Weird Soldier

"*HmMmMmMmMmMmM*"

**Weird Soldier** is a RED Soldier TF2 Freak created by YouTube user CrazyScoutFIN. He is a member of a subspecies of Soldier known as bucket heads.

His theme is the Character Select Theme from Tekken 1 (Arcade).

## Appearance

Weird Soldier originally started out as a quivering Soldier with a Brain Bucket on his scalp, although in one video, he appeared wearing a baseball cap of unknown origins. Compared to other bucket heads, Weird Soldier's bucket is grey.

## Personality and Behavior

The Weird Soldier, along with all bucket heads, can be identified through his constant unsure attitude, usually holding his arms up to his chest and his eyes constantly darting around in an almost paranoid fashion.

With this insecure behavior, the Weird Soldier sometimes releases a low, droning hum, and oftentimes shies away from anything that could be harmful. The bucket head species seems to be aware of their awkward disposition.

## Powers and Abilities

The main form of anything power related is the ability to enlarge it's bucket and use it teleport across the various maps of TF2. It has been shown it can take other classes with it. A new feature of this mysterious bucket is the fact that, when placed on a normal mercenary's head, they too adopt the Weird Soldier's personality and traits in a bizarre form of assimilation (though this is apparently frowned upon by his red bucket wearing brothers.)

In his few times that he actually willingly took part in battles, against the Necklace Sniper's Heavy Guard, when it seemed like he was about to be hit, within a split nano-second, had a decoy scarecrow in his place as he appeared in some other location.

As seen in Bizarre Bucket 2, Weird Soldier is able to lunge or leap at adversaries in an almost gravity-defying way, appearing to rotate and T-pose in the air whilst rapidly approaching his target.

Weird Soldier appears to be more durable than regular humans. This is seen in Bizarre Bird when he is dropped into a vat of lava, wherein which Weird Soldier not only survives, but appears to remain unaffected by the lava altogether. He is not, however, invulnerable, as he is seen in Bizarre Bucket running away from the Bucket Head police officers, who fire at him with an SMG.

## Faults and Weaknesses

Weird Soldier's major flaw is he's usually passive. A mere glare or a stern no is enough to warrant him to retreat or to cower in fear.

Another more obvious weakness is sometimes, he can not control the teleportation powers of his bucket, and once, even landed in a vat of hot lava due to it. (He didn't seem to mind though.)

## Trivia

* The Weird Soldier's name was defined in the video titled *Weird Soldier*, but has never been referred to it in any media he appeared in. Fans of CrazyScoutFin's videos have named him multiple names:
	+ Insecure Soldier, due to it's scared nature.
	+ Shy Soldier, due to, again, it's scared and often shy nature.
	+ Stu, a name that evolved in the comment section.
	+ Bizarre Soldier, a name that stemmed from it mainly being in the Bizarre series by CrazyScoutFin.
	+ Bucket Head, a species-referential term used by the Necklace Sniper in Bizarre Bucket 4.
* Despite it's odd behavior, it sometimes has good intentions, like reviving the Sniper in one video, saving a decapicated Heavy's head from a tribe of Medic Birds and re-attaching it to it's body. But recently, in Bizarre Bucket, a more "aggressive" side can be seen, as he willingly targets Heavy Guard and the Necklace Sniper.
* His species follow some sort of law where they can not place their buckets on others heads or they face a strict law system (which is delivered by a duo of Weird Soldier cops in a broken down car).
* The telltale sign of a Weird Soldier is their almost electronic droning hum.
* At least one Weird Soldier was born with the ability to speak, and this was feared amongst his people.
