@Natty I'd definitely be glad to welcome you to this RP!

@Lmpkio All very unique ideas. For some reason I really like the idea of an omnic builder. That would be pretty cool. I've never actually played TF2, but from reading about the Engineer it seems like a really interesting concept that would be of great use to the team. In all honesty, all three of your options sound pretty good though.

I was thinking of structuring the character sheet in a way similar to how it is done over here at: https://www.reddit.com/r/OverwatchHeroConcepts/

You'd essentially be designing the character as if they were being made for the game (with a few key abilities, strengths, weaknesses, who they might work best with, etc.). Would people be comfortable with this style of character sheet? Please let me know!

@Famotill That type of style also reminds me of some Super Smash Bros Rps I've been in, having controls be implimented to make a non-smash bros character work. This could work, but alternatively, we can just go on listing abilities like you see here on the Overwatch Wiki. Simply state the ability's name and how it works, as well as for how long/far it can go. I give Tracer as an Example:

overwatch.gamepedia.com/Tracer

Or simply:

Action Name: Allows character to do ______. Effect can last for __. Range is up to ____. etc.

An example of what I mean is down below, in regards of the second character choice:



What do you think?

The rest looks good though.

This works as well. I'm open to either one honestly since they are effectively rather similar. I don't really think we need button inputs, but it helps some people structure them. So I'd even be willing to make controller layout optional in the character sheet.

@Famotill Also keep in mind, I say there should be two character profile types: Canon and OC.

Canon will probably be very simple and brief, no backstory required, it's simply to let someone know that you play this character.

OCs are the ones that require the most information, as in regards of above.

As an aside, the Vishkar likely either build Omnics or hire them as architechs. ;o So if it were blend between Sym and Torb, there's the idea of making them a Vishkar. But that's just a suggestion.

(Also, I might switch my option to Genji. ;o Especially since I have a friend who knows Japanese and can assist me when needed. ;D I'm not a weeb, I swear.)

I'm inclined to always write a backstory and personality, just to see if people understand the core concept of a character. While, I'm a lover of diverse interpretations of characters, I'm not keen on seeing a totally uncharacteristic version of Symmetra, Junkrat, or Zenyatta, three of the most extremely characterized individuals in the game. Their stories and their personalities are very polar and very dynamic, so it's both really easy to understand them and play them, but the lines of their character are extremely thin compared to, say Winston, Edgelord Reaper, or Lucio who have a pretty wide area to interpret and change within the Canon.

but i have absolute faith in @Fabricant451 being able to pull off Sym to a T (jesus christ victoria)

Well, I'm interested.

I might join with my OC, I'm not really sure yet.

I'd usually only be able to post once a day though, since I have a full-time job. Besides the weekend, I'd be able to post more then.

Glad to see more interest! Yes canons are welcomed, and original characters are encouraged. So either one is fine (or both).

@Jensoman For people who aren't able to post too regularly there is the option of being a villain character. You certainly don't have to take this route, but it's recommended. You're more than welcome to play a canon villain or make an OC. Keep in mind that you can still opt to play a hero.

@Famotill You can play as a villain huh? Good to know. May even incorporate a villain character into this RP as well. Basically I'll be in control of one/two canon characters (Soldier 76 confirmed), two OC good guy characters (my already made one "Creatrix" and make another one based off my concept one), and one villain OC character (I got two profiles basically ready on another RP though I could also make another one from scratch). All we simply need is a CS, and we can take off at least making our profiles.

Just be careful not to take on too much. I think, depending on how many people participate, I may have to limit how many characters one person can have. I'm afraid that we'll end up with overload or if someone ends up being unable to commit- a void being created once they leave. I'm working on the character sheet now along with some ground rules. I should be back on to let you all know in a few hours.
