User blog:That Engineer/The Loud Kids as Team Fortress 2 Classes

I've always pictured in my head what the Louds might be like if they were in the realm of Team Fortress. Based on the collective character traits from both sides, I came with the following.

Lori as, The Soldier -  Given her Drill Sergeant Nasty rountine from No Guts, No Glori, this class would be an obvious pick. In the show, Lori is often depicted as being tyrannical and likes being seen as a superior to her siblings. In TF2, the soldier is very brash and is the self-appointed leader of the team, despite the fact he has several screws loose. It's not hard to imagine Lori ordering her siblings around while brandishing a semi-automatic rocket launcher and wearing a helmet too large for her head, though she'd be more wise not to drink the fountain water at any of the bases. (Lead poisoning is the reason why the soldier is so dense).

Leni as, The Pyro - Leni is...pretty dense in a number of situations (up to the point you have to question how can she be so naive). She does have some smarts when it comes to fashion, and she does like seeing rhe joy of everything in life. It's no question that the Pyro is the most insane character in the game due to the fact he thinks he's spreading joy, but in reality he's unknowingly burning people alive. Leni could easily fill this role through the same thought process. To the other team, she'll quickly become the most feared out of all the Louds. Whether it's just the goggles she uses or the fact she's just blissfully unaware of her actions is anyone's guess.

Luna as, The Demowoman - Now, most would think that based on the fact she talks in a British accent, copies Mick Swagger very often, and tends to use some Brit mannerisms which could translate into Australian stuff would make you think Luna might be better suited as the sniper. However, Luna is VERY, VERY loud and doesn't seem to hold a lot of patience, something that's the opposite when it comes to the Sniper. The sound waves she often makes could blow people through walls if they were powerful enough. The demo is equally as loud when he's on a rampage or in a drunken stupor, and most fics from what I've seen often depict Luna as being a drinker due to her upcoming rockstar lifestyle. Now, whether Luna would get a cursed eye that haunts the team every halloween is up for debate.

Luan as, The Sniper -  Luan is a pretty interesting case. She loves making a lot of jokes and puns, some of which make me think she might be more aligned with the Scout. However, as seen in April Fools Rules, the girl sure knows how to hide and strike when you least expect it, similar to the spy. The Sniper is known for making wise cracks after he kills someone while on a killing streak, even though most of the time he's quiet. Since Luan could be constantly making puns, this would give away her position if she were a spy. At a distance, at least she'd have the merit of mocking her opponent when few would hear her. Arguably, Luan might not be suited for the Sniper either, as she can be a little...crazy. However, even though Sniper, along with the Engineer and Spy, are considered the more level-headed of the mercs, even the bushman isn't above being a bit wonky. Not only that, but when the situation calls for it, Luan can be serious when she needs to be.

Lynn as, The Scout - Really shouldn't have to explain this. Two cocky people who are the fastest in their group, tend to make a lot of witty comments and snarky remarks, and don't have an off switch. Helps that they have a thing for baseball, and are incredibly impatient.

Lincoln as, The Engineer - The Man With The Plan sounds close to the Sniper's 'Have a plan to kill everyone​ you meet'. Having to deal with 10 girls of varying personalities day in and day out, Lincoln has been shown to have lot of patience, another requirement for the sniper. However, one does need some considerable amount of planning to plant an effective sentry nest. Since Lincoln likes to take many possibilities into consideration, this mirriors that of engineers as they need to take into account the paths enemies will take, the range of their sentry, whether said sentry can fire on enemies as soon as they appear, and having an escape route should Lily's diaper hit the fan. Also, when defending, engineers usually need a good amount of patience and readiness waiting for enemies to come to them, and to watch out for spies.

Lucy as, The Spy - Want an easy way to make a girl who loves scaring people by popping out of nowhere into a literal pain in your backside? Give her a disguise kit and a butterfly knife. Due to Lucy's uncanny ability to remain hidden for periods of time, Spy is an obvious choice for her. Plus, her quiet nature would definitely be the opposite of what Luan would be doing, along with the fact that while Luan prefers to snipe from a distance behind friendly lines, Lucy sneaks into the enemy's backyard to give them a nice, warm greeting.

Lona as, The Heavy -  Originally, I would just have Lana as the woman with the BFG, but she isn't as hammy as Lola. So, why not combine the two? Both twins ended up merged together thanks to one of Lisa's experiments, and now she has both the strength and bratty nature to be a thorn in the side of anyone she comes across. While Lynn may qualify as she is technically considered the strongest out of the louds, none of the twins aren't fast enough to be a Scout.

Lisa as, The Medic - Girl who has a thing for biology? Check. Uses siblings as guinea pigs to further her own research? Check. Has a rather morbid curiousity? BIG Check. The Medic has often said his healing is a byproduct of what he's really doing, and even his ground-breaking gamechanger, the ubercharge, was the byproduct of an experiment. Honestly, Lisa, Lucy, and Lynn had the most obvious choices.

Lily as, The Civilian -  Because she's a baby, Lily is sadly not that useful.
