Mechanic Details and Relationships with the mercs (With pictures)
What it says on the tin: stuff about the Mechanic :)
Backstory:
Studied Psychology and took AP science classes in high school, but always had a passion for hands-on fields
She started working in a car-repair shop outside of school to earn some money for her family
She discovers her love for machines
She couldn't go to college because her family was pretty poor so she devoted her time to getting better at working with machines to keep them with a roof over their heads
Established herself as a good mechanic but still wasn't making enough to comfortably sustain her family
enter RED
She basically threw herself at the job because it not only paid tons but also had the role of Engineer, which she applied for
She didn't have a college education so they stuck her as an apprentice under the Engineer we all know and love
More details under the cut
Personality:
Seeks the infinite knowledge of the universe
pretty laid back
Doesn't talk all that much (unless someone's talking about a topic that interests her, in which case she can and will talk for hours)
Relationship with the rest of the Mercs
Scout:
Sibling rivalry type relationship
They get along well but they poke fun at each other a lot
Doesn’t talk much x will talk enough for both of them
Soldier:
Mechanic looks up to him
If he is going to do something stupid she is 100% on board
Soldier believes wholeheartedly that Mechanic is actually his trainee and not Engineer’s
Engineer has stopped trying to correct him; it does no good anyway
Pyro:
She’s a little scared of them
After seeing them lock a bunch of BLU’s in a building and then burn the building down she’s not all that keen to get near them
She kept a polite distance (because she wasn’t raised to be an asshole) until Pyro gave her a drawing they made of her
After that she would die for them
#1 pyro defender
On the battlefield she’s still a tad spooked of them
Engineer:
teacher-student relationship
She wants to immediately get into the super complicated stuff; he wants to make sure she’s ready before he throws her into the deep end
She’s good at creating stuff with what she’s got and making things up as she goes (even if the resulting machines are a little janky), meanwhile he can create really high-end machines in a short amount of time as long as he’s able to plan them out and blueprint them beforehand, so they’ve both got stuff they can learn from each other
Mech begs and pleads to be able to take apart some of Engineer’s machines to see how they work from the inside, but Engineer’s a little protective of his stuff so he always says no
When he finally says yes she understands the display of trust and is eternally grateful
Engineer wants her to reach her full potential, but he also knows that if he tells the Administrator that she’s ready to be an Engineer herself then she’d be moved to a different team and they’d likely never see each other again
He’s a little conflicted because he and the team are pretty attached to her (Mech eventually finds out that he’s been holding back on telling Admin that she’s qualified enough and this leads to a pretty big argument)
Heavy:
She was incredibly intimidated of him at first
When she first joined, she referred to everyone as ‘Sir’ (because she was raised to be respectful) and long after she started getting more comfortable with everyone she still called Heavy ‘sir’
On the other hand, Heavy was polite but didn’t really respect her since he respects strength (as seen in that one halloween comic) but he was willing to give her a chance
Once he saw her beat a BLU to death with her Welding Gun (and then her bare hands when she was disarmed) she had earned his respect
After nearly beating Soldier in an arm-wrestling contest he respected her a little more
At some point, Sasha starts to malfunction (she wasn’t broken yet, but it was clear she was well on her way) and Mech notices and offers to fix her for Heavy
Heavy agrees as long as he’s there to watch the entire time
Once Mech fixes her and she’s good as new, their relationship as friends is pretty much secured
Once Mechanic learned about what Heavy would do for his family her respect for him went through the roof
Demo:
Mech is the designated Sober Chaperone™ most of the time so they spend a good bit of time together
Other than that, Mech is always down to listen to Demo’s stories, whether they be tales from his youth or stories of various monsters/magical creatures
They’re pretty good pals
Begs and pleads for him to show her how to make some of his bombs
He agrees easily; he has her watch him do it at first, then has her do it with his help, then lets her make on all on her own
They make bombs together often after that and they only end up in respawn (or in medic’s office) a couple times
Medic:
They get along really well
Medic talks about anything from current experiments to medical jargon to how the medigun works and Mech listens attentively
Weird x Weirder
Sniper:
Mech thought Sniper didn’t like her and Sniper thought Mech didn’t like him for a very long time
They just sorta politely avoided each other because of that
But divine intervention (or something idk) brought them closer together
These two are more similar than they initially thought
Spy:
Mech was indifferent to him at first (yk, being polite and all) but grew to dislike him
Something something bad father something something he’s an asshole something something BLU Spy being a prick skewed her opinion of RED Spy too
Spy doesn’t know what he did to get her to dislike him (Sorting through the list of things he’s done would take too long) so he just returned her slight hostility
She’s not outwardly rude to him or anything, but she doesn’t go out of her way to talk to him
Eventually she starts to not dislike him as much and their relationship shifts to that of a friendly (in the loosest definition of the term) rivalry
Enjoy my crappy drawings and probably awful grammar throughout this :)
