Scout
The Scout is one of the player characters in Team Fortress 2.
A snarky mercenary from Boston, he uses his speed to get up close to his enemies and take them out with a couple well-placed shots of his scattergun and pistol, or rapid hits of his baseball bat. The most arrogant and foul-mouthed out of all of the TF2 mercs, the Scout loves to taunt and mock his enemies. In spite of his arrogant and often annoying behavior, he is strongly sympathetic and supportive towards his teammates.
Despite not having the best track record among the elite contestants in King of /v/, Scout is quite notorious for his continous campaign efforts through the years, being particularly notable as a fan-favorite for his role-playing posts and even having played a central role across several storylines.
Tournament History[edit]
Scout's debut was in 2019, alongside fellow TF2 mercenary the Heavy, and both were doing fairly well, however Scout ended up losing in round 4 to Duke Nukem while Heavy made it to Elite Eight.
Scout wouldn't let this get him down however, as he came back in 2020 with a high seed and a great campaign, managing to narrowly beat out dark horse "Fuhrer" and Regigigas, earning him a spot in the Elite Eight. In the quarter-finals, Scout was eliminated by eventual champion Dante, and later placed 8th in the 5th-8th consolation match.
2022 seemed to be Scout's year, as he quickly became a fan-favorite due to his campaign, consisting of him teaming up with other Scouts (except BLU Scout), taking N's hat and hair after beating him in round 1, an AMV set to a Getter Robo OP, and even a full blown RPGMaker game [1]. Unfortunately for Scout, his run would be cut short, as he was eliminated by the much more quiet Solid Snake in a very controversial round 3.
In 2023 Scout would notoriously become a much darker figure; starting by beating the shit out of Reimu after she and Dante plotted to rig the polls, the mercenary would become increasingly mentally disturbed throughout the threads, largely driven by his obsession over Marisa who he would fight to take from John Ward. With each round he would go on psychopathic episodes in which he would stalk and murder his opponents, as well as many other candidates whose disappearances were linked to Scout, all the while going on a series of schizophrenic rants. Scout also exacted retribution on Battler by abducting and raping his cousin Jessica. Because of his descent into madness, he was admitted into Team Schizo, which would result in him becoming one of Grimm's allies after his defeat to the Black Souls protagonist in the Quarterfinals round. Scout would then go on to claim 5th place in the consolation match due to the infamy of his schizo arc.
Scout won't be eligible for another King of /v/ tournament again until his appointed release from the mental ward in 2025. Maybe he will reunite with Marisa one of these days.
