@Tominas
Look mate, there is not going to be any fights for now, we need to introduce all the characters, and Yes, that includes Reaper, who is in the process of being organised. 

However, as it stands, I am busy, and at least until monday my time and don't have the energy to do much, although I am catching up on posts now, I will be putting together combat rules and engagemnts for Vicier to go over, sometime in the next two days or so, however with life at the moment, its not on the top of my list. 

I need to do a few real life things first, and then I can do this stuff. Please, be patient.@Caits

All good! I wasn't trying to rush you guys, I'm just excited about the rp is all. No pressure. That being said, do we have a char limit? I ask out of curiosity. And combat scenes are acceptable as long as it's not PVP, right? Like, if we were to do something similar to @Solo's scenes for McCree.

And damn, chat blew up tonight.

Hey, concerning anyone with a Talon character, I'm making a new character that is basically a highly durable African woman with the personality very similar to Illaoi, if any of you have ever played League (I know, I know, stupid game, but I play it anyway). Basically a very rough and tumble mountain of a woman, with no reservation of giving into her desires. Toughness and durability are valued above all else, however she knows that comes in many different ways, through deceit, stealth, and tactics. She admires someone who is capable. So basically, she needs a partner. Anyone interested?

Also, she fights with a sword and has seismic based abilities, if that matters.

There's potential interest from me. Been planning for a wave two of characters actually (one from both). I have one character in mind that could use telekinesis and use barriers and shields (basically a more defensive Pharah but without rockets and stuff) and still thinking of a potential Talon Character. Alternatively for Overwatch, hell I could use Orisa, but I'm not too sure.

@December You mean like the reason why she joined Talon, or just for operations? Like, are you looking for background or a battle-buddy?

Honestly, both would be great, but I can settle for either one.

@December I mean, right now I'm only playing one char and he's a mercenary, so that doesn't really work for the Talon connection unless you want to have been a merc, too. That being said, if you want a battle-buddy I wouldn't turn down a strong independent tank don't need no support :D

I guess... well, serving the law?

Yeah this is a reason why I'm hesitent on making her profile yet... too brand-spankin' new. Still has some time till she can change the meta and yeah...

Ima... Ima leave her alone for at least a few months. I'll come back to her at a later date.

So I suppose that OW OC will/can do for now.

I don't blame ya. Blizzard's way of revealing their character in game is pretty cool, however kinda frustrating.

Hahah, I like it. Well, she's not a merc, but she is a fairly old member of Talon. Her entire reasoning for being there is personal gain and she thinks that with Overwatch and other societies keeping rule over the world, they've become too fragile to stand on their own. The chaos she brings reminds people how tough they are, and that they don't need big brother to always lend a hand. And if that brings money while she's at it, even better.

=Personal Information=

Personality:
♦ Confident ♦ Merciless ♦ Strong willed ♦ Stubborn ♦ Comforting ♦ Brutal ♦ Bold ♦ Destructive ♦

A mountain of a woman is the proper term for Akachi. She believes that at their core, each person is made of the same mettle. Some just don't know it and have to be smelted a bit until they get there. If it takes a little pain to make you stronger, than it's no concern of Akachi to worry about your comfort.

Akachi is a mighty warrior and a powerful ally. Nothing is done with fine, precise movements, but rather however she feels is the right direction to smash her way in. She has little concern for the collateral damage she causes. Tough love and a whip are two of her best friends. Laughter is never far from Akachi's lips, however some see her as radical for it. In any case, she wants everyone to be able to stand on their own without the weakness of depending on others.

Likes:
✔ Nature
✔ Animals of great prowess (Lions, tigers, and bears, oh my!)
✔ Bashing heads together
✔ People being pushed past to limits they didn't know they had
✔ Power (Wealth, weapons, intelligence, etc.)
✔ Thunderstorms
✔ Challenges

Dislikes:
✘ Indecisiveness
✘ Weakness
✘ The idea of someone being, "too weak."
✘ Betrayal
✘ Planes and the air
✘ Shoes

Hobbies: Training, communing with nature and various animals.

Strengths:
⚜ Stamina - Akachi is one of the hardiest people on the planet. She weighs well over two hundred pounds, and all of it is toughened muscle. Her towering height and heavy build allow her to continue on for far longer than the normal human being can.
⚜ Trilingual - Hindi, English, and Zulu (along with a wide variety of other native tongues and dialects) were all taught to Akachi during her time growing up in Numbani.
⚜ Powerful - Akachi's tech and weapons allow her to cause incredible havoc in a short period of time. She serves as an excellent distraction.

Weaknesses:
☠ Bulky - Akachi's strength comes with a cumbersome price. She isn't the fastest person on the planet by any means. She can tunnel and launch herself at others, however every action she has is delayed with a windup.
☠ Merciless - Akachi's tough love can often go too far, resulting in an injury she is apathetic about. Other people's safety is rarely even an afterthought to her, and if you wrong her, she will enact her vicious revenge.
☠ Destructive - Akachi is basically a seismic bomb; set her off, and she will obliterate everything around her.

Brief Biography:
Akachi was born into an African tribe near the great city of Numbani. Before the Omnic crisis, she focused on carrying on her tribes traditions. The culture of her tribe was not going to die out, no matter how hard nature tried. She learned the religion and the beliefs, that mother Earth forged us from her bones and that we are her children. Mother Earth doesn't make weak children.

When Akachi was eight, the omnic crisis hit, sending the world into a state of disarray. The tribe Akachi belonged to was relatively unaffected, however Numbani was destined for change. When the Omnics and humans formed a peaceful city, Akachi set out to test the mettle of the Omnic race. The rest of her tribe believed them to be weak, as man made them, not Mother Earth, however Akachi was unsure. She took an ancient blade and set out for the city, determined to discover the truth of the Omnics. She spent many years in Numbani, learning their ways and how tough they were. Every time she lashed out at one, put them to the test, the responded with arguably more mettle than a human would. Akachi eventually reached the conclusion that Omnics and humans are made of the same core, however Omnics don't coat themselves with useless barriers that keep them from reaching their true potential.

Akachi's tests on the Omnics were legally considered assault and attempted murder, and as such, she was forced underground. She worked as a bounty hunter, amassing tech and allies over the years. She eventually built a loyal following in the Numbani underground, which eventually presented Akachi with her current seismic technology. Once she reached a point of unquestionable power, she departed from her "empire", seeking out an opportunity to show the world of humans how to become less cushioned than the Omnics. Through her underground contacts and questionable methods, she eventually allied herself with Talon. Akachi believes that the only true way to force the world to return to their roots and embrace their stone cores is to bring them to their knees. And so she participates in Talon's actions, not minding the fair amount of wealth that it brings her.

=Organization Information=

Organization Alias: Itshe
Organization Affiliation: Talon
Base Of Operation: Los Angeles, California.
Previous Base Of Operation: Numbani, Africa.
Battle Type/ Role: Tank.

Occupation (Currently):
~Talon Enforcer
~Leader of Numbani underground

Occupation (Previously):
~Thief
~Enforcer for Numbani gangs

=Weapons and Abilities=

Abilities

Seismic Sense: The earth is Akachi's ally, and as such she can feel the vibrations of movement through the earth and detect the location and relative weight and speed of a person near her.

Terra Manipulation: Akachi can tunnel through the earth and stone walls by creating vibrations that break apart the stone. This forms a pathway that can be used by anyone. Tunneling underground can be questionable, as Akachi has difficulty seeing where she is going. Additionally, building foundations cause issues.

Seismic Pulse: Akachi's tech quickly charges up and releases a shock wave of seismic energy, repulsing and lightly damaging any nearby enemies. Allies are pushed back to a safe distance, however they are left unharmed. If the shock wave collides with terrain, it will bounce back and hit Akachi, throwing her in the opposite direction. She can use this to propell herself away from terrain at high speeds.

Uproot: Akachi can swing her Kopesh to create a linear pulse. The earth raises up in a line, rolling along like a rope does if you snap one end while the rope is lying on the ground. It knocks any enemies it encounters high into the air or to the side, forcing them to find a safe way to land or risk breaking a leg or two.

Weapons

Zulu Kopesh: An ancient relic of Akachi's tribe, this weapon dates back to the days of Pharaoh's and Egypt. It was the ancient weapon of the Egyptian race, and it was the choice tool of a great warrior in Akachi's tribe. It is linked to her seismic technology on her back, giving it powerful swings that force enemies to the side with each blow.

Seismic Gravitron Engine: The engine that Akachi wears on her back is quite cumbersome, however it brings immense power. It funds her seismic powers that allow her to bend stone and bring buildings to the ground. It is controlled by Akachi's Koseph.

Ultimate Ability

Ubuso Entabeni (Translation: Face of the Moutain): Channeling the immense power in her engine, Akachi pulling the very Earth before her into a massive wall that she then fire away after a delay to demolish structures and push enemies back. Any enemy caught by it is dragged along with it until they are thrown aside or smashed into a building. This clears a path straight to wherever Akachi sends it, making it incredibly useful for clearing the way for a push.

=Other Information=

Other: Akachi has an entire gang of loyal followers in Numbani that can come to her aid if she is ever in the city. She raised them from nothing to the kinds of the Numbani underground, and it is highly unlikely that they would turn against her.

Akachi's seismic powers tend to disrupt electronics and water lines that run through the ground. They also make buildings quite unstable and prone to collapsing. She must be immensely careful if she wants to avoid unnecessary casualties, if she is inclined to care about things such as that.

=Theme Song=

Theme Song:
Wiser - Madilyn Bailey

Lyrics:
I'm wiser from the mess you made I feel no pain
Wiser from the storms I braved yeah I want to say
Thank you thank you
For breaking my heart showing me who you are
I'm wiser from the waves you made
Wiser

I have yet to play ESO, personally, I'm still wandering my (albeit heavily modded) realm of Skyrim. Last I got on, a certain Khajit was wandering about, being a sneak thief. But, boredom demanded that said Khajit utilize a two handed mace at all times. Oddly more satisfying than just stabbing someone in the dark, really.

@Eisenhorn; haha, nice..! We both have Skyrim as well, but ESO is still kinda our drug, only matched by Overwatch of course. Last time I played Skyrim, I'm not quite sure what I did; I spoke to one person and the next thing I knew, my avatar turned into a werewolf in front of my eyes... serves me right for not actually reading the conversations I had with people x'D

Probably the Companions quest line, that tends to happen without much warning. Suddenly, werewolves. I'd be playing more Overwatch (Or Blizzard games period) but they have been giving me some serious latency issues lately, like to unplayable degrees. Nothing I've tried fixes it, and my other games work fine, so its specifically something with them. No idea what though, and it continues to bother me to this day. I try not to think about it too much haha.
