Right-Step Alternate Universe - Spy

Character Details

Generally tends to resemble a guy who's been chased through very dense bushland. Smells like soil and sulphur. Very professional about everything, which is good when you're going to be standing in a narrow corridor with your enemies for a while. Claims the big glasses help conceal his identity (they don't).

It's an ugly job, but someone's got to do it. He always preferred guns, but they weren't always viable in his line of work, and despite sticking out like a sore thumb in his homeland, outside of it he was always just about awkward enough to fade into the background. Working at Mann Co. brings a welcome reprieve - he kills far more often in a single day than he ever did anywhere else, but in its impermanence, he becomes a hindrance rather than a life-ender. Or, at least, that's how he thinks of it.

Notes

I don't remember why I decided backstabs had to go, but I did. Although, in essence I've just introduced a worse feature, since there's no mechanic for breaking out if RS!Spy gets you, and it takes time to finish - although, I figure RS!Spy could just run away if, say, he saw a Pyro approaching.
