BIOGRAPHY
Baptiste, age: 36
Profession: Field medic
Base of Operations: Tortuga, Haiti (former)
Affiliation: Caribbean Coalition (former), Talon (former)
“THERE IS NO DYING WITH ME.”
A veteran field medic and former Talon agent, Baptiste is now committed to helping the victims of war.
Jean-Baptiste Augustin was one of 30 million children orphaned by the Omnic crisis. To escape the oppressive conditions of his background, he joined the army. The Caribbean Coalition, a regional force formed in response to the crisis, was his home for many years. Driven by a desire to help people, Baptiste chose a career as a field medic and served as an elite soldier in a special unit of the Caribbean Coalition.
After leaving the Army, it seemed Baptiste’s special skills were no longer needed. Of necessity, he eventually accepted an offer from the mercenary group Talon, one of the many organizations that profited from the post-war chaos.
For the first time, Baptiste experienced what it meant to live a life without worries. Talon’s missions were easy money, and he set aside enough to start a clinic in his hometown out of his own pocket. But as time went on, his unit’s missions became increasingly brutal, eventually culminating in murder missions and operations with civilian casualties. Baptiste realized that with these actions, his team was furthering the same cycle of violence that his old home had already fallen victim to. Disgusted with what he had done, he turned his back on Talon, determined to forge a new path.
But Talon was not willing to let him go. Baptiste knew too much, and specialists were sent to eliminate him. More and more Talon agents latched onto his heels, including many of his former comrades. Baptiste went into hiding and traveled the world, doing humanitarian work around the globe. The few Talon agents who actually managed to track him down disappeared without a trace.
Now Baptiste’s goal is to build a better world – as a medic and as a soldier. He knows he can’t undo his past, but he can try to do good.
OVERWATCH HEROES
Heroes are the main element in the game Overwatch, as the player can freely choose between them and their class and later play them.
In Overwatch you’ll find a variety of heroes: from the time-traveling adventurer to the armored, rocket-hammer-wielding warrior to the meditating robot monk. Each of the heroes plays differently, so mastering their abilities will only unlock their full potential. No two heroes are alike.
In Overwatch you can expect an international team of powerful heroes, each of whom has made a name for himself in his own way.
OVERWATCH
Overwatch is a team-based 6vs6 shooter that was released on May 24, 2016. Overwatch stays true to the true style of Blizzard’s previous titles. It was developed by Jeff Kaplan and is considered a “new concept” shooter in the FPS genre. The game was officially unveiled at BlizzCon along with 12 heroes on November 7, 2014.
The story of Overwatch is set on a highly fictionalized future version of Earth. In a time where humans and robots, which are called Omnics, live together (Chris Metzen hinted that the story deals with this very robot race). 30 years before the time when Overwatch takes place, the so-called “Omnic Crisis ” occurred. The robots, once helpers of humans, rebelled against their creators for reasons as yet unknown and triggered a worldwide chaos. Faced with the imminent destruction of human civilization, the best soldiers of all nations came together to form a program called “Overwatch”.
Their job was to protect the world from the Omnics, which they succeeded in doing. For the next 25 years, they were the protectors of the planet, united in an international coalition. Some agents stayed, some were replaced, but at some point something changed: the Overwatch disintegrated. However, 5 years later after this event, incidents with Omnics are again accumulating, a worldwide terrorist organization also seems interested in destabilizing the world order. A new crisis is looming. At this point, your career as an Overwatch agent begins.
