IN CHARACTER
Name: Lena Oxton (call sign: Tracer)
Canon: Overwatch.
Canon Point: After the cinematic trailer. She and Winston had left the museum and were in pursuit of Reaper and Widowmaker.
Age: 26. Somehow.
History:
wikia | official bio
Personality:
"cheers, love! the cavalry's here!"
Bright and optimistic, Lena is always ready to fight for good. Whether it's assassins or even the undead, she'll leap into the fray to protect the innocent. She'll lend a hand to those in need and join causes that she feels are just. Once Winston initiated the recall to all former Overwatch agents, she was the very first to reply. She believes wholeheartedly in the good Overwatch did and can still do. Lena is not the sort of person to stay with an organization or aid a cause that she considers unjust. She wants to use her unusual power and talents to make a positive impact on the lives of others, even if she has to go it alone.
Keeping up the image of heroism is important to her as well. When she's forced to take cover in a fight, she does her best to fake confidence for the two children that had been caught in the middle of their fight with Widowmaker and Reaper. Even though she was in a bad spot-- her accelerator was on cooldown so she couldn't telport nor reload her guns-- she forces a smile and does her best to inspire confidence in the children. Even in a grim situation, Lena tries to keep up her image as a hero, not for her own ego but for the sake of the children.
However, she's horrible at hiding her emotions. She wears her heart on her sleeve and doesn't hide her true feelings about a person. She tells Sombra that Sombra ought to just disappear. She laughs when she's happy, tears up when she's upset, and yells when she's angry. It doesn't matter if it's an ally or a stranger, she can't entirely hide her emotions.
"lúcio! i'll race ya!"
Lena has a cheerful personality and a playful nature. She giggles during fights as she teleports around the battlefield, distracting and irritating her foes. Her pre-match banter includes challenging Lúcio to a race and teasing Winston with bananas. She can also be mischievous, like when she sneaks up on Widowmaker to tease her (and distract her from Winston). Of course, like all heroes, she loves to banter. She teases her enemies ("here to crash another party, love?") and is a little punny ("time's up!" Because she's a time-traveller. Get it? So funny).
it's an honor to meet a member of the shambali
Lena lives in a world where humans and omnics (androids) barely tolerate each other. In some places, like Numbani, they live together in relative harmony. In other places, like Lena's neighborhood of King's Row, tensions are much higher. In spite of growing up in a tense, divisive environment, Lena keeps an open mind about omnics and draws her own conclusions. She's canonically a great admirer of Mondatta-- a Shambali (omnic) monk who preaches equality and peace between the humans and omnics of the world). If that's not enough, one of her best friends is a super-intelligent, genetically modified gorilla scientist from the moon. So meeting talking animals or giant robots or aliens will be weird, but not as much of a shock as it might be otherwise. She's willing to let people prove themselves rather than allow the environment or culture to decide for her.
okay, dad
Lena's fearlessness made her a good test pilot, as well as a good Overwatch agent. She's willing to run headlong into danger and get the job done. The flip side of that is that she doesn't always look before she leaps. During her fight with Widowmaker, she ends up tripping a poison gas trap and nearly gets herself killed as a result. Her fearlessness, then, sometimes teeters into the territory of recklessness.
the world could always use more heroes
At the end of the day, no matter how many times she's knocked down, Lena is an optimist. She believes that the future can be better, that anyone can make a difference. And she'll encourage people to make the world better, to find their own inner heroism.
Contracts:
Lena is going to be so suspicious about the contract. Why isn't a verbal agreement enough? What happened to warrant a contract? Is there a possibility that it'll be used against them later? She's not going to let them know she finds it suspicious but she will ask a lot of questions. In the end, she'll sign it. For one thing, she'd be marooned on an alien world, which is kind of bad. But she does genuinely want to help them. The Ingress malfunctions are a big problem for everyone, and if she's been brought here, she's going to leave it a better place.
Abilities/Skills:
chronal disassociation
While piloting the experimental teleporting airplane (codename: slipstream), a malfunction caused both the pilot and the plane to disappear. Lena reappeared sometime later, but with a condition called chronal disassociation. She uses the chronal accelerator to stay anchored to the present time, but she's still able to manipulate her own time.
powers:
-- The ability to go forward in time, usually in short, three-second spurts. She can appear on the other side of a room in a split second, for instance. She uses this in combat as well.
-- The ability to go backward in time, but only a few seconds. She can rewind her own time, and reappear wherever she was and at whatever state she had been at the time. For instance, if she's shot and rewinds, she'll no longer have that injury.
limitations:
-- The accelerator has a cooldown period. During this time, she cannot time travel. So she can't jump backward and forward in time indefinitely-- she has to wait for her accelerator to recharge. Her guns are also tied to her accelerator. If it goes down, she can't reload until it's back to normal.
-- She must have a line of sight. Lena cannot go through solid objects.
-- Limited travel. She can only go forward and backward a few seconds in time.
-- Cannot affect others. Lena has control over her own time, not anyone else's.
-- Reliance on the accelerator. If it's broken, she runs the risk of turning into a living ghost, incorporeal and unable to stay in one time.
combat experience & training
Overwatch was a peacekeeping force, which means that agents like Lean were trained in combat. She would know things like:
-- hand-to-hand combat
-- marksmanship (she uses two pistols, though she knows how to use other weapons such as Widowmaker's gun)
-- first aid
-- strategy, especially how to use the environment to her advantage
-- reading body language
piloting skill
Lena was recruited to Overwatch because she was an amazing pilot. Although her career as a pilot ended with the Slipstream accident, she's still an enthusiast when it comes to planes. She can pilot in a pinch. However, she will need to learn or be taught about anything spacefaring, as it is not something she would have flown.
Strengths/Weaknesses:
strengths
-- personable/able to work in a team
-- knowledgable about airplanes
-- able to fly like. crazy good.
-- experience with combat
-- quick-witted
-- strong intuition
-- fast, even without the accelerator
-- experience with the manipulation of time
-- energetic and eager
-- resilient and resourceful
weaknesses
-- impulsive
-- unable to conceal her emotions very well
-- stubborn
-- over-reliance on her accelerator
-- likes to get dressed in the dark, I guess
-- sometimes too carefree
Items:
-- her outfit including the chronal accelerator
-- pulse pistols
-- a pulse bomb
SAMPLES
Network Sample:
[ Lena is, suffice to say, a little lost on the whole. Being sucked through a portal and ending up in space. Thing. But she has the MID and a whole ship's worth of people to ask, so she might as well try.
She turns on the video, looking surprisingly calm for someone who just got here. ]
Hiya, I'm Tracer. [ She gives a lazy two-fingered salute. ] Right, so I got the whole bit about a malfunctioning teleporter and that we're on a mission to fix it. Still trying to wrap my head 'round it but I've got experience with malfunctioning teleporters.
[ Ha ha she's so funny. ]
Never been to space before, though. So, any tips? Like what flavor of astronaut's food is the best. [ She wrinkles her nose. ] Hope it's a sight better than rations. But any tips would be fantastic. Or maybe just an introduction. It'd be nice to know the crew, yeah?
Anyway, 'til then [ She gives another two-fingered salute ]-- Tracer out.
