The Masked Spy

"*I can feel the blood, coursing through my veins!*"

**The Masked Spy** is a vampire BLU Spy TF2 Freak created by YouTube user Blackimus.

## Appearance

The Masked Spy is a BLU Spy who wears a green knotted bandana over his long blonde hair; The Phantom's Facade and a Distinguished Rogue, "Tie" styled. His face is pale white, with orange eyes and vampire fangs.

## Personality and Behavior

Personality wise, the Masked Spy is a menace to everyone present in the server he enters. He's extremely self-centered and confident, thinking highly of himself being above everyone else due to his vampiric, superhuman and stand abilities. These boastful manners were shown when he repeatedly ordered Heavy Guy to activate his stand during their fight.

He takes pleasure in inflicting pain to others, toying with his victims before finishing them off for the better or worse.

## Powers and Abilities

The Masked Spy inherits vampiric fitness, allowing him to be a very strong, durable, and fast opponent. He has been shown to leap far distances with ease, and has been beaten down by Heavy Guy's own stand - Crush - several times before finally being incapacitated. His vampiric properties give him a higher pain tolerance, which is a perfect compliment to his already durable body.

The Masked Spy possesses the ability to regenerate his body; he is able to drain blood from his enemy via physical contact, and then use that blood to power his vampiric healing factor so organs and bones within seconds will be healed.

### Fight the System

The Masked Spy uses a gadget-bound stand called Fight the System. It has some resemblance to switchblades such as the Sharp Dresser or Big Earner, but with a more sophisticated and highly advanced look to it. The blade is retractable, making a distinct noise when doing so. When the stand is being used to perform any sort of action involving it's ability, it's body will emit brief blue colored LED lights through some of its protrusions.

Fight the System's abilities can be summarized as portable malware for any kind of machinery, such as buildings made by Engineers and even the server the stand user is currently in. When the stand user desires to infiltrate the systems of a machine, Fight the System's blade must be unsheathed and then "connected" by making physical contact with the target. In terms of "hijacking" a server, no physical contact is necessary as FtS can remotely access it by spawning one of its many data cubes with the stand user's commands. It will then contact with the server and fulfill FtS' demand.

Some of the known abilities of FtS include:

* **Item Spawning**: Spawns world entities such as Halloween gifts and Spy knives.
* **Body Absorption**: Absorbs the body of a dead victim, deleting them permanently from the data network.
* **Entity Manipulation:** The Masked Spy controlled one of his dead victims (a RED Medic) as a puppet, managed to give him a way to bypass friendly fire, allowing the controlled Medic to kill his own teammates and was proven to be a perfectly preserved disguise with no changes whatsoever.
* **RCON Access**: Fight the System successfully turned off the respawn system of a standard Fragging server, a command that can only be accessible and possible to be used by a server owner.

## Faults and Weaknesses

* The Masked Spy's confidence can be his undoing as seen in his fight against Heavy Guy where he wasn't taking the fight seriously by underestimating and taunting his opponent which resulted in opportunities for Heavy Guy to overpower him.
* Completely destroying his heart while leaving him no means of healing (medipack or blood) can result in his death.
* Exposure to sunlight causes his skin to burn while also greatly decreasing the efficiency of his healing factor. This however doesn't set him literally on fire and won't kill him instantly as it would take at least an entire day of exposure.
* Light, angelic and holy attacks causes the same effects as sunlight.

## Trivia

* His appearance is inspired by Dio Brando from *JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Phantom Blood.*
* Fight the System's overall look and usage is inspired by the Parazon, a gadget from the videogame called Warframe.
