Quick young Haymitch sketched after I saw a photo of Joseph Zada. He had strong Haymitch-y vibes. This my version of Hay from the books of course!

Rascal is a 12 year old boy who wandered onto RED teams base years ago- and surprisingly, hasn’t run away from all of the blood and fighting yet. In fact, he really loves it! The Rascal doesn’t bring a lot to battle- a few guns and a slingshot- but he still wants to be useful and prove he belongs with the mercenaries(who he chooses to call his family- not that he’ll ever tell them that).

He uses his slingshot to throw things to his teammates and at the opponents- water balloons full of gasoline, health packs, bonk- you name it. He’s only the slightest bit slower than Scout, and has the lowest HP of the group.

He’s cocky, easy to anger, a bit too confident in his abilities- a mini Scout, if you may (who he thinks is the coolest guy ever). He’s always excited to jump into battle, distract and irritate the other team, and prove that he’s just as strong as everyone else.

Maybe if he wins, The Administrator will think about paying him for his fighting!

The Barman (Thomas Armstrong)

Born and raised in Stratford, Ontario, Barman is an affable gentleman who specializes in the art of mixology. Among the mercenaries, Barman is relatively tame in comparison; he gets along with everyone and is seen as an almost "parental" figure to most of the team. Whether it be telling old stories of his life back in Canada, or smacking Scout on the back of his neck for forgetting his manners, he has his ways of making the team remember that he's their elder.

Most of the man's time is spent in his makeshift bar in the team's base, or in his own room. That, of which, contains a multitude of model train sets. Sadly Barman was unable to live his dream of becoming a train conductor, but he can still lose himself in the fantasy when he's alone in his room with his models.

When he's in his bar, however, he gets to have casual conversation among his teammates. During his time working for the team he had become quite friendly with Demoman and Spy, often spending nights with them at the bar after a long battle. He'd listen to everyones worries, give them advice, then laugh the rest of the night away to lighten up the mood.

Cyno x Nilou may only be my third or fourth favourite Cyno ship (I have a lot, okay) but I love them having the strongest platonic love bond ever! Like WHAT DO YOU MEAN Nilou doesn't kiss Cyno on the cheek whenever she says goodbye. WHAT DO YOU MEAN Cyno doesn't give her the best hugs ever. WHAT DO YOU FUCKING MEAN they don't share recipes with each other and gossip for fun. (Im ballin here chat I'm balling) They're so cute I can't even 😭🙏💓

Imagine Cyno just showing up at all of Nilou's performances just glaring at anyone who wants to make fun of her and Nilou teaching Cyno to dance but they end up tripping over each others feet because Cyno's absolutely shit at it but they both just burst into laughter
