"Soldier: 76"
Jack Morrison
Code Name:
Soldier 76
Real Name:
Jack Morrison
Age:
Unknown
Race:
Human
Nationality:
American
Personality:
Soldier: 76 displays a grouchy and serious demeanor, occasionally grumbling about his old age. He insults his opponents by saying that they've got a lot to learn and, according to himself, doesn't play by the same fighting rules that he used to. He's obsessed with bringing criminals to justice, even if it means taking extreme measures to hunt them down. Even though he initially saw no point in bringing back Overwatch to combat the Second Omnic Crisis, he really missed being able to fight alongside them and is still proud to fight alongside his teammates.
In spite of this behavior, Soldier: 76 is willing to protect the innocent, even at the cost of letting his adversaries get away. A prime example is when he shields a young girl, named Alejandra, from the explosion of a grenade rather than immediately chasing after the Los Muertos gang. He also seems to commend his team once in a while, as shown by his positive comparisons of Pharah to her mother.

Brief History:
Jack Morrison grew up in rural Indiana. The young Morrison has been described in many different ways. He was a rambunctious youth. A humble, salt-of-the-earth farmer's son. But those asked all agree that Morrison was never destined to live out his days in the land of rolling plains and deep blue skies.
At eighteen, Morrison packed his bags and joined the military. He had planned to serve a brief stint in the armed forces and then return home to the family farm, but his work ethic and courage caught the eye of the military brass. Before long, he earned a coveted position in the government's controversial and still-classified (but widely acknowledged) "soldier enhancement program." Military scientists shaped Morrison and other inductees into the perfect soldiers, blessed with superhuman speed, strength, and agility.
Morrison and his fellow augmented soldiers would soon put their abilities to use with the advent of the Omnic Crisis. As governments tried and failed to neutralize the omnics, the United Nations was busy forming an international task force called Overwatch. This small, experimental group would bring together the best and brightest from around the world to wage asymmetrical warfare against the robots. Overwatch's short list of prospective agents included two members of the soldier enhancement program: Morrison and Gabriel Reyes, a senior officer. Reyes and Morrison became fast friends, despite their different backgrounds, and decided to join Overwatch together. Leadership of Overwatch fell to Reyes, but Morrison would have a greater impact on the group in the long term. He brought out the best in the people around him and helped mold Overwatch's diverse (and sometimes conflicting) agents into a cohesive fighting force. In unity, they found the strength to defeat the robots and end the Omnic Crisis.
The UN rewarded Morrison for his contributions by making him Overwatch's first official commander. Reyes was passed over in the process, and it created a rift between the two men that would lead to tragic consequences. After the Omnic Crisis, Overwatch experienced a meteoric rise in prominence. New funding and resources gave the now-public organization far-reaching global influence. The world celebrated Overwatch's agents as heroes, but none more so than Morrison. He became the face of Overwatch, a symbol of hope and promise, from the cobblestone streets of King's Row to the sweltering night markets of Bangkok. Morrison envisioned a bright new future for humanity. Under his leadership, Overwatch served as a global peacekeeping force and an engine for innovation, making advances in scientific fields as varied as space exploration and medical research. But even as Overwatch grew in power, Morrison stayed dedicated to the people around him. He trained new agents, instilling in them Overwatch's noble goals and ideals. At some point he was stationed at Watchpoint: Gibraltar.
It was not to last however. Decades after the Omnic Crisis, Overwatch was shaken by a series of allegations, and its agents became targets of derision for the media. Morrison did his best to hold Overwatch together, but he was facing an internal rebellion led by Reyes, whose motives were unknown, but remained bitter that Morrison had been given the position of Overwatch's commander, and the rift that had started there had grown ever since. One year before Overwatch's disbandment, Morrison and Reyes came to blows at Overwatch's Swiss HQ. At some point, their fighting triggered an explosion that destroyed the facility.
Morrison was supposedly buried at Arlington National Cemetery. Reinhardt Wilhelm, one of Overwatch's original members, spoke highly of him at his funeral. Statues of him continue to be frequented. In truth, however, Morrison's body was never recovered. He considered the blast the fault of his enemies, and reflected how they believed him dead. A truth, but in his mind, part of him did die that day.
Five years after the end of Overwatch, a series of attacks was made on financial institutions, shadowy corporations, and former Overwatch facilities, all carried out by an unidentified male called "Soldier: 76." in each case where he stole some Overwatch tech. This included Watchpoint: Grand Mesa, where he stole a pulse rifle. Helix Security International personnel attempted to engage him, but 76 escaped apprehension. None of the personnel were killed, though some were treated for non-threatening injuries. One of them stated (under conditions of anonymity) that the assailant possessed strength and speed beyond anything a normal person should possess, and that he likely had military training. The United States turned its attention to apprehending him, and indeed, Soldier: 76 became the target of an international manhunt.
In truth, Soldier: 76 was Jack Morrison. Thanks to his raids, Morrison was now equipped with an arsenal of cutting-edge technology. Here, he used it to wage his personal war to expose the truth behind Overwatch's collapse: to find those responsible, and bring them to justice.
When Winston initiated Operation: Recall, to call back the members of Overwatch, Soldier: 76 was hesitant to join at first. However, he decided to change his mind and ultimately rejoined his old comrades to fight evil terrorists once again.

Combat Role:
Offensive
Sub-class:
Assault
Abilities:
- Helix Rockets: Tiny rockets spiral out of Soldier 76’s Pulse Rifle in a single burst. The rockets’ explosion damages enemies in a small radius.
- Sprint: Whether he needs to evade a firefight or get back into one, Soldier 76 can rush ahead in a burst of speed. His sprint ends if he takes an action other than charging forward. He can not use any of his other abilities while sprinting.
- Biotic Field: Soldier 76 plants a biotic emitter on the ground. Its energy projection restores health to 76 and any of his squadmates within the field. The field cannot be destroyed by enemies.
- Heavy Pulse Rifle: Soldier: 76’s rifle remains particularly steady while unloading fully-automatic pulse fire.
- Tactical Visor (Ultimate}: Soldier 76’s pinpoint targeting visor “locks” his aim on the threat closest to his crosshairs. If an enemy leaves his line of sight, Soldier 76 can quickly switch to another target. Using the ability also increases the reload speed of 76's Pulse Rifle while active.
Strengths:
Soldier 76 is the most well-rounded of the Assault heroes. He's able to deal both sustained and burst damage at any range, move quickly across the battlefield, and support both himself and his team through the use of Biotic Field. He will work well with most of the original team members, but mostly they include Reinhardt, Torbjörn, Pharah, and Mercy.
Weaknesses:
His downsides are a lack of any real specialization with his weapons or abilities, no vertical movement, and a less impactful Ultimate when compared to other Assault heroes.
Winston
Real Name:
Winston
Age:
29
Race:
Primate - Genetically Enhanced Gorilla
Nationality:
Horizon Moon Colony
Personality:
Winston is an awkward yet gentle giant, never wanting to inflict unnecessary harm on innocents and often stuttering whenever someone compliments him. He is a huge fan of Overwatch and really cares about its members to the point of calling them family. He also seems to have a love for peanut butter and bananas. Winston is rather smart when it comes to craftsmanship, as shown by his ability to create the chronal accelerator. He is even considered an intelligent scientist as well, and he hates being called a monkey.
Physical Appearance:
Winston is a genetically enhanced gorilla at a height of 2.2 meters (7.3 feet) with advanced armor that he uses for protection.
Affiliations:
Horizon moon Colony (Formerly)
Overwatch (Formerly; Currently)
Overwatch (Formerly; Currently)
Brief History:
The Horizon Lunar Colony was established as a first step for humanity's renewed exploration of space. Among its residents was a group of genetically enhanced gorillas that were intended to test the effects of prolonged habitation in space.
One gorilla displayed such rapid brain development from the gene therapy that he was taken under the wing of Dr. Harold Winston, who taught him science and inspired him with tales of human ingenuity. The young gorilla passed his days assisting with the scientists' experiments, watching the distant blue world outside his habitat window, dreaming of the endless possibilities that awaited him there.
But his life was thrown into chaos when the other gorillas led an uprising, killed the mission scientists, and claimed the colony for their own. Taking on the name of his beloved human caretaker, Winston built a makeshift rocket and escaped to Earth. There he found a new home with Overwatch, an organization that represented everything he had come to admire about humanity. Winston was finally able to live up to the heroic ideal that had been instilled in him. There, he became both a soldier and a scientist. His skill in combat led to him defeating Doomfist, and his craftsmanship helped him save the life of Tracer by building her chronal accelerator.
After the collapse of Overwatch, Winston and Athena retreated to Watchpoint: Gibraltar, from which he launched a satellite drone in the event that Overwatch would need to be recalled. He included with it a personal message to the former agents. At one point, Winston's lab at the Watchpoint was invaded by Reaper and several Talon agents. He was able to dispatch them, and afterwards decided to finally recall Overwatch agents to active duty.

Combat Role:
Tank
Sub-class:
Offensive Tank
Abilities:
- Jump Pack: Assisted by his energy pack, Winston lunges through the air, dealing significant damage and staggering nearby enemies when he lands.
- Barrier Projector: Winston’s barrier projector extends a bubble-shaped field that absorbs damage until it's destroyed. Allies protected by the barrier can return fire from within it.
- Telsa Cannon: Winston’s weapon fires a short-range electric barrage for as long as he holds down the trigger.
- Fists: Winston's fists can do a good deal of melee damage towards his opponent.
- Primal Rage (Ultimate): Winston embraces his animal nature, significantly boosting his health and making him very difficult to kill, strengthening his melee attack, and allowing him to use his Jump Pack ability more frequently. While raging, Winston can only make melee and Jump Pack attacks.
Strengths:
Winston is one of the most mobile Tanks, capable of crossing vast distances in a single leap to bring the fight to his enemies. His Tesla Cannon, combined with the agility provided by his Jump Pack, makes him a persistent menace that can easily disrupt any enemy team through constant harassment and the power of his Primal Rage.
Weaknesses:
Much like Reinhardt, he is only capable of fighting at short range, and he is not nearly as consistently durable as the other Tanks.
OC Characters
Code Name:
"Creatrix"
Real Name:
UPC Advanced Engineering Robot Mk. 12
Age:
19
Race:
Omnic
Nationality:
Los Angeles, California - United States
Personality:
Creatix is a humble robot with a brilliant mind of creating things to help his allies in battle. He is incredibly intelligent, polite, and very mindful of his situation, being able to fix and create almost anything as long as he has the certain tools and parts for it. He's a good listener, while also being a good mentor to other future engineers. One thing he's really interested in currently is the anatomy and structure of the organic body, making him curious on how a bio-mechanical creation works. When not at work, Creatix usually relaxes and listens to classical music, and you can sometimes even hear him humming to some of his more favorite tracks. He also doesn't like to listen to those with rudeness or those who are simply not educated enough for him, which he can sometimes be a wisecrack to them, and he sometimes makes awkward jokes.
Physical Appearance:
Creatrix is a mechanical robot, coming in at a height of approximately 6 feet tall. His color scheme is mostly white and blue, with light neon blue being the color of his wiring. He also has a single blue eye on the right side of his head, a second one being non-existent to the opposite side. The metal that he is made of quite sturdy, but also surprisingly lightweight, enabling him to traverse quickly on all sorts of terrain. Creatrix is also commonly seen wearing a thin sports-mesh shirt, which also serves as minimal protection against incoming bullets, despite his metal exterior being able to deflect some bullets.
Affiliations:
Overwatch
Brief History:
The sentient robot we now know as “Creatrix” was created from within a Union Programming Corporation (UPC) facility in the blaring heat of Los Angeles, California. He was created simply as a omnic engineer, who was programmed to build new creations and create new technological marvels. Of course, he wasn’t the only one in the entire facility, as there were around 50 other omnics that he worked alongside with. Yet he seemed to have a bit of a bolt stuck in his head. While he worked fine for two months, he then seemed to be slacking in his jobs, often getting slower, sloppier, and lazier. No matter what tweaking one did to the robot’s mind, they just simply couldn’t find the problem. In fact, they were thinking that they would have to scrap him into parts if he didn’t find a way to self-repair his systems.
That would be ultimately be put to the test. During the War, the terrorist organization known as Talon, attacked the UPC base in Los Angeles in their attempt to stop the production of these engineering robots. Unfortunately, with their programing being assigned to constructing and engineering, the robots were helpless as they turned into scrap, and the humans into blood baths. Creatrix tried to assess the situation, when he was suddenly hit by a piece of exploded debris to his head. He momentarily shut down, as if a plug was pulled from his programing, and was renderedunconscious. However, he managed to wake up just a several seconds later, not as himself, but as a new robot being. It was like a new plug had inserted into his programing, one that was indeed better than before. With some newly acquired quick-thinking, he grabs two of the nearest weapons to him, those being the new prototype DIO-Photon Cannons, and began to fire at the terrorists. Eventually, he somehow managed to force them into retreat, but at a price of the UPC base to be completely destroyed.
Out of all the robots in that facility, Creatrix found himself to be the last to still be operational. The plans to make more had also ceased to exist, so the production could not go on. However, in their place, was the birth and the baptize of one of the most intelligent engineers of Overwatch. The name “Creatrix” was here to stay.
Once called into Overwatch, Creatrix’s new mind and lease on life made him able to create various gadgets that would help them win the war. It was also here where he created his own mobile turret module, who could self upgrade provided he gave it enough materials, as well as a portable battle dispenser. He would prove to be a valuable asset in the war, one that has saved a battle more than once, usually alongside big name heroes such as Torbjörn or Symmetra or simply by himself. However, when Overwatch disbanded, Creatrix was forced to go elsewhere. Having heard of a new UPC building being in Miami, Florida, the omnic found himself a new place to where he would work as a scientist and engineer for the next several years.
When the Overwatch were called back into action, Creatrix couldn’t ignore the invitation. Packing up his things, as well as his newfound knowledge, he goes back to help save the day once more.

Combat Role:
Defensive
Sub-class:
Builder
Abilities:
- Build Sentry Turret: Creatrix constructs an enemy-seeking, mobile autocannon that locks onto incoming enemies and can be upgraded to three levels, enhancing its performance. Only one can be built at a time, which takes 130 scrap pieces to build, and 200 scrap pieces to upgrade. It has a range of up to ten meters on its own.
- Build Health Dispenser: Creatrix constructs a dispenser that provides health packs for any friendly. Only one can be built at a time and takes 100 scrap pieces to build, and 200 scrap pieces to upgrade.
- Direct Control: Creatrix can tap into the turret he has created and assume direct control over its function. Here, it has no range boundary and Creatrix can fire upon anyone at almost any range as long as he sees them.
- Twin DIO-Photon Cannons: Creatrix can shoot streaks of plasma energy at an opponent. Can also switch it to become a gravity tool to place and fix his creations.
- Scrap Collector (Passive): On the battlefield, Creatrix can pick up unwanted scrap to repair or build new turrets. He can carry precisely 200 pieces of metal at a time.
- Shield Bubble (Ultimate): When under fire, Creatrix can throw a small device that once on the ground can issue a shield bubble covering 12 feet in both diameter and 8 feet in height for 20 seconds. All enemy weaponry cannot penetrate through the shield, including bombs, but the enemy can still walk right through it. Friendlies can fire from within the shield, but Creatrix cannot use his "Direct Control" ability on his turret.
Strengths:
Creatrix is a highly intelligent omnic that uses his programing in building creations and strategical calculations to help win the battle at hand. His turret can soak up a good deal of damage, as well as dishing out impressive firepower in the process. He can be considered a combination of both Torbjörn and Symmetra, while be similar when it comes to upgrading his turrets and collecting scrap from the former, his style however being more relating towards the latter, as well as having a dispenser as a support unit like her teleporter. He otherwise works well with other defensive players.
Weaknesses:
Creatrix must rely on his creations to help him in battle. Despite his turret being quite strong against enemy forces, it does have a limited range of ten meters when not using "Direct Control". Further more, while the DIO-Photon cannons can issue some decent damage against enemy forces, they're otherwise rather weak in firepower. High-defense tank units, units partnered with healers, and snipers from a very far distance are good counters against Creatrix.
Extra Info:
- D-289 Mobile Sentry Turret: A mobile turret Creatrix can create that rapid fires on the enemy. Level 2 adds another barrel on top, a 10% mobility boost, and a 15% reload time boost. Level 3 adds a third gun, allowing the turret to fire a bigger energy blast, with a 15% mobility boost and an additional 20% reload time boost. When fully upgraded, its mobility stat is up by 25%, and the reload being up by 30%.
- Creatrix's voice would sound much like VEGA from Doom 2016.
"Rappy"
Novaraptor
Code Name:
"Rappy"
Real Name:
Novaraptor
Age:
26
Race:
Novaraptor ipsumius
Nationality:
Horizon Lunar Colony
Personality:
Rappy is an intelligent and hot-tempered Raptor that has a slight affinity for gun weaponry. He can be friendly and outgoing in times of peace, as well as possibly mess around with some of his fellow mates, but then become serious and focused during battle or other no-nonsense situations. He tends to be a little aggressive at times, often talking smack to those he doesn't like and occasionally tries to slash their faces, depending on what they've done to piss him off. Rappy can also be sneaky when scouting deep into enemy territory and loves to unleash an ambush on the enemy forces, for he also has absolutely no fear of almost anything and anyone. He also despises Talon with a vengeful fury, all after what they did to him those years back...
Physical Appearance:
Rappy stands at 5'3" and is 20 feet (7 meters) long from tip to tail. His usual color is a very dark crimson color on his back, which transitions to being more brown on the sides, ultimately becoming white under his belly. He has six black feathers at the back of his head which can also determine how Rappy feels (straight means he's normal, standing up means he's happy or angry, and drooping down means he's sad or intimidated). He also has three sharp claws on both his hands, which still allow him to pick up weapons, as well as three on his feet, with one being a sickle claw on each. His red-n-black armor is also custom fitted to fit with his body, however he cannot take it off as it stays permanently to his body like Winston's.

Brief History:
The Horizon Lunar Colony was a space colony intended to serve as a launching point for humanity's next step in space exploration. In an effort to study the effects of long-term living in space, the station housed a number of genetically enhanced gorillas, as well as other creatures onboard as well. Despite the majority of the genetic animals being the great apes, there were some that weren't an ape. Hell, some weren't even mammals in the first place... let alone extinct. One of these creatures was the first revived dinosaur to be ever genetically created. This was a Novaraptor named Rappy.
As a hatchling, he was taken great care by the scientists onboard the facility and basically grew up with them. He also made some friends with the gorillas onboard the base, including a very specific one named Winston. In fact, out of all the gorillas, the two has a pretty good bond for one another, both being overshadowed by their original owners. However, during the Gorilla uprising of the HLC, Rappy and the other scientists were forced to escape the station. While most of the scientists were killed, some of those working with Rappy took them to their space rocket and simply flew back to Earth.
Despite safely leaving the moon base, the landing on Earth couldn't be said the same. While approaching the atmosphere, one of the wings broke off from the ship, making the pilot loose control and crash into a densely packed forest in Africa. Everyone but Rappy was killed during impact. The raptor was able to survive the crash but was now alone in what to him was an entirely new world. For years he traversed the continent of Africa, keeping himself mostly out of sight and trying to keep himself alive, until eventually being found by the Talon terrorist organization. This terrorist organization kidnapped poor Rappy and tried to make him part of their group. Threatened by death, he was forced to accept being with them and was brainwashed into serving them.
For the next few years, Rappy was forced to work for Talon and to fight Overwatch. Despite being mind controlled, he still had his own mind still in tact and tired to escape the brainwashing that the terrorists forcibly bestowed on him. He even tried getting the brainwashed chip out of his head, but was unfortunately unable to do so as any attempt in doing so would simply shock him. However, all would begin to change on that one day where he was on a mission at Watchpoint Gibraltar. It was there that he finally met back with Winston, that old childhood friend he had back on the moon base. It was there were Rappy's memories began to fluctuate, as if the memory of him was trying to refuse the brainwashed chip from controlling him, only to be met with agonizing shocks of electricity. At first, the two fought against one another, until Rappy begged in agony, that Winston should remove the chip from his head. Despite the raptor furiously fighting back against his own will, the gorilla agent was successful in removing the chip from his old friend's head and finally released from this brainwashed torture.
Rappy gratefully thanked Winston for his help and soon after joined Overwatch. Unfortunately, despite seeing some action, that too wasn't to last, as soon enough Overwatch was disbanded. This forced Rappy to hide in the wilderness once again, trying to stop any crime wherever and whenever it happened, as well as assassinating any Talon operatives he could find, making himself quite a target for them. As the years passed by however, he eventually received the Recall from Winston and Overwatch, allowing Rappy to finally get back with the program he so rightfully deserved.

This terrorist organization kidnapped poor Rappy and tried to make him part of their group. Threatened by death, he was forced to accept being with them and was brainwashed into serving them.
For the next few years, Rappy was forced to work for Talon and to fight Overwatch. Despite being mind controlled, he still had his own mind still in tact and tired to escape the brainwashing that the terrorists forcibly bestowed on him. He even tried getting the brainwashed chip out of his head, but was unfortunately unable to do so as any attempt in doing so would simply shock him. However, all would begin to change on that one day where he was on a mission at Watchpoint Gibraltar. It was there that he finally met back with Winston, that old childhood friend he had back on the moon base. It was there were Rappy's memories began to fluctuate, as if the memory of him was trying to refuse the brainwashed chip from controlling him, only to be met with agonizing shocks of electricity. At first, the two fought against one another, until Rappy begged in agony, that Winston should remove the chip from his head. Despite the raptor furiously fighting back against his own will, the gorilla agent was successful in removing the chip from his old friend's head and finally released from this brainwashed torture.
Rappy gratefully thanked Winston for his help and soon after joined Overwatch. Unfortunately, despite seeing some action, that too wasn't to last, as soon enough Overwatch was disbanded. This forced Rappy to hide in the wilderness once again, trying to stop any crime wherever and whenever it happened, as well as assassinating any Talon operatives he could find, making himself quite a target for them. As the years passed by however, he eventually received the Recall from Winston and Overwatch, allowing Rappy to finally get back with the program he so rightfully deserved.
Combat Role:
Offense
Sub-class:
Scout | Flanker
Abilities:
- Double-Jump: Rappy can double jump using two launchers, each on his leg armor, that allows him to reach higher places.
- Stealth Mine: Rappy can drop a stealth mine that detonates if an enemy steps on it. Usually used in tight corridors or in sneaky locations. He can drop three active ones at a time.
- DG-93 Burst Rifle (Primary Attack): The DG-93 seeker rifle can fire four rapid shots per trigger.
- Bite (Secondary Attack): In close combat situations, if Rappy gets close to an opponent, he can also bite them, causing some damage to them.
- Wall Climb (Passive): Rappy can wall climb on walls, both vertically or horizontally, and can latch onto said wall.
- Killswitch (Ultimate): Rappy's eyes glow yellow as he locks on to his next victim. If he can lock on to his prey for three seconds, he'll instantly run super quickly towards his opponent, latch onto it, slash and gnaw it, and take off 90% - 100% of the enemy's health, while also regenerating most of his health in the process. While searching for his opponent, he has ten seconds to find and lock onto it, and if he fails, it simply doesn't do anything but heal him up by 50%.
Strengths:
Rappy is a very fast unit that can maneuver very quickly and strike pretty hard whether it's with his guns or claws. He's also quite stealthy, with his smaller body being able to hide pretty well and ambush when the time is right, as well as being a good distractor against the enemy. With his double-jump, Rappy can also hop onto places where no normal human would be able too.
Weaknesses:
Despite the armor, Rappy isn't the strongest unit, and can be picked off fairly easy by heavy fire or simply a well placed shot to the head or any exposed skin.

Sun-mi is a caring and protective young woman who cares deeply for the well being of those around her and their mental and physical health. Night Rose is self Confidant and straight forward who acts as a sort of blood knight who wants nothing more then to see her enemies beaten and defeated within reason. These two extremes exist due to the fact that she was once a world famous gamer who needed to act strong and tough so the meta gaming and the MLG community wouldn't consume her with her having a soft and kind personality but Night Rose attitude proves to be useful when the Meka pilot programs started up and she needed to aim her aggression on a tangible and dangerous target. But once the dust settled and the first of the Meka pilots died, Sun-mi has to endure emotional and physical trauma at the realization that being a war hero wasn't a game, but she kept a brave face so she and the other Meka pilots can protect South Korea and the rest of the world with their skills. But many of them are still children and her nightmares late at night and alone often remind Sun-mi of this brutal reality.

Sun-mi was born to a pair of small business owners in Seoul. Her parents owned a small flower shop that would later influence her code name and motif. From a young Sun-mi showed proficiency in gymnastics and Gaming, partially Star Craft to the point where she became a professional gamer at the tender age of 15, due to the high stakes and demands of the MLG scene Sun-mi had to toughen up and use a code name to hide her softness from her enemies, She picked Night Rose and even dyed parts of her hair red so she could look tough and rebellious which she wasn't but she slowly grew into the guise on screen and interviews. For a time she was one of the top player in the MLG scene beating many world renowned gamers who were there much longer and had more experience when it looks like she would become the top player in the world, it was taken away from her by a young hotshot Named D.va. At first Night Rose was bitter and angry at her constant defeat by D.va but eventually Night Rose calmed down and just enjoyed her spot near the top as she second in the world which was still incredible.
But her life in second place would be shaken as joined the Mobil EXO-Force when they needed skilled gamers to help defend South Korea and eastern seas from rampaging Omnics. At first Night Rose seen it as a game like many others within the force but when Meka pilots started to die or get horrifically injured Sun-mi realized the severity of the Meka's duties. Some within the Meka force still believed the whole thing to be a game but Sun-mi did her best to protect the other pilots and help the other pilots though emotional and mental trauma so much so she even started to study physiology on her off time to further help her allies. But one person can only do so much and she is slowly becoming consumed by the solider's lifestyle and she simply wants to go back to a life of gaming.

Strengths: Night Rose is a more offensively powerful D.va, she has better range and DpS than D.va she is also incredibly good on maps with lots of pitfalls as all of her abilities can cause knock back. She is also good at scattering teams with all her abilities and her ultimate. She can also create temporary cover with her ultimate which can be good for pushes when the enemy team is scattered.
Weaknesses: But she is defensively weak for a tank as she has slightly less health then D.va and she doesn't have a shield ability like her. She also has a larger hit box than D.va and is easier to hit when not in flight which on that topic also has slightly less range then D.va's. Her main weapons also need a bit of charge up time to have the range and power to be useful.

He is also quite smart and tactical, making plans to avoid the least amount of bloodshed and injury on his side, but with a team he tends to focus too much on avoiding injury then winning a fight, but by himself he is reckless and foolhardy as he will kill each and every enemy in his way to victory without any care for his personal safety. Art is proud about his role in Overwatch, he proudly remarks saying his Overwatch days was when he did the most use to the world and felt like he made his parents proud by saving many good lives and ending many bad ones with his Debilitating nanotechnology.

Both joined Overwatch when it was first formed, both were well known units on the front lines for their skills. Art 's father saved many lives during the Omnic crisis and his mother had one of the highest numbers of confirmed Sniper kills in Overwatch rivaling Ana Amari herself. one of the few memories Art has with his parents was his father teaching him First Aid and his mother teaching him to aim a sniper rifle both skills he would carry with him into his adulthood. a few years before Art joined overwatch his parents retired early due to severe injuries after a sting operation went astray, leaving his mother in a Coma and his father with memory problems. Both couldn't take care of him as he was still in highschool when this happen. He was temporary placed into foster care for a few years where he vowed to become a surgeon so he could save people like his parents from their injuries.
Art joined the Canadian Army at a young age so he could become a skilled medic/on field surgeon. In a few short years he made a name for himself in the army that Overwatch wanted him to join their medical branch and become one of the group's field medics. On the battlefield he was skilled Sniper and Medic. But off he was a skilled biotictechnology expert, alongside Mercy, or Angela Ziegler off the battlefield. The two were always at odds. Mercy believed the Biotic technology were best used off to cure illnesses and severe injuries and not for war tactics while Art believed they were best used on the battlefield so soldiers can keep fighting and enemies can be beaten faster so there is less bloodshed overall by weaponize Biotic technology. But the two rarely interacted with each other when not mandatory so there was never any huge argument between the two. But Art role in creating Debilitating biotic technology helped in the way of warfare but was still in it's experimental stages.
But his Biotic technology was disclosed and outlawed when Overwatch fell though. Which left Art in a rather precarious situation, for a time Art was jobless as his reputation as an overwatch operative and a user of an outlawed technology made it hard for him to get a job since the people didn't want to place trust into a person with his particular set of skills. But after a year he decided to make a living as a vigilante, using his outlawed biotic technology to kill and or incapacitate dangerous criminals and terrorist as well as healing the sick and injured he met on his path to improve the world. He did this for the remaining years Overwatch was dissolved until he got a message from Winston that Overwatch was being recalled and reformed which he gladly joined as his life as a Vigilante was becoming hollow and meaningless without a higher calling to look for.

SST Laboratories Siege Automaton E54
Age:
30
Race:
Omnic
Nationality:
Unknown
Personality:
Bastion is a curious little robot with a deep love and curiosity for nature and all it's trappings. Bastion is normally very gentle-even harmless to most animals and people who don't aim weapons at him, but it's still a killing machine and when the unit detects danger its core programming will kick into overdrive and it will utilize it's entire arsenal to eliminate the threat. this has led to it getting into instances of conflict with the few humans it has encounter, which driven to avoid populated areas in favor of the wild, uncharted regions of the world.
But when it comes to contact with humans and other Omnics willingly it is very gentle and even tries to talk to humans with beeps and boops which they will never understand, Bastion appears to have a good sense of right and wrong as its never attacks humans that are on its side, and its seems to understand humans more then people would like to believe. Its rather emphatic and good at reading people and their voice tones, how it does this nobody knows. Bit weirdly enough Bastion has a snarky sense of humor when on the battlefield, which seems to be a left over of his core combat programming, but only omnic can translate his beeps and boops so it goes entirely over the heads of humans and other organic life. He also he always has a bird companion around that people call Ganymede.
Physical Appearance:
Bastion looks like your average SST Laboratories Siege Automaton with the exception of having several scrapes, dents and rust from his long years of inactivity. Bastion stands at 7'3" and weighs a literal ton.
Affiliations:
None
Brief History:
Originally created for peacekeeping purposes, Bastion robot units possessed the unique ability to rapidly reconfigure themselves into an assault-cannon mode. But during the Omnic Crisis, they were turned against their human makers, forming the bulk of the omnics' rebel army. Following the resolution of the crisis, nearly all of them were destroyed or disassembled. To this day, Bastion units still symbolize the horrors of the conflict.
One unique Bastion unit, severely damaged in the final battles of the war, was left forgotten for over a decade. It lay dormant, exposed to the elements and rusting while nature slowly reclaimed it. Overgrown with vines and roots and nested upon by small animals, the robot sat inert, seemingly unaware of the passing of time. That was until one fateful day, when it unexpectedly reactivated. With its combat programming all but lost, it instead displayed an intense curiosity about the natural world and its inhabitants. This inquisitive Bastion unit set out to explore its surroundings and discover its purpose on a war-ravaged planet.

Configuration: Tank: Bastion transforms into a tank for several seconds, replacing its weapon with a cannon that fires explosive projectiles and gaining increased maximum health for the duration. On activation, Bastion also gains armor equal to its max health increase.
Strengths: Bastion is has high DPS which means he can shred though many heroes like wet paper towel, he also has good durability with his self repair ability and his ultimate gives him a good boost in defense and health and higher weapon damage for lower attack speed which makes it good for Pushes.
Weaknesses: Bastion is a highly stationary target as his sentry form will not allow him to move as well as his self repair ability making him unable to attack or move. Also Bastion is incredibly weak to flanking and sneak attacks.

Mei-Ling Zhou
Age:
31
Race:
Human
Nationality:
Chinese
Personality:
Mei-Ling Zhou despite what she has been though, is very kindhearted and positive, showing compassion for others and having a desire to preserve earth's ecosystem for generations to come. Mei is an optimist though and though, believing the world can still be saved and that her friends death won't be for vain. But in secret she suffers from minor survivor's guilt wondering why she's the only one to survive the cyrostasis, but she hides its well from others. Mei is an apologetic person, apologizing even while freezing or killing enemies, but she also apologizes for accidents and failing people. She is also an extraordinary climatologist and is often seen writing down notes on the statuses of the weather and temperature as well as comparing them to weather back in her time.
Physical Appearance:
mei is short at (5'3") and has a chubby frame but that doesn't stop her from being active on the battlefield and keeping up with super soldiers. she has brown hair tied up into a bun with a decorative needle though it and thick rimmed glasses in front of her brown eyes. Mei is always seen wearing heavy winter clothes and boots even in places where its far to hot to wear it comfortably.
Affiliations:
Overwatch, Formally and currently
Brief History:
Mei is a scientist who has taken the fight to preserve the environment into her own hands.[1] She specializes in the study of abnormal climate phenomena and their effects on different ecosystems around the world. She strongly believes in preserving the world for future generations.
hough many blamed the planet's escalating, unexplained climate phenomena on the advent of new technologies, the rapidly growing omnic population, and drastically increased consumption of resources, the true cause remained unknown. To find a solution, Overwatch established a series of eco-Watchpoints at remote, critical locations worldwide.
Mei-Ling Zhou was a member of this multi-year initiative. A peerless climatologist, she had introduced cutting-edge innovations in the field of climate manipulation that protected at-risk areas in Asia and beyond. She was assigned to the program's monitoring station at Watchpoint: Antarctica when disaster struck: a sudden, catastrophic polar storm battered the installation and cut it off from the outside world, leaving the facility damaged and the scientists stranded. As their supplies dwindled, they entered cryostasis in a last-ditch effort to survive until a rescue attempt could be made.
But that rescue never came. It was years later when the team's cryogenics chamber was finally discovered. Mei, still in hibernation, was the only survivor. Physically, she hadn't aged a day, but the world Mei awoke to had gone through considerable changes: Overwatch was no more, the serious climate issues had worsened, and none of the eco-watchpoints were in operation. Any clues that they had uncovered were lost.
Mei decided to continue her work on her own. Equipped with a portable version of her climate-manipulation technology, she traveled around the world, hoping to re-establish the eco-network and track down the causes of the threats to the planet's ecosystem
Combat Role:
Defense
Sub-class:
Annoyer/Builder
Abilities:
Cryo-Freeze: Mei instantly surrounds herself with a block of thick ice. She heals and ignores damage while encased, but cannot move or use abilities.
Ice Wall: Mei generates an enormous ice wall that obstructs lines of sight, stops movement, and blocks attacks.
Endothermic Blaster: Mei’s blaster unleashes a concentrated, short-range stream of frost that damages, slows, and ultimately freezes enemies in place.
Icicle: Mei can also use her blaster to shoot icicle-like projectiles at medium range.
Blizzard: Mei deploys a weather-modification drone that emits gusts of wind and snow in a wide area. Enemies caught in the blizzard are slowed and take damage; those who linger too long are frozen solid.
Strengths:
Mei is an excellent close to mid range hero, able to freeze targets solids and making them easy targets for herself and allies to pick off, she is also good at blocking powerful ranges attacks and sentries with her ice wall and healing off damage with her Cyro-freeze giving her good bulk.
Weaknesses:
Mei is weak to ranged attackers like snipers, and she also has a tough time dealing with high speed characters like Lucio and Tracer because it hard her to keep a consistent shot at them to freeze them. She is also weak to powerful close range combatants like Reaper since he can kill her faster then she can freeze him.

PUPPETMASTER
Personal
Code Name:
Puppetmaster
Real Name:
Marcus Miles
Age:
19
Race:
Human
Nationality:
America (fuck yeah)
Personality:
Shy and reserved, Marcus is the kind of guy you usually won't find throwing himself into social situations. He's friendly enough when approached but makes little to no effort to go out of his way to talk to people except on extremely rare occasions. He seems to spend most of his time alone and claims he works best on his own, which is reflected in his choices in videogames (single-player focus over competitive multiplayer). Whether he really dislikes being around people or is just too shy to intitiate is really up for debate. He joined Overwatch out of a desire to conquer this fear and be a part of something bigger, of a team. Being a designer of robots, Marcus isn't necessarily prejudiced against Omnics like some people *coughTorbjorncough* but he has a difficult time thinking of them as human and dissociating them from the mindless machines he creates and works with. He has a massive crush on Night Rose.
Affiliations:
United States Armed Forces
Overwatch
Brief History:
Recruited out of college at MIT for his skills in robotics, Marcus was asked by the US military to help create and design a more foolproof next generation of autonomous machines, ones that wouldn't display the problems evident with the Omnics (namely that pesky free will). Becoming a pilot and designer of drones, Marcus spent most of his time inbetween school, work, and playing videogames for quite a while before he heard the news floating down from his bosses. Overwatch had been recalled. Like many children growing up after the Omnic Crisis, Marcus idolized the group, and decided to join if he could (even if it was illegal at the time). He was accepted into the organization quickly, dealing mostly with (you guessed it) Omnic-related affairs. It's only recently he's requested to become a field agent. I wonder why?
Combat Role:
Support
Sub-class:

Abilities:
- Call Drone: Marcus calls a new drone to bolster his forces or replace one that's been destroyed. Each drone destroyed has a 3 second cooldown. He can have up to 6 drones deployed.
- Manual Piloting: Marcus takes a seat and devotes his full attention to manually piloting his drones on his holotop. This leaves him vulnerable and immobile but gives him a range of about 500m and allows him to maneuver multiple drones independently to perform separate tasks.
- Take Point: Marcus orders one of his drones to either defend or deliver a small supply drop of armor and shields to a teammate, causing it to leave his company and be assigned to someone else.
Primary Fire:
Automatic Smart-Fire
Secondary Fire:
Lock-On
Passive:
Toggle Offense/Defense
Ultimate:
murder.exe: Detonates all active drones. Drones do weak to medium damage individually, but 3 or more can demolish a tank and all 6 can clear a capture point.
Strengths: Long distance engagements, supporting the team from behind the frontline
Weaknesses: Direct confrontation (low health and minimal shielding makes him about as squishy as Zenyatta)

Reinhardt
Real Name:
Reinhardt Wilhelm
Age:
61
Race:
Human
Nationality:
German
Personality:
Reinhardt Wilhelm styles himself as a champion of a bygone age, who lives by the knightly codes of valor, justice, and courage. Possessing a boisterous personality and an "active imagination," he enjoys eating currywurst, and is a fan of David Hasselhoff's music. He loves children, including the younger team members like D.va and Lucio, and is always the heart of any group he's a part of, providing moral support and a pillar of rock-hard solidarity and muscle. Secretly crushes on Ana and is a closet D.va fanboy.
Affiliations:
Overwatch
Brief History:
Over thirty years ago, Overwatch was founded to counter the threat of the robot uprisings around the world. Reinhardt, a highly decorated German soldier, was inducted as part of the original Overwatch strike team that put an end to the Omnic Crisis. After the conflict's resolution, Overwatch grew into a global institution, keeping the peace in a war-torn world. Reinhardt proved himself to be one of its most stalwart champions.
Reinhardt's unique ethics and larger-than-life persona earned the admiration of his peers and superiors alike. Never afraid to speak his mind, he was Overwatch's most vocal supporter and, when necessary, its harshest critic, providing a constant reminder that Overwatch was meant to be a force for good. He got on well with Torbjörn(who maintained his armor). At some point he was stationed at Watchpoint: Gibraltar, where he got a tan.
Having served into his late fifties, Reinhardt was faced with mandatory retirement from combat operations. Despondent about being removed from active duty, Reinhardt feared that his days of purpose and glory had ended. As times grew darker and Overwatch came under suspicion of corruption and sedition, Reinhardt could only watch as the cause he had dedicated his life to defending surrendered in disgrace.
One year prior to its disbandanment, Overwatch's Swiss headquarters was destroyed, apparently killing Jack Morrison in the blast. Reinhardt spoke fondly of his former commander at his memorial service. When the recall was announced nearly six years later, Reinhardt was located in southwestern Greenland, and immediately rushed back to join his comrades and old friends once again at the Watchpoint.

Lena Oxton

❖ Nationality
English
❖ Personality
Tracer is an energetic and cheeky girl, often loving a good joke and giggling during battle. She's often quick-witted and displays great affection and even insight towards her friends, such as Winston and Mercy. She is extremely fearless and determined, not being afraid to take chances, as well as enthusiastic, and loves discovering new things and places.

Overwatch
❖ Brief History
Born and raised in London, England, Lena Oxton always had an excitable and energetic personality. She would challenge her fellow classmates to races and sprints during the mild English summers. It was during her childhood that Lena developed an interest in airplanes, especially the sound barrier, top speed air crafts. Her room in her childhood home was dominated by planes and fast cars, foreshadowing her future job within Overwatch.
Joining Overwatch near it’s prime, Lena, now dawning the call-sign of Tracer, was the youngest person ever in Overwatch’s experimental flight program. She was ecstatic nonetheless. Helping those in need, hanging out with friends, all while flying her childhood dream, who could be more content than Tracer.
Due to her expert piloting skills, Tracer was picked to fly the glorious Slipstream, an almost dangerously fast jet. The woman accepted the job with leaps and bounds, and felt her heart racing while being seated within the jet. As the menacing blue jet ascended into the sky, a painful knot tied in Tracer’s stomach. Something felt... different.
Tracer’s gut turned out to be correct. As her finger lowered onto the button labelled ‘Teleport’ and pressed in, a deafening boom could be heard from around the cabin and high in the sky. The Slipstream’s body crumpled and imploded with a fiery orange explosion that fell ungracefully towards the earth. Tracer, not found among the rubble or ejected outside of the plane, was presumed dead on implosion. Overwatch members alike mourned for their young, lost pilot.
Waking from a comatose-like state, Tracer reappeared new Overwatch’s base after a few agonizing months. Her steps were not heard, and her body flickered in and out of reality. The woman’s body would disappear completely and re associate a few seconds forward or backwards in time, or for more extreme cases, for several days Tracer would not be seen around the base. She was a breathing ghost, out of the grasp of time.
Her mood spiraled downwards, wanting to be over with this constant moving and disappearing. It took an immense toll on Tracer’s mental health. Believing she was a lost cause and would remain a ghastly figure of Overwatch, until a figurative light guided her in the right direction.
A profound scientist in Overwatch’s ranks, Winston, developed a chronal accelerator for Tracer to ground her in the present time. It took weeks of physical training for Lena to learn how to control her own time, allowing the agent freed movement and abilities to rewind her clock. Tracer is forever grateful for Winston. If he had not shown up when he did, the woman might’ve completely have fade into the fabric of time.

The woman’s body would disappear completely and re associate a few seconds forward or backwards in time, or for more extreme cases, for several days Tracer would not be seen around the base. She was a breathing ghost, out of the grasp of time.
Her mood spiraled downwards, wanting to be over with this constant moving and disappearing. It took an immense toll on Tracer’s mental health. Believing she was a lost cause and would remain a ghastly figure of Overwatch, until a figurative light guided her in the right direction.
A profound scientist in Overwatch’s ranks, Winston, developed a chronal accelerator for Tracer to ground her in the present time. It took weeks of physical training for Lena to learn how to control her own time, allowing the agent freed movement and abilities to rewind her clock. Tracer is forever grateful for Winston. If he had not shown up when he did, the woman might’ve completely have fade into the fabric of time.
❖ Combat Role & Sub-Class
Offense – Rapid-Fire
❖ Abilities
❖ Ability 1 – Blink
Blink teleports Tracer a short distance in the direction she's currently moving. This allows Tracer to move unpredictably: she can Blink past an enemy to attack their back, or Blink to the side to dodge an enemy's attacks. Multiple Blinks can be chained back-to-back, allowing Tracer to travel across gaps that normally can't be reached with just her jump.
❖ Ability 2 – Recall
Tracer bounds backward in time, returning her health, ammo and position on the map to precisely where they were a few seconds before.
❖ Primary Fire – Pulse Pistols
Her primary fire rapidly shoots both pistols, dealing heavy damage. These pistols have a large cone of fire and heavy damage drop-off, making them ineffective beyond short range engagements.
❖ Ultimate – Pulse Bomb
When activated, Tracer tosses her bomb forwards a short distance. If it impacts an enemy, it will stick to that enemy. Otherwise, the bomb will stick to the first solid surface it lands on. After a short delay, the bomb explodes, dealing a heavy amount of damage to enemies in a small area around the bomb. Note that this explosion will also damage Tracer. Pulse Bomb is devastating on clustered groups or static defenses like Torbjorn's turret. A common ability combination to safely bomb a target is to use Blink to get in close, toss the bomb on them, and then Recall to get back out of danger.
❖ Strengths
She is extremely mobile, quick, and makes good hit damages. Her primary fire rapidly shoots both pistols, dealing heavy damage. These pistols have a large cone of fire and heavy damage drop-off, making them ineffective beyond short range engagements.
❖ Weaknesses
Her low base Health and lack of regenerating shields means that she must make good use of Blink and Recall to avoid or reverse damage.

Truly a different man than his past iterations, Genji has gone through multiple changes through his life - evolution intended for survival, in these cases. In the end, despite still looking down a long, narrow road, Genji surpassed the trials intended to break him down and ultimately destroyed him. In doing so, he achieved a piece of both mind and body; in doing so, he became whole, once more. Even if parts of him come in mismatched metal and skin and sinew, the heart of a man still beats true beneath his ribs.
[雀] Young, fast, fleeting; the sparrow harbors diligence and joy, surmounted only by its vigilance and protectiveness. Genji Shimada never truly embraced such aspects. Instead, he represented a materialistic lifestyle, full of fleeting youth and an abundance of careless nature. As his brother would put it, Genji never deserved the title of Shimada. His acts ranged from frivolous to embarrassing, knowing full well his father's favor would cease to drain completely. Even in the dutiful eye of his brother, Genji approached life without care and while he took his ninja training seriously, everything else fell by the wayside. The young sparrow took up the mantle of playboy heir like it would have gone out of style without his intervention. Unpressed by the burden of the Shimada-gumi's illicit dealings, Genji found many friends, many drugs, and many willing bodies. That joyful nature still rests inside him, a young sparrow at heart. The blade of his own brother taught him hatred, however, and snuffed out the boy still chained within him.
[刀] Pierced through the heart and left burned in rubble, the sparrow fell to close to the wolf. Trapped in his jaws, he let the wolf guide him to the ground, where the rough ground burned holes through his chest and the wolf's teeth shred his body piece by piece. All that laid in tact came rising up in burning hatred, allowing his body to piece together in whatever way made him bolder, faster, stronger. In those days, Genji warred with his own conscious. His heart still beat heavy in his chest, but his mind urged him to deafen his ears to the steady rhythm. Genji Shimada allowed himself to be swallowed in the gaping maw of his rage and in doing so, he tore down what was once his kingdom until only ashes left in its place. Vengeance destroyed him further until all he saw was the stitched, broken glass of himself in the mirror. This anger and self-hatred buried itself deep within Genji and compelled him in search for something of meaning. But it only further drove a purposelessness into Genji's still beating heart, turning the iron casing around it cold.
[鯉] Tranquility symbolized an impossibility for Genji. From a weapon to a harmless carp - a whiskered koi in mottled flesh, unaware of the jeweled vision the sun shone upon his new skin. It felt easy going with the flow of things, letting his feet carry him forward. An emptiness presided within him and it felt only natural that he let that take a hold of his feet. The steady rhythm of his heart pounding against metal in steady beat to the clank of his feet. Desert hills, haunting tundra, the dark crunch of leaves in a dank forest, all of it passed him by - the weapon sheathed, the koi hidden from the sun. And then, suddenly, with mountain in his sights, he found his peace. The koi suddenly turned toward the current, faced with a decision: "You are welcome to listen as a student, and face the judgment clouding your vision; you are welcome to listen as vessel, standing still in the wake of an ocean; and you are welcome to listen with your back turned. But come, listen." And the gradual stand still, and the turn, and finally the embrace. Genji allowed the words to fill the empty cavities of his broken pieces and fill the gaps with a bright golden hue. The koi allowed himself to swim upstream, against the current, with his mottled skin a jewel in the sunlight and a pearl in the moon.
[龍] It is said that a group of koi glistened in the Yellow River, swimming upstream. A waterfall barred their progress, yet some swam on in persistence. Even in spite of the obstacles, the chiding of Oni and their meddling, one koi pushed itself beyond its limits. It conquered the waterfall and in doing so the Gods granted it unimaginable power - and thus a golden dragon broke through the skies, its scales glistening like jewels in the perpetual sunlight of the heavens. It found its peace and thus the youngest Shimada prince, a broken and mottled koi, turned its curse into a gift - faced the obstacles in his course and conquered it. Now he sees the world in a new light. Some semblance of the young sparrow shines through the green of his visor, a mischievous glint. But, the young Shimada allowed his mind to age into his body and a great respect for the world shines through most of all. Not only an appreciation for himself but for the world around him. Genji takes nothing for granted, and the respect that runs deep into Japanese tradition also guides his actions. Though, a symbol of wisdom and tranquility, a dragon is still a dragon and with a purpose behind its piercing gaze, he drives himself to seek justice and balance overall. With the resurgence of Overwatch, Genji now knows his place in the works - the entire scheme is but a machine to him and machines are much like puzzles in that the pieces fit perfectly. And he fits perfectly within this cog, driven by his honor and sacrifice; years have given Genji a clue into responsibility and it is heavily swayed by his own moral compass. No longer a machine for vengeance, but both man and machine intertwined in harmony.

Unfortunately for genetics, they didn't quite add Genji in the height department, as he stands roughly 5'4" at full height. Well, it depends on the perspective as Genji's own occupation tends to require a great deal of stealth and his compact form tends to aid in his sneaking capacity. Most of Genji is completely covered in armor and a synthetic fabric that's quite tough which covers most of his body. It's a smooth material, made completely of carbon fiber nanotubes, allowing for an unbelievable flexibility, but also incredibly difficult to pierce or damage. Which is a good thing, since it acts as skin for him. It feels like a mix between leather and fabric to simulate the texture of skin - it's a bit... on the synthetic side, but it's a decent replica. Over this layer of synthetic skin, Genji keeps himself well armored and padded up with an off-white armor. It's all very skin tight and most of it's made of tough material specifically designed to both protect and allow for a complete 100% range of flexibility.
Beneath all of this, the layer of synthetic skin mainly, can be considered Genji's skeleton. Or, well, chassis. It's difficult to explain as most of Genji comes complete in cybernetics encasing all of his vital organs. Some of it, like parts of his chest and shoulder, as well as the entirety of his head, is all scarred and burned flesh - a lot of it has been moderately repaired, yet it didn't come out as a great success. If Genji ever comes out of his armor, it's mostly just his helmet removed with his layer of synthetic skin still covering him, though a lot of his skull and side of his head have various cybernetics that aid in keeping everything above the shoulder in working order, as well as an entire spinal column attached to his back that keep him both aligned and pump needed fluid into his body. Though shame doesn't come to his mind, Genji understands the scarring, as well as the combination of man and machine tend to rub people the wrong way - he refuses to make guests uncomfortable and he tends to treat everyone he knows as an honored guest, anyways.

Beneath Mount Fuji, surrounded in cherry blossoms and temples dedicated to various Shinto and Buddhist gods, lays the Shimada-gumi palace. A respected clan of wealthy business men, the Shimada runs deep with corruption. Akin to the Yakuza clans that ruled Japan in the 21st century, the Shimada-gumi held present day Japan within a tight grip. Aided by dragons it seeks only further power to fill its ranks and it does so in illicit business deals and various crimes hidden beneath the radar of most governments. In fact, the Shimada held so much power, it became virtually untouchable.
Within the clan's waning days (unknown to most), the head of the clan sired two boys: Hanzo and Genji. A wolf and a sparrow. They cared for each other, especially in their early days. Genji looked up to his brother, a shining example of Shimada glory, yet ceaseless energy took Genji beyond most people's grasps, aside from his father. Unlike Hanzo, the youngest Shimada had no responsibilities and the head of the clan, his father, often doted on young Genji. In fact, Genji experienced childhood with little to no knowledge of most of the Shimada's illicit activity. He'd often run through the temple grounds swinging his bokken (木剣; training sword) and throwing lopsided, self-made, wooden shuriken at the idling birds huddled under the shade of cherry blossoms. His brother hadn't thought much of it, already steeped in his own duty in his studies to potentially take over the family business - though still young, he mostly studied for his exams and work for school.
Knowledge and wisdom came with age and as Genji grew older, he took advantage of his status and wealth even in spite of his own knowledge of his family's activity. Though stricken with the guilt of this knowledge, Genji often brushed off his own moral compass in favor of drowning himself in drinks, company, and sex or allowing himself to fully focus on his ninja training. This carelessness often ran holes in the family's budget, but no consequence came of it. His father still doted on Genji, treated him like the prince he seemed to think he was. This infuriated many Shimada-gumi members and even earned the ire of his brother. Hanzo's urging never reached Genji's ears, however, and the younger Shimada only ever further leaned on their father for support. He became a nuisance, mostly, though both Hanzo and their father loved Genji dearly.
Until, of course, their father passed away. Many mourned the death of Shimada's master for days afterwards. Both brothers split a part, with Hanzo tasked with the burden of acting as the clan's pillar until he could rightfully take his father's place. Urged by many of the higher ups in the clan, as well as quite a bit of the goons that made up the Shimada-gumi agents, Hanzo made to convince his brother to assist him and take up duty as an agent for the Shimada clan. The exchange went as expected, with Hanzo screaming for his brother to grow up, learn responsibility, and take up the mantle father prepared for them both - they could hold the world within their hands if they wanted to. Genji refused, his already burning guilt and morality bubbling to the surface. He didn't want the world; they didn't deserve it; the Shimada-gumi does nothing but spread a seed of corruption through the world. He would have no part in it. Though Genji also refused to fight his brother, Hanzo took up arms in his rage and the wolf became a dragon, swallowing the sparrow whole in burning flames. Hanamura suffered for it, the workshop erupting into flames and consuming more lives than just the young Shimada prince.
Fortunately, an a group of Overwatch agents tasked with monitoring Shimada activity in the neighboring area took to saving as many lives from the wreckage as they could. Genji had been among them and the young Shimada, despite the burns mottling his face, was immediately recognized and brought to Overwatch's Swiss headquarters. There, Angela Ziegler did as much as she could under official orders and despite her protests and urging, Genji was denied any more procedures. He was stable for the time being, that was all that mattered. Thus, they gave Genji a choice: they save him, rebuild his body, and aid Overwatch in taking down the Shimada Clan or he can die a criminal on the operating table, consumed by the flames that killed hundreds. Driven by desperation and a simmering rage, Genji gave his assent and Dr. Ziegler went to work.
After weeks of repairs to his tissue, reconstruction and stabilization of as much of his human body as possible, as well as the implementation of cybernetics to replace faulty body parts and repair his spinal cord, Genji came out the perfect weapon. Overwatch first enlisted his aid as an informant and once he could be trusted further, Genji became a full member of Overwatch and assigned to a team designated with uprooting Shimada from not only Japan but the entire world. Fueled by self-loathing and a selfish desire to see his family's empire burned to the ground, Genji did as ordered. It took months of hard, back breaking work, but the mission had been deemed mostly a success. The Shimada-gumi erupted from the inside out and with Hanzo burdened by the weight of his murder, they had no guidance. They had yet to truly destroy the organization, but they had crippled it enough that it would take years to rebuild their once glorious empire, especially without a Shiamda to guide them.
Once the mission finished, Genji had nothing to distract his mind from the crippling pain of that wracked his body. They cybernetics, the reconstruction, everything had gone seamlessly and without an issue, so the pain couldn't possibly be physical. But it shook him so violently to his core that it felt physical; it at least drained him dry of any want or desire. It drove him into an emotional overdrive and the once carefree Genji turned into an empty vessel. He looked upon himself in disgust - neither machine nor man. So what could he possibly be? How could anyone trust a man comprised of 80% metal. His heart still beat in his chest, pumping fluid through his body still, yet bone and flesh had been replaced with a metal chassis.
This wandering continued aimlessly for quite a few years. Genji didn't stop to look up until sand turned to grass and grass turned to the hard rock and the crunch of snow beneath his metallic feet - he no longer felt the cold. The mountain trail he found himself on lead him through the treacherous Himalayas and eventually into the compound build by the omnic Shambali. Tired and hungry, Genji allowed the robot monks to take him in, shelter him, clothe him, and feed him. One particular monk took a liking to Genji and he'd introduced himself as Tekhartha Zenyatta. The turmoil in the young man struck a cord within the Shambali monk, wracked with the recent mourning of Mondatta's passing. He tasked himself with aiding Genji in whatever way he could and even if the cyborg refused to listen to his teachings, Genji always came back to the compound. He always sat within sight of the monk during meditation. The questions that came would be inevitable and eventually, Genji allowed Zenyatta's words to mean something to him.
Though Zenyatta eventually moved on from the Shambali, seeking to unite both human and omnic through action rather than dogma, Genji followed close behind. He took Zenyatta's teachings to heart and allowed the words to mend the cracks in his own mind. Meditation soothed his worries and quieted the voices screaming in his head. They pieced together every bit of Genji that he rejected and made him whole again. And though he thanked his master profusely, Zenyatta always reminded him: "It is neither the tool nor the merchant, but the individual with the devices in their grasp that takes the credit. You only need thank your self, Genji."
Now, with the recall in progress, Genji sought first his brother then his master before allowing himself to aid the newly formed Overwatch. He comes no longer a weapon, but the man who wields it.

◈ Shuriken [Primary Fire]
◈ Fan of Blades [Secondary Fire]
◈ Wakizashi [Melee Attack]
◈ Dragon Blade [Ultimate Ability]
⟐ Though specifically trained in the art of ninjitsu, Genji's cybernetics only enhance his skills. Using the vents built into his suit (to keep his body heat in equilibrium during strenuous activity), Genji can propel himself in mid-air after a jump before landing softly to the ground. His armor and cybernetics also allow him to scale virtually any height and structure through carefully designed hooks in his feet - as well as the aid of both cybernetics and training. He is unbelievably fast and often goes through enemy lines undetectable.
◈ Deflect [Ability]
⟐ Unsheathing his wakizashi, Genji can deflect just about any projectile that comes within his field of vision.
◈ Swift Strike [Ability]
⟐ Propelling himself forward in a burst of speed (with the aid of his cybernetics), Genji unsheathes his wakizashi in blinding fast speeds to slice through all opponents that he passes by.
◈ Shuriken [Primary Fire]
⟐ A long ranged attack, Genji arms himself with a trio of shuriken (a supply of ammo built into the bulk of his forearm's armor) and unleashes them subsequently at his targets three at a time.
◈ Fan of Blades [Secondary Fire]
⟐ Genji simply turns his subsequent release of shuriken into a simultaneous one, unleashing them horizontally in fan in front of him.
◈ Wakizashi [Melee Attack]
⟐ Without the butt of a gun to aid him or a giant hammer, Genji instead uses his small blade to close in on his targets within melee range.

⟐ "Only a Shimada can control the dragons." Flashing neon green, Genji releases an exhaust from his cybernetics before a dragon releases itself from the very fabric of his blade. It siphons energy from Genji himself, hungry to taste the blood of his enemies, it imbues Genji's katana with insurmountable power to slice through practically anything and anyone in its path in order to consume them whole. Once sated, the blade releases its glow and the sated dragon evaporates, leaving Genji exhausted and drained of energy for quite some time.
[❖] S T R E N G T H S
Genji excels in breaking through enemy lines, going completely unnoticed through flank points and targeting the enemy's back line. He bypasses those hulking tanks in front and the meaty skirmishers in order to eliminate artillery, glass cannon opponents, and supports that think their range keeps them from harm. Close range, Genji is a nearly unstoppable force simply because he packs a mean punch and is nearly impossible to hit. As well, his disengage can become a nuisance as he disappears back into the shadows and bides his time to strike again. When unleashing the force of his Shimada dragon, Genji can turn from flanker to a complete tidal wave of force as he mows down the opposition.
[❖] W E A K N E S S E S
In spite of his agility, speed, and strength, Genji's fragile and once the attention of more than a few enemy forces turns on him, it's quite easy bring him to his knees. Not even Genji can dodge the hail of bullets from a hoard of enemies. As well, without support and a reasonable distraction, it can be very difficult for Genji to cut off any enemies from the bigger group in order to take them down one-by-one. Use a giant flyswatter to swat the fly - a lot more surface to utilize that way.

"Is this easy mode?
Code Name: D. Va
Real Name: Hana Song
Age: 19
Race: Human
Nationality: Korean
Personality: Given Hana Song's previous exploits before exploding both on the world stage and actually exploding things, it's not surprise to many that there's a bit of a competitive streak to the young girl. For the most part it's all done in the spirit of friendly competition, even if her accomplishments behind the screen and behind the controls have made her a bit on the playful side of arrogant. She doesn't harbor any true feelings of hatred or anger towards those who work with her, but that won't stop her from showing a bit of harmless disrespect. It's ingrained into the culture she grew up with.
Because of her attitude, which still seems to treat the very real threats both to her homeland and the world as nothing more than a game, people tend to treat her as a child, or at least as someone who should not be at the front lines with those who have trained and given blood and body for their respective causes. It always annoys Hana when people call her out on her age or her attitude, quickly turning her playful gamer-level jargon into professional gamer level smack talk. Underestimating her in any of her excelled fields is a quick way to get yourself on her unfollow list.
Though Hana is very skilled on and off the field of battle, at heart she's still quite unfamiliar with the true costs and realities of conflict. Everything is seen as a game, even when she's on the front lines chances are she'll be interacting with her followers while supposedly on assignment. For as serious as she wants her comrades to treat her, she still comes off as a doe-eyed little girl messing with things she really shouldn't. Not everyone who has access to high-tech military technology is strict and serious, and D. Va is about the most atypical soldier one could think of. But then, when the brunt of a military unit is made up of professional gamers what is 'typical' anymore?
Physical Appearance: D. Va herself is not especially tall, with a rather medium height, and despite the typical stereotype her physique is rather slender and athletic, built for agility rather than more demanding tasks. She's a pilot with reflexes, not some heavy lifting front liner. Outside of her bright pink MEKA, she might go unnoticed when out of her Exo Force uniform, which is really more restricting than it looks. Hana adopts a rather low key, low effort style of casual wear, with shorts and t-shirts (because they're comfortable for a marathon sesh) being rather typical. Her headphones give the illusion of Hana having bunny ears, which fits her mascot iconography rather well. She almost always has her headphones on, since they do more than just allow her to hear things at a louder volume.
Hana's hair is a lustrous brown and falls to below her neck, styled in such a way that her bangs never drape in front of her eyes, resting rather comfortably against her forehead. Her eyes are as brown as her hair and on her face, which is slightly pale in hue, are pink 'whiskers' that are definitely not bandages and certainly not colored on but definitely add to her whole 'cute appeal' thing. If the bunny on her uniform and the charm on her phone and pistol didn't do that already.

Brief History: Born in Busan, Hana Song was relatively unheard of for the first half of her life. At a young age she took an interest in games due to the presence of many well known professional gamers throughout the country. Hana took an interest in Starcraft, still a highly popular game among a vocal audience. Hana went under the radar at first as she learned the game and its mechanics. Hana started taking part in the WCS Korea Code S League of professional Starcraft. At the age of sixteen, Hana Song, using the handle D. Va, erupted onto the scene by becoming the number one ranked player in the world, a title she would go on to hold for three years.
With her status as the number one player in the world, D. Va's popularity increased practically overnight. Her streams suddenly had viewers in the hundreds of thousands of viewers with only like a handful posting things other than Kappa and BibleThump; she was being sponsored by companies and doing television commercials in Korea. She even managed to get a starring role in an upcoming Hollywood blockbuster. Fame certainly had its rewards.
Her role on the worldwide stage would only increase.
Korea, suffering from regular attacks from an adapting omnic monstrosity for twenty years, was unable to have its drone MEKAs succesfully defend the nation due to the omnic disabling the drone-control networks. With nowhere left to turn, Korea turned to its nations professional gamers to pilot the once pilot-less drones as only gamers had the reflexes and instincts needed to pilot the MEKA and combat the omnic threat. Naturally, as the highest ranked and most popular gamer in the world, D. Va was drafted right away and, after much explanation, was able to get the government and military to allow the MEKA unit to stream their combat operations. Because to D. Va, live combat was kind of just like a new game. One of those VR things with force feedback and everything.
D. Va is fairly certain that her commanding officers don't like that she's put sponsorship logos on her uniform but she has to keep her sponsors happy. Well, them and the fans, of course. D. Va's ability and willingness to defend her home from threats has caught the attention of those who would rebuild Overwatch. Or from those who would really want an autograph.
Combat Role: Tank
Sub-class: Offensive Tank
Abilities:
Boosters: Using MEKAs thrusters as well as its momentum, D. Va can boost around and cover ground. She can take to the air, turn, and even barrel straight through/into enemies and enemy lines. The thrusters don't last forever and need a quick recharge time, which can be quite risky if it runs out right in the heart of enemy territory.
Defense Matrix: Pulling up a forward-facing targeting array, D. Va can shoot down incoming projectiles provided that they are actual projectiles and not, say, a particle beam or cryo spray. She can hold the Matrix up in front of her for four sustained seconds, but so long as she doesn't burn through them in one burst she can continually bring it up. When she burns through the Matrix fully, she cannot bring it up again for ten seconds.
Call MEKA: When out of her mech, D. Va can summon a fresh one and get back into the fray.
Fusion Cannon: D. Va's mech comes equipped with twin fusion cannons that barrel down on enemies with its continuous rapid fire. At a range her bullets drop off and are less effective but up close they tear through those caught in its path. Though the cannons don't need to reload, she cannot move quickly when firing nor can she boost or use her defense matrix while firing.
Light Gun: When outside of her mech, D. Va can use her sidearm, a rapid firing pistol, to keep herself in the middle of the fight. Though she sacrifices the robot protection, she can fire faster and is potentially more lethal while being more susceptible herself.
Self Destruct D. Va sets her mech's reactor to explode as she ejects out of it. The reactor will explode after three seconds and thanks to a new upgrade to military hardware, the explosion no longer harms her. When combined with thrusters, she can use the exploding mech like a very fast, very mobile bomb. Nerf this? Try a buff, scrubs.
Strengths: While she might lack the stopping power of more typical tank-y sorts, such as that grandpa in the body armor, D. Va more than makes up for with pure pressure and presence. With her mobility and her smart use of Defense Matrix, D. Va can really scramble an enemy's defensive lines. In other words, the giant pink mech can thoroughly distract people while the rest of the team closes in and brings the hurt. While not as good at flanking as, well, flankers, D. Va can get real up close to those who hide behind placed weapons, like turrets, and take them out and get away relatively unharmed. Leave gramps to protect the children, she's going to cause chaos up close. And then leave.
Weaknesses: A giant robot means a giant target, even more so than usual. Though her mech has a hefty amount of armor protecting it, it cannot handle a constant stream of rapid fire or heavy ordinance, and if she's left defenseless then it's good-bye robot. Outside of the mech, D. Va has just her wits and her pistol. WHile she can still perform, she has no real way to defend herself when outside of the robot at which point she is better off falling back, even if that means less excitement for her viewers.
The true enemy of humanity is disorder.
Code Name: Symmetra
Real Name: Satya Vaswani
Age: 28
Race: Human
Nationality: Indian
Personality: To some, Symmetra seems a bit on the wrong side of things, but those sorts lack the far thinking and understanding that a woman like Satya Vaswani possesses. Symmetra is obsessed with order, believing wholly that order is the key for a perfect society, which is what the world could use now in the wake of the Omnic Crisis. Though her beliefs are strong and her defense of these beliefs put her on the edge of fanaticism, Symmetra truly does wish to make the world a better place for people, particularly the innocent and the young. With her belief, however, comes doubts that her company has the same philosophy as she does.
Due to her belief in order, Symmetra hates this naive idea of 'freedom' and those that strive for it. She knows, she believes that this notion of true freedom that certain people spout and sing about is nothing more than an illusion and a pipe dream; something that would do far more harm to the world than good. Symmetra does not understand why people, when given the option, would choose to live in squalor just because it is their home. Why can't people understand how much good order and Vishkar can do for the world?
Satya has a certain preoccupation for perfection, for symmetry, and is visibly bothered when people, for example, hang up a painting crookedly. She's not a fan of crowds, of all the chaos and the disorder they bring, and she always likes to plan thinks to an almost meticulous detail. Being 'careless' is how people make mistakes and how people die. Satya Vaswani is striving for a better world, a world in perfect order, and people will understand eventually. They have to.
Physical Appearance: A woman of unremarkable height, Symmetra has a rather unassuming presence, save the architect arm that she carries on the job, of course. Her uniform at Vishkar is a formal, stark white with absolutely no wrinkles (she would not stand for one, of course). When working as Symmetra she adopts a more loose fitting tunic, a visor, and a photon projector that aid in her constructs. Her hair is a deep black and either left to flow behind her (when Symmetra) or tied up in more formal styles (when Satya of Vishkar). She also is rather fond of the color blue, as she paints her nails the color.
Affiliations: Vishkar Corporation
Brief History: Satya Vaswani was born in Hyderabad, India in conditions that were hardly ideal for anyone, let alone a child. As a youth she shied away from others, spending many of her days alone; often she was asked where she "fell on the spectrum" which often bothered her, only serving to further drive her away from others. From crowds. From disorder.
After the Omnic Crisis, the Vishkar Corporation based in southern India began aiding the broken world with means of supplying homes for those left homeless after the Crisis. They accomplished this through a technology known as 'hard light', creating physical objects with nothing more than a light source. Those with proper training could become 'architects', people that used hard light to create cities in the blink of an eye. Architects were not easy to come by and Vishkar devoted resources to training those with the potential to become architects.
Satya Vaswani was one of those potentials and was taken from poverty and placed into Vishkar's Architect Academy, away from home - where she would not be allowed to return to - and more alone than ever. As such, Satya dealt with her isolation by pouring herself into her studies. Satya became one of the top students of her class thanks to how she approached her building; while her peers used the more rigid, mechanical methods, Satya used motions from a dance native to her home. As she became a full fledged architect in the Vishkar built city Utopaea, Vishkar saw a better use for Satya's talents.
Giving her the moniker 'Symmetra', Satya was sent on clandestine operations throughout the world, ostensibly to spread Vishkar's influence and uphold their interests. One of these operations was to secure a development deal in Rio de Janeiro, promising the residents of a favela that Vishkar would make their lives better. Vishkar's deal was not granted and Symmetra was tasked with finding something to ensure that Vishkar would get the deal. When she could not, due to her target being too clean legally, her Vishkar handler resorted to more extreme measures. Symmetra, who was not fond of killing, looked on in horror as the flames roared through the favela. Vishkar got the deal. Vishkar rebuilt the slums. But at what cost, Satya wondered. At what cost. Vishkar instilled order in Rio in their usual manner: curfews, punishing lawless behavior harshly, and using the citizens as a labor force. Things were in order.
Still, Satya believes that her actions are for the good of humanity as a whole, but doubt is constantly in the back of her mind.
Combat Role: Support
Sub-class: Builder
Abilities:
Proton Shield: While theoretically the applications for her hard light tech are endless, Symmetra uses it in a more traditional way: protection. She surrounds others with a hard-light shield that protects them from harm and regenerates should it go down. In a pinch, it can mean the difference between life and death.
Sentry Turret: Again, while the applications of hardlight have so many possibilities, Symmetra goes for something practical. She can place turrets onto any flat, solid surface in the blink of an eye. Though her turrets are rather fragile, they instantly fire upon the first person to cross their paths, slowing them and doing them harm. Sustained fire from all of her placed turrets is one way to have a bad day. Or she can be more strategic about it and use her turrets to protect the back line and to watch for those who decide to get a bit too close.
Photon Projector: Symmetra's side arm projects a short range beam that homes in on those who get close. As it remains connected it increases in damage, to the point where a fully charged projection can practically melt even the hardiest of hardened soldiers.
Secondary Fire: The photon projector can also shoot a ball of pure energy that, while slow moving, is particularly harmful.
Teleporter: Symmetra, using her architecture abilities, creates a device that allows people to pass through space and arrive elsewhere. Common tongues call this a teleporter. It allows for quick movement around a battlefield or even a quick retreat if need be. It can only teleport so many people before it goes offline, but she can potentially build as many as needed when she can.
Strengths: An unorthodox support, Symmetra doesn't heal her team in the traditional manner. She can extend their life...provided they are smart enough to not waste her shields, and she can ensure that they are never out of the fray for long. Her turrets can provide intel on enemies attempting to flank or come up the blind side, effectively giving her eyes in the back of her head. When charged, her photon projector can catch unprepared, unexpecting sorts off guard.
Weaknesses: With a limited number of turrets and their fragile state, someone that can push through her defensive line can then turn around and destroy it. Since her projector requires a close proximity, she's more susceptible to being harmed thanks to the slow attack speed. Someone who can out maneuver her will always have the upper hand, just the same someone who has the aerial advantage over her AND her turrets/teleporter spell disaster for Satya.
Except bulkier and more futuristic
Code Name:
(Captain) Nemo
Real Name:
Captain Rahul Nemorajan
Age:
41
Race:
Human
Nationality:
Indian
Personality:
A man of immense courage, Rahul Nemorajan is devoted to helping his friends, teammates, and generally those suffering from the hands of oppressors. As such he’s rarely one to back down from a fight. He is a terrific leader proven by his ability to captain a crew as large as that of the Nautilus, with him being known to be able to inspire those working for him. Also, though he is short-tempered, he rarely expresses his anger, not letting his emotions control him. Rahul is extremely determined in everything he does, striving to improve both his body and mind constantly. As a result, he regularly partakes in strenuous physical exercise, as well as spending his spare time reading literature.
Physical Appearance:
A tall, powerful man with a commanding presence, Rahul has a lean yet muscular figure. Atop his head is a mass of curled charcoal hair, reaching just above his shoulders. His chin is warmed by a rugged mess of a beard, with its colour mirroring the rest of his hair, save for small patches of grey. This gives himself the appearance of a man shaped by the sea, shown as well through his rough face and his scarred body. His eyes however tell a different story, reflecting not the life an old grouchy captain, instead holding in a sense of adventure and wisdom.
Affiliations:
The Indian Navy, Overwatch, The Nautilus
Brief History:
It was his parent’s efforts during the original Omnic Crisis that initially inspired Rahul to join the Indian Navy. Due to both of his parents being on active duty during his birth, he ended up spending the first few of his formative years on the water, which allowed him to develop a love for the sea. This love continued even when he returned to India, with him insisting on going out fishing in the family boat whenever he could. As such, he signed up with the Navy as soon as he could. Many years later, just after reaching the rank of Captain, his efforts reached the ears of Overwatch, and they were impressed.
It was on his very first day alongside the peacekeeping force that he met the gorilla that would become one of his oldest friends. With Winston having just finished reading Verne’s novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea", upon hearing Rahul’s name, he instantly pointed out their similarities, jokingly referring to the man as Captain Nemo. Intrigued, he too read the novel over the next few days and promptly became inspired, just like when he wished to join the Navy all those years ago. The nickname soon stuck, with it becoming his moniker once he became a field agent.
Nemo and Winston grew close over the years, bonding over both their love for literature and their love for science. It was through this that they decided to begin work on a new mobile headquarters for Overwatch; inspired by ship owned by the original Captain Nemo, it would be a vast vessel with submarine capabilities. The project was huge, taking a couple of years before the construction itself even started. Unfortunately once the ship neared completion, things weren’t looking good for Overwatch. The group came under investigation from the UN, prompting the two to put work on hold until things cleared out.
Things never did, with Overwatch disbanding and the Petras Act deeming any Overwatch activity illegal, and liable to prosecution. Nevertheless, Rahul knew he could just give up. Calling in a series of old associates he had met during his time on the team, he resumed construction of the ship, determined to continue fighting the good fight. Upon completion, he hired a crew, amassing people from all around the globe. Christening the ship the Nautilus, his life began anew.
His new life was one of adventure and exploration, with Captain Nemo spending his time as captain of the Nautilus exploring the deepest depths of oceans, stopping illegal fishing vessels, as well as even assisting in the Second Omnic Crisis. His efforts against those damaging the oceans earn Nemo quite a reputation amongst the surface world, with many deeming him a hero, while others accuse him of breaking maritime law through his acts of sinking illegal vessels.
When the call came from his old friend, Nemo gladly answered it, deciding that now would be the perfect chance to test the full capabilities of his new enhanced diving suit.

Combat Role:
Tank
Sub-class: (Builder, Flanker, Sniper, Healer, Offensive Tank, Defensive Tank)
Defensive Tank
Abilities:
Plasma Jets: Nemo activates his thrusters, launching himself forwards into the air a couple of metres. He stuns nearby enemies upon landing for 0.5 seconds. Jets had previously been used in order to navigate underwater.
Hook, Line, Sinker: Nemo equips a chain to the next harpoon he fires. If the harpoon hits an enemy, it will pull that enemy back to Nemo, as well as temporarily stunning them for a brief period of time.
Harpoon Gun (Primary Fire) Slow firing, but extremely powerful, Nemo can only fire a single harpoon before reloading. The harpoon has a serious knock-back, with it temporarily pinning enemies to terrain if they are close to it.
Excavator Drill (Secondary Fire):Nemo's excavator drill activates, severely damaging any enemies directly in front of him.
Pressures of a Captain (Ultimate): Nemo stomps his foot onto the ground, deploying a small magnetic-field that simulates deep sea pressure. The field is in the shape of a sphere centered around Nemo, which moves with him, lasting 8 seconds. Within the magnetic-field, movement speed is slowed drastically, with enemy heroes being unable to jump or generally use any movement abilities.

Strengths:
While one of his greatest strengths would probably be aquatic combat, Nemo is also great tactician and leader. He has various means of pinning down enemies, using both his various harpoons (either pinning opponents to walls or pulling them towards him), as well as his magnetic-field, which allows for him to more easily land hits on enemies, stop them from attacking, or merely scatter them.
Weaknesses:
Due to the bulky nature of the suit, his movement speed is quite slow, meaning that fast moving targets can easily evade him on attack him from the rear. As such, without the stunning capabilities of both his harpoon and magnetic-field, he wouldn't be able to easily hit or stop his enemies.

Potentially wrong
Code Name: Smoke
Real Name: Alexander Wright
Age: 36
Race: Human
Nationality: Canadian
Personality: A mixture of cold hearted monster and some sort of huggable plush toy with silly voice lines added into the stuffing, Alex comes across as unprofessional and unreliable until you see the freak in the thick of it. Cunning and ruthless he is driven by a loneliness he chooses not to express. Surrounded by heroes and villains, he strives to be himself instead of the persona he is often labeled with.
A loner. A stalker. Obsessed with Jams and Jellies. Faceless monster. Face of a monster. Alex couldn't give a shit what some moron thinks of him on or off the field of combat. Second thoughts, he believes, will get you killed every time.
When the moment to strike comes you can bet he'll go for gold.
Physical Appearance: Alexander stands at 5'6'', limber and slim of build, and coated head to toe in clothing. Not a single inch of flesh can be seen beneath his thick clothes and face mask. The mask itself is similar to the recon visor of one infamous talon sniper, but does not have nearly the same quality to its design. Only at close to 5 feet can he see the heat signatures of friend and foe which, to his thinking, is a preferred when in the thick of his smog.
His gloves are a highly resistant type of plastic. Similar slabs of thick plastic are spread evenly on key points of his chest, arms, shoulders, back, things, and legs. A shot to the knee will incapacitate him, as it is unprotected, but a bullet to the chest is just a painful annoyance.
His weapons of choice are smoke canisters, a smoke maker on his back (vents out of his coat rapidly) and his sword and pistol.
Comes with silencer and spare cartridge of explosive rounds
Affiliations: None (Think Roadhog / Junkrat)
Brief History: Born and raised in the yukon territories there wasn't a whole lot to say. Life was simple, people were friendly, and the bugs were big. Boys grew up to be men and girls grew up to be women. What that meant exactly you couldn't say but it was enough to know that the kids grew up with the skills to succeed.
Alexander was born to a retired military officer and a former mistress of espionage who dropped off the map to raise their child in peace. Alex was brought up simple and taught simple. But the war continues even if you leave it, and Alex watched it all. His parents taught him a great deal of their lives, choosing not to keep it a secret from their son, and taught him a great deal of their knowledge ranging from how to shoot a gun to how to hide in the shadows.
On his 18th birthday Alex enrolled in the military. At 25 he came a mercenary. At 28 he was a spy overseas for Talon. At 29 he was declared dead via friendly fire. Two weeks later he was back in the field as a mercenary with nobody the wiser. Preferring not to be too talkative, Alex was considered a loner and subsequently forgotten. At the age of 36 he remains a mercenary of sorts and fights with the remnants of the former Overwatch to prevent more disasters as a backline infiltrator. Equipped with new experimental tech, and a thirst for combat, he returns to the relative spotlight to continue the family tradition.
Combat Role: (Offense, Defense, Tank, Support)
Sub-class: (Builder, Flanker, Sniper, Healer, Offensive Tank, Defensive Tank)
Abilities:
Ability 1: Tactical camouflage - Smoke uses a visual disruption field on his belt to obscure his form at great distances but is less effective when approaching another person.
Ability 2: Smokescreen - Smoke releases a stream of thick smoke as he moves, creating a large screen that further obscures the movements of anyone caught in it.
Ability 3: Explosive rounds - Changes the bullets in his sidearm from silent precise shots to exploding rounds
Primary Fire: Rapier slash and stab
Secondary Fire: Silenced pistol
Passive: Nimble fighter - Can quickly scale walls
Ultimate: Calamity - Smoke brings his tactical camouflage belt and smokescreen to peak performance levels, rendering him all but invisible while spewing out thick black smoke, preventing enemies from seeing out of the screen. Enemies caught in the cloud are visible to Smoke.
Strengths: Smoke excels at flanking the enemy team thanks to tactical camouflage, skirting the fight before coming up from behind with his silenced pistol, taking down primary targets or forcing them to flee until he reveals himself. In Mid ranged combat and close combat, Alexander makes use of his explosive shots and his saber to quickly finish off a foe before retreating back to a safe distance to attack again.
Weaknesses: Alexander lacks greatly in defending positions for long, relying on his camouflage and smoke to see him out of the area. If forced to defend a point for too long he will be a sitting duck for a coordinated attack. Despite smokescreens obvious advantage of limiting sight, it does not hide him from widowmakers infra-red sight or opponents like Hanzo who mark targets easily at a distance. Once caught in the open Alexander is an easy target, lacking any real defensive moves.

Though he was not a part of the MEKA force, hs helped defend and restore the damage as a part of the military. However, when a group of civilians were held hostage, he rescued them bravely with his friendlies, also some help from the MEKA, and was recruited to Overwatch after few more heroic performances, along with some of his friends he met in the military. During his Overwatch duty, him and a small squad was searching a warehouse, which turned out to be an illegal laboratory researching a chemical weapon. The weapon was released, and the area was put under quarantine. Him and a few others survived, though they were injured badly. Sangho stayed resting until Overwatch was disbanded. When it happened, him, and a few Overwatch agents gathered up, faked their deaths with each others' help, and started a mercenary team called 'Hog Squad' with their fake identities. They secretly tried to find more details about the downfall of Overwatch, but half the members were assassinated by Talon during a hostage rescue. During his days in Hog Squad, Sangho utilized special kind of gas in combat, giving him the nickname 'Quarantine 17'.

It was a normal life for Sang ho, with his mother and father both working as a teacher. He was hoping for a normal life and a normal death, until the Omnics struck his country. Though he was not a part of the MEKA force, hs helped defend and restore the damage as a part of the military. However, when a group of civilians were held hostage, he rescued them bravely with his friendlies, also some help from the MEKA, and was recruited to Overwatch after few more heroic performances, along with some of his friends he met in the military. During his Overwatch duty, him and a small squad was searching a warehouse, which turned out to be an illegal laboratory researching a chemical weapon. The weapon was released, and the area was put under quarantine. Him and a few others survived, though they were injured badly. Sangho stayed resting until Overwatch was disbanded. When it happened, him, and a few Overwatch agents gathered up, faked their deaths with each others' help, and started a mercenary team called 'Hog Squad' with their fake identities. They secretly tried to find more details about the downfall of Overwatch, but half the members were assassinated by Talon during a hostage rescue. During his days in Hog Squad, Sangho utilized special kind of gas in combat, giving him the nickname 'Quarantine 17'. When he heard the news of Overwatch rebuilding from a friend, he set off to see who gathered for it, and wether he should join it.
