    I could come up with new characters for days. Some that I'd like to see include - an unassuming old lady who knows martial arts; another intelligent animal like a wolf, but unlike Winston they can't talk; a female character who isn't slim and busty; Someone with fire powers, and they can use them to propel themselves across the map but in a very erratic manner, where you could fly into a wall and kill yourself. The character would have a very high skill cap; more villains and more omnics. Villain omnics, with sort of like an Ultron vibe.

    Name: Sin
    Real name: Unknown
    Age: 27
    Occupation: recruitment specialist and trainer
    Base of operations: Bucharest (Romania)
    Affiliation: None.

    Abilities and weapon types:
    Military assault rifle + 1-handed blade and shield
    1. Unleash Hell - unload the clip of your rifle towards a general direction.
    2. Shields up - raise your shield to protect yourself from incoming weapon fire.
    3. Quantum Leap - jump in the air towards a target direction.
    4. Whirlwind charge - charge towards an enemy then unleash a whirlwind of dancing blades killing everyone around you.

    Motto: Fight for peace, not for the annihilation of your enemy.
    Lore: Not much is known about Sin as she does not like to talk about her former life. What is known is that during the robot war she was a simple HR specialist for a random company. Bucharest, like many other cities, was hit hard by the war and soon the automatons started pouring out inside the city. The building she worked in was bombarded and it was starting to crumble but she was saved by her best friend. They both decided that it's best to leave the city and head towards the mountains, but before they could do that the frontline got to them. They were both thought how to use rifles and thrown on the front line for survival, as many around them were.
    They survived for a while and got quite good, but at one point they were on a narrow street fighting machines when one of them shot his rocket launcher and wrecked a building. The debris started falling on Sin's friend. She ran to save him, but could not get him out of the rubble path in time. She was also wounded in there and lost a her left arm and her left eye which she later replaced with robotic parts. While her friend did not die, he has been in a coma ever since. Sin still visits him at the hospital every month hoping he would one day wake up and everything could be better again but she has sworn she will never let others lose those they care about due to war, greed and ruin and she will fight for peace.

    Looks: an athletic woman with curly hair caught in a tail, a shield on her back and sword at her hip and her assault rifle in hand. She wears a battle-armour similar to the gandarmerie of white and black colours. Here's a link to how the gendarmerie looks:

    Yup, I thought it would be kind of ironic in a way, it's because she feels she has sinned in fighting for annihilation of the other side in the early days when she should have been fighting for peace, people doing that only made the war longer, the automatons, while machines, could think logic and could have been reasoned with.

    Name: Professor Steve
    Real Name: Markheim Stevenson
    Age: 37
    Occupation: Scientist
    Base of operation: London
    Affiliation: Unkown

    Tank

    Abilities:

    1. Poison Fumes: His fuminator gun spews out toxic gas poisoning enemies the longer it is applied.
    2. Teleport Pad: Throw the pad at an area for you to teleport to immediately.
    3. Shield Toss: Can toss up to 3 shields to targeted locations.
    4. Transform: Let your alter ego take over and transform into a robotic monster absorbing mass damage and encoding remaining shields from your Shield Toss surround you.

    His appearance: A cyborg. Half man, half robot. Normal height. When transformed he grows and his robotic parts take over replicating its perception of a human cyborg monstrosity. Wears ripped pants and a ruined lab coat.

    Lore:

    Growing up in London he suffered from split personality disorder. Spent his life becoming a professor trying to fix his disease. He was raided and nearly murdered by rebellious robots. When his apprentice found him, he used his background in science and surgery to fuse Stevenson's near lifeless body with cyborg parts. Awakened, Stevenson thought to be cured. But soon found his brain had a chip to help keep his mind together. But what really happened, was it split the second violent personality from his brain, into the chip. This did not cure him, but forced the cyborg side to gain a personality that may take over when the Professor has a episode or split personality trip. The second robot personality is on the hunt to kill the Professors assistant. The assistant was said to flee earth for more reasons than one. The second personality represents rage, his endless hunt for the assistant, which he often proclaims when he is transformed: "I'm coming for you Winston."

    Oddly enough i was just thinking about this a day or two ago.

    Name: Blackhawk
    Age: 31
    Real Name: Kolten Trine
    Occupation: Explorer
    Base of Operations: Unknown
    Affiliation: Unknown

    Abilities:
    Combination Blades: Blackhawk carries two blades that can retract back into his suit, allowing to fire the laser pistols hidden within it.

    Mode Swap: Blackhawk changes the mode of his Combination Blades

    Disengage: Blackhawk stuns everyone nearby then leaps backwards taking with him a friendly character he stunned.

    Shockwave: Blackhawk slams the ground knocking everyone nearby off their feet. Enemies are also knocked backwards.

    Ultimate Assault Strike: Blackhawk jumps to a location and fires 3 shots. If he hits someone, he jumps at them and attacks them relentlessly for 3 seconds with his blades(this can only affect one person.) Any allies he hits are pushed backwards away from combat instead.

    Catchphrase: Unity Leads to Perfection.
    Kolten was a soldier in the Omnic Crisis, one of the best in his unit. During the second year of the war however, he lost both of his arms when a group of Omnics attacked the camp, killing nearly 20 people before being brought down. While in the hospital a messenger from the military came to him with a special request. Kolten had been selected to join project Blackhawk, a top secret military project where wounded soldiers who wanted to return to the battlefield were merged with a robotic suit that would allow them to the fight stronger then ever. He agreed and was connected with his suit. The project was a success and he along with the other fifty soldiers geared up to return to battle. Tragedy struck that night however when the facility was destroyed killing everyone but him. To honor his fallen friends, Kolten took on the name Blackhawk as his own an guided the other soldiers on the battlefield to victory. He was asked to join Overwatch and agreed. He left however when he discovered that they had become corrupt and no longer represented Unity, Harmony, and Justice to go explore the world and help others whenever possible. When rumors of Overwatch's return began to spread however, he made it his mission to bring them together once again.


    Sorry if the backstory is too long i wanna use the character in a short story I'm starting so I had a lot of stuff on him. There is another survivor of Project: Blackhawk but I'm not sure if i want to create him as an Overwatch character or not.

    Here's one I came up with over on the subreddit. Mostly word-for-word and focuses more on gameplay.

    Name: River
    Age: 29
    Real Name: Keri Dyre
    Occupation: Traveler
    Base of Operations: None
    Affiliation: None

    Description: A mage-type character that wields water/ice.
    Role: Defense

    Health: 250
    Speed: Average

    Attacks & Abilities:

    Torrent [M1] - Single water projectiles that arc slightly. Similar to Zenyatta's M1. Low-ish damage.

    Arctic Bite [M2] - A shotgun-type blast of ice shards. Short range, slow fire rate. Medium to very high damage based on distance.

    Surf [SHIFT] - A "ride the waves" travel ability. Surf on a visible patch of generated water for a short distance. Turn direction with mouse. Causes knockback. Low damage. Can combo with Torrent and Arctic Bite.

    Boiling Geyser [E] - Create a geyser of boiling water at target location. Initial eruption causes damage and throws enemies skyward. Touching the geyser at any point inflicts a damage over time condition. Geyser is active for 5 seconds.

    Winter's Sanctuary [Q] - Shroud the surrounding area in a large but calm blizzard. Vision is slightly lowered. Enemies that enter the blizzard are slowed and take damage over time. Allies in the blizzard slowly regenerate health. Lasts 8 seconds.

    Playstyle: The intent here is to have a character that excels in defense but doesn't necessarily need to be a stationary powerhouse to do it. Instead, much of River's defense comes in the form of placeable area denial and disrupting enemy approach. Can deal very high damage up close and is rewarded for combining skills, but mostly focuses on applying DoT and keeping enemies away.

    - Torrent is a standard attack.

    - Arctic Bite is there largely to serve as the high damage ability. Decent on its own, but can also be fired at any point during the Surf animation, allowing River to close a gap, deal a big blow, and then knock them back. Requires timing to pull off - executing Arctic Bite just before they get knocked back is crucial.

    - Surf can only be activated on the ground. Its use is to close short gaps rather than give a defensive hero too much mobility. Knockback promotes point defense and disruption.

    - Boiling Geyser goes a long way in objective protection. Meant to deter enemy approach, this is another ability that opens juggle opportunities by causing a launch effect. Beyond that, it's an AoE that applies DoT.

    - Winter's Sancutary is a tricky one. I wanted a defensive ability that also matched River's style. It covers a slightly larger area than Winston's shield but doesn't actually act like a shield. Enemies can fire into the shroud but allies regen slowly. Enemies inside are slowed very slightly and take a stronger DoT than from Boiling Geyser. Can be summoned on a point or in a choke to disrupt and deter enemy activity.

    :P here's mine so far.

    Name: Mage (or Firestarter)
    Age: 43
    Real Name: Afshin Azarfar
    Previous Occupation : Military researcher at Overwatch
    Current Occupation: researcher and field operative at The Remnants. The Remnants is formed by high ranking Ex-Overwatch members. and works to restore the Overwatch to some extent.
    Base of Operations: The Nest, a floating base somewhere in the Caspian sea
    Nationality : Iran
    Quote : "You're not heat-intolerant, are you? we'll see."
    Affiliation: Overwatch

    Biography : Afshin grew up on the southern shores of the Caspian sea, before the Omnic Crisis he was a military researcher working on new technology to replace the nearly-depleted fossil fuels. His work resulted in G-fuel : a gel-like substance that burns relentlessly when exposed to the oxygen in earth's atmosphere. Before the final work could be completed however the Omnic Crisis took the earth by surprise. the project was cancelled due to low funding and the lab was given to the Overwatch. Afshin began working with Overwatch with an utter bitterness but, as weeks passed on, he became more interested in Overwatch's core beliefs and what they stood for. Mage was the nickname given to him by his fellow researchers due to his tendency to keep a well-groomed long beard and due to the fires that broke out in his lab as a result of G-fuel mishandling. When the Overwatch was disbanded Afshin was invited by a small group of ex-overwatch members to join The Remnants : a group that is trying to reform Overwatch without the mistakes that eventually destroyed the first one. He relocated to a small secret facility in the Caspian Sea which is a floating Overwatch headquarters. Due to lack of manpower Afshin chose to become a field operator as well as a researcher, with Mage becoming his code name. Equipped with a gear which uses G-fuel, he has made sure his previous research would serve him well in the field.

    Description: Mage is a middle-age man sporting a classy mustache and a long groomed beard. He is equipped with a pair of Phoenix-Gauntlets. Using these gauntlets Mage can shoot fireballs (compressed G-fuel in shape of pellets) and create walls of flame in an instant (G-fuel sprayed in the air). Mage wears special fire-proof outfit, including a navy overcoat which shields him from any accidental fire damage inflicted to him by the Phoenix Gauntlets. He is also equipped with a pair of Thruster-boots, Mage uses these boots to make long jumps. in order to safely land and avoid breaking any bones the mage uses a special exoskeleton suit that reduces the landing impact. Mage powers his equipment via a small high-tech battery installed on the back of his exoskeleton suit. the exoskeleton is not a bulky power armor, it only provides him with boosted hydrolics capability. (imagine the exo suits from CoD:AW and the exo suits that we have today.)

    - Phoenix Gauntlets fire G-Fuel pellets, it was previously mentioned that G-fuel is a highly flammable substance that starts to burn quickly upon contacting the oxygen in the air. giving an impression that the mage is shooting "fireballs" from his hands.

    - G-fuel is also used in Mage's boots, it can create enough energy to propel him to the air by burning the special gel in small combustion engines located below the boots.

    Role: Offense

    Health: 280
    Speed: fast

    Attacks & Abilities:

    Fireball (Mouse Left Click) - shoots a single fireball projectile at the targeted area with the left hand. does not auto-lock on enemies. can be used midair.

    Fireball (Mouse Right Click) - shoots a single fireball projectile at the targeted area with the right hand. does not auto-lock on enemies. can be used midair.

    Flashfire (Mouse Left Hold) - Charges up and unleashes a strong firewall with the left hand, Firewall hits targets infront of the mage for strong damage but it has a short range. does not pass through walls. can be used midair.

    Flashfire (Mouse Right Hold) - Charges up and unleashes a strong firewall with the right hand, Firewall hits targets infront of the mage for strong damage but it has a short range. does not pass through walls. can be used midair.

    NOTE : two Flashfires can be charged at once by holding both mouse buttons, they can separately be used when player releases the related mouse button.

    Blazing Leap (shift) - Jumps high (about 6 meters) and then falls on the ground.

    Blazing Leap (Shift while midair) - uses the thrusters to thrust forward and land on targeted location with high speed, creating a scorched earth upon impact which damages enemies located in the impact zone.

    Phoenix Orb [E] - special attack, throws a special Sphere-shaped Drone at the targeted location. Phoenix Orb activates 2 seconds after hitting and attaching itself the targeted area. once Activated the Orb quickly flies up & slams itself into the nearest enemy, upon impact the Orb sprays a small amount of G-fuel towards the target, resulting in a small explosion on it's surface... the explosion mortally wounds the target, afterwards the Orb will, without delay, bounce off and slam into the next enemy and repeating the same pattern... the Orb hits 4 enemies in quick succession before losing power. if the enemy is covered behind an obstacle the orb hits the obstacle instead and seeks another enemy. (best way to counter the orb is to take cover quickly after spotting it.

    Playstyle:

    - Fireball is the standard attack, cooldown speed is slow. you have to time your mouse clicks so that the fireballs can cover eachother's delays. (left click, right click, left click, right click... )

    - Flashfire is good to clear a room of enemies especially if both mouse buttons are held. which causes Firewall when the buttons are unleashed.

    - Flashfire and Fireball can be used separately, Mage can cast Fireball with left click while holding right button to charge a flashfire. so that he can use to finish off enemies when they get too close.

    - Shift can be used to quickly get out of sticky situations OR make a fiery entry into a situation, or both.

    - Phoenix Orb can be used to break enemies out of entrenched positions. and to hit enemies who are not using cover. best used in big rooms.

    Mage is great at making a scene : he comes in, wreaks havoc, and then escapes before anyone can react. but once spotted he needs to quickly move out because he has a low healthpool and has zero defense capabilities. He also has weak long-range abilities meaning that in open maps he needs to take cover or he gets sniped out pretty easy. but Mage causes great damage at medium to short range, and most of his abilities are AoE, so he's great at clearing an area full of unsuspecting enemies.

    I like both of these but they also have (in my opinion ) the same problem, they use magic. Blizzard seems to have avoided using any magic whatsoever in this game and I personally like that. They aren't bad characters, they have great moves and interesting play styles I just kind of wanted to see it remain all technology.

    oh..ermm... I don't see how my character uses "magic" :P. He is mage only in name.

    EDIT : edited the post, to explain the fireball mechanism further. think I have to create a backstory about the gel, the idea itself needs alot of polishing.

    Firewall (Both Mouse Hold) - this is not a separate ability but rather a technique. by holding both mouse buttons mage conjures a very strong firewall and unleashes it to damage the enemies infront of him. it is a flashfire x 2, which deals double the damage a Flashfire does. can be used midair.

    Blazing Leap (shift) - Jumps high (about 6 meters) and then falls on the ground.

    Phoenix Fall (Shift while midair) - uses the thrusters to thrust forward and land on targeted location with high speed, creating a scorched earth upon impact which damages enemies located in the impact zone.

    Evasive Maneuver [Q] - Uses thrusters and Gauntlets to quickly thrust himself backwards and into the air while scorching the area he previously stood, good melee countering skill if used timely.

    Phoenix Orb [E] - special attack, throws a special Orb at the targeted location, the Orb is actually a Drone. Phoenix Orb activates 2 seconds after hitting and attaching itself the targeted area. once Activated the Orb quickly flies up & slams itself into the nearest enemy, upon impact the Orb creates a small explosion on it's surface... which mortally wounds the target, afterwards the Orb will, without delay, bounces off and slams to the next enemy, repeating the same pattern... and then the next enemy... the Orb hits 4 enemies in quick succession before losing power. if the enemy is covered behind an obstacle the orb hits the obstacle instead and seeks another enemy.

    - Shift can be used to quickly get out of sticky situations OR make a fiery entry into a situation, or both.

    - Evasive Maneuvers can be used when Mage is approached by a melee attacker, or by an unsuspecting ranged attacker. Mage can quickly run away and attack the area he previously stood, which will most likely the place the enemy is moving to.

    - Phoenix Orb can be used to break enemies out of entrenched positions. and to hit enemies who are not using cover. best used in big rooms.

    Mage is great at making a scene : he comes in, wreaks havoc, and then escapes before anyone can react. but once spotted he needs to quickly move out because he has a low healthpool and has zero defense capabilities. He also has weak long-range abilities meaning that in open maps he needs to take cover or he gets sniped out pretty easy. but Mage causes great damage at medium to short range, and most of his abilities are AoE, so he's great at clearing an area full of unsuspecting enemies.

    Funny you mention that - I brought this up on the subreddit myself. They definitely seem to be leaning on technology, and magic doesn't really exist in this universe so far. Although, I also highlighted unexplained abilities like Reaper being able to turn into shadowy smoke and vanish. I wonder if it's technology behind that.

    I only really came up with those abilities because I usually play mages first in anything even remotely RPG-ish or character-driven. Honestly, you could swap out the notion that those are natural powers with the notion that they're artificial. I'd just like to see at least a couple of characters that fight with the elements.

    hey it's my first character :P be gentle on the rookie. removed evasive maneuvers and Firewall. Mage now has 4 abilities :

    1# Fireball

    2# Flash Fire

    3# Blazing Leap

    4# Phoenix Orb

    Mage is special because he can cast his #1 and #2 attacks at once, one with each hand. the attack speed of his primary abilities (#1&2) is slow to compensate for his unique play style.

    the robot-human war is called the Omnic Crisis.

    I like it so far, but the shotgun part doesn't really fit her don't you think? :P toxin debuff is cool.
