There is nothing on this website (or anywhere for that matter) about Scooter so please may I have some headcanons for my favourite space cowboy? 🥺
You most certainly can. Scooter is an funny case as he's a fan favorite, yet there's so little content for him. Which, I'm here to do something about it.
Random and domestic headcanons for Scooter.
-Scooter as most will depict him is larger than life person.
-He will do everything with 110% motivation and effort. This usually leads him getting into some trouble but that won't dim his motivation. (Or brighten his sense of danger.)
-He has no idea when's appropriate to say something and when isn't. This often leads to some embarrassing situations.
"Holy, moley you're hot. Hot like skag turd under the sun."
"Thanks? I'm not sure, how to take that."
-It's not rare to hear an explosion going off in Scooter's garage as he's almost always trying to make the engines more kick-ass.
-When he's not tinkering with cars and engines it's save to assume he's at Moxxi's eating.
-He loves the food his mama makes for him. He will eat like a horse. It's still shocking to many how much he can eat.
-Brick once decided to challenge Scooter to an eating competition. Scooter won unsurprisingly. Mordecai and Lilith had to drag him to Zed's place to get him something to ease the pain.
-Scooter may seem like blabber mouth, but surprisingly he can keep an secret. If, others have told him something confidential, they can trust for Scooter to not say anything.
-Despite him being usually dirty, he enjoys a good shower. It's a nice feeling for him to rub off the grease from his hands.
-The cap he wears was an birthday gift from Moxxi,. It was their first year away from the Nomads, as well. He has had Ellie fix it many times for him, so he's gotten extremely attached to it.
-When Ellie moved away Scooter felt bad about it. He didn't mean, it that way. If, she had just said something about it, he would've kept respectful boundaries.
-Scooter isn't as good as a driver as he's a mechanic. He can drive the vehicle, yes but that one time he attended an race, he lost. And the Outrunner got completely wrecked.
-This is the main reason he's searching for an driver to compete in the races. As it would bring more publicity to Catch-a-ride and his creations would get to be used to their fullest potential.
-Scooter's handwriting is bad. Like, the doctor kind bad. Everyone is surprised that he can actually read it. Or that he's coming up with it on the spot.
-Scooter had some trouble when starting off Catch-a-ride. Not, only Pandora isn't the easiest place to start an company but psychos stopped him from setting up the first Catch-a-ride station. But, once he got things rolling it became easier and easier to make new stations.
-Scooter isn't as busy as you'd expect him to be. Despite, him being owner of Catch-a-ride he barely does any of the paperwork. He hired an assistant early on to do them for him. Moxxi will also occasionally help him with them, when she's not too busy with her own business.
-Scooter is protective of his friend and family. He will always make sure they're safe and try to help them. But, with his significant other there are times when he's bit overprotective.
-If, you're going out to raid some outpost this discussion will most likely break out.
"Babe, I'll be borrowing your Outrunner."
"Nonono. You won't."
"And why is that?"
"I just... I just got it cleaned up. That's why you can't go out."
"Scooter, I'll be okay." You kiss him on the cheek. "It's nice for you to think of my safety but trust me. I'll be fine."
-He will usually give in. Unless, it's about Hyperion. Those are the times, he won't let you go.
-Scooter has no idea when to stop working. So, it's not rare to see him falling asleep while working on a engine.
-Which, means his significant other will either bring an blanket for him or carry him to the couch.
-If, the later one happens Scooter will pull you with him down to the couch and won't let go.
-You just admit defeat and cuddle with the greased up man and sleep with him. On the morning, you'll be woken up by Scooter bringing breakfast to you.
-He's thoughtful like that. Except, he can't cook meaning your breakfast is burned eggs and bacon. Which, you believe is bacon. It could be coal for all you know.
-A lot of dates, will be spend in the garage working on cars or watching movies/shows. He really likes animal documentaries. It's outside of his usual interests and he gets something else to think.
-He at one point wanted an cat as an pet. But, he soon realized that his garage wouldn't be the best place for it, so he gave up on that thought.
-He would've called the cat Scooter Junior.
-He has a tendency to name his cars, so when you're asking about spefic car it'll go pretty much like this.
"Wow, that's amazing looking car."
"Oh, that's Jillian. She's a beauty ain't she? Fastest Outrunner I've done so far."
"You've, named it?"
"Hell yeah, I've named all of these ladies. That one over is Bethany and next to her is Kitty."
-He even does custom license plates for them. Or for anyone, if they ask for them.
-He will have an secret handshake he wants to teach you. After a while it's your normal way of greeting each other.
-Scooter as his name suggests actually owned an scooter once in his life. He used to drive with it everywhere but once he got taste of Outrunner's speed he didn't look back.
-He does still have it in his garage. Waiting for the day to be used again.
-Scooter always wanted to see the world beyond Pandora but his dreams were shot down by his noble sacrifice. He at least died while riding the stars.
Soo, yeah. Some random headcanons I have about Scooter and some domestic ones as well. Thanks for ask.
