His father was an air force pilot, so they traveled and moved around often. This all changed when Scott was 16. When his family was returning home a vacation in Christopher’s small, private plane, a mysterious accident led to the deaths of both parents. Scott’s memories of the event are hazy, but he remembers his father pushing both him and his brother out of the plane with parachutes, before the craft was engulfed in flame.<br/><br/>A head injury sustained during the fall led to some minor brain damage, which prevents Scott from having any sort of control over his optic blasts. He was left in a coma after the fall, which lasted for two years. During this time, his brother Alex was moved along in to the adoption system, and Scott hasn’t seen him since. He awoke to visions of a bird wreathed in fire, and a sudden uncontrolled display of his powers almost completely destroyed the hospital he was staying in, an event that traumatizes him and wracks him with guilt to this day. Naturally, the event drew the attention of SHIELD, who took him in to custody swiftly.<br/><br/>Essentially blind for some time, Scott was subjected to batteries of tests and examinations. Eventually, the mega-brains affiliated with SHIELD managed to create the ruby-quartz lenses which allow him to suppress his powers, giving him some semblance of control. Finally deemed at least marginally safe for other people to be around, Scott was moved to the A.C.E. to further hone his abilities with others of his kind. Intense discipline was necessary at all times, as the slightest slip-up with his glasses or visor could lead to immense destruction. Fortunately, he was in the right place to learn it.<br/><br/>After becoming the second student at the Academy, Scott began to train tirelessly, in part to make up for his past mistakes. The events at the hospital still weigh heavily upon him, and he knows how hard he needs to work to prevent this from happening again. After the loss of his real family, he has settled in well at the SHIELD facility, and thinks of the other students there, as well as the staff, as his new family. A strict family, with lots of protocols and regulations, perhaps, but, his loyalty to them is exemplary.<br/><br/><br/><strong>PERSONALITY:</strong>Scott is charismatic and charming, though often too serious. He has a sense of humor, but his sense of duty and dedication to his cause often get in the way. A natural leader and excellent motivator, he is skilled at speaking to others. Calculating and methodical, he has a strong strategic mind, and is often planning several steps ahead.<br/><br/>He is loyal and determined to a fault, though fears intimacy due to the destructive and uncontrollable nature of his powers.<br/><br/><br/><strong>EQUIPMENT:</strong>Ruby-Quartz glasses, and a visor for combat. The visor contains a trigger mechanism for control, but controls are also wired in to his 'costume'.<br/><strong>CHARACTER O/O's:</strong>Scott has little experience, due to fear of incinerating the faces of his partners. He never went very far with any girls he knew before the accident.<br/><strong>PLAYER O/O's:</strong>Linked in signature<br/><strong>NOTES:</strong><br/><br/>
