You know them, you love them, you better! Introducing Team Fortress’s very own, The Gliders! Yes you heard that right, this year our red friend comes back with a vengeance, and joined by his mysterious Blu counterpart! Representing the Special Forces, the Glider brothers are going all out, it’s employment or bust this year, and even I coward in terror at the thought of what will happen if they lose. Fly high boys! If you know what’s good for ya, vote for your favorite sugar gliders today!
And of course for our newer mercs and voters, meet the Gliders!
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a depressed middle-aged Italian man with a flight suit! The Red Glider swoops into the fight, dragging you with him via his grappling hook. Our Aviator takes a new approach to our gravel field; with his one-of-a-kind “Gliding Suit” and endless supply of ariel ammo, he’s a menace from a never before seen angle in Team Fortress 2. Above.. He's a bit outta his gourd, spending most of your life isolated in a forest studying "Italy's Shame," Leonardo Da Vinci will do that to you. But no worries! His good cooking and friendly-ish attitude will do more than enough to get you to look past his fre- OCCASIONAL!! Grazie tante! -"mad scientist" outbursts. About planes. Freak. Just whatever you do, DO NOT call it a “Flight Suit.” There’s a difference. He’s not called “The Flyer,” for pete sakes.
Watch high and low, but mainly high, the Blu Glider’s attacks are silent and swift, an efficient killer, he uses his deadly talons to tear into prey whole! Swallowing the rest and regurgitating it hours later as a pellet!.. no that’s an owl, but his keen senses and vast knowledge, (in the field of gliding,) sure do remind you of one! And the killing! He’s really good at that! The Blu Glider is a man of many talents, and could well rule the world if he so chooses, but our fiercely determined friend has only one thing on his mind, something he needs resources only provided by Mann Co. to accomplish. Will this be his in? Will he complete his life’s mission? Will his brother ever remember to pick up his screws he needs? Stick around to see all these questions and more answered as the story of Team Fortress: SPECIAL FORTRESS unravels!
The Fishermen - Kenneth and Drew

Country of Origin: USA
Role: Offense
Hailing from just about every coastline in America and quite a few lakes, The Fishermen are finally ready to settle down in the cozy badlands of Teufort. They may not be used to the dust on the ground and the lead in the water, but they'll learn to reel in a catch more feisty than any fish.
Drew (RED) and Kenneth (BLU) are a father/son duo who both work for Mann Co. as a 10th class. Their primary weapon is a fishing pole, which can be used to reel opponents in close. The reeling does some damage, but the real plan is to draw them up close and finish with a melee. Their blog is @meet-the-fishermen !
