IN CHARACTER
Name: Ana Amari
Canon: Overwatch
Canon Point: Before the comic “Old Soldiers”
Age: 60 years old
History:
http://overwatch.gamepedia.com/Ana
Personality:
Ana is often called ‘Team Grandma’ and while those names are often given wantonly, she honestly fits into that role oddly well. Ana is very well known among the Overwatch organization for treating her allies and friends as family. And when she goes into battle, her motivations are much more than keeping her teammates alive. No, she’s thinking of those who have a close relationship with her teammates, whether they be children, spouses, or loved ones. She often comments that she tries her hardest so those people can be happy and see their parents and loved ones come home after a mission safely. She strives more for the smiles and safety of those who love her teammates.
But it was that same care that became her downfall. When she discovered that the enemy sniper on the battlefield was an old friend that had been kidnapped and brainwashed, Ana hesitated for just a moment. And it was that moment that allowed the sniper named Widowmaker to strike, shooting out Ana’s eye. After that incident, Ana knew that her failure meant that members of her own team ended up dying and it broke her. Rather than allow her friends to retrieve her, she dragged herself off, letting them think she was dead. She languished in her own emotions for years, not knowing how to continue. For someone as caring as Ana, knowing others died on her watch because she failed was devastating.
It was the feeling that she needed to get back into the fight and protect others again that brought her back from the dead. Even in her old age of 60, Ana is just as fierce of a protector and gentle of a friend as she used to be. She isn’t up to stepping up and being second in command again but she seeks out those close to her and strives to have their back again.
Despite all her positive points, Ana probably can’t be considered the best mother. While she did her best with Fareeha, raising her to protect those around her and be someone people can count on, there was an underlying tension in their relationship. Namely, despite letting Fareeha idolize and be raised by members of Overwatch, she strictly banned Fareeha from joining even though it was her daughter’s dream. This put a strain on their relationship and Fareeha even has comments in game believing that her mother was never proud of her and never approved of her actions. Which is untrue but it obviously shows that while Ana more than easily mothered her teammates, she had trouble doing it with her own daughter.
On the other hand, Ana and Jack Morrison, also known as Soldier 76, are fairly inseparable. Gabriel Reyes (Reaper) used to be part of this friendship and the three made an unbeatable trio. Jack led from the front, Gabriel was a driving force of power, and Ana pushed and supported from behind. The first person Ana sought after she came back from her ‘death’ was Jack, her trust in him implicit and unquestioning. Their closeness can be summed up by the fact that Ana could recognize both him and Gabriel despite the fact that they both wore masks and were completely different people from how they were in their youth. It’s definitely Ana’s relationship with others, teammates included, that really define who she is.
Contracts:
Ana would be suspicious at the start. Signing contracts is an easy way into forced labor. But the moment she discovers that anyone she knows is on board, Ana would sign in an instant. She needs to be with them to protect them, and that’s her goal.
Abilities/Skills:
Ana has no special powers but, despite her age, she still never misses a shot with a sniper rifle. Not only that, she’s a crack shot with whatever weapon she can pick up, including her own sleep dart device. And if someone thinks she is weak at close range, that’s the last mistake they’d ever mistake. Ana is a master martial artist, able to outfight those in better condition than herself. Combined with her leadership capabilities, Ana is quite a ferocious fighter.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
+ loyal to friends/caring
+a person never has to watch their back if Ana has it
+skilled in combat and with most weapons
-if caring too much is a thing, it’s Ana’s problem
-the closer one is to her, the stricter she may get
-often surprised and stunned when friends end up being enemies
Items:
Biotic Rifle - a rifle that shoots darts. When allies are targeted, it heals them. When enemies are targeted, it deals damage. Fairly straightforward.
Biotic Grenades (2) - flasks that hold nanobiologics that explode when thrown. Again, with allies, it heals upon contact and also doubles any healing effects that come after. With enemies, it deals damage and also prevents them from healing from any source for a short time.
Sleep Dart (2) - A small dartgun that puts whoever it hits to sleep for a short time instantly.
Nanoboost - a small device on her left arm that slowly fills with nanomachines. When activated, it shoots a dart (surprise surprise) into an ally and injects them with nanomachines that increases their speed, strength, and durability.
SAMPLES
Network Sample:
Be sure to be careful, friends.
[In this case, friends meant most of anyone. Ana wasn’t being discriminatory at this point. She’d much rather assume that people are good rather than evil but would still like to try to be realistic about it.]
I have heard stories about space. The wide open and vast distance can seem overwhelming and it is. Do not underestimate the dangers that come with it and do not take risks. All it would take is one breach…
[Hopefully there were safeties to prevent a quick decompression. Still, she couldn’t help but keep her eye on everyone, no matter the impossibility of the act.]
And never hesitate to ask for assistance. If you believe you have no one to turn to in a crisis, you can turn to me. It is alright.
[A last bit of reassurance before she cuts off. Better to end on a high note.]
