SOLDIER: 76 the war goes on

OUT OF CHARACTER;

PLAYER: Whit

THREADHOPPING: Ask me first to make sure I don't have plans for the thread.
FOURTHWALLING: N

IN CHARACTER;

NAME: Jack Morrison | Soldier: 76
CANON: Overwatch
CANON POINT: Post-Doomfist's escape from prison, current with all "present day" lore as of Searching.
AGE: Mid-fifties.
HEIGHT: 6'1"
BUILD: ~210-220lbs, vaguely dorito-shaped, probably not as buff as he used to be but still pretty okay.

AFFECTION: You can try. He won't reciprocate and might even respond poorly, depending on what it is, who is doing it, and how they go about it. You should probably ask him first, or try not to surprise him, at the very least.
RELATIONSHIPS: 76 is gay but unlikely to say anything about it unless directly asked. He's of the belief that he doesn't deserve regular people things like significant others because his mission comes first. Generally speaking, he's emotionally unavailable and vaguely traumatized, so I won't be pursuing in-game ships at this time. However, unrequited stuff and all of the awkward that comes with it is totally cool. Let's talk!
VIOLENCE: Violence is fine, but he's a little bit unhinged and prone to lashing out, so provoke at your own risk. I'm fine with injury (minor to major to permanently debilitating) as long as we discuss it beforehand.
TELEPATHY: Completely unable to detect mental intrusions but won't take kindly to it if he does find out. If you play a telepath/empath/psychic/mind reader and need more information about what you might find in there, just let me know. I'll be happy to fill you in.

PHYSICAL INFORMATION:
76 was genetically augmented in his late teens/early twenties as part of an experimental US government "soldier enhancement program" and has retained these abilities in Balance. As a result, he has greatly increased strength, speed, agility, stamina, and durability. He's able to perform superhuman physical feats and maintains a kind of homeostasis that helps him adapt to harsh environments. He can take punishment beyond what can be withstood by a normal human, and bounces back from injury faster with an accelerated healing factor. However, his enhancements have been shown to falter under the influence of a debilitating biological agent, and generally speaking it's implied that he's become less able with age.

Still, he's an incredibly capable combatant, with decades of advanced military, arms and special/covert ops training. In combination with his genetically enhanced physiology, this makes him a force to be reckoned with in a one-on-one (or five-on-one) fight. Or any kind of fight. He’s described in-universe by people who got on the wrong end of his fists as “[…] a professional. Confident. Surgical”.

MENTAL INFORMATION:
War is hell. 76 has PTSD, bad coping mechanisms, and betrayal-related trauma. He's an expert compartmentalizer, but his goal-driven mindset has become self-destructive paranoia and obsession. Tries very, very hard to dissociate from the man he used to be and the ideals he once championed. Fighting is the only thing he feels he can do.

OPT OUT;

UNWANTED SCENARIOS:
No dub/noncon, but otherwise I'm pretty okay with most things. Just ask if you're unsure!

ADDITIONAL PERMISSIONS:
He punches real hard, so just let me know if you plan on picking a fight with him. If for any reason you'd rather opt out from interacting with him entirely, please let me know on my HMD.

✓ Flaming Sword: You have the ability to channel divine energy into your sword, making it light with fire that does not damage you.

✓ Insight: You become naturally adept at telling when people are lying to you, and feel a hunch urging you to ask questions until the truth comes out.

✓ Perform Oath: You can swear your allegiance to someone and become their protector. The affected person must understand a Paladin's duty for this to work. Those who are protected under your wing will share a bond with you. They will be able to tell if you're hurt as well as your general location. The connection is two-way.

✓ Divine Smite: You can call upon the divine to rain down holy energy on a target.

✓ Shield of Faith: You can use magic to create a holy aura around another target that will take 1 blow for them.

Dragon's blood now flows through your body. You become immune to all damage associated with the element your dragon's blood is related to and gain the ability to speak Draconic.

Additionally, you may make magical breath attacks that coordinates to one of the following:

• Lightning - exhales lightning directly onto all creatures within a line, 5 feet wide and 30 feet long

✓ Jump: Your jump speed is quadrupled, allowing you to soar into the sky up to 20 feet. Landing while using a weapon creates a particularly strong physical attack. This ability activates in a way that does not allow your enemy to attack you while making the initial push off.

✓ Dragoon Trance: (P) You call forth the might of Dragoons of yore for up to 1 minute. While jumping, you can remain in the air for the duration, summoning spectral dragon's wings to keep you afloat. Driving a strike downward allows you to inflict colossal damage.

✓ Battle Litany: (REQUIRES DRAGOON TRANCE.) Your dragoon's trance advances, allowing you to extend your calmness and vigor outward to up to 4 other creatures for up to 1 minute. While inspired by you, your allies cannot be frightened, charmed, restrained, or knocked prone. They gain immunity to your dragon blood's elemental affinity.

✓ Respected Presence: Your deeds and your valor are known widely, earning you a respected place on any team or in any battle. Once per mission or interlude, you may add a +3 to one roll of your choice.
