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

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:
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."
I think if Kristoph only killed Zak he would have been 100% justified and should be released from jail

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."
lia and markos belong to @hootsimedes and @robin374!! target belongs to @inputs-chaos!! [no specific propaganda rules listed for lia or markos, target has 1 rule: "Pyro rules, no one gets to see his face!"]
ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!
LIA AND MARKOS: - nothing listed for lia! - "He [markos] is a Basque sailor. He was born the 7th of July, 1933. In 1937, when the bombing of Gernika happened he was 4 years old and he survived along with his two little brothers. Now, he is 35 years old and he is 2,10m tall (thanks to his father's genetics). He became a mercenary because the Spanish army persecuted him for being Basque (taking in count that the TF2 universe is in 1968 more or less), so he went to America alone. He owns a whaling ship from his mother's family. He is an extrovert, he likes talking to people and making them laugh, he knows a lot about alcohol. Man is dumb, like literally. He ate one of Medic's mega baboon hearts because Soy made him believe they were strawberry flavored. Or he didn't know that the enemy Demo was flirting with him until a year later. Idk I just feel like he's really dumb, he also doesn't care about anything.He doesn't know Spanish and he finds a bit difficult to talk in English, expect him to talk to you in Basque. And I'll shut up now lmao"
TARGET: - "Target is just the most stressed and anxious person. He's living a double life and is lying to everyone. He is the most stubborn thing alive." _ "Reasons to vote for the Target: He's your all around fill in teammate, whenever you're down a member he'll step in. He snaps up weapons from corpses, meaning he can use most of the enemy counterpart's weapons of the guy you're missing. (There are limits in place, he can't pick up ammo or gain any ammo save for what the weapon he picks up had. Or have more than one of each type of weapon) (He also can't pick up melees) Off the battlefield, his job is to test weapons himself, or erm. Be target practice. For his teammates. ... There should never be more than one Target on the battlefield. For several reasons, one being that if both teams are down a member, it's fair in the administrator's eyes. The other being that there's only one guy. He's very stressed about being found out."

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!
JUNE: - "He's a silly little guy that loves spiders and deals with unimaginable amounts of existential dread" - "This is Spy-der! A class swap OC between Soldier and Spy. He is a clone and is intensely positive and aggressively genuine in everything he does. He will violently sucker punch good vibes into his friends by yelling compliments with an unnecessary amount of swear words because that's how he expresses his love <3 He also loves spiders and his disguise is literally sharpie drawings of the mercs drawn onto his helmet which he flips over his face. It somehow works."
KATHLEEN: - "REASONS I THINK KATHLEEN SHOULD WIN > silly > lesbian and dating ms. pauling > naturally suspicious of mann co not bc its doing anything "wrong" but because admin is stressing ms. pauling out and thats not good >:( - actually she's suspicious of engineer but just bc she finds it odd how mann co hired his grandpa on the opposing team (BLU) while engie is on her team (RED) but aside from that she doesnt gaf.. > taxidermy and vulture culture girlie - makes taxidermy for her friends :3 > big and top-heavy (awooga) > fellow spy hater (her mother was a spy too, not The spy but im making a spy oc who's her mother)" - "OKAY SOOOURRR kathleen is a lousianian girl, joining the mercs bc her speciality is disarmament - she straight up takes the weapons out of the enemys hands and uses it against them. this is usually melee weapons but i like to think she can take and revv up heavys minigun for a solid 5 seconds before she drops it. her lore's a bit sad :( mom was a spy and did the typical spy thing (left) and her father was nice but is MIA due to battle (field medic). now she's following her dad's footsteps in being in war, not as a medic, but as a merc !!!! and she's damn good at it too >:D"
