The Cartographer, or Carty for short, ironically seems to be very lost. Due to the fact that thinly veiled newspaper ads for hired killers have a lot in common with listings for postdoc positions, this mild-mannered geographer has decided "well, this might as well happen", and become a mercenary. The job market is rough, and hey, turns out wanton murder is a great way to vent the stresses accumulated from academia… okay, maybe he wasn't as mild-mannered as he thought.
Carty is a support class with a rather slapdash kit-- improvised weapons, petty traps, and he's somehow found a way to hit people with rolled up paper maps hard enough to deal fatal damage. He's trying his best. Vote for him because god knows where else he's going to find a job in this economy.

The Taxidermist is a Merc from Team Vanguard. Which is The Shittiest Team, but nobody knows about it since they were tests (the tests being that They were trying out a new kind of cloning method with souls and separate bodies but scrapped the idea and put the extra remaining souls into the Team Vanguard mercs you see now).
(RED) Taxidermist is one of the six, being a mix of Medic and Sniper. He takes traits from both of them, notably liking animals and killing people. Though he IS a clone (technically?), he still has his own memories separate from his job since the two souls were put into a different body and not just one of the merc's.
Tax's combat type is Support. BLU Taxidermist is completely different but hes irrelevant and i hate him
well well well, if it isn’t the consequences to your actions, map boy.
(hi @fratboycipher, I did not kill your fella, he’s… taking a lil nap (he’s unconscious because María José bonked him in the head with the map which is Carty’s melee, very clever I know I know))
As mentioned before, the… sleeping guy is The Cartographer from @fratboycipher
María José is mine and yeah, good job everyone who has participated on this contest so far
I guess she didn’t expect that outcome (guys, he’s ok I pinky promise, she’s just shocked)
one of the highlights of this blog is that you know literally nothing about kpop (nevermind svt) but youre still here cheering me on and calling me out when i post weird shit love you sghdfsdjf

The RED Chemist uses her doctorates in pharmaceuticals, toxicology, and biochemistry to explore the limits of the world's chemistry, with other people's biology. Her portfolio includes 5 years as a product chemist, producing our beloved BONK energy drink, the jarate pills, the functions of the disguise kit, and more that we legally cannot mention! Now, she's here to serve on RED in the relentless war against BLU, GRN, and occasionally supernatural beings.
Underneath the mask, the RED Chemist can come across as cheery and passive to a fault as a front to make her appear as non-threatening as possible to her coworkers. While she knows everyone is supposed to be equals, the Chemist is very aware of how she's perceived as just how many odds are stacked against herself. She may not always be seen as an equal, so she would rather not be perceived as an obstacle, lest someone decide to poke around for projects that must stay between the RED Chemist, Miss Pauling, and the Administrator. The RED Chemist is a woman of many thoughs outside of her genius, shrouding the complicated perception of the intersections between her morality, her occupational duty and the cruelty is requires, and her own scientific curiosities. That being said, her scientific curiosities couple well and flourish within her occupational duties. She's more willing to sidestep her moral obligations as a human being if there is potential for scientific discovery.
This makes her a very driven employee, for the right price of course. She's a careful friend if needed, and will work day and night for your satisfaction. If someone gets in her way, the job will come first, even if it comes with a heavy hand and heavy heart.
