[h3][color=FF8C00]Heroism[/color]. Sacrifice. [color=FF8C00]Nobility[/color][/h3][/center]

Thirty years ago these virtues meant more than placating to lynch-mobs and omniphobic rhetoric. It meant more than complacency in a world that was far from equal for all of its populace- be they human or not. Thirty years ago these three pillars of justice were associated with Overwatch. An elite international task-force that sought to restore order, peace, and justice to a world riddled with conflict and suffering. 

In the end it seemed that Overwatch wasn't immune to the same problems that befell the rest of the world. The public turned away from Overwatch, and in its absence strife has become the norm for omnics and humans alike. 

The year is 2076, and today marks a new beginning for Overwatch. Be warned that this journey will not be an easy one. The world has grown colder than before, and many are rightfully wary of what our organization has stood for. We will learn from the mistakes of thirty years ago, and we will work to rebuild the pillars that once upheld Overwatch. 

You are now an agent of Overwatch, more specifically our re-instated Blackwatch Unit. The world is not yet ready to know that more agents stand prepared to answer the call. You, we, will work to ensure the safety of all people- no matter their identity- throughout the world. We are the heroes of Overwatch. While we may give you our hearts and our bodies, our nobility and pursuit of justice will never be sacrificed.

[hider=Rules]
[list]
[*]No god-modding/power playing. The only one that should be auto-hitting is the GM, and even then this will only occur on rare occasions for plot purposes. 

[*]Please submit a character sheet for your character before posting in the IC. Once you've submitted a sheet the GM will PM you with a review of your character and their role in the RP. 

[*]Each post in the IC should be around [u]two paragraphs[/u]. Your post may be longer than this, but you should strive for detailed posts. When doing a collaborative post it is recommended that users plan this in advance and use websites like [url=https://titanpad.com/] 
TitanPad[/url] to make your post cohesive and neat. 

[*]If you have concerns regarding the RP or about another player please send the GM a PM so that we can work on a solution to solve the issue. 

[*]Avoid multi-posts and double posts. Be sure to give other players a chance to respond to your post. 

[*]Have fun! Overwatch is an amazing experience and universe, and our main priority here is to enjoy a story based in said universe.
