Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

@Arthanus yeah i'll get around to posting soon.

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

i don't mean to sound rude, but i feel like we should have denzel either killed off or at least someone should double up as him. he hasn't replied in like 2 weeks and i sort of feel like we're waiting on him? (at least i feel like i am)

if he comes back soon then that's fine, we can continue along but if not then i'd be okay with taking up his character.

also hopefully i'll reply soon, i'm sort of busy today.

Overwatch - Golden Age

Watcher

Full Name: Taru Hilja Korhonen

Aliases: Watcher

Age: 32

Birthday: October 8th

Appearance: Taru is usually always seen in her usual getup: the bulky, asymmetrical overcoat, the large, armored boots, and her helmet. Sometimes she'll take off the coat-that is if she's not in battle gunning down enemies - which reveals a black bodysuit that covers her whole body. No one has ever seen her face (besides close family and medics), and they probably never will, she relies on her helmet way too much to just take it off for casual settings.

Appearance

Height: 5'2"

Weight: 90 lbs.

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Role: Defensive sniper/hunter.

Hobbies: Whittling, birdwatching, baking, and cooking.

Likes: Saunas, animals, Christmas, and mythology.

Dislikes: People who hunt game as sport, vehicles (it's a little difficult to get her into one), and Russians.

Abilities:
-Aerial Jump: The soles of her boots are jet-like, Taru is able to charge it for a short moment to determine the height of her jump. This is mainly used for getting into towering positions for her to snipe from.
-Detection: Due to her helmet, it uses sensors in the back to detect anything that moves behind her.
-Heightened Senses: Because of her disability, Taru is better at processing peripheral vision and motion.
-Electro Net: Taru shoots a net that traps an enemy for 2 seconds, shocking them for the duration of it.

Tools and Weapons:
-Sniper Rifle
-Hunting knife

Family:
-Mother: Aamu Jokela-Korhonen ✝
-Father: Kauko Korhonen
-Sister: Ansa Korhonen
-Brother: Vieno Korhonen ✝

Relations with other Team Members: N/A

Personality: Taru is a considerably quiet girl, but she isn't shy. She likes to communicate her thoughts in different ways without having to speak. Some may not find her friendly at first, it seems as if she's distant and rather harsh at the beginning. It may look like she's ignoring you and not inputting her opinion into conversations and stuff, but usually most of the time it's because she has her hearing aids turned all the way down. When you really get on her good side, she's nice enough to bring little candies and snacks around for her friends.

Biography: Born in the province Lapland of Finland, Taru was brought up in a pagan family. They appreciated the old mythology, and stuck to it like glue. Her family boasted about the hunt, the harvest, imaginary wars from way back when. It was the only history that Taru grew up with, and those values influenced the way she lived.

Even though her kin lived like farmers and barbarians, they were still far from that. They continued to live as normal as it was in modern society. When Taru was a little girl, her parents would always take her and her siblings to Rovaniemi, best known as where the Santa Claus Village is located. It was always her favorite amusement park, and practically the only place Taru would want to go. Her love of the jolly holiday originated there, and would always have a special place in her heart.

One day, at the age of 14, while her and her family were visiting Rovaniemi for their bi-monthly trip, there was an explosion on the highway her parents were driving on. The explosion rendered Taru deaf, whilst killing off her brother and mother. It was rumored to be either a terrorist attack, but at the time she never cared at all. Taru just knew that she wouldn't get her revenge the way most people would have liked. She continued to live on with her life, trying not to let the tragic accident get to her, even as she adjusted to her disability. Because of losing her hearing at such an early age, she gave up on speaking a voice she could no longer hear, embarrassed and ashamed that Taru wasn't able to even understand what she was saying.

The Omnic Crisis began when Taru was only 22 years old, and the war only reminded her of that fateful day on the highway. She enlisted to defend what little family she had left, honoring the values of the hunt and fights she was taught to as a child. Shortly after Overwatch was created, she joined the peaceful organization hoping to do good for everyone around the world.

Additional Notes: Taru is hard of hearing, and in her helmet are hearing aides. Sometimes when shes heard enough of someone speaking, she likes to turn them off and ignore them.

oops i almost forgot about this ^^. i'm going to hopefully finish my character and post it in the characters thing soon.

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

Staring up from the trunk of a tree, Marlis made haste as she jumped up to grab a thick branch at the base, climbing all the way up with her crossbow hanging from a hook on her belt. The weapon constantly hitting her thigh and the wood made things a little difficult during her ascent up the timber, but she paid no attention to it. Once she reached the top she heard the faint sound of a bird call, looking below at the orcs to see Jack already going in. Cursing, Marlis swiftly grabbed her crossbow, knocked an arrow into position and pulled the trigger.

She continued to aim for the bowstrings of the orc archers, but Jack's incessant gliding and weaving proved to impede on her accuracy. If he continued to move anymore, the arrows that she shot would just hit Jack, and therefore be a waste. Whilst adjusting her perch in the tree, Marlis had to wait a few moments after each bolt for the perfect opportunity, just to avoid her team mate.

With the orc's exit now blocked by a newcomer's incantation, the orc's movement was now much more contained due to them being boxed in. Marlis took this as an opening to fire more arrows even faster, only this time focusing on shooting the orcs themselves instead of the bowstrings.

@ithinkalot the character looks alright for the most part. But something seems off. I can't exactly put my finger on it right now but I'll give it a more in depth look when I get home tonight. Also both the picture and link are broken. If you can fix the picture stuff I'll give it a full look tonight

Marlis snapped turned her head towards Jack quickly, eyeing him as he pointed out the blemishes of her plan. "Of course I know about him you jacka-" Before she could say anything further, she bit down on her tongue, and silently counted to 10. Now calm and collected, she continued to speak. "Right. You're absolutely right."

Shifting her attention towards Siegfried, she privily enjoyed the satisfaction of her proposition being chosen, not at all minding the changes. Nodding her head as he spoke, she watched him leave before looking at the others. "Good luck." She muttered, turning to head right, bringing her crossbow closer to her chest as she quickly made her way.

Tales of the Black Order: The Old Gods

my friend was actually interested in making a character! he was saying that he wanted to make a battlemage to hopefully try and balance out things
