What did/do you like about Pharah?

Uh, gameplay-wise, I really love characters in shooters who rely on three-dimensional movement techs. Chaining together hover and jump to stay in the air for as long as possible and keep momentum is so satisfying, and picking enemies off from the sky made me feel like a bird of prey. I was a good Pharah main.

Story-wise, there unfortunately isn't much to canonically go off because Pharah is so underutilized and neglected. Her personality's pretty boilerplate "heroic hero" (she's literally inspired by Captain America).

But it's the crumbs/bits and pieces that I really latched onto. Pharah's a confirmed lesbian; her short story with Baptiste implies she harbors a crush on Mercy (fucking thank you.). She's biracial Egyptian/First Nations. She has major mommy issues, having grown up both admiring and resenting Ana. She's the bridge between Old Overwatch, inspired by the idealized heroes who surrounded her childhood, and New Overwatch. She's one of the only inter-generational characters in the cast; someone whose experiences span the gap, which is why I seriously believe Pharah would make a great main character.

There isn't much to go off of, though; she's a very uncomplicated character (she's a soldier for a private military corporation, lol.). But that just means she's a blank slate character, so I've seen fanfic writers run wild and create some really interesting takes on her. My favorite interpretation of her's a dense, herbo gym-bro type (a lot of her liens are about work outs, exercising, and playing sports) who's easily excitable under her seemingly self-serious, armored visage. We see how she tends to gloat and hype herself up when she's on a streak too, so Pharah definitely has a competitive and boastful side under her more professional and militant performance.

Now Mercy? Mercy is a real complex character.

Can we get some OW New Blood headcanons? Whether it be some type of angst, heartfelt, or lighthearted interactions between the group.

Ask and you shall receive!! It's been awhile since I've done some New Blood stuff so let's see what I can do. Let's start off with some head canons first.

The New Bloods are the biggest human help in getting Zarya to unlearn her prejudices against omnics, it's mostly by telling her their own experiences with the Crisis (and with Hana it's her experiences with the Gwishi). They also call her out if she does or says something in line with her prejudice.

Cassidy is giving them all stealth training cause holy shit he cannot be the only person on that team who knows how to stealth, Baptiste is close but Cassidy knows that Talon stealth training is not going to cut it.

On top of that Cassidy is also giving specific training to D.Va so if she has to fight outside of her Mech he knows he can handle herself.

All of them know about Pharah's crush on Angela, either being told by Pharah herself or from Cassidy complaining that Genji and Pharah are hopeless at romance (he's been dealing with this for a max of 14 years at this point, he's allowed to complain)

They are all in agreement that if they are on a mission in a Talon base, they need to steal as much equipment as possible, mainly focusing on medical supplies.

They all make strategies on how to best use their skills together. They also sometimes include other agents abilities as well.

Pharah is the least foul mouthed of the group, only really swearing outside of missions, the rest? Not so much. By far the people who swear most often are Cassidy and D.Va.

----------------------- Cassidy: So I hear you you and Angie where around each other a lot while she was in Cairo, anything happened? Pharah: We just... hang out, spent time together, nothing other then what we would usually do before. Cassidy: ....Fareeha it's been fourteen years, for the love of god please make a move that isn't just flirty banter. ----------------------- Zarya: I don't understand how you have so many fans. Why do people like to watch you play games that they can play themselves? D.Va: The same reason why people play the Olympics and other sports, cause they like to see other doing something they love! ----------------------- D.Va: Ok so what if I initiate Self Destruct and you shoot them when they get behind cover! That way no matter what we're still hitting them. Cassidy: I don't know, might be able to hit some of them but I doubt it would be worth riskin' the Mech. D.Va: Oh, OH! What about if Niran launches you into the air and you shoot them from above! Cassidy: Hey...That ain't half bad! ----------------------- Baptiste: You know, you should really get some rest, it's not good to overwork yourself. Pharah: Have you been talking with my mum? Cause if she did you should tell her to take her own advise. Baptiste: No, no, I noticed it myself. Though I do think it's funny that both Ana and Cole seem to have the same issue as you. Pharah: Well, it kinda runs if the family. ----------------------- Pharah: Hey Cole, did I tell you that Jean thought we were dating? Cassidy: Ew, what?! What made you think that?! Baptiste: You two just seemed to have a lot of history! I was curious! Pharah: Yeah, it was our history that made you curious, nothing else more personal. Baptiste: Fareeha, I swear to god- ----------------------- Pharah: You know, you and Brigitte remind me of Cole and Angela when they were younger. D.Va: Ugh, Cass said the same thing, but I know I'm way cooler then he is! Pharah: HA! He would have said the same but trust me, it's a compliment.

unexpectedly had a series of wholesome ovw comp matches where i gained four random friends on my list and the entire time on a 4-3 payload win we both kept complimenting each other on either side. had someone literally say ‘wow don’t usually get along this well’. it was genuinely adorable. awful experience somehow mitigated by the power of friendship.

Witch of the Woods - Pharah/Mercy

It took strength to suppress the curse of her bloodline. It took courage to deny the raw power of the wolf. It took will to defend the very village which would turn on her - had turned on her mother - for what she might become. It took every breath Fareeha Amari had to keep herself sharp and sane in a world which seemed to have gone mad beneath the moon.

It took far more to deny that what she felt to look at the witch she harboured was love.

What was Sumo Pharah's win rate when she competed in the sport?~

"I was one of the biggest in the sport during my time. I won many tournaments, even a world championship as well. I went out on a high note with that one, it was my final match before I retired. It was a struggle, I was at my heaviest weight then, before I became this big anyway. But I managed to beat Zarya in that final." Sumo Pharah explained, showing a few pictures and her trophies.

no judgment really but it’s soo so weird to see kids getting into Overt Watch now and making TikToks about the characters and drawing them in South Park style and getting into life or death arguments about ships

[polychocobros]

Currently think about how the New Blood group parallels the Old Strike Team-

Like-

Both groups founded during a global Crisis, all of them being heavily experienced fighters.

A fiercely loyal tank who has some survivors guilt along with some self sacrificial tendencies (Zarya and Reinhardt)

A character associated with the organisation that is causing the crisis and has a lot of guilt in helping said organisation (Baptiste and Torbjörn)

The youngest person on the team being a leader type, one of the best soldiers in they're previous team and taking too much responsibility (D.VA and Solider 76)

A character with history in law enforcement who is trying to change systems they know aren't helping and are also incredibly loyal to the people they care about, stubborn in they're beliefs and are often a bit hostile when those morals are challenged (Pharah and Reaper)

The eldest character who has a shit tone of both field and life experience, often being considered the best in they're area of expertise while also being very non-serious about cirtain situations. Who also hold a lot of guilt about they're impact on the world (Cassidy and Ana)

Now that is to say I only see this as them paralleling the characters themselves, not the characters relationships. Idk why I felt the need to specify that.

But anyway I found it interesting.
