Our favourite gang leader

It’s self interest, Sombra knows.

Sombra’s read every headline, seen every article - has made a mockery of the omnics and the men who want to move the omnics.

Everyone is guilty; no one is innocent. There’s an underlining current of classism and suppression; Sombra, who has grown up as the hidden entity behind computers - a simple girl from Mexico - knows as no one else can possibly know, this is a revolution, a testament, a chess game.

Sombra is both the queen and the king; the piece that needs no guidance, the vulnerable shadow, bathed in effervescent genius, tactician.

And the figure of action, bathed in glorious blood, spotlight, every media outlet finds a star and shines brighter than the sun.

Sombra is a persons but also a person. Sombra is an idea, but also an outlet. Sombra is the thought, sitting up at night - now’s the time to shape the world, to end a war, to be the catalyst rather than the cattle.

Now’ the perfect time to start a revolution.

Start with Volskaya, make a statement, she thinks. Put everyone on even ground, she thinks. Talon, Overwatch … structure is the fatal flaw.

There’s a girl with a name, she lives in Dorado, she watches the news and her mother and hears the gun pop, violent, violent, rain down, ammunition. Crime town.

Thinks to herself, I can stop this - stop it all - gives up the name, the origin, the town. If this is what it takes, keep the city safe, now. This is what it takes.

The girl is gone, but Sombra never will be.

Let me just talk about Pyro's suit for a moment because people seem to be thinking it's made of rubber of some sort. What they wear, by observation, seems to be similar to that of a Asbestos fire suit of WWII. These suits were made of Asbestos fibers and cement due to asbestos high resistance to heat, radiation and chemical reaction. As shown above these are proximity suits used by pilots of the Second World War so that if their plane catches on fire they would not be injured by the flames that were as high as 2,000 degrees. They were used also as suits that could withstand direct open flames temporarily without burning as well as not causing a chem reaction. It wasn't until the late 1970's that they started using aluminium aloids instead of asbestos, because of abestos high toxicity level and very high chance of lung damage for prolong usage. So the chances that the pyro may have some serious lung issues, not because of smoke inhalation but because of the toxic suit they wears is very high. Another thing is that these suits were very large, they had a circular arch around the hip that had straps attached that were slung over the shoulders to keep the skin to suit contact to a minimal also decreasing the chances of injury to the wearer, this does not mean pyro is fat, it evades no clue to their body type at all. So just for reference, you know.
