Logan Fisher (The Assassin)

A 24 year old transsexual male who works for Mann Co. because he had no other option. Born in Oslo, Norway, Logan had two parents who were kind and supportive of him, and his identity. Tragically, at the age of 17, with an incident involving faulty Christmas lights, and gasoline, he killed his own parents. After being convicted of two counts of first degree murder at age 18, he went to prison, and only escaped because of rusty and poorly maintained locks. Once he escaped, he met a man at a gas station whom took him in. In exchange for the man's help, Logan would work as a mercenary. With having no other choice, he took the job. Logan is a creative, yet quiet, and anxious man. When in battle, his main focus is being stealthy, like a Spy. He uses smoke bombs — crafted by the Engineer — a suppressed SMG, and finally, a butterfly knife which he often fidgets with. He interacts well with the mercs and is generally respectful around them.
Author note: I created Logan back in June 2024. He was basically just a punching bag for me. Over time, he slowly evolved into being a more developed and thought out character with a personality that slightly reminded me of my own. Logan is made with a lot of love and he genuinely so much to me. So if you vote for Logan/Assassin, thank you. :}

Formally known as the Tax Agent, this masked accountant personally deals with the Administration’s dirtiest of documents.
Tax, or Max, or [REDACTED] would really rather be doing anything but sitting in an abandoned office dealing with other people’s financial paperwork — including “taking care of” any nosy federal employees from the powerhouse that is the IRS.
They seem to be in a perpetual state of confused self-discovery, only coaxed out of it by the passing glances at the Admin’s top assistant: Miss Florence Pauling. That — and the idea that one day they’ll be liberated from their limbo-like labor to finally make the most of their espionage and assassination skills by replacing a Spy. Any Spy really. Even that reject on Team Fortress…
This competition is their ticket to Paradise, so vote the Taxman to become your next mercenary on Miss Pauling’s magical clipboard!

Meet THE CLIMBERS!
Here are my 10th class characters. The Climbers are an attack class who use the battle field to their advantage since their main mechanic is that they can climb the walls of any structure. After they find the perfect position to attack from they leap from the ledge and jump on top of their enemy usually with their climbing hook in their hand to attack with. It’s their iconic and main weapon. Their secondary weapon is their trusty shotgun that they can take people out with when they jump down, if they don’t fancy their hook. Their third weapon is their slingshot, which they can use to cause small damage from the top of the buildings. As an extra ability they also have a rope that they can tie to the wall of buildings and give their teammates a way to climb after them. Pyros can easily get rid of those with fire though.
BLU Climber
Name: Kenneth Colton (he/him)
Age: 42
Birthplace: UK, but grew up in Austria
Ken spent most of his life climbing the snowy sides of the Alps. He got so used to the chilly climate he packed mostly warm clothes with him when he joined the BLU team which was kind of problematic in the hot desert. He is pretty closed off when asked about his past and the other mercs only know that he had a wife and kids. No one knows what happened to them though.
He is on friendly terms with most mercs, they all find him very kind and thoughtful even if kind of quiet. Out of them all Ken is the closest with the Blu Engineer. Since Ken feels a little uneasy attacking others first he mostly tends to just be more defensive and protecting the other mercs when he can. The one he has to protect the most always have been Engineer and Engineer always appreciated the help. This was the starting point of their friendship, and after they started talking who could’ve thought they would find so many things in common.
RED Climber
Name: Marcel Serrano (he/him)
Age: 33
Birthplace: Spain
Marcel comes from the north lands of Spain, where he, as he puts it, “climbed all the mountains at least twice”. Climbing is his hobby but started to get bored of the spanish heights. That’s when he got the offer to join the Red team as the 10th class. Even though he isn’t climbing mountains anymore the thrill of the battles has been keeping him busy and excited. When asked about his family or past life by the others he always likes to go on and on about this beautiful girl from his hometown who waits for him to eventually come home. By the way he always talks about her sounds like she is a princess from a fairytale. The others can’t tell if he is super in love or just made her up. Other than that he sometimes mentions how he misses his mother’s cooking when someone’s cooked food isn’t to his liking. But to give him some credit, he didn’t lie about his mother’s cooking being good, since his mother’s recipe became really popular in the team after a few times he cooked it for them.
Most of the team is on pretty neutral terms with Marcel, they find him a bit too expressive, loud and nosey, even annoying at times with how much he likes to poke into other people’s business or complain about something inconvenient. But not as annyoing as Scout. Talking about Scout, Marcel probably has the most “relationship points” with him out of the team. That isn’t necessarily good though as their relationship is kind of in a limbo like state. They spend a lot of time together chatting and laughing on jokes together, but then in the next second they can burst into a heated argument. On the battlefield they often see eachother like rivals, trying to one up one and other, keeping a score of who gets the most kills. They often compete in different things outside of battle too which often ends in a fight the others have to break up. But ten minutes later they are already sharing a can of soda together and laughing. The other mercs often joke about Marcel being Scout’s long lost 9th brother.
I think both of these boyos deserve some love after all their hardships. (They wouldn't be OCs if they weren't traumatized at least a little.) So please give them a thought and a second look and vote for them if you like them and found them interesting. :3
Thank you for your time! ^v^
