of the attacks so he's more fair; I wasn't sure about bumping out the Super attack to 40 seconds, though, so I just left that the same. Everything else, such as the amount of times he can use it in a battle, duration in the basic and Eternal form, and the ability to penetrate clothing in the Eternal have been modified.

Again, thanks a million!

This is ready to stamp other then one tiny edit that I think got looked over. heart

In the first attack one section says it lasts 10 seconds and another says 5 seconds. As soon as you change that 5 to a 10 let me know and I'll stamp you right up!
