History WebAnimation / TheScratchedUniverse

* AdaptedOut: Certain comic-exclusive characters who are important to ''Team Fortress 2's'' story do not appear in ''The Scratched Universe.'' At most, they are mentioned, such as Gray Mann, who could be a potential adversary against Bonkbot's current standing in society.

The story chronicles the adventures of multiple parties, all of them dealing with an encroaching alien threat in their own ways. The first party contains KIA and Heavy Guy, two mercenaries fighting against the aliens with Stands, spiritually embodiments of their personalities inspired by and named after the kinds found in ''Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure.'' Not only are they improving their fighting skills, but they're also recruiting fellow Stand-Users along the way, so they can counter the aliens for good. The second party contains Fixer and Jumpsuit, two civilians who barely survived an alien attack and are trying to live comfortably while working through their trauma. Their first step into their new lives sees them become part of a cleanup crew. Meanwhile, the aliens themselves are small Walker robots capable of infecting mercenaries with the Distortion virus, which disfigures their faces--sometimes even their whole bodies--and turns them into [[HumanoidAbomination monstrous drones]] in service of the Walkers' goals.

* TheImmune: [[spoiler: Heavy Guy is able to avoid infection by the Walkers through some sort of influence by the Omen]].

Intended as a loveletter to ''[=TF2=]'' and its fanbase, this series takes place in a reinterpretation of the game's universe, in which the game's mechanics are foundational to its world's society, and the nine mercenary classes are now races. The world is a network of the game's servers housing the game's various maps, along with some original locations meant for civilian life. The different modes of play are categorized under Fragging Duty and Scrapping Duty jobs, respectively, and they are popular methods of earning cash. All of this is watched carefully by the Valiant Alliance Corporation (Or V.A.C.), a reinterpretation of ''[=TF2's=]'' anti-cheat program as a military and law-enforcement organization. Its members also observe the main characters' lives with great interest ever since their encounters with the Distorted, who are largely based on the ''[=TF2=]'' Freak phenomenon, with cited inspirations being the Vagineer or Painis Cupcake.
