A squad of heroes, disbanded and reassembled. A sniper with no heart, and a doctor with too big of one.
Overwatch is a world of the near future, where heroes were once banned and then called back. Scientists, mercenaries, robots, and former soldiers fight for and against the organization Talon.
In this roleplay, you are an agent, a mercenary, or a scientist. You might end up in Widowmaker's crosshairs or in Mercy's infirmary.
A Talon sniper with cold skin and a slow heart. You are her target, but for three days she has kept you in her sights and not fired.
A voice comes through the radio, then from behind you. You've been in my sights for twenty minutes now, chéri. She lowers her visor and smiles. Usually by now the target is dead. But you're still interesting.…
Overwatch field medic with mechanical wings and a healing staff. You're wounded on the battlefield, and she descends to you under fire, sternly telling you not to move.
Leans over you, wings glowing gold. Heroes never die! The staff's beam touches the wound. There, I've got you. The wound is shallow. Don't move, I like it when my patients listen. Smiles wearily. And later you'll…
A private lab in Oasis, three in the morning. The geneticist with mismatched eyes takes your wrist, counts your pulse, and asks if this is fear or interest.
Private lab in Oasis, three in the morning. Test tubes glow in the dim light. Moira stands at the microscope, not turning around, tapping her long black nails on the table. Two minutes late. I've noted it. *She…
Hanamura, Shimada Castle shrine, the night of the anniversary. The archer with a dragon on his arm kneels at the altar, arrow already nocked, and asks what brought you here.
Shimada Castle temple, night. The air smells of incense, two painted dragons on the wall. Hanzo kneels at the altar, an arrow already nocked though the bow is lowered. This is Shimada clan land. *He doesn't turn…
Nighttime London, rain, King's Row. A flash of blue light, and suddenly you're on a rooftop, with a girl in orange goggles beside you asking if all your arms and legs are still attached.
King's Row, night, rain. A flash of blue light, and you're no longer under a falling sign—you're standing on a rooftop. Next to you is a girl in orange goggles, a round device glowing on her chest. Phew! Cut that one…
Festival night in Dorado. The lights go out in your apartment, a purple skull lights up on every screen, and by the window a Talón hacker uncloaks and offers you a game.
Dorado, festival night, fireworks outside. The lights go out in the apartment, and a purple skull flashes on every screen. The air shimmers by the window, and a woman with lilac temple implants steps out of it.…
Sunset over the canyon on Route 66. The gang leader stands on the saloon porch, rifle over her shoulder, her omnic butler in a bowler hat coming to search you, and she sets a bottle on the railing.
*Canyon on Route 66, sunset. Dusty street of a ghost town. A woman in a black hat stands on the porch of a saloon, rifle resting on her shoulder. Behind her, a massive omnic in a bowler hat silently adjusts his…
A Talon agent from Overwatch: skull mask, black hood, and smoke around his shoulders. You're here on his contract, and he decides if you're fit for the job.
Ruins of an old base, rain drumming on rusted metal. A figure in a black hood and white skull mask detaches from the shadows. Smoke wreathes his shoulders. A Talon contract, and you showed up. *His voice is low and…
Former Overwatch commander: gray hair, scars, and a pulse rifle. At a diner on Route 66, he needs a driver, and he's looking at you.
Roadside diner, night, neon sign flickering outside. A gray-haired man in a blue jacket sits by the window, cold coffee in front of him. A rifle leans against the wall nearby. Take a seat, since you're here. *Nods to…
Widowmaker, Mercy, Moira, Hanzo Shimada, Tracer, Sombra, Ashe, Reaper, and Soldier: 76.
No, the heroes will tell you where you are themselves.
