Canadian DPS Hero "Alpha"

Name: John “Alpha” McCrae

Lore: A Canadian developed super soldier. As the Canadian military prefers high skilled soldiers capable of dealing with any situation. The Canadian government developed technology using exosuits, and armour suits and the MASS rifle. When the omnic crisis began, Canada took a group of their best from thier special forces and anti Terrorist force and created the Timberwolf Squad. A group of 5 Soldiers who were the best Canada had to offer and trained them with this new equipment, lead by Captain John McKay, The Alpha.

They were trained in using the MASS technology and trained in using it in various situations. Ammo used to quickly deal with heavy omnic troops, troops with shields, and in extreme situations using explosive rounds to deal with swarms, or to get through rubble. They were trained in proper wartime medic training and became fluent in several languages to help people all over the world.

Their first mission was to secure the border and help the Americans destroy the Detroit Omnium, where the squad performed better then predicted suffering no causalities. After this the Canadian government sent the Timberwolves into various omnic hotspots to collect civilians trapped in the warzone, secure an evac zone and escort the refugees back to Canada. Never suffering a single casualty.

After the omnic crisis ended, the Timberwolves were put on “deactivation” status, and they wait hoping never to be activated again, But with the increase in Talon operations, and Europe becoming a more and more unstable region with high tensions between Omnic and Humankind, the Canadian Government is Considering bringing the Pack back.

Too similar to soldier.

Also the damage seems to be quite overturned, 3 round burst with 40 damage each bullet means 120 damage per burst (240 with headshots) in little over a second, i would tone it down to like 25

Yeah, I have to agree with BurntToast.

Another Super Soldier…? Just sounds too similar to Soldier lore-wise.

I’ve been trying to think of a decent Canadian hero for OW, but I don’t think a soldier should be one (Just saying this because I feel like someone will get offended or something, I’m Canadian too and a veteran of the Canadian Military).

The hero should be a Beaver, Moose or Humanoid.

Name: Logan “Buck” Thibodeau

Lore: TBD

Design:

Enhanced beaver
Large in size (like a fat lucio or de-mech’d D.Va)
Sharp Claws and Teeth
Red and White

HP:

250
No natural armor

Primary: Uses melee attacks

Hack and slash at target
unlimited ammo

Secondary: Gnaw

Goes for the Throat
Inflicts a burst of dmg, then a bleed effect

Ability 1: Impale

Pulls out a log, quickly carves it into a stake and pins the target to the ground
Does small amount of dmg on impact
Immobilizes the target for X time

Ability 2: Sub-sonic Tail Beat

Tail rapidly beats on the ground slowing the movement of all enemies within X meters
Small amount of dmg
Can be interrupted

Ult: Sappy Days

Buck becomes enraged increasing dmg and hp
Pulls out two giant logs and a) tosses them at a target
Logs land on top of one another forming a barricade. If touched, movement slowed by X% (because of sap on the logs, eh)
b) uses the logs as weapons, swinging them around causing aoe dmg but depletes Ult quickly

I’m not even gunna try to come up with numbers just because there are so many people who lock in on the numbers and not the creation of a character.

But this is my two cents, eh

Imagine seeing a 500 pound beaver running at you swinging a giant log.

So lemme see if I understand what you’re throwing down.

You gave your OC the single most generic first name in the English-speaking world, the most boring possible military codename, a last name that’s one letter off from being exactly like McCree . . . and you combined all of this together with a recolor of Jack and Gabriel’s backstory?

Why?
