Character Idea - Irradiated Omnic

General Discussion
1

Vague character idea my friend and I thought of.

The character is an Australian Omnic that survived the fusion explosion but is irradiated. Due to this they have a radiation aura around them which damages enemies (ability or passive).

That’s as far as we got :stuck_out_tongue:

I Actually really like this idea, Mixing in radiation into it’s core design…
Surprisingly, i never would have thought of it…
I love this idea, And i truly hope that you expand upon it…

Perhaps an ability (Shot/Melee?) that has lasting Damage over time, Kinda like a slow Ana Shot Effect? Or a very slow Moira Damage sort of effect… That scares me… :confounded:
Or, immunity to Things such as Widows Ult, or sonic arrow? Due to the radiation, Of course. Not stealth per say, But harder to track?

(I’m just throwing these out off the top of my head.)

Maybe it could make the enemy trip super hard from radiation poisoning and see more than one of him (like an illusion spell) :slight_smile:

He, of course, has to be at least brown or semi-black.

Haha thanks :slight_smile:

If the aura is a passive then maybe the character can be a melee type. I think it would also depend on their role. Thinking defense might be a good one.

Can irradiate an area effectively blocking it off and making the enemy go another way. And being irradiated causes you to be “tagged” and visible to the character or enemy team for a period of time while also slowly taking damage like Widow’s poison mine.

I like the illusion idea. Perhaps their ult?

The only thing that i can see making this better… (Not to ruin your dream, TacticTurtle! :crying_cat_face:)

Is if it’s voice was all… Gargled… Like, if you could only make out certain words here and there… Making it sound as if it has gone slightly insane over time…
Maybe even a Terrifying “Roar” As it attacks…

We don’t exactly have an “Insane” Character yet, anyways…

just my Own personal headcanon, Don’t let it spoil any views or ideas… ^.^

Junkrat’s kind of close to insane :stuck_out_tongue:

Yea, but i mean… he’s level headed enough to Rob a bank, So… he can’t be That Bad off… X3 Lol

I do like the idea of having more Melee based characters, Maybe someday they will offset the number of Gun based kits? Who knows at this point.

But i definitely think you have something here.
Keep at it! :3

Edit: A part of me wonders what a version of overwatch would look like, Comprised Entirely of Fan Made characters… Hmm…
I even came up with one myself, but its still Extremely rough…

Talked with my friend a bit further about it and he was thinking that it’s level headed but homicidal. I kind of like a touch of insane or at least makes you question it’s AI’s sanity. Kind of to try and balance out all the playable good omnics we have :stuck_out_tongue:

An omnic version of Junkrat. (Personality wise.) is what im thinking.

I am liking the idea, let me put my dollar coin into the mix. With the omnics weapon.

I was thinking on the lines of a gauss rifle very unshielded. as it fires their is a blooming of radiation around the main hero as the weapon itself is unshielded, there would be a trade off in both firing speed and projectile damage. for the extra damage. think a reverse form of Brigitte.

honestly love the idea but please give that hero the personality of HK-47

Well, there is a problem with this concept. If he could irradiate other enemy heroes, he could be… cancerous. cough

That’s actually a very interesting idea… Idk how exactly how it would be balanced, as in numbers… But very interesting indeed.

Also, Omnic Junkrat, Specifically a radiation covered one, Scares me.
And, Would it hate Junk/Road? I would assume so, As they (Roady mostly) Are the ones who blew the reactor up in the first place. o-o

and Chris Hemmsworth has to be the voice actor but if its female it has to be Margot Robbie(i can dream) or it can be a omnic with multiple personalities one evil and one good and chris can be the evil one and margot can be the good one

so pretty much the character’s changes voices depending on if they are saying an evil thing or if they are saying a good thing

HK-47 mode and Princess peach mode

Actually, I must Thank you.

Talking about this Might have just fixed my idea for My hero’s Ult… And i had hit a Brick Wall… Gotta go write that down for sure. X3

(Don’t worry, i would NEVER Take anyone Else’s Ideas… This one is coming along Great btw.)

Quite the imaginative approach.

maybe the Omnic was adopted by the junkers but kept at a very long distance. Junkers may be mad as an cut snake but they are not stupid and keep the omnic at very long arms distance. Though what faction the omnic belongs to should be left till last as well as potential lore. I could easily get addicted to blue penciling lore background.

That’s what I was thinking too! The first thing that came to mind was the Golden Freddy voice from the first FNAF game (that I haven’t played in 4 years, weird that I remember it so well).

As for the character itself, I think that it would be cool if his primary fire (or possibly an ability) was some sort of radioactive wave that 's short-ranged but has good damage.

Another thing could be that instead of reloading, this hero had an “overheat” mechanic. It’d work well with the radiation theme too.

I could get addicted to writing lore as well. X3 I’m still writing the lore behind my Hero, But it’s coming along…

Maybe it’ll get famous someday… :smirk_cat:

What? i can dream! Lol
