[cam and jr. propaganda rule: nothing sexual rene and alois propaganda rules: nothing overly suggestive + only ship them with eachother]

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

RENE AND ALOIS: - "He [alois] is literally babygirl. Light of this world. Killed his dad and uses his skull as a paperweight--oops. Medics have to have SOMETHING going on. - "Alois is like, if you took the classic himbo archetype and made him like, less stupid and a little more chaotic. A little. He's the type of man who would steal a dog if it was being abused by its owner. He also loves baking, and animals, and babies, and baby animals. He literally attracts strays, like his cat Margaretha and his husband Rene." - "he's [rene] like, THE tumblr sexyman archetype. If you know, you know. He's Ballister before the Nimona movie came out." - "He's [rene] a poor little meow meow, he's the most pathetic spy to walk this earth, he is a sad cringefail little man, and his joints snap crackle and pop when he does parkour. He's so competent and yet the world is stacked against him. The L in Lambert stands for LOSER!!!"

CAM AND JR: - "they clean up dead bodies all the time and deserve some recognition for it. :D👍" - "Cam(25) and Jr(13) are janitors hired by the administrator to clean up after every battle the RED and BLU teams have, because when your battle field is covered in dead bodies it’s not very efficient for fighting. When Cam was in her first year of college, doing forensic sciences, she attempted to burn down her college in order to get a free degree. She was caught and is now on the run with her little sister, Jr. Cam is friends with Demoman and Ms. Pauling, Jr is friends with Pyro and has a very chaotic sibling dynamic with Scout!"

ROUND 1, MATCH 3

armani belongs to @friendlyengie!! phantom belongs to @midori-berry!! [no propaganda rules for armani, 1 rule for phantom: "feel free to draw her either red or blu, no shipping please as she's ace"]

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

ARMANI: - "Don’t you want to see a beautiful fat Italian clown get his rightful wins. He’s committed petty crime. Hes run from the cops. He’s attacked hecklers in crowds with his bare hands. He’s great with kids. He has a giant hammer. He’s a support class. Look at him." - "Armani Barone is a disgraced clown who Just recently lost his job as a clown slash lackey at a traveling shady circus (Its very mafia parody inspired . Because . Tf2 worldbuilding ) after being caught disposing bodies while in uniform, going against the clown code of ethics. In a desperate “fuck You” he stole as much shit as possible from his employers and ran. As a result, they’re currently hunting him down! They appear during Halloween sometimes as a little event for the team. But aside from the eternal target on his back, he’s thriving. Hes a very colorful and obnoxious little guy whose primary objective is to draw attention to himself on the field. He operates mostly on looney tunes logic (but Can be killed, thankfully!)"

PHANTOM: - "she has cool ghost powers and is so so sleepy" - "Ok so she's a 10th class and she can possess the other team and even possess sentries and dispensers to help her team, as well as having other ghost powers. She loves sharks too, and thinks they're neat"

Like this ig? Idk this is the only time I've drawn him-

YOU, TF2 ARTIST.

HOW DO YOU DRAW ENGINEER.

manfred von karma shoulder boulders parody called shoulder bullets

Since I only talked about his backstory, lemme give y'all some trivia!

-He's very bisexual

-He generally finds himself attracted to men but really all it takes to win him over is being strong; y'know that one audio that's like "I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me"? That's him

-He's besties with Pauling; they were originally kinda awkward as both of them wanted to work alone (Novak didn't wanna risk blowing his cover and Pauling didn't need any help) but eventually they warmed up to each other

-However they're still shrouded in mystery, neither of them know anything about each other's past

-He has a bias for Scout cuz he reminds him of his brother; in the same vein, he has a bias against Spy for treating Scout the way he does (Not like Novak's any better as he left his family just barely after Meredith died-)

-If you couldn't tell, he dyes his hair; his original hair color is brown

-Lightweight; if he has a single drop of one of Demo's bottles he will die

-Similarly, he has a low tolerance for spice

-Extremely competitive; he's a very chill guy otherwise but if you beat him at uno he'll insult your entire family (Then later feel bad about it and apologize)

-Kind of a terrible flirt; he has his moments occasionally but usually it'll sound smth like "Are u a construction worker? Because you are building"

-In the same vein, he doesn't know how to react when people flirt with him; even if it's a bad line, he'll be taken aback

-When demonstrating interest in someone, he much prefers being direct about his attraction but ain't no way in hell he's doing that; imagine being upfront about your feelings lmao

ROUND 1, MATCH 11

novak belongs to @pheonixsupportsyou!! granny belongs to @pi!! [no specific propaganda rules listed from either blog!]

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

NOVAK: - "I mean he doesn't have to [win] but he's like my favorite oc ever so it'd be cool if he did :P" - i couldnt fit the entire backstory into the post so i copy-pasted what was written about novak into a google doc:

Google Docs

ASHER BACKSTORY BY PHOENIXSUPPORTSYOU

I still wanna make a few tweaks to his backstory but I'll try to summarize what I've written down so far in a concise manner: So, Asher was

GRANNY: - "She's got nothing better to do and misses getting in fights." - "She's a retired ex-spy who wasn't dragged back in for one final job as much as she snuck up on her old boss demanding to be given many more jobs until she physically cannot do them. TF Industries is just one that lets her really stretch her old Spy Legs as well as some new spy legs. She's very good at poisons and stabbing, she's not that fast these days so clever positioning is how she has to make it or break it. All her affectations are to make strong, young mercenaries have to learn how good she is the hard way."

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

ROUND 1, MATCH 4

dee belongs to @midori-berry!! faith belongs to @jesi-jess!! [no propaganda rules for dee, 1 for faith: "Don't misgender, change skin tones, or their body types pls. Other then that have fun ;o;/"]

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

DEE: - "He's the prettiest cherry blossom themed sniper I know of and he has a sick robot leg and robot eye and he's also really really gay as well." - "Okay so for this guy he got injured in an explosion that was meant to kill his parents (who were also mercenaries but for a different non mann co affiliated group) and then mann co swoops in and offers him this cool robot leg and robot eye so he's like woah yeah thats pretty cool the leg has LEDs but then he didn't read what he was signing when he got them so now he's a sniper :) He used to not like fighting but now he's used to it. He lives in a campervan but it's actually quite nice andd not a complete mess. he loves gardening (tho the flower on his hat is fake shh dont tell anyone) and is (not so) secretly into dressing up and doing drag in his spare time"

FAITH: - "She is the cutest ghost talking expert around and knows not only how to fight but win (With her ghost friends). Jokes aside just entering for fun~" - "Faith Dawn is a happy and outgoing woman with high hopes and curiosity for the world around her. Faith, despite how dark it is for such a happy person, is able to see ghosts and talk to them. In her eyes, though death can be tragic, there is always a way to find happiness in the aftermath. It’s because of these talents she was hired on as a Scout for Mann Co."
