Bio:
the year is 2054, the Omnic war had ended 3 years ago when Hanabi was born.
Hanabi was practically born into the engineering field, some say she might have even been born with a wrench in her hand (which would have been painful for her mother) and quickly became a prodigy in the future of technology advancement.
Hanabi worked with her father as part of an engineering company that developed quality of life devices, so objects that would make day to day life easier for everyone, their company was one of the leading factors after the Omnic crisis, as the world was still being restored, and people were still nervous that another crisis could break out, this staple continued up until Hanabi was 11 years old,
Over the course of the next 7 years however, the company began to develop more military based constructions, such as armor and weaponry.
This was because of a rival company that had began making superior technology, using only hard light, The Vishkar corporation.
Hanabi didn’t hate the fact that they had began constructing military equipment, but it was her fathers entire career, and her future on the line, and a company like Vishkar seemed suspicious, as they had appear from nowhere, with incredibly large funding.
Unfortunately Hanabi’s nervousness was true, Vishkar had overtaken them by a landslide, and her company was force to close after just 1 more year, with her father and mother having to move away to find more work.
Hanabi was lost, at 19 years old with no job, and enough moral sense to never join Vishkar, she packed up her things for one last time, but as she did, she noticed a small letter in her locker, an invitation, from a “Mr. Akinjide Adeyemi, the 2nd Doomfist”
Abilities: Passive: Barrierwatch
Hanabi is capable of seeing the HP of all barriers, this includes Reinhardt, Orisa, Winston, Brigitte and Symmetra ultimate.
she cannot however see the HP for Zarya’s bubble, as that disappears too fast to be useful.
Ability 1: Sonar mine
Hanabi places down a small sonar mine that, once triggered, emits a pulse that allows Hanabi and her team to see enemies in that location.
The mine can be destroyed if seen beforehand, Hanabi will be noted if it is destroyed aswell, but her team will not.
The mine does 0 damage, it is an ability that allows Hanabi and her team to control another part of the map, while being elsewhere.
Hanabi can only place down 1 mine at a time, as having 2 or more would allow her to control too much of the map before a team fight.
The mine takes 1.5 seconds to deploy and activate.
The mine has a trigger radius of 4 meters.
The mine takes 11 seconds to finish its cooldown.
Ability 2: Shield covert
Hanabi activates this ability and after dealing a certain amount of damage, Hanabi will begin to covert some of her health into shield, up to a maximum of 50.
she can then press the interact key to pass this shield onto an ally for 8 seconds, or keep it on herself for 10 seconds.
this shield cannot be stack on multiple targets, only one ally can have shield covert at a time.
the health that she loses when she passes it on will not regenerate, and will have to be healed back.
if Hanabi is under 50 HP, the passive will not activate.
the cooldown for this, if Hanabi is above 50 HP, is 12 seconds
Ultimate ability: Bluefire
Hanabi sets up her targeting system before letting loose a barrage of gunfire
when she is ready, Hanabi lets out a barrage of bullets, causing huge damage to anyone caught in it’s range.
The bullets are treated as hitscan, so the player needs to only have their crosshair on the target to hit.
The bullets do have damage falloff, the damage will begin to fall off after 7 meters of travel.
the bullet travels at 6.0 (meters/sec), making it faster than almost any character in the game, and 1.1 (meters/sec) slower than a speed boosting lucio, which is the fastest possible speed in game.
this gives it enough time to be useful, but allows the enemy to move if they see it coming.
Hanabi can turn while this is use, but slowly, just so she can’t snap to targets quickly.
However, the bullets fired during Bluefire barrage will not be taken out of her current ammo count, think of it as 2 different ammo storages.
the ultimate take 1550 ultimate charge to fully charge from 0.
Primary fire:
Hanabi has a “Bluefire” rifle, which she made herself while working with her father, it was heavily inspired by the same weapons used by Overwatch’s Jack Morrison.
the gun, unlike her ultimate, is treated as a rapid fire hitscan.
the gun has a bullet clip of 30.
The gun’s damage is 9-18
the rate of fire is 9 bullets a second.
the damage falloff is 30-50 meters.
the max spread angle is 2.3 degrees.
the reload time is 1.6 seconds.
the gun is best fired in short bursts, maybe 4-7 bullets before stopping and firing the same amount, to get around the spread, unless you are in close range.
Pros:
Hanabi functions in a similar way to Soldier 76, but has more team based abilities and requires her team to be half aware of her presence.
Her sonar mine function in the same way as a mixture of Sonic arrow and Junkrat’s trap, being able to detected anyone who sets it off or destroys it.
Her shield covert allows her to help characters like Zenyatta or Tracer survive longer in a team fight, or maybe just save her in a close situation.
her ultimate is like most damage dealing ultimates, it requires set up and timing, but if done right, can cause a team wipe.
Strong against:
Damage:
Tracer
Genji
Sombra
Reaper
Soldier 76
Pharah
Junkrat
Mei
Bastion
Tank:
D.Va
Winston
Hammond (wrecking ball)
Support:
Zenyatta
Mercy
Cons:
Hanabi cannot survive if she is focus fired, the best way to target her is to keep pumping damage into her until you trigger her shield covert, then focus fire her so she can’t gain any benefit from it.
another way to beat her is to attack someone near her, then when she uses Shield covert on the enemy you are attacking, switch to her, as she is now 50 HP down and has not means of healing herself.
Weak Against:
Damage:
Reaper
Tracer
Mei
Junkrat
Bastion
Widowmaker
Tank
Reinhardt
Roadhog
Zarya
Support
Brigitte
Zenyatta
Synergies:
Combining the sonar mine with Junkrat’s concussion mine means that you are able to lock off 2 potential routes from the enemy, just so long as the Junkrat is working with you.
The best synergies you can ask for is with anything that affects an AoE over time, so characters like Zarya and Mei, who are capable of halting the enemies movements, are best used with Hanabi.
As for synergy,most that can restrict and put the enemy team at an disadvantage works best, these ultimates would be:
Mei
Zarya
Reaper
Orisa
Sombra
Reinhardt
Zenyatta
Lucio
all of these ults work very well with his ultimate and can give Hanabi more breathing room for her ultimate.
Niche:
Overwatch in general has been getting a large amount of tanks and and supports lately, as well as a lot of “half classes” that fill 2 roles.
it’s been a long time since we got a “pure” damage hero in the game, and that is who Hanabi would connect with, those who enjoy playing a “pure, no nonsense” DPS
Victory Poses:
Default:
Hanabi has his gun lowered and staring forward
Victory:
Hanabi has her gun raised to the sky
Emotes:
Default:
Hanabi lowers her gun and looks around,before returning to normal
Relaxation:
Hanabi pulls out a “totally not a gameboy”, sits down and begins playing it.
(pressing any key will cancel this emote)
Highlight Intros
Default:
The Default Highlight Intro of all characters.
Got your back:
Similar to Ana’s “under fire” highlight intro, Hanabi jumps into the frame, does a role and turn towards the camera readying her gun.
Personality:
Hanabi goes where the money is, but not out of greed.
Hanabi’s future was cut short by Vishkar, and after her parent having to move away to find more work, she was inclined to do the same.
she has no love for Talon, or Overwatch, she looks after No.1, and in her mind, that’s her and her family.
that being said, she’s not “evil”, she’s a young girl who had her future planned out, and had it taken away by a shadowy organization
Not greedy or evil, just desperate to keep her families heads above water.

Story:
Hanabi was born in the year 2054, 3 years after the 1st Omnic was had ended
During this time, the work was still very nervous at the idea that another crisis would break out, so engineering companies were crucial to the rebuilding of society, luckily for Hanabi’s family, they had just given birth to a prodigy.
Hanabi was able to take apart and rebuilt several devices before she even spoke her first words, and at the age of 8, she was already working with her father in quality of life engineering.
over time, the world began to regain peace, but then the companies ideals changed, and the company she worked for began to make more military based technology.
This didn’t worry Hanabi in the least, it was new technology that she had never made before, and she made it well, almost perfectly, it was at the age of only 11 years old she made her staple weapon, the “bluefire” rifle, which there is no other replica of in the world.
However, this joy was short lived, as a new company was beginning to make waves in the engineering world.
The Vishkar cooperation.
Vishkar practically shut down almost small time companies with there hardlight technology, and Hanabi began to fear for her future.
Engineering was all she knew, to have it robbed would lose all since of self.
Unfortunately, Hanabi’s worst fear came true, after living with this fear for 7 years, her company was finally forced to close.
Her mother and father were forced overseas to work, but not without leaving a single message to Hanabi.
“Look after No.1, you matter more than anyone”
And with a single message, Hanabi packed up her tools, and left for one last time.
Before a letter feel out of her bag, a formal invitation, from a “Mr. Akinjide Adeyemi”
Hanabi knew this name, and knew just what it meant
“the 2nd Doomfist needed her assistance”
Hanabi let out a little smile and said to herself
“look after No.1”
Hanabi’s original design was inspired by 2 of Hammond (wrecking ball) pieces of concept art.
Hanabi Chisai Translates to “Small firework” which represents her small stature but lively personality and fiery drive.
Handbag’s favorite food is lotus seed dumplings.
Hanabi’s favorite color is Azure.
Originally, the plan was to have Hanabi and Mei in a “long distance” relationship, but as she had to become younger to fit into Overwatch’s timeline of events and as she became more Talon related, the idea was given up.
Hanabi is one of the last few people to have a fully functioning “game boy” in the current Overwatch year, which Sombra has tried to steal on several occasions (Hanabi would let her have it if she just asked)
Hanabi was Invited to Talon by the current Doomfist’s mentor, the 2nd Doomfist, Akinjide Adeyemi.
Hanabi’s favorite song is “Wild thing” by Jaxson gamble.
Hanabi’s parents are both alive and well, but their locations are unknown and they are both unaware of Hanabi’s current work.
some really interesting & useful ideas here!
unsure if it’d be fair/balanced but they’re def more of a utility support so that could be what’s needed to make them viable xD.
