The Fem!Medic
Alright, I’m back, and this time I’m writing for the Fem!Medic.
First things first, I find it easier to call her Miss Medic. Alliteration and all that. Anyway. I’ve been thinking on her a lot and I’ve been poking around, I don’t know exactly what the official design is for Miss Medic in the community, but so far I’ve been impressed with some of the stuff I’ve seen.
Here’s my version of Miss Medic.
I apologize for the sketchy quality. Microsoft Paint is my tool of choice for coloring. (also my only tool for coloring.) She’s based off of a couple different pictures.
First, there’s the absolutely beautiful design by doctor-assisted-homicide
Like, this is literally exactly her face and hair as I imagined it. Exactly. The. Face. Exactly. Like, don’t even look at the face on mine. Just use this one. The glasses for mine are different though. I like the circle glasses, they just need to be bigger. This was inspired by this picture I don’t have a citation for. Sorry whoever drew it. It’s not mine (duh).
I like the large circle glasses on this Medic, and my mind’s eye also originally liked the bun. I don’t know, maybe the bun will be reserved for the backstory, and the hair by doctor-assisted-homicide is the hair for present day... yeah.... I like that.
The rest of the Medic I drew was inspired by a red jacket I had lying around (It looks pretty exactly as it does in the sketch. I’m too lazy to go get a picture of the real one deal with it) and the Male Medic’s uniform. I stepped away from the skirts I’ve been seeing, mostly because it seems impractical to run in a pencil skirt.
Some other headcanons I have about Miss Medic; her Dove’s name is Andromeda. We’re genderbending the Medic, why not his bird?
Also. The Syringe gun and the Bonesaw are both fantastic weapons, but why can’t the Medic (either/both Medics) use other surgical tools as weapons? I think a scalpel or some surgical scissors would make a great emergency shank.
Alright, so you’ve seen the design, what about the story? I haven’t seen a lot of backstories written for her (probably because I haven’t been looking too hard.... whatever. If anyone has a cool one let me know).
First off, how you classify the AU is very important to how Miss Medic’s story changes. If the AU is one where the Medic is still the medic, just as a girl, then his previous backstory, whatever that may be, stands. However, if the AU is one where there are the original nine mercenaries, AND the fem fortress team, then that’s another story. Literally.
Alright stop stalling. I’m AUing in the sense that there are two teams out there, a Male and a Female. Which means Miss Medic and the Medic are two different people.
I don’t know exactly what the Medic specializes in, if anything, but Miss Medic is a specialist in Neurology. She knows absolutely everything there is to know about nerves, the nervous system, neuroscience, basically everything about nerves. She finished Med school, and was on her way to becoming a neurosurgeon, when she falls victim to a car crash. This paralyses the Medic’s legs, specifically because the spinal cord was severed in the Lumbar Vertebrae. Unable to walk or stand, she is unfit for duty.
Not to be kept down by her injuries, Miss Medic threw herself into research and development of a way to fix her legs. The result? Miss Medic’s Medigun formula. It reinforces the nervous system, strengthening neurons and healing damaged ones.
To regain the use of her legs, Miss Medic injects the formula. It’s more potent that way, and works faster than the mist from the Medigun. It’s also what gives Miss Medic her passive healing ability. The Male Medic’s is caused by his leaking Medigun, but Miss Medic’s doesn’t leak because it was built for her by the lab boys, who wanted maximum efficiency. The Formula is only strong enough to give her back her legs if she injects it, and only lasts so long as it’s in her bloodstream. When the drugs wear off and are naturally filtered out, the cure stops working and she becomes paralyzed again.
The reason for this is that the injury, in this case her severed nerves, had time to heal over before she tried to heal it with the formula. This is also probably why the Medic can’t heal the Demoman’s missing eye. All the other wounds healed by the Medigun are recent wounds, usually ones that are still open and fresh. The Demoman lost his eye long before the gravel wars, and the medigun can’t heal what’s already been healed.
Anyway, Miss Medic opens a clinic. She can’t come back to the surgical community having miraculously recovered from the injury she received, so she runs a quiet little office for old people suffering from the early stages of certain neurological disorders, and has a 100% success rate with the use of her new cure.
She stays there and conducts business until she’s contacted by Miss Pauling. She offers her a proposition she can’t refuse. Namely, money. Lots of money. She offers her a position in an experimental new wing of Redmond Mann’s army in the Gravel Wars, the all-female team. The hope is that coming from a new angle of attack will give them an edge, and the girls are that new angle.
This team is stationed and trained up in Coldfront. It’s cold, male teams get switched out pretty regularly, and unfortunate accidents can be arranged up in those snowy mountains.
The mercenaries are expected to be just as good as the Male teams, and they’re given access to their tech. Miss Medic combines her formula with the preexisting one.
They all train pretty hard, and sharpen their skills against unsuspecting BLU teams. Usually these are the ones Blutarch (Cough the Administrator cough) doesn’t care about and wants disposed of. Because of all the snow, the white obscuring and blending in with the RED team’s signature color, they start being called the Pink team. (I will find a ridiculous acronym for PNK some other time) It’s not their official name, and no one would dare address them as such, but it’s a nickname nonetheless. Albeit one that is treated as a ghost story.
Most of the BLUs up in Coldfront don’t actually believe the PNK team exists. They haven’t seen it, or seen proof of it, and the BLUs who go up against the PNK team don’t come back. (Side note. I do enjoy the thought of the BLU Soldier talking about how they’re going to “destroy those RED ladies!” etc etc only to find that they will, in fact, be fighting an actual team of RED ladies.)
Time passes, the team becomes pretty well acquainted with their new jobs, and eventually they get good enough that Coldfront isn’t a challenge anymore. It’s time to move on to the Big Leagues.
That story, although incredibly interesting and full of detail, will be put on hold for the moment while I talk some more about Miss Medic. This is her post after all.
I headcanon (is that a real verb?) that Miss Medic wears neurotoxic lipstick. She started development on it after she was paralyzed because she wanted some way to defend herself. It’s proven itself to be useful on missions, when she runs out of ammo or a BLU Spy underestimates the Medic and attempts to ahem disrespect her. All it takes is skin on skin contact between her lips and her victim for the poison to take immediate effect. She is protected from her own weapon because of the medicine she has to take everyday, as well as just a general immunity built up over time from using the stuff.
Headcanon number two (honestly at this point it’s more like headcanon number 264) is the FemHeavy. I don’t have many ideas about the Heavy Weapons Gal, but I do think that the Medic-Heavy team still stands. Enough so that the Heavy will take care of her Medic, and that the Medic trusts the Heavy enough to have her keep an emergency syringe of Miss Medic’s medication in the last space on the Heavy’s bandolier. Also the Heavy’s name is Anya.
That’s it for now, the next post I make will probably be about the PNK team joining the RED team in their standard base of operations.
Medic done!
Basically 1 down, 8 to go. Yikes
FEM FORTRESS 2!!!
I tried to safe all features from original mercs in fem version and added some of my headcanons!
(Translation of the dialogue between femHeavy and her dad:
Dad: Here, take some bear meat for the road
Heavy: thanks, dad)
