HANDLE: Amy

OVER 18? Yes
▶ CHARACTER
NAME: Engineer (real name: Dell Conagher)
CANON: Team Fortress 2
CANON POINT: End of current comic canon
AGE: Likely early-to-mid 40s
BACKGROUND: Link #1 (general storyline), Link #2 (Engineer’s background)
PERSONALITY:
- Engineer, or Dell Conagher, is a mechanical engineer from Bee Cave, Texas with a love of all things mechanical. He’s also a mercenary for a private land war in the middle of New Mexico between two warring, nearly immortal brothers. Team Fortress 2 is a goofy, over-the-top series with ridiculous violence and storylines and characters, and Engineer is no exception.
- A canon blurb describes him as a mix of mad scientist and Texan good 'ol boy: "This amiable, soft-spoken good ol' boy from tiny Bee Cave, Texas loves barbecues, guns, and higher education. Natural curiosity, ten years as a roughneck in the west Texas oilfields, and eleven hard science PhDs have trained him to design, build and repair a variety of deadly contraptions."
- Generally, a well-spoken, friendly, and easygoing person. Gets along with most people. This includes a pyromaniac on his team, who he reads stories to. Also has a lot of nerdy dad jokes and southernisms (yeehaw) under his belt.
- Ridiculously smart. Like, cartoon-levels of genius. In canon, he has 11 PhDs. He’s also learns time-travel in a gag side-comic. Alongside this, he’s pragmatic, realistic, and meticulous. He's also unafraid of his own limitations, even cutting off his own hand to give himself a prosthetic robot arm called the Gunslinger, originally designed by his grandfather.
- Beyond his love of inventions and engineering, has fairly simple hobbies and pleasures. When he’s not working, building, or inventing, he likes to relax by playing guitar and/or camping with a beer.
- Morally gray. He seems to enjoy his mercenary work, which is often bloody. He’s typically casual in a firefight, exemplified in his introductory short where he casually plays a guitar over a fire as his sentries destroy enemies trying to close in on him.
- Despite his friendliness, Engineer has a sadistic mean streak. He taunts and insults enemies, often with a quietly threatening and laid-back attitude. When pushed, he doesn’t take crap either. Once, when grabbed by his employer, he responds threateningly: "I appreciate that you're my employer, and an old man besides... but if you don't take your goddamn hands off me I will break you in half."
- Like most TF2 characters, Engineer is fairly nonchalant towards weird stuff. This includes a time when a spaceship crashes through his house and responds with a “huh.”
POWERS/ABILITIES:
Besides being a cartoon-level genius, he’s also the engineer for his mercenary team. He specializes in “area denial” with machines he designed and built himself. He's designed and built sentry guns, a healing and ammo-dispensing Dispenser, and a Teleporter. He’s also made a variety of creative weapons and tools for his work. One example is the Wrangler, a remote control designed by his grandfather for manually aiming sentry guns.
INVENTORY:
- His Gunslinger hand
- Pistol
- Dispenser (folds Transformers-style into portable toolbox)
- His pipe wrench
- His PDA
MOONBLESSING: Sanguis
