Scott Ameen is one of the seven human protagonists in Favor of Athena Sereris. He is characterized by his drive for acceptance and his passion for art and comics. Coming from a challenging family background, Scott carries both ambition and insecurity as he navigates his personal journey.
Appearance
Scott is a nineteen‑year‑old young man of average height and lean build, standing at five feet nine inches and weighing around one hundred fifty‑five pounds. He has a brown complexion and keeps his black hair in a neat low fade, giving him a clean and composed look. His eyes are naturally brown, though they shift into a striking blue glow whenever he draws on the astral energy granted by Athena. Scott is often seen wearing a suit with a white shirt and red tie, a look that reflects both his quiet formality and the circumstances in which he and his friends first encountered danger. When his powers awaken, a faint blue aura sometimes radiates around him, subtly outlining his figure and hinting at the energy he channels. Despite his otherwise reserved appearance, these moments reveal the extraordinary transformation beneath his calm exterior.
History
Scott’s earliest appearance centers on the funeral of Teresa Jarvis and her family, who were murdered by a serial predator targeting households. The loss deeply affects him, leaving him shaken, guilt‑ridden, and unsure of how to process his emotions. While attending the service alongside his friends Paige, Liam, Greg, Warrick, Gabriela, and Ellen, the group becomes caught in a sudden attack by Arachne. Amid the chaos, they try to help other attendees escape while struggling to understand what is happening. Athena intervenes to protect them but is injured in the process. With no alternative, she grants her divine favor to Scott and his six friends, unlocking the beginnings of their supernatural abilities. Arachne withdraws when she senses the shift in power, leaving Scott and his companions to grapple with what they have witnessed. Determined to uncover the truth behind Teresa’s death and the forces now entangling their lives, Scott agrees to join Athena in seeking answers.
Personality
Scott’s personality is defined by a complex blend of ambition, insecurity, humor, and emotional vulnerability. He deeply wants to be accepted and recognized, and this desire drives many of his actions—even when he tries to conceal it beneath a quiet and modest exterior. Though he cares passionately about art, comics, and creative expression, he often fears that he will fall short, appear weak, or disappoint those around him. These fears shape both his hesitation and his determination, creating an internal tension that guides his development.
A major part of Scott’s inner conflict comes from his tendency to seek validation while simultaneously battling emotional paralysis. His calling manifests as a need to stand out and be admired, pushing him toward bold decisions when he believes recognition is at stake. At the same time, his greatest hindrance lies in what appears to be sloth, though not rooted in laziness. Instead, Scott struggles with guilt and anxiety—haunted by the idea that he has let others down or will fail them again. This leads him to avoid challenges he might not excel in, holding him back even when he wants to move forward.
Emotionally, Scott experiences significant highs and lows. Periods of intense motivation may suddenly give way to heavy doubt or sadness, creating a rhythm that can be both humorous and heartbreaking in different moments. His generalized anxiety causes him to overthink and worry excessively, while sudden bursts of panic can overwhelm him at critical times. These emotional patterns make him deeply sympathetic, revealing a young man who cares intensely but fears expressing just how strongly he feels.
He is reserved and introspective, processing much of his emotional world internally while showing quiet loyalty and patience with those he cares about. Sensitive and modest, he rarely seeks attention directly, even though he longs for it beneath the surface. He reacts to the world in a physical and instinctive way, grounded in the present moment, and tends to adapt rather than plan extensively. This combination of inward depth and outward reactivity creates a subtle but meaningful contrast in his behavior—one that captures both his quiet nature and the heightened emotions that shape his growth.
Powers / Abilities
Aura (Astral Energy Detection)
Scott’s connection to Athena grants him the ability to draw power from the astral dimension, which manifests as a blue glow in his eyes. This aura enhances his awareness of supernatural and metaphysical forces, allowing him to sense and respond to energies beyond normal perception. The astral aura acts as both a passive and active form of detection, heightening Scott’s ability to perceive threats or disturbances tied to otherworldly sources.
Sonic Control (Vibrations Only)
Scott possesses the ability to generate non‑audible vibrations capable of affecting both organic and inorganic material. These vibrations can cause internal disruptions, structural weakening, or localized micro‑hemorrhaging depending on their intensity. His power focuses strictly on the creation and control of emitted vibrations rather than manipulation of existing sound waves. He cannot amplify or mute sound in his surroundings, nor shape sound into complex forms. All of his sonic abilities originate from his own emission, giving him a unique and focused control over vibrational energy. Through training and instinctual development, he has learned to use this power both defensively and offensively in precise bursts.
Scott’s sonic abilities include several specialized techniques. He can absorb incoming sound energy, allowing him to neutralize harmful sonic attacks. By concentrating vibrational force, he can form personal force fields capable of shielding him from physical harm. His resilience against noise grants him protection from disorienting or deafening effects. He can also use vibrational feedback to navigate his environment, providing him with a form of sonar that allows him to sense shapes and movement even in darkness or obscured areas. When directing his power downward or behind him, Scott can propel himself through the air with controlled bursts, achieving a moderate level of flight. Additionally, he can generate disruptive vibrations capable of breaking down or destabilizing materials, though this ability is limited to structural disruption rather than total disintegration.
Danger Sense
As a familiar of Athena, Scott possesses a heightened instinct that alerts him to incoming threats. This sense activates before conscious awareness, allowing his body and powers to react automatically to danger. The ability serves as a form of precognitive warning that sharpens his reflexes and helps him evade attacks with greater agility. Though this instinct is powerful, Scott can choose to override it when necessary, exerting control over his reactions. His danger sense prevents him from being caught off guard by sudden attacks of significant intensity, giving him a vital defensive edge in fast‑moving or chaotic situations.
Skills
Military Background: Scott’s practical training and real‑world experience further enhance his effectiveness. His understanding of military structure and tactics allows him to interpret commands, anticipate strategic movements, and lead others with increased confidence.
Leadership: He has the ability to focus and motivate a team, granting them a temporary surge of effectiveness when he maintains his presence and composure.
Marksmanship: In combat, Scott is highly trained in marksmanship, capable of handling a wide range of firearms, from standard handguns and rifles to more specialized weapons such as stun, laser, or concussion‑based firearms. These skills complement his powers, giving him versatility in both everyday and extraordinary confrontations.
