Only known by mann co staff(pauling, medic etc)
Private info(not known by anyone unless they are told about it)
Basic info

Birthday: march 23rd
Birthplace: Quebec, Canada
Mercenary class: Trapper

His voice claim!!
Personality
Trapper is usually cold and rude, difficult to warm up to. He doesn’t let people through the walls he put up around him. He is socially awkward and cannot focus on a conversation, usually fidgeting with something in bis pocket or staring off in the distance.
If you do get to know him more, he is more talkative, and friendly but still sarcastic and slightly rude. He keeps distance from people unless he trusts them with his life(rare thing)
Trapper deals with anger issues and has a short temper. He usually can control it but can struggle when things go especially bad. Usually resorting to him going to throw axes or go on a long hike.
He has social anxiety and stresses about talking to people often when nobody is around. He finds being around too many people to be suffocating and scary.
It can get so bad that he physically cannot leave his room or speak to anyone at all. This is not common though.
Appearance
Trapper is a 6’6 tall and fairly bulky. He has strong broad shoulders and arms, and a slight dad bod build. He has shoulder length black hair that is shaved at the sides, which he keeps slicked back into a low ponytail when working, and loose when he isn’t.
I actually made some of his outfit/ cosmetics in a picrew:)
He has large hands with short, sometimes dirty nails. He sometimes paints them black.
He normally wears either a black balaclava(sometimes one with a skull pattern on it) with thick goggles with a shiny gray tint. Sometimes a hockey mask with the holes covered by black gauze. He wears a plain black surgical mask with aviators when away from base.
He has a squareish jaw, and roman nose. His eyes are a steely gray, with a slight blue to them,and are tired and downturned, making him look half asleep or bored, with dark eyebags underneath them. He has bushy, unkempt eyebrows which are usually hidden underneath his trapper hat(he always wears it)
He has a scar across the left side of his mouth from his chin to his nostril, and beauty marks on the opposite side of his mouth, and two underneath his left eye, one on each cheek and one on his neck.
He has a septum piercing, two bridge piercings, medusa and snake bites, stretched lobes, industrial and three helix piercings(on each ear) as well as a rook and nostril.
Another picrew of him.

His usual attire consists of warm thick sweaters, flannels, bomber jackets, trench coats, thick gloves, trapper hats, thick trousers, waterproof boots and tank tops and cargo shorts in warm weather. He often wears band t shirts and camouflage cargos when not working.

Random info/ hobbies/ likes
Trapper is autistic!! (Me too buddy me too)
He masks a lot around his teammates, but feels more comfortable around some
He has a few vocal stims, and ofter echoes what people say if it catches his attention.
Some stims: cracking joints, whistling, biting at his gloves/ shirt collars, flapping hands(mostly when excited or stressed) and random jerking movements in his neck(when overstimulated), tapping/knocking on surfaces with his knuckles.
Some vocals stims are: random repetition of others words, whistling, mimicking the sounds of doves(medics fault), popping(like pop cat), and making cracking noises(like wood being split open) and imitating crickets chirping.
He owns a bunch of weighted blankets, which help with his anxiety, and when he is understimulated.
Trapper makes their own beef jerky, with a special family recipe marinade, usually snacks on it in battle or when out at night. He sometimes shares with sniper and engineer.

He’s a good cook, and often makes food to share with the others.
He sews and diys clothes for fun and offers to fix any clothes for other mercs.
He goes on walks almost every evening/night, and enjoys the quiet(most of the time)
He keeps books on bugs and entomology, he reads them often, as well as horror fiction and sci fi novels(think stephen king)
Trapper regularly practices axe throwing and target practice with his rifle. It helps him cool off and calm down, or just pass time.

His family used to travel across canada but eventually settled in the middle of nowhere in alberta.
A bunch of issues with parents(with being trans and everything, it’s included in records , he just doesn’t talk about the problems with anyone, speaks highly of his father to make people think he doesn’t have issues)

Throws axes and knifes for sport, fun and helps with anger issues.
He smokes weed, not all the time but when he his anxiety gets really bad. It helps him relax and cool off.
He sleeps with plushies. And is terrified of other mercs finding out
He partakes in vulture culture.

Mercenary things
His weapons would inclue
Main: Hunting rifle or shotgun
Secondary: throwing axes or splitting axes, maybe using knifes as an alternative too.
Third: bear trap, tripwires, motion sensors, pitfalls etc.
His main tactic would be to slow the enemy and finish them off with his rifle or axes from behind, or set up traps for his teammates to take advantage of.
Relationships with Teammates:
Spy: n/a (tag: sneaky boys club)
Trapper calls him: spookers,
He gets along fine with spy, but he thinks of him as pretentious and prissy, with his suits and fancy everything. He trusts spy to not tell the others of his secret though. Kind of a father figure to trapper(he keeps this a secret)
Soldier: @eagle-head-charge (tag: cold Liberty)
Soldier calls him: Goggles, Checkers, Buck

Demoman: @red-demo-tf2 (tag:
Drinking buddies)
Trapper calls him: Scotsman, bomber
Demoman and trapper get on good, sharing drinks(according to demo trapper makes a mean drink). They have almost a brotherly relationship and enjoy eachothers presence. Trapper worrys about demo’s drinking habits a lot though.
Medic: @the-red-medic (Tag: Cold storage)
Trapper calls him: Doc, Sir
Medic gives him the major creeps. But is okay to talk to sometimes. He offered to give Trapper top surgery once or twice but was turned down, due to the medics history of experimenting on his teammates.
Trapper stays clear of medic most of the time, unless necessary to talk to him.
Heavy: (Tag: Cold weather)
Trapper calls him: Big guy, Muscles
Heavy reminds trapper of his father sometimes. tall and strong, but also a kind heart. He enjoys talking about books with heavy sometimes, when he is not taking care of his gun.
Pyro: @lord-of-pyroland (Tag: Hot n Cold)
Trapper calls them: sparky, smokey, Firestarter,
Pyro likes trapper, they see him as a brother figure like demoman does, but trapper finds them mildly off putting. He likes sitting with pyro and showing them bugs sometimes though.
Scout: @bonkbonkbonkboinkbonk (Tag: Quicktrap)
Trapper calls him: speedster, the Flash/Flash
Scout is like an annoying little brother to trapper, but slightly more tolerable. Scout finds trapper intimidating, due to his size compared to his, but finds it fun to watch him throw axes from time to time to time. They get along fine when scout isn’t being irritating.
Engineer: @rengineer (Hats N helmets)
Trapper call him: Engie, Goggles, Wrench,
They don’t talk much unless sharing snacks, or working together in battle. Trapper appreciates the work he does around base and in battle, finds him good company when it’s quiet, although he feels awkward just hanging around his workshop in silence. Trapper wouldn’t admit to it but he enjoys engineers accent, its nice to listen to.
Sniper: @the-red-sniper (tag: Outback Hiking)
Trapper calls him: Snipes,
Sniper is a good friend to trapper, he trusts sniper. Sniper enjoys trappers presence, they share tips on sniping/hunting and have gone on a camping trip together once.

Red Nurse: @tf2-nurse-is-dreaming (tag: Bugs inc)
Trapper calls him: Ears, Doc, pup/puppy,
Nurse tends to dote on trapper in checkups, and trapper thinks of him as a good friend, usually coming to the medbay to talk about bugs or anything in general.
They keep up a professional relationship when working though.

Trapper finds her very irritating due to her talking a lot. He thinks she doesn’t take her job seriously.
