Overwatch: Resurgence

[Famotill]

Heroism. Sacrifice. Nobility

Thirty years ago these virtues meant more than placating to lynch-mobs and omniphobic rhetoric. It meant more than complacency in a world that was far from equal for all of its populace- be they human or not. Thirty years ago these three pillars of justice were associated with Overwatch. An elite international task-force that sought to restore order, peace, and justice to a world riddled with conflict and suffering.

In the end it seemed that Overwatch wasn't immune to the same problems that befell the rest of the world. The public turned away from Overwatch, and in its absence strife has become the norm for omnics and humans alike.

The year is 2076, and today marks a new beginning for Overwatch. Be warned that this journey will not be an easy one. The world has grown colder than before, and many are rightfully wary of what our organization has stood for. We will learn from the mistakes of thirty years ago, and we will work to rebuild the pillars that once upheld Overwatch.

You are now an agent of Overwatch, more specifically our re-instated Blackwatch Unit. The world is not yet ready to know that more agents stand prepared to answer the call. You, we, will work to ensure the safety of all people- no matter their identity- throughout the world. We are the heroes of Overwatch. While we may give you our hearts and our bodies, our nobility and pursuit of justice will never be sacrificed.


Welcome to the interest check for a new Overwatch RP. The Blizzard made first person shooter has taken the gaming world by storm, and now that it's been out for some time I wanted to see if there'd be any interest in starting up an RP that took place in the world. Story wise, this RP will take place after the "Recall" short- which means that Overwatch agents from around the world are being called back in.

I don't want to give too much of the plot away just yet, but players would be able to either RP as canon characters and original characters (both evil and good). Feel free to let me know if you have any questions, and I hope to see some interest in this!

@Illusion and @Mr Allen J if you both would still be interested in playing, feel free to let me know here! Also, feel free to provide any ideas for the RP or a character concept you might have.

[Mixtape Ghost N]

I'm not sure of why I was tagged, but I'm unable to participate in any extra RPs at the moment.

[Illusion]

Count me in!

[Famotill]

@Mr Allen J I think I may have misread one of your posts. I thought you expressed interest in an Overwatch RP, my bad.

@Illusion Awesome, glad to have you!

[Lmpkio]

Now I have a ton of RPs I have to carry so idk if its the best idea, but count me intrigued :) Will make both a custom character and call dibs on Soldier 76 if this happens to take off. :)

[HalfOfLancelot]

I'd love to join in and take an OC and Jesse McCree if you'll have me. ;D

[Famotill]

Awesome! I'm still working out how the canon characters will be incorporated into the story. It may be that they make some appearances, or that they go on alternative missions. If you both have any ideas let me know. I'll work on making a character sheet soon.

Any ideas on what kind of character you all might want to make? (Support, Tank, Offense, Defense)

[Fabricant451]

I might be wanting to play a canon character

@HalfOfLancelot

@Famotill

Not sure. In another RP I made a few OCs in regards myself. Could incorporate one of them or simply go for someone new.

That is freakin' adorable lol Daddy 76 man.

[Famotill]

@Fabricant451 Awesome! Any idea which canon character you might want to play as?

[Fabricant451]

@Famotill Either Symmetra or D.Va

Probably D.Va because reasons

[Lmpkio]

@Fabricant451

Considering gremlin Dva is your sig, I wouldn't be surprised XD

@Lmpkio

Gremlin D. Va is a precious girl and she is my spirit animal and I love her

[Famotill]

D.Va is awesome, though idk if she can really compete with Mei :/

[Natty]

Considered making an Overwatch Rp myself a while ago so I'm definitely interested however may just wait before settling on any ideas until after a few CS's go up to see what type of character is really needed and whatnot.

[Lmpkio]

In regards of OC characters, like I said I feel like bringing some from my RP (Heroes Rise), which involves two characters as followed:

1). A Pirate Queen unit which acts a bit like Mccree in the style that she is a modern pirate and such.

2). A Robot Engineer unit which acts like a combination between Symmetra and Torbjorn (with a little bit of the TF2 Engie).

And 3). (A concept that never came around) An offensive unit being that of a sentient Raptor dinosaur, with armor and a gun. Acts like a faster version of Winston (King Kong vs Raptor eh?)

As for Canon, like I said, Soldier 76 will be the main one I'd like to use. May use Pharah or Reinhardt as well...
