nightelf37: Entry number one (I consider Saxton's/Duncan's is number zero), coming right up. Meet the Heavy!.
Fictional Work: Team Fortress 2
Character: The Heavy Weapons Guy
Name: Mikhail Krasnyy
(Krasnyy is Russian for "red". If I somehow butchered it a bit for any Russians out there, I reply to you with basically the same thing Monty Oum said concerning "errors" regarding the pronunciation of the name Weiss Schnee, but replace Germany with Russia: It's an interpretive world, Russia doesn't exist, and ████ you.)
Gender: Male
Backstory: Mikhail lived in a village in the mountains near Atlas, and he and his family often fight off Ursa and Yeti Grimm. During the war that eventually led to Faunus rights, When he was a young adult, he and his family were captured by Schnee Dust Company (they were all bear Faunus) during the Faunus Rights Revolution to force his father to surrender. Mikhail did not believe in the war, but the safety of his family came first, and so he managed to singlehandedly break them out, somehow managing to burn down the prison in the process.
He has refused to elaborate on any further details about his history, aside from suffering continued discrimination while shopping in Atlas, then commissioning for a Huntsman weapon (two, actually), his father having died years after the escape, and being approached by a retainer of the Hale family with an invitation to join Team Fortress, complete with a generous wage and benefits for the Krasnyy family (and a little other incentive).
Appearance: Mikhail is, simply put, a large bear Faunus, with a bald head revealing his bear ears in addition to his human ones, a short stubble, and loads of fat and muscle. He wears a blood red t-shirt, a Kevlar vest to dampen the pain of projectiles hitting him (Aura stopping them from threatening to pierce it anyway), a bandolier where he keeps Dust cartridges for himself and his team, leather belt, khaki trousers, and waterproof boots. He also happens to be the oldest in the team, older than even Duncan.
Personality: Because of his hard life, and because of his fighting style and huge frame, Mikhail needs to eat a lot, and he can stomach a lot of things most people would get sick from. So as not to be a burden to his family, he has also learned cooking. In combat, he's loud, strong, passionate. He's a pretty stoic guy outside of battle, but he really hates it when other people touch his gun.
Weapon: A rarity for most Huntsmen, but not rare enough to be very noticeable, Mikhail possesses two weapons. The first one is a pair of boxing gloves made of titanium, and their compact forms are a pair of plain bracelets. When unfolded, they cover his entire hands, and are charged with electricity powered by Lightning Dust cartridges. The electric charge they release is dependent on the strength of his punch, and thanks to his discipline, he can hold back just enough to render an opponent's Aura depleted either by impact of his fist or any resulting object/wall they'll be sent flying into. The weapons can change forms independently of each other and do so fluidly and fast so that Mikhail can grab onto things when he needs to. He can also let loose a shock wave by punching the ground (and a stronger one by hammer-pounding it), capable of stunning or paralyzing in addition to sending foes flying.
Mikhail's second weapon is a minigun that fires custom-tooled Dust cartridges capable of downing a giant Nevermore with a single rotation's worth of bullets, though it can fire the standard variety, too. Its compact form is a thick briefcase akin to those of the SDC for their Dust bottles (and NOT something like a handbag, he's too manly for that) that can be attached to a clasp with straps on his back specifically made for it so he can wear it like a backpack when not in use. He names it Sasha. The fact that he can run and jump with it deployed for long periods of time is a testament to his strength.
Semblance: His Semblance is not known, but his Aura's known to have a high regenerative rate, making him able to tank more blows than most defense-oriented Hunters.
Fighting Style: Mikhail's role in the team is to take the bulk of the damage in a fight, though he also does his best to come back alive. Despite his size, he can be sneaky when he needs to be. And because he's usually slow (because of his weapons; without them he can be surprisingly fast for his size), he's become proficient in reading his opponents' moves and out-thinking them, even able to shoot down explosive projectiles, and looking more agile than his girth would make others believe. Also, despite the loudness of his weapons, his hearing's good enough he can tell if someone's sneaking up on him from behind.
Hobbies/Interests: the Medic, sandwiches, small birds, his family, redheads
Dislikes: "stoopid" racists, alcohol, Ursae, people touching his weapons
nightelf37: I was almost about to make Mikhail's melee weapons gauntlets, but that would be a straight-up rip-off of Yang's Ember Celica. Though for his minigun's compact form, I had no choice but to derive it from Coco's own minigun. See ya on Third!
