2!!Medic (Leader)
3Formerly a BLU Medic from Turbine. After he was fired, he returned to his old hospital and discovered a RED Engineer who was wrongly fired like him. Fed up with RED ''and'' BLU, the Medic swore to destroy both organizations and founded the [=oWn=]. He leads a campaign of assimilation, either recruiting the other mercenaries to his cause, or capturing them alive.
4
5* AgonyBeam: The oWn Medic's modified medigun is capable of causing a lot of pain in his victims. [[spoiler:His glove mounted model can be a full on DeathRay]].
6* AntiVillain
7* AssimilationPlot: Either recruit all the mercenaries into the [=oWn=], or capture and imprison them.
8* BenevolentBoss: One of the reasons the oWn Medic's forces have grown so greatly is that he genuinely cares about his recruits. He doesn't punish failures too harshly and is noticeably horrified when any of his followers are killed in front of him. He is also open to criticisms and loves to hang out with his lieutenants while off-duty. He also tries to appear friendly to his enemies after [[DefeatMeansFriendship defeating them in combat]] before extending an invitation to join oWn.
9* BerserkButton: If you're going to assassinate the oWn Medic, make sure you succeed because if you don't, he isn't going to let you just get away with the attempt.

20
21* CoDragons: With the Engineer
22* FlawedPrototype: He speaks more than he shoots and loves to remind his enemies that he is a robot. He would normally be so busy talking that he gets shut down forcefully before he could finish his sentence.
23* TalkativeLoon: The Robot Soldier never stops rambling about being a robot or making robot noises.
24
25!!Engineer (Lieutenant)
26Formerly a RED Engineer from Turbine. He was fired when a Sniper shot took out his right arm beyond healing.

45Formerly a RED Spy from 2fort. A star member of his team, his base saw the first attacks by the [=oWn=], and was later recruited into their ranks.
46
47* TheAce: Of his original 2fort team. You can see a pile of enemy intelligence in their spawn point, likely all collected by him.
48* DelayedOhCrap: During the ColdOpen of Chapter 3, he gets set on fire but it takes him a minute to realize that he is and then screams appropriately.
49* EvilCostumeSwitch
50* TheGunslinger: Unusual for a Spy, he's shown to be very talented with his Ambassador pistol.
51* InTheHood: Post defection.
52* SecretTestOfCharacter: [[spoiler:The Medic gave Spy an order to kill his partner Sniper. The Spy refuses, which proves to the Medic Spy is perfect for [=oWn=], showing him a set of rules that promote challenging orders.]]
53* SourceMusic: Carries a tape recorder to play ominous music during his hunts. It also has recordings of him attacking others to be used as misdirection. The tape recorder is very finicky though, and will start playing random tracks on him.

68
69* BrooklynRage
70* CharacterDevelopment: She starts out just like most of the oWn mercs, being fanatically loyal to the group's cause and brutal to her opposition. However, the comic reveals that after all the invasions the group went through, she starts to soften and even seem to feel genuinely sorry for what she did to the mercs from both BLU and RED. RED Fem!Sniper, her travelling companion at that time, took notice of this change.
71--> "You're maturing and you don't ''realize'' it. Good."
72* DaddysLittleVillain: She considers the Medic to be a ParentalSubstitute and more often than not calls him dad.
73* EvilCostumeSwitch
74* HeroOfAnotherStory: One of the central characters of the comic series.
75* StraightGay
76* TokenGoodTeammate: Calling any of the [=TF2=] mercs "good" is a bit of a stretch but the oWn Fem!Scout stood out as she's noticeably more pleasant than her fellow oWn mercs. Plus, in any Cult of Personality artwork featuring oWn, she usually appears more pleasant [[SlasherSmile than]] [[PsychoticSmirk the rest]].
77

93
94* AffectionateParody: His Titantron video is one of Wrestling/RandyOrton's
95* AscendedExtra: Originally a random oWn character created solely as a parody of Wrestling/RandyOrton's [=TitanTron=] video, the oWn Demoknight has since been promoted into the main series and has since then been a consistent character in the chapters and trailers.

122
123* CoolBigSis: The [=oWn=] Fem!Scout likes to think of her like this, since romance isn't an option with her.
124* EnemyMine: Briefly. Unwilling to kill a helpless target, she rescued the oWn Fem!Scout from her robot bodyguards that turned against her. When they meet again, they're on friendly terms due to this unexpected rescue and [[FireForgedFriends grew closer as they traveled together.]]
125* FireForgedFriends: With the oWn Fem!Scout.
