In other words, I had a really cool idea for a character in Overwatch and I just wanna ramble about it (I might also be encouraged to record some of the voicelines I want to give her but be warned, am not and never claimed to be a voice actor of any kind)
Prophet
An Omnic that had been created to be an extension of a god AI program for practical uses (like Anubis or Chernobog). This one was used in the medical industry, so she would have been in the labs of hospitals: used to predict causes of diseases/cancers and create cures/treatments. Basically knows every way a person can die. Seized by Talon some years ago but was hidden away. When the Awakening happened, the actual Omnic woke but combined with the intellect of the god AI program integrated into her, she becomes a mystic. Has visions of the future, tortured by what she sees. When Vendetta reclaims Talon and begins her new war, she uncovers Prophet and decides to use her as a weapon.
Doesn't have eyes; face plate is devoid of any features, but has cloth wrapped around where eyes would be. Long "cloak" which is actually just an old hospital sheet tied around her neck. Very square build for an Omnic, sharp features, blocky, leans heavily into her being more of a robot than anything human. Has less fluid movements than some of her other Omnic counterparts (namely thinking of Ramattra lol). Color scheme is the typical Omnic silver but with navy blue detailing. Cloth around her eyes is red though, and the hospital sheet is white (for her canon/base skin).
Role: Tank (not sure what her sub-role would be)
Weapon: Broken crystal ball; she "shoots" out each shard, reload animation is her basically summoning them back and forcing them back into ball shape, the fracture lines are still noticeable. It kind of just floats in front of her, idk man.
Ultimate ability: named Apocalypse: She gains a "vision" and becomes invulnerable for like 2 seconds before exploding out an electrical wave that hinders enemies. All enemies hit are marked for 10 seconds, taking increased damage during the duration. Can be seen through walls by her allies, she gains a movement speed for five seconds. Allies within the radius gain 5% ult charge. Basically just initiates pure chaos (or at least that's its purpose) Actual animation is her lifting her crystal ball in the air as it glows, coursing electricity through her hands and body (the invulnerable state) before she breaks it and sparks go everywhere, hitting both allies and enemies to inflict individual affects.
Voice lines for the ult: "Witness my vision!" "Doom is upon you!" "I see your death!" "Your end is at hand!" (I definitely see the first one being what allies hear so as to not get confused, especially in a mirror match)
Voice lines for when her ultimate is ready: "The Apocalypse is at hand/near" "My vision sees the Apocalypse" "Prepare for the Apocalypse" and then the classic "My ultimate is ready" type lines
All of her voicelines when ult is still charging are along the lines of "my vision is not yet here"
Abilities:
Mirage: Place destructible replicas of herself (up to 3 charges). Allies within a five meter range gain up to 150 shield.
Foresight: Prophet gains a high jump and speed boost for five seconds. Allows for quick repositioning.
Hindsight: A fast dash backwards that regenerates shield based on percentage of health.
Prediction: Front facing shield that can be projected on herself or an ally (so basically a Zarya bubble without all around protection, if a Cassidy wants to high noon, she can put it on him to prevent him from getting stunned from the front)
She is actually blind. Was used basically as a complex data base that would also analyze and predict/create treatments, etc. Her Omnic model was not given "eyes". Would be cool if this could be visualized in game somehow but that would be hard for Overwatch just in terms of what it's visual style is and sightlines, etc. Especially for a tank hero (I was thinking of like Daredevil in Marvel Rivals but it wouldn't work for Overwatch). But obviously her awakened state plus the god AI programming basically allows her to have full spacial awareness. Idk I think a blind character in Overwatch is such a fun concept and could be cool to see how they portray it in game
She could also have a really unique relationship with the "Iris" given her circumstances. Maybe she's like Zen and is a character of faith in a sense.
Common recolors would be the following because I said so:
Pink one: Imagination
Green one: Daydream
Dark Purple one: Prescience
Red one: Nightmare
An epic one would be like a cool, geometric Black and White one named Strict Vision (the world isn't black and white, ya know?)
A cool Legendary skin concept could be named after her Ultimate ability: make her a giant skeletal being, all decaying flesh and just downright creepy. Something like that
If she doesn't have Legendary skins based off Ultraviolet light and Infrared then what's the fucking point?
Random interaction with Sigma I thought of:
Sigma: Tell me, Prophet, what you see of my future, hmm?
Prophet: I see nothing. It is quiet.
Sigma: *hums* A good ending then, I suppose.
Prophet, quietly to herself: At a great cost, Doctor.
Lucio Interaction:
Lucio: So, I'm trying to ask everyone this; what is your favorite animal?
Prophet: Mantis shrimp. They see in such a complex manner, odd for such a small creature that lacks the intellect of humanity.
Lucio: Uh yeah, I can see it
The Lucio one I'm picturing him making a "wtf" face when he says "uh yeah, I can see it" And now I want her to have a skin that makes her look like a mantis shrimp, like all the colors and the exoskeleton
Ramattra Interaction:
Prophet: Ask me, I can feel you staring.
Ramattra: Sister, you seem so attached to humanity despite having seen everything they destroy. All the pain they cause. Why?
Prophet: Hmm, perhaps. But I also see them creating complex programs to predict disaster so as to better prepare themselves, to save others. I saw a desperation to heal even the most incurable diseases. To me, I see something worth protecting.
Ramattra: Then what do you see now?
Prophet: A desire for an end.
Torbjorn interaction if Ana is on the team as well
Torbjorn, to Ana: I worry about Reinhardt.
Ana: I do too. I fear he's always been stuck in a war, and a soldier's death will be all he gets.
Prophet: Do not worry for your friend. I see an honorable end to a glorious knight.
Torbjorn, sighing: That's exactly what I'm afraid of.
Silly Mauga interaction because I feel like she definitely can't stand him:
Mauga: What's my future like, huh Proph?
Prophet: Cardiac arrest.
Mauga: Nah, too ironic. I definitely go out in a blaze of glory.
Prophet: Certainly a blaze of some manner.
I feel like she should definitely have a soft interaction with Illari where she implies she's seen what happened, and says something that seems to stick with her: that not even they knew what would happen, it was random chance, a sign of your greatness, but yes, a burden all the same. Basically saying like yes they died, yes technically you were the reason, but also like you weren't, no one knew that would happen, and they would definitely celebrate the strongest Inti warrior ever known
An interaction where she tells Juno she sees "noble change" in her future, basically saying she will grow in confidence and find her place or something along those lines.
If Jetpack Cat is on her team, she will definitely remark of how she "never could have predicted humanity would give a cat a jetpack. Perhaps this means pigs will fly" or something like that
-on the same vein of that: if an enemy Roadhog being flown around by a Jetpack Cat eliminates her, when she respawns she'll say something like in reference to "when pigs fly"
it's a simple thing but i love ramattra's "for what it's worth, i am sorry," voice line. He sounds sooo genuine in it. It's very polite, but also sort of expects rebuff: for what it's worth (which may not be much). it captures a weird amount of character depth for literally just a "sorry" voice line!!!! like ramattra does not burn his bridges verbally -- he does that literally, thank you -- but he also expects rejection. you see this in a lot of his interactions with others, where he responds very negatively when others start the conversation and he expects it to be veiled or outright ridicule, but when he begins the interaction it is generally pretty polite. idk idk!!!!! i love him.
🪻 pristine, porcelain and ceramic mercy skin concepts !! ✨
omg guess whos been forgetting to post concepts 🥹 meeeeee ahahsiajha anyways heres a mercy concept!!!! the whole idea for this one was to make a fancy skin for her with a colour palette that she has very few skins of (the og concept is the green one - ceramic!!) i was super inspired by porcelain corsets so i wanted that to be the main pieces of the outfit :3 i also made a small matching moira one :0 lmk if you wanna see it !!!!
