Physical Description and Personality:

Scott is quite muscular and well built. He has broad shoulders and a narrow waist, but is quite slim. He has blonde shaggy hair which is shorter on the sides and his fringe swept to the side. His eyes are blue and he is clean shaven.

For the most part Scott is a quiet person, he is quite happy alone, but will work with a team. He is firm and authoritative, but he also has a softer and more caring side which is seldom ever shown.

Backstory:

Scott spent his formative years living just outside of the City of Nottingham, England in a home situated comfortably between the countryside and the city.

It was evident from an early age that Scott’s relationship with his father would be a very tense one. He and his Father were much too alike when it came to temperament and attitude. Often they would irritate each other to extremes, the older the two became, the more anger-filled and dangerous the clashes would become.
Scott’s relationship with his Mother was strong, however she had unfortunately become and awkward spectator of the growing aggression between his father and himself.

To add to the irritation of his father, Scott was a rebellious child. Despite being a naturally gifted writer and poet he decided to neglect a lot of his school work meaning that when he graduated from his schooling he walked away with very poor grades.

However, Scott had a great penchant for physical activities, such as various sports, Mounting Biking and Gym Exercising.The Gym had become his favourite place to go to take out his pent-up aggression, so natural Scott was and still is a very fit and healthy young man.

A year had passed since Scott graduated from his schooling, and with that year being spent doing very little at all, Scott’s Father had had enough and kicked him out - much to his mother’s protests, however it was for the best as their relationship was broken beyond repair anyway.

Scott left his childhood home and began to make his own way in the world. Scott found he thrived in his own company, so he had no difficulty adapting to the now solo nature of his life.
However, because of his poor grades he found himself very limited for job opportunities. He quickly discovered that the only jobs within his reach were ones that relied on his brawn and his athleticism.
After a short while of looking for jobs as a manual labourer, Scott saw a Security Company with openings for a Bouncer at one of Nottingham’s more affluent Night Clubs. He promptly applied for the job and was accepted.

But it was only a couple of years into his tenure as a Bouncer that he began to find himself more and more unsatisfied with this job. He wanted something more for himself - something better.
It was at this point he decided to make something of himself. He began attending night schools in the hopes of eventually being able to join Starfleet.

After many years of hard studying and several failed applications, Scott finally achieved his ambition and was accepted into Starfleet Academy as a Security Cadet.
He looked forward to the life and adventures that awaited him.

However, during his time in the Main fleet it became clear to Scott that his unresolved childhood troubles were still causing him much distress as an Adult and it was impacting his work and social life. He found himself to be an isolationist who was crotchety and ill-tempered which led to him being lonely and disliked by his contemporaries, so he decided it would be a wise idea to take sometime away from Starfleet to hopefully heal some of the wounds of his past, which he did to some success.

Eventually he felt the time was right to get back out there and have another go, he was luckily re-admitted by Starfleet and accepted back onto a Starship.
