@Knight of Doom She looks great! Just two things :) One, on the personality section and the bio, the first line is still the note I wrote in the CS explaining what to do there, so you can get rid of those. And then for her ultimate, could you explain how she turns invisible? Like some sort of gadget she has, like a necklace or bracelet that turns her invisible? After you fix those, she's accepted :D

In-Depth Appearance
Webster is handsome, of that much he is certain. He stands at about 6'1, and is quite slim, with most of his body being made up of lean muscle. His skin is a light cream color, and despite all of his best attempts, he doesn't tan. While most of the time he keeps his face clean shaven, it isn't uncommon to see him with a bit of stubble. His chocolate brown hair is kept swept out of his crystal blue eyes and above his forehead on most days. When going about his everyday life, Webster prefers to wear an old bomber jacket that once belonged to his father, and a tee shirt, along with tight fitting pants, and combat boots, as well as aviators on his head.. Out in the field, his gear is relatively the same. His jacket is replaced with an armored one, and on his right arm he wears his teleportation gauntlet

Personality
Webster is a snarky, annoying son of a bitch with a heart of gold and an immense intelligence. He's constantly cracking jokes or making sarcastic remarks, but deep down he's a truly good person, despite some of his past actions. A very friendly young man, he has no issue talking to others, or sharing details about his life, as long as said details don't involve his mother. He has a natural distrust of authority, and unless he respects the person giving him orders, he's likely to go off script. He believes that loyalty and courage are the most important traits a person can have, and someone who possesses them will easily gain his respect. He's also incredibly smart, with a genius level intellect.
Despite the all the good, Webster has a bit of a dark side. He's extremely arrogant, stemming from generally being one of the smartest people in the room at all times. His moral compass is also slightly skewed, and it's not uncommon that he'd sacrifice morality for what needs to be done. He understands sacrifice and is always willing to make them, even if they don't affect him. Some might call him selfish, and in a way, he is, a result of being on his own for much of his life.
{"Shortcut reporting for duty!"}
Background
Webster's story begins with the meeting of two government agents in the year 2014. Lucy Harris and Lucas Wilson were both working for the military, Lucy as an engineer and Lucas as a pilot. The two were young and in love, so in love that they were married not long after meeting. A year later, they had Webster, but both refused to let their careers limit their interaction with their son.
Webster's childhood was relatively normal for the beginning. His parents were kind and caring, and his dad liked to take him on flights around the air force base, "secret missions" he'd call them. His mother was the one who encouraged his mental abilities, recognizing his high level IQ from a young age. She'd often explain to him the inventions she was working on as she put him to sleep. When the war broke out, life got harder. His mother was often working long days in a lab, being one of the military's most gifted engineers, and his father was always in danger, flying fighter planes in enemy territory. With the foundation of the Sentinel Program, both of his parents were recruited, Lucy as head scientist, and Lucas as a field operative, under the code name Dogfight.
His life changed for good when his father was killed on a mission, two months before the end of the war. He and his mother spent the rest of the war together. Only twelve years old, he understood too much of what was going on, and it was the hardest time in his life. After the disbanding of the Sentinel Program, one of the last pieces he had of his father, he began to harbor a resentment towards authority, and this distrust would ultimately result in one of the biggest decisions of his life.
When he was only seventeen, he and his mother were alone in the house when it was attacked. One man, moving faster than he thought possible came in, and before he could even do anything, his mother was dead. Webster was spared, and too frightened to think, he grabbed his mother's lates invention from her lab. The teleportation gauntlet. He packed a bag as quickly as he could and disappeared, going off the grid. His distrust of the government kept him from going to them for help, and besides, he was nearly an adult.
The next seven years of his life were spent as a hired thief. His gauntlet gave him access to places most people couldn't even dream of getting into, and he was exceptionally good at his job. He spent much of this time as a wanted criminal, up until a week ago. That was when a woman approached him and told him about the reformation of the Sentinel Program, an opportunity he quickly snatched up. The chance to be a Sentinel just like his parents filled him with excitement, and outweighed his resentment of authority.
Place of Origin
San Francisco, California
Family
Lucy Wilson - Deceased - Webster's mother, and the inventor of his gauntlet. She was killed by a man who's identity Webster has yet to discover.
Lucas Wilson - Deceased - Webster's father, and the former Sentinel known as Dogfight. He was killed two months before the end of the war, on a mission in Beijing.
Abilities and Gadgets
Teleportation Gauntlet - A gauntlet that Webster wears on his right arm, it is connected to his brain, specifically his optic nerves, so that anywhere he can see, he can teleport to. The gauntlet is highly durable, but can be taken out by a direct electrical shock. Webster needs only to glance once at the place he wants to go to teleport there, but he must know the path there. For instance, he couldn't see a mountain in the distance and just teleport there, he needs to be able to see the path.
Scanning Aviators - The aviators that Webster always wears are an invention of his own. They can scan hostiles for weapons, and will alert him to a weapons presence. He also uses them to give him a rear view via reflection so that he can teleport backwards.
Weapons
Shock Pistols - Webster uses two weapons that he invented himself. The pistols send a charge of electricity into a bullet on it's way out, making the bullet considerably more dangerous.
Extra
My favorite character is Tracer.

In-Depth Appearance
Hollie has long blonde hair, that falls down to the middle of her back. She has dark blue eyes, intelligent eyes, and her mouth is always turned up in a grin, a side effect of her chipper personality. Her skin is a cream color, rather pale considering that she spends most of her time inside. Most of the time she wears hoodies and skinny jeans, comfort clothes, though on the rare occasions that she goes into the field, she's outfitted with a skin tight bulletproof suit, which allows her to hack into anything with a processor.

Personality
Hollie is quite the bubbly character, incredibly chipper and kind. She's a social butterfly and has no trouble making friends. She's also incredibly intelligent, although her ramblings might make her seem a bit ditzy at times. She's a classic romantic, and believes in tales of heroes and saving the world, which is one of the main reasons she joined the Sentinels. Her world view may be slightly skewed, and she definitely is one to see the good in everyone.
{"At least give me a challenge"}
Origins
Background
Hollie Hills entered the world on a sunny Sunday, which is rather fitting considering her personality. While her mother died giving birth to her, and her father wanted nothing to do with her, she was taken in by her uncle, Archer O'Connor, the former Sentinel known as Archangel. Archer would go on to act as one of the best father figures a girl could have, and she adores the man.
During her teen years, her high level IQ led her into the world of programming and hacking, and she became quite skilled, and the name Trojan started getting passed around in various circles. Archer would go on to shut her operation down, until only a few months ago, when he came to her, asking for her help. The Sentinels were joining together again, and he wanted her on the team. While she refused to be an active field agent, she figured that she could operate from HQ, hacking and such, with occasional excursions into the field, if absolutely necessary.
Place of Origin
Hollywood, California
Family
Archer O'Connor - Her adoptive father and the only family she's ever known, he is the one who lobbied for the return of the Sentinels.
Abilities
Hacker's Touch - When in her suit, Hollie can touch anything with a processor and instantly have her consciousness transported into the mainframe, allowing her to find sensitive information. This comes with it's own set of dangers, as the world inside a computer is nowhere near safe, and can result in her falling into a coma, or dying if her consciousness is destoryed.
Weapons
Hollie doesn't normally use weapons, but she has a standard issue pistol for when she goes out in the field.
The year, is 2022. Mankind has made leaps and bounds in the areas of technology and medicine, and most countries have experienced a period of great wealth. But all good things must come to an end. The Emperors Entente, an alliance between Russia, China, and North Korea, all countries which had found themselves under dictatorial rule, is formed, and together, they begin to encroach on the borders of other sovereign nations, taking land. Other countries couldn't sit back and watch this happened. And so came the formation of the Paladin Coalition, led by the US, the UK, Australia, France, and Germany, the Coalition fought valiantly against the imperialistic mindset of their enemies.
But valiance does not win a war, and the Paladins would learn that. By the beginning 2024, they were losing, and the situation looked bleak. Citizens were calling for the usage of nuclear weapons, but as a last resort, the Sentinels were formed. The Sentinel Program, a group of gifted individuals from all walks of life who were called to the most dangerous tasks, the most brutal missions. They were a special ops team who saw the most success of any unit during the war. They became celebrities, heroes. And without them, the war would have been lost. By 2026, the Paladins had managed to turn the war in their favor, thanks to the Sentinels, and by November of that year, the Emeperors Entente had surrendered. The war was won, and democracies were instated in the countries that had made up the Entente.
Without any need for the Sentinels, the group was disbanded, sent on their way. While they were heralded as heroes, featured in museums and documentaries, they were discarded, and soon the public lost interest. Many found work as mercenaries or assassins, and some retired peacefully. The world had no need of heroes anymore.
The end of the war brought a time of peace and prosperity. Technology once again began to flourish, and the creation of sentient machinery, Mechs, was a huge step forward. Mechs became common members of society, working and socializing with humans like never before, although this brought along it's own social problems. But past the surface, darkness still lurked.
In the defeated countries, people wanted revenge. Many of the citizens of the Emperor's Entente had supported the war, and now they were living in relative squalor. They wanted revenge, to see their people on top of the world, rather than taking the scraps from everyone else. These sentiments bred extremism in each of the defeated countries, and terrorist groups arose, groups who each wanted to put their country's people on top. Which brings us to the present.
The year is now 2039, thirteen years since the end of the war. The aforementioned terrorist groups have gained quite the foothold in the world, and their activities make the evening news nearly every day. The big three of these groups, the Shadow Cabal, the Talons, and the United Brothers, have been meeting, discussing the formation of one large group, made out of their smaller ones. Recently, an attack was made on the British royal family by the Talons, and the British government is calling for action. The world needs heroes. And so the world is going to get some. The UN has decided to reenact the Sentinel Program, calling in people from all across the globe to become part of it. From former Sentinels to former criminals, they are in desperate of aid in the fight against those who would see the world plunged into chaos. The Sentinels have been called to arms.
Have Fun - Please, I want this to be fun for all involved, so just chill out and have fun. If something is inhibiting that goal, let me or Blue know, and I can try and fix it.
Respect - Respect each other, as well as the rules. As the GM, what I say goes, and Blue as the Co-GM holds similar power. If one of us says something isn't right, then it isn't.
Drama - Keep it in the IC. IC drama is encouraged. These are characters from all walks of life, of course they won't get along. But don't let that drama bleed into the OOC. If there is an issue, bring it to me, don't fight among yourselves.
Posting - I try not to be too insane about posting rules, but I do expect about two paragraphs of non-dialogue in each post. I think that's reasonable and if you think otherwise, then please bring it to my attention. Also, I would like people to post at least twice a week, preferably more but I understand people get busy. If you'll be unable to post for a few days, just let me or Blue know. Last but not least, make sure two people have posted before posting again.
Characters - I want to see interesting characters, with flaws and whatnot. They shouldn't be perfect, in fact far from it, and they definitely shouldn't be overpowered and indestructible. I expect you to put effort into making a character, and if you need any help, ask me or Blue.
PG-16 - This will be a pretty intense RP, and there'll probably be some violence. Try to keep it to minimal gore. I don't want to puke when I'm reading about how you're character killed a thug. That's unnecessary. As for romance, when clothes start coming off, fade to black or take it to the PMs.
Miscellaneous - All the common rules still apply. No godmodding etc etc. In the extra section, put down your favorite Overwatch character, so I know you read the rules.
