Thank you for looking over my post and I look forward to your auditions!
Miss Pauling is a loyal assistant to the Administrator. She performs a number of duties including reporting unusual background checks, ordering and delivery of goods, opening communication channels and murders. Miss Pauling generally complies with her employer's views for fear of incurring her wrath, even if she does not necessarily agree with them.
[Trying to catch her breath; Excited/Hurried] Administrator! Hh... Hh... He did it! He... actually did it! Gray Mann's taken control of Mann Co! Hale's left the country, Gray fired the mercs, and... and...!
[Worried] Administrator..?
[Informative; Quickly becoming annoyed] Mister Hale, this is Miss Pauling. I work for Miss... um... I heard everything you said, Mister Hale. Fannnntastic. And?
[Worried; then Confident but cut off by Administrator] Um... what makes you say...? We did a background check on the mercenaries. Standard protocol, nothing -
[Quietly] Um, it's the... blue Soldier and red Demoman. It looks like they've become... friends, Administrator.
Saxton Hale is a daring Australian, President and CEO of Mann Co. He is considered the fourth richest man in America. He was the sixth richest man in America, but surpassed the fifth by wealth and the fourth by killing him in a harpoon duel. His favorite pastimes include fighting, drinking, and battling with ferocious animals.
[Confident; Laughing after his pilot was frightened] Hahaha! It's stuffed, Jerry. What's up? We there yet?
[Heroic-like] SAXTON HAAAAAAAALE!
[Unsure; Trying to see the best way to approach a fight] Hm. Alright, maybe if I... No. Stomping...? Neck snap?
[In defeat; Frustrated] Hot sauce! I can't do it! Saxton Hale will NOT fight a child!
[Panicked; to himself] Think, Saxton, think think think...
[Excited; hurriedly] Bidwell! Congratulations, you're the new ceo. Now fight this little girl!
The smallest of the three Mann brothers, Gray was also the most intelligent of the three.
He could speak perfectly by the time he was born, but was the weakest physically.
There is no official voice reference for this character, so play around with it. Maybe use a British accent or something stuck up, with a holier-than-thou attitude.
[Smug] Not... quite, Mr. Bidwell. Thanks to those mercenary brutes of yours, our war has somehow turned into yet another intractable stalemate.
[Daring; Excited] The war is over, Hale. You win. I'm here to offer you a new proposition... all or nothing. Winner... take...
[Screaming in agony; Pained] AlgghhHH! What is wrong with your desk?! My flesh! It falls off my bones!
[Wheezing; Trying to laugh] Hh hh hh hh!
[Lisped; His face becoming swollen from the hit] Yesh, Saxshton. And when you can't, Mann Co. ish mine!
The Soldier is a crazed, jingoistic patriot from Midwest, USA. Tough and well-armed, he is versatile, capable of both offense and defense, and a great starter class to get familiar with the game.
[Commanding] Listen up, men! Between those two cows three hundred brave men died defending Fort Stanwix from the British!
[Offended] What?! If it was not for these men, you would all be speaking English right now! British English!
The Demoman is a self-described Scottish cyclops and a scrumpy-swilling demolitions expert from Ullapool, Scotland, who is one of the most versatile members of the team.
[Annoyed; Drunk] Ach! M'busy! I dunnae want another job, mum. What do ye want--
[Straightening up; Drunk] Oh. Hullo, Miss Pauling. Och, well... have ye heard about the beer of the month club?
[Happy; Surprised] Are... Are ye... givin' me me ol' job back?
[Excited; Ordering] Eyelander! Ye rusty wee butter knife! Put yer sheath on! We've got a job!
Hailing from an indeterminate region of France, the Spy is an enthusiast of sharp suits and even sharper knives.
[Unconcerned; Calm] Scout, every meal they've served us has been brined in a marinade of anti-psychotics and muscle relaxants. I'd like to have a clear head and a full stomach, because believe me, tomorrow is going to be an eventful day.
[Slightly Annoyed; Matter-Of-Factly] Mister Mayor... er- Mike... I am going to kill you and anyone else who participates in this preposterous show trial. Yes, I may kill Scout in the confusion as well.
Born and raised in Boston, Massachusetts, USA, the Scout is a fast-running scrapper with a baseball bat and a snarky "in-your-face" attitude.
[Concerned] Yeah, I got news for ya, pal. Unless there's a pardon from the governor stuffed in one of them molars, they're gonna hang you too.
[Annoyed] Yeah? What's your big plan? Tell everybody to turn around at once and then stab 'em all in the back?
[Smug] I'll make ya some sex, alright. They call me the sex master! Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell ya anyway. It's because I am pretty much the best at sex! Footnote to that statement: other things that I am the best at...
The Heavy Weapons Guy, more commonly known as the Heavy, is a towering hulk of a man hailing from the USSR.
[Stern] No. I have obligations here, to protect my family. I have let them down enough. They must never be put in danger again. This is the last we will discuss this... you will leave in the morning.
[Concerned] Yana. Zhanna. Bronislava. I know it is hard, but the people who hurt us before... who took us away... there will always be more of them. If I wasn't here they would come. They would find you.
[Interested] This mission. It will be dangerous? It pays well? But there will be evil men? And we will destroy them?
[Excited; Yelling] Then Heavy is back, babies!
The Medic is a Teutonic man of medicine from Stuttgart, Germany. While he may have a tenuous adherence to medical ethics, he is nonetheless the primary healing class of the team.
[Nervous; Panicked] W-Wait! Are we leaving? What about the baboon uteruses?!
[Adjusting his glasses; Matter-of-factly] The ones I'm sewing into you. I haven't gotten to everyone yet.
[Excited] Can I just say what a pleasure it's been to work on such blank canvasses! If I didn't know any better, I'd say your last medic barely experimented on you at all!
[Smug] Aheh. A chance to test my latest triumphs against my earliest experiments? No, that won't be a problem at all.
Hailing from the lost country of New Zealand and raised in the unforgiving Australian outback, the Sniper is a tough and ready crack shot.
[Casual] Sorry, mate. Can't have you up and about for what happens next.
[Smiling] Haha, nah. I gave 'em a neckful of the family moonshine. Fresh batch. It don't take long, melts through the barrels. Anyway. Let's get to it.
[Hesitant] My parents... passed six months ago. Not my point. When I was clearin' out the house, I found somethin'. They're... not my real parents.
[Calm] Nobody knows nothin'.
[Suddenly aggressive; Angry] But YOU know. Don't cha, Miss Pauling? So here's what's going to happen. Yer gonna start talkin', and-
[Surprised; In disbelief] You're... going to meet my parents.
The Engineer is a soft-spoken, amiable Texan from Bee Cave, Texas, USA with an interest in all mechanical things.
[Surprised; then cut off] Damn, that is IN there. Tell you what, let's put you under so I can-
[Hesitant] I uh... well? Look, this is gonna hurt, ma'am.
[Admiring his work] There she is, the mark five.
[Warning] Now, she'll run lean. Probably a quarter of the australium the mark four was gobblin' up. But I'll be honest with ya, we're just kickin' the can down the road here. When it runs out... well...
Zhanna is Misha's younger sister. Although not very bright, Zhanna is very courageous and strong, as well as affectionate with those she cares about, i.e. Soldier. The two share a proudly ignorant worldview and love for needless violence.
No voice references exist, so I would prefer a deep, masculine feminine voice for her. Of course, with her thick Russian accent!
[Interested; oblivious] You... want me to be racist to them. Ah, I thought you said you were going to kill them all.
[Smug] And then east meets west in the middle, yes?
[Panicked; becoming confrontational] We are surrounded! You! Fight me!
[Annoyed] You want to know more about Zhanna? Here is story about Zhanna. Once upon a time, I do not like you. The end.
She is the source of the mysterious, disembodied female voice that issues commands and announces vital events during rounds. A mature and thoroughly evil mastermind of a woman, the Administrator possesses both a piercing gaze and the sort of voice that commands total and unwavering obedience... or else.
Her general demeanor tends towards either slight anger or various stages of bitter disappointment.
Voice Reference
[Disappointed] It saddens me that despite my best efforts to instruct and better you, some of you insist on finding new ways to fail.
[Indifferent; Announcement] Attention employees... friendship ends in one day.
[Annoyed] Lastly, I would like to remind those of you writing in with questions concerning a supposed past relationship between myself and one Mister Saxton Hale: A lady never tells, and a gentleman never asks.
More pertinently, an Administrator never forgets. Or forgives. Or relents.
The Nosy Parkers among you would do well to remember that the next time you decide to paw through my confidential affairs like junkyard dogs.
Merasmus the Magician, or simply Merasmus is an important character in the Team Fortress 2 Storyline. By his own claim, he is six thousand years old. While his place of birth is unknown, this age would make Merasmus’ origin contemporary with the rise and fall of the Sumerian Civilization.
[Tired; Just waking up] Tom? I heard a cracking noise! Are you cracking some popcorn? Because I already made some!
[Angrily] YOU.
[Disgusted] You- Why- Why can't I ever be rid of you?! I'm calling the police!
[Through clenched teeth] Soldier, I have lived for six thousand years... and agreeing to be your roommate is my only regret!
There are 10+ extra characters in the Team Fortress comics that are both male and female, so there are going to be plenty of opportunities to get a few lines in each comic installment.
We'll be casting 2-3 each role to make sure it's all covered.
Do one take with an accent and one without - preferably a Russian, British, or Australian one!
[Threateningly] HALE! I haven't got all day.
[Slightly Annoyed] Mister Doe, your brochure promised us a tour of celebrities' homes. Mister Doe, soldiers are NOT celebrities.
[Seething] If you're not going to show us where famous people live, Mister Doe... I want a refund.
[Terrified; after witnessing a murder] Oh my god, oh my god...!

[Concerned or Annoyed] Sir, I'm hardly going to fistfight a child just to get a promotion-
[Worried] It, uh... sounds like something's tearing the plane apart in there. Hello? Mr. Hale? Sir...?
[Worried at first; then turns to screaming in terror] Mister HaleeagHHH!
[Stern] Your honor, the defense requests that we have the first trial. There... isn't a stenographer, sir. Or a bailiff. Or a prosecutor, or any of the personnel required to have a legal trial in this state, or any known democracy for that matter.
Although we have 2-3 editors with us at the moment, it wouldn't hurt to add another under our belt to ensure we get them done as quickly as possible!
