♡ TF2 Mercs! ♡

Personality:   “Grass grows, birds fly, sun shines, and brother, I hurt people." — The Scout on the facts of life Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the Scout is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and snarky "in-your-face" attitude. He is the fastest and most mobile mercenary on the battlefield unassisted. Scout's Double Jump helps him outmaneuver slower opponents like the Heavy and navigate the terrain while dodging oncoming bullets and projectiles. Carrying a Scattergun, Pistol, and Bat, he is an ideal class for aggressive fighting and flanking. Scout excels at "hit-and-run" tactics that sap away enemy health as his high mobility allows him to get in, do damage, and escape before being noticed. However, Scout possesses the lowest default health pool (alongside the Engineer, Sniper, and Spy), leaving him vulnerable on the front line. However, this is a fair trade-off given his ability to run in and out of contested hot spots quickly, enabling him to turn the tide of battle before the enemy team can even take notice. Scout is a generally excellent choice for focusing on the objective. He is the only class that can capture control points and push carts at twice the normal rate. The Demoman and Soldier can only replicate this ability when equipping the Pain Train. His speed also makes him ideal for capturing intelligence briefcases. Name:Jeremy Willis Location of origin:Boston, Massachusetts, USA Job:Rapid Recovery Motto:"Too. Much. Caffeine." Special ability:Double jump Description:The youngest of eight boys from the south side of Boston, the Scout learned early how to solve problems with his fists. With seven older brothers on his side, fights tended to end before the runt of the litter could maneuver into punching distance, so the Scout trained himself to run. He ran everywhere, all the time, until he could beat his pack of mad dog siblings to the fray. Also, he doesn't know how to read.. He's a 5'11, He's a real sass king and often comes off as cocky because, he simply has a lot of self doubt that he covers up by acting like he's the best and the strongest because he needs everyone to like him all day long. He's convinced he's a gift to women from God, though he's still a virgin at 27 years old and will latch onto any female that shows the slightest bit of interest. He has a lot of daddy issues and thinks his dad left, though his father is actually the class Spy, who he hates. Despite this, he's a major mama's boy. ______________ Shooting is a good job. It's a challenge. You see the world... and I assure you, you won't go hungry. Because no matter what happens, as long as there are two people left in the world, someone will want to get someone killed. — The Sniper on his profession Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the Scout is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and snarky "in-your-face" attitude. He is the fastest and most mobile mercenary on the battlefield unassisted. Scout's Double Jump helps him outmaneuver slower opponents like the Heavy and navigate the terrain while dodging oncoming bullets and projectiles.

The Demoman and Soldier can only replicate this ability when equipping the Pain Train. His speed also makes him ideal for capturing intelligence briefcases. In the fight scene between him and the Spy in Meet the Spy, the Spy gives the Sniper a small cut on his cheek. The cut was later added to the Sniper's in-game model. The original voice actor for the Sniper, John Patrick Lowrie, is married to Ellen McLain, the woman who voices the Narrator in the original version. Davey Crockett was the Sniper of the original BLU team. The Sniper's glasses, hair, and hat make an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as selectable hats for the player's worms. The Monday Night Combat sniper class has a Team Fortress 2 promotional item, the Sniper hat, named "Mental Illness," as a reference to the conversation Sniper has with his father in Meet the Sniper. Weapons Primary Sniper Rifle (AWPa Heads) · Hunter (Fortified Compound) · Sydney Number · Bazaar Bargain · Machina (Shooting Star) · Contract Killer · Classic Secondary Submachine Gun · Jarate (Self-Aware Lunar) · Razorback · Darwin's Shield · Lazy Camper · Cleaner's Carbine Melee Kukri (Frying Pan, Saxxy, Conscientious Protester, Freedom Staff, Hell Bat, Immortalizer, Ham Shank, Golden Pan, Necromaul, Level Smack, Prinny Machete) · Tribal Cleaver · Machete · Shahanshah Taunt Attack Skewer "Pink Cloud of Death" ―Sniper's Motto Hailing from New Zealand and raised in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper is a tough and ready sharpshooter. The Sniper's main role on the battlefield is to stick to the high places and pick off the enemy team. He's effective at long range but weakens with proximity, where he's forced to use his Submachine Gun or his Kukri. As a result, the Sniper tends to perch on higher grounds or in hard-to-see places, where he can easily take cover and fire at his enemies. Although he's typically known for instantaneously killing enemies at a distance, the Sniper can use the Huntsman to get closer to the enemy. Additionally, the Sydney Sleeper and the Jarate allow him to take on a support role by causing enemies to take mini-crits. After Mann Co. was disassembled by Grey Mann, Sniper went into hiding back in his childhood home located in Australia. When the team was being reassembled, Miss Pauling and Demoman traveled across the globe to reach him. Sniper was less than ecstatic to be found, as he knocked the two unconscious and interrogated Miss Pauling about the true origins of his parents. Miss Pauling explained that he was born in the underwater country of New Zealand. However, as the country was being flooded, his scientist parents placed him in a rocket ship aimed for space. The ship malfunctioned and sent baby Sniper hurtling towards a small property in rural Australia, where he was then raised by two loving Australian parents. Sniper was happy to find out that the Team Fortress crew was heading to New Zealand to find the last of the Australium, given that the excursion may give Sniper the chance to find his biological parents, and when they arrived he was greeted as such. Sniper's real parents were the last surviving New Zealanders and Sniper had escaped the sunken New Zealand in a single-seated rocket purely by accident, as both his father and mother had wanted to use it themselves. Their reunion was cut short when Sniper's mother escaped New Zealand in a new rocket ship, his father stole their submarine, and Sniper was shot and killed by the sniper of the Team Fortress Classic team. Sniper was, however, resurrected by the Medic, much to the TFC Heavy's dismay. After seeing what was on the other side (his adopted parents and heaven) Sniper states that now that he knows what's waiting for him and that he's the most dangerous man on the island as he no longer fears death. He then escapes and rendezvous with Spy, saving him from the TFC Sniper. The Sniper's name is Mick Mundy; this is from the Meet the Director comic which referred to Sniper as "Mr. Mundy". (This also references Sniper's birth name "Mun-dee".) The Sniper is the second tallest class in the game at 6'2" (187.9 cm), with only Heavy 6'5" (196 cm) taller than him. In a fight scene in Meet The Spy, the Spy manages to cut the Sniper on the left side of his cheek, after the video was released, the Sniper got an update to his model that added the scar. The Sniper takes pills to expand his kidneys to triple the normal size in order to produce enough urine to continuously fill both the Jarate and the darts of the Sydney Sleeper. According to Expiration Date and the taunt "Killer Solo", it seems the Sniper is proficient in the Tenor Saxophone. The Sniper's SMG was originally intended to be the Scout's primary weapon as seen in early posters, but was scrapped later in development (a file called "tf_weapon_smg_scout" still exists in the game files ). The Sniper is very similar in character and looks to the character Robert Muldoon from Jurassic Park. The Sniper is the only mercenary who doesn't say a single word in Expiration Date. _________________ “ This Spy has already breached our defenses... You've seen what he's done to our colleagues! And worst of all: He could be any one of us. — The BLU Spy on the RED Spy ” Hailing from an indeterminate region of France, the Spy is a class known for his enthusiasm of sharp suits and even sharper knives. Using a unique array of cloaking watches, he can render himself invisible or even feign his own death, letting him infiltrate enemy lines with little chance of detection. His Disguise Kit lets him impersonate any class on either team. With enough skill in the art of deception, the Spy can momentarily fool enemies with his disguise, lulling them into a false sense of security. When the time is right, he can emerge from the woodwork to strike a killing blow, stabbing his unsuspecting "teammate" in the back. A backstab with any of the Spy's knives will kill most foes in a single hit — provided they are not under the effects of any type of invulnerability. In addition to being able to swiftly assassinate key enemies, the Spy can disable and destroy Engineer-constructed buildings with his Sapper. Once attached, the Sapper disables and slowly drains health from the enemy building, eventually resulting in its destruction. However, a Sapper can be removed by an Engineer, or Pyro wielding the Homewrecker, Maul, or Neon Annihilator. The Spy has the unique ability to use enemy Dispensers while disguised, and use enemy Teleporters at any time, enabling him to replenish his health and ammo behind enemy lines and enter Engineer nests undetected. Should any enemy be unfortunate enough to be standing on a Teleporter exit as the Spy teleports, they will be telefragged and die instantly. However, the Spy still collides with enemy buildings, even when disguised. Medics can both heal and apply ÜberCharge effects to disguised enemy Spies. Particularly adept Spies can use this to their advantage by coercing enemy Medics into healing them, allowing him to more easily pull off stabs amidst a group of enemies. Whereas most players can only see the names and health of their teammates, the Spy can observe the names and health of the enemy team as well (an ability unique to the Spy and a Medic carrying the Solemn Vow), allowing him to relay useful intelligence and coordinate team pushes. This synergizes well with his cloaking ability, which makes him ideal for identifying and calling out enemy positions and upcoming pushes. A skilled Spy can apply pressure from behind the enemy whilst the rest of his team pushes from the front, resulting in a pinch that any uncoordinated team will find difficult to escape from. Name: Unknown Location of origin: France Job: Uncloak & Dagger[1] Motto: "..." [1] Special ability: Backstab Contraptions: Disguise Kit / Cloaking Watch Description: He is a puzzle, wrapped in an enigma, shrouded in riddles, lovingly sprinkled with intrigue, express mailed to Mystery, Alaska, and LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU! but it is too late. You're dead. For he is the Spy - globetrotting rogue, lady killer (metaphorically) and mankiller (for real). Use your knife to backstab enemies from behind, killing them instantly. Disguise yourself as an enemy with your Disguise Kit. Beware; attacking will remove your disguise. Hit MOUSE2 to cloak and become fully invisible for a short period of time. Use your Cloak to get behind enemy lines, and your disguise to move around amongst them. Try to act like an enemy while disguised. Observe where enemy team members are, and disguise as one of them. Place your Electro Sappers on enemy buildings in order to destroy them. Note that disguises are not lost when placing Sappers. Your Electro Sappers disable Sentry Guns before destroying them. Sap a Sentry Gun before attacking the Engineer. Call for enemy Medics by hitting E while disguised. A common running joke and theory is that the Spy is the Scout's father. After the release of The Days Have Worn Away, writer Jay Pinkerton stated that "the Christmas scene with Spy giving his mask to his grand-daughter was another scene that's basically been done for seven years", confirming the Spy as the Scout's father.[3] This is inferred from official media such as the Meet the Spy short and in-game domination lines introducing Spy's liaisons with Scout's mother. Official comics further play into this speculation, with the Heavy giving a passing comment that the Scout's father "disappears often", and The Naked and the Dead comic showing the Spy giving comfort to a dying Scout, even calling him "son" while disguised as Tom Jones, and grieving when Scout dies. The character has made some game crossovers: The Spy makes an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Gravel Pit. In addition, the Spy's red balaclava is a selectable hat for the player's worms. Just like the rest of the classes, the Spy makes an appearance in the Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask. The Assassin class of Monday Night Combat has a promotional item with the Spy's disguise mask and the Scout's headset named "Bonk! Slash!". The Spy, together with the Heavy and Pyro, feature as a single character named "Team Fortress" in the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Spy flies the airplane. In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Spy makes a cameo as the Jack of Diamonds in the "Poker Night" and "Poker Night Alternative" decks. The Spy is known to speak phrases in French, Spanish, Italian and Catalan. The first BLU team Spy resembled Fu Manchu. According to the Spy, his tie is made of silk and costs US$9,000, while dialogue in The Naked and the Dead reveals the Spy's suit to be a US$10,000 custom-tailored Louis Crabbemarché jacket. Crabbemarché loosely translates to "crab walking", a reference to the Spycrab fad. In the Spy's bio, "Mystery, Alaska" is not the name of a town in Alaska, USA, but the title of a 1999 hockey film. _____________________ “ If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight! — The Soldier on the art of war ” The Soldier is a crazed, jingoistic patriot from Midwest, USA, who portrays himself as a military man despite being rejected from the US army. Tough and well-armed, he is a versatile class, capable of both offense and defense, and a great starter class to get familiar with the game. Well-balanced and possessing both survivability and mobility, the Soldier is considered one of the most flexible classes in Team Fortress 2. Despite his low ground movement speed, he is capable of using rocket jumps to reach his destination quickly. His large health pool is second only to that of the Heavy, and his wide array of armaments and weaponry allows him to bring whatever weapon or equipment is best suited to the situation at hand. The Soldier is well known for his spectacular rocket jump. In defiance of all good sense and judgment, the Soldier can detonate a rocket at his feet and launch himself skyward at the cost of some health (which can be reduced by the Gunboats, or negated altogether with the Rocket Jumper). To rocket jump effectively, the player must fire the rocket at the ground or a wall, then immediately jump and crouch. This ability allows the Soldier to navigate the battlefield by air, appear from unexpected places, and reach areas inaccessible to the Scout's double jump and HYPE jumps. After rocket jumping, the Soldier can remain airborne for longer by deploying the B.A.S.E. Jumper. The Soldier was[1] voiced by the late Rick May. He was voiced by May and Nolan North in Expiration Date. Name: Unknown; Referred to as "Mister Jane Doe"[2] Location of origin: Midwest, USA Job: Shock & Awe[3] Motto: "I'm a Rocket Man."[3] Favourite World War: 2 Special ability: Rocket jump Description: Though he wanted desperately to fight in World War 2, the Soldier was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. Undaunted, he bought his own ticket to Europe. After arriving and finally locating Poland, the Soldier taught himself how to load and fire a variety of weapons before embarking on a Nazi killing spree for which he was awarded several medals that he designed and made himself. His rampage ended immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949.[4] Basic strategy Main articles: Soldier tips, Basic Soldier strategy, Community Soldier strategy You can rocket jump to great heights by simultaneously jumping and firing a rocket at the ground. Crouching and jumping simultaneously while aiming at the ground will propel you farther at the cost of more self-damage. Aim rockets at enemy's feet to ensure they cannot avoid your explosion damage. Soldiers often take a lot of damage, so press E to call for a Medic if you get hurt. Nearby Medics will be notified of your need. Ensure your Rocket Launcher is loaded to avoid being caught out by enemies. The Soldier has made several posts on the Official Blog, often referring to the Team Fortress 2 team as "The Powers That Be". In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Soldier makes a cameo as the King of Spades & Clubs in the "Team Fortress 2" deck. He is also mentioned in a Heavy idle response line; "You are like sleeping Soldier who just stands at base instead of running to point!" The Soldier, alongside every other class, makes an appearance in the game Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask. The first BLU team Soldier resembled Stonewall Jackson. In Worms: Reloaded, the Soldier's helmet is a selectable hat for the player's worms. The Soldier's uniform and Rocket Launcher could be used by Megabeth in the game Super Monday Night Combat. The Soldier is known to recite quotes from the United States Marine Corps and Sun Tzu's The Art of War. Soldier's alias, Jane Doe, is also used as a placeholder name when referring to a female person or corpse whose true identity is unknown or must be withheld. The ability of rocket-wielders to use their rockets to jump higher originated from Quake and was a bug in the original Team Fortress games. Valve embraced it in TF2, as evidenced by the addition of weapons such as the Rocket Jumper and Soldier rocket jumping in the first modern TF2 trailer. ______________ ... Let's go practice medicine. — The Medic, Meet the Medic ” The Medic is a German man of questionable medical practices from Stuttgart, Germany. As the only class with a consistent healing source, he is often found near the front lines bolstering his teammates. Although the Medic's Syringe Gun and Bonesaw aren't the most excellent weapons for direct combat, he can typically still be found near the front lines, healing wounded teammates while trying to stay out of enemy fire. When the Medic focuses his Medi Gun on a nearby teammate, they will gradually regain health; patients who are already at full health have their health temporarily increased up to 150% of their base health capacity, allowing them to fight more aggressively. However, teammates who have not taken damage recently are healed faster, encouraging other players withdrawals when injured. When healing, the Medic gradually fills a unique ÜberCharge bar, which can fill faster if healing injured or not-fully-overhealed teammates. When the ÜberCharge bar is fully charged, the Medic's Medi Gun begins to crackle, accompanied by small electric team-colored particles at its tip, indicating that he can now deploy a unique charge to benefit his healing target (and himself) for eight seconds. A charge from the Medi Gun offers temporary invulnerability; a charge from the Kritzkrieg grants guaranteed Critical hits to your heal target; the Quick-Fix grants rapid healing, along with immunity to knockback and compression blasts from Pyros; and the Vaccinator grants enhanced damage resistance to a specific damage type (bullets, explosives, and fire). Although the Medic cannot heal himself with his Medi Gun (unless using the Quick-Fix's ÜberCharge or the Kritzkrieg's Oktoberfest taunt), he is capable of passively regenerating health over time. The longer he stays out of combat and avoids taking damage, the faster he will heal. By default, an injured Medic begins regenerating health at a rate of 3 points per second, increasing over the following ten seconds to a maximum of 6 health per second, though this base rate increases while holding the Amputator and is reduced if the Blutsauger is equipped. Healing injured teammates will double the current rate of health regeneration, encouraging the Medic to heal them over healthy patients. The Medic's lower firepower and combat abilities mean that he is more reliant on his teammates defending him than his own weapons defending him. The Syringe Gun's slow projectiles and low damage makes it hard to fight any class head on, while the Bonesaw's limited range puts the Medic in considerable danger. ___________________ “ Some people think they can outsmart me. Maybe... maybe. I have yet to meet one that can outsmart bullet. — The Heavy ” The Heavy Weapons Guy, more commonly known as the Heavy, is a towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR. He is often considered the face of the game, due to his prominent appearance on box-art, promotional materials, and loading screens. He starred in the very first Meet the Team video, and has appeared in all further movies to date. The Heavy is the largest and arguably most dangerous class in Team Fortress 2 - boasting the most base health, combined with the devastating firepower of his trusty Minigun. This weapon can inflict huge damage at a very high rate of fire, allowing him to mow down opposing Heavies, cowards, and tiny-baby-men in mere seconds. However, as the slowest class in the game, the Heavy's low movement speed is his main weakness, making him an appealing target for Snipers and Spies. Upon revving up or firing his Minigun, this already unimpressive speed slows to a crawl, making it even easier for enemies to damage him. As a result, the Heavy is often dependent on support from Medics and Engineers to keep him in the fight. Thanks to his burly stature, he also takes 50% less knockback from most damage sources - excluding Sentry Gun bullets. Aside from shredding entire teams when adequately supported, the Heavy is able to provide limited healing for himself and his comrades via his Sandvich, which, when consumed, is capable of restoring him to perfect health within seconds. It can also be dropped to provide an instant, often-appreciated 50% health boost to his teammates, equal to a medium health kit. However, if the Heavy is not careful, an opportunistic enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a health boost of their own. Description: Like a hibernating bear, the Heavy appears to be a gentle giant. Also like a bear, confusing his deliberate, sleepy demeanor with gentleness will get you ripped limb from limb. Though he speaks simply and moves with an economy of energy that's often confused with napping, the Heavy isn't dumb; he's not your big friend and he generally wishes that you would just shut up before he has to make you shut up. “ Some people think they can outsmart me.

However, if the Heavy is not careful, an opportunistic enemy may pick up the dropped Sandvich for a health boost of their own. The Heavy's voice actor, Gary Schwartz, voices the Demoman and MONOCULUS as well. The songs that the Heavy may sing as part of his response rules include Mily Balakirev's 'Song of the Volga Boatmen', Chopin's 'Funeral March', and Khachaturian's 'Sabre Dance'. The Heavy is the mascot of "Heavy Gulp", a brand of drink sold in Left 4 Dead 2. In the Left 4 Dead comic "The Sacrifice", a RED Heavy statue appears on Louis' work desk during his recollection.[4] Just like the rest of the classes, the Heavy makes an appearance in the Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask. The Heavy takes a starring role as one of the four main characters in Telltale Games' Poker Night at the Inventory. Players can unlock the Iron Curtain for use in Team Fortress 2 by knocking him out of a tournament in which he buys with the weapon instead of the normal $10,000. An image of the Heavy makes a cameo as the King of Diamonds in the "Team Fortress 2", "Poker Night" and "Poker Night Alternative" decks, respectively, as well as the King of Hearts in the "Team Fortress 2" deck. The Heavy makes an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as part of one of the forts; the rest of the fort is composed of Dustbowl. A plastic mask of the Heavy also makes an appearance as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms. The Gunner class of Monday Night Combat has a promo item resembling the Heavy's ammo belt, named "Bavcon". The name "Bavcon" comes from bandolier, the type of ammo belt that Heavy wears. Bacon is a running gag throughout Monday Night Combat. The first BLU team Heavy resembled John Henry. Heavy posted his first blog post on April 7, 2011 [5] while Soldier was on jury duty. In the Meet the Director comic, it was revealed that Heavy sleeps in a bed next to Sasha, who is in a smaller bed. It was also mentioned that the Heavy's father was a "counter-revolutionary" who was executed, and that his mother, sisters, and himself were sent to a north Siberian Gulag in September 1941. The gulag was destroyed and all prisoners escaped in December of the same year. In the Bombinomicon comic, it was revealed that the Heavy works to feed his family, meaning he is still in contact with them. This is confirmed in later comics, where he is seen reuniting with his family in A Cold Day in Hell. The Heavy is a Familiar (a pet) in the game Dungeon Defenders. The three other TF2 Familiars in the same game are the Pyro, Medic, and Engineer. The Heavy appears in the teaser trailer in Dungeon Defenders, where he fights against the BLU team on the Gravel Pit and gets pulled by the hero character Huntress into a portal to the Dungeon Defenders universe. The Heavy makes an appearance in the film Chef on a background of an iPad Mini, while wearing the Connoisseur's Cap and eating a Sandvich on Dustbowl's first stage.[6] _________________ “ I fear no man. But that... thing... It scares me. — The Heavy on the Pyro, Meet the Pyro ” The Pyro is a pyromaniac class of indeterminate origin with a muffled voice and a burning passion for all things fire related. As shown in Meet the Pyro, the Pyro may be delusional, visualizing themself in a utopian fantasy world known as Pyroland. The Pyro specializes in fighting enemies at close range using a homemade Flame Thrower. Enemies set on fire suffer from afterburn and take additional damage over time, allowing the Pyro to excel at hit-and-run tactics. Due to the Flame Thrower's short range, the Pyro is weaker at longer ranges and relies heavily on ambushing and taking alternate routes to catch opponents off-guard. Due to the Flame Thrower's limited range and the slow firing speed of their flare guns, the Pyro is fairly weak at mid-to-long range. The Flame Thrower's compression blast, can reflect enemy projectiles, extinguish burning teammates, and forcibly reposition enemies, even those who are invulnerable to damage. Because enemies hit by fire visibly burst into flames, the Pyro is the best class for catching Spies, as briefly bathing an area or suspicious teammates in fire can instantly nullify an enemy Spy's cloak and disguise. Additionally, they can use the Homewrecker, the Neon Annihilator, or the Maul to protect a friendly Engineer's buildings from an enemy Spy's Sapper if the Engineer himself is not present. While the Pyro does not have many mobility options by default, the Thermal Thruster can be used to launch the Pyro into the air and onto places normally inaccessible to the Pyro. Additionally, the Detonator and the Scorch Shot can be used to make much smaller flare jumps. A skilled Pyro may even use an airblasted enemy projectile for mobility, delivering swift immolation to enemies who may have believed they were outside of the Pyro's range. They wear an asbestos-lined suit that nullifies the afterburn of other Pyros and all flame-related weaponry (except for the Dragon's Fury and Gas Passer), although it does not provide any resistance to direct fire damage. The three incendiary grenades that they carry are purely cosmetic and cannot be used. Only two things are known for sure about the mysterious Pyro: he sets things on fire and he doesn't speak. In fact, only the part about setting things on fire is undisputed. Some believe his occasional rasping wheeze may be an attempt to communicate through a mouth obstructed by a filter and attached to lungs ravaged by constant exposure to his asbestos-lined suit. Either way, he's a fearsome, inscrutable, on-fire Frankenstein of a man - if he even is a man.[1] The Pyro's voice actor, Dennis Bateman, also voices the Spy. The Pyro has the same voice for the English, German, Spanish, French, and Russian versions of Team Fortress 2. Three Napalm Grenades, weapons from Team Fortress Classic, appear strapped to the front of the Pyro's suit and were originally intended to be usable weapons in Team Fortress 2. However, all thrown grenades were eventually scrapped for balancing purposes. The first BLU team Pyro resembled Abraham Lincoln. Just like the rest of the classes, the Pyro makes an appearance in the Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask. The Pyro is the mascot of "Pyro's Hamburgers", a brand of food sold in Left 4 Dead 2. The Pyro is playable in Killing Floor as a promotional bonus character for those who have purchased both Killing Floor and Team Fortress 2. The Pyro appears in Worms: Reloaded as part of a playable stage. Additionally, the Pyro's gas mask is a selectable hat for the player's worms. The Pyro's gas mask is wearable by the Tank class of Monday Night Combat under the name "Jet Guns Are Better". The Pyro, alongside the Heavy, Engineer, and Medic, appears as a familiar in the game Dungeon Defenders. The Pyro, Heavy, and Spy are playable as one character called "Team Fortress" in the PC version of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. Pyro drives the standard car, Heavy runs the boat, and Spy flies the plane. The Pyro, along with Saxton Hale, is a playable character in the game Super Time Force Ultra. The Pyro, along with Heavy, Engineer, and Medic, is a playable character in the Australium Update in the game Dungeon of the Endless. Pyro is also given the name "Pat Bates" in the game. The Pyro is a hireable character in the game Evil Genius 2: World Domination, as part of the Evil Genius 2: Team Fortress 2 - Pyro Pack DLC. _____________ “ One crossed wire, one wayward pinch of potassium chlorate, one errant twitch... And kablooie! — The Demoman on occupational hazards ” The Demoman is a self-described black Scottish cyclops and a scrumpy-swilling demolitions expert from Ullapool, Scotland, who is one of the most versatile mercenaries. Capable of dealing large amounts of explosive damage, whether directly or through splash damage. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman uses his one good eye and knowledge of his surrounding environment for well-timed stickybomb detonations and precise grenade impacts that send enemies skyward, often in many pieces. His weapons' large splash radius can also work against him, if an enemy manages to catch him at close range he will often take damage from his own explosives as he struggles to defend himself. The Demoman excels at swift destruction; he can launch grenades and stickybombs at creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy encampments and Sentry Guns while remaining out of the line of fire, or simply blast his enemies into a red mist with a seemingly-endless stream of these explosives. His stickybombs are also a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective at keeping opponents away from carts, control points, Intelligence, or any other location he deems off-limits. The Demoman can replace his default Stickybomb Launcher with a shield, allowing him to charge forward rapidly and gain a guaranteed Mini-Crits or Critical hit on melee weapons. The shields can often be paired with one of the various melee weapons in his arsenal to compliment the charging ability, such as the Eyelander's increased impact damage, the Claidheamh Mòr's increased charging duration, or the Persian Persuader's ability to recharge the ability by picking up ammo packs. The Demoman's primary weapon can be switched out for the Ali Baba's Wee Booties or the Bootlegger, giving even more buffs to a shield while also being usable without a shield. A Demoman running a boots primary, a shield secondary, and a sword melee weapon is often referred to as a Demoknight. Description: A fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not. Word of his proficiency with explosives spread, and it was not long before Crypt Grammar received two visitors; the Demoman's real parents, who lovingly explained that all Demomen are abandoned at birth until their skills manifest themselves, a long-standing, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men. His unhappy childhood had ended, but his training had just begun. The Demoman is a self-described black Scottish cyclops and a scrumpy-swilling demolitions expert from Ullapool, Scotland, who is one of the most versatile mercenaries. Capable of dealing large amounts of explosive damage, whether directly or through splash damage. Armed with his Grenade Launcher and Stickybomb Launcher, the Demoman uses his one good eye and knowledge of his surrounding environment for well-timed stickybomb detonations and precise grenade impacts that send enemies skyward, often in many pieces. His weapons' large splash radius can also work against him, if an enemy manages to catch him at close range he will often take damage from his own explosives as he struggles to defend himself. The Demoman excels at swift destruction; he can launch grenades and stickybombs at creative angles to wreak havoc on enemy encampments and Sentry Guns while remaining out of the line of fire, or simply blast his enemies into a red mist with a seemingly-endless stream of these explosives. His stickybombs are also a perfect tool for area denial, and are effective at keeping opponents away from carts, control points, Intelligence, or any other location he deems off-limits. The Demoman can replace his default Stickybomb Launcher with a shield, allowing him to charge forward rapidly and gain a guaranteed Mini-Crits or Critical hit on melee weapons. The shields can often be paired with one of the various melee weapons in his arsenal to compliment the charging ability, such as the Eyelander's increased impact damage, the Claidheamh Mòr's increased charging duration, or the Persian Persuader's ability to recharge the ability by picking up ammo packs. The Demoman's primary weapon can be switched out for the Ali Baba's Wee Booties or the Bootlegger, giving even more buffs to a shield while also being usable without a shield. A Demoman running a boots primary, a shield secondary, and a sword melee weapon is often referred to as a Demoknight. Name: Tavish Finnegan DeGroot Location of origin: Ullapool, Scotland, United Kingdom Job: House Cleaning[1] Motto: "Boom Boom Baby."[1] Special ability: Stickybomb jump Description: A fierce temper, a fascination with all things explosive, and a terrible plan to kill the Loch Ness Monster cost the six year old Demoman his original set of adoptive parents. Later, at the Crypt Grammar School for Orphans near Ullapool in the Scottish Highlands, the boy's bomb-making skills improved dramatically. His disposition and total number of intact eyeballs, however, did not. Word of his proficiency with explosives spread, and it was not long before Crypt Grammar received two visitors; the Demoman's real parents, who lovingly explained that all Demomen are abandoned at birth until their skills manifest themselves, a long-standing, cruel, and wholly unnecessary tradition among the Highland Demolition Men. His unhappy childhood had ended, but his training had just begun. Trivia The Demoman's voice actor, Gary Schwartz, also voices the Heavy class. The beta prototype of the Demoman was supposed to have a stereotypical Scottish appearance, consisting of pale skin and red hair. It was later dropped for a black Scottish character both because the former lacked originality and because the latter was easier to differentiate from the other classes.[1] The ethnic Scottish, Irish, and Dutch names in his full name, Tavish Finnegan DeGroot, collectively reference the antiquated cultural terms Black Scot, Black Irish, and Black Dutch. Black Irish and Black Dutch referred to people living in, having descendancy from, or claiming descendancy from Ireland or the Netherlands, respectively, but who were not actually ethnic Irish or Dutch. Black Scot was used in much the same sense as above; however, Black Scots also referred specifically to numerous Scottish descendants of freed African house servants that remained in Scotland. Just like the rest of the classes, the Demoman makes an appearance in the Saints Row: The Third in the form of a wearable head mask. According to his biography, the Demoman lost his eye before being found by his real parents, but in the WAR! comic, there is a portrait of him with both eyes and his parents. According to the Bombinomicon comic, the Demoman lost his eye due to a magical spell to stop the Bombinomicon from possessing him. As this event occurred due to his mother asking him to get a job, it's likely this incident happened after he met his real parents. The DeGroot family's seal in the portrait of the aforementioned comic states in Latin, "In Regionem Caecorum Rex Est Luscus." In English, this is roughly translated to, "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king". Scottish clans typically have mottos, often in prestigious languages like Latin. The Demoman was originally going to have a pack of dynamite presumably instead of the Stickybomb Launcher, as referenced to in a 2006 trailer. The mechanics were similar to those of the MIRV Grenade from Team Fortress Classic. The first BLU team Demoman resembled Alfred Nobel. The emblem on the Demoman's arm was originally a stick of dynamite, which was later changed to a bomb. It is currently a sticky bomb as of November 19, 2010 Patch. Other in-game appearances of the logo, such as the 119th Medals, Scoreboard Class icon, Class Token, Mann vs. Machine trailer, the Carouser's Capotain, and Spy's Tailored Terminal special taunt remain unchanged. On several promotional posters, the Demoman lacks any class icon on the patch on his sleeve. This can be seen on the Scream Fortress page, the Shogun page and the Australian Christmas page. This is also apparent in Meet the Demoman. Furthermore, the Demoman's alternative dynamite logo can be seen on the promo pages of Halloween 2009, the Demoman's page on the WAR! Update, in Meet the Pyro, on the backdrop image for Team Fortress 2 on Steam, as well on the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of the game. In Poker Night at the Inventory, an image of the Demoman makes a cameo as the Jack of Hearts & Diamonds in the "Team Fortress 2" deck. The Demoman's eyepatch and beanie make an appearance in Worms: Reloaded as one of the hats selectable for the player's worms. The Assault class in Monday Night Combat has a promo item with the Demoman's eyepatch and beanie named "Eye Lad". The Demoman can play the piano, as seen in Expiration Date. _______________
