Birthdate/Sign: October 6th/Libra
In Teen Wolf's official 2014 calendar, Scott's birthday is listed as September 16th, but in the official Teen Wolf Facebook game, his birthday is dated as October 6th. I've decided to go for the latter date (October 6th, making Scott a Libra) because I feel the strengths and weaknesses of a Libra apply to Scott more than Virgo's. For example, Scott has proven to have a sulky nature when his ex-girlfriend first breaks up with him, refusing to get out of bed until his mother forces him to. He's also shown to have a manipulative side to him, though without any malicious intent. A good example of this is when he asks for Chris Argent's help catching a couple of werewolves on a rampage, but Argent had sworn not to get involved with hunting since the death of his wife. So, Scott came up with a plan to make him drive somewhere he could see the body bag of a victim who'd been killed by the werewolves, carried into an ambulance. Scott knew this would change Argent's mind, that he wouldn't want more innocent people to die after witnessing what Scott showed him.
Scott can be very indecisive, not knowing what to do when faced with difficult situations, rarely making quick decisions. He's also proven to be overbearing while dating Allison, not wanting her to get involved in any dangerous situations, despite how capable she was, because he didn't want her to get hurt.
Regarding strengths, Scott leaving love notes inside the locker at school belonging to the girl he loves shows how much of a romantic person he is. He has very strong beliefs, like not letting anyone die and protecting the innocent people of the town he lives in. He's also cooperative, willing to work with an enemy or someone he might not see eye to eye with, pushing aside his differences if they have a common goal.
Tattoo: ♎ 2" on his chest, under his right pec.
Suitability: There's a few factors as to why I think Scott would be suitable for Ophiuchus. Scott is no stranger to sex. Back when he was in a relationship with Allison, it was fairly obvious they were sexually active since his mother found a box of condoms in his room with only one left. He's had sexual dreams, one of which included fooling around with his ex-girlfriend on a school bus (which unfortunately ended badly and turned into a nightmare where he killed her). There was also an incident where Scott had to hide with Allison in a closet and he ended up getting a boner from her standing too close to him, so Scott has no problem getting aroused thanks to teenage hormones. That isn't to say Scott would get into sexual situations with anyone he meets, but if a lack of worship meant losing his werewolf abilities (which he needs to protect people), he would worship for that reason. As well as that, Scott likes to be helpful and would feel guilty for not helping the land flourish by not worshiping. Scott has also had a lot to deal with since he became a werewolf, both mentally and emotionally, so being thrown into an unfamiliar environment is something he'd learn to deal with, just like he did with his lycanthropy.
Power: Scott will retain his werewolf abilities he's required as a True Alpha (an extremely rare case of werewolf that becomes an Alpha through strength of character, virtue and sheer force of will). As an Alpha, he's stronger when he has a pack (other werewolves that look to him as their leader who also become stronger within a pack). He also has the power (as an Alpha) to turn someone into a werewolf by biting them, but not everyone can survive a werewolf bite and Scott has shown no interest in making more werewolves (he was very against Derek doing it to teenagers). The only exception is Stiles, who Scott has hinted at being willing to turn into a werewolf, if it meant curing him from an incurable disease (which becoming a werewolf does).
Scott's werewolf transformation isn't as hairy as it sounds. He does grow some damn ugly sideburns but he hasn't mastered the ability to turn into an actual wolf, hence the weird in-between of a man and wolf appearance which gives him glowing red eyes, claws and pointed teeth. He doesn't need to shift to his werewolf form to access his powers. Particular emotions (such as anger) can cause Scott to shift involuntarily, but not as long as Scott is control, which he mostly is after his mother gave him a pep talk about being his own anchor (an "anchor" can be a person or an emotion that keeps a werewolf under control and stops them from turning).
As a werewolf, Scott's senses are heightened. He has excellent sight, he can hear people's heartbeats without a stethoscope, hear the whisper from someone at the other side of a noisy room, even listen in on people's conversations that he shouldn't be able to hear but can. His sense of smell is so strong he's busy trying not to smell everything, which makes him good for tracking. He can even smell emotions because of scents carrying emotional messages (Derek describes them as "chemosignals"). He's able to smell how scared a dead deer was after smashing its way through the windscreen of a car.
Scott possesses accelerated healing, which means he can heal himself without needing medical attention. He's experienced a gun shot wound and his best friend stab a samurai sword through him, but both times he fully recovered without even paying a visit to the hospital. He also has super speed, capable of running on all fours (which is hilarious to watch). His super agility means Scott can move as though he's had parkour training, jumping off things and somersaulting (mostly unnecessarily to look cool). Strength-wise, Scott is capable of throwing someone through a wall (as done with Derek Hale inside his derelict house) or punching his way through it.
Two more unique abilities Scott has is being able to absorb pain from animals and people, as well as being able to howl loud enough to let fellow werewolves nearby know of his whereabouts. Since Scott's abilities aren't capable of damaging the world, capping them shouldn't be necessary.
Personality:
“Scott doesn't care about power. He cares about people.”
One of the most noteworthy aspects of Scott's personality is how caring he is. He literally cares about everyone, even those who probably don't give a damn about him in return. The best example of this is when he notices a woman in pain waiting to be seen by a doctor at the hospital his mother works at. Scott makes up a lie about how he read online that human contact can help with pain and uses one of his werewolf abilities to relieve some of the pain by touching her hand. He doesn't know this woman personally, he didn't have to help her, but he couldn't stand to watch her suffer.
Scott does everything he can to help people, which is most likely the result of being raised by a mother who's a nurse. His mother tells him "if you can do something to help, then you do it, you have to" and that's a mentality Scott has and will always stick to. Scott is strongly protective of his mother, his friends and the innocent. His former classmate Jackson comes under that last category, used as a puppet to kill people, but Scott did everything to keep him alive (while everyone else wanted to kill him) because Jackson was innocent and unaware of what he was doing, despite the fact that Jackson was never particularly nice to him. While this is commendable of him, it's also a weakness of his because of how much he feels like it's his responsibility to help and protect everyone around him to the point where he's putting his own life at risk, not thinking about himself enough because of his selflessness.
Despite being an Alpha, Scott isn't at all power-hungry. He's seen Alphas treat their pack like lap dogs or a means to an end, but Scott treats his pack - his friends - with respect. The last thing he'd do is walk all over someone. He doesn't see himself on any higher level compared to anyone else; his pack are equals to him.
Scott really, really hates murder, a lot, and he hates that killing seems to be everyone's default solution to a problem. He'll try and think up any other way that doesn't involve death or violence. He does everything to try and avoid a fight, preferring to talk things over rather than use his fists. He will fight if he has no other choice, but doesn't take any pleasure in it. When fighting a werewolf who is close to being killed by the twins Aiden and Ethan, who are prone to violence, Scott stops them and says: "We're here to save a life, not end one." This isn't the first time he's let someone live despite how others might feel like exacting revenge on the person by killing them. Scott doesn't want to be a killer, despite how much he's been pressured into being one in the past. He has a very moral way of looking at things.
Regarding Scott's parents who are divorced, he has a close relationship with his mother, particularly since she found out he's a werewolf. It was somewhat strained before that because Scott's mom didn't know why he was acting so strangely (it's hard to act normal when you're a werewolf). She was also disappointed in him for falling behind in school (again, because being a werewolf was getting in the way of studying). Since she found out what he is, their relationship is a lot better, he doesn't have to lie to her anymore and she helps him and his friends now she actually knows what's going on. He's a good son to her, or tries to be at least, bringing her food at work (although one time he did it, it was a bribe to get the car keys, a bribe which didn't work). Scott listens strongly to his mother's advice on a number of occasions. His father on the other hand, Scott doesn't listen to. He even goes as far as to call him as a "gene donor" and nothing else, which pretty much sums up how terrible their relationship is. Although Scott is a kind person, he's capable of saying mean things (such as the gene donor comment) to people he dislikes.
While Scott may not be smart by Lydia Martin's standards, he can be surprisingly clever when it comes to thinking up plans. He came up with a plan against Gerard, Allison's evil grandfather, by filling his pills he was taking for his cancer with mountain ash (which blocks and displays control over werewolves and other supernatural creatures). Gerard wanted to cure his cancer by becoming a werewolf, but after getting the bite, his body rejected it because of the mountain ash. It was a plan nobody saw coming which shows how cunning Scott can be.
Scott is very loyal, especially to his best friend Stiles. Before he was bitten, it was always just the two of them since they were both unpopular and didn't have any other friends. Stiles is like a brother to him now, especially after everything they've been through since Scott became a werewolf. Stiles was the one who talked Scott out of almost killing himself when he was under the influence of wolfsbane (which caused Scott to hallucinate and push him into thinking ending his life was the only way out). Scott is very dependent on Stiles. When Stiles doesn't show up at school because he's at the hospital having tests, Scott doesn't act like himself, doesn't even hear his name called because he's so consumed in his worry over his best friend. When Stiles calls Scott in the middle of the night when he's in trouble and asks Scott not to tell his father, Scott doesn't (only until Lydia demands he does), which shows how much he'd do anything for Stiles and doesn't like breaking his promises.
Scott puts blame on himself very easily when he shouldn't. When he thinks Derek is dead, Scott takes responsibility for his "death", even though the way it happened was not directly Scott's fault. Back when Scott was a Beta werewolf, he got a wound from an Alpha that wouldn't heal because of his guilt over Derek's "death". His guilt was that severe that he almost died himself by not letting himself heal.
If there's one person who has the best classic clueless moments, it's Scott McCall. When asked where he gets his "juice" from by a classmate who thinks he's taking drugs, Scott thinks he's talking about actual juice you buy from a grocery store and tells him his mom does all the grocery shopping. Then there's the moment he accidentally ate wasabi, thinking it was guacamole, despite having eaten sushi. All in all, Scott is one of the good guys, a kind, caring teen who's grown to become a leader in his own right.
✖ SAMPLES:
"Ophiuchus" First-Person Network Entry: Asgard network entry
"Cebalrai (logs)" Third-Person Prose Entry:
The last thing Scott remembers is staring into the glowing yellow eyes of a demonic ninja, feeling the backwards number five mark it left behind his ear once his cold body hits the floor of his house, before everything fades to black.
He'd put his complete trust in what Allison told him over the phone, that the Oni wouldn't hurt him or Kira despite how threatening they looked. They were looking for someone with a dark spirit and that couldn't be Kira. He'd seen the fox-shaped aura around her and it didn't look evil. She wasn't one of the bad guys. She couldn't be.
When Scott opens his eyes again, he expects to be lying in his living room, not somewhere dark and damp and underground. Where the hell was he? And where were the others? There was no sign of Kira, Derek, the twins or his parents (one of whom was bleeding to death, but at least it wasn't his mom).
It doesn't take long for Scott to find the torn letter after checking all the pockets of what he's wearing, and he can safely say he doesn't understand a word of it. Ophiuchus? The Twelve? Just when he thought his life couldn't get any weirder and confusing, he was being thrown into another bizarre situation.
Scott reads through the letter again. For your benevolence, you have been chosen... He recognizes the word 'benevolence' from his Word of the Day app he'd downloaded to help him study for the PSATs. It meant the desire to do good and be kind to others. Scott huffs to himself. Just because he's kind, doesn't mean he's happy with being taken from his home and brought to some dank place without his best friend.
He needs answers and he's not going to get them by doing nothing. For starters, he needs to investigate where he is and find a way out, find people who understand the letter better than he does--
What was that? Scott's keen sense of hearing is picking up on something. Footsteps. It smells like he's not alone down here. He can only hope that whoever down here with him is friendly and he's not been trapped down with any Kanimas or Darachs.
Following the sounds he can hear, Scott makes his way through the tunnel, hoping there's light at the end of it.
