personality:
Scott is a friendly, caring and responsible teenager. He is interested in sports, particularly lacrosse, and prior to his infection with lycanthropy had maintained a decent grade point average and held down a part time job at his local veterinary hospital. He had been a reserve on the school's lacrosse team, and had not been particularly popular, spending most of his time around his best friend Stiles. The day after his infection, he meets new student Allison Argent, and develops a near instant attraction to her. As he begins to realize what has happened to him, and fellow werewolf Derek begins to become a part of his life, Scott finds himself trying to balance all the difficulties that come with his new life as a werewolf against his school life, his friendship with Stiles, and his attempts to get closer to Allison. As a result, his grades begin to suffer and his sense of responsibility begins to be focused less on his education, and more on the immediate necessity of protecting his friends from being hurt by the Alpha werewolf, and of protecting himself from being discovered or hurt by Allison's family, a group of hunters who try to kill werewolves.
Although his heart is usually in the right place, Scott does not always make the best decisions when it comes to protecting the people he cares about. In particular, during season 1 he is often more predominantly concerned with how whatever he is involved in affects Allison, rather than focusing on his other friends. During season 2, as Allison becomes drawn more into her family's activities and Scott allies himself with Derek's pack, he finds himself having to actively choose between Allison and his friends, with the result that he seems unable to find a solution that lets him be on everyone's side at once. He also regularly finds that he's dealing with multiple problems at once, each of which are spearheaded by threats that he sees as stronger or bigger than himself. Although he instinctively wants to protect his friends, he worries that "I won't be able to protect you. I can't protect anyone" (Series 1, Co-Captain), because he recognizes that he is himself in genuine danger. Despite this, he regularly risks his own life in order to protect the people he loves, and even when he is afraid of what will happen he will still do what needs to be done.
Of all the people that he cares about, there is no one who means more to Scott than Allison. He is shown to be fixated on her from the moment he first sees her, and his relationship with her is one of the strongest influences in his life. He sees his relationship with Allison as both a strength and a weakness; she is the person he loves most, and as such his protective instincts are at their strongest around her. This means that she has a way of bringing the human side of Scott back to the surface even when his more bestial, werewolf side is in control of his body. When she is with him, he finds it easier to control his temper - and therefore to control his transformations, which are linked to strong emotions like anger. Additionally, when the alpha werewolf 'commands' Scott to kill his friends, the sound of Allison's voice brings him enough out of his trance to realize what he is doing, and he locks the door of the room his friends are in to keep them safe from him rather than attacking them. That the sound of Allison's voice could be more powerful for Scott than the command of the werewolf who infected him is notable, since the command of the alpha is supposed to be final. However, Allison is also capable of making Scott lose control, since he has been known to partially transform while engaged in sexual activity with her. His feelings towards Allison are also complicated by the fact that she is related to the hunters who kill werewolves, and that it is her family's intention that she join them in this business. Scott is wary of her family, and in general he works against them. This creates a tension between himself and Allison that becomes more pronounced in the second season, though at his current canon point Scott loves and trusts Allison as his girlfriend despite knowing the danger her family presents.
Scott also feels strong protective instincts towards his other friends; most notably Stiles, who is his most trusted and best friend, and who has known that he is a werewolf from the beginning. Stiles is arguably the only person that Scott trusts implicitly and consistently with the problems going on in his life. Stiles is regularly drawn in to Scott's problems and they generally make plans of action together. Often their plans either include or are related to Derek, a werewolf who initially serves as a teacher to Scott, and develops into a figure that is often an ally, occasionally a rival, and eventually a leader who Scott follows with some reluctance. Scott does not entirely trust Derek, though he generally listens to him and believes them to be on the same side. While he allies with and frequently takes risks to help Derek, he has been known to blame Derek for the problems surrounding them and has even used him as a scapegoat in order to prevent his other friends from finding out that he was a werewolf. Scott therefore maintains a strained friendship with Derek, but despite their differences they are generally able to work together when the need arises. His relationship with Derek is also illustrative of another part of Scott's personality; he has a tendency towards selfishness, despite his need to protect the people he cares about. When his own interests are threatened, such as when the secret of his lycanthropy is close to being revealed, he will act to preserve himself even if that means landing someone else - such as Derek, Jackson, or occasionally even Stiles - in trouble. Generally this selfishness will extend to also protecting the interests of Allison, though Scott sometimes treats even her unfairly as a result of this trait.
Part of the reason for this may be that Scott is an only child, living alone with his mother, who is divorced from his father. Scott never seems upset that his father is gone, and when his mother is asked about his feelings surrounding the divorce, she indicates that he's happy as things are. However, this means that Scott lacks a defined father figure in his life, and when his grades begin to slip, this is the first reason his teachers can think of for the downturn in his educational dedication. Although they are wrong to assume this, since the real reason for his sudden change in focus is his lycanthropy, it may help to explain why Scott feels protective towards the people he counts as friends, and dislikes the controlling male authority represented by Derek.
Scott also has a strained relationship with Jackson Whittemore, a fellow student who is his co-captain on the school lacrosse team. Scott and Jackson are rivals, though notably when he is in trouble, Scott acts to protect Jackson where possible. Despite getting angry and frustrated when Jackson initially flirts with Allison to get at him, Scott later asks Jackson to take Allison to the school dance and protect her since he is forbidden from officially attending. This shows that although Scott is easily annoyed by Jackson and generally does not behave as though he particularly likes him, he has the capability and willingness to put those feelings aside when the situation is important enough. Though Scott does not always make the right decisions, he has a serious mentality and an understanding that he cannot always rely on his instincts to make the right decision for him.
Relying on reason rather than instinct is, however, difficult for Scott. His werewolf transformations are linked to his emotions, and as a werewolf his bestial instincts become much stronger. Scott can only maintain control of himself by controlling his emotions, and in particular by controlling his anger. This is something which is shown to be consistently difficult for him, though it is also shown to be easier when he is around Allison. It is at its most difficult during the full moon, which has a powerful affect on Scott. It brings his more bestial nature to the surface even when he is in his human form; he gets angry, lustful and competitive and finds it very difficult to control these urges. With more time and practice he should be able to improve his control on the full moon, but at present it has a powerful effect on his personality, making him more prone to act on his more selfish, aggressive instincts with less consideration of how his actions affect others. This change happens during the day directly before the full moon, and after transforming he will behave normally again.
abilities/powers: Scott has all the skills and abilities of an average beta werewolf in his universe. This means that his body is able to transform into a creature with distinctly wolf-like characteristics. His irises turn yellow, additional hair grows over his face and hands, his nails shift into claws, and his teeth become fangs. This transformation is at first involuntary, and is linked to Scott's more primal emotions - in particular, it is brought on when he is angry, lustful, or afraid. Anger is the strongest trigger for the change, meaning that Scott needs to quickly learn how to control his temper in order to stop himself from shifting against his will. In time, he mostly learns to control the change and is able to shift into a werewolf at will.
The change to Scott's looks is not the only way his condition affects him. After being infected with lycanthropy, he finds that he has been physically changed in a number of ways; his constitution has improved, and the asthma he'd suffered with all his life has disappeared. Though he had previously been only a reserve on the school lacrosse team, he suddenly finds that he has become their best player; he is faster, stronger, and considerably more agile than any of his teammates. He is able to perform somersaults and jumps that he was never trained for, and is able to knock others off their feet with minimal effort. When he gets particularly competitive or angry, he becomes even stronger and more focused, able to make seemingly impossible shots with incredible accuracy. His senses have also been enhanced; while in wolf form, he sees not in color but through a type of red-tinged haze which seems to help him focus on whatever target he is aiming for. His sense of smell is more acute, allowing him to track people by scent, and his hearing becomes extremely accurate. He is able to hear a person's heart beating in their chest, and can both recognize them by the sound of the beat, and hear changes in speed that indicated whether the person is angry or afraid. His hearing is powerful enough that he can hear a person talking to him in a low voice, even when they are separated by an entire room full of other people talking and laughing. In addition, he heals extremely quickly - superficial injuries such as cuts, bruises and even deeper wounds will heal rapidly and visibly, and broken bones will heal in a matter of moments. This means that injuries that could prove fatal to a human, such as stabbing or shooting, would not be fatal to him. He can, however, still be killed with ordinary weapons so long as they are able to strike a killing blow.
Scott's enhanced strength and reflexes make him less vulnerable than an ordinary human. His lycanthropy also brings with it a number of notable weaknesses; for example, all werewolves are fatally allergic to the Wolfsbane plant, and will die if they have enough exposure to it. Additionally, the same elements that make him stronger and more powerful as a werewolf also make him, from another perspective, more weak. Just as his transformations are linked to base emotions such as anger and lust, so are those emotions linked to the transformations. Scott as a werewolf is far more volatile and instinct-driven than he is as a human, because he is motivated by predatory, animal instincts that make him want to compete, fight, bite and kill. His human capability to think, reason and rationalize his behavior becomes less prominent, making him potentially dangerous even to people he cares about. In order to mitigate this, he needs to learn to control his emotions and thereby control his transformations. How easy this is for him to do depends on the situation. Under normal circumstances, he is generally able to stay in control; however, this becomes much more difficult if he is exceptionally angry, and is even more difficult on the full moon. As with all werewolves, Scott has no choice about turning on the full moon. He will transform as soon as the light of the moon hits him, whether he wants to or not. On the full moon he is less in control of himself than at other times, and has been known to lock himself up for the duration in case he hurts someone by accident. Because of this, he is at his most dangerous on the full moon, and keeping control of the werewolf form is extremely difficult for him during this time.
first person sample:
So, I've been here a while now, and I still can't figure it out. I have to ask all of you - how are you not all bored out of your minds?
[ Scott lets that question hang in the air of a second, as if he's expecting an instant answer. Then he goes on. ]
I mean, I'm not complaining about the part where there's no school, and no one has a job here so suddenly I have all this free time, and believe me that's something I wouldn't mind more of at home. But see, you don't have that stuff...and you also don't have music, or lacrosse, or even bowling. Seriously, bowling would be great right now.
[ He glances away from the camera, a different expression briefly coloring his features. He's worried, and restless. It'd feel better if he could distract himself, somehow. Free time was a curse all by himself. Maybe he's just that unused to having it that he can't deal with it now. He looks back, an uncertain smile flickering over his face. ]
Anyway, that's beside the point. Mostly I want to know if anyone's up for a game. Equipment's a thing we don't have, so lacrosse is out, but we could maybe manage soccer? Come on guys, don't leave me hanging - I can't be the only one tired of waiting for the next fight to happen. Any takers?

[[ Also, here is a Dear Mun post to show more of his voice. ]]
third person sample:
Scott was standing in the middle of a room lined with squareish, metal doors, most of which were closed. One had been severely dented and thrown open, where it now hung sadly from one hinge. The dent in the middle was strange, looking around the right size to fit a human hand, but only if that hand was supplemented by a set of sharp, angular claws. Claws that were powerful enough to drive through metal. Because that was totally common and not unusual at all, and oh shit, he was completely screwed.
Scott knew this room. Well, kind of. Anyone who'd ever spent a lot of time in a hospital, or even watched a couple episodes of a regular medical drama would know what this room was. A morgue. A big, stinking, horrible morgue, which by the way was freezing, and for some reason Scott had woken up inside one of the drawers. He'd also had a tag around his toe, and he'd been naked, which didn't actually help with the cold. Oh man. Oh, man, where was he? And more importantly, how had he gotten here? Had he been attacked? Was Allison okay?
Allison. The last thing he remembered was sitting on top of her roof, holding her. They'd barely even talked because they hadn't needed to. So much had changed in such a short time. She'd found out he was a werewolf. Her aunt had died. The Alpha had died. Somehow, she didn't hate him. He was the happiest he'd been in a long time. He loved her, and she loved him, and sure, her family weren't going to like that, but for now they had some peace. It had been nice.
And now he was in a morgue. God. Okay, maybe it was a joke. Some kind of weird, not-really-hitting-the-mark joke that Stiles was playing on him. Or his mom. Except that his mom wouldn't do that, and while he wouldn't put it past Stiles, that didn't feel right either. Mostly because this didn't look like the hospital in Beacon Hills, where his mom worked and which he could find his way around with his eyes closed. He'd already gone out into the corridors to look around, and when he couldn't find any part of the hospital that he recognized, he'd come back in here. Not that being in here was helpful at all. The only thing in this room other than him and the drawer door he'd broken was the weird phone he'd woken up with. It wasn't Scott's phone, and he didn't know what to do with it, so he'd left it. Now, though, he lifted it and looked at it again. He still couldn't find any numbers listed, and when he tried to call Stiles, the thing just wouldn't respond.
"Come on. Come on!" He bashed the phone against the wall, then looked at it again as if hitting it would have made it work for him. Naturally, it didn't. All he saw was the same thing he'd seen before; a series of apparently random videos, texts and call logs that the phone's owner must have somehow saved on here. Why would anyone do that? And why didn't any of those logs give him a clue of whose phone this was? It was like the people talking weren't talking to the same person at all. They seemed to be talking to multiple people. Scott groaned and rubbed his eyes. This was a nightmare.
Where was he? Why was it so cold? Why was he stuck here, wearing a sterile sheet around his waist like the world's worst attempt at towel chic, and why was he the only one here?! With a growl that was almost feral, he turned to slam his fist into the wall of morgue drawers. Another door dented, this time having been forced inwards. Scott's eyes fixed on it, and withdrew his hand to find that it had transformed again. With an unsteady breath, he shut his eyes, and made himself shift back to human. No. He could do this. Whatever was going on, he just needed to get back to Allison and Stiles. If he was going to do that, he needed to think, and he couldn't think if all he was doing was going around and hitting things. A shudder went through his body and he opened his eyes.
"Okay. Got it. You've got this. Let's go."
He pushed away from the wall, walking for the door again. He got halfway there, and then on sudden impulse he turned back and grabbed the phone after all. Maybe it couldn't call Stiles, but it was literally the only thing he had, not counting his sheet-towel. He was going to get out of here and find out what was happening. This was no time to get angry.
No. That emotion, he'd save for when he found out who'd locked him in the stupid drawer. He walked on, fist clenched tightly around the phone as he moved.
case no: No preference - I'm happy for it to be randomized!

And now he was in a morgue. God. Okay, maybe it was a joke. Some kind of weird, not-really-hitting-the-mark joke that Stiles was playing on him. Or his mom. Except that his mom wouldn't do that, and while he wouldn't put it past Stiles, that didn't feel right either. Mostly because this didn't look like the hospital in Beacon Hills, where his mom worked and which he could find his way around with his eyes closed. He'd already gone out into the corridors to look around, and when he couldn't find any part of the hospital that he recognized, he'd come back in here. Not that being in here was helpful at all. The only thing in this room other than him and the drawer door he'd broken was the weird phone he'd woken up with. It wasn't Scott's phone, and he didn't know what to do with it, so he'd left it. Now, though, he lifted it and looked at it again. He still couldn't find any numbers listed, and when he tried to call Stiles, the thing just wouldn't respond.
"Come on. Come on!" He bashed the phone against the wall, then looked at it again as if hitting it would have made it work for him. Naturally, it didn't. All he saw was the same thing he'd seen before; a series of apparently random videos, texts and call logs that the phone's owner must have somehow saved on here. Why would anyone do that? And why didn't any of those logs give him a clue of whose phone this was? It was like the people talking weren't talking to the same person at all. They seemed to be talking to multiple people. Scott groaned and rubbed his eyes. This was a nightmare.
Where was he? Why was it so cold? Why was he stuck here, wearing a sterile sheet around his waist like the world's worst attempt at towel chic, and why was he the only one here?! With a growl that was almost feral, he turned to slam his fist into the wall of morgue drawers. Another door dented, this time having been forced inwards. Scott's eyes fixed on it, and withdrew his hand to find that it had transformed again. With an unsteady breath, he shut his eyes, and made himself shift back to human. No. He could do this. Whatever was going on, he just needed to get back to Allison and Stiles. If he was going to do that, he needed to think, and he couldn't think if all he was doing was going around and hitting things. A shudder went through his body and he opened his eyes.
"Okay. Got it. You've got this. Let's go."
He pushed away from the wall, walking for the door again. He got halfway there, and then on sudden impulse he turned back and grabbed the phone after all. Maybe it couldn't call Stiles, but it was literally the only thing he had, not counting his sheet-towel. He was going to get out of here and find out what was happening. This was no time to get angry.
No. That emotion, he'd save for when he found out who'd locked him in the stupid drawer. He walked on, fist clenched tightly around the phone as he moved.
case no: No preference - I'm happy for it to be randomized!
