That was Morrison's burden to bear. Privacy is important to her: she keeps herself to herself, though was often easily found for midnight one-on-one talks over tea, usually those of utmost importance. When she had friends and a family of her own in Blackwatch, she served as something of an Agony Aunt or maternal figure––never motherly, but supportive; a wise, decisive voice in command who had supposedly seen everything under the sun. It's almost ironic that she treated her children like fellow soldiers, and her teammates like her real kids; attentive and almost caring towards those she trained. She avoided motherly responsibility wherever possible, pushing her daughters off on other people. Adopting her son was not a choice; she was simply the best member available for the job, forced to grin and bear it because it was better than the alternative fates he could have had. Growing up in a private all girls' school left Ana with a healthy respect and interest in etiquette and other traditionally feminine activities like flower-arranging and cooking, but more than anything it fuelled her thirst for knowledge. Ana is intelligent, well-read and particularly talented at debating (thanks to a stint in university). She can, however, be too thirsty at the concept of 'winning' an argument or discussion, and can therefore seem very domineering in conversation. She never raises her voice but the right word choice can be just as cutting. Once upon a time, Ana was more carefree. She still enjoys harmless, easy flirting––what former femme fatale wouldn't?––but long ago she could take pleasure in dancing and courting love; sappy, tragic romance novels and sad, romantic songs and all that. Now they're more of a reminder of what she left behind. Finally, and this is pertaining more to her alias as the solo bounty hunter, "Shrike" than the original war hero, Ana is vengeful, determined to take out the Talon agent formerly known as Amélie Lacroix. She feels as if it is her life mission, her duty to fix this, and to that end, nothing else matters more.[/indent][/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5URWxMUlZNLC4wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA,,/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Calming teas from around the world.

Ana is a fully-fledged, elite sniper trained by the militia she joined when she was just barely out of her teens and later through a great deal of elbow-grease and trial and error became a medic thanks to the nano-technology of Overwatch. Her talents revolve around triage in the worst possible scenarios of war: her level head, lack of tact and speedy process of patching up make her one of the most talented medics in the world to have in a sticky situation, and her creative use of darts. With forty years of experience? She's seen everything.[/indent][/indent] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Hardened [indent][indent]Physically and mentally, Ana is tough. (Childbirth really sucks, and if that wasn't bad enough, she did get sniped clean through the eye.) Emotionally, she has lost most of what she cared about––Blackwatch, Overwatch, her [i]flawless sight[/i]––and she can think of only two people in the world who she would be truly devastated to lose. She can shrug off wounds without batting an eye. Her self-imposed isolation has seemingly no impact on her psyche. She will [i]endure[/i] just about anything.[/indent][/indent] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Former Femme Fatale [indent][indent]Though she now no longer needs to maintain such charm and seduction and has no interest in exploiting men and women through the means of her sexuality, old habits die hard. Ana is a skilled 'diplomat' in so far as she is skilled at manipulation and machination to get what she wants, observing people for flaws or weaknesses and using it against them. As for how effective she was at gathering romantic interest, just ask Reinhardt.[/indent][/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5WMFZCUzA1RlUxTkZVdywsLjAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Protectiveness [indent][indent]Everyone has an Achilles' heel, and Ana's is obvious: target those she cares about. This group includes her former partner, her former apprentice, and her hidden daughter, all of whom she is far removed from. If they were ever in danger, she would drop her sworn duty and secret identity and do anything to keep them alive. She would even work for Talon, if it would protect them.[/indent][/indent] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Penitent [indent][indent]Ana has never been very good at decompressing her own emotions; however, even she knows that she feels some guilt over the choices she has made in her life––abandoning her children, abandoning Blackwatch, abandoning Reinhardt. She also has some qualms with the amount of blood on her hands, because historically she has never shied away from murder. Now she has a strict code of 'take them alive', using her biotic technology merely to incapacitate, not kill.[/indent][/indent] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Sixty Years Young [indent][indent]Ana is no spring chicken. She doesn't have the physical abilities that she used to, and is forced to avoid hand-to-hand combat––there's always a risk of putting her back out. There is also an air of tiredness about her now, like she wants nothing more than to retire to a farm in Germany and read books of poetry for the remainder of what is definitely going to be a longer life than most.[/indent][/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5Ra2xQUjFKQlVFaFouMAAAAAA,/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [indent][hider=The Life and Death of Ana Amari]War is what the Amari dynasty is good at. Ana was the child of soldiers. Her mother, Azaneth, was a retired freedom fighter who put down arms to take up motherhood, and her father, Farshid––the Iranian arms dealer who hired her as a body-guard––never gave up his enterprise of selling weapons to the highest bidder. The Amari heiress was loved dearly. Though it was long ago, the memory of her mother spilling blood for her (thwarting an attempted kidnapping) is still clear as day, and it was then that she learned one did not have to be a man to protect their family tooth and nail. When martial law was declared in Cairo, home for the first seven years of Ana's life, her father was adamant that she be sent to a private school out of the country until the danger had passed. From the entirety of her adolescence, Ana attended an all girl's boarding school in the city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Money was no object to the CEO of the Amari Group when it came to his child's education, and the school serves as the source of her impeccable etiquette as well as the eclectic nature of her knowledge. Ana herself consorted with the daughters of tycoons and tyrants, surviving hazing and establishing herself as a lone wolf who simply wanted to read books and drink tea in peace. She collected favours like other girls collected dolls. She had just turned eighteen when her father died. An empty numbness took over her life as grief did her mother's. Ana returned to Egypt for the funeral and did not go back to the Emirates immediately, instead choosing to enlist with the military to combat the rebels. It did not matter who detonated the explosives that killed Farshid, or who called it in, but the only thing on Ana's mind was bringing the [i]good[/i] back to her country, remembrances of times she did not have to fear for her life when she walked down the streets. They trained her in sharp-shooting, at first because of the weapon deals her name could provide for them and later because she was genuinely talented; a steady hand and eagle eyes, just like her mother, but a penchant for infiltration work that was most certainly unique to her. The violence concluded with a great battle at the pyramids of Giza, after which Ana Amari became famous within certain military circles for her heroics. Although she intended to settle down after the chaos was over––and she managed it for a few years as the figurehead of her father's company. She didn't have the expertise required to be truly involved in the business dealings, and so left it to her mother, but the company required the face of a war hero to smooth over the fact that they were dealing in weaponry with both the military and the opposing side. They also needed her smooth diplomacy and 'bargaining' skills, and Ana took on the role of a heavy fist or a seductress as was required. She took no pleasure in the latter. Ana had her daughter [color=675fbf]ғᴀʀᴇᴇʜᴀ ᴀᴍᴀʀɪ[/color], out of wedlock to a man she had little interest in other than the information he could provide her with, and although she struggled with the idea of unexpected motherhood, the chips had landed and nothing would change that. (Her second daughter, [color=675fbf]ɴᴇғᴇʀᴀ ᴀᴍᴀʀɪ[/color], would have the same father––a 'relationship' born not out of love but simply needing a favour.) Only two years later, peace proved ultimately impossible, because the Omnic Crisis struck hard and fast, and it struck her beloved Cairo the hardest. Her entire, young adult life wasted on protecting a city that was wiped out, left in ruins and dust within the space of a week. And so opened a new chapter in the life of Ana Amari. She had just turned thirty and was solo parenting a child but immediately offered her services to wherever she would be useful. It was Overwatch that first took an interest in her; an experienced commander who seemed like she would do whatever it took to defeat their greatest foe––all in the name of justice for Cairo. By the time the Omnic Crisis was over, Ana had made lifelong friends and lost some too. With the likes of [color=675fbf]ᴊᴀᴄᴋ ᴍᴏʀʀɪsᴏɴ[/color], [color=675fbf]ɢᴀʙʀɪᴇʟ ʀᴇʏᴇs[/color], [color=675fbf]ᴛᴏʀʙᴊᴏ̈ʀɴ ʟɪɴᴅʜᴏʟᴍ[/color] and part-time paramour [color=675fbf]ʀᴇɪɴʜᴀʀᴅᴛ ᴡɪʟʜᴇʟᴍ[/color] continuing on to do what she perceived as good work, it was impossible to leave it there, especially when she had little to go back to. Throughout the Golden Age of Overwatch, Ana was one of the top medics for Blackwatch, because her unique, traceless style of sniping (with the Biotic Rifle) was crucial to keeping field agents alive and intercepting dangerous forces. Her job description, however, was as the Head of Recruitment and Training: she was the personal mentor and mother-figure of [color=675fbf]ᴊᴇssᴇ ᴍᴄᴄʀᴇᴇ[/color] (whom she loved as much, if not more than, her own children) and most former members of Blackwatch were acquainted with her in some way. Before the fall, Ana was shot by [color=675fbf]ᴀᴍᴇ́ʟɪᴇ ʟᴀᴄʀᴏɪx[/color] (a former friend) following the woman's brainwashing by Talon. Her body was never recovered by the Overwatch or Blackwatch forces sent to search the area for clues as to what happened, though some have suspected that her long-time friend Reyes knew something he did not want to share. Her second daughter who Ana tried her best to keep away from fighting (seeing the failures in her eldest), was left with her father in a 'safe place'––though all of this is classified. Only a year after Ana's death, the one-eyed, ambiguously gendered bounty-hunter known as Shrike appeared. "He" is a complete unknown, and seems to only be building up his reputation by taking on freelance work, and has been doing so for several years. Some say that he is trying to catch the attention of Talon.[/hider][/indent] [center][color=#675fbf]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjU0LjY3NWZiZi5UMUpIUVU1SlUwRlVTVTlPLjAAAAAAAAAAAAA,/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [sup][/sup] [color=#675fbf]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [/center] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5RVXhKUVZNLC4wAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Shrike [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5RVVpHU1V4SlFWUkpUMDQsLjAAAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] None [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Formerly: Overwatch (Blackwatch) [IMG]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5Ra0ZUUlNCUFJpQlBVRVZTUVZSSlQwNVQuMAAAAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/IMG] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Flexible – presently in Washington, USA.

They are designed for close range, though can work at long-range in a pinch. Even if she is somehow disarmed of her rifle, she still has these sleep darts as they are built into a bracer and shot from the wrist.[/indent][/indent] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Biotic Grenade [indent][indent]This technique was invented by herself a year in to her self-imposed exile as Shrike. She carries with her several of these grenades on her belt that break open to release the biotics within. Adapted from the same offensive-defensive style as her rifle, these do great damage to enemies and prevent healing to them while bolstering her own allies. The secondary effect allows her healing darts to be infinitely more effective while it is active.[/indent][/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5WMFZCVUU5T1V3LCwuMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Biotic Rifle [indent][indent]The creation of the prototype Biotic Rifle back in the early days of Overwatch was considered a failure, not because the weapon itself was in any way bad, but because it took incredible sniping accuracy to function. Few medics could claim that skill except Ana Amari herself. She initially refused the weapon because it would leave her open to attack unless it had some sort of offensive capabilities, and thus the ability to damage enemies. The design allows the use of a scope to aim for faraway enemies and allies, while also functioning as a more regular gun with hip-shots possible in close-range. Ana uses it in both ways. The 'poison' biotics, purple in colour that sting and ache and eventually cause fatal health complications can simply lead to unconsciousness if used in the right dosage, hence it is perfect for her bounty-hunting. Previously, however, she had no issues with killing in the name of Blackwatch with a weapon originally created to save lives only.[/indent][/indent] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjI0LjY3NWZiZi5WVXhVU1UxQlZFVSwuMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Nano-Boost [indent][indent]A truly devastating ability that is also a throwback to Ana's worth within a strike team. With another dart, she can boost the power levels of an ally to great levels: their pain tolerance is increased as is their natural regeneration along with their physical strength, focus and speed. Those with already sharp aim find their bullets hitting more fatal locations; those with a big hammer to swing around find their connecting hits to be lethal.[/indent][/indent] [center][color=#675fbf]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [img]http://txt-dynamic.static.1001fonts.net/txt/b3RmLjU0LjY3NWZiZi5UMVJJUlZJLC4wAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/graystroke.regular.png[/img] [sup][/sup] [color=#675fbf]——————————————————————————————————————————————[/color] [/center] [color=#8a83ce]✦[/color] Presently uses a voice modulator as Shrike underneath a full-face visor.
