planning Team Fortress 2: the new team

[~Sole~ 852]

The Red and Blu mercenary teams have been fighting a very long time, so they decide to go on a group vacation! But the administrator, as we all know, hates fun. So after grudgingly allowing the two teams their much appreciated break, she hires a group of fresh new faces to kill each other for her amusement. Can the newbies survive? Lets Find out!

 

Rules:

 

1. Same forum rules apply here

2. No godmodding

3. Listen to me, I'm da boss in these parts

4. Only one person per class, per team. Sorry, I don't want five spies and four engies lol

5. The mercs must be one of the 9 classes from the game, but you can make up your own character of said class

 

Character form (example):

Age: 23

Class: Demoman

Team: Blue

Gender: male

Real name: Dante Cross

Hair: spiky white

Clothes: wears a black headband that holds up his spiky hair, and has a scar running across his cheek. He wears torn black jeans and combat boots with a black sleeveless top over a Blu tee shirt.

Personality: with a love of war, a quick temper, and a strange addiction to sunflower seeds, this demoman is quick to attack and often does so unprovoked. His hobbies include blowing people up, chopping off heads, and sunflower seeds... Don't ask.

 

Characters:

 

Me: Blue Demoman (Dante cross)

RAGE: Red Sniper (Drake Ashton)

Edited May 8, 2014 by ~LoSt SoLe~

[RAGESTAR 479]

Age: 21

Class: Sniper

Gender: Male

Team: red

Real name: Drake Ashton

Hair: Messy, mid-length blond hair, just shy of covering his eyes.

Clothes: Sneakers, blue jeans with tears in the knees, sunglasses, a red zip-up hoodie (usually left unzipped) a black Metallica T-shirt, and a pair of skull candy headphones (he almost never takes them off, and never goes anywhere without them. He says that his music helps him focus his shots, but with heavy metal blaring at max, it's a bit hard to believe him. However, for what it's worth, despite the music, he's never been caught off guard)

Personality: Drake is very mellow and calm, speaking with a very relaxed and almost lazy tone to everyone he speaks to, even when faced with a life or death situation. He has a very laid back and care free attitude, spending his free time doing nothing but listening to his music and reading his favorite manga, preferably while perched in a tree, window, roof, or any other high up place he can find. Despite his lazy and care-not nature, Drake is a very focused and precise marksman, and rarely ever misses a target. However, when it comes to melee combat using his kukri, he's hopeless. In fact, if given the choice to fight in melee combat or flee, he's been repeatedly advised to turn tail.

ALL MY YES!

 

Age: 35

Class: Spy

Gender: Male

Real Name: Gregory

Team: Red

Hair: No-one knows what's under his beret, not even him

Clothes: Wears a jumpsuit designed to look like a red tuxedo, underneath however, is a shirt for the popular "You Tiny Horsey" show, which only a few people know about. He'd rather keep it that way as well.

Personality: Tends to be traitorous, often blackmailing as well with "those pictures" of you and the Heavy's sister. Other than that, when he's on break, he tends to listen to classical music, symphonic metal, progressive deathcore, hardstyle and djent. As well as listening to music, he tends to be friendly to everyone he meets, until he sees a time fit, that is. After several years in the espionage business, he has learnt to use his knife first and foremost, often taking down minigun-toting meatheads with his knife alone. His initial attitude towards you is most likely friendly, and you can't help but trust him, until he starts pulling out "those pictures." Or his knife.

THERE WAS A TF2 ROLEPLAY.... AND NOPONY TOLD ME?!

 

Age: 25

Class: Engineer

Gender: Male

Team: BLU

Real name: Alex Jones

Hair: Black, mid-length

Clothes: Standard engineer outfitting (hard-hat, gloves, goggles). Jeans, boots, a t-shirt (usually with a video game theme) and a plaid button-down shirt. Also has a blue watch.

Personality: Alex is usually a friendly, excited, funny guy. When it comes to his buildings, however, he is usually very focused and pays close attention to them. He can construct strong and powerful buildings quickly and efficiently, and also places them in strategic locations to devastate his enemies. He absolutely hates spies, however, and has trouble fighting them off. He also plays video games as a hobby.

Hmmm... Love tf2, must join. The only problem I can see is the Pyro

 

Character form

Age: 26

Class: Medic

Team: RED

Gender: male

Real name: Henry Mckoy

Hair: Short, Blonde hair

Clothes: Other than the standard medic wear- he is wearing a Bow tie instead of a tie, and wears the "Angel of Death" cosmetic item. As for his hat, he wears the Grimm Doctor, and has mecha-Medes.

Personality: A good friend to those on his team, he cannot stand to see someone in trouble. He enjoys talking to those who talk to him, and has a habit of pocketing just so he can continue to chat. But in battle, his main focus is to heal his friends while staying behind cover. He tries to avoid taking damage, but if who he is healing falls, he will take out his needle gun to attack while retreating.

[SnipSnap 432]

Character form:

Age: 19

Class: Scout

Team: Blu

Gender: Male

Real name: Rob Hicksons

Hair: Straight, short hair

Clothes: Has a yellow tee-shirt, wear white gloves, long grey pants, and a cap

Personality: Kind, willfully generous, and energetic, yet has a great taste for battle and fights, he is one of those guys that everyone loves to hang around with, although at times, he can get edgy, but it happens rarely. He has a good sense of humor. If at a last resort, with no other way, he will volunteer to sacrifice himself for his friends. But when he's around with his enemies, you do not want to get in his way, as he will use his wits and strength against his opponents. He always likes to carry his bat around, because, as he says, "for luck and hard beating".

[Firehearted 120]

Age: 24
Class: Sniper
Team: Blu
Gender: male
Real name: Jackson "Atlas" Boyd

Hair: Short, dirty blond hair
Clothes: Hiking boots, khaki cargo pants, blue T-shirt, leather jacket, and a fedora
Personality: Cool headed, friendly, and polite. He is a generally friendly person who watches out for the people he considers friends. When frustrated or angry he is quick to lash out verbally at anyone. When in combat he gets a bit edgy about everything around him. He refuses to target: unarmed, retreating wounded, medics unless they are attacking him directly.

​(Would have added more but I'm tired and it's getting late where I am)

[~Sole~ 852]

You are all accepted! I'll have to update the list later though, and wait for a few more people, so sorry for the delay guys.

[Dawn Wing 113]

Age: 23

Class: Pyro

Team: Red

Gender: Female

Real Name: Suri (Pedro) Tannek

Hair: Long curly orange-red hair that looks like flames.

Clothes: Wears a half mask over her face and nose, but takes it off and leaves it hanging around her neck when she isn't in battle. She wears a red tee shirt under a black bomber jacket, dark grey jeans, and black rubber boots.

Personality: Like the last Pyro she's a little screw-loose. It could be that she's breathed in too much fumes. She has a split personality named Pedro that she argues with. This could partially be why she has anger-problems. She also likes to watch her enemies die a slow, painful death. Some people just want to see the world burn.

[Umbral Noir 1,556]

Oh I am so up for this! Bit busy at the moment, but I'll write one up later today!

[FullMetalDash 194]

Age:30

Class: Soldier

Team:RED

Gender:Female.

Real name: Ilse Klitsjenko.

Hair:Messy,dark blond.

Clothes:Army boots, red vest, black cargo pants, a urban camo cap.

Personality:She likes to go for a adventure. Mostly doesn't think about the consquences if she did something. She likes to take occational smoke.

[Umbral Noir 1,556]

Ok! Here it is:

 

Team: BLU

Class: Spy

Age: 20

Real name: Alfred "Al" Wooster

Gender: Male

Hair: Short, neat, light brown

Clothes: Navy dinner suit, with navy jacket, bow tie and trousers, white shirt, and brown shoes. Sometimes wears a bowler hat.

Additional information:

Polite and well spoken, Al is a true English gentleman. Always there to hold the door open for you, be it friend or foe. It IS after all, the easiest way to expose an enemy's back. To his friends and colleagues though, he is usually friendly and good natured, enjoying a chat or sharing a good natured laugh with them.

Relatively new to the spying business, he has nonetheless shown prowess in disguise and stealth, going completely unnoticed by most enemies until it's too late. He is skilled in close quarters combat, having trained long and hard to master karate, which he began at the early age of 5. His skill with a knife is also admirable. Unfortunately, he is not very good with firearms, and so rarely uses his Ambassador.

He has a slight addiction to tea drinking, with a cup in his hand at every opportunity he gets. A cool headed individual, he is slow to anger. When angered however, he becomes nothing short of psychotic. The one thing you certainly do NOT want to do, is mistake him for being French...

This sounds so awesome already! I can't wait for this to start! If you don't mind me asking though, how will the result of a fight between two players (say, the two spies confront each other, and have a one-on-one fight) be determined? Just wondering

 

@@Grapz224

I'm going to gut you like a Cornish game hen

[~Sole~ 852]

Not sure, probably just use some sort of dice system if it's the same class. But most of the time I wanted to settle the fights with the classes counters, or so,etching similar. Besides, it's not as important since they have infinite respawn lol

[Grapz224 137]

@,

as far as I understand, the normal counters go like this:

Class: Counter

Scout: Pyro, Heavy, Engineer

Soldier: Pyro, Heavy

Pyro: Sniper, Heavy,

Demoman: Pyro, Sniper, Soldier

Heavy: Spy, Engineer, Demoman

Engineer: Spy, Soldier, Demoman, Pyro

Medic: All unless Ubered

Sniper: Spy, Close range Combat

Spy: Pyro, Medic/Heavy combo

 

that's using my personal experiences in the game. I should note I main Pyro, so I think Highly of him. :okiedokielokie:

@@Grapz224, @,

I reckon both of your ideas with the dice roll and the counter are perfect. I would say that you have a roll off to see who kills who, with the counter requiring a 4, but the other class requiring a 5 or 6, using a D6, or you could use 2D6 for each of them. In the 2D6 case, I would suggest the counter needs to get an 9 to kill, whilst the other class needs a 10. What do you think of the mechanic?

[~Sole~ 852]

Not quite sure, I've honestly never used a dice system before, but I've heard it works pretty well

[Umbral Noir 1,556]

@ @@Grapz224 @

 

That sounds good to me! Though what happens in the case where it's a draw? Would it be assumed that the counter would win in the event of a draw, due to outclassing their opponent?

[RaptorJaysus 178]

@,

I didn't really think about that too much, but that sounds good.

@,

I'm familiar with dice systems, playing 40K and all. If you have any questions about dice systems, I could probably answer them.
