I created a hero a long time ago, and iâm still building on her story and design. I decided it was time to introduce her to the forums.
-
Name: Referred to as âVâ By those close to her, no one is sure of why, or simply refuses to speak of it. She will not acknowledge any other designation. Pronounced: âveeâ
-
Race: Omnic, early model heavily self-upgraded/modified.
-
Gender: Non-binary, quite literally⊠but prefers to take on a âFeminineâ Persona, if you asked a human. Female pronouns are⊠acceptable perimeters to differentiate her from others.
-
Age: Assumed to be around 29-30 years of age, based on factory production date.
Now this is where we get into detailâŠ
In-Game Abilities/Design
- Vâs primary attack/primary fire consists of punches swipes and kicks, each dealing progressive damage when a combo is achieved. Starting at 50 (the standard melee damage) And progressing to 75, then 100. This primary fire taking slightly longer than a standard melee to âSwingâ after the first hit lands. This attack is only applied in melee range.
- âEnergetic agilityâ Vâs first short cooldown ability allows her to jump around 10 meters into the air from free standing or while moving. If used while moving she will jump in a small arc. No matter how she began the jump, she will roll a few meters into a standing position when landing on flat surfaces, or grab onto walls to climb them. Giving the player full control of her movement. (This is not a static sequence, allowing for camera movement throughout.)
The cooldown being around 4 seconds. (Heavily Debatable)
- âEnhanced mobilityâ V is capable of climbing walls, ledges, and âHoldingâ a ledge, allowing for V to jump back off of it at a momentâs notice. Vâs base movement speed is slightly higher than normal. If the jump button is held after a normal jump higher than 1 meter, she will roll at the end of her jumps, landing on the ground in the same fashion as âEnergetic agilityâ
- âEnhanced sensesâ With a cooldown of 20 seconds, V will hone in on her enhanced senses, emitting a âpingâ every 2 seconds, lasting for a duration of 10 seconds, each time the ping is emitted enemies will be shown as static red images through walls at the time of the ping. This effect applies to all teammates, as sonic arrow does. The enemies within range would also hear the ping as it is emitted. V will also receive a speed increase during itâs duration.
- âHealing auraâ V naturally has a healing aura around her⊠it may be a side effect of her time spent training with Zenyatta, and will naturally heal her allies in a small radius of 6 meters for 10 hp per second, scaling up with each successfully landed melee attack, from 10 to 35 to 60, lingering for 5 seconds after the hit has landed. (Radius requires line of sight, itâs size is up for debate.)
- âPersonal shield gridâ Vâs health consists of 50 standard HP, 50 Armor HP, and 100 shield HP. Making V heavily reliant on her own naturally replenishing shield grid to survive.
-
Duel ultimate. V has two ultimates, up to the player which to use.
As a singular entity, it is referred to as âDualityâ -
The first: âWrathâ sends V into an uncontrolled rage, her primary attack dealing 100 damage per swing, without a combo scaling effect. Her cooldowns are halved during this ultimate.
-
The second: âCompassionâ halves her cooldowns but ups her healing output twice over, and increases her primary fire (swing) rate slightly.
Appearance?
âVâsâ current appearance in present day Overwatch is that of a heavily modified Omnic, standing at only 4 and a half feet tall, she has a thin frame, having removed her own outer shell years ago, and replaced it to accommodate smaller and more efficient internal parts.
V has completely overhauled limbs, her legs resembling that of a cat, slim and bending to accommodate strong upward mobility, and quick horizontal movement. She has four large modified âEarsâ Which are sensitive enough to hear and locate a target from rooms away, which she keeps hidden under a hood when traveling.
Her eyes are larger, much more distinct than any factory standard model Omnic, being replaced with extremely sensitive equipment resembling the compound eyes of an insect while being programmed to display visuals to convey emotional states, and giving her a wider field of view, and far more detailed visual information than even a human is capable of. They glow a deep blue when she allows her emotions through, a side effect of the equipmentâs (Stolen) origin.
V typically wears baggy or reflective clothing, usually stolen items cobbled together to form what some could call an âOutfitâ This gives her the appearance of just being another piece of hard to understand technology when hidden in plain sight.
V has claws where her finger tips and âtoesâ might have once been, one of her last choices of defense in close combat, each ground to a shining sharp point.
V has a thin robotic tail, capable of holding objects in a pinch, but completely intended for stabilization when running and jumping, usually also hidden under clothing when in public.
Story Time. (Big Read)
âVâ Is one of the first Omnics off of the production line, and one of the first to learn of her⊠independence. She survived through hiding in plain sight, stealing the IDâs of soldiers, upgrading herself physically when possible, learning about her construction and of the construction of others, both mechanical, and⊠biologicalâŠ
Eventually she would stow away on military and civilian transports jumping from one to the next until she was taken in by a group of Omnics headed to Nepal, who briefly became⊠like family. Or the closest thing she knew to the phrase. She studied under many monks, before rising to the top of her âClassâ And studying under Zenyatta and Mondatta themselves, growing closer to the one monk who began to show her what kinds of power she held within.
Until that fateful day, her âHomeâ Became nothing more than an empty dusty room in her eyes, as she tore itâs doors from their hinges, shattered the very pottery she had helped to sculpt, and destroyed her small piece of the monastery, and of her only home.
The high monk had taken on a second close pupil, to live in this clean and vibrant place⊠one not of metal but an amalgamation of flesh and steel⊠âWrongâ In her eyes⊠one who belonged to the very people who sought to destroy her and her kind.
She left before finishing her training, in a dangerous and unpredictable time, and state of mind⊠Zenyatta had warned her that if she left him and forwent her training so far along, she would be throwing everything away⊠and be lost to her own turmoil.
She fled to live in the shadows of the light, hidden once more in plain sight⊠and not knowing for sure who she had become. Her state of mind was only further worsened upon hearing of Mondattaâs death, forcing her to retreat completely into the shadows, reluctant to interact with anyone let alone Omnic or Human. She had believed that Omnics were ârightfully immortalâ And hearing of one of her teacherâs passing forced her to question the very values in life she had so willingly ignored, the very words Mondatta had spoken to her.
She knew of people who wished not to be known, and found places that shouldnât have been seen, but did nothing with this information, simply watched the world from the comfort of her anonymity⊠until she was captured for the first time in her life.
By a human no doubt⊠but not just any human.
She thought she couldnât be caught, until she awoke on an old sofa in a dingy loft, with some kind of bio-mechanical weapon sticking out of her leg, and a masked figure sitting across from her⊠at first she thought she was in the company of another heavily modified Omnic, until the figure calmly and orderly removed the mask, to reveal, of all things, an old woman.
Ana Amari had questioned where this Omnic had found or been given the information enough to track her, let alone find her⊠but quickly realized she wasnât being hunted⊠a welcome change from the normal day to day.
At first she was apprehensive to even talk to this human, assuming she meant the worst⊠but she didnât need to do the talking. Ana knew she was scared, and as much a child to this world as anyone else⊠but what solidified her trust was having come across a file detailing an illusive Omnic âThiefâ That had never been caught, matching the description of this small thing laying on her couch. âYou donât mean any harm, do you? You never did⊠i doubt you stole anything of personal value to anyone eitherâ Ana said, looking over Vâs randomly assorted attachments and enhancements, not unfamiliar to her own.
The old sniper enlisted her to find someone⊠someone who was to her surprise, even more illusive than either of the two of them. The head of a suggested hacking group that had never been caught or exposed, and the very person Ana was fearful of being in possession of Overwatchâs most closely held data⊠her own included.
V had been on the tail of this individual for days when it happened⊠she couldnât move. Her limbs didnât seem to acknowledge her impulses⊠she fell to the ground, completely immobile⊠and later woke again to find herself in a quiet makeshift server room⊠confronted by an empty room, and an indistinguishable voice questioning her. At first she feared the worst, but quickly realized she was still mostly intact⊠except for the bundle of wires and connectors linking her to a nearby computer, she felt⊠violated.
The questions made no sense, and it was quickly apparent as to why⊠she wasnât an agent working for any large corporation, nor a cyborg assassin⊠this was made clear to the hacker when she saw fear in the large eyes of the Omnic⊠something she hadnât seen for a long time, especially not outside of a mirror.
She revealed herself to be Sombra, the entire hacking group itself⊠and another shadow hiding itself from the world⊠The hacker kicked her out, threatening to disable her once more if they ever crossed paths⊠and to find her and wipe her entire memory if she ever revealed information about Sombraâs whereabouts or identity.
This threat didnât stick with V for long, as she stuck close to the shadows in the city of Dorado, as the local gangs became much more violent. There was talk of an unknown figure hunting down members of âLos-muertosâ And it was assumed to be a heavily modified Omnic doing these deeds, as the figure was only described as âHaving a glowing face and inhuman reactionsâ
V was cornered by the gang, and beaten nearly into submission, with music blaring in her ears⊠When a friendly face decided to take over. Someone who knew the gang and knew their systems well, would shut everything down⊠computers, lights, the loud music, even temporarily disabling her friend in the process⊠a desperate and risky move. The phrase âAPAGANDO LAS LUCESâ echoing through the warehouse, followed by shots being fired, and doors being flung open as the men fled from their hideout.
Sombra worked throughout the night, in an attempt to repair her new friend⊠her major systems had been nearly destroyed, all but a black box that V herself had designed to keep her alive in case of major systems failure⊠Sombra worked tirelessly, even updating her defensive software and protecting her against otherâs less well designed hacking attacks, while improving her regenerative internal shield grid in the process.
Only did V finally wake once more the following morning, new and improved, to find that her new friend was asleep at a desk covered in spare parts and pieces of circuit boards.
(Edited mostly for grammar. I may edit and add content as it is created and settled upon.)
This isnât a TL;DR by any means, and i would highly suggest and appreciate it if you read through the thread before giving feedback, but a general assessment of âVâ is that she has a disdain for humans, fearing them more than most would because of the things she saw during the crisis. She is slowly learning that her initial feelings may have been warped, but sheâs not likely to trust easily. She is split between wanting to be âgoodâ and not knowing what âgoodâ is exactly, fearing that humans are the problem. She cannot control her emotions as easily as she was taught, and suffers in internal turmoil over her views of the world. She may heal the weak, or destroy a weakened opponent⊠and she isnât too clear on what the difference is yet.

(This is a hero that iâve been designing since far before many of the new heroes were added, and I would love some further feedback on. ^,^ Itâs taken a while for me to slap together this information, but iâm finally feeling like itâs worth posting.)
