Principal Leroy Scott
Return to The Seven School Mysteries
Creator: NPC
Roleplay: The Seven School Mysteries
Nickname: Principal, Mr. Scott
Full Name: Leroy Scott
Species: Human
Domain: Principal's Office
Special Object: N/A
Gender: Dude
Sexuality: Straight
Up for Romance?: He has a wife and kids, but Principal Scott's personal life makes for pretty boring school gossip.
Age: Boomer
Appearance:
White middle-aged man. His bald head is so radiant that it has been known to blind people from across the room when it catches the light just so. Dresses like your dad, your pastor, and your least interesting uncle all rolled into one. Has their budding beer belly, too. Smiles like he's being photographed and the sun is in his eyes.
Personality:
He made Pokemon Go references at assembly one month after the craze died. He repeated whatever Vines his kids were watching, weeks after they stopped using Vine. He's making a Fortnite joke right now. Every school assembly, every speech, his students await with fear and dread.
Every now and again he'll go back to referencing something from his own generation, like Flash Gordon, but then nobody gets it. What were his kids watching on that Tick-Tack thing again? Maybe he'll look it up…
Leroy doesn't get your humour. He doesn't get exactly what you're going through. But you better believe he cares.
Brief History: Every principal retiring from Ravenwood warns his replacement of the school's supernatural tendencies on his way out the door. The new man laughs at the old, wishes him a happy retirement, and thinks no more of it. Then a few weeks later the old man gets a furious phone call, but by then the paperwork is sealed.
Leroy Scott is the most recent addition to Ravenwood's grand tradition, a former mayor who had expected this smaller job to be a 'nice change.'
Flash forward to the present day, his suffering hairline has finally thrown in the towel, but his spirit has grown ever more resilient, now accustomed to these spooky scary happenings. Principal Leroy has developed his own tried and true method of bravely confronting the misbehaving apparition, giving them a good stern telling off and some life advice, and then running to Eli for backup if he starts getting murdery vibes. Works every time.
Talents:
Leroy Sense:
Leroy possesses something akin to a Spidey Sense that causes symptoms like goosebumps whenever trouble is afoot at the school, or even spooky shivers if lives are at stake. His directional intuition as to where the trouble is situated is impeccable. Unfortunately Leroy cannot be everywhere at once, trouble is afoot every single day, and he'd never get anything done if he followed his Leroy Sense all the time, so he mostly ignores the small ones unless he happened to be nearby.
