Origin[]

Scootz was born and raised in the Wasteland. He found work by going into the desert in search of scrap and trinkets, selling what he finds. Scootz lost his legs in a failed scrap run so he used a specialized cart to get by.

Traits[]

Edges[]

Major - Swiss Army Man - In his cart he has collected various items and scrap, including numerous tools to be used in various situations, like a half working pistol, a fuel canister as a booster, and a vacuum to collect things.
Minor - Blowtorch and Wrench - Scootz has a blowtorch and wrench to fix or create things.
Minor - Hover Wheels - Navigating the Wasteland can be a struggle, even more of a struggle if you have no legs. Luckily Scootz has equipped his cart with hover wheels for easy navigation.

Flaws[]

Major - Cart Reliance - Scootz is totally reliant on his cart, since he has little locomotion outside of his cart. If Scootz was to fall out of his cart, it would be incredibly difficult for him to get back into it.
Minor - Deteriorating Mind - Scootz grew up in the Wasteland, and his frequent time out in the desert has affected his mind. He often has lapses in intelligence and memory. He also struggles with control over his emotions.
Minor - Homeless Aesthetic - Scootz isn’t the cleanest of people and it's already hard to not look decrepit in the Wasteland. Scootz in his cart looks homeless and may put others off by his appearance.
