[list][*][u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Reinhardt Wilhelm
[*][u][b]Universe:[/b][/u] Overwatch
[*][u][b]Appearance:[/b][/u][url=http://i.imgur.com/nPJobMe.png]Precision German Engineering.[/url] [url=http://safebooru.org//samples/1736/sample_b116f44cd0aa17b0998478fe81b1a6197cae4711.jpg?1817160]And this is what he looks like under the helmet.[/url] It's worth noting that under the armour he's still absolutely [i]huge[/i], with the average man barely coming up to his shoulders. For an old man, he's also got a terrifying amount of muscle.
[*][u][b]Personality:[/b][/u] If you personified the modern view of chivalry and made it larger than life, you would be most of the way to Reinhardt. His concerns seem to run in the order of doing the right thing for its own sake, winning glory in battle, and simply enjoying a good fight. In all of these, he is thoroughly boisterous and seemingly incapable of maintaining an indoor voice for more than five minutes at a time--yet, surprisingly, he gets on remarkably well with children despite this and his sheer size. He also seems to have some fun with provoking people he [i]likes[/i].
[*][u][b]Powers/Skills:[/b][/u] He's big, knows Hasselhoff, and has a lifetime's experience of swinging around an oversized hammer and getting in the way of harm. Reinhardt is also a surprisingly good storyteller.
[*][u][b]Brief Bio:[/b][/u] In his youth, Reinhardt joined the German army and eventually became one of the Crusaders--a modern-day knightly order using the same armour and weapons that he continues to use. It was with the Crusaders that Reinhardt first became involved in the Omnic Crisis (beyond the omnipresent "they're trying to kill us" everybody had to deal with). Later in the crisis, he was one of the six individuals that formed the strike team that would end the crisis--the beginning of Overwatch.
Reinhardt would stay with the organisation for almost its entire existence, becoming a Lieutenant and leading the strike team dispatched to King's Row to put a stop to the uprising there. Then, of course, he was [i]made[/i] to retire, to stand by on the sidelines and watch as Overwatch fell further and further into corruption and got disbanded in disgrace--having lost three of its founding members (or four) and his friends in the process.
Reinhardt promptly brought himself out of retirement and set out as a modern day knight errant, travelling Europe and coming to blows with a gang called the Dragons. Though proving quite capable of beating up someone not fighting back, they found out that a mountain of a man in power armour is substantially more dangerous, and were driven from the town for good.
And then he went and told Torbjorn's children stories at Christmas.
[*][u][b]Equipment:[/b][/u] Reinhardt has his armour and his hammer, which, though both old and battered, are still serviceable and somewhat terrifying to be confronted with--the hammer alone is as big as some [i]people[/i]. And both, of course, have rockets on them: the armour to charge across a battlefield (and crush any unfortunate foes), whilst the hammer seems to have one simply to hit things even harder--including slamming into the ground hard enough to cause people to fall.
The armour also has the ability to project a large barrier from its left wrist, capable of absorbing massively fatal amounts of damage before breaking... at which point it will just recharge again in no time at all. It has the added benefit of being translucent and something that can be attacked [i]through[/i] from behind, allowing his allies to retaliate.
