Assault on Sandbox OOC

[Flagmauth]

Starting things off in my grand tradition of MASSIVELY BADASS MUSIC VIDEOS, we have here the TF2 sandbox. I'll be posting guidelines to making characters.

With VERY FEW exceptions, your character must be one of the nine TF2 classes and on one of the four teams. The four teams are:
Reliable Excavation and Demolition (RED)
Builders League United (BLU)
Yeomen League Operatives (YLO)
Global Resource Network (GRN)

As may be obvious each team's members are color-coded, i.e. a RED Heavy has red clothing. That should be easy to understand.

The nine classes (each of whom have their own unlockable weapons and hats too! and can be female, if you find the right fanart.) are:
The Scout
The Soldier
The Pyro
The Demoman
The Heavy
The Engineer
The Medic
The Sniper
The Spy

As stated above there are a VERY few exceptions to this. Pretty much NO tenth class can appear (or at least Spycro will kill them instantly and sabotage their respawn). There are other characters, however. Also additional hats and weapons can be used that aren't in the actual game, for example the Femscout's Nailgun and Hockey Stick.

And of course these are hardly hard and fast guidelines - a Spy can use a shotgun, for example, they just normally don't.

Current characters:
Please note this described the character's trademark weapons and equipment - they can change their loadout as necessary.

Seriously? Nobody's posting yet? Don't make me bring out the robots.

[A Blind Guy]

(didn't know this existed until now)

[Frenchie]

By the way, that music video was epic, and I want to be a huge dude with a mini gun named Jorge (reference alert!)

[Flagmauth]

Go right ahead, you're a heavy (presumably with cosmetics to look like whatever you want Jorge to look like)

[Flagmauth]

Frenchie what team is Jorge on? RED, BLU, GRN or YLO?

[Frenchie]

Blue

[Flagmauth]

It's called a dispenser Luft This isn't MC CTF.

[99luftballons]

Just checking if you were paying attention   .

[Flagmauth]

Right, edited the OP to include references on each class.

[Flagmauth]

Continuing to work on the OP.

[Scotsmen]

Alright, I'm gonna join as a RED Pyro. Equipment includes Flamethrower (clearly), Combat Knife, and a couple Grenades.

[Flagmauth]

Added to the OP

[Scotsmen]

Just wanna point out that I know practically nothing of TF2.

[Flagmauth]

So I shall now work on making halfway decent female versions of the various classes. Ie not just clones of the originals with some breasts tacked on and voices kicked up an octave. Currently the scout is from Jersey, the sniper is from South Africa, the spy is from Japan and I haven't thought much about the rest. I think the soldier should be Israeli and either the demo woman or the heavy should be from Latin America somewhere, perhaps Cuba Mexico or brazil. Anyone have any thoughts?

[Scotsmen]

Sounds good to me.

[Flagmauth]

Right. Now that I'm off work and don't have to post one-handedly off my iPod during my break, I can go into more detail about my prospects. I don't care what you think of your own ideas, chuck 'em out here. I'm too nice to hit you in the face for them, so don't have fear Backstory ideas would be appreciated too, so long as they fit in with the vanilla TF2 things.
Fem!Scout: As she's been in the RP, fairly tomboyish, loudmouthed and annoying, from Jersey and specializes in roller hockey instead of baseball. Her skates act like an unlockable item replacing her pistol or Guillotine (a la the Bootlegger or Gunboats for Male!Demo or Male!Soldier) giving her the ability to ram others at high speed but lowering precision movement. Hence why she had skates early on but doesn't anymore (switched them out for the Guillotine)
Fem!Soldier: I don't know about this one, but an Israeli would be pretty badass. Perhaps give her an Uzi instead of a shotgun then.
Fem!Pyro: Essentially no difference from the normal Pyro - we already don't know the normal Pyro's gender
Fem!Demoman: Will need a new name, for obvious reasons. I'm not sure what we could do here, but maybe Latina of some variety. Or Jamaican, if we wanted to also have her be black like her counterpart. Maybe a different origin, too? Alchemist/potion brewer?
Fem!Heavy: No clue, perhaps Scandinavia?
Fem!Engineer: Basically the one from the casserole video except Canadian or Minnesotan instead of Texan. Maybe Californian with a silly Valley Girl-type accent from Caltech.
Fem!Medic: Also don't know, anyone got any ideas?
Fem!Sniper: As stated previously, South African soldier-y type professional
Fem!Spy: Japanese ninja-type assassin, kills with neck-chops instead of a knife in the back.

[Scotsmen]

As I said before, I know nothing of TF2, but what you've written down there sounds good. Here are my suggestions:

FemHeavy: Yeah, having a tall Norwegian sounds about right. (Although honestly, Americans are heavy enough, don't you think? )
FemMedic: I think having a berserk Scotswoman could work, or possibly German? Considering that the male Medic is German.

[Flagmauth]

Thing is, there's a whole hell of a lot of Americans already. Scout's from Boston, Soldier's from...somewhere in 'Muricka, Engie's from Texas, Femscout's from Jersey and Femgineer may be from America as well. So she'll probably be some fat enormous valkyrie, which sounds amusing.

As for the Fem!Medic suggestions, berserk Scotswoman sounds too much like the Demoman and I'd rather not lapse into using the same origin as the male Medic, since I'm trying to do other stuff with them. Your help is appreciated, though!

[Scotsmen]

Like I said, I know nothing of TF2. And the Heavy American thing was a joke.

[Flagmauth]

Right; I think Gaara's left the forum so scratch one Jorge, apparently.

[Scotsmen]

Rolling for melting.
