+1 ex-yakuza assassin

[kuyamu]

hello folks, allow me to join the intro train: my name is isabel (dragonstrike) and i'm bringing with me hanzo shimada from that online shooter game overwatch. please do not let my chosen icon fool you, he's by far the least friendly member of your new budding overwatch cast.

i could go on about him forever, but to give you a brief picture: he presents himself as quite cold and composed, but emotionally he's a huge fuckin' mess, owing mostly to trauma and childhood grooming to inherit his family's yakuza empire. he kind of killed his little brother once, and then it turned out he actually just became a cyborg, and hanzo still hasn't figured out how he feels about that yet. he's also been in self-imposed exile for 10 years so forgive him if he's terrible at socialising. he is very, very miserable and low-key suicidal.

anyway, i'm excited to start doing things, i hope y'all enjoy this trainwreck of a man, and if he's an asshole just like..... go tattle on him to genji. genji will handle it. he has the power of crushing guilt on his side.

[kuyamu]

HEY....... YOU............

[genice]

i love how all i learn about overwatch is through rp and it never fails to make me go "dang, son"

which is to say: hello isabel! i'm kc, in this round with victor from yuri!!! on ice: so basically a world class competitive figure skater HONESTLY I REALLY LOOK FORWARD to seeing what hanzo does in setting

[kuyamu]

nice to meet you kc!! i never got around to watching yoi but i know a lot about it through osmosis and i know that victor is ridiculous, so i'm sure i'll enjoy seeing him around lmao

[genice]

hahaha yes, ridiculous is a wonderful descriptor for Victor all the way SO YES... i hope so sfgdgf

[advanced]

I am absolutely rubbish and have never played Overwatch, but terrible pasts and being an awful trainwreck are at least things these losers have in common. AKA hey, I'm Fossil, and I play MCU Bucky.

[kuyamu]

HEY FOSSIL yknow somehow i still haven't actually seen winter soldier??? i should. make that a priority. but anyway yes BRAINWASHING VICTIM BUDDIES even if hanzo will never ever admit that what his family did to him was brainwashing!!!

[peacekeeps]

chin on hand best Hanzo best!!!

[kuyamu]

holds ur face are u ready..... for hanzo to play it cool while totally expecting jesse to murder him at any time

[peacekeeps]

clutches u, whispers bring on the anxiety train

[pundemic]

hi isabel!

i'm roy and i like overwatch (h-ha ha lvl 802........) and i'm excited to see a cast in-game hiyoo. i play this girl here from the last of us who is small and fierce and tbh would probably get along great with hanzo since he's a lot like her not!dad (guilt included!) and a pirate, James Flint from Black Sails.

looking forward to having you in the game and i hope you have a tonne of fun c:

[kuyamu]

lmao it's ok i'm lv 405 and i have like 250 hours of mercy.....

ahhhhh i think he'll definitely like ellie, they can stick arrows in things together, and i'm SCREAMING I LOVE FLINT he's my favourite black sails character!!!

[pundemic]

I'm at 160 hours on Mercy so I feel your pain, broski. (95 on reaper, 90 on Zarya, almost everyone else has between 20-40 except torb. whom I have not once ever played in a real game. #OVERWATCHES)

AND OMG YOU KNOW BLACK SAILS hi hello my tiny niche show it's so good and the series finale happened and meanwhile I'm just sitting here screaming into a paper bag.

[kuyamu]

support woes..... i think my next most played is 60 on d.va, mercy is too much of a main haha

BLACK SAILS IS SO SO GOOD & THE FINALE FUCKING KILLED ME i'm still sad that eleanor didn't make it to the end bc she's my other fave but GOD WHAT AN ENDING

[pundemic]

mercy is a huge timesink i agree. I find I'm always improving with her, too. No such thing as a perfect Mercy game.

also I HAVEN'T ACTUALLY SEEN IT YET (but i know all the spoilers because I just had to know) and I'm just. Ugh??? UGH??? What kind of gay Odyssey?? yells forever about oars and shovels and symbolism!!!

[kuyamu]

YEAH i'm trying to get better at dying less so that i can improve my k/d ratio, but unfortunately that sometimes also relies on having teammates in the right places which, lmao

I KNOW I CAN'T FUCKING BELIEVE IT ugh. angry gay pirate getting a happy ending at the cost of everything he believes in, what a narrative. my entire year is blessed

[pundemic]

teammates in correct places???

??


AND MY GOD I just. Yes. Yes. It's such a delight to run into someone else who knows these feelings because literally everything about Flint's journey in BS has been a Gift to me. Toby Stephens and his unfair dumb emotive face doing unfair dumb emotive things like did this man sell his soul to the devil for those microexpressions or is this just a genetic side effect of being Dame Maggie Smith's son??

[mysophobic]

I'm so glad to see all these OWs coming in. As a Hanzo main (dun dun dunn) I am looking forward to throw my derp at you.

[kuyamu]

A HANZO MAIN....... a rare and elusive creature to me, a mercy main with 250+ hours on her who spends all my spare time practising hanzo in custom AI games in the hopes that someday i can be a good hanzo
