Jumpsuit

Jumpsuit is a deuteragonist and a major ally in The Scratched Universe. He is introduced in Episode 03 - The Distortion.

He is a silent and self-reserved BLU Scout mercenary with a mysterious life, currently living in society as a Civilian who previously worked in Railway United, before the events of EP:03.

## Appearance

Jumpsuit's appearance is consistent with a factory/mechanic worker's attire, having a Breakneck Boiler jumpsuit and a pair of Forest Footwear as his main uniform; along with a Face Plante hockey mask covering his entire face; and a Faster Than a Speeding Mullet hairstyle.

## Personality

Jumpsuit's facial expressions and emotions remain relatively well hidden due to his mask. However, he expresses himself with the use of body language, gestures and eye movement. It remains unknown as to why he does not speak, but it may be connected with his privacy and concealment related to not showing his face.

To an outsider, Jumpsuit may seem like an untrustworthy individual due to his appearance and lack of social behavior, but this is mostly false as he has been shown to be sympathetic and a good caring friend to his best friend Fixer, as Jumpsuit expresses himself quite often in his presence. He also has a sense of humor, such as when he pushed Fixer into the well.

It is presumed that Jumpsuit has had somewhat of a dark past as to how he killed his infected colleagues during the Railway United outbreak without showing remorse or any kind of emotion, with swift and professional execution in his takedowns. However, he was shown to be emotionally attached to his work group, as he carries a photo of them inside his jumpsuit as a good memory. He was also seen conflicted by Hotrod's death, when told by Fixer, having his eye twitch and clenching his fist as restricted reactions.

As of EP:05, it is shown that Jumpsuit has a very deep and reinforced bond with Fixer as evidenced by his first written communication with him, after finishing off P-Rick. He wanted to take the consequences for the kill instead, to keep Fixer free from the burden and sin of killing a mercenary for the first time, knowing that Fixer was never shown to know the role of a Fragger and had always been living the life of a Civilian. Jumpsuit's reasoning is further evidenced by his happy reactions when Fixer came back to his senses during the discussion with P-Rick, and after Fixer had read Jumpsuit's note about the reasoning behind killing the delinquent for him. Another event of this bond occurs during Fixer's small PTSD moment when witnessing Hotrod interrupting his explanation of what happened in Railway United, where Jumpsuit realizes something was wrong with Fixer, or might even know what actually happened, as he was watching over him during the conversation.

As of EP:06, it is subtly revealed that Jumpsuit has a clear conflict with the Badlands, as Terge simply explaining what it is to Fixer, as he was not aware of what it is, was enough to cause him to frown his eyebrows.

## Abilities

Jumpsuit appears to be a normal Scout without supernatural or anomalous properties. He seems to be quite professional with his knife, as seen in his three Distorted kills during the events of EP:03:

1. He stabbed the Distorted Spy in the heart, killing it instantly;
2. Swiftly threw the knife at the Distorted Sniper's head, who was rushing towards him, then finished it off by breaking its neck, using the knife as leverage to do so;
3. Lunged and stabbed the Distorted Pyro's brain, dealing massive damage and killing it for good.

It may be possible that he killed more of the infected before meeting up with Fixer. He also seems to have prior knowledge of the Distortion, as he knew their fire weakness and burned some of the bodies with a matchbox.
