Character Profile: “Gato”

Concept Art: [Link]

Personal Information:

Real Name: Viola Nakasio

Sex: Male

Age: 26

Nationality: Brazilian

Base of Operations: Toronto, CA

Affiliation: Talon

Background:

“I hope they’ve very good security. I mean, it won’t help but...”

Viola Nakasio, otherwise known as Gato, is a self-taught magic-practitioner who uses his knowledge of the arcane to steal.

While also stealing for money, Gato’s main targets are artifacts rumored to have healing properties or rare materials that can be used as potion brewing materials. He commits these crimes in hopes of finding a cure for his adoptive-father’s disease, which modern technology is yet to find a permanent solution for.

One of the several artifacts Viola used to try and cure his father was a small yellow crystal stolen in China, named “Moon’s Fortune”, said to have granted an ancient emperor longevity and immunity to diseases and poisons. While it did have healing powers, it was not strong enough to rid his father of his affliction.

And so, “Gato” kept on stealing. After several successful robberies, the thief’s activity caught Talon’s attention. After the proper intel was gathered, Doomfist( Akande Ogundimu) approached Viola with a business proposition. In exchange for his’s services, Talon would have their scientists look into his father’s case, promising to produce a cure.

While Viola has no love for Talon and their goals, the possibility of a permanent solution to his problem drove him in becoming a Talon agent and, as Gato, he now travels the world stealing for the organization.

Appearance:

Viola is a short young man with soft traces and a slim build. His hair is pure white and his eyes are a bright orange, result of his contact with the Moon’s Fortune. He uses an illusory spell to regain his former appearance and keep his civilian front, but releases it during operations.

Gameplay:

Gato plays as a high-mobility healer specialized in stabilizing critical-health allies quickly, giving other healers more breathing room to top them off. His healing has short range, but his abilities and natural mobility allow him to keep himself safe in the middle of the fight, as well as confuse enemies, spawning decoys to keep their off allies as he heals them.

His ultimate’s main utility is negating line-of-sight-based attacks, but can also be used in the middle of a team-fight to put the enemy-team at a heavy disadvantage.

Abilities:

Passive: “Feline Agility”

“Using gravity-based magic, Gato moves at increased speed, makes no noise and can climb up walls.”

Movement Speed increase: +20% Noise Radius: 2m

Notes: Since Gato’s Healing is short-ranged, he needs to be able to reach allies in high areas and traverse through the map quickly to keep all of the team healthy during a match and himself alive.

Primary Fire: “Crystal Healing”

“Gato uses the crystal in his hand to heal an ally. Healing has 4 charges and is stronger the lower is the target’s current health is.”

1-30% Health: 90 Healing. 31-60% Health: 60 Healing. 61-100% Health: 30 Healing. Max Charges: 4 Recharge: 1.5s Range: 7m

Notes: Gato excels at getting allies out of the danger-zone by healing large amounts of health when the target is near-death, but can’t do much after that as his healing potency drops heavily when the target is above 60% heath.

The small “ammo” in his heals also restrict his effectiveness, as he will not be able to bring too many allies from the brink of death in a short spam of time, giving his enemies time to kill his teammates. Or him.

Secondary Fire: “Suppressed Handgun”

Single-Shot Hitscan. Damage: 20-55. Ammo: 10. Reload Time: 1.6s. Can Headshot.

Notes: Gato’s basic self-defense. To maximize efficiency, Gato should hold onto his heals until allies are in real danger, so in the meantime, he can deal some damage with his handgun. Its hitscan nature also allows him to help taking out specific long-range enemies like Phara and Widowmaker.

Shift-Ability: “9 Lives”

“Upon use, Gato becomes invisible for 3s and leaves behind an iIllusion of himself that lasts 8s.

The illusion has the same current health as Gato, stands still and Using the ability again makes Gato teleport back to his original position.”

Duration:8s Cooldown: 6s Special: Illusion looks identical to Gato for enemies. Allies see a shadowy copy of him with actual cat ears and a tail. Attacking the Illusion awards no Ultimate charge.

Notes: This ability doubles as an escape, leaving a decoy behind as Gato flees while invisible, or allowing him to set up a dangerous play by creating a way-out of the fight, diving into the middle of the enemy team(to heal or use his ultimate), then teleporting back to the safety of his backline.

The clone can be destroyed however, requiring positioning to be used effectively.

Ability E: “Copycat”

“Gato creates an illusion of himself that seeks allies to heal. Illusion always heals the ally with the lowest health in range.

The illusion has the same current health as Gato and disappears after 8s, or when killed.”

Healing: Standard Values. Clone’s Vision Range: 15m. Duration:8s Cooldown: 10s Special: Illusion looks identical to Gato for enemies. Allies see a shadowy copy of him with actual cat ears and a tail. Attacking the Illusion awards no Ultimate charge.

Notes: Used to increase Gato’s healing output for a short time or to allow him to be in two places at once(Healing the frontline while helping the backline that’s being dove).

Ultimate: “Nightmare”

“Gato creates a globe of dark magic in a large area that blinds enemies inside, limiting their vision to 5 meters for 6s or while inside.

Enemies outside the globe can’t see in but can shoot through the globe. Allies are unaffected”

Range: 40m Duration: 6s Status: “Blinded”, Hero sees complete darkness after 5m.

Note: This both an offensive and defensive ability, as it is perfect to counter vision-based cooldowns/ultimates as well ass setting up teammates, since enemies caught in the area won’t be able to see whats coming and will have trouble counter-attacking or finding a way out of the dark zone.

Trivia:

Viola’s birth name is Viola de la Luna, but he had it changed after being adopted by Charles Nakasio.

His birthday is July 22.

Viola has a twin brother and they were both raised by a very uncaring grandmother. Once they turned 18 they left their home to search for their parents.

While his brother sought after their biologic father, Viola searched for their mother. His trail ran cold at Charles Nakasio, who was a friend of hers. With nowhere else to go, he stayed with Charles and was eventually adopted.

Viola and his brother don’t get along, and he has a personal grudge agains their father, explaining why he decided to stay with Charles.

Viola works as a tailor assistant in his adoptive father’s store between missions. He’s very good at it.

Viola’s natural hair and eye color were black and dark-brown, but they changed to white and orange after he started using the Moon’s Fortune.

Viola uses the stone to heal his father, but it can’t get rid of his disease permanently, and the more he uses, lesser is its effect.

In exchange for his work, Viola receives a serum from Doctor Moira to treat his father’s condition. It will take several doses to completely cure his father, meaning he will be working with Talon for quite a while…
