Finally, after so long, I can show to you my Dispatch OC, Hootress! I'm sooo excited!!
Hootress (whose real name is Alba Tyto) was considered a villain due to the legends and rumors surrounding her existence. People who spoke of her referred to her as "La Chorca" or "Mujer Lechuza", depending on the country.
Her origins trace back to South America, though it's only known that she came from somewhere in the Andes Mountains. She spent years wandering from country to country, hiding from people and cryptozoologists searching for her trail, until, by chance, she ended up in a warehouse in Los Angeles, California.
And that's where her story with the Z-Team begins!
[HOW TO RECRUIT HER]
As the dispatch section nears its end, a final call will appear on the screen: Upon entering, you will receive information from a man who appears to be a cryptozoologist who has spent years investigating the existence of a "barn owl woman" of which only one photograph in good quality is available (See first image).
Blonde Blazer will confirm that it's indeed someone called "La Chorca" and that she's been tracking her for some time, having heard rumors and being interested in bringing her into the program. She'll then ask you to send someone to rescue her.
The mission is located in a warehouse that appears to be private.
Blazer will then tell you that, because it's a large, dark, enclosed space, you'll need someone who can move easily in the dark undetected and knows their way around, while also keeping a low profile. She'll also recommend someone who can avoid direct conflict and is capable of engaging in conversation, as she believes it's possible to reason with the woman.
However, there is the possibility of a confrontation at first sight, so sending someone with knowledge and experience in combat, especially stealth combat due to possible ambushes, and with a cool head would also be a good option.
You can only send one hero, and your options will depend on who you cut from the team in the first season:
[Sonar]-> If you cut Coupé.
[Coupé]-> If you cut Sonar.
If you forgave Sonar or Coupé at the end of the first season, you can choose between the two.
Choosing which of the two (if available) is important because it will define not only Hootress skill set, but also her development as a character and what path she will take in the future.
