[B]Name[/B]: Samson Steinigen (Prefers to go by Smokey Joe)
[B]Age[/B]: 20s-30s (Always comes up with a number in that range most of the time)
[B]Occupation[/B]:STICKING IT TO THE MAN & Fiery Passion
[B]Mental State[/B]: Smokes a bunch of Weed and does a bunch of LSD on the battle field (Hey it's the 60s, what are you gonna do)
[B]Story[/B]: While searching for new idiots dumb enough to blow stuff up Ms.Pauling had just about run out of ideas for where to look. Scout suggested they search the Bronx boasting about how he use to stir trouble there all the time and that he knew a couple guys who'd do pretty much anything for a quick buck. A Couple Nights later they stopped at a Jazz Club called, Anatis Inferno (Which Translated to Fried Duck), there they met Smokey Joe, a bongo player who would set his bongos on fire at the end of each show to proclaim the fight against [I]The Man[/I]. After meeting up with him backstage Ms.Pauling offered him a job as a Mercenary after he told her he was running short on cash buying new bongos everytime he burned his. Ms.Pauling told him they where fighting a large business corporation who were attempting to claim land (Although she tricked him, she wasn't far enough). And thus Smokey Joe was onboard.

Okay, you guys seem a [I]bit[/I] more enthusiastic than I expected. I was planning to post the official rules and actually start the contest once I finished the banner, but I think I'd better go ahead and post them now. (I know I'm coming off as terribly unorganized, and I apologize.)
[quote][B]- The Character Concept Loadout Contest -[/B][/quote]
[B]Theme -[/B]
Imagine a TF2 where RED and BLU aren’t just clones of each other differentiated solely by what color of gaudy and impractical outfit they wear, but with each individual mercenary instead being a totally separate and unique character with their own personality, appearance, and backstory.
Imagine a Demoman who isn’t a drunken, Scottish cyclops, but rather a stern ex-cop from California who happens to prefer grenades to bullets. Imagine a Sniper who isn’t a taciturn, piss-obsessed Crocodile Dundee expy, but rather a pleasant young lad from the Irish countryside who may or may not be hiding a sociopathic streak. Imagine a Scout who isn’t a shit-eating, Bostonian brat, but rather a member of the Mafia, with many years of experience cutting off fingers and smashing kneecaps under his belt.
The goal of this contest is to create loadouts that have a unique character concept behind them. The concept can be very simple or very complicated, very common or very original. It doesn’t really matter as long as what you’ve created is distinct from the canon characters and is conveyed well.
[B]Rules -[/B]
- Your loadouts don’t have to be possible in-game. Any number of cosmetics can be used (within reason), and conflicting loadout slots can be ignored. Halloween-restricted cosmetics are also allowed.
- Weapon loadouts are not required, but you can certainly provide them if you’d like.
- Feel free to change any physical/mental aspect of the base character as you see fit. Age, gender, body shape, race, nationality, personality, etc., all are free game. Your character should be distinct from their canon base.
- Outside of your cosmetic choices, outfit changes should be minimal. They still need to look like they’re mercenaries working for RED/BLU that are wearing (mostly) standard uniform as assigned to their class.
- You can go into as much or as little detail about your concept as you’d like. “This Soldier was a British officer in WWII,” is just as valid an entry as, “This Heavy is a 37-year-old woman from Alaska, she is half-white and half-Inuit, her blood type is AB, she spent fifteen years working for a logging corporation before she snapped at a coworker and smashed him over the head with a log, she is twice-divorced with four children, her favorite food is lobster, and she keeps a pet robin named Rudy.”
- It is not required, but an illustration of your character (in addition to the loadout shot) is more than welcome.
- Each participant is allowed a maximum of three submissions, but only one can win 1st/2nd/3rd/4th place. A participant can win multiple Honorable Mentions, however.
- Not necessarily a rule, but it is preferred that entries stick to semi-realism and the 60s/70s time frame. Fantasy/sci-fi loadouts, as well as super random and silly loadouts, are going to be much more difficult to win with unless you can provide good justification.
[B]Timeframe -[/B]
The contest will end on [B]Friday, September 15th[/B]. Winners will be chosen by me, but that doesn’t mean that votes are meaningless. Make sure you give positive votes to entries that you like!
[B]Prizes -[/B]
- [B]First Place[/B] – Strange Executioner, Heat of Winter, Endothermic Exowear, Surgical Survivalist (An approximately 28.33 ref value)
- [B]Second Place[/B] – Patriot’s Pouches, Bunnyhopper’s Ballistics Vest, Airtight Arsonist (An approximately 19.66 ref value)
- [B]Third Place[/B] – Hunter Heavy, Speedster’s Spandex (An approximately 9.77 ref value)
- [B]Fourth Place[/B] – Field Practice (A 4.22 ref value)
- [B]Honorable Mentions[/B] – A random craft hat from my inventory
Now get to brainstorming and have fun!
[QUOTE=props2fp;52568782]-Quote from me about character descriptions-[/QUOTE]
I personally don't mind long descriptions. I encourage it actually, it gives me more to work with. I mostly just said that so that people didn't think that they [I]had[/I] to write an essay on their character since I'm sure that would turn some people off. But if this is more a problem with cluttering up the thread or something like that, then I suppose people can send really long descriptions to me via PM (as long as they also post a loadout shot and brief description here). If only we could create collapsible sections of text like other forums...
Do the people that have already posted thier People have to repost or nah?

Here we can see my medic OC scared because his unstable Medi Gun has overheated.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/iG21KTn.png[/t]
(Blu version)
The idea I had for this OC came from the fact that the Quick-Fix looks like a prototype Medi Gun, so instead of the official Medic (a crazy man that doesn't care for safety) this OC is pretty much the opposite; a sane man that maybe cares too much about safety and uses protective gear. I used the Medi-Mask because it looks like an industrial respirator and the only other option was the Colossal Cranium but that would make this loadout look like an Engineer cosplay.

Here we can see my Spy OC showing how big and dangerous his knife is.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/rJGALoX.png[/t]
(Alternative version)
This other OC is pretty much the opposite of what the official Spy is; instead of a rich polite and formal man, this OC is a rude delinquent and a gang member.

Here's some Character i whipped up
Introducing!
The League of Questionable Lads
[t]http://i.imgur.com/s2QtUmI.jpg[/t]
(the ones for consideration in the competition are the Spy, Heavy and Soldier (or maybe Pyro) the rest are for humour/ i like making characters and hey he said he needs eighty one characters)
Going from left to right:
The Explorer (your gonna learn i'm bad with name creation)
ancient tombs to forgotten temples he explores them all ... with a spot of cat burglary on the side.
Colonel Carrier
"Preparedness is the first step in winning the war, Things that make you prepared go in pockets so that means more pockets equal more preparedness!"
Cryro (or Cryo i dunno once again i'm bad at names)
Simply put it take the pyro and replace fire with water, powder, foam, co2, liquid nitrogen etc.
Dr BOOM
A master craftsman in the creation and utilisation of explosives of all types. No ones ever seen his doctorate but with his profession people tend to take his word for it.
The Sentinel
A watchful guardian of his village in the Urals.
The Mechanic (his hand was supposed to be a gunslinger but tfmv was acting up)
From Robots to Cybernetics he knows them all, his upgrades are proof of that.
The Chemist
A doctor and chemist by profession using his time to study the uses of chemicals on the human body just ... be careful with food and drink around him he sometimes might spill things accidental or not.
The Geneticist
As you can tell hes no stranger to DNA splicing but yes he is fully qualified geneticist and of course he does get quite a few odd looks from people.
The Driver
By day he's a professional driver; stunts, racing, limos hes done it all. But by night his driving is of a ... less legal type; escape driver, smuggling etc. as he says "work is work"
That's all folks

[B]Name[/B]: Albert Feigling
Albert, a 38 year old timid man planned to take his family on a vacation set sailed on a fantastic cruise ship.
It was meant to be a quiet normal trip for his loved ones until they were suddenly attacked by pirates who climbed aboard and took everyone hostage.
Avoiding capture, Albert was left to fend for himself. However, dozens of passengers were still held as prisoners
and it was up to him to use his wits to help rescue the civilians as well as his beloved family.

Perhaps replacing candles with white bandana would help?
Has anyone got some ideas for decent loadouts involving an unpainted executioner? I recently picked up an unusual one and I'm sick of people calling it a terrible hat, hah.

Looking for some feedback on my pyro loadouts.
[t]http://i.imgur.com/D8WBLeF.png[/t]
I tried to go for a vaguely military look, without resorting to the imo overdone pilot look.

I like the cop pyro, but the badge clips with the soot suit. Anybody have a suggestion to replace the soot suit with?

Simple attendant loadout. Any suggestions for replacing the wiskered gentleman?

And a vote on my space-themed phlog loadout. I should probably switch out the Turnout Gear for the Space Diver, but for now I just want to decide whether or not to sell the area 451.

Use the attendant loadout, it's one of the better loadouts that came out of the 5 you provided. Filamental as a head replacement would look good.

Not really sure how a robot lightbulb head is supposed to fit with a service-station attendant theme.

I'd say switch the trainers with something like the Macho Mann, brooklyn booties (or Boothenkhamuns since they don't get any love) or maybe even the Dillinger's Duffel
