No. 22589
I didn't want a huge thing of blather showing in the first post, so some notes:
- I actually see Spy as being very battered underneath his mask. I mean really, the majority of the guys on the Team are wearing some sort of armor and/or protective clothing, and spend most of their time at a distance shooting off big guns and explosives. Spy's just a guy in a suit. Sure he's got a handgun, but it's mostly knives and hand-to-hand combat with him. Between the Pyro Spy-checks, electrical sparks and mishaps of sapping, duels with enemy Spies and various explosions and nasty situations in close quarters, all far away from a Medic, even a top-notch Spy won't come out unscathed. The balaclava is probably a mix of secret identity/stealth stuff and embarrased vanity.
- While they hate their opposite-Team equivalents with a passion, I bet same-Team Sniper and Spy would be good friends. In an Odd Couple "spend most of the time arguing and bitching at each other" way. I can see them as little old elderly men sitting on a park bench, cackling and making fun of the people that go by.
- I am greatly amused by the fact that Sniper's the tallest in-game model, and cartoony exaggeration aside is probably equal to or nearly as tall as Heavy. Super-tall lanky characters are one of my favorite character design types, especially when there are short dudes for them to hang out with. I always snicker at Spy's entrance in Meet The Spy, because the poor guy's just lugging around this massive pile of gangly limbs. All you can see are LEGS THAT GO ON FOREVER. I bet you Sniper's shades are prescription, too.
- Engie is one "need a table here" joke away from punching somebody in the groin. Because he's short, you see.
