Well, I have posted. And to be honest, I am still deciding if I should take Junkrat as my second character or not.

Roadhog was distracted by the fluffy creature’s despair and saw seven people standing including… Jamison. His eyes widen in surprise and only to realize that he had been captured and turned into one of them. The silence coming from the usual loud Junker was a clear sign that something was wrong with him. Then, he opened his eyes and revealed them to be glowing red like the small child. Roadhog didn’t want to believe it, but he was gone. If it wasn’t for that mask, then people would have noticed that the fat pig man was clearly mourning. He haven’t felt like this since… the explosion. The explosion that turned the entire Outback into an irradiated hellhole for the millions that the Australian government left behind.

Mako Rutledge was a strong leader that planned on restoring the Outback back from the machines. It meant the destruction of the Omnium and dozens of dead omnics. Of course, he and the others didn’t expect things to go south that quickly. After the explosion, Rutledge was left to die in the ruins of the Omnum by his former comrades. It was when that he became Roadhog and left Rutledge behind in the ruins of the past. From that day forward, Roadhog was a cold-hearted bastard that lacked humanity and compassion for others. His hands were covered in blood. His dreams reminded him of the deaths that he made. Roadhog was surviving his personal hell every single day.

Then, he met Junkrat. The walking target that everyone in the Outback was trying to kill because he found an Omnium fusion core. It was the most valuable thing that someone could find in the world. Originally, Roadhog was supposed to capture Junkrat and give him to the Queen until she betrayed him for money. And ever since that betrayal, Roadhog was Junkrat’s bodyguard. He was annoying and an idiot, but Roadhog stood by his side until… all of this happened.

Roadhog looked at the unemotional Junkrat and realized that this was another reminder of the past. He caused millions to suffer painful lives and deaths in the Outback. Now, he had lost his only friend. It was payback for causing the explosion and sending millions to live disturbed lives until their painful deaths. That was when he felt the sting of tears in her eyes that nobody realized besides him. The white entity said how they will not attack unless provoked. But, if someone within the group embraced the “light,” then they will be in paradise with their friends and families. Roadhog knew that it was a lie. Paradise wasn’t awaiting him. Hell was.

He took a single step towards Junkrat and quietly whispered, “Goodbye… friend.”

Then, Roadhog turned towards the white entity and fired several shots from his shotgun. He had made up his mind. He was going to fight even if it meant his friend’s death.

Suddenly, Junkrat awakened with a roaring laugh that caught Roadhog off guard. Before he could even react, Junkrat already fired several rounds from his grenade launcher and all of them hit Roadhog. Then, he placed his ironic concussion mine below Roadhog and detonated it. It sent Roadhog flying backwards to the ground and realized that he was no match. So, he got up from the ground and started running away while firing back. Junkrat gave chase while avoiding the rest of the group.

Roadhog looked at the hooded man and laughed at his threat. He was easily able to take a few people down before being put down. He wasn’t sure about the others, but it won’t be different than fighting Overwatch’s strange members like their talking monkey. But, the girl from earlier approached him with answers. And he just listened. For the most part, things made sense, but there were still more answers that the hooded man needed to answer. Roadhog didn’t care if he had to fight them. He was going to make sure that the hooded man answered since it seemed like he knew about this mess.

But nobody was prepared for what was coming. Some sort of airship appeared out of nowhere that created a massive wave of air. Roadhog immediately ran for cover as he was nearly taken away by the winds. Someone pointed out that they saw a child in the airship while Roadhog left cover. Then, a giant version of the talking lizard landed in front of the bridge. It looked like it wanted a fight. However, it seemed like the cowboy managed to wake up the unconscious man. He got his shotgun and hook ready for the incoming battle. Then, he looked at the group and saw that the girl was dancing while the cowboy was trying to distract the giant monster. Roadhog turned towards the group and saw a child with the hat with them.

For some reason, she looked like she had no color besides her glowing red eyes. But he knew that she was an enemy. He just felt it in his huge gut. Roadhog pointed at the child and said in a cold demanding tone, “Kill her now.”

we ourselves become these technologies"}

Budapest was the first Central European city to make human augmentation illegal to buy while Hungary was the third country to ban and segregate augmented people. As the result, Budapest and several Hungarian cities introduced a district only for people with augmentations regardless of status. This idea was adopted into several Central and Eastern Europeans countries, while pro-augmented groups expressed their concerns. Two years after the introduction of the segregated districts, the remaining European Union shared reports about abuses within Budapest’s district to the United Nations. They sent a UN investigator to find out the truth behind the reports in the district with their informant, Fábián Alexandra.

Alexandra was a former augmented model for Vogue before the Hungarian government forced her to live in the district and quit her job. She was the district’s unofficial spokesperson for thousands of augmented people, and it got the United Nation’s attention. The United Nations believed that she had information regarding the mistreatment of augmented people in these districts by the authorities and citizens with anti-augmented views. If the information was accurate, then the United Nations would have enough evidence to declare the districts and possibility the anti-augmentation law as a human rights violation. Of course, they would have needed the evidence.

The United Nations made sure that their investigator didn’t have any problems entering Budapest’s augmented district. And informed them that Alexandra was waiting at a local café called Mehetnék (it meant Wanderlust in English). It used to be a popular place for tourists before the district forced the original owners to sell their café to the government. Now, it was being run by the government. It wasn’t the ideal place to meet, but it seemed less suspicious than meeting at a park. Plus, they had to go to Alexandra’s place to retrieve the file of complaints and reports.

Alexandra was drinking her coffee while waiting for the United Nation’s investigator to show up.

Since the twentieth century, mankind has always made advancements in technology of medicine and
the television to the internet and the nuclear bomb. In 1964, the great minds of our planet met up in
Paris to discuss the possibility of human augmentation. Plastic surgery and implants were becoming more
common as the century was ending. The conference discussed the ethical and moral quandaries of human
augmentation only being made available to wealthy, developed countries. It also talked about the “need”
and “want” in human augmentation, and the potential for human augmentation over the next century. After
the discussions, The Code of Ethics on Human Augmentation was shown to the world.

The world didn't take it seriously since it created standards for a form of technology that is still in
its infancy. And soon after, world leaders at the time were too forced on the second major period of
globalization and scientist began their shift towards global warming. The world soon forgot about the
code until the year 2025. The Digital Revolution was still going strong as holograms are becoming
popular as a form of entertainment. The Middle East finally saw peace for the first time in decades
with the end of the civil war and the defeat of ISIL; however, terrorist attacks are on a rise. NATO
Russian relations are more strained than ever because of the annexation and puppet of Ukraine. The gap
between rich and poor nations got worse with third world countries being affected the most. And the
European Union was on the verge of collage as three more countries left.

However, the world has advanced technologically and more countries are adopting liberal social politics
like same-sex marriage. And suddenly, augmentation started to become popular in the
world. It started with elf ears and then advanced into prosthesis. And the world witnessed cyberware
becoming a fashion statement overnight. Transhumanism starts to become popular with the youth. Russia,
along with several Central and Eastern European countries, made all of them illegal, citing that it was
going against human nature. The augmented citizens are facing discrimination and brutality from both
citizens and police every single day while living in separated districts. At the moment, several
European countries are requesting for a United Nations investigation into the law and whether they are
violating human rights or not.
