rules
-- { Forum Rules & Ghost Rules } - You have to follow the forum rules as well as the ghost rules here. Simple enough, right? -- { Literacy } - This is going to be a semi-advanced role-play, so I expect at least about three lines from you. That shouldn't be too hard at all. Please also have proper grammar and spelling in things and do not use text talk while in-character. -- { Activity } - I know, I know, everyone has school and everyone's at different areas within their life. Some of us are in middle school, some of us are already almost out of college. I graduated high school and am taking a small break. But asking you to be here three times a week isn't too much to ask, is it? -- { Plot Events } - I will try my best to schedule a major plot event when everyone's on, but that isn't always possible. If you aren't going to be on, please give one of us permission to use your characters when and only if it's absolutely needed. Otherwise we will just pretend like your character was just there. Reminder that with this plot, all characters will not be introduced right away. -- { Role-Playing } - Okay, okay... you guys should know what's allowed and what isn't. God-modding isn't allowed, which is making your character have way too much strength and speed and all that so it's not fair. Power-playing isn't really allowed, where you control the actions and choices of someone else's character without permission. Spot-lighting isn't allowed, which is when you make the role-play all about you and your character and make everything revolved around them. I think you guys should know better than this. We all know the restrictions of these characters, so don't go past that. -- { Characters } - You can only have a maximum of four characters, unless I give you specific permission on something like that. -- { Out Of Character } - Please use something to tell us when you're chatting and when you're rle-playing. I don't really ask of much. Just do that for me, please? Use [], {}, () or something similar when oorp. Simple enough, right? -- { Spamming } - I don't really allow spamming here. If you want to bring someone back to a role-play that they're in, I understand. But if you're just coming here to randomly advertise your thread, begone. This isn't on a billboard on the side of the high-way. So don't advertise here. -- { Romance } - All types of romance is allowed here. So do what you'd like. However, remember to keep it rated PG13 at all times and I want you to make sure it's okay with the other person before you make your character crush on theirs. Some people might not want their character to be involved with your character in the way you want, so try to be respectful of that. But remember, this isn't all about romance. Certain ships aren't going to be shipped everywhere. -- { Ults } - Okay, as funny as it would be to have everyone just randomly do their ultimates all at once, we aren't really going to have all the characters fight each other. We don't want to over-work Angela. Give her a break, pretty please? Thank you. Give the girl a break and let's not spam that you need healing. Ultimates and abilities in general do not work here like they do in the game and I will explain it below. -- { Fun } - Please remember to have fun! That's what this is all about, right?
They call me Winston, the gorilla with brains
joining There is no joining form, per say. However. When you join, I want you to give me a rp example. Say who you're claiming and give me a little rp sample. Or perhaps, a starter based off of mine.
And the full name of your character(s). Remember, you have a limit to four characters unless I state otherwise.
It's the Widowmaker, the finest sniper about So, basically, this role-play is one about the video game called Overwatch. It's a really good game. For those of you who don't know what Overwatch is, basically, it's a first-person shooter game that's always online and always multiplayer. You're always playing with others, no matter what. Well, unless you're in the tutorial or shooting range, where you get to study the characters you wish before you decide to go up against AI on the opposite team or other real players. There are twenty-five characters as of right now. And we definitely know they'll add more. but for now, there are twenty-five characters that you can play as, and in the standard modes of "Quick Play" and "Competitive Mode" only one person can be a single character at once on your team. There are six players on both teams. Most of it is not canon to the story-line, and mostly just for fun. You run around defending a certain point or attacking it, moving a payload to a certain spot or trying to stop the other team from moving the payload. It's a bunch of fun, to be fully honest and I highly suggest it.
However, this is not going to go exactly like the game as there is no real meaning nor plot to the game. It's just a game where you go up against other people for skill and that's it. So for a role-play, there needs to be a plot and a more realistic way to balance whatever the hell this mess of characters and abilities is.
I would like to say that this plot is influenced by the events of the fan-fiction called "Hang the Fool" and I highly suggest it as it's a great story. The author was able to balance reality with the world of Overwatch and I enjoyed it greatly. So for this, we're going to do a plot along those lines. Now, if you wish to role-play McCree, Reaper, Ana or Soldier: 76, I would suggest PMing me and asking me more about the plot because there is a huge plot based around those four.
In this world, Ultimates don't really work the way they do in the game. D.Va can't constantly recall her mech in such a short amount of time and it can hurt everyone around her if it self-destructs. Hanzo's dragons don't always come at his will and are picky. Genji's Dragon Blade takes up a ton of energy and effort and the dragon that is within him doesn't always come at will, like with Hanzo's dragons. Soldier: 76 doesn't really have that good of aim and can only get it upon a life or death situation. Tracer's pulse bomb is a one-time thing before she and Winston come up with a new one. McCree's Deadeye hurts him and causes the energy to just drain out of him. You get the limits, right?
Symmetra's shield can go to anyone given the technology. Anyone can really do anything as long as it works together. Remember you have to be reasonable with everything and if you have any questions, you can just ask me.

plot
x Heroes Will Always Be Remembered There is never an end to crime, that much is for certain. But things have gotten worse and worse to the point of which it's hard to go outside without something bad happening to you. This is why Overwatch was called back together. However, this is highly illegal by having everyone around, operating as the team that was supposed to be disbanded. They're here to help, but it's going to be tricky. We can only try to do our best. It's just... how long until something horrid happens?
The Overwatch is comin'
past plots nothin' to see here, move along

offense
x. Genji .x Genji Shimada is a Japanese cyborg ninja who has freed himself from his criminal past and the war with his cybernetic body. He flings precise and deadly Shurikens at his targets, and uses his technologically-advanced wakizashi to deflect projectiles or deliver a Swift Strike that cuts down enemies. He holds a long katana that he only uses when summoning the Spirit of the North Dragon, the blade being called his "Dragon Blade" that will cut down enemies in his path. { taken }
x. McCree .x Jesse McCree is a western styled cowboy. He is an outlaw gunslinger and former gang member who fights for the principle of righteousness. Using his Peacekeeper, McCree takes out targets with deadeye precision and dives out of danger with eagle-like speed. He has a Southern drawl to his voice and is known to have an amazing aim. He has stun bombs on him that stun his opponents just long enough to get a deadly shot that he needs to win the battle. He is American. { taken }
x. Pharah .x Fareeha Amari, known as Pharah, is a security captain who yearns to protect the world's peace, like the heroes in her past. Soaring through the air in her combat armor, and armed with a launcher that lays down high-explosive rockets, Pharah is a force to be reckoned with. She's unique in the Overwatch by being the only one of them able to fly, making her hard to hit and make everyone else easy prey to her rockets. She is Egyptian. { open }
x. Reaper .x Some speak of a black-robed terrorist known only as the Reaper. His identity and motives are a mystery. What is known is that where he appears, death follows. His Hellfire Shotguns, the ghostly ability to become immune to damage, and the power to step between shadows make Reaper one of the deadliest beings on Earth. The Reaper, with the real name of his being Gabriel Reyes, is an extremely volatile mercenary, a ruthless and remorseless killer responsible for terrorist attacks across the world. He has fought in many armed conflicts in the last decades, showing no loyalty to any cause or organization. He appears to be Spanish. { taken }
x. Solider: 76 .x Soldier: 76, once having the name of Jack Morrison, is one of the heroes in Overwatch. He is a vigilante who aims to bring the enemies who brought down his former organization to the light of justice. Armed with cutting-edge weaponry, including an experimental pulse rifle that’s capable of firing spirals of high-powered Helix Rockets, Soldier: 76 has the speed and support know-how of a highly trained warrior. While his true identity remains a mystery, he is believed to have been trained as a member of the American "soldier enhancement program." He possesses physical capabilities exceeding those of a conventional soldier's, as well as other augmentations that make him a peerless combatant. In addition, he utilizes a cutting-edge arsenal, much of it stolen in raids on Overwatch installations. He is American. { open }
x. Sombra .x Stealth and debilitating attacks make Sombra a powerful infiltrator. Her hacking can disrupt her enemies, ensuring they're easier to take out, while her EMP provides the upper hand against multiple foes at once. Sombra’s ability to Translocate and camouflage herself makes her a hard target to pin down. She appears to be a bit mechanical, though by choice, unlike most. Her real name is unknown, gone and lost. She is Spanish. { open }
x. Tracer .x The British former Overwatch agent Lena Oxton, known as Tracer, is a time-jumping adventurer and an irrepressible force for good. She is always willing to fight for the virtuous in the face of her life-threatening chronal disassociation condition. Toting twin pulse pistols, energy-based time bombs, and rapid-fire banter, Tracer is able to "blink" through space and rewind her personal timeline as she battles to right wrongs the world over. { open }
Overwatch is back in town
defense x. Bastion .x Bastion is an omnic wanderer formerly built to be a war combatant, who is now travelling to satisfy its curiosity about nature and leave its horrifying past behind.

x. Junkrat .x Australian accented Jamison Fawkes is a demolitionist and an international criminal who is being targeted by law-keepers, bounty hunters and other criminals world-wide for the treasure in his possession. Junkrat’s area-denying armaments include a Frag Launcher that lobs bouncing grenades, Concussion Mines that send enemies flying, and Steel Traps that stop foes dead in their tracks. Watch out for his Rip-Tire. { taken }
x. Mei .x Mei-Ling Zhou is a Chinese climatologist who is on her own adventure to preserve the environment and ecosystem after waking up from a decade-long cryostasis sleep. Mei’s weather-altering devices slow opponents and protect locations. Her Endothermic Blaster unleashes damaging icicles and frost streams, and she can Cryo-Freeze herself to guard against counterattacks, or obstruct the opposing team's movements with an Ice Wall. { open }
x. Torbjörn .x Torbjörn Lindholm is a Swedish engineer specializing in advanced weapon design and is determined to keep his inventions from falling into the wrong hands. His extensive arsenal includes a rivet gun and hammer, as well as a personal forge that he can use to build upgrade-able turrets and dole out protective armor packs. Short, but dangerous nonetheless, do not underestimate him. { open }
x. Widowmaker .x Amélie Lacroix, is a French assassin who possesses no emotion except for the satisfaction of her targets' elimination.

If you're not a hero, don't stick around tanks x. D. Va .x Hana Song is a former professional Korean gamer and a mech pilot who is participating in her country's special force to combat a colossal omnic's devastating invasion. D.Va’s mech is nimble and powerful—its twin Fusion Cannons blast away with autofire at short range, and she can use its Boosters to barrel over enemies and obstacles, or deflect attacks with her projectile-dismantling Defense Matrix. { taken }
x. Orisa .x Orisa is a guardian omnic built in Nigeria who currently existed for only a month but has been already taking the role of her city's protector. She serves as the central anchor of her team, and defends her teammates from the frontline with a protective barrier. She can attack from long range, fortify her own defenses, launch graviton charges to slow and move enemies, and deploy a Supercharger to boost the damage output of multiple allies at once. { open }
x. Reinhardt .x Reinhardt Wilhelm is a German wandering knight who continues to fight for justice and defend the innocence undeterred by the toll of his age. Clad in powered armor and swinging his hammer, Reinhardt leads a rocket-propelled charge across the battleground and defends his squadmates with a massive energy barrier. { taken }
x. Roadhog .x Australian Make Rutledge is a bodyguard and an international criminal who is infamous for being an unforgiving cutthroat with a destructive and cruel nature.

He’s hardy enough to withstand tremendous damage, and can recover his health with a short breather. { open }
x. Winston .x Winston is a super-intelligent, genetically engineered gorilla,. He's a brilliant scientist and a champion for humanity's potential.

I did the coding for the role-play and I typed everything out, however, I do not own this idea. The theme song of the layout is a song called "Heroes Never Die" by JT Machinima. Please do not steal my work! Thank you!

(I'm interested in this roleplay but I don't have a lot of time right now. I could probably do an RP sample tomorrow if you'd let me reserve D.Va and maybe Sombra? I understand if you're reluctant to let me claim anything without an RP sample but I just wanted to pop in and let you know I'm interested in this. :3)

It had been years since he had been here. This place that had been a reminder as to what had happened those ten years ago. But he had gotten the notification, just has everyone else had. Gibraltar. A twisting, interesting place that saved his life. It was here that he had gotten the body that he currently had. It was here that he was practically brought back from the dead. Where he met Jack, Gabriel, Jesse, Angela, Lena, Ana, Reinhardt, Winston. He met them all here. Memories were made here. The testing to make sure that his body worked perfectly, agreeing to be in the Overwatch. The anger that had consumed him, the frustration and anger within him about his situation, the fact that his life before had been completely ripped from him and torn away. Everything he ever knew, gone. Everyone he ever loved, turned their back on him.
This place had a beauty that Genji could never have seen before, consumed in his rage, his emotions that battled within him. He hopped down from atop one of the higher bridges, landing silently and easily. Rising up from his crouch, the cyborg walked up towards the open doorway. Traveling around, when he got the call, he had currently been in North America, which was why he had gotten here at a different time. Of course, everyone was spread out, so people could be expected to arrive at different times. Still, there was a certain face he hoped he would be able to see here. He had been given the chance, now he just needed to act on it.
"Howdy there," a lightly Southern drawled voice called out from his left.
"Greetings," Genji responded back to the cowboy, whom was cleaning his Peacekeeper. McCree gave a little smile and twirled his gun, putting it back in his holster. It didn't seem like he was the only one a little nervous about going back in there. Overwatch had been shut down and this whole thing was completely illegal. And the fight that tore it apart was something that could make anyone hesitant to go back.
"Think it's still gonna be chaos in there?" the cowboy asked, standing up from leaning against the rock.
"I do not know," he responded, looking back in the large doorway. Heels lightly hit pavement behind Genji, making both of them look up to see the angelic figure behind them. Behind the helmet, a smile came to the cyborg's lips, McCree giving a small chuckle. "Angela, hello."
"Hello there-" the Swiss medic began, but she gave a startled yelp as a large body dropped down behind them all.
"Are we all having a group meeting out here or are we going to go inside? I apologize for the mess if that's what keeping you." Genji smiled a bit more.
"Yo, Winston." Was this just a greeting party? Typically Overwatch where everyone literally constantly says hello to each other. That's half the game-play right there. Genji walked inside, Angela and McCree following after him. The cowboy gave a long whistle, the sound echoing around the rocky area.
"Been quite a few years since I've been back in here," McCree stated with a small laugh.
"Likewise. It's quite a lot better than what I'm used to these days," Angela agreed, giving a soft sigh. Genji stayed quiet, taking in the sight once again. It was quite a sight to see again, though a little more run down than what his memory had him remember. It appeared that they were among the first to arrive here, which was a little surprising. Though, it seemed like McCree and Angela had gotten here before Genji. Of course, Winston lived here, so it's only natural that he would be here. A figure hovering in the air took him by surprise.
"Master!" he stated, a little surprised. Zenyatta had arrived here before him? That was quite a surprise. "You arrived here before me?"
"He got here before I did," Angela said, going up the stairs to check out the area that she had worked in for quite some time. Five of the Overwatch were here. There was still time to see the person that Genji was looking for. While it was nice to see Angela in person again and it was nice to see that his master had gotten here before he did, and it was nice to see McCree and Winston too. But there was still one person that he was hoping would show up.
"Give him some time, Genji," a female voice stated, bringing Genji out of his thoughts. He turned to see Angela's hand on his shoulder and then looked back at the doorway. "It might take a little while, but I'm sure that he'll show up. He was offered the choice to show up."
"Hmm? Who?" Winston asked, looking up from moving some pieces of technology around. Genji stayed silent. Winston's look softened a little. "Ah, yes. He was offered among the recall, Genji. It showed he was a bit away, so give him some time. Though how you got here so quickly definitely intrigues me."
Genji looked back at the doorway and then moved up to the second level, going out to the balcony and sitting down atop of one of the larger boxes. He had a view of the whole area of the entrance. If he was to see anyone, or spot any trouble, he would be among the first to see. Now, who would show up, only time would tell. It was kind of a feeling that made him uneasy. He didn't want to be around an internal fight, not like the one that tore Overwatch apart. Of course, he had left before then. Once the Shimada Empire had been taken down, he went off on his own and met Zenyatta and became who he was today. Even so... the possibility made him slightly nervous.
Time to see who would show up.
