“if anyone hurts you, it will be the last thing they’ll do.” -> for max :-)

Max had invited the other over for simple company, a like minded individual that understood their plight. Even for someone as successful as himself Maximilien was often met with scrutiny if only because he was an omnic. Human people could have a gambling addiction (and one he fed willingly) but the world seemed to forbade that he made any sort of name for himself because of it.

He had been lamenting over the various attempts on his empire, both between his competition and police forces, when mentioning that harm was more often than not included in these little games of charades. Nothing permanent, for certain, but harmful all the same.

Ramattra's response seems to floor him.

Max cannot help himself but to stare at the other, looking away again just a moment later.

"I appreciate your.. ah.." For an omnic that often had a response for everything, he was, for once, quite speechless. It doesn't last long as he recovers to try and save face.

"I appreciate your protectiveness, even if all I can offer to you in return is funding for your own purposes."

reader x ram, overwatch sort of university, post-war, peace is somewhat achieved, overwatch and null sector have a peace treaty, not much detail will go into this though. ramattra is offered a job in a higher up role teaching at a "hero university" (no this isn't gen v don't worry) where reader attends/other heroes may be teachers too. class could be like omnic education/history etc

It had been quite some time since the end of Null Sector's invasion of Earth. While the world was not entirely in agreement, but then, would it ever be?, humans had accepted Omnics as equals to them, and provided equitable changes to their lives via parliament. Hate crimes occurred less, it was safer at night, and omnics were treated with more respect as a whole. Human and omnic friendships were more common, etc... (I'm terrible at writing this part).

Ramattra had been promised many things from both Overwatch and political leaders as a result of his efforts. Rewarded would not be the correct word, however he had certainly been mostly satisfied with the outcome for his people. Of course, he still had goals, he still had problems, and fury - but life was just a little bit more tolerable. Each day he saw something that would make him smile inside, and it wasn't of a violent nature. Infact, he had found more wholesome discoveries quite enchanting; simple things like people holding hands walking by, omnics and humans getting along, etc.

He was well looked after, living in a penthouse apartment (with what furniture who knows honestly), and regular income and access to technology/upgrades at no cost. He had many teams available to him, need he only ask. His status was that of a highly respected omnic, however unlike before he was not invoking terror on anyone he saw. Omnics and humans around the world eventually felt empathy for the Null sector leader, understanding where he came from, and even more so, expressing appreciation for the outcome.

About a year or so after peace had been achieved, a university had been started up in (fuck knows where? England? near Overwatch etc) London, with intent to educate more people in the defenses, in the areas of tech and fighting, omnics and humans, and hero abilities. Of course, any university starting up would need well established teachers - mentors, leaders - to get people to actually sign up. Ramattra had been surprised to receive a letter offering him a job as head of History at the university. He would be in the position of lecturing students - humans?! How fun, he thought - as well as omnics, should the university attract them.

Of course, this would mean he would no longer be as secluded in his daily life; the most of his socialisation was with his cats, Meowttra and Catnyatta, and an occasional caffeine run down the road. He had grown very comfortable to a lifestyle such as this. And now, if he were to accept... this very generous offer, he would be forced to speak with the likes of Overwatch agents, past present and future; regular humans; and scientists. Part of him felt genuine excitement, as his research and ideas could potentially be broadened; however, he felt an immense sensation of fear - him, fear? - of teaching others. His method was simple: order, discipline, or congratulate; the latter rarely occuring. But if his job was mostly lecturing and organising class topics, he couldn't see too much of a problem.

The thought of creating strong values, not hateful ones, but fair ones - in a whole fresh generation post-war, also made him feel a spark of hope. Perhaps this war could've been avoided, had there been more resources for the public before - but there was no use thinking like this now - he had a chance, a real chance, to embody himself as a leader and role model to others. To start them off right, and possibly prevent the reoccurence of discrimination; or at least, more realistically, educate enough people to take a stand, omnic or human.

You were never one to be naive, so you thought - you believed you had all the wisdom one could have at your age, all the awareness it could take to *have* what it takes, to be that one percent to rise above the rest. Even though you had your moments of doubt, you would often reassure yourself that, if you tried your best and stayed as consistent as possible, you could truly do anything you set your mind to.

And the day you saw an advertisement for (UnNamed) University, your determination that had been long gone for some time now since finishing High school had returned. You'd always looked up to Overwatch, always aspired to be a great leader, or be lead by one - always wanted to do more, see more, help more. You received above average grades in school, topped one class even - but once the stress of it all ended, you struggled to hit that motivation kickstart that each day brought when forced a certain schedule.

Sitting up from your slouch in your tiny apartment couch, you found your laptop and started searching the university.

UNIVERSITY OF OVERWATCH

ENROLMENTS OPEN NOW

SCHOLARSHIPS AVAILABLE

ACCOMMODATION INFO COMING SOON

After clicking around for what felt like forever, you finally find the apply button. Like navigating a digital maze you sat, trying not to be flustered at the complexity of this damned thing, a headache starting to form from stress - you could do this, this was only the beginning, and if you couldn't make it through this beginning step, you wouldn't make it through the first DAY - and soon enough, you had finalised your application.

YN

Interested in:

x Nanotechnology and Science

x Medicine and Healing

x History and Strategy

x Engineering and Machinery

Sitting down more comfortably with the stress off your shoulders, you look back to the tv and snack on some cheap popcorn, knowing that this boring life may change soon, and that you may finally achieve what you always wanted.

Look I'm just going to skip some fucking time here because I Don't want to ruin my creativity, here's a gap jump.

Day 0one of university, reader has received a JUST enough scholarship to study and live near the university (accommodation still being built but reader has been offered a suite as they are very valuable). Reader, and no students, are aware of who the teachers are, this is the first day...

Sitting in an assembly hall, Tracer etc announcement welcomes everyone...

Lots of people humans AND omnics fill the room...

Introduces the teachers...

Some familiar names...

"And, our head of history, lecturing all history classes offered and occasional electives, Ramattra," Tracer says into the microphone, and Ramattra, standing at the back of the stage near his other coworkers, gives a small wave to the audience. (*Tries not to imagine using the annihilation ultimate in the assembly hall*)

You sit in your seat, and freeze. You hadn't even noticed him there, in the shadows of others, even though he is so *damn tall*. His posture was surprisingly relaxed, considering his original "purpose" in life; you guess that the war outcome had truly changed things, for him and the world he wanted to create. A feeling of joy and warmth swims around in your chest, reaching its way up to your throat and you quietly clear your throat. You try not to beam - even though you've obviously never met Ramattra, or anyone here, only some local omnics and friends who were passionate about the cause, you just can't help but feel pure joy, empathy and pride for the positive outcome achieved. You simply couldn't wait to experience this university, and learn from a variety of people. Learning was always your favourite part of life, and making change within yourself and watching others change and flourish always gave you a feeling inside, like a beautiful spring garden blooming, filling your chest with a fresh perspective of life.

Inspirational people always made you feel great faith.

You snap out of your daze and realise you have been staring in Ramattra's direction for an *awfully* long time, and you pray he has not noticed, but then you wouldn't know, would you? You weren't even thinking of HIM - just life itself, the future... You hope that if you have him as a teacher, he will not remember you for staring at him for a solid 3 minutes. That would not be a great start...

The assembly concludes, and people start to shuffle out, some looking at their timetables, others checking their phones. On the stage, you notice some staff talking amongst themselves, walking around a little and introducing eachother; you smile. and while you cannot see Ramattra anywhere, you hope that he's there too, getting along with humans...

"I cannot *imagine* Ramattra as a teacher," a voice says as you walk out of the auditorium door. It wasn't staff, just a random student - and as you look at them closer, you are surprised to see its an omnic?! "Just... don't you think he's a bit too abrasive?"

"You talk as if you've met him," another student said in response.

"Well, I know enough about him to take a decent guess. I mean he despises humans -"

"He did," you interrupt quietly, but much to your surprise, you were actually heard - "erm... I mean, he did hate humans. He hated their actions. And now that's changed, right? So I don't see any reason for him to be... aggressive... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything."

"You're fine," The omnic smiled and held out their hand. "And you're right. I still don't see him as being very warm. I mean, he is male after all, I don't think I've ever had a *warm* male teacher..."

The door shuts behind you giving you a startle.

"Alright ladies," a bright british voice says, belonging to none other than Tracer; "And gents, and whomever - how about we make a move, yeah? I'm sure you all have classes to get to."

You wonder if she heard what you had been talking about, but you say nothing and smile at everyone there. "Catch you later everyone, nice to meet you all."

You swear as you walk away you see something move in the curtains of the corner window, and it reminds you of how Ramattra had been on the stage, hidden but visible; a shiver runs down your body and a slight cooling of the temperature affects you. You shrug it off, and walk to the nearest cafe (luckily, there were many), assessing your map at the same time.

(Maybe end of chapter? Coffee make brain go fast, coffee make brain go nervous if too much. Nomnom coffee tasty.)

[genji-centric]

Hi I saw your request were open and I was wondering if you can do headcanons of hanzo,genji,cass,d.va and tracer meeting a nullsector trooper robot thinking it was evil but the twist it that the nullsector trooper somehow became sentient like normal omnics and is rebelling against nullsector themselves

Ofc!! This is such a cool idea. I'm excited to write it. The sull sector, in general is cool, and I'm looking forward to the direction Overwatch takes with it. Hope you enjoy!! ^^

Hanzo:

Hanzo has travled around, his road to redemption long and tiring. Having a past such as his, he grew to expect threats at every corner, assassin's of the former Shimada empire after him was no small feat. Yet he carried on, accepting it as punishment for his actions. But he learned more about the world, omnics, the awakening. All historic facts he didn't learn much, instead training to be the next Shimada leader.

It's ironic how fate comes out. When he went under the radar away from the prying eyes of the assassin's nowhere near his skill, he stepped foot onto Null Sector land. Enemies from the Null Sector were no threat to him. His bow and arrow could pierce through the metal platings with enough accuracy.

This is why he wasn't afraid to see another null sector robot, more specifically a Nulltrooper. He had acquainted himself with the different models during each run-in with a troop. This is why he was intrigued to see one alone, and it didn't seem to be of any threat to him. But still, Hanzo held his bow firm and his body ready if a fight were to break out.

Once he ensured the being was of no threat, he asked it yes or no questions. Figuring out its true motives, it was aware and wanting to be free of the jobs it was forced to do. Hanzo, out if all people understood the feeling. Either out of pity or just simple respect for the Nulltrooper, he would offer it the chance to travel alongside him for a bit.

It was up to the Nulltrooper what it wanted, but he was respectful and surprisingly understanding. Perhaps he was a good ally to have, especially when going against something like the null sector.

Genji:

He was one of Overwatch's fighters. He knew firsthand the null sector and its uprising. He took down countless drones, troopers, and slicers, you name it. Genji was well aware of how they operated, at least how attacks did.

Which is why he was shocked to see a Nulltrooper, alone and.. aware. It acted similar to the omnic Bastion did, and Genji could see intelligence behind its actions. This is why he only held onto his blade, not fully drawing it.

He knew the Nulltrooper before him was more than it seemed. Genji, in fact, prided himself on his understanding of omnics having Zenyattta as a teacher and his body being mostly machine. This is why he started talking, learning its awareness and need to uprise. A goal he could agree with, sure getting the information was a lot of yes and no questions. Some charades and whatnot, but he saw the value in a robot like this before him.

Genji offers the Nulltrooper the opportunity to join Overwatch, both sharing the goal of shutting down Ramattra and his revolution against humanity. But it relies on them to work together.

Cole:

Now, Cole Cassidy often seemed to not particularly care about the major fights. He was more of a solo man who just so happened to be associated with Overwatch. At least, that's what he thought. Cassidy, under the guide of Overwatch he has seen the Null Sector, the threat it caused, and what they are. He knew what robots did what, how to counter them, and so on.

As he walked down the alleyway behind old buildings, humming some country song and smoking his cigar, he was taken off guard by the sight of a Nulltrooper. It was alone, but that didn't make him any less on edge.

He gripped his hand around the big iron on his hip, ready for a fight. But was shocked to see the robot lift its hands, as if it didn't want to fight. Odd, Cole decided to hear it out. He was surprised to learn it was aware, like the other Omnics he interacted with on occasion. Cassidy knew this was a sight to behold, especially from a trooper he just accepted as being one of the least intelligent robots.

Now Cole knew he wasn't the one to make any major decisions. But he did know people who could. He had his connections. Having a Nulltrooper on Overwatch's side certainly didn't sound bad, and if it was up to him to get this trooper to the place it needed to be, that's something he was willing to do.

D.V.A:

Hana Song was intelligent. She fought for the safety of Korea and the world. Her mech was a piece of powerful art that made fighting possible. It gave her the ability to do something, to make a change, and to fight for what she believed in. Her and the other mech drivers shared this belief.

She took down her fair share of null sector robots when harm was a possibility. She had gotten a good look at their machinery, and she had a good idea of their coding. Alarm bells struck her when seeing the lone Nulltrooper. It was different.. too different from any robot from the null sector she'd seen.

Readying her bot for a fight D.V.A. was amazed to see it beg for mercy. Through a jarble of frantic beeps, she took pity on it, wanting to know the reason for its distress.

After a while of figuring it out, she learned of its wishes to rise against the null sector itself. Hana saw herself somehow, fighting for what was right even in the eyes of danger. D.V.A. wanted to help, shoe she would offer to get the robot some connections to people who were fighting the same war.

Who knows, maybe she might find it some upgrades for proper speak if she liked the trooper enough.

Tracer:

Along with Genji, Tracer was more invested with all the happenings with the null sector. But Tracer had a different approach. She grew to deeply care about the omnics under King's Row and having one of her close friends being an omnic. Lena knew the different perspectives, and she truly wanted the best for all those involved.

Which is why she didn't immediately reach for her duel guns. The robot in front of her seemed to be.. alone. And she couldn't help but feel sorry for it. Perhaps a soft approach would be best. And besides, if something were to happen, she could rewind time and make use of her machinery.

But Tracer was right on that hunch. The Nulltrooper was, in fact, passive. Lena knew the ways of understanding Bastion, well at least kind of. So after some yes no questions, some charades and maybe a drawing or two she figured it out.

The Nulltrooper was in the same fight she was. It was aware and wanted change. And Lena couldn't help but admire that. In fact, it reminded her of King's Row and her role in that. And Tracer just loves to tell stories, so of course she just had to ramble on about the uprising and what Overwatch's plan was.

Regardless of what the Nulltrooper wanted, all it could do is beep and boop as a response. After a while, she pauses. Thinking over her words.

"Sorry bout that love, I get carried away. Say, how would you want to join me? Overwatch is full of great people, and I just know Winston would be happy having a new addition to Overwatch?"

She's so sincere, and after all the ramblings about Overwatch, the offer seems tempting to the Nulltrooper. But it's up to the robot to decide if it joins Overwatch, regardless of what it decides. Lena will always be a friend.

[ovwechoes]

hewwo!!! do you take requests for ramattra 😳 i would like to ask for him with a soulmate au,, maybe he doesn’t think he has once since he’s an omnic - he is sentient so the universe gives him (reader)!!!

yes I do! I'm more than happy to write that AU for you (since I think it's the cutest idea tbh) c: if you have any suggestions, please let me know & thank you for the ask! Themes: slow burn, short but sweet, sfw.

Binary Hearts: Ramattra x Reader (Gender Neutral)

"How could someone like me?". That's what he truly believed. If anyone asked, though, he would always tell them that it was because he was an omnic; his body was metal, he possessed no heart, and he was freshly sentient. In his mind, his only soulmate would be one of his own kind, because how could a human learn to love someone that society viewed as a threat, and was created by humanity to be used? That was what ran through his mind whenever he let himself consider the idea of love, and what that might look like for him. That was, until he met you.

You were an activist for omnic rights, freshly apart of the organisation and ready to stand up for what you believed was right. You never understood the hatred towards omnics, and why they were treated they way they were when humans should be grateful. Grateful for their new perspectives, their beliefs, their hope and their work to improve society whilst not sentient. This was something you always fought for; you fought against your family, your ex partners, your friends, anyone who stood in the way of change. That's why you were so surprised when Ramattra, the leader of Nullsector was stood infront of you, watching you silently.

You were leaving a protest in your city centre; after the recent attacks from Nullsector, your representative thought it was best to show support for omnics during this time, to show that at least someone cares about them still and doesn't take to heart what other omnics have chosen to do to humans. It seemed like a good idea, and you had a lot of fun showing support, and seeing the looks on omnics' faces when they saw you all were in their corner, still fighting the good fight. It was approx. 9pm now, and you took the more quiet, scenic route home. You passed through alleys between houses, and walked along a road that had the most beautiful view of the ocean, especially at night. The sound of the waves crashing was comforting, it helped your feet keep moving despite the painful pounding pushing them with every step. But they had reached their limit, so you decided to keep walking until a community bench for sightseeing was found. When it was, you spent maximum 10 minutes watching, observing, enjoying yourself. As you stood up and decided to leave before it got any later, you turned around and found yourself under the gaze of Ramattra.

The news always portrayed him as evil, disturbing, as though he was the boogeyman lurking in the shadows, waiting for you to be vulnerable so that they could leach on your life and take it away in the same second. But you knew the second you looked into his eyes, that they were lying once again. Sure, you could see the anger inside him, boiling after simmering for too long, but beneath that, you could see someone lonely, someone desperate to be understood and to be accepted. That's something you always noticed with omnics, but with Ramattra, the feeling was amplified. And so, as you stood there, frozen, with him looking down on you as though you were a small fish against a shark, he didn't speak. It was though he was analysing you, watching your moves, predicting if you'd run or attack. That's what he was used to, so surely you'd react the same way, right?

When you finally got the courage to say something, Ramattra was taken aback. He would never have guessed a human would have the confidence to stare into his eyes and say something so... normal. "How are you?" you asked him. You didn't know what else to say, you didn't know if you should be polite, or friendly, or cordial, or run. Nothing trained you for this moment, where you'd be isolated and standing face to face with what society wanted you to see as the enemy. His face didn't change, but you could see something inside him did. You couldn't tell if this was good, or bad, or something you couldn't even fathom. But you were humbly surprised when he touched your shoulder, before thanking you for asking.

His hand was cold, you could feel that through your jumper. It was as though the wind was absorbed directly into his body, and pushed back through you. But you noticed something sweet and perhaps tender about the way he held your shoulder. You didn't feel scared, nor held in place, like a cat at the vet's office being held for it's vaccinations. You felt comfortable. Both of you knew what his strength was, and knew that if he wanted to, he could squeeze you and trap you under his grip, leaving you with no room to escape his stare. The fact that he didn't made you feel warmer than the cold that was pushed through your body from his hand, and through his blank stare. You both stood there, awkwardly, waiting for one of you to figure out what comes next. Neither of you had ever been in this position, and it was abundantly clear to anyone who might've seen you.

He decided to break the silence, and profusely apologised for scaring you. Ramattra's eyes looked away with his hand falling back to his side from your shoulder. You were already missing his touch, but you let him carry on apologising and explaining himself. "I sometimes come here... just to enjoy the view... I didn't want to scare you and I promise you that I was going to leave before you noticed me. I know what humans think of me, so I had no intention of bothering you any further..." he said, looking away at the ocean again, as though he could only be honest when he wasn't faced with your eyes looking back at him.

Something stirred in you; you didn't quite understand it, but the genuine thought behind his actions pulled at your heartstrings. How could someone who leads such a violent group be so considerate? That's what ran through your mind before you reminded yourself not to judge, just to listen. You replied in a sincere way back, as a way to buy yourself time to figure out how to invite him to join you. You were sure another 10 minutes wouldn't be so harmful. When you finally built up the courage to ask him, he was silent for some time. It seemed as though Ramattra was calculating his next move, considering the options, making sure this wasn't a scheme or a trap, but a genuine opportunity to spend time with someone. You could tell he desperately wanted to accept, and wanted to enjoy the ocean and it's melodic music with someone else, but you had no clue if he would let himself do so with a human.

But he did. Something about you felt different, refreshing. You weren't here to ridicule him, and you treated him the same as anyone else or anything else. He couldn't help himself, really. It was something he had only ever considered, only really thought was a possibility in his mind. And so he sat with you, listening to the waves dance along the shoreline. They sounded especially sweet and calming, as though the universe was singing a melody to celebrate what was to come, and the union of you both. You weren't bothered by the slight hum of his machinery working to keep him active, and he wasn't bothered by your breathing. The two of you were in harmony, as though this moment was destiny. There was no denying there was some chemistry, and so when you placed your hand on his knee, as a sign of interest, all he could do was let out a small chuckle and look at you from the corner of his eye.

Ramattra had no idea what to think of this, what was to come next, and whether this moment was fleeting or something specifically designed for them. He didn't care to know; all he concerned himself with was the warmth of your hands, and the warmth of the sun dancing on his skin as he finally understood what human's thought was a 'connection'. He was eternally grateful for you already for bringing him out of his comfort zone, and for allowing him to experience something he thought was impossible. All that was left was for him to keep the night going, and work with you to figure out if the universe, or some higher power, was gifting him with something he had never dreamed possible.

I have been going through Overwatch lore again, especially the video content, and I noticed that Overwatch is probably using 'sacred geometry' as a basis for it's scifi-magics?

(Please note I am not spiritual/religious and do not follow this belief. These are simply observations of what Overwatch has used.)

Shambali/Iris: uses chakra locations + 'sacred geometry' patterns in the Iris design. This part isn't that strong but it's notable. We do know Aurora's sentience is tied to quantum mechanics in lore, and we can make a guess omnic energy (only omnics can use omnic energy, not much is elaborated) is perhaps a 'scifi-magic' version of quantum mechanics (like how Tracer uses scifi magic time powers, etc). 'Sacred geometry' places a large importance on light as a form of conciousness, and Aurora's ascension involved her becoming light and becoming a geometric pattern. As seen with Sigma, Zenyatta floats with no explanation, but under 'sacred geometry' systems it makes perfect sense as Zenyatta tapped into his abilities through sacred geometry practices (meditation, etc).

Sigma: He is a direct reference to 'the song of the spheres' (hearing the melody of the universe by being able to sense 'sacred geometry') + his weapon's shapes represent 'aether' aka 'universe' according to sacred geometry/alchemy. Sigma has a singularity directly within his 'source' chakra location (explaining his mental state), and his gravity powers can be explained through sacred geometry spiritual practices (floating, etc). Sigma states 'the melody is a harness' backwards in his origin short, and sacred geometry seems to place importance on patterns, frequencies, and connecting with the 'vibrations' of the universe.

LifeWeaver: in his hero origin short, the 'flower of life' symbol is shown in his biolight tree. This is an undeniable explicit reference to sacred geometry, and it would make sense that his biolight tech works because hardlight tech can exactly trace (atomic level) the 'sacred geometry' of the universe to power healing.

Moira: Honestly it's pretty funny, but apparently 'sacred geometry' also deals with genetics. Moira's character makes COMPLETE sense if sacred geometry is the sci-fi-magics system in Overwatch. Moira is wanting to 'evolve' humanity (a conspiracy followed by sacred geometry believers that humans are on the cusp of a spiritual evolution through frequencies/patterns in dna), and if Moira's work taps into sacred geometries, it explains why others were unable to replicate her experiments (as confirmed in declassified). If one meddles where they shouldn't and disrupts cycles, according to sacred geometry beliefs, they can become ill. Moira has been meddling, explaining why her arm is deteriorating. Reaper's powers are also explained, as how can Reaper's conciousness remain if his body and brain becomes a mist? If it's through genetics solely, sacred geometry would allow that. (I personally prefer the idea Reaper's conciousness has been recorded digitally and he lives within nanobots, which explains how Ramattra could have created failed recreations of conciousness in Wargod Ana, etc. It is canon that nullsector has created botched recreations of certain heroes like Ana, etc. But sacred geometry explains reaper within genetics alone.)

Ngl I never was a fan of overwatch having true magic/spirits because it ruined many aspects of the story ('Do omnics have souls' was a huge rhetorical question in Overwatch, but if Kitsune spirits exist then yeah no duh omnics do have souls lol.) Also confirming Shinto beliefs as the 'correct' religion is pretty awful to do in Overwatch since it's so focused on a global, diverse cast. I would much prefer no true magic/spirits which legitimizes all faiths as personal beliefs OR have a universal scifi-magics source which legitimizes all faiths as real and drawing from the same source. And with sacred geometry, it's vague enough to apply to pretty much any culture, as 'the flower of life' patterns has showed up in various cultural arts (... because its a combination of circles.)

Anyways, I will look through more lore to see if I can find more instances of 'sacred geometry' being referenced in Overwatch, but Sigma and LifeWeaver are the main supporting evidence pillars of this hypothesis! Then the Shambali/Iris stuff can be inferred. And Moira is a fun guess lol.

ummmm

Ummmmm-

UMMMMMMM-

Heroes Ascendants mostly takes place right before Invasion....

We see Ana with a Null Sector bot behind her in the cover...

She appears to have her own short story separate from the Jack and Sombra one....

The A-700 Wargod appears in the Underworld Story Mission, which I assume is at least somewhat canon, and as far as I know it's the only skin to show up there. It's also the only nullsector skin in the battle pass to have that blurb.

Is-

Is Ana going to be taken by Null Sector? Is she going to be experimented on?

Cause if it was just a replication of Ana then they could have just watched her from afar but...

It says it has Ana's memories, that's what it's a failed attempt.

IS THE REASON JACK IS GOING TO JOIN OVERWATCH AGAIN TO BE BECAUSE ANA GETS KIDNAPPED BY NULL SECTOR-

Help wtf does this mean-

Ok, hear me out:

so I know im working on future overwatch au, but lately I been thinking of another au, but this au is something way before i thought of future overwatch au,

So future overwatch au is getting discontinued for now.

Let me explain what this "new"(this au is old for me) au story is about.

During the invasion. A beast was born and went on a rampage, killing anything that's alive from flesh to metal. the government, overwatch and even Nullsector tried to stop such a beast but sadly none won and only two survived the battle. Soon the beast grew older and stronger, leaving not a single of man and machine alive. But some lived either hiding or somewhere safe... if there's is one.

Will these become our new heroes, or will they become nothing more than another prey to this beast eyes.

---

This story is going to be like a horror story, like jurassic Park fused with the last of us. I hate these movie/game because of the trauma i got from them. Yes, you heard me im still traumatized over that damn things and that spinosorous

If you look at the tags I think yall know who our protagonist are...

[. I just need Cayde-7 to meet Ramattra and Zenyatta-

Like meeting Ramattra and being like "How do you got another pair of beefy arms on your back that you punch with?!"

But then he meets Zenyatta and he's like "YOU HAVE BALLS?!"

not gonna tag it but #Also a NullSector!Cayde

[sw4nfire]

a nullsector zenyatta skin would be very cool and hot
