Welcome to Overwatch! (OOC/Open)

Welcome to Overwatch


IC: Cheers, luv
OP: Saharan Outposts
Co-Ops:


The year is 2076, and the world is in need of heroes more than ever. All around the world, organizations such as Talon have been wrecking havoc on the populace. In other areas, acts of brutality against Omnics continue to become more and more common. The Omnics look for people to help them, and all they get is more beatings and murders. Bandits and criminals run rampant on an international scale, and Russia is experiencing another Omnic Crisis, like the world had done years before. If this took place only years earlier, the world would have the help of the international peace keeping force known as Overwatch, the peacekeeping force that formed in the midst of the old Omnic crisis. However, the days of Overwatch, and its black ops branch, Blackwatch, were at an end. The world was void of heroes, and full of villains.

Until now, that is. A call has been sent out. Not only to the former members of Overwatch, those who fought in the first Omnic Crisis, but also new heroes, the ones who wish to bring the world to a better place. From all around the world, heroes and vigilantes flock to Watchpoint: Gibraltar, a shell of what it used to be, but a useful base nonetheless. This is where people like you come in. the vigilantes, the heroes of old, the ones with no place left to go. The time for Overwatch to rise again has come, no matter that the world governments say. Now, are you with us, or against us?



Hello! Welcome to my little Overwatch roleplay. I'm a bit excited to bring you this. Though I'm a novice at running a roleplay, I would be more than happy to try this out, and at least give it a shot. It'd be good practice for later on in life, most likely. So, welcome to Overwatch! In this roleplay you'll be taking the role of an Overwatch operative/supporter, working for those who want to stop the evil in the world; to protect the innocent and keep the peace. Perhaps, later on, I'll allow a few bad guys created by y'all to be put into the mix, or perhaps those who don't have a side in the conflict. Until then, though, have fun, be nice, and enjoy the roleplay!
Code: Select all
Delete anything in parenthesis, please.
Name:
Codename (optional, but recommended):
Gender:
Age:
Appearance: (Description or picture)
Powers and Abilities: (Anything that the average human just wouldn't be able to do. At least, not without many years of practice)
Equipment:
Strengths:
Weaknesses:
Backstory:
Other:
Name: Cynthia White
Codename (optional, but highly recommended): Lilith
Gender: Female, of course.
Age: 33
Appearance: https://pre00.deviantart.net/9b90/th/pr ... 9x4n0z.jpg
Powers and Abilities: She's very charismatic, being able to talk people into doing just about anything she wants. She's also good at using weapons without anyone noticing. She's the one that'd have a small gun in a tube of lipstick, or a small blade in her mascara. Something weird.
Equipment: She has a perfume bottle filled with a certain chemical concoction. When inhaled in large doses, the target essentially falls in love with her, and she gets to manipulate them. She also has a concealed gun in a tube of lipstick, and a blade disguised as more lipstick.
Strengths: very persuasive, good at acting innocent, can run in heels which is a miracle in and of itself. Good aim with pistols.
Weaknesses: She's not good with hand to hand combat. She's incredibly frail and would break easily. Doesn't want to damage her body much. She's extremely vain.
Backstory: Cynthia White was named as one of the most beautiful people in the world. Coming from a high expectations, upper class family, Cynthia learned that if you're going to get anywhere in life, you're either going to have to get smart, or you're going to have to look pretty. She focused more on the latter than she had the former. She spent most of her time making she looked absolutely beautiful, dying her hair or otherwise to make sure she looked the best. Eventually, she decided to dip her toe into something a bit else vain. She spoke against criminal and terrorist organizations, telling people to do something about it. It didn't really work out that well. A model couldn't bring down a criminal ring by just saying a few words. That's when she took to the street.
With the help of a friendly Scientist, and with pulling a few strings, she was able to create a pheromone that, when inhaled in high doses, made people fall for her. They'd do whatever she wanted. She hid it in a perfume bottle, put on a disguise, and took to the street. She put on a new costume, adopted a new look, and changed her name to Lilith. She then went out to target a major crime ring in America. She went down to Texas to begin to pull strings. She used her items to her advantage, manipulating those to do what she wanted them to do, and her she killed those that she had to, with the help of a concealed gun in a tube of lipstick. Eventually, once she had made her way through most of the crime ring, an Overwatch recuiter had approached her. In secret, of course. Wanting to do something good for the world, she joined Overwatch almost immediately. Considering she was one of the first to respond, she was promoted to a squad leader:
Other:

Team 1/Team Mesmer
Angelos: If he's your friend, he'll pick your buffs, if he's an enemy, he'll pick your poison.
Nightshade: A very violent omnic monk. Not the most tranquil.
Fortress: Takes a licking, keeps on ticking, and shooting and decimating.
No.9: You want grenades? She's got grenades. And arrows.
Dough Girl: She is the rocket man.
Sir: A robot with unpredictable predicting skills.
Minerva: Take a shot of ambrosia and call her in the morning.
Jäger: He's not dealing out alcohol shots, I can tell you that much.
Galahad: This knight knows karate. Gotta admit that's kinda cool.

Team 2
Aegis: Sometimes all you need is a good shield to hide behind.
Hammer: Going on a jetpack joyride.
Sutr: A crusader who will cleanse your sins with hellfire.
Loki: familiar traits on a not so familiar face.
Perseus: He's definitely in the Clone Wars, but he's not in a far off galaxy.
Draak: He already knows how to train your dragon.
Whimsley: he's an Irishman, what more do I have to say?
Max: Doggo protec, but he also attac.
Drakken: former bad guy fighting for justice.
Trojan: This guy is basically just going to ruin your day. That's all I gotta say.

Looking over the app, should Class (Offense, Defense, Tank, or Support) be included? And should abilities be split into regular abilities and an Ultimate?

You don't have to include that unless you want to. Put that in the other.
Also, no. You can just list off abilities. If you wanna do it like the game does it, go ahead, but it's not a requirement.

Then you have missed a mediocre movie in 2010 and a great television series in the 80s. A series that demonstrates everything that was awesome about the 80s.

Anyway, Murdoc = Crazy pilot.


Oh, what did I want to ask:

I did not play the game, though I vaguely remember a huge ape being featured... How is this world with non-humans and psionics (magic?)? Or is it all supposed to be Humans using technology to emulate super-powers?

It’s humans with tech, but that tech may as well be magic with some of the powers some characters have.

Yeah, it borderline magic. For some characters it's essentially magic with scientific reasoning. Reaper can teleport because science, Moira exists because science, Zenyatta is science or something I don't know what's up with him.

Yeah, he has the crazy bit down to the tee. Especially since he often argues with a alternate personality. I am thinking about either making him a sniper or a pilot.

Don't worry i won't. I am debating if i should make him a vet of Overwatch or not. On one hand, it would be funny to see other vet's reactions to seeing Bruce " Two-Face" Galvin again. But, him being kinda insane would be a funny surprise if he is new.

Would an Omnic assassin whose current target is aligned with Talon, forcing him to (uneasily) work with Overwatch be acceptable?

Um...hmm. Perhaps as a temporary contact? They're both working together temporarily, so as long as he doesn't hurt civilians or anything he should be fine. Make the app and I'll see.

If Reinhardt can pull it off, you most certainly can.

Name: Bjorn Eriksson

Codename: Surtr

Gender: Male

Age: 49

Appearance:
Armor - This, but in the style of Crusader power armor, with a greathelm-style helmet, and a Blackhardt-esque axe
Without armor - 7'6", 476 lbs, with a very broad and heavily muscled physique; Has dark green eyes and brown hair

Powers and Abilities: Aside from incredible physical strength, Bjorn is capable of performing standard Crusader attacks, though he also possesses flamethrowers implemented into his gauntlets, and the blade of his axe secretes oil out of small holes that allow it to be lit on fire.

Equipment: Power armor, power-shield, rocket-propelled axe, flamethrowers

Strengths: Extremely short-range combat and tanking damage

Weaknesses: Ranged combat, mobility,

Backstory: Born in Iceland, Bjorn moved to Germany prior to the Omnic Crisis. When it did happen, Bjorn was officially the youngest person to join the Crusaders, showing prowess in Melee combat, and doing fairly well at shielding his allies. A bit of a pyromaniac, Bjorn had developed the engineering skills to modify his suit, eventually crafting his own, just before the end of the Omnic Crisis. Afterwards, like other Crusaders, there were plenty of times when he felt the need to put the suit back on. After a period of 30 years, Bjorn had stumbled upon Reinhardt Wilhelm, and was asked by him, from one former Crusader to another, to join Overwatch. Ecstatic to say the least as to finding an excuse to put back on the armor. Mentored by the older Crusader, he often followed his fellow heroes onto the battlefield, protecting them, and setting fire to his enemies. Yet, his opinions on Overwatch itself remains on the fence, as he only joined for the sake of experiencing combat once again. Rather violent and aggressive, he has had a few issues with Overwatch authority.

Other: Has a penchant for the colour black, and a love for Norse mythology.

So...was he born in Iceland or did he move to Iceland? Your app says two different things, and it also mentions someone named Mason. Not sure what's up with that.

Fire mages...well, to be fair, Moira is essentially magic, and Reaper has something weird going on due to science. I mean guess if you can give at last some kind of explanation as to why, then that's fine.
Also, what were you thinking about making a non human? I'm curious.

Someone just apped as something like that, so it'd be preferred that you applied as something else for the sake of variety.
