Nobody and nothing else matters to her for the most part; staying alive and staying comfortable is her main priority. While aiding her country in the past has also been high on her list – and by default, other countries that were left in a similar state as Mexico after the Omnic Crisis – this wouldn’t have been done if she wasn’t going to gain something from it. That’s what she tells everyone, anyway. If she were to feel a small spark of heroism in what she does, it’s kept rather quiet. She’d rather be seen as some calculating bitch than someone with a heart; if you know about someone’s heart, it’s easier to hurt them. As for profits, she seeks high and low for them, using all things possible to gain an advantage in various situations, including manipulation of her own comrades. Why kill someone rich and powerful when you can blackmail them? Yes, Sombra is always on the lookout for new friends, and whether she gains them through traditional or more nefarious means, she doesn’t particularly care as long as she comes off better. Living the life she did as a child means she strives for a better one now as an adult; if hacking gets her there, so be it. When joining Los Muertos, Sombra was more idealistic than she is now; more trusting, more naïve. As years have passed and her notoriety increased, she has lost these childish ideals, particularly with Talon. The world is a hard place, and people will screw you over in a second – so she makes sure she screws them over first. However, despite this, Sombra has retained her cheerfulness. It’s rare to see her without a cheeky smile on her face, even in battle. There are plenty of things to laugh and joke about, even when threatening someone’s family or snapping a guard’s neck; it’s also very rare to see her lose her cool or lash out in anger. (Like a certain skull-headed idiot she works with.) Although working with Talon, it should be noted that she doesn’t agree with the whole “rule-the-world” thing or whatever it is Reyes is on about. She finds revenge pointless and futile, especially in regards to the Blackwatch/Overwatch thing. As for terrorism? Eh, if it helps the small people but screws over the big ones, she’s fine with it. But Sombra is pretty easy-going, and doesn’t have a death-wish against Overwatch Operatives like the majority of Talon. She gets along just fine with some of them.[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Likes:[/b][/color] [list] [*]Purple; What did you expect? It’s her signature colour! [*] Grapes; Ironically enough, not the purple ones. Green or nothing. [*]Mexican Food; While not one to be a stereotype, eating food of her home gives Sombra a sense of happiness, hominess, and warmth; and that’s not just from the spice, you know. [*]Listening to music; More specifically calypso, salsa, reggae, or R&B. Anything with an up-beat tune that gets her hips swaying and foot tapping. [*] Expensive Items; While not exactly vanity, Sombra likes to spend her money on indulgent, rich things she could only dream of as a kid. Great food, great clothes, great holidays, great make-up… ooh, and a massage machine. Or a massage chair? Nah, a massage bed! They exist, right?! [*] Cards Against Humanity; She loves black humour and controversial jokes, and this game is just perfect for her. [*]Cats; While deciding over a pet snake than kitten, felines still have a special place in heart. They're adorable, manipulative, and bitchy, just like her! What's not to love? [*]Puzzles & Mysteries; Whether it's in the form of a word riddle, a murder mystery, or detective novel, Sombra loves to solve problems. [/list] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Dislikes:[/b][/color] [list] [*] Children; They smell, they’re loud, and they’re constantly oozing some kind of bodily fluid, no matter their age. She’ll never have them, and finds them annoying to be around. [*] Heights; While not going as far to say she has a phobia, Sombra definitely dislikes being in high places. Again, it’s not so debilitating that she cannot move, but there’ll always be an uncharacteristic scowl on her face when up high. [*] Insects that fly; She doesn't mind the ones that stay on the ground. But wasps, moths, mosquitoes? Ugh, they were everywhere in Mexico. [*] The Cold; Sombra thrives off the heat and sunshine, so cold climates do not suit well with her. [*] Monkeys; Well, Chimps more specifically. They can rip a person apart in seconds and make screaming noises while they do it... While Overwatch's Winston is a Gorilla and not a Chimp, she stills likes to avoid him if Talon and Overwatch ever clash. [*] Not working out the answer to something; It's infuriating to her. She likes to work out the end of the murder mystery, or the answer to the crossword without any help. Leaving it unanswered... ooh, there's nothing that bothers Sombra more. [/list] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Hobbies:[/b] [/color] [list] [*] Playing card games on her computer when she’s supposed to be working. What? Solitaire is fun! [*] Reading or watching mysteries; whether they be murder, medical or mythological, she enjoys them all the same. [*] Watching Soap Operas in her spare time; Sombra finds Spanish and English ones equally as entertaining. [*] Tinkering; Being both a world-class Hacker and Head of Security gives Sombra plenty of time and reason to develop new tech, especially if it'll help her with her job. While making the usual security things, she'll occasionally make something silly. One time she made a Pinata machine which someone thought was a bomb. The idiots shot it as it ran towards them before realising it was just full on candy. [/list] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Strengths:[/b][/color] ⚜ Hacking [indent] This is an obvious one. One of the most infamous – and arguably best – hackers in the world, there hasn’t been a system or computer that she hasn’t got into yet.[/indent] ⚜ Network [indent]People can be hacked too; Sombra has built up quite the net of “friends” in her time, both powerful and weak, rich and poor, amicable and reluctant. If there’s something she can’t get from a computer, her [i]Amigos[/i] can get it for her. Besides, the nicer ones are great to have a drink with.[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/color] ☠ Untrustworthy [indent]While Sombra has a hard time trusting people properly, the feeling tends to be mutual; her conniving personality is well known, and she can often have a hard time getting people to believe she isn’t lying.[/indent] ☠ Tech-Dependant [indent]Without her guns and her tech, Sombra is just a lost little girl again. While this situation may not arise, a strong enough EMP could wipe out her electronics for a time. Add no weapons to that, and Sombra is helpless.[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Brief Biography:[/b][/color] [indent] Born 30 years ago in Dorado as , the girl that came to be known as Sombra as an adult had many hardships in her life. Orphaned during the First Omnic Crisis,  had to fend for herself at a very young age. An arduous task, what with the ruined infrastructure of the country, and the ever-constant presence of gangs on the streets. Arduous for most, indeed, but not for . She had skills that became extremely useful to her, skills she could use to get whatever she wanted or needed to survive. Computers were fair game to the gifted child, and by the time she had turned 12,  had gained enough information and reputation to be given access and membership to the [i]Los Muertos[/i] gang; the most dangerous and nefarious gang in Mexico at that time. She could hack into anything; bank accounts to give the gang access to money; buildings to give the gang access to technology; politicians to give them access to incriminating information... but this she used more for herself. As  dug deeper and deeper into politicians, companies, celebrities and governments, she began to uncover something immense. A conspiracy that could change the world forever... But she was discovered. As her screens flashed, showing her a glaring red eye,  knew that her time as a child was now over.  had to disappear; wiping everything of her existence to the world, she fled the [i]Los Muertoes[/i] gang, and fled Dorado, her home.  was no more. Sombra, was born. Several years later, she resurfaced, with a new name, a new look, and new tech. A cybernetic graft implanted along her spine gave Sombra the access she needed at a computer just on hand, with the best computer in the world hooked up to it; her brain. As years passed, her fame grew; most in power feared her; the common folk seemed to be more in line with her way of thinking, seeing her as a vigilante for her cause and tagging her name on walls of government and corporate buildings across the world. She couldn't deny that the feeling was exhilarating, having those people practically worship her and her deeds. And then, Sombra got the attention of Talon. She couldn't say she agreed with everything they did; she preferred not to kill people, unless they got in her way. People can be manipulated, just as easily as computers - and a dead one is a waste. However, she couldn't deny Talon's efficiency in getting in the way of important people, and joining them would give her the access and power she'd dreamed of to further her own goals. So, she accepted their offer, making a point of doing so reluctantly just to annoy those in charge further - those who came to recruit her seemed quite enamoured with her abilities, after all. Sombra is doing Talon's bidding, for now. Again, she's not down with the whole take-over-the-world thing they have going on. She'd rather do that on her own, and in her opinion, she's more than capable of achieving that. Reyes's revenge thing is petty and pointless to her, and as for Widowmaker... Well, Sombra just hopes that those bastards don't decide to tie a leash around her like they did with poor Amelie. She's not a puppet, and feels bad for Widow for what they did to her - not that she'd tell her that, of course. There's no point in showing emotions like empathy or sympathy where she is now - it'll get her nowhere. Either way, Sombra would like to ditch Talon before brainwashing becomes company policy.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/ft87U9l.png[/img][/center] [hr][hr] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Organisation Alias[/b][/color] [indent]Sombra[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Organisation Affiliation[/b][/color] [indent]Talon[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Base of Operation[/b][/color] [indent]Los Angeles, America[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Previous Base Of Operation: [/b][/color] [indent]Dorado, Mexico[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Battle Type/ Role:[/b][/color] [indent]Offense[/indent] [COLOR=#AB08B4][b]Occupation:[/b][/color] [indent]Agent & Hacker.

From there, she can either choose to aid a comrade... or threaten an enemy with death if they have something to offer her. [CENTER]----------------- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NWRwj1c.png?1[/IMG] -----------------[/CENTER] [img]https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/overwatch.gamepedia.com/thumb/a/a4/Ability_Sombra_Machine_Pistol.png/100px-Ability_Sombra_Machine_Pistol.png?version=68df2656e2637eb98d28c5a6bfb4f757[/img] [color=#AB08B4][b]Machine Pistol[/b][/color] This weapon is as simple as it sounds - an automatic pistol that allows Sombra to send a barrage of bullets towards her foe with just one continual squeeze of the trigger. While hardly a marksman like her colleague Widowmaker, the automatic spray of the gun usually creates casualties, even when shooting sporadically. It's a good distraction for her enemies when she's busy, anyway. [CENTER]----------------- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NWRwj1c.png?1[/IMG] -----------------[/CENTER] [img]https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/overwatch.gamepedia.com/thumb/6/6d/Ability_Sombra_Hack.png/100px-Ability_Sombra_Hack.png?version=268db29db0acd540a03dbb36c53abe64[/img] [color=#AB08B4][b]Hack[/b][/color] Again, another simply explained ability. With her cybernetic implants, Sombra is able to use her body as a computer and hack many things with just her fingers and touch. Alongside hacking computers to gain information, or affect things such as cameras, security systems or armaments, Sombra is able to hack her enemies from a distance and short-circuit them fora certain amount of time. Obviously, this only works on those who use technology for the most part. Omnics, mech suits, cybernetic limbs or enhancements... they can all fall to her hacks, but not for a great amount of time. Hacking from a distance isn't foolproof, and she can never take over an enemy's technology unless she touches them. They're either too fast or too dangerous for her to do that, so distance hacking it is. Be careful though - if she takes you down for ten seconds, it may be enough for her machine pistol to finish you off.

Being shot really ruins the illusion... and it hurts too. [CENTER]----------------- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NWRwj1c.png?1[/IMG] -----------------[/CENTER] [img]https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/overwatch.gamepedia.com/thumb/6/61/Ability_Sombra_Translocator.png/100px-Ability_Sombra_Translocator.png?version=87ddec9d96b55d90c229125f9022a3a4[/img] [color=#AB08B4][b]Translocator[/b][/color] Using self-made beacons, Sombra is able to leave said-technology wherever she pleases as a sort of "Save-point". If she comes into unavoidable trouble down the line, one press of a button as she back to her beacon, safe and sound. [CENTER]----------------- [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/NWRwj1c.png?1[/IMG] -----------------[/CENTER] [img]https://hydra-media.cursecdn.com/overwatch.gamepedia.com/thumb/c/c7/Ability_Sombra_EMP.png/100px-Ability_Sombra_EMP.png?version=9fe5e18f456cfcb59b32b3d97840cce8[/img] [color=#AB08B4][b]ULTIMATE ABILITY: EMP[/b][/color] Acting in a similar manner to her hacking ability, Sombra is able to unleash a pulse of Electro-Magnetic energy, disabling and hacking all tech in the vicinity. While not lasting for very long (Less than ten seconds), it can prove immensely effective for a quick getaway, or a quick put-down of several enemies. One can't defend oneself against a headshot when they're paralysed.[/center] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/hd9Xmhe.png[/img][/center] [hr][hr] [color=#AB08B4][b]Other:[/b] [/color] [indent]Speaks fluent Spanish and English, and also Binary. An odd side-effect of her implants, but a fun one nevertheless. Sombra is also branching out into other languages, such as French, German and Mandarin. She's very far from fluent, but her implants let her learn just a touch faster than other people would, with an improved memory store and recall. A bit like a photographic memory, just not naturally occurring.[/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/S7UBxVa.png[/img][/center] [hr][hr] [color=#AB08B4][b]Theme Song:[/b][/color] [indent][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=papuvlVeZg8]Rockabye - Clean Bandit[/url][/indent] [hr][hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/SNlqcHW.gif[/img][/center]
