At its peak, ''Ya Boy Network'' / ''yaboy Network'' was a Website/{{Twitter}} roleplay group set in the VideoGame/{{Team Fortress 2}} universe, with characters from other Creator/{{Valve}}-made video games, [[FanonDiscontinuity characters based on existing characters]], and a few [[AnimateInanimateObject inanimate objects]]. It was intended to imagine waht Team Fortress 2 mercenaries, among others, would be like with [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation very loosely interpreted personalities]] and with Twitter accounts.
However, that vision didn't last long. Out of the Twitter accounts created for this roleplay around summer 2014, the majority are no longer accessible, and [[https://twitter.com/yaboymedic the]] [[https://twitter.com/yaboyheavy surviving]] [[https://twitter.com/yaboybludemo ones]] [[https://twitter.com/yaboy_scout stopped]] [[https://twitter.com/yaboy_spy tweeting]] in character years ago. Thus, there's no longer a coherent narrative outside of this page.
!! The Ya Boy Network contains examples of:
* AfterActionPatchup: Despite having multiple medics, the mercenaries seem to prefer to have their friends or significant others tend to their wounds unless the situation is dire. Femedic and BLU Medic have been known to extend their services to members of the opposite team either out of duty or for the sake of a teammate.
* AffectionateNickname: Mag-pie, to Maggie from Sniper.
* AGodAmI: Bread became one after jumping down the throat of a giant demon dog-like creature, much to the distress of others.
* AlcoholInducedIdiocy: Most of the group's antics result from alcohol consumed.
* AmnesiacLover: Bidwell and Jerry when Bidwell lost his memory.
* {{An Arm and a Leg}}: Bidwell gave up his leg in order to stop the demonic possessions.
* AnimateInanimateObject: Bread, Sandvich, Dispenser, and for a time Sentry and Bombinomicon. Clutch was believed to be one for a while, thought it was later revealed that she was in fact a fairy living inside it, and the clutch itself was actually inanimate.
* ArtificialLimbs: RED Engineer and BLU Engineer have prosthetic right hands, Femgie and Jerry have prosthetic right arms, Bidwell has a prosthetic left leg, and Spyborg has an entire prosthetic body from the neck down.
* BecauseImGoodAtIt: Most of the mercenaries keep doing their jobs because they're good at it. When they do their actual jobs.
* BerserkButton: While usually keeping control of themselves, RED Soldier shows this when someone uses his not being in the military as an insult, and SpyHead flips if dehumanized or if his lack of a body is used as an insult.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: So much. All characters are aware that they're in a video game (some had [[DumbStruck better reactions to this than others]]), and often complain about things that a fan of the series would only know. Additionally, several of the characters can hear the muns talk to each other OOC, and occasionally comment on it, or join in in the conversation.
* Cannibal: In a state of high spirtes, Bread ate a cupcake. They realized their mistake just moments later, quickly requesting mouthwash. [[note]] Once stating the issues to others, Bread mainly said things along the lines of ENEHUH and AHUEH. [[/note]]
* CantHoldHisLiquor: RED Scout, Femscout
* CasualKink: BLU Engineer casually told RED Soldier that he'd hog-tie him when he got back home. Soldier was the only one in the network who had no idea what he was talking about. The same was true about Soldier-mun and the other muns. This later was dubbed ''"The Soldier Rope Awareness Experience Extravaganza"'', later shortened to ''"The Rope Extravaganza"''.
-->'''Femgie (OOC):''' ((and now the soldier rope awareness experience extravaganza begins?))
** Blu Pyro also kept a collar on TentaSpy with implied pet play.
* ChastityCouple: Femsolly and Femgie. While they'd gone out on several dates, shared a bed for around a week while in Paris, and talked like they've been in love with each other for ''years'', they hadn't even gone so far as to kiss.
-->'''Femsolly (OOC):''' Girl we be classy\\
'''Femgie (OOC):''' u kno it
* CityOfWeirdos: Teufort, even more than in the regular Team Fortress 2 canon.
* ContagiousAI: At a specific time each hour,[[note]]Said specific time keeps changing, from on the hour, to 55 past, to half past, to 25 past...[[/note]] the chat bot that RED Engineer set up will tweet one of several lines involving scolding RED Soldier. So, when Femgie said "soldier no" to Soldier at exactly 55 past (the time at that point where Engineer's chat bot would go off), everyone assumed this to be the case.
* ConvenientlyCommonKink: A surprising number of the mercs definitely show {{Robosexual}} and sadomasochistic tendencies.
* CulturedBadass: In addition to possessing several large guns, RED Heavy has a degree in Russian Literature, enjoys art and high quality alcohol.
%%* DemonicPossession: Bidwell, Red Heavy, Femscout, Blu Engineer, Blu Medic, Spyhead, and Jerry
* DistaffCounterpart: Played with. The opposite sex counterparts of various characters play this straight appearance-wise. However, they have very different personalities, relationships, and abilities when compared to each other.
* DrowningMySorrows: Many group members turn to alcohol out of frustration, or when excess fourth wall breaking occurs.
-->'''Femgie:''' ok while all yall are having coffee im drowning my crushed expectations in alcohol
* EmbarrassingNickname / AffectionateNickname:
** BLU SpyHead: Spyborg- in reference to his android-like body.
** RED Heavy Weapons Guy frequently attaches "tiny" or "baby" when referring to individuals, though it varies from person to person. Ms. Pauline is referred to as "Purple Lady", Tentaspy is referred to as "Tiny Squidspy", depending on how Tentaspy is acting, etc.
** Femscout calls RED Heavy Weapons Guy "big guy".
** Femspy, when they were together, had a habit of calling Femscout "good girl" but has switched to Kenny after learning Femscout's [[FirstNameBasis first name]].
** "Janie Cakes", to RED Soldier.
-->'''BLU Engineer:''' its alright Janie cakes...\\
(...)
-->'''BLU Engineer:''' alright but i don't wanna crush your hand\\
'''RED Soldier:''' you won't i'm tough\\
'''BLU Demoman:''' yeah janie cakes is hella tough and rough\\
'''RED Soldier:''' tavish degroot you're a dead man
-->'''BLU Engineer:''' ''(after hearing that RED Soldier's nickname was going to be brought back to make this page)'' Janie-Cakes returns. \\
'''BLU Demoman:''' Actually feel bad about nagging him looking back on it haha\\
'''BLU Engineer:''' Janie-Cakes reins supreme. Be proud darlin'. I am.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Many of the characters who only were referred to as their class name have been given full names, in addition to those whose names have been revealed in canon.
** RED Soldier: Jane Doe
** BLU Engineer: Dell Conagher
** Fem!RED Engineer: Annie Williams
** BLU Sniper: Leonard
** Fem!RED Soldier: Virginia
** Fem!RED Scout: Kenzi
** BLU Heavy: Viktor
** BLU SpyHead: Patrice

** Bread: Wheatly
** Fem!BLU Spy: Clémentine Bonnefoy
** Fem!RED Medic: Matilda Jeager
** Miss Pauling: Rose
** Mr. Pauling: Gabriel
** BLU Medic: Dennis
** TentaSpy: Christophe
* FirstNameBasis: RED Soldier accidentally called Femgie by her first name when he feared for her life. Since they aren't even supposed to know the others' names in the first place, calling another merc by their first name is rather intimate in the group, so it came as even more of a shock. Now with her [[{{Polyamory}} addition]] to RED Soldier and BLU Engineer's relationship, she's started calling them by their first names, as have they with each other; Engineer, Femgie, and Soldier have become Dell, Annie, and Jane.
-->'''Soldier:''' WHAT\\
'''Soldier:''' ANNIE WHERE ARE YOU\\
'''Femgie:''' -respawns- um. -waves at- this... yeah, this is working. hi\\
'''Soldier:''' oh. god. okay. you're okay.\\
'''Femgie:''' so, uh...\\
'''Femgie:''' we're on real name-basis now?
** As of recent, nearly all of the couples have been calling each other by their first names.
* FlorenceNightingaleEffect: BLU Medic and Tentaspy.
* GenderBender: Happened to Tentaspy, brought on by simple curiosity and a discussion with the in-house wizard and plot device-bringer, Merasmus. Also temporarily happened to all of the mercs when Hale read one of Merasmus' spells.
* GloriousMotherRussia: Both the RED and BLU Heavy hail from Russia.
* HearingVoices: A few characters have been noted as hearing voices (mostly the OOC chatter).
** Tentaspy "hears" the OOC text the most clearly in addition to the voices he regularly hears as a result of his waxing and waning mental stability.
** BLU Medic shows signs of psychosis and occasionally hears and sees things as a result.
** Bread has been able to hear the OOC talk since they became a god.
** RED Soldier hears, among other things, the OOC talk. Most of the time, he ignores it, as a bunch of giggling teenagers is easier to ignore than the rest of the mental voices he has to deal with.
* HeartbreakAndIcecream: Mentioned by Femscout-mun as a way for Femscout to get over Femspy.
* HopelessSuitor: Styx, the fairy living inside BLU Pyro's cosmetic bag (though referred to as a clutch in the network), to Femmedic, who is engaged to Femspy.
* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Heavy (6'5") and Femscout (5')
* HurricaneOfPuns: Bread-based puns, generally. It doesn't take much to get them going; the trouble is getting them to stop. The group also spent several hours making bad bee puns.
* IAmNotWeasel: Certain non-human characters here are often victim of misidentification, though it is usually intentional at this point.
** Bread- There was much debate over what to call their "beauty marks" and even what the preferred gender was.
** Clutch/Styx- While actually being a pixie, she is still called "Clutch" from time to time. She was originally misidentified as a purse. Tentaspy intentionally calls her anything ''except'' "Clutch"ranging from loofah, wallet, shoe, and even lanière (thong).
** Tentaspy- Often mistaken as being half octopus. He's simply gotten tired of correcting people most of the time.
* IAMAHumanitarian: TentaSpy exclusively eats meats, the most common being human flesh. BLU Medic once gave himself a taste for flesh with a mysterious serum. He locked himself into his lab for a few days after taking a trip to Teufort and returning coated in blood.
* INeedAFreakingDrink: Whenever something bad happens, something weird happens, or a character is simply stressed, this is the immediate reaction. It's come to a point where many characters have a go-to drink for this case.
** Jerry's quest to buy the 99-for-$99 pack of Peacemaker Anytime Ale.
*** It reached a level where, during the summer, nearly every Wednesday most of the group [[IllTellYouWhenIveHadEnough spent the entire day]] [[TheAlcoholic drinking very heavily.]]
* InSeriesNickname: Femgie, which is an {{In Series Nickname}} for Femgie, which is an {{In Series Nickname}} for Fem!Engineer, which is an {{In Series Nickname}} for Female Engineer... you see where this is going.
* InterspeciesAdoption: BLU Pyro adopted Styx, a 2048-year-old pixie who lived inside his cosmetic bag. Maggie and Sniper also adopted her, but once Pyro got offended by this, they became something of a supportive aunt and uncle.
** Femgie (and, by association, BLU Engineer and RED Soldier) adopted the sentient Level 3 Dispenser, who was built by the RED Engineer, because he was never online anymore.
* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: A few years back, the RED Soldier stole a coffee mug and an ID badge from an Aperture Laboratories employee. While it wasn't the most impressive trophy choice, having that ID badge on hand let him break back into Aperture much later on to rescue Femgie.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tentaspy. While cold to nearly every single character in the network, he dotes over his partner, BLU Medic.
* KindheartedCatLover: BLU Engineer, with seven cats (Tinkerbelle is the mother, one of the kittens is named Kevin), two of which have been put on hold to be adopted by Helen (naming her's Satan) and Spyborg (naming his Lucifer). Femgie has a kitten, named [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Daisy.]] Bidwell has five cats: Katrina and Ike, the parents, and Hazel, Charlie, Sandy.
* KidnappedScientist: Femgie was once kidnapped to Aperture Laboratories, where the rest of her right arm was removed. This was resolved as that from a previous incident, Aperture knew she had a prosthetic, and decided to take her for prosthetic research. What they ''didn't'' realize was that the prosthetic they were going to give her was for an entire right arm, and she had only lost her hand. So, her right arm was amputated, and she woke up and was rescued by RED Soldier before they could've given her a new prosthetic.
* LightAndDark: Bidwell, Red Heavy, Femscout, Blu Medic, Spyhead, and Jerry were all possessed by demons who seemed to control shadows. Blu Heavy and Fem!Red Scout often spoke of darkness, but Fem!Red Scout also claimed they were of light.
* {{Lilliputians}}: Styx, who is 4 inches tall.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Tentaspy; half BLU Spy, half squid.
%%* MightyGlacier: Both the RED and BLU Heavies.
* OverprotectiveDad: BLU Pyro to Styx. Note that BLU Pyro is most likely in his 30s, while Styx is a 2048-year-old fairy who is in no way related to him.
%%* {{Polyamory}}: BLU Engineer, Femgie, and RED Soldier.
* PowersViaPossession: When possessed by demons, the mercs gained different powers.
%%* PsychoForHire: The mercs.
* {{Reveille}}: RED Soldier used to do this at 6 AM most mornings, even to those who were already awake, to the hatred of most.
* {{Robosexual}}: Femgie, Femscout, The Administrator, and mentioned offhand by Tentaspy.
-->'''Merasmus:''' ...because I'm not fucking a robot...\\
'''Tentaspy:''' Alright, I see the logic, robots can be fun tho.
* {{Running Gag}}: Jerry having a "Dr. Pepper dick" and being a Bad Weenie.
* RuleSixtyThree: The FemMercs; Femgie[[note]]Fem!Engineer[[/note]] Femmedic, Femspy, Femsolly[[note]]Fem!Soldier[[/note]], and Mr.Pauling.
** See GenderBender.
* SelfSurgery: Blu Medic has a habit of this, both out of necessity and entertainment.
* ShoutOut:
** Femgie often mentions in and out of character her love of ''Franchise/EvilDead''.
** Spyborg's prosthetic body looks like a human-sized [[Film/PacificRim Striker Eureka.]]
** Jerry's prosthetic arm was modeled after [[Film/CaptainAmericatheWinterSoldier Bucky's.]]
** Jerry and Femgie (as well as their muns) are fans of Blitzen Trapper, specifically ''Black River Killer'' and ''Evening Star''. Both have posts liked by Blitzen Trapper, and both got rather excited when realizing this.
** Femgie also repeatedly mentions OOC her love of the playlists [[http://8tracks.com/pastelpng/army-dreamers Army Dreamers]] and [[http://8tracks.com/therealocean/battle-born Battle Born]], saying she can't draw Helmet Party/fem helmets or Soldier/Femsoldier without listening to it or a specific song that is on either of those playlists, respectively.
** Saxton Hale switches between loving and hating Music/TheBeatles, while his mun has openly admitted that they are a fan.
** Femscout is named after Kenzi from {{Series/Lost Girl}}.
** Bread is named after Wheatly from Portal
** Femspy's second name was thought to come from Francis Bonnefoy(France) from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. Later on the mun revealed it was the name of one of their family members who's from France.
** Femmedic is named after the Literature/{{Matilda}}, and her last name comes from the main character in the Manga/AttackOnTitan, Eren Jeager.
** BLU Pyro has mentioned that they are interested in the security guard job in {{Five Nights at Freddys Game}}. They also know about how the famous {{Youtuber/Markiplier}} has 'worked there before', admitting they envy/hate him for getting the job they have been trying to get for some time. While Pyro shows negative emotions for him, Pyro's mun has openly admitted to be a huge fan of Markiplier numerous times, and has even made more members of the network fans of him.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Depending on who you ask, quite a few of the network relationships can fall under this.
* TheInsomniac: Tentaspy has become this, but rarely speaks up about it.
** SpyHead and his mun, largely due to timezones.
** BLU Pyro and Femspy , though they stay quiet, they are known to be active at night due to their timezones.
* TheShrink: The RED Heavy falls under Type 3 for a few people in the network.
* SmartPeoplePlayChess / CrazyPeoplePlayChess: RED Heavy and BLU Heavy play frequently, as well as occasionally RED Heavy and Tentaspy.
* ThirdLawOfGenderBending: What Femgie assumes Tentaspy was acting like when he was magicked into a female. He, in turn, tells her his change in personality was only result of genetics, as male squids are apparently more aggressive than female squids.
* ThirdPersonPerson: The RED Heavy Weapons Guy frequently begins Heavy Weapons Guy's tweets with Heavy Weapons Guy, or simply Heavy. See also VerbalTic.
* ThreeWaySex: Obviously. One of the more 'normal' relationships in the network is a [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous one: RED Soldier, Femgie, and BLU Engineer.]]
* TriangRelations:
** Type 4. Styx loves Femmedic, while Femedic and Femspy are in a relationship, and Femmedic only thinks of Styx as a friend.
** Type 4 FemScout liked FemSpy but she and Femedic are already in a relationship.
* VacationEpisode: UsefulNotes/LasVegas, Las Vegas a second time, Hawaii, and Paris. Additionally, Femgie and RED Soldier ''twice'' found themselves escaping Aperture Science.
* VivaLasVegas: Both times the network made a trip to Vegas ended in sex, murder, and heavy drinking.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Spyborg. Went from a severed BLU Spy head in RED Medic's fridge kept alive by {{phlebotinum}}, to a {{cyborg}} with an entire prosthetic ''body'', built by Femgie.
* WineIsClassy: When most of the cast was in Paris, Femspy, Femgie and RED Heavy enjoyed wine while being their classy selves.
* WrenchWench: Femgie, to the extent that her mun makes {{shout out}}s to said page often.

* InterspeciesAdoption: BLU Pyro adopted Styx, a 2048-year-old pixie who lived inside his cosmetic bag. Maggie and Sniper also adopted her, but once Pyro got offended by this, they became something of a supportive aunt and uncle.
** Femgie (and, by association, BLU Engineer and RED Soldier) adopted the sentient Level 3 Dispenser, who was built by the RED Engineer, because he was never online anymore.
* ItMayHelpYouOnYourQuest: A few years back, the RED Soldier stole a coffee mug and an ID badge from an Aperture Laboratories employee. While it wasn't the most impressive trophy choice, having that ID badge on hand let him break back into Aperture much later on to rescue Femgie.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Tentaspy. While cold to nearly every single character in the network, he dotes over his partner, BLU Medic.
* KindheartedCatLover: BLU Engineer, with seven cats (Tinkerbelle is the mother, one of the kittens is named Kevin), two of which have been put on hold to be adopted by Helen (naming her's Satan) and Spyborg (naming his Lucifer). Femgie has a kitten, named [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey Daisy.]] Bidwell has five cats: Katrina and Ike, the parents, and Hazel, Charlie, Sandy.
* KidnappedScientist: Femgie was once kidnapped to Aperture Laboratories, where the rest of her right arm was removed. This was resolved as that from a previous incident, Aperture knew she had a prosthetic, and decided to take her for prosthetic research. What they ''didn't'' realize was that the prosthetic they were going to give her was for an entire right arm, and she had only lost her hand. So, her right arm was amputated, and she woke up and was rescued by RED Soldier before they could've given her a new prosthetic.
* LightAndDark: Bidwell, Red Heavy, Femscout, Blu Medic, Spyhead, and Jerry were all possessed by demons who seemed to control shadows. Blu Heavy and Fem!Red Scout often spoke of darkness, but Fem!Red Scout also claimed they were of light.

* MixAndMatchCritters: Tentaspy; half BLU Spy, half squid.
%%* MightyGlacier: Both the RED and BLU Heavies.

%%* {{Polyamory}}: BLU Engineer, Femgie, and RED Soldier.
* PowersViaPossession: When possessed by demons, the mercs gained different powers.
%%* PsychoForHire: The mercs.
* {{Reveille}}: RED Soldier used to do this at 6 AM most mornings, even to those who were already awake, to the hatred of most.

-->'''Merasmus:''' ...because I'm not fucking a robot...\\
'''Tentaspy:''' Alright, I see the logic, robots can be fun tho.

* ShoutOut:
** Femgie often mentions in and out of character her love of ''Franchise/EvilDead''.
** Spyborg's prosthetic body looks like a human-sized [[Film/PacificRim Striker Eureka.]]
** Jerry's prosthetic arm was modeled after [[Film/CaptainAmericatheWinterSoldier Bucky's.]]
** Jerry and Femgie (as well as their muns) are fans of Blitzen Trapper, specifically ''Black River Killer'' and ''Evening Star''. Both have posts liked by Blitzen Trapper, and both got rather excited when realizing this.
** Femgie also repeatedly mentions OOC her love of the playlists [[http://8tracks.com/pastelpng/army-dreamers Army Dreamers]] and [[http://8tracks.com/therealocean/battle-born Battle Born]], saying she can't draw Helmet Party/fem helmets or Soldier/Femsoldier without listening to it or a specific song that is on either of those playlists, respectively.
** Saxton Hale switches between loving and hating Music/TheBeatles, while his mun has openly admitted that they are a fan.
** Femscout is named after Kenzi from {{Series/Lost Girl}}.

** Femspy's second name was thought to come from Francis Bonnefoy(France) from ''Webcomic/AxisPowersHetalia''. Later on the mun revealed it was the name of one of their family members who's from France.
** Femmedic is named after the Literature/{{Matilda}}, and her last name comes from the main character in the Manga/AttackOnTitan, Eren Jeager.
** BLU Pyro has mentioned that they are interested in the security guard job in {{Five Nights at Freddys Game}}. They also know about how the famous {{Youtuber/Markiplier}} has 'worked there before', admitting they envy/hate him for getting the job they have been trying to get for some time. While Pyro shows negative emotions for him, Pyro's mun has openly admitted to be a huge fan of Markiplier numerous times, and has even made more members of the network fans of him.
* SickeninglySweethearts: Depending on who you ask, quite a few of the network relationships can fall under this.

** SpyHead and his mun, largely due to timezones.

* SmartPeoplePlayChess / CrazyPeoplePlayChess: RED Heavy and BLU Heavy play frequently, as well as occasionally RED Heavy and Tentaspy.
* ThirdLawOfGenderBending: What Femgie assumes Tentaspy was acting like when he was magicked into a female. He, in turn, tells her his change in personality was only result of genetics, as male squids are apparently more aggressive than female squids.
* ThirdPersonPerson: The RED Heavy Weapons Guy frequently begins Heavy Weapons Guy's tweets with Heavy Weapons Guy, or simply Heavy. See also VerbalTic.
* ThreeWaySex: Obviously. One of the more 'normal' relationships in the network is a [[{{Polyamory}} polyamorous one: RED Soldier, Femgie, and BLU Engineer.]]
* TriangRelations:
** Type 4. Styx loves Femmedic, while Femedic and Femspy are in a relationship, and Femmedic only thinks of Styx as a friend.
** Type 4 FemScout liked FemSpy but she and Femedic are already in a relationship.
* VacationEpisode: UsefulNotes/LasVegas, Las Vegas a second time, Hawaii, and Paris. Additionally, Femgie and RED Soldier ''twice'' found themselves escaping Aperture Science.
* VivaLasVegas: Both times the network made a trip to Vegas ended in sex, murder, and heavy drinking.
* WeCanRebuildHim: Spyborg. Went from a severed BLU Spy head in RED Medic's fridge kept alive by {{phlebotinum}}, to a {{cyborg}} with an entire prosthetic ''body'', built by Femgie.
* WineIsClassy: When most of the cast was in Paris, Femspy, Femgie and RED Heavy enjoyed wine while being their classy selves.
