@pyroman
I'm game for this, if you'll have me.

[pyroman]

@Pathfinderof course!

[Pathfinder]

@pyroman
How faithful to the core mechanics are we going to be in this RP? Like, are we stuck with our weapons and abilities or can we mix stuff up a bit through the thing?

[Pathfinder]

Thought I had a more flushed out idea, but nah. I'll work on it when I'm not as tired.

WIP

Full Name: Berry Jacob Harmon

Aliases: Hellraiser

Age: 31

Birthday: October 31st

Appearance: Berry looks like a thug, fairly simply. He is tall, he's decked in muscle, and has scars pretty much everywhere. His hair is cropped closely to his head, a glorified buzzcut if you ask anyone, and brown in color. His left eye is dark green with little flecks of gold, while his right eye is cybernetic replacement not unlike that worn by Torbjorn. Besides all this, ones attention is drawn to the jagged scar across his neck, a permanent reminder of the day Berry lost his voice.

Height: 6'4

Weight: 205 lbs.

Sexual Orientation: Bisexual

Role: Shock Trooper, causing as much damage and confusion as he can while everyone gets into position. Beyond that, he's the pointman.

Hobbies: Punching things, exercise, being admitted to the infirmary, Playing the guitar

Likes: Baked goods, his sisters, friendly sparring, "The Classics", and rain

Dislikes: Sour foods, needles, lies, vegetables, and not doing anything

Abilities:
- Enhanced Soldiers Program Experiment: An experiment of sorts, Berry is strong, fast, and vigorous even by the standards of other soldiers in the program. However, nothing comes for free.
- Hurt Stick Familiarity: Berry has a broad knowledge of practically every firearm known to man, not the best in any category, but most definitely not the worst.
- CQC Mastery: The only thing he truly excels at, wow be it to the being who gets within punching distance.
- Second Wind: With nothing but distilled piss and vinegar, Berry can push through a fight just a little longer.

Tools and Weapons:
- Ares Industries Pattern Light Assault Armor: A light armor that can tank some shots, it is however made for maneuverability and speed. Best not stay in the way of fire for too long
- Ares Industries XLR-48 Combat Shotgun: This particular beauty is effective to close to medium ranges and able to rip through most armors at close range, comes with an underslung grenade launcher.
- Delta V boost harness: An attachment on the armor of his shins, the Delta V's give Berry additional maneuverability on the field. While not as powerful as traditional jump boots or similar products, they do allow him to jump higher than a normal man can. Plus, Berry can do a pull up.
- Polly, A "Dumb" artificial intelligence that speaks for Berry where sign language is not possible or if whoever is talking doesn't understand sign. Polly speaks with a straightforward, almost business like manner and is unmistakably female. Berry could change the voice, but found it funnier not to.

Family:
Father - Joseph R. Harmon (Deceased)
Mother - Rochelle T. Harmon (Deceased)
Sisters

• Tanner F. Harmon, 30
• Clara T. Harmon, 23
• Riley R. Harmon, 19

Relations with other Team Members: TBD

Personality:
A quiet man by nature, inability to speak notwithstanding, Berry subscribes heavily to the "actions speak louder than words" camp of thought. Judging all by their actions rather than how they present themselves. However he tends to give the benefit of the doubt and tries not to judge people too harshly, at least at first. When he becomes comfortable around you he will noticeably soften, his posture becomes less rigid and his language much more relaxed. Hell, he might even pop a joke or two. Ultimately he is a friendly person and prefers to be around friendly people.

Biography:

Additional Notes:
The experimental treatments of his ESP training is starting to rear it's head. Nightmares, brief moments of small shakes, and episodes of heightened aggression are beginning to make irregular showings.

im not quite done yet, but i just wanted to get my character in :)

Full Name: Taru Hilja Korhonen

Aliases: Watcher

Age: 32

Birthday: October 8th

Appearance: Taru is usually always seen in her usual getup: the bulky, asymmetrical overcoat, the large, armored boots, and her helmet. Sometimes she'll take off the coat-that is if she's not in battle gunning down enemies - which reveals a black bodysuit that covers her whole body. No one has ever seen her face (besides close families and medics), and they probably never will, she relies on her helmet way too much to just take it off for casual settings.

Appearance

Height: 5'2"

Weight: 90 lbs.

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Role: Defensive sniper/hunter.

Hobbies: Whittling, birdwatching, baking, and cooking.

Likes: Saunas, animals, Christmas, and mythology.

Dislikes: People who hunt game as sport, vehicles (it's a little difficult to get her into one), and Russians.

Abilities:
-Aerial Jump: On the soles of her boots are jet-like, Taru is able to charge it for a short moment to determine the height of her jump. This is mainly used for getting into towering positions for her to snipe from.
-Detection: Due to her helmet, it uses sensors in the back to detect anything that moves behind her.
-Heightened Senses: Because of her disability, Taru is better at processing peripheral vision and motion.
-Electro Net: Taru shoots a net that traps an enemy for 2 seconds, shocking them for the duration of it.

Tools and Weapons:
-Sniper Rifle
-Hunting knife

Family:
-Mother: Aamu Jokela-Korhonen ✝
-Father: Kauko Korhonen
-Sister: Ansa Korhonen
-Brother: Vieno Korhonen ✝

Relations with other Team Members: N/A

Personality:

Biography:

Additional Notes: Taru is hard of hearing, and in her helmet are hearing aides. Sometimes when she's heard enough of someone speaking, she likes to turn them off and ignore them.

@yuckeroni@PathfinderCharacter sheets look good so far!

And Pathfinder, mechanics wise, you can switch some things up, improve some things here and there, but the core of your character will have to remain (Like I can give Glyph different enhancements to improve stealth, strength, and things for her to connect with, but her implants stay because it's literally a part of her).

@pyroman
So like, if I see some shiny new gun out in the field there is no mysterious force keeping me from picking it up?

[pyroman]

@Pathfindernope, you see a chair? You throw it at someone, you see a gun? You shoot it!

[Pathfinder]

@pyroman
*Matthew Mcconaughey voice

All right.

[pyroman]

Will be working on a villain character this week, stay posted

[Pathfinder]

Alright, I just have the bio to work on and Berry is done.

[Shyla Nesthorn]

I'm interested in this, I've done nothing but play overwatch for the past... month?

[pyroman]

@Shyla Nesthornalways welcoming new people!

Care to make a cs while I work on the OOC?

[Shyla Nesthorn]

Sure thing, I'll write it up now

[21308]

@pyroman Maybe you could help me come up with a decent ult for my character.

[pyroman]

@21308transformative weapons? I was thinking, because of the nature of the weapons, that he'd be able to transform his weapons either into electric chain scythes, or one dual bladed spinning scythe, that can discharge electricity and make an electric shield

[Shyla Nesthorn]

Full Name: Alex Frontier

Alias: Ultimo

Age: 24

Birthday: Aug 18th

Appearance:

Hider

Role: Evasion Tank

Hobbies: Playing budget video games, working for Overwatch.

Likes: Fast Music, Being in his Exosuit, Video Games, Fighting, Being Fresh, His Friends, His Sister

Dislikes: Not being in his Exosuits, criminals, Omnics, Those who are not fresh

Abilities:
Higher and Higher: Ultimo supercharges his Exosuit's legs, enabling him to throw himself high into the air to avoid gunfire and get a bird's eye view of the situation. Though landing from this height takes a moment to recover.

High Voltage: Ultimo directs some of his Exosuit's energy to the area in front of him, effectively turning him into a man-sized taser.

Burning Up: Ultimo's strongest move. Over heating his entire suit to it's breaking point. The heat is so intense that anyone near the suit will feel like they are on fire, burning all those around him in a 25 meter radius.

Tools and Weapons:
Type-52 Combat Exosuit Ultimo Ver. : What separates Ultimo from the average human, a suit that puts him in the same league as combat oriented Omnics, greatly enhancing his agility and durability. His custom version has interior speakers and is painted gold on top, black on it's legs. Often worn with leather jacket and scarf.
Dual X2-B3 Machine Pistols : A bit slower firing then a certain someone's Pulse Pistols, but much more heavy hitting and much more accurate. Ultimo prefers using these pistols over rifles since they are light and easy to move when he's jumping around.

Biography:
Ultimo grew up as Alex Frontier, a young boy with no real aspirations. His parents doted on him and his sister, spoiling them and making their lives easy as can be. In short, Ultimo's childhood was good, all too good. His easy lifestyle was cut short, however, when a Omnic criminal accidentally killed both his parents during a robbery gone wrong. After that, Ultimo had to care for his sister, taking on various jobs to earn money for food. Years went by and Ultimo eventually wound up as a (paid) test subject for a companies new line of combat Exosuit. The job was easy, he just had to live in the suit for a few days to make sure the suit wouldn't overload and kill it's operator. Luckily the experiment was a success and the company hired him on as a full time tester, suddenly making Ultimo a very rich boy. During one test, the facility was attacked by a mercenary group seeking to steal the Exosuits for themselves. Using one of the newer suits, Ultimo fended them off until security could arrive. During the fight, Ultimo discovered his love for fighting. After that day, Ultimo bought the Exosuit he used with his own money and went off to join Overwatch. Ever since then he has been using the same Exosuit, seemingly never leaving it even to this day.

Personality:
Ultimo is loud, overly friendly and is way too over confident with himself. It doesn't help that he acts like he is from the 90s for some reason that no one can quite figure out. Despite all that he is easy to get along with and is always ready to help anyone in need. But as much as he likes helping people there is one other thing that he enjoys more, fighting. Nothing get's his blood pumping or makes him feel as alive as getting into a good scrap. As an Overwatch member he can do both which suits him just fine. For an unknown reason he never leaves his Exosuit except in privacy, resulting in no one knowing what he actually looks like. If asked why he stays inside he always gives a different answer, but the most common one being it makes him "look badass".

Family:
Susan Frontier - Mother - Deceased
Geoffrey Frontier - Father - Deceased
Alice Frontier - Sister - Alive

Additional Notes:
Ultimo always has music playing inside his suit when fighting, pumping him up mentally. This has caused him to ignore team mates more then once, causing a few problems.

[Shyla Nesthorn]

it seems like every character here is a masked, suit of armour
