welcome, strangers! it's about time i give this blog a real introduction!
as my info says - i'm Jay, & i really like Team Fortess 2.
i write primarily in Word 2010, in 11pt Euphemia, colored to #006666.
i don't have a DNI - i don't mind what you ship, how you identify, or what you believe, just please understand that all headcanons are unique to the individual & my thoughts on the game & its characters might conflict w/ yours, & that's okay!
the above being said, i am an adult, & TF2 is an M-Rated game. as such, i believe the writing i produce, & the characters my writing is based off of, are 'mature' subject matters.
my fics have been tagged accordingly, but please be aware that mature themes can & do appear in my content!
the main characters i've been writing w/ are:
Josiah, BLU's sniper, & Basil, RED's spy.
-
Josiah is 32 & expectedly Australian, from Thargomindah
• BLU's sniper for two years
• he's very good at being by himself, & prefers it to the company of others; can become anxious in crowds
• has synesthesia, & often describes feelings as having colors or particular smells
• very likely to be autistic; has an acute awareness for the presence of others [cloaked spies included], & can 'hear' others due to a variation of hyperacusis [extreme sound sensitivity]
• has never met the RED sniper, & doesn't particularly care to
• does not have any pets, but finds wildlife fascinating; in that same vein, he appreciates music greatly but cannot play any instruments
• potentially asexual, but he admittedly doesn't give it much thought very often; panromantic
• isn't great at remembering to do laundry
• startles easy, & will almost always back down from being threatened, hoping the confrontation can be resolved another way
• can crack his knuckles simply by flexing his fingers hard enough
• has a brother he doesn't really talk about - not because they don't get along, but because Josiah finds him uninteresting, as he has a very 'normal' job & lifestyle compared to Josiah
-
Basil is 36 & proudly French [he is Moroccan by birth, but was raised in Europe]
• RED's spy for longer than he cares to admit
• left-handed by nature, but functionally ambidextrous
• does not speak in contractions - will always take the lengthiest possible form to articulate his words
• never apologizes, & instead turns phrases around, to redirect blame [i.e., instead of 'forgive me if you do not understand', it would be re-phrased as, 'it is expected for you not to understand', or something similar]
• unexpectedly social & eloquent with others, & enjoys get-togethers w/ intelligent, like-minded individuals
• sociopathic tendencies, which are often repressed in favor of making more pleasant 'first impressions' [this is to imply the actual, diagnosable, real-world condition of sociopathy - not a shorthand for 'sadistic bastard']
• is not scout's father [because both of my boys are at least 50% self-insert each, & i personally dislike the implication of any amount of me being associated w/ parenthood]
• handles pressure well, & can operate / perform to expectations regardless of any unplanned occurrences
• bi / pan-sexual & aromantic; believes Miss Pauling [my interpretation of the character: Jennifer Pauling] to be his platonic soulmate, & the feeling is reciprocated
• engaged in a very long & traumatic relationship w/ my BLU Spy OC, Julian [who does not deserve his own character introduction]
• part of a rather large family, but has not met most of his extended family / half-siblings
