BIOGRAPHY
Symmetra, Age: 28
Profession: Architect
Base of Operations: Utopaea, India
Affiliation: Vishkar Corporation
“MAN’S TRUE ENEMY IS CHAOS.”
Symmetra literally manipulates reality by creating structures of hard light, shaping the world around her according to her ideas. In this way, she hopes to one day create the perfect society.
After the Omnic crisis, the Vishkar Corporation’s branch in southern India began the tedious work of building self-sufficient cities to provide housing for the displaced Indian population. One of these cities, built using advanced photon technology, was Utopaea. Architechs pulled up entire streets, housing units, as well as the city’s utility networks in a matter of moments.
Young Satya Vaswani was one of a few children who were given the necessary gift of an Architech to bend light. One day her talent was discovered and she came out of extreme poverty into the care of the Vishkar Architech Academy. She never returned home. Her new life was lonely, however, and Satya buried herself in her studies and education. She understood the possibilities of technology after a short time and was one of the best students in her class. Satya had a different approach to manipulating photons than her fellow students. The latter took a more pragmatic and mechanical approach, while Satya wove her constructs harmoniously with the movements of the traditional dances of her homeland.
Although she was already one of Utopaea’s best architechs, the Vishkar Corporation saw far more potential in her abilities. The company gave her the alias “Symmetra” and sent her on secret missions around the world to represent the company’s interests and extend its influence to other countries.
Symmetra believes that she always acts only for the good of the company. But from time to time she has doubts about whether control and order are really the best for humanity.
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.
