Equinox
Contents
Appearance
Scott is five foot eight inches and a very fit and trim athletic looking 165 lbs. He has blonde hair, blue eyes, and golden complexion. Scott doesn't spend a lot of time on his appearance, but he is clean and well groomed where it counts.
Given the choice, Scott prefers to dress in simple jeans and either t-shirts or polo shirts, but Millennium City is often too cool for him and he layers up with a sweater and / or a jacket. Most often though, Scott does not have a choice and is instead found in the St. Thomas school uniform of khaki pants and blue blazer.
Early in his heroing career Scott donned black sweatpants and a black t-shirt with a star emblem on it as his crime fighting costume. Selena quickly designed a more proper costume (and one that she was not horrified by) and, working with Sol Saevio, was able to provide Scott with his current black, white, and golden Equinox costume.
Personality
Scott Granger is a friendly, but uncompromising sort. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, responsibility, and the value of being kind. He likes people, and it's his goal in life to be a kind, thoughtful and compassionate person. He wants people to like him and tries hard to be likable, but this does not outweigh his sense of proper behavior.
Scott finds his sense of self worth through others, judging himself by what he believes his friends and loved ones think of him. A result of this is a great deal of introspection and taking rejection very hard.
He has a need to be a part of something, to belong and believes heavily in the concept of team with tendencies to be overly concerned with the behavior and actions of teammates. Divisions within his closest friends between him or each other cause him stress to the point that he might be considered uptight and controlling.
Scott is a Christian, a member of the United Methodist Church and this has shaped his set of morals and uncompromising values. He believes in the inclusive love of Jesus, that all are sinners, and leading by example rather than condemnation is the right path. He has little tolerance for what he considers "mean" behavior.
Origin
Scott Granger has spent all of his early years growing up in Panama City Beach Florida. His father, Daniel Edward Granger, is a retired Air Force pharmacist who continued his career as a civilian, finding a job as a pharmacists at the local AllMart, near to his final assignment. Scott's mother,Deborah Susan Brown Granger, is a Dental Hygienist. He grew up with two older sisters, Shannon Elizabeth, and Danielle Meghan. His childhood pet, a parrot named named Polly, died when he was 12.
Just before the beginning of Scott's 2013 summer break from school his then girlfriend, Rebecca, ended their relationship. This had a profound effect on the young man who had imagined his future with the girl and he quickly spiraled down into a depression. He withdrew from his normal activities and friends and spent most of his time alone. In an effort to help him before turning to medical solutions, they enrolled Scott in a summer "Student Ambassadors" program that was headed for Mexico.
Their first outing after orientation in Mexico City was to the nearby ruins of the pre-columbian Mesoamerican city, Teotihuacan. The children were given time to look around and explore for themselves, and Scott took the opportunity to wander off on his own to see what he could find.
It wasn't long before he found himself at the dead end terminus of an ancient alleyway. The impeding wall was less that 20 feet tall and had plenty of handholds. Wanting to see the view from up there he began to climb.
He was nearly to the top when he heard the voice telling him he shouldn't be up there and that he was going to fall. He looked down to see Selena Moyan as she started to climb up after him. Selena was a fellow Student Ambassador and easily the most striking student on the trip. Not only was she a fit and attractive girl his own age, but she was also an albino. Distracted, Scott promptly fell, tumbling into the girl and causing them both to plummet to the ground.
Neither is certain what happened. Scott recalls flailing about trying to find a handhold to arrest the fall and figures he must have pulled some lever or pushed some secret switch on the way down, but as they reached what should have been a bone jarring end to their tumble, then found themselves rolling in a tangle of limbs down a ramp under the earth. A grating rumble and the ensuing darkness told the pair they were now sealed in under the ancient city.
