Tales From Overwatch
Reinhardt
A mighty shatter on the ground
A muffled sound
of a giant hammer swinging through the air
A charge, a pin, a sturdy unwavering wall
A blue rectangular shield to protect his friends
Get behind! He yells triumphantly
You can run
But his honor will chase you down
And firestrike you into the ground
Pride can be a downfall, but sometimes it uplifts to victory
Zenyatta
The holy monk meditates
In the village high above
Discord trifles with your life
Harmony leads you to the light
A balance must be achieved, with both at peace
An orb through the air
punishes discord’s heir
A slothful life can lead to failure
but it can enlighten all
and save from the black hole
Genji
Murdered in cold blood by a man he called a brother
Rescued by a Swiss doctor
A zombie risen once again
Now half man and half machine
He stalks his targets through the night
Fan his shuriken
And send it through their head
Wrath and envy fuel his murder spree before
He makes his escape, climbing the wall
double jumping through the hail of bullets
A short sword deflects most back, before he dashes through
Trips a bit
“I need healing”
Before reaching his peak
The dragon envelops his sword
“Ryūjin no ken o kurae!”
Moira
A disgrace evicted
from her lab and her experiments
A lust and greed for knowledge lead to questions
On her brilliance? Never
Her ethics? Every time
A suppressed rage guides her towards Talon
She experiments and heals the wounded
but with some benefits
She has created the perfect form
to send havoc and healing afloat
If in danger she will phase
through thick and thin
One hand heals, the other sucks essence
They fuse
to form coalescence
Mei
Some call her happy and innocent
Some call her evil
Everyone is right
From a frozen base deep in Antarctica
Frozen for millenia
Abandoned by her allies
The Ice Witch doesn’t want you to enjoy the game
If you try to escape
through a dash or a boost
She’ll freeze you in your tracks
Literally
And as the ice covers over your eyes
She’ll give a little smile
And just before you die
An icicle into your face
You wear her down to her last dregs
Oh hah, it was just a trick
and now you wait for her to come out of her cocoon
And even when she does
She will block you off
The wall has many uses
Charge too early into the fight?
No more access to your team and a quick death ensues
Her ultimate
Cute on the outside, cold as ice on the inside
Snowball will ruin all your fun
Freeze everyone in a radius
And Mei laughs and giggles endlessly
As her gluttony absorbs all
“Sorry, sorry, sorry!”
