Questions asked

Mostly answered so far by FireDrake150

Q:

Q: How are we doing powers? will it be like overwatch's game with a primary weapon (maybe a secondary, sic mercy/torbjorn) a main ability, and a secondary ability and a ult? or will it be more freeform with a series of skills that blend in to a set of abilites?

A: I'd say closest to the game (main, Seccondary weapons and fire, ult, passive, etc.) but should we choose narration more flexibility can be implemented. (also charcter sheets should help)

Q. What sort of posting level are we expecting? 1 line a post? a paragraph a post? a novel a post?, What post rate do you want? Post per day? per week? per hour?! Is this a socially driven roleplay (character interaction and growth) or a plot/objective driven roleplay (You need to stop them from getting doomfists gauntlet ect)
(combined it to one huge thing XP)

A: I would say post as you are comfortable. one liners are hard to go off of, so I'd suggest a few lines minimum, But I'm not harsh in that regard. As for how it works, What would YOU find more enjoyable? I could see either narrative or social working, Though currently I'm leaning towards social since I'm not the best at story line generation.

[Razilin]

Name: CAPT. Jonathan "Jack" Ziegler, US Army Special Forces

Callsign: Blackjack

Age: 25

Gender: Male

Height: 6'4"

Weight: 220 lb.

Nationality: United States

Appearance:

Personality: Charismatic, friendly, and idealistic

History: Jonathan Ziegler was the son of Dr. Angela Ziegler (callsign Mercy). Though his mother was a Swiss citizen, he was born in the United States and held the appropriate citizenship by birth. Aside from sharing his mother's hair, eyes, and name, he could not be more different. Whereas she was a staunch pacifist and scientifically-minded, John opted to forgo higher education and joined the US Army at the age of eighteen, eventually entering the Green Berets. By the time he was twenty-five, he had served in three tours and had earned a reputation as a bold, fearless warrior who inspired loyalty in his fellow soldiers. For most of his life, he clashed with his mother concerning his desire to fight on the front lines and to pursue a military career instead of a less violent one. Against his mother's wishes, he joined Overwatch. Despite this, Dr. Angela Ziegler could not help but feel proud that her son was accepted into the ranks of the prestigious organization.

Your character's reason to join Overwatch: His desire to fight for the greater good.

Mentor: Mercy

Weapon(s): Assault rifle

Secondary Weapon: CQC (Close Quarters Combat; hand to hand)

Role: Offense

Basic Skill Set: Blackjack was an excellent mid- and close-range damage dealer. His assault rifle gave him decent DPS at range, while his CQC skills made him a terror in close combat. He was also a natural field leader capable of inspiring his allies to fight harder.

Skills:
1: Adrenaline: Blackjack can move faster, shoot more frequently, and hit harder for a brief period of time. Effectively, he temporarily increases his movement speed and damage per second at both range and melee.
2: Rapid Fire: Blackjack sacrifices sheer damage for the ability to accurately shoot multiple clustered targets in his vicinity. Injured targets are stunned, but sustain less damage.
3/Shift: Cover: Blackjack can interpose himself between a nearby ally and an enemy, taking the damage intended for his ally.
4 Ultimate: Aerial Bombardment: Blackjack can call on an aerial assault from an Overwatch orbital weapons platform. He must "paint" a target using a laser on his assault rifle for a period of time for this attack to hit.

 

[EddiEddi]

Name: Alexander Gladstone
Callsign: Phantom
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Height: 6'2
Weight:60kg
Nationality: British, (No stupid faux cockney accent, tracer shut up.)
Appearance:
Combat Armor

Out of Armour:

Personality:
Alexander is warm, friendly, and kind, but he isn't outspoken nor is he cocky or often found being overly social. His role on the field often marks him as a loner and this carries over to his normal life as well.

History:
Alexander was born in the mid west of england and has a very soft accent because of it. most people would call his accent 'refined' or 'posh' though he dosn't consider it as such. He found he had a very odd ability at a young age, be it by genetic fluke or by some kind of outside influence. Alexander was not only immune to, but invisible to radar, xray, infra red and most other scanners. It didn't take long for him to hear about overwatch and yearn to join them.

Your characters reason to join overwatch:
To make the world a more accepting place of those different of them, be they cyborgs, omnics, geneticly engineered monkies or a genetic hickup along the way.

Mentor:
Some time with Genji, some time with Symetra.


Weapon(s):
Asassins Pistol: 20 DMG body shot, x5 dmg on a headshot, no damage drop off, 6 round clip, same reload time as symetra. alt fire.
Secondary Weapon:
Toxic dagger, 50 Dmg strike, + 90 DMG over 5 seconds as poison.
Role: Support/Assassin
Basic Skill Set:
Skills:
1: Shadow Sphere, Phantom places a small marker orb, He can place one every 3 seconds, all allies within a 10m radius have their health bar hidden from foes and are protected from infra-sight and hanzo's marker arrow. After 3 seconds the radius decreases to 5M and after another 3 seconds fades.
2: Shadows Dash, A short range, damaging teleport, like Genji's dash, however, damage delt is that of the Toxic Dagger.
3/Shift: Phase Step, Shade pushes his ability further, phasing fully out of the real spectrum, becoming invisible for 5 seconds, However he cannot cap or contest in this state. Attacking will reveal him, however the first attack (the one that reveals him) Will deal 2x as much damage (This stacks with headshots, so a stealthed headshot deals 10x as much damage!) 10 second recharge, starts recharging immediately.
4 Ultimate: The Phantoms Dance, Phantom Teleports to the closest foe in LOS, stabbing them once with the toxic dagger, Then to the next foe in LOS from there, so on and so on untill either there are no-unstabbed foes, or there are non in LOS. While powerful this can leave Phantom over extended, or in the middle of the enemy team, or worse, off the edge of a cliff. This ability is often best used just after, or before a large team fight to weaken or finish off the enemy team. It is also a fantastic disruption ability.

Callsign: Killswitch
Age: ??
Gender: Male

History: Joseph doesn't remember much of his old life. The earliest memories he has are from a white lab setting where he was being tested with his new cybernetic body.

2: Cluster Rocket: Fires off three smart rockets that will follow targets.

[Kiddo]

Hey, out of curiousity: is there actually an Overwatch character with both a secondary weapon (or firing mode), and 4 skills? I can't find any. My understanding was that skills were mapped to LM, RM, Shift, E, and Q.

Now, if we're just going with "everyone gets 1 extra ability," that's also fine?

 

[EddiEddi]

Off the top of my head, Lucio 2 firing modes, 2 'abilities' and 1 activatable (Plus wallride). Mercy: 2 firing modes, 1 alt weapon, 1 passive, 1 activatable.
I can't think of anyone else. Unless we're including melee attacks (which I'm not in this work out) in which case the short answer is most people.

 

[Kiddo]

Mercy actually has two activatable abilities (Shift and Q). But she doesn't have an E to make up for her (1).

But, I meant excluding Passive abilities. For instance, Lucio has two firing modes, and a E, Q, and 1? Or is the stance change on Shift? But he doesn't have E, Q, stance change, and a movement ability, so he's still primary/alt fire and three abilities. This CS has spots for primary, alt fire, and 4 abilities.

 

[EddiEddi]

Fourth ability is Ult.
So, Lucio's ability would look like this
Weapon(s): A sonic cannon that fires pulses of shockwaves

Secondary Weapon/Alt Fire: A close range shockwave that throws foes back

Role:Support

Basic Skill Set: Speed bosts and heals all through music


1: Crossfade

2: Amp it Up

3 Wall Ride

4 Ultimate: Sound barrier

Notice that it includes movement abilities. Passives as well. so I think that the 'alt fire' can be replace with 'Alt weapon' EG my character's gun has 1 firing mode, but he has a alt weapon.

 

[Kiddo]

Alright, I suppose I'll rework my character with that in mind! Thanks

I am kinda on my own with this so far so I apologize for any confusion. But EddiEddi is onto it. I am leaving the character sheet very open at the moment since I'm the only gm active.

While he may not be that friendly, Erik will always hold up his end of the deal and makes sure that nobody gets left behind. While he is usually calm and collected, if something really gets on his nerves he is likely to become angry and violent.
History: Born in Germany to a poor mother whose husband had abandoned her, Erik always felt like he needed to be strong for others. Always getting in fights as a child over people who insulted his mother over her social status or lack of a supportive husband, Erik grew up learning how to take a beating. Enrolling in a military school, Erik learned of overwatch and their history. After graduating school, Erik sought out Reindhart and begged to become his pupil. After a bit of trial and error regarding Erik's temper, Reinhardt began teaching him everything he knew. Learning both Reinhardt's moral code and combat techniques, Erik proved to be a quick leaner. After completing his training, Reinhardt gave Erik a suit of heavy armor to inspire fear in his enemies and raise hope in his allies.
Your characters reason to join overwatch:

2: Charge: Erik charges with full force(like Reinhardt), knocking almost anyone or anything out of his way.

4 Ultimate: Napalm Inferno: Erik's weapon transforms into a heavy flamethrower that Uses the plasma discharge created from cooling the machine gun. The flamethrower shoots a stream of napalm about 20 feet and the napalm sticks to whatever it touches and burns intensely. Best used for cutting off attackers or burning out defenders. It has a limited ammo capacity so it can only be used for a short time.
