The Engineer

The Engineer is a mercenary and is a playable character from the Team Fortress 2 game.

In the Heroes Coalition fics, the Engineer is currently a member of the Heroes Coalition as one of it's coaches and trainers.

Appearance
The Engineer is a man wearing a red jacket underneath a brown overalls, orange oversized gloves, black boots, an orange helmet and dark brown shades.

Personality
The Engineer is a soft-spoken, amiable Texan, with an interest in all mechanical things.

Abilities
The Engineer specializes in constructing and maintaining Buildingsthat provide support to his team, rather than fighting at the front lines, making him the most suitable for defense. The Engineer's various gadgets include the Sentry Gun, an automated turret that fires at any enemy in range, the Dispenser, a device that restores the health and ammunition of nearby teammates, and Teleporters that quickly transport players from point A to point B.

Because the Engineer's ingenious devices are under constant threat from explosives and devious enemy Spies, a good Engineer must keep his gear under a watchful eye and under repair with his Wrench at all times. When the Engineer needs to get his hands dirty, his trio of generic yet capable weapons, along with the assistance of his helpful hardware, make him more than capable of holding his own in a fight. If need be, the Engineer can even pick up and haul constructed buildings to redeploy them in more favorable locations. While usually viewed as a defensive class, the Engineer has a selection of high-tech weapons that allow him to destroy projectiles or to build faster-deploying, less damaging Sentry Guns, which give him great utility at the front lines too. His Teleporters are also a key point to both the offensive and defensive team's success, allowing slower, heavier classes to reach the front-lines quicker.
