The Original Vagineer is a teamless concept-style Engineer TF2 Monster and a notable member of the Vagineer species. He was created by YouTube user SarisKhan.

His battle theme is Aliens vs. Predator OST - Slaying the Abomination.

Origin

Several years ago the individual who would become the Original Vagineer was a freelance concept-style Engineer. Armed with a powerful pistol, he roamed the TF2 Freak World in search of a challenge and wealth.

One fateful day he eliminated the BLU beta-style team guarding Doublecross and gained access to its intel room. Once inside, he found a single ingot of Cursed Australium amongst the corpses of previous daredevils. Attracted by its eerie glow, the Engineer touched the ingot and was instantly influenced by its nightmarish power. His transformation began as he murdered a Spy in an astounding display of inhuman strength, and his face obtained the signature disfigurement shortly afterward, turning him into the "Vagineer Zero".

Intoxicated with his drastically enhanced combat prowess, he subsequently embarked on a rampage which saw many beta-style teams of mercenaries around the TF2 Freak World brutally slaughtered. Eventually, he encountered and challenged Painis Cupcake on Teufort. Even though the Original Vagineer had been able to initially overwhelm the latter, Painis quickly defeated him after activating his Übercharge.

Devastated by his failure, Vagineer Zero spent an unknown period of time hidden in the BLU intel room of Teufort. However, over time he was able to recover and realise he had not unlocked his full potential yet. After finding out ways to use several basic special abilities which would become the staple of his new kind, he proceeded to convert an increasing number of mercenaries, creating the Vagineer species.

Once the Vagineer plague had been initiated, the Original Vagineer vanished from the stage. Well-hidden for several years, he has been making preparations for a grand evil scheme still unknown.

Personality and Behaviour

Not much is known of the Original Vagineer's personality, because there had been few recorded appearances to be applied as evidence that he exists. While he is shrouded in mystery, he is responsible for starting the Vagineer Plague, thus making him the oldest Vagineer ever to exist.

When still an Engineer, he had already been a malevolent and aggressive individual who overtly enjoyed combat. Once transformed and empowered, he promptly used his newfound strength to massacre numerous mercenaries.

Nevertheless, he does not act like a typical RED Vagineer, as he was able to interact with a BLU Engineer without plain first-sight violence. While violent, he is capable of withholding from action and planning ahead. Furthermore, he is also unusually furtive; despite existing for many years, very few beings in the TF2 Freak World are even aware of his existence.

Powers and Abilities

Somewhat surprisingly, the Original Vagineer does not possess any "unique" abilities because he shares the same set of relatively basic powers as the RED Vagineer subspecies. In fact, it is the Vagineer Zero whose abilities determine what is considered standard amongst his kind. On the other hand, the race-specific abilities are results of mutation which emerge only after an individual is infected with the Vagineer Virus by another Vagineer. Be that as it may, the Original Vagineer displays the apex of power his species might achieve.

His physical strength, toughness, agility and stamina are nothing short of superhuman. He is so robust that he may engage even other top-rank TF2 Freaks without the use of any of his special abilities and still put up a good fight. For instance, he might punch holes in plates of armour or casually outmanoeuvre an average Freak.

Nevertheless, like any other TF2 Monster he frequently relies upon his special abilities. For example, he might detach and launch his limbs like projectiles. However, unlike most of his kind he might do so at a rapid-fire rate and with considerable strength. Furthermore, the limbs might stay attached to his body after firing with the use of peculiar ropes. The Original Vagineer is capable of launching several hands from one stump only to control them like tentacles. This allows him to grab and punch numerous enemies simultaneously.

His healing factor is noticeably superior to that of most of his viral offspring. The increased regenerative capacity enables the aforementioned rapid-fire Limb Detachment, but also allows him to quickly recover from light and moderate injuries should an opponent prove capable of wounding him in the first place. Severe injuries take longer to heal, though.

Moreover, the Primal Vagineer might unleash a potent Hypersonic Scream which is substantially more powerful than the technique employed even by BLU Vagineers. Unlike them he might sustain the attack. As its power grows gradually the longer it lasts, the Hypersonic Scream can shatter glass, deflect and stun strong enemies and quake the earth. The vibrations may become potent enough to directly cause serious concussive damage to the targets.

In the end, he also boasts the power to convert other beings into Vagineers through physical contact. They seem to automatically become obedient to him upon transformation. The lesser subspecies are completely subservient on an instinctual level. More intelligent variants such as the BLU Vagineer are significantly more autonomous, though they still feel genuine respect to their progenitor. The Original Vagineer's ability to infect and mutate most Freaks into powerful minions is arguably his most dangerous one in the long run, for it allows him to threaten the entire TF2 Freak World.

Faults and Weaknesses

  • Vagineer Zero is all but immune to most conventional means of dealing damage, such as physical trauma or small-arms fire. However, he is somewhat vulnerable to special abilities of other TF2 Monsters, particularly those empowered with Australium.
  • In addition, he lacks reliable means of long-range combat.
  • Although he has valid reasons to be confident, the Original Vagineer is quite arrogant. This means that he may underestimate an opponent and thus become vulnerable to an ambush or another clever tactic.

Trivia

  • The Primal Vagineer was created to provide a somewhat better explanation regarding the origin of the Vagineer as a species than most of the pre-existing theories, at least in the creator's opinion.
  • Initially, the Original Vagineer had used the beta-style skin, but it was changed to concept-style later. This was done to distinguish him from the Beta Vagineer, but also to further emphasise his nature as the very first Vagineer.
  • Other monikers given to him by his creator are Vagineer Zero (or simply Zero), Primal Vagineer and the Progenitor.
