Character Notes:

History:

movie!Scott's history begins in high school, in the short released outside of the movie. He had just transferred into a new school, and had already gotten into an 'awesome fight' -- in his first 15 minutes of being there. This is how he befriended another new student, Lisa Miller. The two of them started a band to become cool, and Scott decided that he'd recruit Kim, the girl who he sat next to in geography class.

This is where the line between truth and lie becomes blurred. Scott also has decided that he likes her, see? And there was this guy who liked her -- a guy called Simon Lee. Now, in the animation, it shows a huge awesome fight, on a rainy day. But that's Scott lying to us in flashback. It's also a lie when it shows that he told Kim that he'd moved away.

Anyhow, the next important thing which shapes him in his history is his period dating Natalie. He met her at the University of Toronto, and the two hit it off and totally started a band. However, Scott couldn't see that she was changing and starting to enjoy the life of a rock star. As she changed both her appearance, personality, and name, Scott eventually got into a drunken argument with her, and they broke up. However, Scott repressed those memories. This is a common theme with Pilgrim, and it will really come to bite him in the proverbial ass in the future. But this is his history.

Anyhow, Scott moved in with his cool gay roommate Wallace Wells after uni, and hasn't gotten a job yet. However, he's in a band with Stephen Stills and Kim Pine. And this is where his history ends, him being pre-canon and all.

Personality:

Scott Pilgrim, at the highest level, is a video game playing slacker. He's that kid at school that nobody likes because they think they're really cool, but they're not. They're the opposite of cool. Scott doesn't seem to notice that, in conversations, or things like that. He's the sort of guy to bring up videogame references and tropes in day-to-day life. Which fits his world, even if it makes him sound like even more of a dweeb than he is. Not saying he's not a dweeb, though!

Shown by the short-related-to-the-movie, Scott Pilgrim V the animation, he's still the same sort of jerk he was in the comics, beating up poor young Simon Lee to get Kim to date him. And, implied by the scenes being simliar, he got drunk and started a fight with Envy, which caused them to break up. Thus, he is a jerk. In the movies, he still covers up his mistakes and the bad parts of his own personality, but it is harder to see. He paints himself as the hero of his own movie, not really caring about other peoples' stories. As long as he gets what he wants.

Though being 22, he still acts super-awkward in front of girls, like some kind of teenager. This is painted-over, but it's true. He's quite selfish in the way he acts -- he doesn't seem to care about other peoples' emotions, unless it helps him. This is illustrated in canon, when he starts to date Knives in the very close future, only for his own gain.

However, reading this, you might think he is a bad guy. And at the start of canon, that can be a good analysis. However, Scott does not think of himself that way, and that is reflected by what is seen in the movie. He's impulsive with his actions, and this affects a lot of people.

Other:

Though I'm taking him from the movies, I am referring to backstory canon used in the comics. It's been stated on the commentaries for the DVD that the comics backstory is still mostly canon for the characters, unless it causes conflicts with the movie.

First Person (entry type):
(I've taken a post which would be in the future, during-canon. I hope that's okay.)

Hey! If you haven't heard, I'm Scott Pilgrim, and I'm totally awesome. Anyway, my band is totally entered in the Battle of the Bands. It's gonna be pretty awesome, and stuff. If we win, there's a contract from the G-Man himself! I dunno who he is, but it'd be pretty sweet to get famous and have my name everywhere.
Anyway, it's against these guys called Crash and the Boys. Any of you heard of them? I've heard they're pretty cool... but I don't think they'll be able to beat Sex Bom-Omb. That's my band.
It's on Wednesday, at the Rockit. Hope I see you there -- we really need the votes, and stuff like that.

Third Person:
The snow fell around Scott Pilgrim, in the local park. It had been a while since he was locked out of his house -- but Wallace had his only set of spare keys. With a slight groan and shiver, Scott got to his feet, looking around. Nope... he still hadn't arrived. And it was starting to get colder. It wasn't like this cold was unusual at this time of year, mind you. But no matter how used to it Scott was, he didn't like it. Plus, he'd totally forgotten to bring his awesome jacket.

As he walked though the snow, he let out another low sigh, with the snow seemingly getting stronger. If only he had a Varia Suit or something like that. He wouldn't be chilled like this if that were the case. He could just shoot out a Plasma Beam and melt the snow, and also the front door of his house. But, of course, that was impossible. With a shudder, he got out his mobile phone. Maybe he could text Wallace.

Can we have another first person sample, please?

((OOC: As per usual with the comm, strikes would be written and then deleted. Just so you know.))

It's nearly Christmas on this community thing? But it's not even close to then on my planet. Is this place always that... weird?

But I guess I'll have to go Christmas shopping for everybody I know now. I won't even have Christmas sales to help me... but I guess ~~Wallace left his credit card out again~~ I can totally handle it. Totally. And I won't get something lame like Christmas Cards for everybody, either! As long as you've gotten me something cool, as well.

...Do I have to wait for Christmas over here for my end of the presents? Or can I open them as soon as I get them? I mean, it'd have to be Christmas in one universe, or something like that.

We're sorry, but this application has been rejected. We feel you do not have a handle on the character's voice; we would recommend paying closer attention to the manner in which he speaks, and to making his voice distinctive. Please feel free to reapply!
