“Pencil jumpers” — a special breed of Soldier in Team Fortress 2.
They are the purest expression of chaos and simplicity: no plans, no air-strafing finesse, no intricate rollout routes. Just raw, vertical ambition.

They fire at their feet and rise straight up, a perfect line toward the sky — an exclamation mark punctuating the madness of the battlefield.
They are not chasing frags. They are not optimizing trajectories. They are defying gravity out of instinct.
