(( Aaaaand that’s the last bio revamp-and ASKS ARE OPEN AGAIN TOO! I -do- plan on attempting to also redo some of the ask answers already posted too so that should be fun! ))

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Ivana Golubov Age: 45 Gender: Female Marital Status: Widow Class: Heavy Primary weapons: Minigun and fists Family: Unknown Bio: Ivana is a former boxer and fashion model who grew bored of the runway, finding she much preferred the thrill of battle. Though being hired onto Mann Co. to the Blu Team as an outlet for her combat skills, she still carries herself with poise and grace and retains some of her aristocratic tastes. She also has a bit of a habit of criticizing the way some of her coworkers dress, giving unsolicited advice and ruffling a few feathers as a result.

Name: 'Flicker' (Nickname, Real name unknown)

Age: Unknown (Estimated to be mid-20's to early-30's)

Gender: Unknown

Marital Status: Unknown

Class: Pyro

Primary weapons: Flame Thrower and Fire Axe

Family: Unknown

Birthplace: Unknown

Bio: The team Pyro is referred to as ‘Flicker’ or even simply 'Pyro', as no one seems to know their actual name let alone their appearance, though 'Flicker' seems to prefer it that way. Highly guarded, 'Flicker' tends to prefer keeping to themselves, except around meal time-as they've personally taken on the responsibility of 'Cook' on the team as well-and seems to be genuinely good at it. Otherwise, they seem to prefer their own company for the most part.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Moire Allaway Age:  37 Gender: Female Marital Status: Single/Never Married Class: Demowoman Primary weapons:  Stickybomb Launcher and Eyelander Family: Mother, Father and three younger Sisters Birthplace: Scotland Bio:  Moire is the Blu team’s Demowoman, and like Sally is fairy boisterous and enthusiastic about her job, and often prone to celebrating-even in the midst of battle. Because of her friendly attitude and passion for her work, Moire tends to get along most with Sally and sometimes Nolan, most other members on the team dreading their collective shenanigans. She's also a brilliant chemist, always seeming keen to try out her latest explosive concoctions on and off the battlefield and excitedly recording the results while dodging bullets and flying shrapnel.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Jesse Gates Age:  42 Gender: Male Marital Status: Single/Never Married Class: Engineer Primary weapons:  Shotgun and Wrench Family: Father, two half-sisters Birthplace: Texas Bio: Sweet, gentlemanly, and very VERY clever are what best describe Jesse Gates, whom many may go as far as to consider the 'Team Dad' on Blu Team. When not in his workshop tinkering and whatnot, he's usually hanging around the team Medic, discussing science, medicine and the like-especially because before getting into Engineering, Jesse has actually been considering getting into the medical field himself but ended up finding he enjoyed creating machines far more. He still retained his excelent bedside manner however, and sometimes helps Wolfram in the infirmery or will even step-in if someone just has minor sniffles.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Sally Forth (Not in fact his real name)

Age: 41

Gender: Male

Marital Status:  Single/Never Married

Class: Soldier

Primary weapons:  Rocket Launcher and Shovel

Family: Mother and Father

Birthplace: Las Vegas Nevada, USA

Bio: Sally is a man with dubious military training, and even more dubious ways of applying said training to the battlefield-though regardless, he still gets results, albeit messy on most occasions. He's so ingrained with the military lifestyle in fact, he insists on getting every 'private' in the base up at the crack of dawn every morning for exercise through his homemade obstacle course. Most everyone on the team considers him an absolute maniac, so it's no surprise (or perhaps a BIG surprise), that Lafayette is one of the few team members he actively gets along with somewhat. Their favorite topic of course is conspiracies-especially around Area 51, near where Sally grew up in Nevada, which he and the Spy can talk about for hours.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Nolan and Rebecca Flynn

Age: 24 (Fraternal twins)

Gender: Male and Female respectively

Marital Status: Never Married/Single

Class: Scout

Primary weapons: Scattergun and Baseball Bat(Nolan), Katana and Brass Knuckles(Rebecca)

Family: Mother, two other brothers and two other sisters

Birthplace: Los Angeles California, USA

Bio: Nolan and Rebecca are the youngest members of the team, and so the brashest and most arrogant. Other team members may find them a bit abrasive, but the pair make up for it for being extremely effective at their job, and are especially excellent at looking out for each other. Originally notorious delinquints in Los Angeles, after causing some serious property damage they were either given the choice of prison time, a fine or the military. Picking none of the above, they managed to escape custody but needed somewhere to lay low-and somehow ended up working on the Blu Team for Mann Co.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Shannon Kelly

Age: 54

Gender: Female

Marital Status: Married

Class: Sniper

Primary weapons: Sniper Rifle and Kukri

Family: Husband and four children

Bio: Shannon is the team sniper, a professional with a stern, serious demeanor and no time for nonsense, she has a reputation as a Hardass and the 'Team Mom' as she's one of the oldest, and somehow most responsible on the team. She took the position offered by Blu to help put her four children through college. While she takes her job seriously, Shannon will still take time to call back home to her family. Many of said family don’t approve of her career-mainly her husband, but she still loves them all the same despite the occasional arguments about it.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Wolfram Schmitt

Age: 42

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Divorced

Class: Medic

Primary weapons: Syringe Gun and Medi Gun

Family: None

Birthplace: Denmark

Bio: Naturally sedate, bordering on lazy, he still managed to pass through medical school with high marks and became a fairly well-off doctor (Though it's believed he paid his way through medical school through... unconventional means). Wolfram is amiable and kind and always has an encouraging word for his teammates, and is quite reliable in spite of his lax and laid-back personality. Maybe a little -too- laid-back, however, as when his wife divorced him she took everything, leaving Wolfram quite in-debt. As a result, the doctor had to take to treating criminals and mobsters under the table for some many years. It got to the point that some gangsters would offer Wolfram payment to kill any rivals who came to him for help, and so the medic was forced to quit and go into hiding-eventually being found by Blu and hired onto the team.

[ask-the-blu-base]

Name: Lafayette, surname Classified

Age:  Classified, mid-40’s

Gender: Male

Marital Status: Single/Never Married

Class: Spy

Primary weapons: Ambassador and Balisong knife

Family: -Classified-

Birthplace: Canada, City Classified

Bio: Lafayette is the Spy of Blu Team, and as such much of his background is largely unknown. He's generally good at his job, however he displays something of a paranoid streak that borders on Conspiracy Theories. He has little trust of anyone, even those on his own team-some of whom he's thoroughly convinced have some connection to the Illuminati or even Aliens and Bigfoot. He would've been thrown off the team long ago as a basket case if not for his otherwise high professionalism where it's called for and his ability to seek out hidden secrets for the company no one was expecting-or even asked for.

(( I was planning to post the updated Blu mercs all at once, but I think I’m just going to start posting their new bios/designs as I finish them instead. SO buckle up, and brace yourselves because uuuuh some of them are like. -REALLY- different now!))

( Hey wouldn’t it be funny if I rebooted this blog out of Nowhere?)

Ivan: We are not quite friends I would say. But it is getting there, maybe?

(( And aaaaa thank you very much ;;;u;;; I need to update here more... ))

Send "I don't believe we've met..." for my muse's reaction.

(( Mod note: Besides the one RED spy, I'm actually trying to resist making more RED OCs alongside my Blus :'3 It'd just be too hard for me to keep a handle on even more on top of the main team I have on the blog, so the rest'll be a little more 'generic' and faceless unless the Blus otherwise interact with other blog muses ))
