Description
Scamp has been getting into trouble from the moment he was able to stumble around on his own two feet. Between him and his twin sister, Danielle looked like a golden child in comparison to his antics. There was always a certain pressure from both their parents and grandparents to hold up an appearance of being a perfect family, and Scamp always seemed to ruin that. He was clumsy, obnoxious, messy, and hated following rules. He played rough and always got scolded for anything he did. He always felt like the black sheep of the family, even though he knew deep down that in some ways, Ellie was similar to him. She had a wild side to her too, but she just seemed to know exactly what to say and do to make their parents happy. Scamp didnāt get it ā he felt so disconnected from their parents, as if they didnāt love him for who he was and wished he were different. Just like they made Ellie to be someone she wasnāt, Scamp refused to let them change him, too. He was constantly defiant and unapologetically himself, and it worsened as the teenage years rolled around. It didnāt help that his childhood best friend, Dodger, encouraged Scampās rebellious attitude, and it was even he who gave Scamp the idea to eventually leave his family.
Dodger left while the twins were still in high school, and Scamp had only declined the offer to join Dodge because of Ellie. Despite their differences, they were still close, and so Scamp trudged through the rest of high school with his twin, but without his best friend around. Both Ellie and Scamp were pressured by their family to go to college after high school, and despite having no clue what they were doing (and Scamp having awful grades), they went in together with undecided majors. College put more pressure on Scamp than ever, and he knew it wasnāt for him from the very beginning. It pissed him off too, how Ellie didnāt get pestered about deciding a major as much as Scamp did, likely because she kept her grades much better than he did so there were fewer eyes on her.Ā
One night, Scamp and their father got into a huge argument. What started as a fight about Scamp not taking college seriously, eventually turned to Scamp pointing out how he had no freedom to decide what he wanted to do with his life. This quickly led him to decide that it was time to finally leave. Still bitter at Ellie for things out of her control and sick of the rest of his family, he packed his things and left without even a note, dropping out of school and never looking back. Scamp had heard Dodger talk about Buster when he ran away and even spotted his gang a couple of times, so it wasnāt that hard to find them again once he was on his own. Unsure if Dodger would even still be around, it was still his only lead and thatās where he went.
Scamp didnāt find Dodger right away, but he did stay with Buster for a while. He didnāt fit in with their gang at all at first, but he learned a lot from Buster and was too naive to notice how controlling he was in the beginning. Buster even taught Scamp how to work on cars, and for the first time, Scamp felt like he was seen for his strengths and not for his mistakes. Unfortunately, Scamp eventually understood why Dodger and Angel didnāt stick around. Not only was Buster controlling and crazy, but he began treating Scamp very differently once he made the connection that Scamp was Scott Trampās son; apparently there was some history there. Scamp soon did the same as Angel and Dodge and took off too, reconnecting with Dodger after being on his own for a few days and even reaching out to Ellie to let her know he was okay. He moved in with Dodge and his pack of friends in their apartment and continued to keep in touch with his twin sister, but it was a while before they saw each other again in person. Scamp was surprised when Danielle showed up to his work one day with her Mini Cooper asking for car advice, although she was only stalling ā eventually, she admitted that she was moving away from their family too, and came to be closer to him again. Scamp hadnāt realized until then how much he hurt Ellie by being away for so long, so now heās working hard trying to make it up to her and be a better brother.
Headcanons
Scamp and their dad always fought and butted heads. Everyone always compared them constantly, right down to him being named after his dad, and Scamp resented it. Even if there were stories of his dad being rebellious back in his youth or whatever, Scamp still refused to believe they were anything alike. The irony was that the more that Scamp rebelled, the more he truly was like his dad.
He hates going by Scott since itās his dadās name
The clumsiest motherfucker youāll ever meet. Can often be found with untied shoelacesĀ
Heās also not much of a smooth talker, even though he tries to be. Heās not had much luck with dating, though heās been interested in one girl in particular for a while now. He and Angel have crossed paths multiple times throughout the years and sheās always caught his eye, but something about timing between them sucks. Between Buster and Dodger being with Angel the chances Scamp could have had, the last thing he wanted to do was shoot his shot and piss either of them off. Now that Angel is working with his sister at the casino though, heās hoping he can finally get his chance.Ā
He did secretly have a fling with Ellieās best friend, Violet, after a drunk hook-up together. They both were obviously interested in other people, but were unable to act on those feelings ā it was easier back then to be a distraction to each other than to face realityĀ
He was diagnosed with ADHD in elementary school and is medicated for it, though he isnāt great at remembering to take his meds (his mom was the one who reminded him most of the time)
Now that he realizes he's skilled with cars, he actually sees a future for himself. For now, heās just working at a nearby mechanic shop, but he hopes to one day run a place of his own. Heās mentioned the idea to Dodger in hopes that heād go in on it with him, but he isnāt sure Dodge would commit
Part of being a better brother to Ellie is making sure sheās staying out of trouble, and he canāt help but feel like sheās acting out because heās being protective. He knows he canāt even be annoyed about it because heās the same way, and he knows if he tries to call her out, sheāll call him a hypocrite
ESFP
