Character Info
⬢ Name:
⬢ Canon: If your canon has multiple names (ex.: MDZS/The Untamed), please take a moment to check and see if your canon is on the taken list already, and use the name there.
⬢ Canon Point:

⬢ History: We would prefer this to come in the form of a link or a series of links, but will accept written histories if there is nothing available.

For series with multiple routes and/or choices that can be made that effect the outcome of the game, please outline what choices were made as well.

⬢ Personality: Describe your character as best as you can. If we feel there is anything pivotal to the character that was left out, we will ask for revisions, so please try and be as thorough as possible. Be sure that the personality described is adequately reflected in your samples!

⬢ Powers: Because there is no power nerfing in the library itself by default, please list all canon powers, and outline what forms those powers take/what they can do. Feel free to link to a wiki section here as well, if that would be easier. Please note that any powers not on the application will not be accessible without a canon update, so we have something to refer to.

We do reserve the right to limit game-breaking powers, but will also work with you to give your character a reduced form of these powers, should they come up, so they won't be lost entirely.

⬢ Inventory: Please outline everything that was on your character's person at the moment they were pulled into the game. This includes weapons, armor, and anything in their pockets and/or any bags they might have been carrying. Please also describe (or link an image of) their second outfit from home, and choose two of the following three library shirts that they will find in their complimentary duffel. [1 2 3]

⬢ Sample 1: [Link] - An AC-length or longer non-network thread that showcases your character's personality. Samples may be from memes, psls, the TDM, or other games, so long as they are both accessible to the mods to read, and from within the past year.
⬢ Sample 2: [Link] - An AC-length or longer thread that showcases your character's personality. Samples may be from memes, psls, the TDM, or other games, so long as they are both accessible to the mods to read, and from within the past year. The second sample may be a network-style thread.


To apply for your character, copy the text below and paste it into a comment, filling out all necessary information. Do not link your application. You may link your application from here or from an entry on your journal on the taken list.

Character Info
⬢ Name: Angela "Mercy" Ziegler
⬢ Canon: Overwatch
⬢ Canon Point: the end of the animated short Zero Hour

⬢ History: here

⬢ Personality: "We are compassion." In Overwatch's first trailer, titled We Are Overwatch, each character has a "We are..." statement that sums them up, and Mercy's is compassion. She abhors violence, war, and conflict and instead embodies the typical caring, kind healer. She gives of herself and expects nothing in return, because a doctor's job is to help people; not to be thanked. Her feelings on helping those affected by conflict is so strong that she's shown to have a tense relationship with soldiers or those who believe that fighting is the only way to bring peace. While she'll heal their wounds, she stays stubbornly opposed to their point of view and will lecture, scold, or take a sharp tone with them. Because she lost her parents to war, she's a strict pacifist who has a hard time tolerating anyone who carries weapons. She thinks of a security force as little more than hired thugs who only fight for money, not because it's the right thing to do. Despite this, and despite her protests against war, Angela finds herself gravitating back to Overwatch. She has her own battle to face, and it's the battle to pick up the pieces after the soldiers are done fighting the war. She feels it's up to her and others like her to change the world for the better.

Beyond this facet of her personality, Angela is a thinker who wants answers to everything. She questions everything and admits that this is what gives people a prickly view of her. But she doesn't try to change to please people; instead she's glad she's this way because it "helps me do the science." Her dedication and perseverance is what pushed her through medical school and into a high ranking position at a university hospital, which in turn gained her the notice of Overwatch's leader. And when handed its medical research department on a silver platter, she still didn't rush to accept. Angela had her reservations about working for an organization that had been so closely tied with war. She wanted none of her research to be used for weapons. This conviction runs deep within her and whether seen as stubbornness or a steadfastness to stick to her morals, it's a defining part of who she is.

Of course, Angela's compassion for other leads her to call out bad behavior quite often. She admonishes those who don't take good care of themselves, disapproves openly of behavior she sees as destructive, and will heavily question others' lack of ethics. This causes her to come off as a bit of a nag, or a mother hen. She sees no problem interfering, because she feels she has a person's best interests at heart, but this is another thing that factors into that "prickly opinion" others can have of her. Angela has a scientific mind and to her it's completely logical to point out problems as she sees them, regardless of whether or not the person's requested her help or asked for an opinion. Arguing her point comes naturally to her, but when faced with similarly stubborn people, she tends to fall silent and let it go.

Angela is very much a workaholic, admitting to drinking a ton of coffee to stave off her exhaustion. But being in the business of saving lives and healing hurts means putting her own needs on the backburner. Despite not being wanted at an aid camp in Cairo, she stayed on and put up with the dirty looks. Despite living in an apartment there for two years, she hadn't decorated at all, only having boxes of medical supplies stacked up inside. What she values is people, not making her existence more comfortable. After Overwatch's downfall, Angela felt a great deal of guilt at how the organization had made the world worse, not better. Instead of moving back to working in a nice, clean hospital, she chose to go where she was needed, which was anywhere that people were suffering. She moved from aid camp to aid camp, helping not only those affected by war, but by natural disasters too. Having felt she'd failed with Overwatch's downfall, she did everything in her power to make up for it. She wanted to be Dr. Ziegler to her patients, not Mercy. She was ashamed of that persona and didn't want to be recognized. It was never about the fame for her, but about doing research that could in turn save lives. This attitude changes after meeting her former coworkers in Cairo as they chase Gabriel down and he launches an attack. After talking to Ana and checking on the children she's rescued, Angela realizes that she doesn't have to run from her past. She can pick up where she left off and try to make the world a better place alongside Overwatch again.

⬢ Powers: Angela is baseline human, but her Valkyrie suit and caduceus staff has tech that does go beyond that. Her suit is designed to take a beating, and on one occasion a mortar shell ripped through a building, covering her in debris, but she came out of it unharmed. It also gives her greater strength, allowing her to fly while holding a grown man with one hand or lifting heavy stone to toss aside. It appears both her staff and her suit itself contains nanobiotic technology to heal, while her halo visor can do scans for signs of life as well as injuries. And of course the wings of her suit allow her to fly. (I'm not including the RP game breaking ability that she has in the video game, which is literally bringing people back from the dead; that feature hasn't been shown to exist in the non-video game portion of Overwatch canon.)
