(Oh ueah @shephardofthedamned you wanted to be @/ed on this back in like July HERE YA GO)

An industrial chessboard where war, commerce, and silence are traded like currency.

Intercorporate Dynamics

RED & BLU are rival private armies, supplied directly by Mann Co.

PRP is a front company owned by Mann Co., tasked with recruiting and managing mercenaries.

GURN (GRN) is the omnipresent radio network — broadcasting every win, loss, and death.

YLW, TRQ, and ORANG handle cargo logistics: sea, rail, and air respectively, and deliver weaponry from Mann Co.

PNK specializes in domestic parcel delivery, often working alongside TRQ and YLW.

All parties are connected — whether they know it or not.

Redrick Hook – Senior Commander of RED

A larger-than-life demolition legend with a flair for the dramatic. Redhook leads RED with fire, steel, and a love for explosive symbolism. He sees war as theatre — and he’s always center stage.

Jack Blue– Corporate Strategist of BLU

Cold and precise, BluJack plays global conflict like a game of chess. He is the mind behind BLU's quiet dominance and is never caught off-guard. Every move is calculated, every loss, tolerable.

Stewart Gurn– Operator at GRN

Stewart is the voice in your ear when everything goes wrong. Running battlefield comms and intelligence feeds, GRN is the lens through which RED and BLU are observed. They broadcast. They archive. They never interfere — officially.

Harold Yurlow – Logistics Captain of YLW

He rules the docks with silence and experience. Harold is an old sea captain whose ships carry Mann Co. weapons and confidential cargo to any warzone with a harbor. His motto: don’t talk, just sail.

Silvia Pelime – Chief Secretary at PRP

Officially a secretarial firm. Unofficially a covert R&D and tactical contract supplier. Silvia is brilliant, ruthless, and entirely loyal to progress — not people.

The Announcers – Voices of the War

They are the narrators of death, delivered through GRN's satellites. These disembodied voices report every capture, kill, and objective shift. They are consistent. Impartial. And a little too invested.

PRP Staff – The Mercenary Middlemen

Acting as intermediaries between Mann Co., RED, and BLU, PRP's agents Daisy and Stacy maintain contracts, monitor loyalty, and occasionally clean up… accidents. You never see them — unless you’re meant to.

GURN – Global Radio Network

The invisible web tying all major factions together. GRN manages battlefield reporting, public broadcasts, and confidential surveillance. From city towers to desert outposts, GRN is always listening.

YURLOW – Maritime Transport

Delivering freight — and secrets — by sea. Booby, Alby, and Skipper keep the ocean supply lines flowing, navigating storms, pirates, and questionable customs checks with equal discipline.

ORANG – Aerocargo Firm

Aerial shipments for high-speed, high-risk jobs. Laura and Tristan fly dangerous routes for dangerous clients. Their cargo isn’t always legal, and the skies aren’t always friendly.

TRQ – Train Rail Quarter

The last bastion of rail delivery, manned by Marcus and Joyece — two unlikely companions who keep trains moving through conflict zones, sabotage attempts, and loneliness. Old-school, iron-hearted transport.

PNK – Domestic Parcel Division

Made in 2021

One of my earliest attempts at creating textures for a fully custom model. I looked around at some retro television designs from around the 60s and 70s for inspiration, and I came up with this.
