WHAT JEWEL ARE YOUR BONES MADE OUT OF?

[ just for my loudest muses at present, because I’m curious ]

AJ WARREN

STAR SAPPHIRE well hello, beautiful. ✦ how does it feel to have their eyes on you all the time? ✦ do you like to perform? do you like the way their hands reach for you as you turn in the spotlight? ✦ do you wish they would stop? ✦ they won’t. they can’t help it. ✦ is that the reaction you wanted? you want them to laugh, to cry, to moan, to yell at you maybe. ✦ you only exist in the lines spreading across the faces of others, right? ✦ if nobody thinks of you, you aren’t. so you make yourself headline news and they won’t look away ✦ attention won’t solidify you when the sun comes up and love won’t fill that hole inside. ✦ you might want to install an alarm system. just because they want you, doesn’t mean you have to give yourself.

Argentina, 1985

★★★★☆ El complicado equilibrio entre el rigor histórico y la ficción cinematográfica es el ingrediente indispensable de las grandes películas. De esas que con el paso de los años se tornan atemporales y, del mismo modo, inolvidables. Algo así ocurre con la disfrutable y estremecedora Argentina, 1985. La película de Santiago Mitre es un recordatorio inmarcesible de los acontecimientos que…

Magnificent MLM Matchup Quarterfinals: Matchup 2

Spock - The FIght so Far

Spock, like Phoenix in the previous poll, started in Round 2, but has shown no signs of slowing down.

In his debut round, he blew the competition out of the water, beating the titular Hannibal Lecter with 78% of the vote. He would follow this up with another spectacular performance in Round 3, beating Wainwright Jakobs from Borderlands with 75.8%.

His toughest battle was Round 4, where he only got 58.8% of the vote against Team Rocket from Pokémon

And in the previous round, he was against the powerhouse that was Kim Kitsuragi from Disco Elysium. He won with 683 votes, or 59.5% of the 1,148 votes cast between the two, sending him to the quarterfinals.

Benoit Blanc - The Fight so Far

The detective also started in Round 2, one of the few whose opponent also started in the second round.

In said matchup, he defeated Naruto from Naruto with 78%, just like his current adversary.

Round 3 was his closest victory yet, with 50.1% of the vote against the perfect scientist Carlos from Welcome to Night Vale. Since there were only 427 votes, he won by exactly 1.

Round 4 had him against Zagreus from Hades, but he prevailed with 54.5%. In Round 5 he did even better, securing 57.5% of the 546 votes against Zuko, winning with a total of 314 votes.

So now, my voters, cast your vote

Deutschribing Germany

Literature

Middle Ages (5th-15th centuries)

Medieval German literature can be divided into two periods: Old High German literature (8th-11th centuries) and Middle High German literature (12th-14th centuries). The only surviving works from the first period are the Hildebrandslied (Lay of Hildebrand), which is the earliest poetic text in German and tells of the tragic encounter in battle between a father and a son, and Muspilli, which deals with the fate of the soul after death and at the Last Judgment.

Middle High German literature saw a 60-year golden age known as mittelhochdeutsche Blütezeit, in which lyric poetry in the form of Minnesang—the German version of courtly love—blossomed thanks to poets such as Walther von der Vogelweide and Wolfram von Eschenbach. Another important genre during this time was epic poetry, of which the most famous example is the Nibelungenlied (The Song of the Nibelungs), which narrates the story of prince Siegfried and princess Kriemhild, among other characters.

Renaissance (15th-16th centuries)

Early New High German literature includes works such as Der Ring (The Ring) by Heinrich Wittenwiler, a 9,699-line satirical poem where each line is marked with red or green ink depending on the seriousness of the material, and Das Narrenschiff (Ship of Fools) by Sebastian Brant, a satirical allegory that contains the ship of fools trope.

Other important authors are satirist and poet Thomas Murner, humanist Sebastian Franck, and poets Johannes von Tepl and Oswald von Wolkenstein.

Baroque (16th-17th centuries)

The Baroque period is characterized by works that reflected the experiences of the Thirty Years’ War and tragedies (Trauerspiele) on Classical themes, the latter were written by authors such as Andreas Gryphius and Daniel Caspar von Lohenstein. The most famous work is Der abenteuerliche Simplicissimus (Simplicius Simplicissimus) by Hans Jakob Christoffel von Grimmelshausen, a picaresque novel that narrates the adventures of the naïve Simplicissimus.

Enlightenment (17th-18th centuries)

The most important writers of the Enlightenment are Christian Felix Weiße, Christoph Martin Wieland, Gotthold Ephraim Lessing, and Johann Gottfried Herder.

The Age of Reason saw the emergence of two literary movements: Empfindsamkeit (sentimental style) and Sturm und Drang (storm and stress). The first one intended to express true and natural feelings and featured sudden mood changes. The latter movement was characterized by individual subjectivity and extremes of emotion in response to the rationalism imposed by the Enlightenment.

Weimar Classicism (18th-19th centuries)

The main drivers behind Weimar Classicism, which synthesized ideas from Classicism, the Enlightenment, and Romanticism, were Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. 

During this period, Schiller published Die Bürgschaft (The Pledge), a ballad based on the legend of Damon and Pythias found in the Latin Fabulae, and Don Karlos (Don Carlos), a historical tragedy about Carlos, Prince of Asturias, while Goethe wrote Egmont, a play heavily influenced by Shakespearean tragedy, and Faust, a tragic play in which the main character sells his soul to the devil that is considered the greatest work of German literature.

Romanticism (18th-19th centuries)

Important Romantic writers include E. T. A. Hoffmann, author of Der Sandmann (The Sandman), a short story based on the mythical character of said name that puts people to sleep by sprinkling sand on their eyes; Heinrich von Kleist, who wrote Das Kätchen von Heilbronn (The Little Catherine of Heilbronn), a drama set in Swabia in the Middle Ages; Joseph Freiherr von Eichendorff, author of Das Marmorbild (The Marble Statue), a novella about a man who struggles to choose between piety and a world of art, and Novalis, author of Hymnen an die Nacht (Hymns to the Night), a collection of six poems.

Folk tales collected by the Brothers Grimm became very popular during the Romantic period, as they represented a pure form of national literature and culture.

Biedermeier and Young Germany (19th century)

The Biedermeier period contrasts with the Romantic era and is best exemplified by poets Adelbert von Chamisso, Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, and Wilhelm Müller.

Young Germany was a youth movement whose main proponents were Karl Gutzkow, Ludolf Wienbarg, and Theodor Mundt.

Realism and Naturalism (19th century)

The most representatives realist authors are Gustav Freytag, Theodor Fontane, and Theodor Storm, while Gerhart Hauptmann was the most important naturalist writer.

Weimar literature (20th century)

During the Weimar Republic, writers such as Erich Maria Remarque, Heinrich Mann, and Thomas Mann presented a bleak look at the world and the failure of politics and society.

Expressionism (20th century)

As a modernist movement, Expressionism presented the world solely from a subjective perspective, distorting it for emotional effect. Famous authors include novelists Alfred Döblin and Franz Kafka, playwrights Ernst Toller and Georg Kaiser, and poets August Stramm and Else Lasker-Schüler.

Neue Sachlichkeit (20th century)

Neue Sachlichkeit (New Objectivity) arose as a reaction against expressionism and was characterized by its political perspective on reality and portrayal of dystopias in an emotionless reporting style, showing cynicism about humanity. Authors associated with this movement include Erich Kästner, Hans Fallada, and Irmgard Keun.

Nazi Germany (1933-1945)

During the Nazi regime, some authors went into exile, while others submitted to censorship. The former, who either were of Jewish ancestry or opposed the regime for political reasons, include writers Alice Rühle-Gerstel and Anna Seghers, playwright Bertolt Brecht, and poet and novelist Hermann Hesse/Emil Sinclair.

Those who stayed and engaged in inner emigration include writer Friedrich Reck-Malleczewen, poet and essayist Gottfried Benn, writer Hans Blüher, and poet and novelist Ricarda Huch.

Post-war literature (20th century)

The most famous authors in West Germany were Edgar Hilsenrath, Günter Grass, Heinrich Böll, and Group 47, a group of participants in writers’ meetings invited by Hans Werner Richter.

East German writers include Christa Wolf, Heiner Müller, Reiner Kunze, and Sarah Kirsch.

Contemporary literature (21st century)

Fantasy and science fiction authors include Andreas Eschbach, Frank Schätzing, and Wolfgang Hohlbein. Some of the most important poets are Aldona Gustas, Hans Magnus Enzensberger, and Jürgen Becker. Thriller is best represented by Ingrid Noll. Fiction novelists include Herta Müller, Siegfried Lenz, and Wilhelm Genazino.

[f1uckinghell]

With the Flynn-Luna situation from packlings, I think it would be one of the only times where Charles, Michael and Pierre would feel very different and probably upset over Lando and Carlos’ treatment of Flynn and Luna. I see Charles, Michael and Pierre seeing nothing wrong with it, seeing two children (two very good friends) falling for each other and being appalled about what happened with the situation. I think it would be very tense in the family household and there would be some icing our from Team Charles & Michael. Charles would use his fierce loving nature to really shown Carlos & Lando that they were wrong to treat Flynn the way they did

I fully agree!!

Charles would get very mad because he hates the way Carlos locks up and starts blaming Flynn as if Luna was some little pure innocent baby girl when she is very much not- and that is no judgement or bad, it’s just realistic.

Michael would be very hurt by everything being so tense that Flynn and Luna move out, because he was literally kicked out of his own home as a teen for not being how his parents wanted him to be.

They try their best to be there for Flynn and Luna, but also the other kids who are deeply hurt by this and have their own needs; Lucía who misses her sister, Isabel who feels responsible for keeping the family together and taking care of Leah and their baby, Evie and Jakob who are hurt by the whole reaction and torn betwenn sides, Riley who’s at college and trying to navigate this conflict from afar, and Jasper who is just confused by the bad mood in the pack and why Flynn and Luna had to leave. It’s a lot all at once.

TEKHARTHA ZENYATTA

[ canon ]

A wandering monk who wishes to see the world at peace. In his travels, Zenyatta has crossed paths with many over the years who found that they were not the same afterwards, among them Shimada Genji and Satya Vaswani. Whether human or omnic, Zenyatta will protect any in need of aid and give guidance to those who are lost, seeking and creating connections with all of those around him in his quest to assist in healing the world. Despite all of the pain and suffering of his people, still he believes that humans and omnics may one day achieve peace. That it has not yet happened does not mean that it never will. There is no shame in failure. Only in the moment that you give up.

SST LABORATORIES SIEGE AUTOMATON BASTION MODEL E54 // CODENAME: BASTION

[ canon ]

When first created, Bastion units were meant to help offer protection, however, during the crisis, they became the bulk of the omnic armies. In the aftermath of the conflict, most of the units were destroyed or dissembled… this particular unit being an exception as he had been damaged before he could even truly reach his objective and left him dormant. Once awakened a decade afterwards by a little bird, Bastion does not wish for violence or to resume his old programming. He wishes merely to live in peace, currently keeping the company of his little bird friend and of Torbjörn and his family.

ATHENA

[ canon-divergent ]

Originally an AI computer system created by Mina Liao, Athena developed her own personality and interests over the years, including a fascination with all things human. Taken in by Winston following the disbandment of Overwatch, she aided him with his various experiments as well as seeing to it that he was healthy. Very straightforward and logical, she reminded him of the Petras Act when he wished to act in the midst of the chaos and turmoil going on in the world, dissuading him from reactivating Overwatch as it would make him a criminal. Following an attack on their base, no further objections were given and she sent out his call to all (former) agents of Overwatch. Someone needs to do something! Both due to her fascination with humans and her own desire to do more––largely fostered by Winston––at her request, Winston began a project in conjunction with other scientists to build upon the Echo project and previous works with prosthetics to create a body for Athena, made to look more natural by a network of projectors that mask the more robotic aspects of her body. The project was a success and she now works alongside the heroes she has watched over and cared for all these years. Largely still coordinating efforts and dealing with information, she does occasionally venture into the field with the others where her knowledge and continued connection to the network makes her a valuable tactician and strategist.

ELIZABETH CALEDONIA ASHE

[ canon ]

Wild child and family embarrassment are the terms that would be most freely thrown about by her folks, but at the end of the day what best summarizes Ashe is a headstrong woman with a fierce independent streak who wants to carve out her own place in the world––even if that place is at the top of some of several organizations ‘most wanted’ lists. A sharp eye and a shrewd mind for business, Ashe is the head of her own criminal organization––perhaps the largest in the southern United States––and she keeps it running like a well-oiled machine. No honor among thieves? Think again. Because if you cross her, it’ll be the last thing you ever do.

Carlos Reyes

[ canon… divergent? ]

The child of Gabriel and Ramona Reyes, Carlos is no stranger to the concept of serving the greater community, dedicating one’s life to helping others. He is also no stranger to the concept of how such things can be derailed by the greater machinations of a failed system. He had seen it firsthand with the fall of Overwatch, with what happened to his father. To his parents.

He was determined to figure out how things work, because hope against hope, he wanted to be ready, already in place, if the opportunity presented itself––if Overwatch reformed or another group arose in the future to fill the gaping whole that he left. 

Undergraduate in bachelor of science with double major of political science and pre-law, with some business and urban planning courses taken to supplement his degrees. He had already put in applications at universities with applicable law degrees before graduation, giving them dates for when he would be graduating. He was accepted and combined the JD he was seeking with his emphasis on international law. Returning to New York, he passed both his bar and the specialization test.

His father couldn’t sort things his way, so he’s going to take another path.

[ Though that Reyes blood isn’t exactly cooled either. He is the child of his parents. ]

SERGEANT FIRST CLASS CHARLES GREY

[ adapted for Overwatch from The Unit ]

In his originating canon show, Charles Grey was part of the Los Angeles sect of the Byz Lats gang prior to his enlistment. He was brought in by another neighborhood kid and passed the initiation test back in ‘93 as a teen, after his mom died when he was torn up over the loss of the only family he ever had. He used to rob bodegas and partake in all the usual sorts of activities. After a bodega robbery gone bad, he joined up to avoid getting arrested. After several years of service, he came to be among one of the elite units in the United States Army––one of the ones whose very existence is that of non-existence.

With an Overwatch verse, most of this holds true, though with the addition that it was Gabriel Reyes who hauled his ass out of the neighborhood and got him into the army. Got him trained up, in his unit, and then into his black ops unit.

Following Gabriel making the move to Overwatch, Charles ended up following suit, though, for the first time, not on his specific team, but rather he focused on his specialty: explosives.

[ He sometimes wonders in the years after, if someone had realized, had he been alerted to the bomb, could he have averted the explosion that hospitalized Gerard and was seemingly the last straw for Gabriel? ]

After the fall of Overwatch, Charles was one of the few who didn’t scatter. Maybe out of respect for Gabriel, maybe simply because he sees Ramona like a sister and knew she needed somebody around to help her, regardless he stayed nearby and did just that, helping out when he could.

La familia lo es todo.

SERGEANT JAMES VALDEZ

[ adapted for Overwatch from Queen of the South, specifically, from his main blog here ; TW for abuse ]

In a story not unlike that of Charles Grey, though the mirror image of it, after being raised in Texas by a single mother after she left her abusive husband, James joined the military––originally as a means of eventually being able to attend college. Through a bad series of circumstances, he left the military and, after spiraling hard due to the loss of his mother, he ended up working protection for a cartel boss’ wife. Due to his level of skill, he quickly became her righthand man, solving all of the problems while she was running the business stateside, becoming more and more immersed in the cartel, no how much he hated it. Eventually, with the help of someone else, he gets out of the business and starts a new life.

Adapting him to Overwatch, this remains largely the same, with two potential options. 

Path One: he was brought into Los Muertos rather than a cartel for much the same reason, to protect their leadership. Maybe he gets pulled from the gang, maybe he doesn’t. This will be left largely to interactions.

Path Two: if he was still to join the cartel, they got onto the radar of Overwatch and consequently Blackwatch, He was captured in a deal gone bad and was given a way out of the cartel: join. [ Which is honestly what he was counting on all along because he wanted to get caught. ]  While he was not one of the main Blackwatch team––obviously––he is a highly skilled sniper and operator, often working undercover for Overwatch to gather intel.

TAZA

[ adapted for Overwatch from Queen of the South, specifically, from his blog here ]

While the show doesn't specifically say as much, it's pretty much implied that he's the 'leader' of his tribe on their reservation [ though my canon is that it didn't happen until the old leader got voted out for what you're about to read ] .

The reservation put all of their resources and money into building a casino, banking on that being able to get them some revenue. In my canon, that was due to their previous leader who convinced them it was the best course of action. Taza was against it from the start, saying it was trouble and that it would bring trouble.

Taza was right.

The rez over-invested, and without enough return profit, it went bankrupt and put them in a TON of trouble, financially. Knowing they were in dire straits, the cartel approached them, convincing them to be the corridor to bring cocaine from Mexico into the US because the reservation ran along the border (and advantageous for the cartel because LEOs weren't able to be on the Rez without the Feds).

So they didn't have much choice if they wanted to get out of debt and maybe, eventually, manage to improve conditions on the rez, be able to afford clinics and better schools.

With that in mind, I'm thinking it would be pretty easy to say that Ashe or McCree approached him instead, probably still for help with either smuggling things in/out of the country, as well as a depot for things they didn't want to keep in their hideout or needed more space for.

LORENZO VEGA / CHARGER

[ adapted for Overwatch from Queen of the South, specifically, from his blog here ]

Lorenzo and James are close friends and even consider each other to be family. They served together overseas in Afghanistan and remained in contact once they returned home. Lorenzo is, unfortunately and reluctantly, the one who got him the job working security for Los Muertos, after James insisted during part of the worst of his spiral following the death of his mother. Despite pressures and the stress of the job, the two have remained like brothers, though they tend to keep it quiet so that it can’t be used against them.

Wherever James goes, Lorenzo is sure to follow, whether that’s just escaping the gang… or joining Overwatch. 

OFFICER JAMIE REAGAN

[ adapted for Overwatch from Blue Bloods ]

Jamie is an NYPD police officer from a family with three generations of cops. His grandfather and father have served and are serving, respectively, as the police commissioner. His older brother Danny is a detective. He lost another brother in line of duty, later discovered that he was killed by corrupt cops. His older sister, Erin, is the bureau chief for the trial bureau at the Manhattan District Attorney’s office.

His current partner on the job is Officer AJ Warren, and off-duty, he works at her family’s bar to help pay off that Harvard law degree he didn’t really want and certainly isn’t using much walking a beat. [ There’s a price to be paid for trying to give other’s peace of mind, which is exactly what him going to be a lawyer for was, following the death of his brother Joe. ] 

JAI WILCOX

[ adapted for Overwatch from Covert Affairs ]

Head of CIA’s Office of Special Projects, Jai Wilcox has gotten a bad reputation as the son of Henry Wilcox, a disgraced, tried, convicted, and imprisoned Director of Clandestine Services. Not wanting any part of his father’s legacy, Jai has worked hard to make his own way and to differentiate himself from his father––including in his support of Overwatch, something his father was vehemently against… which his father made certain to point out to him when Overwatch imploded, literally. 

Though some assume him to be like his father, Jai is honest, hard-working, and extremely loyal.

CIA OPERATIVE AUGUST “AUGGIE” ANDERSON

[ adapted for Overwatch from Covert Affairs ]

Head of the Technical Operations Department within the Domestic Protections Division [ DPD ], Auggie was special operations with the US Army before he was blinded in an explosion. He is now perhaps the most connected and in the know person in the Agency––both for his computer skills and his people skills––and that’s saying something in a place like that. If you want information and you have the connection, Auggie is the one you approach.

FBI AGENT VINCENT ROSSABI

[ adapted for Overwatch from Covert Affairs ]

Vincent Rossabi was born to father Chaim––an Israeli immigrant––and mother Elisabetta Rossabi. Taking after his parents, he was a hard worker, excelling in school despite a penchant for mischief. He graduated with honors, went to college, and got recruited by the FBI, partly due to his heritage and partly due to his skill with languages. Around this time same, he married a doctor––Sarah Weisman––whom he met while working.

He gained recognition for being one of the best and brightest, an honorable man who did what he said and worked hard. Perhaps a little too hard as he began to drink and his marriage fell apart, Sarah leaving him because she couldn’t deal with the rollercoastering anymore. That was his wakeup call. He started AA and got sober.

By the time he’s in his thirties, he’s working in Washington, D.C. and has a considerable amount of pull and quite a few connections at various levels of the FBI as well as in other agencies, including the CIA. A senior FBI agent, Rossabi has led and continues to lead a number of investigations and operations.

FORMER MOSSAD/KIDON OPERATIVE DR. EYAL LAVIN

[ adapted for Overwatch from Covert Affairs ]

Eyal had been a semester away from graduating medical school when his sister was killed in an attack. He left his dreams of a career in the medical field, helping people, to avenge his sister’s death. He threw himself headlong into the war effort. Only once the war was over did he resume his studies and graduate to become a doctor.

DR. JAKOB HOOD

[ adapted for Overwatch from Eleventh Hour ]

A brilliant biophysicist with a broad range of scientific knowledge, and, in his originating canon, the Special Science advisor for the FBI. For the purpose of Overwatch, I may say he is brought in post-Recall, considering the state of Overwatch's original scientists by that point—with very few exceptions.

NATHAN “NATE” SUMMERS CABLE

[ adapted for Overwatch from Deadpool 2 with some comic influences, specifically, from his main blog here ]

Another of the few survivors of the Soldier Enhancement Program, though he did not come away from it unscathed––as seemed to be the case for any who survived that hell. The damage from the program left him a prime candidate for a new process, one to incorporate technology and more advanced prosthetics. That, too, came with a cost. The process was highly experimental and extremely flawed, drastic measures for drastic problems. The new nanotechnology they intended to better graft metal to skin, prosthetic to body, for a more seamless meshing of organic and not had an unintended and disastrous effect that required another fix to keep that from killing him, to keep the nanites at bay and contained to the area already affected. He tends to stay away from the wars and the politics these days. Away from scientists and doctors. Mostly, he operates as a bounty hunter and a vigilante, particularly in the days following the fall of Overwatch as the world fell further and further into chaos.

LEONARD SNART

[ adapted for Overwatch from The Flash and some influences from DC comics ]

One hell of a thief, Snart is both cunning and skilled in his craft. Known for his precision with both timing and planning, as well as his cool composure even under pressure, he is a difficult one to catch. So much so that he even stole from Overwatch once or twice… one time being since the recall, when he lifted a prototype for a new "cold gun". He has now incorporated it into his bank heists and various other operations to great effect.

HAN CHO BAI

[ adapted for Overwatch from Red 2 ]

A former Korean Intelligence Officer, Han––who had supported Overwatch and even liaised with them on a fair number of occasions––was burned when the organization fell, leaving him little choice but to leave his homeland in Korea to become a fugitive. He did not go quietly. He took his skillset and has since become on of the top unaffiliated assassins in the world.

His own ideals shattered by the events that sent his life off the rails, he holds no loyalty to any cause. Instead, he sells his abilities to the highest bidder. He doesn’t trust loyalty, but money hasn’t failed him yet.

LE CHIFFRE

[ adapted for Overwatch from Casino Royale ]

Though not directly part of Talon, Le Chiffre does work with them, as well as several other organizations. A chess prodigy and a mathematical genius, Le Chiffre is the banker for any and all people or organizations who would prefer not to use official banks… or at least he was prior to a Blackwatch operation that removed him from play, instead placing him quite firmly in their pocket by motivation of his own self-preservation. He is the one who allocates and makes money for Blackwatch to operate at optimum levels until the suspension or its members and the subsequent fall of Overwatch, wherein he went into hiding. Working from the shadows in ever changing locations, Le Chiffre resumed his operation under an assumed name—Mr. White—and continues to do so even until the point of Recall.

OFFICER AJ WARREN

[ original character; TW for abuse ]

Alice Janette "AJ" Warren was born on November 3 to James and Abigail Warren in New York City. At the time, her dad was in the military and deployed. As such, much of AJ's early life was spent with her mother, her father only home between deployments.

In the beginning, this was fine, or at least it seemed so. Unfortunately, when AJ was very small, still a toddler, she developed a terrible fear of the dark and would cry all night if not seen to. Eventually, amid other stress and post-partem depression that never quite got better, her mother grew tired of it, getting more irritated with the young girl. The mother's irritation eventually became more than that the older AJ got. It became verbal abuse, which eventually escalated into physical abuse.

What made it worse is that her mother would improve greatly anytime her father was home, and was always careful not only to not lay a hand on her anywhere that would be clearly visible but to stop with enough time that the bruises would fade before the girl's father returned. The few that were still visible would be explained as the girl being clumsy. Her dad seemed to accept the explanations, and little AJ never argued, but she became more and more withdrawn.

She was in fourth grade when someone noticed. AJ’s English teacher, Mrs. Blake had noticed that the girl had a tendency to wear long sleeves or jackets even when the temperatures were practically sweltering and the way the girl would flinch at loud noise and sudden movements. Mrs. Blake informed her husband, the School Resource Officer. Inquiries were soon being made and, along the way, a mistake when AJ’s mother was called and asked if she knew who might be causing her daughter’s injuries. She lied.

When AJ got home, she got her worst beating yet. She missed school for three days, something that had never happened before. The police were informed and went on a call to check after the child’s welfare. Despite her mother’s insistence that AJ was merely sick, the police didn’t back down and eventually gained entry to the home. Child Protective Services were called and the police officers stayed with AJ––talking to her and trying to make her smile, to assure her that she would be fine now––until CPS and the paramedics showed up to take her from the home and to the hospital.

AJ’s father was informed, and––along with a divorce––arrangements were made for her grandfather to take custody of her until he was able to obtain leave. Shortly thereafter, her father retired from the military and became a police officer in New York City, something he had intended to do as his own father had, though originally not until a later date.

AJ made a lot of progress after being taken from her mother’s custody––even beginning to get counseling for her trauma from the abuse––and, over time and with the support of her father, she truly came out of her shell.

By the time she was in high school, there were few indications of her history. She had made friends. She’d joined theater and then the dance team. She was a stellar student who graduated with honors and already knew what she wanted to do with her life. She had known since the two police officers had stayed with her that day when she was hurting and scared and they had tried to comfort her.

With a partial scholarship, AJ attended college and earned an Associate’s degree in Law Enforcement and a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice Administration, with minors in Psychology and Sociology, and with that under her belt, she became a police officer for NYPD.

Due to the starting pay of rookie police officers and her trying to put back money for a place of her own and to pay off her student loans, AJ started working a second job at her family's bar, the one her grandfather had kept going all the years.

Even once the ‘rookie’ title wore off, she continued her job at the bar, deciding that she enjoyed the work, keeping up with the regulars, lending an ear when needed. She’d earned the respect of most of the patrons, no longer getting cat calls (and the few times she did, there was always one of the regulars who’d step up and tell whoever the newcomer was to sit his ass back down and enjoy his drink or leave). It was no doubt odd, but it was a family of sorts, just like her police family––one of whom is her partner Jamie Reagan, who also works at the bar a few nights a week.

ABIGAIL “ABBY” DEKKER

[ original character ]

Once a soldier, shrapnel from a blast left her with an incomplete spinal injury at the L4 part of her spine, medically retiring her and leaving her struggling to come to terms with what had happened and what it would mean for her life. The following years were unpleasant, between the recovery, physical therapy, and coping with the understanding that nothing she could do would improve her condition. Not wishing to remain wheelchair bound, when the opportunity arose she took part in several cutting edge attempts to create implants that would convey the signals that the damaged nerves could not, and, eventually, they were successful. With more physical therapy and hard work, she regained the ability to walk and to move as she once did, though it has not been without its cost. A sharp sense of humor maintained despite it all, Abby lives each day like her last, doing everything she can for her community and those around her, including throwing herself into the middle of a crisis if necessary to protect those around her, which is, consequently, how she met Genji. Once a soldier, always a soldier.

MIKHAIL PETRAS

[ original character ]

The son of Director Petras, Mikhail is well-educated and well-spoken, having received the finest schooling. With that, he followed his interests––public relations and law, as to him they logically aligned themselves, one informing the other more often than not. His father approved of the choice, thinking that experience with either could easily gain insight and connections that might aid him in any future endeavors such as to hold public office. His father was unaware that he had no intentions in following such a path. He grew up quite aware of Overwatch, both their hero status and the difficulty of their existence––as they were a paramilitary group beyond the scope of governance of any one country, and thus were subject only to the United Nations. When it fell apart, he was unsurprised. [ Such an organization could hardly be expected to function in the way that it must when under the thumbs of so many. ] Unfortunately, all that outlawing Overwatch seemed to do was allow more chaos, more violence, more destruction. Mikhail was yet another victim of this––though he would be the first to say that he was one of the lucky ones. During an attack in Egypt where he was living at the time, Mikhail was critically injured in an explosion. Hospitalized for some time, he survived the ordeal, but with permanent scarring and nerve damage due to the severity. When Overwatch recalled, at last Mikhail had his opportunity to follow the path he had intended for himself: he offered his aid to their newly reformed organization, to supply them with his knowledge, assistance, and guidance in winning he public’s trust once more and navigating the political and legal issues that would arise. Though soft-spoken both by nature and by necessity with his injury, still he as an oddly compelling and charismatic speaker who is always very articulate and precise in his work.

SARAH ELLSWORTH

[ original character ]

Having seen the effects of war with her parents and with those around her as she grew up, Sarah always possessed an empathy and desire to help others as they carried their various experiences––those easily seen and those easily missed burdens alike. When she graduated from school, she began university with the intent of becoming a therapist. She studied and worked hard, and eventually achieved her goal. Her supervised clinical hours helped to earn her a reputation as being exceedingly good at her job, and, upon graduation, she had no difficulty with finding work and establishing a name for herself in her field.

Following the recall of Overwatch, its new leadership reaches out to her, wanting to avoid the mistakes of the past, wanting to promote a healthier work environment and better mental health and support for all of those on the team. After some deliberation––mostly for the sake of her current patients  who she diligently referred to other therapists who she felt would best suit them––she accepted the invitation to work for them.

PARAMEDIC DELILAH “DEL” HASHEMI

[ original character ]

Del started out in the military as a combat medic. Through her time with the military, she drew the attention of staff within Overwatch and was eventually recruited to it once her time in the military was up, essentially continuing her work as a combat medic. She was with Overwatch until its implosion, leaving to become a paramedic with the city of New York, her hometown.

She has continued in this career since that day, keeping her head down… though occasionally helping out some old friends when they were in need… and moonlighting as an off the books doctor/occasional surgeon for those same friends. It is during this time that she decides to actually get a medical degree.

By the time Overwatch recalls, she has her degree and is working as doctor. Still she chooses to answer, uprooting herself once more to return to her friends––her family.

SAMANTHA “SAM” MITCHELL

[ original character ]

An old friend James made while he was serving overseas. Sam worked for a government contractor at the time that would often work in conjunction with his unit and others in that particular area. She was the lead security specialist/coordinator for that particular group and served as a mentor of sorts for James who she recognized has a mind for details and logistics.

She later retired from her contractor work to instead work freelance, doing security work for individuals and companies alike.

CALISTA “CALLIE” VALDEZ

[ original character ]

James has always told anyone who asks that he’s an only child, except one time when he as undercover and he twisted the truth a little, saying he had a little sister but that she had died when they were young. The truth is that he does have a younger sister who is very much alive and lives to harass, tease, and otherwise poke at him to this day––even if, prior to the fall of Overwatch––she didn’t see him very much.

Five-Run 12th Helps Brewers Beat Twins.

Brewers 8 Twins 4 W-Junis (2-0) L-Okert (4-2)

The Minnesota Twins opened up the second half of the season against the border rival Brewers tonight. Pitching dominated early and the Brewers struck first in the third inning. Garrett Mitchell led-off the third with a double to right and Jackson Chuorio singled him home. Meanwhile, Freddy Peralta ran with it through six scoreless innings of work. Pablo Lopez was brilliant through seven innings. The Twins made things interesting in the eighth when Willi Castro lined a one-out double to left. He reached third on a wild pitch and avoided a tag at the plate to tie the game at one. Neither side scored in the ninth and we needed extra innings. Both teams couldn't scored in the tenth and Joey Ortiz beat a tag at the plate to put Milwaukee on top. Christian Yelich bunted home a run and the Brewers led by two. The Twins were down to their last at-bat when Carlos Santana smacked a Jakob Junis fastball out to right for a two-run homer. This tied the game at three and we headed into the twelfth. Blake Perkins led-off with an infield single and Jake Bauers popped up a bunt that Steven Okert couldn't field. Joey Ortiz hit a sac fly, Jackson Chuorio hit an RBI single and Brice Turang knocked in a pair with a double to right. William Contreras hit a run-scoring single to center and the Brewers lead grew to five. The Twins got a run back in the bottom of the twelfth as Byron Buxton hit an RBI single to center. Brooks Lee flew out to left to end the game and the Brewers took the first game of the series.

-Final Thoughts- Pablo Lopez was great tonight and the team didn't give him any run support. He went seven innings and allowed a run on four hits with a walk and seven strikeouts. Jorge Alcala put up a zero in the eighth and Griffin Jax had a 1-2-3 ninth. Jhoan Duran fanned two in a scoreless tenth, Cole Sands gave up two runs in 1/3 of an inning and Steven Okert gave up three runs in 2/3 of an inning. Josh Staumont was charged with two runs on three hits in one inning of work. The Twins scattered seven hits tonight and went 2-for-14 with runners in scoring position. They left eleven men on base. Tomorrow, Aaron Civale faces Joe Ryan in the series finale on Joe Mauer's Hall of Fame induction day.
