um … compilation
Is the quick, hard to catch, messenger.
If Sniper sees something in the horizon, he can yell it down to Scout and he will pass it to Captain Pauling.
Sometimes after getting treasure, Scout will pick out the most beautiful jewels and give them to Captain Pauling, though she doesn't accept them or pretends to accept them and pours them back with the rest of the treasure.
When Engineer orders to let down or roll up the sail, he's the first one to get up and execute his order.
Sometimes tries to steal some treasure for himself, but quickly gets scared off by Pyro who guards it.
He thinks he's the captain of the ship, but actually he directly informs the crew of Captain Pauling's orders and is kind of a leader of the crew, not a captain.
He's the one who suggests battle strategies to Captain Pauling. Some good, some bad, some risky...
Just like if he were on land, he watches over the crew, making them finish all the food on their plates, making sure their duties are done, you know all the good stuff.
Makes sure everyone has taken something after a raid, doesn't matter what it is, though it's preferable for it to ne treasure.
Helps Demoman with the cannons by lighting and firing them.
Makes sure the oil lamps across the ship are lighted because they're such a firebug.
Also, they're mesmerized by treasure: gold, jewels, pearls...So, they make a pretty good guard for it.
Their job, when the crew stops by an island, is gathering firewood so they don't have rip parts off the ship to start a fire.
No one knows how they do it, but they manage to rid the ship of mice and other pests. Some crew members might find it gross, but Medic couldn't be more thankful, they're making sure the diseases that the pests carry doesn't spread onto their team.
If the crew attacks and raids another ship, they're the last to leave, so they can set the ship ablaze.
Is in charge of cannons and and firing them and has Pyro as a helper.
Keeps the cannons in good condition because it's important to him that his team can make effective attacks toward the enemy.
During battle, he not only fires cannons but also throws bombs by hand to hit the enemy in more vulnerable spots.
In close range combat he usually smashes a bottle's bottom and uses the sharp glass to attack or something he made himself, like the Pain Train.
Is responsible for making sure gunpowder is always available.
Either steals alcohol or brews it himself on the ship in big barrels.
Also, is weirdly obsessed with cryptid sea creatures, you know, the Kraken, sirens, mermaids, etc.
The one that takes care of the ship and helps with steering it.
Despite it being the 1600s or something, he might find a way to put a motor on the ship to make it more controllable.
Is the one who orders to let down or roll up the sails.
Always carries a map and is responsible for letting Captain Pauling know which direction the wind is going and what weather might await them.
Fixes up the ship after encounters from other pirates.
Breaks up fights or disagreements between the crew and is like their supervisor.
Helps Heavy prepare meals for the crew.
Basically carries the entire ship and crew because he can do so many things.
He is your stereotypical big guy who does most of the heavy lifting.
Helps everyone on the ship. Carries the gunpowder for the cannons, helps Medic carry the food, carries whatever treasure they've found or stolen, helps Engie improve the ship, etc.
I also got the feeling like he would be the cook along with Engie. Like, sure he carries heavy barrels around all day, but this lets him relax for a bit.
Is more experienced with cooking soup in big rations, so he can feed the whole crew.
He is..well..the medic.
Insists on going to exotic islands to find both animals to experiment on and all kinds of fruit, seeds and herbs.
Makes sure his team has enough food to survive and be healthy (He worries most about citrus fruits, so no one gets scurvy)
Each time one of them gets sick he uses the herbs he has found or grown to make tea or some other brew for them.
Has his own slightly cramped office in the ship where he has herb pots as well as animal organs in jars.
When they attack another ship, he immediately gets whatever he can to aid his team with.
Just like Demo, obsesses over mythical sea creatures.
He's the one who sits at the very top of the mast, looking out for any other ships or islands.
Once Sniper spots something significant, he lets Scout know and he tells it to Ms. Pauling.
Draws crude maps by observing his surroundings, he later gives them to Engie so he can make them more understandable.
Either has a parrot or befriends seagulls to keep him some sort of company.
Or he eats them, he takes his work very seriously, so he would do anything for him to not have to come down. (Jarate still haunts him, even in the 1600s)
If the weather is okay, he won't even come down from his mast and sleep up there.
Ok, first, he sometimes disguises himself and signs up for a different crews journey, switching outfits when they stop at a port.
He sails with this crew for, sometimes, months, examining everything they have, both treasure and men.
Little does the new crew know, Spy has a trick up his sleeve. He takes his grey parrot along with him and, upon hearing where this crew is heading, he tells his parrot to deliver a note to his crew where they must wait for this ship and take it over.
Eventually, the two ships meet up, combat ensues as Spy turns on the enemy crew and fights along his team.
Apart from still being a master of espionage even at sea, he would probably also be the team's designer. Like, the designer of everything.
He thought of the flag, helped Captain Pauling pick out her outfit, suggested carvings in the ship's wood, etc.
Insists on stealing antiques during raids.
Has a fancy flintlock pistol that has carvings on the sides of it.
Is the captain of the ship and leads the crew.
Is pretty nice for a captain and seems to really care for the crew, but deep down she knows she can't get too attached.
If there's a storm or another pirate ship heading in their direction, she keeps calm and makes sure her crew is ready for anything. She could probably survive the Kraken.
Her cabin is pretty untidy, filled with maps, books and pictures, and she is the only one who can make some sense of her mess.
Could defeat an entire attacking crew with a piece of her breakfast in her mouth, she does all those moves like swinging mast to mast, sword in her teeth, just badass pirate stuff.
[A/n: before you say something like: "mEdIc WoUlDn'T gRoW hErBs" this is like when there were real pirates aka 1600s ofc there were no modern medicines, herbs were the best that they had, so don't come for me pls]
Why doesn’t mitski have a song about how awesome tf2 is
I told myself I’d get these up one of these days👍 I finished this list at 4 am last night so none of this makes any sense and every word is more chaotic than the ones before it and no I’m not sorry y’all sighed up for this bs
Scout
-Can understand a good chunk of French but can’t speak more than a few simple words if that, has no clue how he understands it (Spy spoke a good amount of French around him as a baby or something idk)
-Can be just has hard to find as Spy-once you loose sight of him he’s impossible to find if he’s actually trying to stay hidden-Like father like son
-Can and will steal your food-this includes Heavy and Medic-He has no fear whatsoever and has been sent to respawn god knows how many fucking times because of this-And yet he still does it
-Loves scifi movies and comics and if you watch a movie with him half of it is him pointing out random trivia facts because he’s incapable of shutting the fuck up (this is also what happens when you watch a movie with me irl. My grandparents are sick and tired of it. Yes this is even more self projection what of it?)
-has mastered the younger sibling talent of fucking climbing people if it means getting something that’s held over his head. He also bites
Soldier
-it’s impossible to tell if he’s insulting you or complimenting you 90% of the time
-Has stabbed Scout’s hand to the table to prevent him from stealing food before and no one stopped him
-The team has movie nights once a week and Soldier always puts on the same inaccurate WW2 documentary he made himself when it’s his turn to pick-he used to put on 10 hours of the American National Anthem but someone (read: The rest of the team working together) lost (read: Violently destroyed) the tape after the third time
-I said he was from Missouri once in a rp cuz my rp friend and I are both from different parts of Missouri so that’s my hc now
Pyro
-I always hc him as Irish for some reason idk why
-Can casually pick up every merc except for Heavy-He struggles a bit with Medic because that man is pure muscle but they can indeed pick him up
-May or may not be a cannibal-it’s a little uncertain but either way they’re banned from the kitchen and cooking duty
-I’m a sucker for the hc that he does not like water whatsoever-Getting this man a bath is like trying to bathe a cat except somehow even more deadly
Demo
-This may be the impulsive sleep deprivation but my brain randomly went “What If he can see general ghosts because of his possessed eye socket, not just Eyelander or the scream fortress ghosts” so sometimes people walk in on him casually having a conversation with the air. Considering he’s made out with his own organs in his head, this is one of the less weird things they’ve walked in on him doing
-Surprisingly he’s the best with kids out of all 9 mercs, Heavy is a good runner up though and Spy’s not far behind but will never admit it
Heavy
-Accent gets thicker when he’s talking to people he cares about
-Was the one who suggested the movie nights in the first place
-Actually cleans up in the base unlike literally everyone else
Engie
-People don’t realize how unhinged this man is ok??? Anyways he’s a caffeine addict and has developed the habit of pulling way too many all nighters if it means getting work done (like me. It’s 4 am as I work on this list. Help)
-What’s a southern farm boy without a few dozen concerning stories about pushing cousins out of second story barn windows or near drowning fishing story? My cousins lived on a farm when we were kids and they scared the shit out of me I swear there was a new broken bone every summer
-probably once had a sleep deprived mental breakdown on his workshop floor because the sweet tea one of the mercs made him wasn’t sweet enough idk man I’m sleep deprived rn and could really use a southern style sweet tea
Medic
-Mann vs Machine hc that his hometown would rather deal with the robots than having Medic anywhere near them ever again. They want him GONE
-Sleeps like a fucking corpse-You can’t even tell he’s breathing unless you look closely. He even crosses his arms like a corpse
-Will take you graverobbing for a romantic date-gotta get experiment canvases somehow he’s running out of room on the other mercs without them just dropping dead from it all
Sniper
-The opposite of a morning person, but his internal clock won’t let him sleep in ever. The suns up? He’s up! Someone help him
-Has befriended a wild owl and feeds it at night-The offense trio very violently helped him name it (They fist fought eachother over who’s name was better while Sniper spaced out thinking about random gator facts)
Spy
-An adrenaline junkie but will never ever admit it
-Spy can mimic voices to a near perfect even without his disguise kit-he however rarely uses this and instead simply mocks everyone instead because he finds it funny (“This is Scout! Rainbows make me cry!”)
-Wears a corset because I said so-It always matches perfectly with his outfit and underwear too-He feels SO bonita
Bonus since it’s Pride Month
-Scout is gay and so many levels deep in the closet it’s embarrassing-He’s also trans because I said so
-Soldier is trans, bi, and poly :) his list of wives consists of anyone and everyone /j
-Spy is bi and a cis man who wears dresses regularly he’s gnc af and I love that for him he’s my wife now
-Medic is gay and still legally married to his wife they’re mlm wlm solidarity married for tax benefits /j
-Pyro is trans, non-binary, and pan and uses he/they pronouns because I said so
-None of these men are straight ok
-Medic did both Scout and Soldier’s top surgery but both of them instead have overly extravagant extremely gorey stories on how they got their scars
