ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

ROBIN: - "So uh, my guy, Robin, they're a Non binary (he/they) scout who accidentally got cursed by merasmus to become a shape shifting octopus monster, but honestly he's having a fucking blast! Instead of carrying a bag like most scouts they carry a cooler full of bonk and occasionally a beer or three. They don't have a Mom and was raised by their adopted Dad (a BLU spy named Francis) and has no idea what he's doing. He joined RED to pay his college debt, he's a forensic scientist! They're 26 years old, and have a boyfriend named Levi! He's even got a tattoo of his name on his wrist" - "I have no clue he's just a silly guy"

AARANG: - "He's super hot and emo" - "He's not actually from the 1900s like the rest of mercs but is actually an ex kpop star that accidentally time traveled . also he's gumiho (nine tailed fox) and he didn't notice. Also he's made a deal with a demon whose just his cat now. Also he's bestirs with scout and they do foolish activities. He's also bisexual also(i could talk about him forever)"

I got lazy half way through so spy remains legless

ROUND 1, MATCH 6

june belongs to @a-scary-lack-of-common-sense!! kathleen belongs to @froyocorp!! [no specific propaganda rules listed from either blog!]

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"

ROUND 1, MATCH 7

dante belongs to @fairysbrew!! bugeye belongs to @tepikvinxi!! [no specific propaganda rules listed from either blog!]

ABOUT OUR CONTESTANTS UNDER THE CUT!

DANTE: - "he's silly! he's a funny little guy and i like him :) he should win because he's so very cool" - "aaaaa!!!! ok so poisoner is a little guy :] he's a cocky little shit who has literally no health (base hp is 105) but thinks he can take on literally everyone (he can't). he's kinda creepy & he joined mann co because he got expelled from college for releasing a bunch of rats. i think he's funky! :D he's 5'2" and transgener (very cool)"

BUGEYE: - "Kinda sticking to og pyro traits here. Given his name he has a love for bugs and has weird little bug lenses and antenna added on it's mask. Mask is usually on. Honestly i dont have much, it's just a silly bug guy."

yeah

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."
