[b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] 
Cocky, but professional, Scott is the quintessential fighter pilot. He walks the walk and talks the talk. He is confident and self-assured in his skills, but when the sticky stuff hits the fan, the swagger and breezy humour disappear and he becomes all business. He has steel behind the smile, and it shows in his eyes. 
His knack of dealing with people and being able to put down the law when needed has given him a good rep - despite some incidents in his career and personal life where things have gotten a little over the line - mainly because he is willing to stick his neck out for other people, especially those under his command, or who are being harassed or hounded by others. 
He does his best to be likable and build camaraderie and a good relationship with people around him, and tries to see the best of others, regardless of their outlook on him. Generally thinks the best of people, and gives them the benefit of the doubt - but can be vicious and unrelenting when his trust is betrayed, or he sees others abusing their power, privilege, or ability to hurt those with none of their own.

[u][b]Personal History:[/b][/u] 
Served during the wars prior to the Cataclysm as a USMC pilot. He has been an AV-8B Harrier II pilot throughout his career. As such, the majority of his action has been in support of Marine ground operations, consisting of close air support strikes, interdiction strikes, reconnaissance, tactical strikes of enemy assets or positions, and attacks on hostile surface targets, as well as escort of allied helicopters. 
Military service was a case of striking out to find his own way and independence, in an effort to get away from a boring and quiet childhood and home town. Left behind a younger sister - by a couple of years - whom he cares for greatly. She also left home behind, but to pursue a career as a medical aid worker and doctor. His parents died in the cataclysm, something he regrets greatly, despite knowing he could not have really helped them. 
Scott's career has been especially varied. As mentioned, flying the Harrier II has put him in harm's way for a variety of operations, especially during the cataclysm and he has seen combat of many and varied kinds, including air-to-air combat against hostile forces. He has scored victories in these engagements, notable for a Harrier pilot, and something not often seen since the British and the Falklands War. 
As a result of his career and record, he was noted for promotion to squadron leader. With the creation of the unified forces structure, he was instead reassigned as the leader of the new Shadow Flight, due to his experiences fighting around the world against Elysium's earliest attacks.

[hider=AV-8C Harrier III]
The Harrier III is the ultimate - and some would say final - evolution of the Harrier airframe, a design that originated in the 1960's in England, and resulted in the most successful and versatile STOVL aircraft design so far. 
The Harrier III maintains the basic shape and form of the Harrier's classic design, and still features a version of the Pegasus engine as its' core. However, the Harrier III is a new-build design that incorporates modern avionics and electronics, as well as modern construction materials and techniques, bringing the design up to 21st century standards and knowledge of aviation design, as well as incorporating several features considered in earlier design studies or projects for 'advanced' Harrier versions. Composite materials are used for lighter weight throughout the aircraft and its' engine. Advanced fly-by-wire controls are used throughout, along with a fully digital glass cockpit with touch-screen interfaces. A helmet-mounted targeting system is used, and the radar has been upgraded to an AESA radar, along with other sensor updates, and the 'big wing' including additional wingtip hardpoints for light anti-air missiles.  
The airframe has received minor tweaks and revamps all over akin to the 'Super Hornet' version of the F/A-18, incorporating edge-aligned hatches, panels, and doors wherever possible to reduce the planes' radar signature. With the Pegasus Engines' turbine face this does not have a huge reduction in signature, but is nonetheless an added bonus, along with the incorporation of other radar-reducing measures. The avionics updates have also allowed the Harrier III to be compatible with all NATO weapon systems.
