#80rambles

Scouts:

red and blu are the youngest of 8 brothers. their ma liked to fuel competition between them their whole lives because she thought itd be funny, now neither of them can do anything with each other without it being a contest. so when one dropped out of school to shoot a gun, so too the other

Engies:

they arent TWINS per se, but early in RED medic and RED engie's careers they worked together on a cloning project, with engie being the test subject. the BLU engie is RED's "twin", the resounding success of the project. but it worked a little too good...

BLU engie's grief with being a copy made it easy to forget everything and take thd BLU medic's offer at a chance for a new life. He actually repurposed the cloning technology into the respawn mechanism and sold it to the Mann brothers before joining the war

Medics:

RED and BLU medics are not twins at all, by coincidence they were born on the same day... they are step siblings whose parents married. they never got along and their relationship was vitriolic. they always fought for their parents attention; who in turn spared it to neither. it didnt help that both of them were brilliant. by the time they were mercenaries the two medics hadnt spoken in 15 years

Spies:

RED spy was always extremely reckless, despite how he's changed, it still lingers very subtlety. scarce people would recognize him from the person he was before. BLU spy on the other hand has always been the proper bastard that he is.. always taking care of RED and watching RED's back.. thats what family does, right? not that RED knows anything about that. they used to play spies as children. look at them now.

blu spy's jaw dropped when he saw twin boys of his brothers spitting image... the two scouts couldnt be related to–no. it cant be.

Demomans... Demomen:

the demoman twins were separated at birth and raised in orphanages before being readopted and reunited with their parents and each other. they had a shared bitterness for the abuse and expectations placed upon them by their parents. they were expected to compete with each other in adolescence.. but they didnt. even thought their parents pitted them against each other constantly, the reunited twins only held wonder, respect, and concern for one another, all while taking whatever life had to throw at them and passing with flying colors together. and then idk something happened and now they want to kill each other in a war about rocks.

i also enjoyed these replies from an old post a lot...
