Lago

"*My oh my, how the tables have turned, my friend!*"

Lago is a RED Scout TF2 freak that works as a Police Officer for a secret agency created by Mann Co, often heading into Public Servers to support his team. He commonly aids his place of residence in tasks such as bounty hunting, crime solving, and even becoming an on-off lawyer for cases he is intended to take part in.

Lago's theme is Sam and Max's Office Theme when idling but turns into the Driving Theme when in combat.

## Appearance

Lago appears as a RED scout wearing the Track Terrorizer, Max's Severed Head, License to Maim, and the Ball-Kicking Boots. The bunny beanie he wears on his head seems to be the source to his sheer insanity, as he seems to change personality from a chaotic bunny-like Scout into a reasonably sane person with none of his previous abilities.

## Biography

Lago was once a scout wearing the Pomade Prince and Track Terrorizer, going from game to game with his Strange Killstreak Lugermorph, shooting down the BLU Team and thanking his deceased victims after every kill, making sure to speak of his respects after every game played. Scoring 10-15 killstreaks every game, he was happy with what he had and was sure to cherish it every single day.

Unto one fateful day, he was playing on Foundry, capping the control point with his team as usual. His Demo gets lured out by a strange figure in the shadows, hearing them get brutally murdered. Then his Sniper, who wields the Cleaner's Carbine and Shahanshah, walks outside to take out the threat. He disappears, as well as the Soldier, Pyro, and Medic, leaving Lago alone on the point.

Lago eventually swallows his courage after capping the point to see what went on, grabbing his Back Scatter and trying to cleanse the area. After some sound cues, Lago scores 3 meat shots on Q'Vert before getting his gun grabbed and tossed away. Lago tries to fight back, but gets his arm snapped and brutalized in other ways with a Bat Outta Hell.

Eventually, Lago gets picked up through Klynn's red glowing Control Strings and taken to a ruined version of Turbine, to be reborn in the form of the Lago he is today. He was ordered to follow Klyn in all of his missions, but he refused and got banished to Sub realm Kax-991. He eventually got rescued by Tex after a scuffle with Klyn's demonic Neutralized Minions.

## Personality and Behavior

Lago shares traits with Max (Sam and Max) combined with the run-of-the-mill Scout personality. He often makes witty remarks and jokes outside of battle, often making smart-alecky responses towards his team's "lust" towards a medic, which he jokingly deems "kind of sexy, but not my type". In battle, however, he becomes a lean mean killing machine with a lust for blood unrivaled by anyone, Freak or not, he faces in battle. When capturing Australium briefcases, he is often recorded scoring 10, 15, or even 27 killstreaks without breaking a sweat, making him one of the most fearsome creatures any BLU-team Freak can report on.

This is all a side-effect of his Max hat, however. Should it be knocked off of his head, he will change personalities suddenly, turning from his bloodthirsty bunny persona into a kind-hearted, but confused Scout. Without his hat though, he suffers some serious side effects, forcing him to put his hat back on. With or without his hat, he will still have hatred for those who have wronged or damaged him in the past, showing that the hat being taken off doesn't affect his general relationship with people.

Lago has little to no reliance on any healing items in combat, instead using the aspect from surprise to get the jump on his opponents. Using a modified Pip-Boy to have the spy watch format, he can cloak and quickly get away from harm if he is outnumbered, potentially using it to get his desired sneak-attack. Should he have "even" odds (ex. 1v2, 1v3), he will face his problems head-on, taking an offensive strategy instead of a defensive one, like most regular scouts do. If Lago is facing someone in a pub, he will attack them regardless of whether they are a friendly or not.

## Powers and Abilities

Lago, being a Bunny/Human Scout freak, possesses a myriad of abilities that help him and aid him in hunting down a valuable item or specimen for his mission. His speed is somewhat decreased, but he is easily able to outclass any other freak by B-hopping out of their range. As well as a virtually infinite inventory, he has several other miscellaneous abilities that make him a fearsome foe.

* Due to having Australium injected into his bloodstream, he is able to recover from injury much faster than other freaks. He can also conduct the unusual effects from raw Australium to speed up coagulation three times over.

* Lago possesses psychic abilities that can be used to physically harm people, as well as aid agents in finding their target. Some of these abilities include precognition, telekinesis, telepathy, and power perception.

* He seems to carry around a burning boxing glove with the Valve trait, allowing them to regenerate all of their health from a single punch and light their enemy on fire, as well as dealing heaps of damage when required.

* Due to the Eureka Effect in his inventory, he can teleport in various ways, not just to an inactive teleporter. He can teleport to the bomb, control point, intelligence, or any other required item to defend and secure it.

## Faults and Weaknesses

Lago, being a scout, is still vulnerable to being mortally wounded at any time due to his human-like durability. Due to this, he is often forced to take a defensive stance in order to get the sneak attack on his foes. With this, he is also masochistic, to the point of tanking through copious amounts of bullets and other weaponry without getting carried away, making him vulnerable to mortal injury at any moment. Lago also runs slightly slower than a regular scout, which may hinder him when running from an attack. His soft spot can also be an easy target, as it can put him in a daze, leaving him vulnerable for an attacker inside or outside of combat/

## Trivia

* Lago is inspired by Max, from Sam and Max. In Lago's lore, he was created due to Max being taken from his realm by Klynn' and turned into a hat through violent means.
