Background :
LEGO Scott, is a supporting character introduced in Ninjago, Season 12: Prime Empire. He is the first player to test the game and then became trapped within its digital world for 30 Years. Scott helps the Ninja, specifically the "League of Jay," providing them a hidden base, vehicles, and critical information about the virtual world's mechanics and dangers. Initially cautious and bitter due to his long isolation and having only one life left, Scott eventually embraced a heroic role, sacrificing his remaining life to ensure the Ninja's escape from the Red Visors. He later returns to the real world when the Ninja defeat Unagami and reappears as an ally in Season 15: Crystalized.
Appearance :
Scott's avatar appearance, has blue skin, a black hood over a brown hat combination piece, with a mask covering his mouth. He wears a little blue jacket with long, black sleeves over a black inner jacket, and dark grey jeans. Notably, his design shares Elements with the Ninjas, including similar eyebrow and mouth shapes to Jay and Lloyd, and the Ninja's Dragon printed on his torso, leading to speculation about a potential connection to Jay. His real-life appearance, seen briefly at the end of the Season, simply mirrors his avatar design but with standard yellow human skin.
Role :

He initially refused to take risks, given his one remaining life, but his interactions with the Ninja, particularly Jay's, optimistic persistence, inspired him to fight back.
