If you aren't in the habit of nailing everything down, you should start now. Kat Slyvia has a job doing what she loves, and you better believe she works every day of her life. Intensely focused and as sly as a fox, you'd better keep your wits about you and your eyes sharp. You can never be too careful. She can be in and out in a blink of an eye -- hey, by the way, has anybody seen my wallet?
Kat's job is to functionally prevent the other team from using their weapons -- be that by way of taking the bullets out of their guns or disarming them completely. At her disposal are a pair of scissors and a handgun, as well as an intricate knowledge of the various ventilation shafts and secret tunnels she can use to get from one side of a battlefield to the other -- In terms of longevity, she can't stand as much of a torrent as her coworkers can, but don't try and use that to your advantage at a close range -- In hand to hand combat, she's skilled in disarming her enemies, and leaving them with a broken arm or two to show for it. Enough about the fight, though, what about Kat?
Born in Salt Lake City, alongside a twin sister, everyone could tell that Kat was strange from a young age. A violent streak a mile wide and her strange tendency to take everything that glittered -- including the screws from all of the furniture in the house -- landed her in an institution at a very young age. Her escape from said institution was one of many, as she would find throughout her childhood and teenage years that she was exceptionally good at taking what she wanted and evading consequence. Don't let her see anything you want to keep-- she'll find some way to steal it. Can she steal her way into Mann Co.? We'll just have to see. I'd consider voting for her, if I were you -- I wouldn't want you to "misplace" something valuable.

Kelly is the RED Soldier, happily taking the position after struggling to keep a job for years. He takes lots of pride in his position, and loves the thrill of battle. PTSD has led to him having a shaky mental state, often having angry outbursts over small issues. Despite that, he is usually nice enough, and values his friendships with his teammates.

On the day that Saxton Hale became the CEO of Mann Co., his scientists worked hard to make him a creature as a welcoming present - an unholy combination of human intellect and raw animal strength. They presented the creature in a simple cat carrier, where Saxton only saw a small cub of a mountain lion with opposable thumbs. As it was only a cub, Mr Hale couldn't see himself fighting the creature, and he threatened to fire the scientists on the spot.
The scientists kept their jobs, but the cub was left in a cardboard box labeled 'Free Kitten' on the corner of a nondescript street somewhere in the United States.
Kat was eventually picked up by the BLU team and was given a job as a Spy. She… tries her best.
