Appearance[]
Epic Scout appears as a BLU Scout wearing a Mannish Boy and a Pilgrim Pants without hand wraps. Unlike most Scouts, he doesn't wear a headset and uses a Pretty Boy's Pocket Pistol and a regular pistol as his main weapons.
Biography[]
The Epic Scout used to be a regular BLU Scout, part of a BLU team whose members were complete idiots (minus him). One day on Watchtower, his team was killed (because of their own stupidity) by RED, and he was thrown from a window, shot in the right leg by the RED sniper and shot in the abdomen by the RED Spy who previously tricked him by disguising as the BLU Medic.
While he was starting to die on the ground, a RED Scout broke the rum bottle of a RED Demoman on top of Epic Scout, and then threw his Bonk can on him before leaving. When the Epic Scout lost consciousness, the rum and the Bonk collided and combined, healing him completely and giving him his powers. When he opened his eyes, he directly proceeded to kill each and every one of the RED team effortlessly.
Later, he joined a new BLU team on Sawmill and was of great reputation. However, one day while he was killing several RED mercenaries, he encountered the Rabid Heavy, who was finishing off a BLU Pyro. the feral Heavy monster then attacked a BLU Spy who was invisible. Just as the Rabid Heavy was about to finish him off, the Epic Scout shot him in the head which bought enough time for the BLU Spy to flee to safety. The two had a brief battle and the Epic Scout was about to kill the Rabid Heavy with a Machina. However, before he could give him a clear shot, the monster's owner The Rabid Heavy Taming Engineer, stepped in to intervene and shot the Epic Scout's right hand. After a long and ferocious battle with the pair and being severely hurt, the Epic Scout was about to die in a fire, which was caused from an explosion from a gas tank,. however, he was saved by the same BLU Spy that he had saved from the Rabid Heavy. After regaining consciousness, but still weakened, he looked over at a window, plotting his revenge.
However, unbeknownst to the Epic Scout, he is being hunted down by a unnamed organization, who wanted to brutalize and kill the Scout Freak in revenge for killing Agent 35, the same RED Spy he killed in Watchtower.
Behavior and Personality[]
After getting his powers, The Epic Scout became completely fearless. He isn't afraid to fight strong or many opponents at the same time, even alone, and seems to sometimes take care of everything on his own.
He also seems to have become someone rather cold, even toward his own teammates and even completely ignored a thumbs up from a BLU Spy who was just being nice to him. That didn't stopped the Epic Scout from saving him from the Rabid Heavy, who was about to finish the Spy off. He is also shown respecting the spy who later saved him when he regains consciousness.
Powers and Abilities[]
- Epic Scout is known for his incredible agility allowing him to perform great dodges and jumps.
- He also have incredible reflexes. For example, he has dodged minigun fire, sentry gun fire and shots from a RED Spy simultaneously.
- He's also known to having incredible speed, with him moving faster than the eye can track. He also uses his speed to disarm his opponents or to take them by surprise.
- Epic Scout possesses great strength in both of his legs. For example, he completely stopped a charging Demoknight's momentum and sent him flying in a different direction with a single kick, kicked a Bushwacka so hard it decapitated a Pyro, deflected a rocket from a Soldier just by kicking it and also managed to kick a broken Razorback hard enough to jam a Heavy's minigun on top of a cliff.
- He prefers to use two pistols for fights, but he is capable of using whatever weapons he finds on a battlefield, with surprising skill and finesse.
Faults and Weaknesses[]
- Despite his great abilities, he still has the same durability as a regular Scout. Thus, he may be easily injured by anyone.
- The more hurt he is, the more he'll slow down, thus making him an easy target.
- Scout's fighting style mainly utilizes kicks, most of which leave him airborne, meaning that skilled brawlers can catch his legs and perform a takedown on him.
- If his legs were to be broken, it would make him completely unable to fight.
- Scout's tendency to constantly keep himself airborne often leads to him being predictable in his movements. The Rabid Heavy took advantage of this and bounced himself off a plank stack to hit scout in mid-air.
- Although Scout is extremely dexterous, The Rabid Taming Engineer had caused him to be disoriented after multiple shots towards Scout had caused him to flip in the air multiple times to avoid being shot. Scout also tossed his head to avoid a ricochet shot fired by the Engineer, which left him open to an uppercut by the Rabid Heavy, showing he cannot dodge another attack in the middle of dodging the first.
