Ask the Blu Mercs

Name: Ivana Golubov Age: 45 Gender: Female Marital Status: Widow Class: Heavy Primary weapons: Minigun and fists Family: Unknown Bio: Ivana is a former boxer and fashion model who grew bored of the runway, finding she much preferred the thrill of battle. Though being hired onto Mann Co. to the Blu Team as an outlet for her combat skills, she still carries herself with poise and grace and retains some of her aristocratic tastes. She also has a bit of a habit of criticizing the way some of her coworkers dress, giving unsolicited advice and ruffling a few feathers as a result.

Bio: The team Pyro is referred to as ‘Flicker’ or even simply 'Pyro', as no one seems to know their actual name let alone their appearance, though 'Flicker' seems to prefer it that way. Highly guarded, 'Flicker' tends to prefer keeping to themselves, except around meal time-as they've personally taken on the responsibility of 'Cook' on the team as well-and seems to be genuinely good at it. Otherwise, they seem to prefer their own company for the most part.

Name: Moire Allaway Age:  37 Gender: Female Marital Status: Single/Never Married Class: Demowoman Primary weapons:  Stickybomb Launcher and Eyelander Family: Mother, Father and three younger Sisters Birthplace: Scotland Bio:  Moire is the Blu team’s Demowoman, and like Sally is fairy boisterous and enthusiastic about her job, and often prone to celebrating-even in the midst of battle. Because of her friendly attitude and passion for her work, Moire tends to get along most with Sally and sometimes Nolan, most other members on the team dreading their collective shenanigans. She's also a brilliant chemist, always seeming keen to try out her latest explosive concoctions on and off the battlefield and excitedly recording the results while dodging bullets and flying shrapnel.

Name: Jesse Gates Age:  42 Gender: Male Marital Status: Single/Never Married Class: Engineer Primary weapons:  Shotgun and Wrench Family: Father, two half-sisters Birthplace: Texas Bio: Sweet, gentlemanly, and very VERY clever are what best describe Jesse Gates, whom many may go as far as to consider the 'Team Dad' on Blu Team. When not in his workshop tinkering and whatnot, he's usually hanging around the team Medic, discussing science, medicine and the like-especially because before getting into Engineering, Jesse has actually been considering getting into the medical field himself but ended up finding he enjoyed creating machines far more. He still retained his excelent bedside manner however, and sometimes helps Wolfram in the infirmery or will even step-in if someone just has minor sniffles.

Bio: Sally is a man with dubious military training, and even more dubious ways of applying said training to the battlefield-though regardless, he still gets results, albeit messy on most occasions. He's so ingrained with the military lifestyle in fact, he insists on getting every 'private' in the base up at the crack of dawn every morning for exercise through his homemade obstacle course. Most everyone on the team considers him an absolute maniac, so it's no surprise (or perhaps a BIG surprise), that Lafayette is one of the few team members he actively gets along with somewhat. Their favorite topic of course is conspiracies-especially around Area 51, near where Sally grew up in Nevada, which he and the Spy can talk about for hours.

Bio: Nolan and Rebecca are the youngest members of the team, and so the brashest and most arrogant. Other team members may find them a bit abrasive, but the pair make up for it for being extremely effective at their job, and are especially excellent at looking out for each other. Originally notorious delinquints in Los Angeles, after causing some serious property damage they were either given the choice of prison time, a fine or the military. Picking none of the above, they managed to escape custody but needed somewhere to lay low-and somehow ended up working on the Blu Team for Mann Co.

Bio: Shannon is the team sniper, a professional with a stern, serious demeanor and no time for nonsense, she has a reputation as a Hardass and the 'Team Mom' as she's one of the oldest, and somehow most responsible on the team. She took the position offered by Blu to help put her four children through college. While she takes her job seriously, Shannon will still take time to call back home to her family. Many of said family don’t approve of her career-mainly her husband, but she still loves them all the same despite the occasional arguments about it.

Bio: Naturally sedate, bordering on lazy, he still managed to pass through medical school with high marks and became a fairly well-off doctor (Though it's believed he paid his way through medical school through... unconventional means). Wolfram is amiable and kind and always has an encouraging word for his teammates, and is quite reliable in spite of his lax and laid-back personality. Maybe a little -too- laid-back, however, as when his wife divorced him she took everything, leaving Wolfram quite in-debt. As a result, the doctor had to take to treating criminals and mobsters under the table for some many years. It got to the point that some gangsters would offer Wolfram payment to kill any rivals who came to him for help, and so the medic was forced to quit and go into hiding-eventually being found by Blu and hired onto the team.

Bio: Lafayette is the Spy of Blu Team, and as such much of his background is largely unknown. He's generally good at his job, however he displays something of a paranoid streak that borders on Conspiracy Theories. He has little trust of anyone, even those on his own team-some of whom he's thoroughly convinced have some connection to the Illuminati or even Aliens and Bigfoot. He would've been thrown off the team long ago as a basket case if not for his otherwise high professionalism where it's called for and his ability to seek out hidden secrets for the company no one was expecting-or even asked for.
