Character BLU Soldier
Name: Mister Jane Doe
Series: Team Fortress 2
Timeline: Up to the most recent update (Pyro Mania)
Canon Resource Links: Wiki (Please note that some of this information comes from an interview with the RED Soldier, and I am playing BLU Soldier, who is essentially the same person. It gets a little confusing as to if there are actually any differences between them; for example, RED Soldier was established to have had a magician for a roommate in the Halloween Update, but BLU Soldier is also depicted to have the same roommate in later updates. So far only the BLU Soldier was specifically addressed by the named Mister Jane Doe, and at this point in time of Pyro Mania, BLU Soldier is homeless)

Comic Appearance (Christmas update)

Another Comic Appearance (Friendship between BLU Soldier and RED Demoman terminated)

Soldier Blogs on here occasionally

Personality: Mister Jane Doe can be simply described as a crazed patriot from America's heartland. He is a patriot, as he desperately wanted to fight in World War 2 and loves everything American. He is crazed because, despite him being a perfectly capable fighter, he was rejected from every branch of the U.S. military. This didn't stop him, however, from buying his own ticket to Europe, training and arming himself to go on a Nazi killing rampage in which he awarded himself medals of his own design. Whether or not he was actually killing Nazis remains in question, as his rampage stopped immediately upon hearing about the end of the war in 1949, some 4 years after the war actually ended.

His mental health is extremely questionable as he views himself as a war hero, is seemingly full of the most ridiculous war stories, and is incredibly attached to his collection of the severed heads of his enemies. He lives by the mentality that if you aren't doing something constructive, like push-ups or jumping on live grenades, then you are a disgrace and you are wasting your time and life. In fact, all men should be engaged at all times in the following:

1. Getting a haircut
2. Yelling
3. Digesting ribs
4. Hill defense

And if you are not doing any of the above, then you are an idiot and you hate America.

Soldier is one who doesn't question authorities or give much thought to what he is told to do when it doesn't involve betraying his teammates/friends or country. He was hired as a mercenary by a man that has lived far too long to kill the man's brother's mercenaries and seize land, and doesn't seem bothered at all by the fact that the other man's team is identical to Soldier's team. He is driven by the sole motives to serve his country and kill cowards. When it comes to interacting with his teammates, or just other people in general, his hatred for what he perceives to be cowardice is apparent, as well as his extreme patriotism, and he exhibits ignorance of anyone else's concerns, feelings and property. However, when he finds someone with similar interests and somehow by God's grace makes friends with them, he strangely enough becomes quite friendly and extremely loyal to them.

Because of the aforementioned, people would like to speculate that Soldier has a secret, soft and loving side to him, but they are incredibly wrong. Soldier has and will set aside friendship for the good of war (or if he is called a civilian)!

Strengths/Weaknesses: STRENGTHS: Soldier's defiance of all good sense and judgement allows him to pull off some crazy stunts, most notably the Rocket Jump, in which he fires and detonates a rocket missile under his feet, propelling him high into the sky at the cost of some health. On the battlefield, he's a dangerous force, and by Rocket Jumping can transverse areas quickly and reach places others cannot. He is effective against defensive establishments (such as sentry guns) and can do quite a number on the field with his shovel.

WEAKNESSES: Because of Soldier's same defiance of all good sense and judgement, he is a terrible liar and the worst lawyer ever. He is also ashamed of the fact that he is actually a civilian and not a soldier of any kind, and is easily manipulated and brought to irrationally violent anger when made fun of this fact.

Samples
First Person Sample:

[The video feed opens to reveal the scowling, rugged face of Soldier... upside down. His face blurs with sudden motion as he shakes the device.]

Administrator? Is this another one of your communication devices? I heard you talking with your weird robot voice! Explain yourself to me what in the hell is going on! If I wanted your help finding a new place, I would not have asked you anyway!

[The camera suddenly begins rotating crazily as Soldier examines it, displaying shots of grass, sky, a Sawk standing stoicly to the side, and a house, all the while grumbling curses at the PokeGear. It stops pointed at Soldier's face again, this time sideways.]

Is this even a communication device? [Soldier is interrupted suddenly as the Sawk intervenes to straighten the PokeGear rightside up. He looks as though he was about to question the Pokemon, then changes his mind and turns back to the PokeGear, jabbing violently at it.]

How does thi-- [The feed cuts off abruptly as Soldier unknowingly turns it off.]

Third Person Sample:

It has been a confusing morning for Soldier; he wakes up in a strange house with a strange thing staring at him, and an unfamiliar woman handed him a bag of supplies before shoving him out the door. On top of everything, this strange device issued a challenge at him before falling silent, and had refused to respond to any of the Soldier's threats and jabbing.

Clearly this was some sort of training routine for soldiers like himself, and only the fittest of the fit would survive. That, or this was some part of elaborate Communist plan to break his will -- and in turn, break the will of America.

"Over my cold, dead, lifeless body!" the man growled at that thought, punching his palm in a threatening matter. The Sawk, who had been patiently waiting for Soldier to wake, looked a little alarmed by the random outburst, but relaxed when it sensed no real danger. Soldier gave it another hard stare, trying to make sense of its existence. The Pokèmon had not made a single sound since the man woke up to find it staring at him, and it had done nothing except follow him around and watch him. Maybe it was his companion for this 'adventure' that the alien device spoke of?

Or maybe it was a spy...

"You can quit playin' dress up games, Spy, I see through your--" The Soldier pointed the Pokègear threateningly at the Sawk and was interrupted when it began speaking again to identify the pokèmon. "Sawk eh... what in the world is a poke-ay-mon... and you're a fighting type!"

Nodding in approval, Soldier pocketed the device and grinned at Spy. Yes, his Sawk's name is now Spy.

"I approve of your guise, Frenchie. Now, let's see if we can't find the person behind all of this and beat everlasting terror of America into him!"

As he began step off towards the path out of this puny city, he paused to look around at the buildings, looking for the source of the music that has persisted since he woke up in this place.

"And quit playin' your hippie music so damn loud! If you wanna play adventure music, play something like the Stars and Stripes Forever!"
