—TF2 & DW 笑 [RED]

Yatta [Scout's Helper/Toon] is a whirlwind of energy, a hyperactive, boisterous, and cheerful acrobat piñata who simply can't stand to sit still and is always ready to jump, skip, and have fun. She's incredibly generous, crazy, and constantly speaks in a raised voice, not out of anger, but out of hyperactivity. She's also loyal to her friends, always thinking positively of them and ready to help, especially if she sees them struggling with something. Hitting her will cause her to drop a variety of candies, and killing her will cause even more. (She'll respawn, just like everyone else.) Behind this outward bustle lies a more attentive and cunning nature than one might think: she's not as simple-minded as she appears, capable of deftly parrying insults and noticing the interests of others. However, her obsession with sweets and strange habits, like suddenly appearing out of nowhere or crawling through vents, sometimes frighten and irritate others, and her impatience and slight social awkwardness make her behavior even more unpredictable. She's as fast as Scout, but slightly slower.

Scout (aka Jeremy) is a hyperactive, incredibly self-assured, and talkative bully from Boston who's used to solving any problem with his fists or a baseball bat. As the youngest of the other eight mercenaries, he's honed his lightning speed to keep up with brawls, making him the fastest and most mobile mercenary on the battlefield. This speed, combined with his double jump and hit-and-run tactics, makes him ideal for aggressive attacks and capturing points, but he also has one of the lowest health pools of all the classes. Scout is insufferably clingy, rude, cocky, loves to troll, thinks he can do anything, enjoys bragging, loves chicken legs, and baseball, and has a soft spot for Miss Pauling.

Cosmo is a helpful and caring, yet also very cautious and anxious, Toon, often seen with his best friend, Sprout. He's brilliant in the kitchen and loves baking sweets for all his friends, and his "Sharing is Caring" ability allows him to donate his HP to allies (he helps the Medic heal, though he's Pyro's assistant, not the Medic's), highlighting his selfless and generous nature. Despite his gentle and somewhat naive personality, he doesn't understand some jokes and can be quite susceptible to teasing, but he's not weak-willed, as demonstrated by his firm refusal to pry into Sprout's secrets. He also has a sensitive side and can be very sensitive to being disliked by others.

Pyro is perhaps the most enigmatic and contradictory character in the game: a psychotic pyromaniac of indeterminate origin who utters no words, communicating only through inarticulate grunts (Mm-p! Mhmph!!) through his gas mask. Behind this frightening exterior lies a childish, even joyful, perception of the world—in his imagination (in the world of Pyroland), he sees not a battlefield, but a utopian fantasy of unicorns, rainbows, and candy, genuinely unaware that he's actually burning people to ashes. This duality makes him menacing and inscrutable even to his allies: for example, Khzhvi, who usually knows no fear, admits that Pyro frightens him. Despite his apparent naiveté, in combat, Pyro is a deadly close-quarters specialist, whose homemade flamethrower not only instantly incinerates enemies but can also knock down projectiles, extinguish allies, and expose enemy Spies. Still a human Frankenstein of indeterminate gender and age, Pyro combines terrifying, uncontrollable strength with an innocent, almost comical madness, making him an iconic character. In his world, fire is confetti or candy, but he wouldn't even understand causing excruciating pain to someone. His source of nutrition is unknown.

Bobette is an enthusiastic Christmas lover who usually inspires everyone around her with her festive energy, affection, and playfulness. She's friendly, always willing to help, and loves to participate in wintertime activities, like inviting V over for hot chocolate (forgetting she's an android) or encouraging Sprout to build gingerbread houses, even though it's long since out of his league. However, behind this cheerful facade lies a more complex nature: Bobette feels underappreciated and overwhelmed by the responsibilities of making and wrapping presents, leaving her with little time for her friends. (But she always makes time.) This suppressed feeling and the envy she hates about herself come out in the open through "cute" murders. She's also chubby and gets along with everyone.

Heavy is a walking contradiction: he resembles a huge, sleepy bear in appearance, and his slow, laconic manner of speech can indeed create a misleading impression of his character. However, behind this apparent apathy (no, not apathy, it's more temporary) lies a keen mind and, perhaps, enthusiasm, along with an immense gentleness and vulnerability, for Heavy is no fool; he simply doesn't like to waste energy on trifles and prefers that those around him shut up until he forces them to, despite his gentleness. Despite his menacing appearance and love of mowing down "tiny people" with his machine gun, he is the face of the game and hails from the USSR. He is, however, rather indifferent to Soviet ideology, although he displays patriotism in small ways. The mercenaries, including the Engineer, Medic, and Bobette, get along well with this "grumpy guy," who, despite his stern demeanor, is very passionate about his work and doesn't mind a sandwich (who am I kidding, he eats one every two minutes) to recharge. He's the tallest of them all: a full 2 ​​meters. He's very fond of his machine guns, which he named:

1. Sasha.
2. Natasha.

Poppy is a cheerful, energetic, and very sociable character, a true extrovert who literally sparkles with optimism. She's not just happy, but fundamentally "optimistic," adores being the center of attention and makes friends easily, yet can be so loud and chatty that she can accidentally fill any lull in conversation. She pays close attention to her appearance and even links her mood to it, constantly complimenting others and offering style advice. Poppy always breaks into a frantic run or walk when damaged by an enemy. Her main weakness is her love of soda, without which she literally can't maintain her frantic pace; however, she turns even her slight absentmindedness and loudness into part of her unique and infectious charm.

The Soldier from Team Fortress 2 isn't just a crazy, jingoistic patriot, but a walking paradox woven from absurdity and tragicomedy. Desperate to fight in World War II, he was rejected by every branch of the US military, but that didn't stop him: he bought a ticket to Europe, found Poland on his own, learned to fire any weapon, and waged a protracted genocide against the Nazis, which he only ended in 1949, upon hearing the war's end. For this "feat," he invented and awarded himself medals. At the same time, he's an extremely durable (200 HP) and mobile class, masterfully using rocket jumps, but completely lacking common sense and a proper understanding of history. Despite his xenophobia and violent temper, he's capable of loyalty, as in the case of Demoman, as well as Poppy, with whom he can sometimes be more or less reasonable. He always wears his helmet and does not take it off, and has also already learned to see through it.

Sprout is a straightforward, overprotective, and pragmatic Toon whose passive ability is aptly named "Overprotective." As the protagonist and a strawberry with a white scarf, he cares deeply for others, sometimes to the point of being clingy, and is terrified of anyone getting hurt. He's more of an ambivert, interacting openly and enthusiastically only with those he's comfortable with (like Cosmo or Ginger [Cosmo's cousin]), and can be abrupt and awkward with others. Despite his stern and assertive demeanor, deep down, Sprout is a caring and kind person—he comforts the insecure and is even willing to bake them a pie, but he can also make unfortunate jokes and hurt others' feelings. He's also a bit clumsy and forgetful (he once started a kitchen fire by forgetting to turn off the oven), and his world revolves around cooking and his best friend, Cosmo, whom he mentions in every other conversation. He might even have a crush on Medic.

The Medic is a deranged Teutonic genius from Germany whose personality is a combustible mixture of sadism, clinical madness, and a warped sense of camaraderie. Raised in an era when the Hippocratic Oath was more of a "non-binding suggestion," he more than compensates for his lack of compassion, respect for dignity, and any proven medical skill with an unlimited supply of needles and the genuine enthusiasm with which he plunges them into flesh. For him, healing is merely a side effect of satisfying his morbid curiosity, and he happily performs cruel, anesthesia-free experiments not only on patients but also on his own comrades, once even implanting baboon hearts into them. Despite this, he displays a perverse care for his team, considering them friends and performing heroic acts, and his friendship with Heavy is a key one in the game. His medical license was revoked after he stole a patient's skeleton. It is very important to notice that he wears gloves and glasses.

Vi is a straightforward and extremely blunt toon who isn't shy about flaunting her superiority and acting arrogant, but beneath this rudeness and sarcasm lies a logical person who wants others to improve. As the host of her own game show and one of the main mascots, she rarely shows emotion other than indifference, but she deeply suffers when she's perceived as nothing more than soulless code or a tool. She's inept at giving compliments and struggles with empathy, having never received it herself (except for the engineer, of course), and carefully conceals her vulnerability behind a mask of confidence. Despite this, Vi is intensely protective of those she cares about, especially Astro, and some dialogue hints at her dislike for Cosmo and Sprout. Her image as a pistachio-green TV-headed android with a confident smirk on her face perfectly captures this contradictory nature: she wants to appear cold and indestructible, but inside she remains soft.

The Engineer (Dell Conagher) is the embodiment of calm, intelligence, and good nature amid the chaos of TF2's mercenaries. This short guy from the Texas town of "Bee Hollow," with 11 PhDs in science and an oil field veteran, prefers to solve practical problems but also philosophize. He loves technology, barbecue, and guns, proudly calling his turret "a sweet little gun." Unlike the others, he's quiet and cool, but his calm is deceptive: in battle, the "mad scientist" awakens, even willing to chop off his own arm for a prosthetic. At the same time, he's a caring comrade who will support the team with his builds and even find common ground with Pyrograph, but for the Spy, he's a sworn enemy. He also loves to play the guitar and is very gentle and caring.

Connie is a mischievous, caustic, and sarcastic ghost-thun who loves to pull pranks and play practical jokes for her own amusement. Despite her charismatic and somewhat deceitful nature, she's a total layperson, though she's occasionally willing to help her friends. Her ghostly nature allows her to phase through walls and use her "Ghost Escape" ability to become invisible and literally vanish for a few seconds to stealthily kill an enemy, which also helps the Spy. Connie hates being called by her full name, Bulynski, and she also has a free-spirited nature.

The Spy is a walking enigma, a sarcastic and charismatic French agent who combines an aristocratic love of sharp suits with an equally keen appetite for betrayal and murder. He is an egocentric introvert, disdainful of his colleagues and preferring the company of his assistant, Connie, but his mask of cold professionalism crumbles when he displays childish glee or destroys enemies with insults. Armed with a disguise kit that allows him to assume the appearance of any mercenary and a watch of invisibility, he infiltrates enemy lines. And if that's not enough, he uses "electric igniters" to disable, explode, and destroy the engineer's buildings. Deadly and incredibly cunning, the Spy is a paradox and a puzzle, a man who cannot be trusted, yet always ready to stab you in the back. However, he won't do this to his own colleagues. He is incredibly squeamish and constantly shakes off his suit and balaclava.

Gigi is a cheerful and very laid-back Toon, always calm and looking for a fun adventure. She's easily excited and loves to prank others, but she also has a dark side—she's obsessed with collecting and constantly steals or "borrows" things from other Toons to replenish her supplies. Her room is a complete mess due to the abundance of things, and she doesn't like sharing. When caught stealing, she denies it and calls it "borrowing," although she might admit it when asked directly, but she still doesn't return the items. Gigi helps Sniper out all the time, for example, by quickly aiming and other things, but she has very low stamina, and her active ability, "Surprise!", gives her a random item from her head. (For example, from candy to the rotten brain of an enemy. There are many other good and bad items.)

The Sniper is a cold-blooded and brutal professional for whom killing isn't madness, but work, and he prides himself on having standards, unlike the "crazy shooter." Growing up in the harsh Australian outback, he spent months wandering alone, which taught him not to rely on others. Now he feels most comfortable in isolation, preferring to stick to the high ground and avoid the front lines. He takes his job seriously, loving it for its fresh air and lucrative paychecks, and while he can be polite and even friendly, he always prioritizes efficiency over social interaction, backing up his famous line, "Professionals have standards," with questionable hygiene and throwing cans of yellow liquids of dubious nature. At the same time, he's not without deep feelings—he's genuinely worried about his adoptive parents' disapproval of his work, and his restraint and composure make him one of the most level-headed mercenaries on the team.

Brightney is a highly intelligent and altruistic lamp, always ready to help and teach others how to solve problems. However, this positivity masks a constant workload—she admits to her friends that she "always has something to think about," and a long to-do list hangs in her room. Despite this, she remains an eternal optimist with a gentle and encouraging voice that instills hope even in the darkest times. She detests negativity and pessimism, constantly cares for her friends after dire situations, and even serves as a moral compass. However, her deep anxiety manifests itself in a fear of the "Great Darkening"—a doubt that her light will always protect others, and her restless nature sometimes conceals something deeper, bordering on madness. She can also kill in various ways using her mind.

Demoman (aka Tavish Finnegan DeGroot) is a perpetually drunk explosives expert from the Scottish town of Ullapool, who calls himself "the Black Scottish Cyclops" (sometimes jokingly). His personality is a volatile mixture: on the one hand, he has a fiery temperament and an obsession with anything explosive (this obsession destroyed his adoptive parents at the age of six), and on the other, he is a professional, masterfully handling grenade launchers and sticky bombs. In combat, he is usually rough and violent, but in everyday life, especially with his mother, he can be polite, reserved, and even rational. However, his habit of being almost always tipsy does not hinder his combat skills or change his invariably bad temper. He is also dependent on alcohol.

Miss Pauling (whose full name is Flo Pauling) is perhaps the only truly "normal" person in the insane world of Team Fortress 2, but her "normality" is merely a calm veneer of ruthless professionalism. As the Administrator's primary confidant and loyal assistant, she carries out any task with chilling composure, from ordering supplies and opening communications channels to orchestrating assassinations and disposing of evidence, and she does it so effectively that...Okay. She operates out of fear of incurring the Administrator's wrath, so she typically defer to her views even when she disagrees with them, but she genuinely believes the Administrator "isn't so bad once you get to know her." Behind all this devotion lies a tireless workaholic who takes only one day off a year and harbors an almost romantic passion for guns—her ideal relaxation is "skating and browsing gun catalogs." She methodically ignores Scout's persistent advances, preferring to solve problems in more practical ways, such as threatening Saxton Hale himself or pulling off daring nighttime heists on his armories, proving that behind the unassuming assistant's façade lies one of the most deadly and calculating individuals in the TF2 universe.
Her tun is missing.

The Administrator is a sadistic mother hen with a razor-sharp voice who gets her kicks from chaos, as she coordinates respawns and triggers gravity anomalies on 2Fort just to annoy the snipers. She hates bureaucracy, but loves to control the Scarecrow, even though she's officially listed as the head of the Relay Station, and her real name and age are classified, just like the composition of Australium, for which she'd sell her own mother without blinking an eye. She knows every mercenary by sight and hates them all with the same passion, but it is her icy laugh over the speakers and sarcastic comments about "teamwork" that drive the teams to fight to the last bullet, because for her, war is not a job, but an art, and the mercenaries are just puppets in her bloody puppet theater, where even Saxton Hale pays her not to smile too widely when another Scout explodes.
Her tun: Dandy.

Twisted Pebble is a massive, dog-like monstrosity that wanders aimlessly around its cage, making heavy, booming footsteps. Originally a pebble-like dog named Pebble, he was transformed into a twisted version after exposure to ichor, though he remained loyal to his master. His appearance has changed dramatically: his four paws have transformed into two cylindrical ichor legs with three claws, and stone "ears" have appeared on his head (they're his hind legs glued on as "ears"). White clover-shaped markings, a nod to Dandy, remain on his cheeks. Twisted Pebble is extremely dangerous due to his high stats: he's one of the fastest Twisteds, with a pursuit speed of 24-25 and an enormous detection range of 125 line of sight and 200 hearing, allowing him to spot anyone from afar. He has no special mechanics or debuffs, but his high stats make him one of the deadliest threats, so he should never be released from his cage. He can be caught, but it takes a lot of effort, and he should only be released if the enemy team has brought a huge army of their own.

Saxton Hale is the embodiment of masculinity and brute strength, a courageous Australian who is the former president and CEO of Mann Co. and the star of his own comic book series, where he fights, drinks, and tames wild animals. This man with an exceptional mustache and sculpted muscles, who refuses to wear a shirt "for obvious reasons," is the fourth-richest person in the United States, a position he achieved by killing the previous holder in a harpoon duel. He solves any problem, including customer service issues, personally and with his fists, and his favorite pastimes are brawls and battles with ferocious animals; while ordinary children sleep with teddy bears, Saxton sleeps with a real bear he tamed in the jungles of Brazil. He is the last of the Hale line to run the company, and his exuberant energy is evident in everything from the corporate slogan "We sell products and we fight" to "Gorilla Wrestling Fridays" to boost employee morale.
He doesn't appear almost anywhere, but his tun: Dale.
