Posting backlog 3/20: Hanzo and Efi

I think he'd be (begrudgingly) good with kids. He treats them like adults- doesn't belittle or make them feel stupid. So yeah :)

[looses-gooses]

Straight up forgot to post this . Mb y’all.

Anyway. Yeehan week day 2: family. They’re such girl dads ❤️

To: Fola Oladele From: Efi Oladele Subject: Greetings from Watchpoint: Gibraltar! I can't believe we're really here! The dropship Sojourn sent for us was actually way scarier than anything I could imagine, but the watchpoint is… incredible - it looks just like the old holovids, and speaking of that team, I've met so many familiar faces: Reinhardt, Winston, Tracer… I was almost too nervous to introduce myself, but luckily Orisa had no such trouble. At first we weren't the only newcomers - a lot of really amazing people from all around the world gathered to join Overwatch after the Null Sector attacks. Oh, I almost forgot the best part. Lucio is here, Mama! You should have seen his face when Orisa and I walked in. I think he was even more [surprised?] than me! He gave me the some new albums to send home - he signed everything too. When you see Hasana and Naade, please share these with them. (You might want to wear earplugs, though - their screams could deafen even Sound Quake.) This is everything I've ever hoped for, Mama. With the Junies keeping Numbani safe, Orisa and I can […] everywhere we're needed (and judging by the […] Winston is running on this old base, I think my talents are very needed.) Maybe we won't solve every problem overnight, but I'm excited to help where I can. It's like you said: if Orisa and I can make the world just a little bit better, that will be enough. I have you and Dad to thank! I know I'll have lots of stories to share when I come home again. Love, Efi PS: Orisa says she [misses?] you too!

Orisa and Efi Rotìmí Opèyèmi Oluwadaré Gabrielle Oladele in Introducing Orisa | Overwatch

“But that name. No, that’s no good. Every great hero needs a real name.” This robot would be Numbani’s protector and savior; she needed a name that would carry with it great weight and honor. “What about … Orisa?” Efi said. The thought had come to her as naturally as breathing, named for the spirit gods of her people. “My name is Orisa,” the robot said, settling back onto her haunches and nodding once, as if the name suited her. But in the next instant, she was back on high alert, golden eyes narrowed into slits and trained firmly on Efi. “I will keep you safe. That is my primary function.” - "The Hero of Numbani" by Nicky Drayden

wouldn’t efi only be like 14 by now in the timeline? how did they allow her to join overwatch 💀

I believe Efi is 12-13 in Overwatch 2 since Orisa was made pretty quickly after Doomfist was broken out of prison.

As for her stance in Overwatch she's likely only going to be helping with the tech side of things, fixing things in the Watchpoint that are broken, setting up firewalls, stuff like that. I don't think they'd send a child that young onto the battle field. She will likely be an Oracle type character with Orisa being the one on the battlefield.

Also I do think that usually no one in Overwatch would allow her to join but considering Overwatch's state right now combined with the world's state, they are likely forced to make an exception with literally all of their technical experienced members being on the field.

It's also hard to argue when Efi created Orisa, something that is an actual threat to Doomfist by herself, actually beat Doomfist with Orisa, Lucio, and a drama class with no casualties or grievous injuries, and is single handedly defending Numbani with robots she made to be assistant robots in the matter of a few minutes.

But again, the world is basically in the process of ending so they kind of need all the help they can get.

Do you need a hug? ^^

[nobelity]

ive been looking at this photo efi sent to her mom

i think its kinda interesting how both bap and pharah are turned back from the camera. i can't think of a reason why they would be? maybe pharah has disagreements about a little girl joining overwatch due to her whole thing with her mom. baptiste i can't think of a reason though.

[whatzaoverwatch]

I’m glad we can follow up from Heroes of Numbani by having Efi and Orisa officially in Overwatch. However it feels off that we only get this from a small tablet on the map. Also please read the novel it’s really good

[arclundarchivist]

Reading through the Heroes Ascension Book, and here’s the stuff I found that seemed like set up for future, likely sidelined story content :/

But there are also hints for stuff that could show up in the main blame through interactions and some possible new characters.

Rebuilding Ruins: Symmetra/Lifeweaver Story

• ⁠Lifeweaver is living at the Atlantic Arcology, which comes under attack by Null Sector, which could have been a major problem due to their “guests”.

• ⁠Symmetra is working against negative influences inside Vishkar, but how far that will get her is up in the air and Lifeweaver invites her to join him at the Arcology as a member of the “Collective”, an altruistic group of scientists and intellectuals.

Unity: Orisa/Efi Story

• ⁠Numbani comes under assault by Null Sector, with Humans defending their Omnic neighbors much more openly than other places.

• ⁠Efi creates a bunch of small drones to help defend Numbani, so that Orisa and her can leave Numbani to help people.

• ⁠Story ends with the pair planning on setting out immediately, and takes place around the same time as the Rio Mission, Efi may be seeking out Overwatch.

Luck of the Draw: Ashe Story

• ⁠Ashe and the Deadlocks were attempting to break into the Las Vegas criminal underground.

• ⁠Ashe nearly died defending BOB, who in turn is almost taken captive by Null Sector.

• ⁠It confirmed damaging or removing the “helmets” on an Omnic causes them to have a “seizure” and die. (What the fuck Rammatra?)

A Friendly Rivalry: Junkers Story.

• ⁠Junker Queen almost had Roadhog and Junkrat executed.

• ⁠Junkrat reveals his secret treasure: A giant airship stored within the last remnants of the Omnium beneath Junkertown. Queen and Hammond begin making plans to get it airborne again.

Thoughtless Gods: Hammond Story (And boy these is a lot of worldbuilding in this one)

• ⁠Direct sequel to the previous story.

• ⁠Reveals that Omnics remaining in the Outback are oddly feral and corrupted in some fashion, cannibalizing each other for parts and actively “hunting” Junkers. Hammond has no idea what caused this.

• ⁠Hammond remembers his time being experimented on the Moon Colony, he is apparently “older” than Winston has he gained awareness before hand, and sort of became a “big brother” to Winston.

• ⁠The apes and Hammond were not the first experiments. There were failures, apparently some other kind of animals, that are still up on the Moonbase. Hammond calls them “wrong”.

• ⁠The apes have a whole society, are building weapons and armor and may be constructing a whole new building/device on the Colony.

• ⁠Possible hints at the Mars Colony.

• ⁠Two apes are named. Oscar, unknown, and Dyson, a large, cruel Orangutan - feels like a character set up.

Where Honor Lives: Hanzo/Kiriko Story

• ⁠Shimada weaponry have “special energy tech”, throws more confusion on the “is this magic” question surrounding the Japanese characters abilities. The Hashimoto are attempting to copy the designs but “they can’t manifest the proper power”. (This seems to be due to Kiriko’s father purposefully give them shoddy work but they don’t know that).

• ⁠The Hashimoto can work with impunity in Tokyo, and are causing trouble even with Null Sector literally on the horizon.

• ⁠Hanzo and Kiriko’s interactions again confuse the whole age gap, because he treats her as if she was a tween when he was a teen.

• ⁠Hanzo joins Kiriko in protecting Kanezaka from the invasion.

Lost Ghosts: Soldier/Ana Story

• ⁠Ana splits from Jack after learning he’s been sitting on the list of Overwatch agent names using it to track Talon movements and not warning the targets. She isn’t joining Overwatch but is going to be trying to protect remaining Agents who haven’t answered the Recall but are not yet dead to Talon.

• ⁠We meet another old Overwatch agent Mirembe, who is thinking about answering the Recall, I think she’s the woman that was standing in the group photo from Ana’s trailer.

• ⁠Another, Kimiko, is named.

Lucky Man: Soldier/Sombra Story

• ⁠Sombra has been leaking info to Soldier, because she believes the cabal she is after is also to blame for that happened in Zurich.

• ⁠Jack has been hunting Talon as a proxy because he never truly believed they took down the HQ. He also doesn’t believe Reyes knew what was going to happen.

• ⁠Sombra and Jack seem to be set up to continue working together, and Jack is headed to Oasis hunting for more clues on the Cabal.

The Fourth day of Christmas: Orisa and Echo and Efi

[bugtimeagainbabey]

happy birthday orisa!!!!!!!

really happy on how this came out :>]

[overwatchloresnstuff]

Orisa lore

Orisa was originally an OR15 Idina unit, one of a squadron deployed in Numbani to participate in its defense. Their first task was to defend the Doomfist Gauntlet, an advanced prosthetic that was being moved to the Numbani Heritage Museum on Unity Day. This was considered the end of an era, and once the gauntlet was on display, the security would make it nearly impossible for any enterprising criminal to recover.

Doomfist beat them to it. He seized his gauntlet at the airport, and devastated the OR15s waiting to take it into custody. Doomfist hated everything Unity Day stood for; humans and omnics were not to be peaceful with one another. In his opinion accepting omnics had made man weak, and so he was determined to sow discord throughout Numbani.

Sadly, the OR15s were considered totaled. As unawakened drones with no sentience, they were auctioned off as spare parts. With Numbani’s future uncertain, and Doomfist spreading terror throughout the city, they were gathering funds for their defense. Selling the robots as scrap metal was, seemingly, the best they could do.

Enter Efi Oladele. She purchased the chassis of a shattered OR15 unit for 1 million naira on behalf of her grants by the Adawe Foundation. The young engineer, barely 11 years old, rolled up her sleeves and got to work. The OR15 unit in her care needed a new fusion driver, a Brandford Arm capable of firing pulse munitions generated by the reactor, and a strong Tobelstein reactor capable of generating gravitron fields. Efi wasn’t just building a bodyguard or something to put back into service. She was going to end Doomfist, or drive him out of Numbani forever.

Efi and her friends Hassana and Naade got to work rebuilding the OR15. Efi took heavy influence from the Overwatch heroes of old, as well as her own Yoruba culture. She named her Orisa, taking inspiration from her unit name as well as the orisha, Yoruba spirits that represent Supreme Divinity.

The project consumed Efi. She obtained the Brandford arm, even though it had to be upgraded as it was from an OR14 unit. Naade generated a new voice for Orisa, blending the voices of Efi, Efi’s mother and grandmother, and President Adawe together into a unique sound only Orisa would possess. As Doomfist spent weeks causing hell around Numbani, Efi’s work ethic, heavy handed schedule, and frustrations drove Naade and Hassana away. She worked on Orisa alone, debugging, reprogramming, and fighting with a modified version of Liao’s Adaptive Artificial Intelligence….the same intelligence that created the god programs. Efi was no fool. She put in a shutdown code imbedded in Lucio’s song ‘We Move Together as One’. If Orisa hears it, she will stop what she is doing as an emergency protocol.

Efi eventually settled on a blend of AAI, some “borrowed” subroutines from the Numbani military, and programming of her own. Orisa would be trained in military field first aid, military strategy, and would be programmed to be a model citizen alongside a terrifying warrior. Along with upgraded armored plating, and a new faceplate, Orisa was complete.

All that was left to do was turn her on.

Orisa booted up beautifully. She was no awakened omnic, and would hold no true sentience. Chained to her programming, she would have no choice but to be the new hero Numbani needed. However, Orisa needed to be put through her paces.

Efi started her on several standard robotics tests to gauge dexterity. She had her hold a glass. Orisa shattered it instantly, and Efi cut herself picking up the pieces. Upon seeing the blood, Orisa leapt into action, seizing Efi’s arm and attempting to cauterize the wound. Panicked, seeing as Orisa was about to use a very large cauterizing plasma cutter on a very small hand cut, Efi played her shutdown code.

Efi didn’t blame Orisa; the adaptive AI was still trying to find its feet, and the poor thing was only a few hours old. She showed Orisa a cardboard cutout of Doomfist instead, telling her that was her enemy. Efi cut back a bit on Orisa’s weaponry, and decided to take her to the outskirts of Numbani to get familiar with the city.

It was an unmitigated disaster. Orisa’s sense of Justice was extremely strong, and a strange robot didn’t fit in well on the streets of Numbani after the spectacular failure of the OR15 squad. After trying and failing to fit Orisa into a tram, the pair decided to walk. However, things didn’t get out of control until Efi spotted a man trying to break into a vehicle and pointed it out to Orisa. She ordered him to bring him to justice, as a test of her AI.

Orisa charged the man, who fled in panic with the robot hot on his heels. Orisa smashed through the streets in pursuit of her prey, quickly outstripping poor Efi…and now out of range of her shutdown code. Orisa ran down her prey like she had been designed to do, hoisted the would-be thief into the air, apprehending him. Efi stopped her just in time, and the pair retreated home after dropping their quarry at the police station, rattled but unharmed.

Perhaps Orisa’s programming was working a bit too well. Unfortunately, news of the incident had gotten out, and by morning the only assistance job Efi could get Orisa was stacking cans in a local grocery store. Unfortunately for Orisa and every member of the public shopping that day, she was just too big for the store. Her mannerisms and firm insistence on helping people drove customers away. People were afraid of her, especially with the new propaganda Doomfist was spreading.

Orisa could tell she was disappointing Efi. She had to try harder!

The next day, they went for a walk around the city. Efi reasoned that Orisa needed lessons in civics. Surely once she got the laws down, she would be fine enforcing them. Orisa was uneasy walking around the city…she was regretting smashing the place up just chasing a car thief. Efi reassured her that was what her empathy module was for, and not to worry about it.

Things went from bad to worse. Orisa caused a car pileup when she neglected to wait for the light to turn before escorting an old lady across the street. She simply stiff armed the vehicles, protecting her charge and Efi but causing hideous damage to property all along a major section of Numbani. With Orisa embarrassed and Efi terrified of another incident, Orisa was sent back to her docking bay until Efi could decide what was to be done with her.

Orisa worried. She just couldn’t do anything right. Her biometric scans told her Efi was stressed and upset. Orisa didn’t want to be a failure either. Quietly, Orisa used Efi’s computers to purchase a lower-quality gravitron processor from the Junkers. It wasn’t a Tobelstein, but maybe it would help her be less of a failure.

Grimly, Efi made the decision to rip out Orisa’s empathy module, removing Orisa’s ability to feel more complex emotions like self-doubt, worry, sadness, or compassion. She needed a weapon, and not a self-conscious toddler.

Doomfist attacked the Numbani Heritage Museum the next day, and Orisa sprang into action unbidden. Efi tried to get her to stop, but without her empathy module, she was deaf to Efi’s impassioned pleas that she wasn’t ready.

Orisa plunged into battle, but blew her shields too early. Doomfist watched as the shields ran down Orisa’s power reserves, and used his strength against her as he had before. The strike didn’t kill her this time, thanks to her upgraded machinery, but Orisa was badly wounded. As Doomfist raised his arm to strike the final blow, Efi ran between the two of them. Doomfist, unimpressed at the 11 year old barrier, moved to slap her aside. At the last moment, Orisa reactivated her shields and pushed Doomfist back with her Junker-made gravitron, climbing to her feet. With sirens blaring and the military on its way, Doomfist and Talon retreated.

Efi decided to put Orisa into military training full time. Naade insisted on showing Orisa footage of the Numbani Airport attack, where Orisa got to see her OR15 self slammed into the wall. Doomfist was a monster that wouldn’t hesitate to hurt people, and Orisa needed to see what he had done to her. Efi worried the footage would traumatize her impressionable robot, and her fears were soon realized.

On a training run at their school, several students were dressing up as Doomfist. Orisa, remembering the footage of her killer, fired on the children. She injured several of them before Efi was able to use her shutdown code.

It was a step too far.

Orisa pleaded for her life. She was still learning! She was barely weeks old and still getting a handle on life let alone the monumental task she had been built for!

Efi, sorrowfully, put Orisa into stasis. She, much like Echo, was put into storage. Not alive, not dead, but asleep.

Lucio, scheduled to perform at the next Unity Day celebration, had heard Efi was on the lookout for a Tobelstein reactor, and helped get her one. Efi was torn; here was the final upgrade for Orisa…but could she keep a handle on her? She installed the upgrade, replacing the Junker-made one, and made the decision to reactivate Orisa’s compassion module.

Awake again, the full weight of what Orisa had done settled on her shoulders. She could feel again, and regret and grief at attacking a defenseless child who had only been playing washed over her. Efi apologized; she had been impatient with Orisa. She was a new AI, tantamount to an infant, and it had been unfair to push her. Efi admitted that when push came to shove, she simply hadn’t wanted the responsibility…she had been so focused on Doomfist, she hadn’t been thinking of the AI she had created.

Orisa accepted her apology, and the two danced to Lucio’s music in celebration of Unity Day. Orisa was put on usher duty at the concert, and performed her duties well, proudly, and with less collateral damage than normal. Her duties done, Orisa settled in with Efi to watch her very first concert.

It wasn’t to be. Doomfist attacked en masse, and this time Efi, Lucio, and Orisa banded together. Lucio used his healing music to protect the crowd, and Orisa moved to engage Doomfist. This time, with all her upgrades, the two were evenly matched. The tide was beginning to turn against Doomfist, and he seized one of his own troops as a hostage, threatening to kill him in cold blood.

Efi recognized Doomfist’s plan at once: while she had been upgrading and training Orisa, Doomfist had been recruiting from Numbani itself. The young man he held was none other than one of Efi’s cousins, a man named Bisi, that she had been close to when she was younger. She couldn’t reach either Doomfist or Bisi in time; it was up to Orisa.

Orisa had a choice to make. She could let Doomfist crush Bisi’s throat, and take Doomfist into custody. Or she could save Efi’s cousin…but let Doomfist escape. Logic dictated that arresting Doomfist was priority. Her compassion bade her to save the human so callously hung in front of Akande.

Orisa chose Bisi.

Doomfist fled Numbani by the skin of his teeth, and Bisi was arrested for his involvement in Talon.

Despite the bittersweet ending, Lucio, Efi and Orisa were hailed as heroes. Efi and Orisa dedicated themselves to protecting Numbani’s peace…now more than ever.
