#Overwatch is Back (Main Verse)

[lctibule]

distracting myself from The Bad Thoughts™ by scrolling back through my old mirage blog (i sometimes forget there was a time where he was kind of my main muse tbh...) so i can fill in his bio for the new carrd and just. found the time in his overwatch verse where he accidentally called jack dad instead of sir akjshksdf

[wellthebardsdead]

So I played a bit of Starfield and. I hate it.

“Oh but it’s just skyrim in spa-” no, no it’s not. It’s got none of skyrims lore, the story feels like generic insert space sci-fi here. And I got bored of it after trying and I mean REALLY trying to get into it for 7 hours.

“Oh but it’s got heaps of content and gameplay time-” I don’t care, if it can’t hook me in after 7 hours it can’t hook me in at all. I didn’t enjoy the fallout games and I don’t like sci-fi. The 3 sci-fi related things I’ve enjoyed are mass effect, Overwatch and dr who.

Sci-fi to me feels too close to our modern times, lifeless, boring, space is cool yes but it’s been over done to hell and back and there’s little room for added creativity when bound so closely to our reality. One of if not the main conflict of the game is called ‘the colony wars.’ Okay so it’s the Jedi verses the empire, or the entire plot of outer worlds, like- you have the whole universe to be explored and we’re still focused on bullshit civil fighting like we’re already dealing with here on earth?

“Oh but there’s a rare mineral to unlock the secrets of the universe” rare mineral yeah, so Avatar then. And we start the game off as a miner, a drone worker and our whole task is to mine for this rare ore, soooo exciting 🙄.

Yes skyrim has a civil war going on, the elder scrolls certainly has its problems. But it’s so disconnected from our reality and full of mystery and intrigue that alone can get you invested, the scenery and art is captivating and full of life and starfields like fallouts is lifeless. At least fallout had some rustic charm to it, starfields is too clean, too polished, too lifeless.

Honestly I regret spending the money on it, and even more so I spent my one day off playing that instead of baldurs gate, skyrim, bloodborne or literally anything else.

[raphaelapproves]

I do not want to terrify any of you or myself with the sheer number of blogs I have, but the ones tied in with Baldur's Gate or easily adapted to it will be listed all together in this post [ and I will probably add/link it to it in a pinned post on my blogs as well so it's easy to know what blogs are mine ].

First, to explain, I get hyperfocused on things and end up with a ton of muses [ Tolkien, Marvel, DC, mythology, gaming, etc ], and each one [ usually, though some are constants ] goes dormant for a bit while I hyperfocus on another thing--and sometimes manage to mesh and adapt several things into whatever the current thing is, as witnessed by spareastory because I still love all the things, my focus has just pivoted. I periodically cycle back around again, usually when some thing has perked back up the braincells in regards to that thing. Sometimes multiple co-exist at the same time, sometimes they just keep to a cycle. Sometimes it's a little of all of it.

My brain is just like this. It's always been like this. I have a wheel of special interests and it spins to whatever has the most to keep the braincells interested. The last long-stint hyperfixation was Overwatch and that was eight (8) or so months. Before that was Final Fantasy VII. Baldur's Gate is going on seven (7), I think, and I don't see it going away anytime soon because it has everything I love to write and I can adapt so many of my other favorite things into it.

So I know I have a lot of blogs and, trust me, I don't expect anyone to follow all of them, but that's kind of the explanation as to why they're here and why I share them from time to time.

With that said, here is the list of the current BG3 and related blogs in case any of them do appeal to anyone, a sort of menu, as it were, to pick and choose from as, when, and if you like:

ACTUAL BG3 BLOGS

@thishouseofhope // MAIN // Raphael and some HoH NPCs

@dirgeforthedead // MAIN // Perhaps slightly canon-divergent Dark Urge

@morethandarkness // MAIN // a drow multimuse for canon, original, and adapted

@spareastory // MAIN // a catch all multi for BG3, anybody who doesn't have their own blog; Canon, original, and adapted muses present [ Among these can be found Counsellor Florrick, Guex, Asharak, Rugan, Klaus, Tiernan, and Alan the Bartender, as well as muses adapted from WoW, mobile games such as Raid and EverLegion and Path to Nowhere, as well as muses from film, television, other video games and literature ]

@thefaithbroken // SIDE // Zevlor

@immenselytalented // SIDE // Rolan; may or may not just shift to my multi, we'll see. I do really love the url but.

@darkeningdawn // SIDE // OC daughter of Lathander

@stalwartprotector // MAIN // Halsin, but he's been very quiet so he's basically on hiatus

@theperilsofadventure // SIDE // This is going to be a multi/experiment in very loose DM'ing to an extent for little mini adventures within BG3 canon/verse, if anyone is interested. I just got a bestiary book and there are several beings and such that interested me, like the Old Man with the Canaries, Stone Giants, Storm Giants, etc. And, of course, owlbears and such. I have never DM'd and I do not know any official rules. This would basically just function like an RP account, but a condensed version of what I do with my many accounts, as explained in this post here.

@lathandertolight // SIDE // Lathander

@selunetoguide // SIDE // Selûne

@kelemvortojudge // SIDE // Kelemvor

MISCELLANEOUS

@andpassageprovide // SIDE // Thanatos, adapted from Greek mythology // SIDE

@lionofthealliance // MAIN // King Varian Wrynn from WoW; has a BG3 verse

@neveraguardian // SIDE // Khadgar from WoW; has a BG3 verse

@glamglitterandgoblins // SIDE // Jareth, the Goblin King; I'd say he has a BG3 verse, but it's pretty much just his regular verse but with access to BG3. Jareth is Jareth. I draw heavily from the movie, but also the comics that released regarding a prequel to Labyrinth. Great comics, if you haven't read them

@nosehabladebruno // SIDE // Bruno Madrigal; was a main, moved him to a side so that I could write him more easily, absolutely will have a BG3 verse

@lovebeyondproof // SIDE // Alice and Cyrus [ who is a genie ] from Once Upon a Time in Wonderland; its main verse can basically fit right into BG3

NEW VERSE!

I posted this pin a few nights ago [ pictured below but linked for credit ], and said that it gave me ideas, namely:

What if Gabe didn't become Reaper? What if he was in 76's place/doing the same type thing?

So, basically, the premise of this is that when the explosion happened, Gabe took some pretty significant damage, but not as bad as he does in main verse––whether because he wraithed at the right time or the rubble fell just right. Whatever the reason, his injuries weren't as severe.

But he knew that he couldn't come back from this. The fight with Jack wasn't something that could just be shrugged off, and certainly not when it set off an explosion like that. [ Even if by my theory, he wasn't the one who set it off. ] Unable to find Jack in the rubble before he started hearing the sirens, he assumes Jack is dead and slips away into the shadows.

Here is where the real divergence from 76's path begins.

Because no matter his don't step to me, I'm the boss outlook, Gabe has a pack mentality by nature. He doesn't function at his best by himself and he knows it. LAPD, US military, Overwatch, Blackwatch. He had his people through all of it, and he couldn't have managed for as long as he did otherwise.

He won't go to Ramona. He can't. Even if it means she thinks he's dead, it has to be that way to protect her and Carlos. Plausible deniability. [ Nevermind the thought that they would be better off without him anyway, after everything he's put them through to this point. ] If she was subpoenaed at a later time… he would make sure she had nothing to say.

@quick-drawn, however, is already in the wind. There's no greater risk to him, in terms of the law, than there is to start, and he's a highly-trained operative. Someone who knows how to function in the shadows.

So Gabe tracks him down. With how well he trained him and how well Jesse took to it, it isn't necessarily easy, but he manages and when he does… he makes him an offer.

"That explosion gave me clarity. I let my anger at a broken system cloud my judgement and consume me. Overwatch can't solve those problems. Blackwatch can't solve those problems. For any of this to be fixed, for people to have the world they deserve to live in—one of peace and safety, where they don't have to be terrified of walking home from school in the afternoon, or coming back from the bodega with whatever last minute thing for dinner—there can't be any other weights on the scale. There can't be any red tape. There can't be any strings. The only thing that can exist on the scale… is the safety of those we were charged to protect and what we can do to follow through on that, to actually do something, not just play at it… I know… that I made mistakes, Jesse, a lot of them, and I know that I was a mile out of line and completely off the rails… But I want to ask if you'll join me. Can you trust me, one more time?"

And that and the decision Jesse makes is the start of this verse…

ca͟l͟l͟ ͟s͟i͟g͟n : blue ( blackwatch ) | virago ( current : HISTORY , the title has a long and rich history dating back to hellenistic philosophy in ancient greece ; the concept itself linked to the notion of brave men abiding society and being the core of its values and ethics - it's about heroism, morality and physical strength ; women at the time were considered lesser in comparison . however, if exceptional enough - these women could be granted with the title virago - meaning the woman had surpassed the exceptions for what believed possible for her gender and embodied masculine like aggression and/or excellence. virago, then, was a title of respect and admiration. as time went on, the meaning changed to something more negative, 'a domineering, violent, or bad-tempered woman.' or 'shrew' - the title intertwined with it's original meaning and the newest ; however most understand the name to mean the latter . coraline's strong connection to greece and the history is what inspired this title - it's also a little on the nose study that just like the callsign, there is more to coraline and her character than the faracde displayed on the surface . ) bi͟r͟t͟h͟p͟l͟a͟c͟e : britain. lo͟c͟a͟t͟i͟o͟n : bounces around a lot ; has a few apartments in shady spots . however one of her main resting places is a ship that's in the middle of the australian desert ; it has everything she needs . fa͟c͟e͟c͟l͟a͟i͟m : depends when the mood strikes , sometimes natasha romanoff from the marvel comics ; othertime i'll use lara croft both game and comics ; i'll also just use my main live action. ac͟c͟e͟n͟t : due to travelling , coraline's accent has a twinge of everything ; however there is a prominant southen london tone that is more dominant . la͟n͟g͟u͟a͟g͟e͟s͟ ͟k͟n͟o͟w͟n : greek, spanish, russian, swedish, irish, korean, german, chinese, japanese, french, arabic, morse code . sc͟a͟r͟s : deep , red scar across neck from a fatal wound during a blackwatch ops - only managed to survive due to the meds team quick response / talent ; often covered up with a choker , gun shot wounds on left hip and right shoulder . ta͟t͟t͟o͟o͟s : faded blackwatch logo on right side ; clearly in the process of being removed ( is sorrttaa gone recall ; it was a drunken mistake in her ovw era ) / rose thorns circling right thigh , cat tattoo left arm . jo͟b͟ ͟h͟i͟s͟t͟o͟r͟y : worked for overwatch in their undercover division , blackwatch . when disbanded was an assassin for hire with no loyalty to any cause - has a history of being hired by talon acquaintances ; thus starting a complicated , untitled relationship with the group . sk͟i͟l͟l͟s : martial arts , hacking , engineering ( the later two certainly aren't her specialities , they're just things she can do at a low scale . ) po͟w͟e͟r͟s : magic user , has regenerative cells that cause quick healing , this is also why coraline appears ageless - though is mortal , just requires a fatal wound to kill her . ab͟i͟l͟i͟t͟i͟e͟s͟ ͟i͟n͟ ͟g͟a͟m͟e : create portals and jump from different areas of the map ( no team mates can use ) with a 10 second cool down , self healing , smoke bomb that has a 6 second cool down ULTIMATE : duplicates nearby team members for 7 seconds , sending out holograms that mimic the individuals actions . it's the slowest ultimate build due to the intensity of it . lo͟a͟d͟o͟u͟t : M110 semi-automatic sniper , nighthawk aac recon : silenced , throwing knives and an omniblade machete | has an ai companion named hephaestus that helps on missions when/if needed .

the streets have always been coraline's home , even when having four walls and a roof - she didn't shy away from sneaking out and sleeping in alleys in favour of her bed . her parents were abusive ; mean, rich and powerful people who didn't hesitate to weaponize it, even against their own blood . they were reason why she was born with survival flowing through her veins - the reason why she's always had a sharpness about her that the kids around her lacked . it was only a matter of time before she took to them full time , deciding that they were safer than being at 'home' - of cause the streets came with harsh challenges , with ruthlessness - but it was better , making it an environment coraline thrived in all too well .

she needed friends on the streets ... so to speak , friendships are rare in and of themselves - what she needed was allies. meaning snuggling up to gangs in different areas was the next best thing, it was the way to provide safety ; shelter without stepping on anyone's toes, especially with the ever rising conflicts. she didn't carry a title ; at least not internally , outwardly was another story ; realistically, everyone was using each other, it's what made the system work - mutually beneficial relationships, while fickle, have a strength about them the longer you remain useful. within the system there are still special connections to be made - cautious friendships, if you will. with this came trust, in return you can get shelter, food and something that couldn't be gained on her own ; stability and purpose.

it wasn't long before coraline was put to work, things she was more than happy to do - smuggling drugs across state lines, stealing intel from different gangs ; dangerous work, especially for a child - but it was work she thrived in. coraline had a talent for stealth , for having a quickness on feet - it what built her reputation and she wasted no time profiting off of it. there was also the added edge of having abilities that others tyically didn't ; magic usage had only been a small percentage of her life, trying to avoid it as much as possible ; however it came in handy when being sent on the low scale missions - quick healing, the ability to create portals - it made her life easier, it certainly made her far more efficent. though it was a secret held close to heart - she didn't need to go bragging and giving up all her secrets.

it's this what got her on overwatch's radar ; there was a long while of them keeping tabs on her movements, watching from afar and getting a better understanding of her skills and talents - she was the perfect candidate for the organization - the exact sort of skills that they were looking for - though it was a little while before getting involved, obviously waiting for an oppotunity to arise before approaching.

in truth, it didn't take long. the life was catching up with coraline - between gang conflicts coming to ahead, the law slowly closing in and people realising that she was playing both sides with a little too many unfulfilled debts, there were a lot of people seeking her out - the sloppiness had much to do with her worsening drug habit, it was making her reckless, no thoughts going into her actions - she wasn't happy, coraline doesn't remember a time where she was and as a result they were the only things that made her forget about her life - the state she's made of it, it was easy to fall into hopelessness when there wasn't any hope to begin with.

one night, coraline had snuck away from the group after packing up her belongings, what was worth while of it ; a gun, some stolen money and some clothes - it was here when overwatch decided it was time to approach her - extending a helping hand and offering a second chance, a chance to care about something other than herself ; a chance to be someone she could be proud of. coraline didn't really have a choice when accepting, but she'd be lying if she was mad about it.

HEADCANONS :

as mentioned , coraline was heavily involved in drug use ; specifically meth , speed and cocaine - anything that kept her awake and had her blood pumping. there have been several instances of her stealing from stealing from suppliers - giving them the drugs in full, only to sneak back and steal some for herself.

another side gig that was taken up more so as a way to pass the time was partaking in illegal boxing matches - it was something she watched regularly and enjoyed betting on ; it was only a matter of time before taking a personal liking to it ; it was harsh, violent, of cause she couldn't help but be drawn to it - after voicing interest in this, a boxer that hired her to gather intel had taken up the task of teaching her how to fight in a ring ; at first he voiced that she would be stupid to take up going into the ring, even with how much she was learning with him - but that just made the notion more exciting, "it's all about the show, ain't it?" she'd grin, wiping her mouth of blood from a particularly bad punch he'd swung at her - it was then he became aware of how quickly she healed, seeing this, the boxer had taught her how to use her smaller body and strength to her advantage - going up against people her size and the closest to her weight as they could find at the time - but she proved to be a worthy opponent - it was a while before finding her footing, but when that was found she ended up diving into rigging the fights for extra money ; she was in her element. though, it did become just another mess she got herself into.

𝐁𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐊𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐂𝐇

before even stepping her foot through the door, overwatch had put coraline in their medical facility in an attempt to help her detox off of the drugs - it was an agonizing road ; dealing with sweats, emotional out bursts and violent mood swings - truly, the most painful experience she had ever been through ; not the fighting, the emotional torment of the streets - simply being away from the drugs almost completely broke her apart, she had relied on them so long to feel anything, to just exist she never realised how much strain they were putting on her body. despite the clear signs of addiction displayed, in truth, coraline never noticed just how much she relied on substances.

it was under a year before overwatch decided they were satisfied with her recovery, though given her cells, she recovered quickly ; at least physically, there was still the aspect of dealing with the mental torment of it all in the aftermath - but she said as long as she kept her mind busy, she would be fine - she feels ready to take on the world, to start new - she's never felt as good as she did in that moment - with the vote of confidence, they put her to work - well, training most specifically ; honing in on her fighting skills, practicing shooting - she had fun with it, even acting as a therapy.

she struggled learning how to trust - she lived her life backstabbing, lying and manipulating - it was the way things were. to suddenly change up the dynamic and put her life in the hands of other people in such a way caused her to have a slight crisis - team building exercises were regular, helping her get used to people, in a way, overwatch was helping her to completely rewire her social perception. it was a painful road seeing people as friends and not as enemies, but after a long time, of training with them and fighting along side them - she began to open herself up. allowing herself to get comfortable, to get somewhat soft around others and become docile - she was happier ; she was putting her talents to use while not having to worry about going home and getting stabbed in her sleep.

MORE TO BE ADDED .

HEADCANON :

i personally hc that coraline was a part of the venice mission, because .. c'mon, it's fun to think about - and while a lot of her portrayal revolves around the core four, if you're a blackwatch writer ( gabriel , genji , moria , cassidy ) and don't vibe with the idea, then that's fine ! just let me know - because i can make it so the impact bw had on her are faceless within the group rather than specifically canon charcters.

𝐏𝐑𝐄 𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐀𝐋𝐋

after the collapse of overwatch, it took a little while for coraline to get back on her feet ; naturally , this left a large hole in her life that was originally filled by the group - they found her when she was at her worst and as a result she truly never pictured a time where she'd be without them . looking back , she realises how foolish she had been to put so much faith in something that wasn't even remotely sustainable - it was an undercover military group , the shadow of something that represented an artificial light that never truly existed in the first place ; it was bound to collapse in on itself from the weight of sins that it carried ; however she was young , she had a spark in her that made her hopeful - vulnerable , weaker - a mistake she promised to herself to never make again .

she took some time away , retirement so to speak , though without any of the actual relaxing ; taking the time to learn new skills ; languages , hacking , engineering - she knew already knew how to kill , how to fight ; blackwatch saw to that - they had taught her everything she needed to know , but that's nothing without the intelligence and added skills to back that up ; killing , fighting - it was easy, anyone could do it - there always needs to be an added edge . she built gadgets , practiced hacking anything that was of interest - she wanted to be better , she wanted to make herself bulletproof because she knew the path she was about to go down required her to be the best - at least be better than who she once was .

before going back on the field, her first move was to erase herself completely - cleaning up every little shadow of herself she could find in an attempt to have a fresh start, to burn her past self to the ground and rise from the ashes - not necessarily as someone better. her illegal boxing matches from her teenage years, the drug smuggling and gang activity, her time at overwatch - thrown out, as if it never happened at all. any trace of her legal name was gone, she preferred it that way, in this moment came some sort of clarity , even if dipped in melancholy - she became a new person, she had her entire life ahead of her without any of the baggage holding her down - though with this new found lightness, came a lot of bad ideas - ones she was more than happy to live out despite the grave consequences that will unfold from them . continuing the career of mercenary seemed like the most logical line of work for her to go in ; so that's what she did . nothing unusual, nothing that she wasn't already used to ; but eventually she fell into the assassin career, it was one that took a little too easily - even worse, she enjoyed it - she was far too good at the work and it eventually became the new norm in her contracts.

coraline's problem was she didn't really know herself, never took the time to learn. there was no outside of the violence ; because that's all there was, she can't picture not being behind a gun . finding herself in this line of work was natural progression from her previous employment . with dedication, pride and a swift efficiency - it only took a couple of years for her name to become a whisper in the places where it mattered. much like before overwatch she took to the moto of once again having no loyalty , no moral code - she didn't care who was the target, just that the pay was heavy and the client knew what it meant to be inconspicuous - she became the go to gun when needed something done ; swift, quick, easy and was already out of the targets vicinity when the pulling the trigger . eventually she was hired by higher profiles, being paid to off ceos, politicians and high end criminal targets .

coraline can always been seen wearing a mask, without one she feels naked, exposed and far too seen ; people describe her as cold, calculated, lacking empathy - but in truth … that isn't the case, though her actions certainly prove otherwise . she still has moments of hesitating when she knows certain targets don't deserve it, has moments of taking a sharp breath through teeth and closing her eyes as she pulls the trigger and wincing once the bullet goes through a target - she has a job to do and a title to maintain - so ultimately, it gets done, no matter what ; the guilt, the dirty feeling that sticks to her after every mission is ignored, as a result she isn't in the best headspace - forcing herself to shut down as much as humanly possible ; though that's just it, she's still human and living isn't as easy as it used to be - or maybe she's just getting old and faking it is becoming harder ; it's an unwavering farcade that very few can see beyond.

HEADCANONS :

coraline's kill methods range from distance to up close and personal. her usual sign that she was the person behind the kill is kills via blade ; usually leaving behind quite a scene, especially when she deems someones death worthwhile. she likes to see the light fade from someones eyes, likes to be reminded what it looks and feels like when someone dies right in front of her ; it's easy to pull a trigger. it's another thing to hear the final breaths. this is also a method to keep her emotions in check, in short ; not only is it fun, but there's an element of personal mental self harm by putting herself through the trials to stop her going soft.

Five Comfort Characters, Five Tags ~

1. Kannonzaka Doppo - I relate to him a whole lot! We both work at the office of a manufacturing firm, we both like omurice and potato salad, we both rely on caffeine to get through the day otherwise we're just tired 24/7... I feel his anxiety regarding work and pretty much most things in life, and admire his development - standing up for himself, taking initiative and being confident in his capabilities and gut instincts. It's inspiring :)

2. Tekhartha Zenyatta - As a Zen main, he's been a comfort character for years. I love his gameplay, most of the time dealing a good balance of damage and healing, which is oddly satisfying to me. Love his lore and him as a character too, of course. Particularly the idea of him being wise but also a trickster lol. Such a fun and interesting character.

3. Shimada Genji - The OG muse of this blog, and the muse that's been active the longest. Six years and still going strong, getting into character with him has gotten quite natural regardless of verse/AU. And I have TONS of those. Watching the Dragons short for the first time was what got me into Overwatch, and I remember getting into it with my Bro. That was one of my favorite memories. Dragon bros 💚

4. Cho Hakkai - Saiyuki was the very first anime that I really got into way back when, so it will always have a special place in my heart. And Hakkai has always been my favorite. My irl friends once said that I'm like Hakkai and it made me happy haha. Can't help but love Mister silly sad, walking wikipedia. Oh and Hakuryuu too! They come as a package~

5. Vash - Particularly Stampede Vash. Not a muse of mine, but my best friend's. She's the one who got me into the series and I got instantly drawn to Vash. At one point, I realized why. His mannerisms, looks, down to his smile, reminds me of someone I used to know. We were close, at lease I thought we were. Sadly we lost touch long ago, but the memories of them were good. In any case, I do love Vash a whole lot and want very much to give him a hug. Or be hugged by him ;; I can imagine he'd give the best hugs

[Jamie's personality and physique changes slightly throughout the different verses. Most of the physical traits remain, but depending on the verse, the personality will change a little in the way of thinking and speaking.]

- Main Verse -

Jamison and Mako decided to join Overwatch. Jamison decided it would be best to leave his precious treasure with Overwatch. Especially when Talon approached them in a very unfriendly way. He didn't want Road to get hurt and decided to join them. Besides, Jamie's dream as a child was to be an Overwatch agent.

-///-

They still cause a lot of destruction on the battlefield but now at least it's more targeted and purposeful. They became legit after all.

-///-

Angela is treating Jamie. He takes some medication to help with his disorders and the radiation. His hair even grew back a little and his mood swings are a little more controlled. Even so, there is still a long way to go.

-///-

Jamie's eyesight gets bad sometimes. So he started using the googles on his forehead to help when he needed it. Angela suggested that he wear lenses. But when she tried to put it in his eyes he had a panic attack and ran away from her for a few weeks.

-///-

Jamie loves to sleep naked. Always used to the hot Australia air, he prefers to sleep without any clothes on.

-///-

Jamie will act like a real gremlin sometimes. Do not panic.

-///-

In my main verse Junkrat joins Overwatch. And begins treatment to reduce the effects of radiation. With time he starts to improve, even if some effects are irreversible. But there are alternative verses that that he does not enter on Overwatch. In these specific verses, he and other junkers will probably die sooner. On the other hand, they have greater resistance to radiation and other attributes.(Note that this may change if any muse he interacts with inverts this condition. However, this remains in a dependent verse and does not interfere with the main verse. Unless I wanted to include this.)

-///-

Junkrat loves electronic music and is a fan of Lúcio. Frog Dj's music even reached Junkertown radio. And as soon as he heard it he fell in love with the melodies. When he left Australia, he secretly went to some live shows. When Jamie joined Overwatch and found he could do missions with Lúcio. Jamison blew up some of the base areas in happiness. But he was banned from blowing things up for a week.

   it’s a xiao kinda night —

   a question i have been asked a few times in my career writing this guy is “does he have a personality outside of haru” and while the answer is yes, you gotta remember that he’s the supporting character to haru’s story and not the other way around. but he really does have many layers, some he isn’t even aware of having.

   xiaolong is by no means a good or even nice person, especially at the start of his development. he’s the second born of three in the current long dynasty, his older brother jun being the prodigal son and little sister ash’aa being the babygirl. it wasn’t until the power of the dosha started manifesting within him that his family paid true attention to him, and he absolutely reveled in being the sudden favorite. while jun was pulled back from the mantle promised to him, relegated to war general, xiao was given new purpose as the next dosha and new crown prince, beginning to train his divine abilities. killing had always come easy to xiao, his ability with almost any weapon an incredible sight to see on the battlefield. as his powers grew though, he learned much more about what it meant to truly be death incarnate.

   with a thirst to prove himself, xiao dove headfirst into pushing his arcane abilities to the limit, in doing so learning that he could wipe entire cities and communities off the map with but a thought. when he slaughtered all units on both sides during the siege of rekisant, he donned a new moniker as the “world eater”, and knowledge that a new dosha had been born spread far throughout relogae. this awakening of his power brought on side effects, however, for with each death he caused, the closer to death xiao became. it wouldn’t be long before the clairaudience would begin, the dragon prince hearing whispers that he could never find, voices that were both familiar and unknown to him all at once. he also found that physical contact with others became almost impossible, his touch now black and poisonous. any body that came in contact with him would drop dead quickly after — quickly killing his penchant for sleeping around and flirting with others. this side effect really isolated him until haru came along.

   the pair would meet in the woods under a misunderstanding, with haru attacking xiao and the boy god confident that his touch would end her. when she drove her lance deep into his chest, however — remaining very much alive — he learned that someone had survived him. someone could survive him. he latched on quickly, despite haru’s distaste with him at the beginning, and this was where he began to learn more about himself than he’d probably ever wanted to. learning how the war had really affected all the creatures of the kingdom, the fear and hopelessness his family evoked, that he could be more than what he felt resigned to be — a real mirror was shined on him after meeting haru, who had no qualms calling him out on anything he did that harmed those around him. haru showed him how to really think about his actions and understand his very wild and intense emotions.

   desperate not to lose the only person now that he could touch, xiao worked hard to earn haru’s respect, and eventually the two would become close. this is honestly the main reason that haru is so so important to him, even in verses where they are actively enemies. in every iteration of their story, xiao’s core development is centered on teachings given to him by haru, and i try to make sure that that central piece of him always remains. while i can and have written verses where xiao is a solo character and completely separate from haru, i always try to stress to my partners that he’s going to be pretty insufferable when doing so. haru really revealed to him a sense of morals and ethics that he’d never uncovered before, and thus is the reason that he behaves so much worse without her actively in his life (i.e. joining talon in the overwatch verse). her belief in him is a drug, and he’s hopelessly addicted to the validation she provides him. this is very toxic to haru, yes, which is why in many verses she tries to keep some distance between them. xiao is unlearning years’ worth of terrible beliefs and behaviors, and is an extremely selfish man even with what he truly, truly loves.

   but he’s learning. he’s doing his best.

Five comfort characters, five tags

Kojiro/James - My number one because James was probably my very first fictional crush. I was almost always reading Team Rocket fanfiction when I first gained access to the internet. I would watch the anime just for them. Over the years, I learned more and more about his character and background. How he ran away from home because his parents are basically the worst and tried to force him to marry some dominatrix. And, all in all, James actually seems like a decent human being to some extent. He cares for others and his Pokémon. Even if he gets nothing in return, he still seems like he would do just about anything for Jessie and Meowth. His found family next to his grandparents, who were the only other family he had that actually gave a damn about his well being. I'm not going to say that I know exactly how that feels, but I will say that I do have a found family myself. And my biological family isn't exactly in the picture except for some holidays or if someone needs money. But anyway, this is one of the many reasons why I picked up James as a muse. A lot of nostalgia and admiration I have for this guy.

Hanzo Shimada - If I'm being honest, Hanzo was not the first character I mained in Overwatch. It was actually Reaper. While it was fun playing as the dark edgelord, I began to experiment with other heros. Once I made my way to Hanzo, I immediately found that there was something about him that I quickly latched onto. His back story is traumatic. He struggles to find redemption and come to grips with his past. In the process, discovering his brother was alive in the Dragons short, which is by far my favorite. The biggest thing about Hanzo that stood out to me was that I felt I related to him in a lot of ways. Sure, my own back story isn't exactly the same as his, but there are definitely some elements there that I can understand. It's one of reasons that I picked him up as my very first canon muse. In fact, you can still find him here @brxken-arrxw. I haven't been on there much as of late, but there's a good chance that I could be bringing him back :)

Yami Bakura - From the Yu-Gi-Oh! verse. Yes, there was a time where I was all about that series... but only the first generation and the characters. And don't ask me how to play the game because... Yeah, I never learned, but anyway! I was very invested in the characters and ships. Yami Bakura is the evil spirit of the Millennium Ring. The spirit of a tomb raider and thief from ancient Egyptian times. He inhabits the body Ryou Bakura, who was gifted the ring by his father, who is an archeologist (I think). He possess him constantly and takes control to do his bidding. While he is technically supposed to be "evil", I did kind of latch onto him more over the other characters. I can see his past being a very traumatic one, which probably led to him becoming a ruthless thief. I have also read a lot of amazing fanfiction where he struggles with this and dealing with his feelings. Like coming to grips with who and what he is. Even with Ryou. Like, I can see him actually caring for Ryou to some extent, but doesn't want to express those feelings because maybe he's afraid it will show weakness. It is something I have dealt with before. I have attempted to hide things so that I don't appear weak to others, but man did that fail so hard for me. It's probably why I still have issues with it to this day. I am better than I used to be, but I still have moments. But yeah, I really feel like Yami Bakura has more room to deal with and grow. I definitely admire him a lot.

Lucas - A Mother/Earthbound series character. Lucas is from Mother 3. The game that was never actually released in the US. There used to be a way to download the game with translations and stuff. While I did, I only managed to get halfway through. I have read a lot about the back story. Lucas loses his mother and twin bother. I'm a little hazy on the rest of the game's plot, but I do know that Lucas is an individual that carries a lot on his shoulders. Dealing with the loss of family members while trying to carry on. No crying until the end... As the game says, at some point. Unfortunately, I understand a thing or two about the pain of loss. And having to quickly pick up the pieces and carry on. Lucas has a very special place with me for this. I have so much love and admiration for him.

Zorra Lynn Lombardi and The Devil Cat - I really struggled with this one, but Zorra was my first and only written OC. I ultimately ended up dropping her and stealing her name for myself. I once had a blog for her, which has since been deleted and repurposed into this blog (email wise, that is). She was lone girl who lived alone with a cat, whom was probably more of a thing than she was, if I'm being honest. This cat was a calico cat with fake set of red devil horns mounted on it's head. I called her "The Devil Cat". In most cases, she was referred to as just "Kitty". My idea for the cat was that they were once a god-like entity. Cast down from the heavens to reign terror upon the Earth. While this was a cunning plan, the appearance that was taken on wasn't exactly ideal. Their vision was for a cat-like beast with horns. A creature that would surely be feared by man. When they arrived on Earth, however, the plan somehow backfired and they appeared as a small female calico cat with fake headbanded devil horns. How this happened was beyond them, but it was also a no turning back kind of ordeal. So this is what they were stuck with. While they still had the ability to control some minds and start small fires, this definitely was not what they had in mind.

Anyway, back to Zorra. She was basically a reflection of myself. I basically poured all of my experiences and stuff that almost was into her. She was outcasted and forgotten by her own family, went through mental trauma after losing her mother and step father, once engaged to be married but was left after the mental trouble, but somehow made a strive to get back on her feet and try to make the most of life. She had a job at a coffee shop, had a home of her own. While she originally did not have any pets to begin with, the Devil Cat found Zorra and moved herself in. Seeing her as easy to manipulate, which did work to some extent, but being a small cat complicates things. Particularly when you're constantly given catnip and treats.

These two were my original babies, but I ultimately dropped them due to lack of interest. I made a lot of drawings of them both and had a lot of fun while it lasted, but it wasn't meant to be unfortunately. :(

Been venturing back into Reaper76 lately, and even though activity has died down a lot compared to when Overwatch was in its heyday, this is still probably my favourite pairing to sink my teeth into. 

The fandom is also a much nicer space to be in, especially since that annoying, vocal group of people who loved to villainize Jack Morrison based on the colour of his skin has stopped harassing and policing people after it was canonically revealed that:

1. Gabe was the more experienced leader during the Omnic Crisis, but Jack was the one who held the team together and brought out the best in the people around him.

2. Jack was ultimately chosen as Strike Commander because Gabrielle Adawe and the UN found him to be the more suitable candidate for rebuilding, especially since this is now a much more political role after the war has ended.  (Valkyrie short)

3. Unlike a lot of incorrect assumptions that were made, the promotion was not the main cause of the rift between the two characters.  Gabe was, in fact, a supportive friend and teammate who didn’t jump to bitterness over this.  If anything, it was Jack giving Gabe too much leeway and defending his sometimes questionable actions in the years that followed which resulted in his downfall.

There was a year or so that felt like stepping into a minefield where Reaper76 works were written by people who actively hated half the ship, and the sole reason for one character’s existence is to grovel for forgiveness.  It’s character bashing but tagged as the main pairing.  (Something similar happened to MCU!Stony, which is why I’m mainly into comics!Stony now.)  Some of the excuses I saw trying to justify Reaper working for Talon, a literal terrorist organization behind horrifying acts (and not a double agent either), was mind boggling.  It’s made worse because they don’t judge Jack by the same standards, and actively went out of their way to paint him as some useless white guy who barely contributed to the war effort and “stole” the promotion.      

I remember some of my favourite creators being harassed and bullied to the point that they straight up deleted their stories and left the ship.  The “moral high ground” fandom police held up their own headcanons as the be-all end-all for everyone (because I guess they never learned the basic fandom etiquette of “Your Headcanon Is Not Canon”), and if you disagreed with them you were called a bunch of names and had to deal with some truly terrible BS.  

It’s such a disservice to Gabe and Jack too, because they’re complex characters whose relationship got reduced to one of jealousy and hatred, and the things that each of them were allowed to explore ended up being severely limited in fear of pissing off said fandom police. 

Luckily this isn’t really the case anymore, and with a bit of digging you can find many fics that aren’t one-sided.  My favourites have always been the ones that allowed them to explore their own shades of grey. 

After many years of being in various fandom spaces, I feel like I’m generally not as interested in participating anymore unless I know that the source material is aimed at a mature audience, or the people I am interacting with will behave like adults.  Some positive examples of this would be:

1. Hannigram, where the fandom has pretty effectively shut down policing (because seriously are you going to try and police the “murder husbands” ship that contains a cannibal serial killer?)

2. A lovely Taiwanese Top Gun discord server where everyone is very well versed in their fandom etiquette of “Ship and Let Ship”, “I Am Responsible For My Own Content Consumption”, and the aforementioned “Your Headcanon is Not Canon”. 

Things like this really make such a big difference towards having a good time, instead of dealing with all sorts of fandom wank.

No One Told You the War Was Over

Overwatch has been shut down, and its bases are slowly being decommissioned.  As Head of Base Operations, you get the joy of being the last man standing waiting for final inspection.  And waiting. And waiting.

This verse continues here

Although Overwatch was disbanded, you had never been formally let go.  Personnel and essential supplies were moved out over the course of a month after Overwatch's fall.  You were the last person left behind as Head of Base Operations.  They told you an inspector would be out to make sure the base had been properly disbanded.

But the inspector never came.

You didn't suspect anything for the first week, or the second.  By a month though, you began to wonder when, or if, this inspector was ever coming.  Once the next scheduled supply shipment came in though, you realized something wasn't right.  The supply shipments were automated and run by low intelligence omnics.   If they were still delivering to the base, it must still by in the system somewhere.  You went to the main computer terminal and pulled up the Overwatch administrative database, and scrolled to where your base was listed.  You looked at the status, and everything clicked.

The base was listed as disbanded, but the status had never been changed to inactive.  You started laughing, mainly because you didn't know what else to do.  What should you do?  Probably contact the number you were left with by the jackbooted thug that had overseen the disbandment of the base, but that left a bad taste in your mouth.  A tiny spark of an idea flared up in the back of you mind.  You ruthlessly tried to stamp it out before it could catch, but it was too late.  The idea burned like a signal fire, pointing down the path you should take.

You didn't contact anyone.  Instead, you took full inventory of the entire base.  Food, ammunition, medical supplies, storage space, accommodations, supplies, everything.  You figured out which parts of the base to seal off and clear out to minimize the amount of square footage to maintain.  There were still a lot of bots left around that had been meant to help with the final dismantling.   You cannibalized a couple to figure out how to reprogram them to help you out.  You started by sealing of all the sleeping quarters and all but one hangar bay.  That was the delivery bay, and it also served to store all the useful equipment from the other bays.

In between moving supplies around and sealing off rooms, you also did an astonishing amount of cooking.  Food supplies had been delivered for fifty people for a month.  There was no way you could go through all that, and you couldn't bear to let it go to waste.  You found yourself teaching yourself how to dehydrate fruits, can vegetables, make meals that could be deep frozen and thawed later, and actually drying meat.  Most of the food was able to be saved, but not all of it it.  You made sure to adjust the food delivery quantity down to five before the next delivery.  Any lower would have been too suspicious.  Even dropping it to five was risky.  You were on eggshells after dropping it until the next delivery arrived.  You left the munitions quantity the same.  No harm in stockpiling arms a little.

The first couple months passed in a blur.  You rushed around inventorying everything you found, sealing off most of the base, cooking and preserving food en masse, and finding a viable place to start a weapons vault.  Without the bots, there was no way you could have done it.  They kept the place clean, fixed minor repairs, and carried far heavier loads than you would have been able to manage.  You got into a solid routine after a while.  Supply transport came in, get it unloaded and on it's way as fast as possible.  Portion out the food you would actually need for the month, cook or preserve the rest.  Once that was taken care of, get the munitions sorted out and stored properly.  Interspersed was cleaning the unsealed parts of the base and familiarizing yourself with the various weaponry you were stockpiling.  

It made sense to you to actually know how to use the stuff you were hoarding.  Through training manuals and archived training footage, you managed to get a pretty decent grasp on most of the weaponry in your arsenal.  You also read  through old mission reports.  Some of them were hilarious, the nonsense that went on, and the same author's disregard for having to write reports.  Others were sobering and dark as they reported immense casualties.  The words and numbers, cold and detached, probably to help the author get through writing it.  

You passed a large amount of time in this way, losing count of how long it had been.  Then one delivery day, you froze in the middle of your post shipment routine.  What were you doing?  In the middle of the hangar bay, you sank to the floor and stared at the room around you.  Months ago, it had made so much sense to keep the base up and running.  Keep it functional, just in case the United Nations realized they'd made a mistake and brought Overwatch back together.  That wasn't going to happen.  You watched the news at least once a week to keep up with the world.  The whole thing was a disaster, and people still wanted to blame Overwatch for it.

What else would you do though?

After you took the job with Overwatch, your life outside of it vanished.  Layered so deep in NDA's, it was impossible to talk to friends about your job, and eventually you drifted apart.  Your parents disapproved of your job choice from the beginning and cut off contact.  The people you'd met at work and friends you'd made were scattered across the world, relocations courtesy of the UN.  More like scattering the ashes of a fire so it couldn't be rekindled.  

There was no life for you outside of Overwatch anymore.  This was it.  Maybe...maybe you could find others?  Other people who hadn't given up on what Overwatch stood for, who couldn't let it go.  Agents who still had a personal mission, regardless of what the higher ups might tell them.  Those people needed help, they needed support, resources.  You had resources in spades, and could get more if need be.

This new plan seemed to inject electricity into your veins.  Jumping up, there was new energy as you got the transport supplies unloaded as quickly as possible.  Your fingers itched with the desire to type away at the keyboards of the control room.  They wanted to be tearing through databases to find agent contact information, putting out messages to Blackwatch drops.  It wouldn't be easy, but you were going to do it.  You were going to find the people who were still trying to help, who couldn't help but reach out their hands.  Once you found them, you would be the best damn support home base they'd ever known.

With a new sense of purpose and a plan, you marched to the control room and got to work.

Overwatch Verse(s)

( I’ll have a generic one and then one made specific for threads w/ @shouga-nai‘s Genji :3 )

General:

- Still pretty much her same backstory as in her ‘main’ verse. Nothing major is really changed expect that it’s within the Overwatch story setting.

- based in Shinjuku/Tokyo

- in this verse mukuro doesn’t have shitty aim lmao

- is very much a dps hero lol has poison laced throwing knives as her secondary weapon/attack and her main weapon is probably some type of silenced/suppressed pistol lmao i’ll think of specific abilities and an ultimate later

- if i think of anything else, i’ll add it

With shouga-nai’s Genji:

- Her backstory is pretty much the same but she lives in Hanamura at first instead of Shinjuku and instead of becoming an info broker right away, she winds up with a boyfriend ( who she met during her time as a hostess ) the relationship starts out great and all but winds up really shitty and ropes her into his ‘scheme’ of having Mukuro seduce rich men and steal from them to pawn off and get money.

- The plan goes swimmingly until Mukuro ( under the fake name: Ran [ meaning: orchid] ) meets Genji and uh-oh he treats her better than her current boyfriend does and she starts to fall for him.

- Mukuro’s current relationship has turned abusive ( unsurprisingly ) far before she met Genji and she has began to save up money to move out and fight back. Mako gets more and more violent because he thinks Mukuro is not doing her absolute best and is bringing less and less money back ( she is but that’s because she’s saving a good majority of the money she brings in lol )

- During that part of the ‘relationship’ and then on she sees her ‘boyfriend’ as someone more of a roommate. she spends a lot of her time not at their apartment/shared living spaces

- boyfriend/roommate guy is named Mako and runs a shitty small gang.

- Once mukuro saves up enough money she moves out to Yokohama for a while ( and honestly if Genji doesn’t do it first, she kills Mako before she moves lmao )

- honestly I can see her moving from Hanamura to Yokohama be right after Genji’s ‘death’

- i’ll probably add more if i think of more stuff
