The Courier

Do you like receiving your mail on time and your packages in pristine condition - untouched by curious hands and peeping eyes? Do you love when your woefully embarrassing love letters filled with poetry from your soul are delivered with the utmost care and secrecy? Does it fill you with glee when your special snacks you ordered overseas finally make its way into your hands and not a SINGLE piece is missing?

If you said yes to any of these questions then WOW do I NOT have the guy for you!!!!

Instead-

TFI presents you something you didn't know was possible OR legal - weaponized postal services!

Meet your 10th Class-

The Courier!

By intercepting and opening someone else's mail, an individual can gain access to confidential information that can be used for identity theft, fraud, or other illegal activities. And we wouldn’t want that, now would we? That's why our solution to this simple problem is bringing the mail to the battlefield! Courier is equipped with MANN CO approved disposable stackable mail crates for your climbing or shielding needs. Just think of how nice it would be to build a tower to do taunts on or have cover from that enemy Heavy's hail of bullets. Sure it's clunky but nothing shreds paper faster than a bullet - that's science tested and math approved by TFI scientists! And monkeys!

Courier is THE MANN for the job.

If that ain't enough to catch your attention, let's take a peek at the men behind the uniform.

RED’s Courier is a Puerto Rican ex-felon hailing from the greatest place on earth! New York City! With an insatiable appetite for all things fraud, deli meats, and violence - what more could you ask from a guy?

BLU's Courier is a Puerto Rican-Italian ex-con plucked from the greatest place on earth! Jersey City! With an insatiable appetite for all things smuggling, deli meats, and violence - what more could you ask from a guy?

Not enough for a vote?

Well, listen, I'm not above bribery. If you vote for them, Courier promises to not read your mail for like a week and INSTEAD- will write you up a totally not fraudulent marriage certificate to any merc you want!! Just think! Finally legally married to Heavy! Or Engie! How’s that sound for incentive, boss?

THROUGH RAIN, SHINE, BULLET HAIL OR SNOW, THEY’RE YOUR COURIER.

VOTE FOR COURIER IN THIS UPCOMING TF2 OC CONTEST

Maybe there’ll be enough in the budget for a third one!

Armani & Marcel, The Decoys

When your job description is to be as obnoxious as possible, obviously you’re going to send in a clown! Armani is a Decoy, which means his purpose is to get on the field and draw as much attention to himself as possible. Sure, it probably means he gets killed frequently, but isn’t that half the fun?

Personally, Armani is rough and over the (big)top. He’s Italian, too. If that helps. If it doesn’t ignore that part. He’s got the flowery language exaggerated expressions of a performer and absolutely none of the social tact. He’s loud and in your face and simply does not care! Take him or leave him, baby! (Please take him.)

Marcel is just a guy. A little man. His mime-specific approach to the decoy class means he’s a lot less loud shouting and japes, and a lot more inconvenient tricks and hiding where you just can’t see him. He saves his breath unless he has the chance to be really funny. As a person, Marcel is eccentric and expressive. Cartoonishly so. A man of few words, since said words can only be spoken when he pulls the string on his back, he normally conveys his thoughts through actions instead. He’s annoying, and he wants you to know that specifically. He’s charming enough that he can make people forget how obnoxious he is just long enough for whatever stunt he pulls next to come out of nowhere. Ain’t he just so charming?

The Therapist

You wouldn’t expect an organisation like Team Fortress Industries to invest in something like mental health treatment for its hardened soldiers. The one giving them this generous care is a woman only known by those who work at the company as Therapist - a seemingly well-intentioned lady there to give everything from a shoulder to cry on to someone to seek advice from.

There is a catch, however. Not all the information she gathers from her clients is used for good. Underlying that comforting presence is another tool of oppression used in the company.

That's right, there's a purple one too.

Some information, as well as a super rad bonus image (cw: blood + eye strain), below the cut for those interested:

The Assistant, better known as Mister Pavarotti, is exactly what the name implies: He's a secondary assistant to the administrator, meaning he does similar jobs as his primary coworker, Miss Pauling.

To be more specific, his tasks include but is not limited to: Background checks, ordering and delivery of goods, opening communication channels, close-combat murders (clean-up included), and monthly in-person progress reports on the mercenaries, both RED and BLU teams included.

As for the big man himself: Let me introduce you to Giovanni Pavarotti, an irritable Italian man who becomes nicer the more you get to know him, or simply make his job easier.

He's 5'4", 47 years old, prefers brass knuckles as his weapon of choice, and has a rather large soft spot for the three F's: Food, friends, and family.

And you know, something something guilt and regret, whatever that means

Tf2 10th class oc's! Wahoo!

Super awesome information below the cut for those interested:

The Biohazard class is a support class focused purely on bothering the other team, and thus helping their team get the upper hand.

This is done using a chemical spray that does small amounts of continuous damage (similar to a bleeding effect), smoke screens that hide their team from the opposing team for a small amount of time, and low-damage yet fast-hitting melee weapons for quick in-and-out attacks.

As for the mercenaries themselves:

You've got Antonio, The RED Biohazard; A reserved man of little to no words, his main method being to sneak in, ruin the opposing team's focus, let a teammate nearby attack, maybe get in a few hits of his own if needed, and get away.

Then you've got Alejandro, The BLU Biohazard; A high-energy in-your-face kind of guy, his main strategy being to run right in, attack or distract as necessary, run off, very possibly die in the process, and repeat.

Both of them are Hispanic, 5'11", and 42 years old. This is because, you guessed it, they're twin brothers that somehow ended up on opposing teams of the same job after not seeing or hearing from each other for 20+ years. Isn't that exciting?

They hate each other
