character information
● name: Widowmaker (Amélie Lacroix)
● canon: Overwatch
● canon point: Post "Infiltration".
● age: 33

● (canon) background: Here!
● (original) world: n/a

● abilities:

Sniping • Using her sniper rifle, Widow's Kiss, Widowmaker boasts one shot, one kill. She is deadly with her scope, and her slowed heartbeat further steadies her already impeccable aim. Her gun also has a semi automatic mode for shorter range firing, but her primary skill is in lying in wait for a target. No matter how small her window, she'll make the shot.

Grappling hook • She is highly mobile, using her grappling hook to pull herself into high places, dangle off of sharp drops, or cross wide distances. Widowmaker can get herself anywhere to best facilitate her ambush.
Venom mine • She has the necessary tools to plant small traps for unsuspecting enemies. When triggered, they release a small cloud of poison gas that suffocates and dulls the senses. It can even be enough to incapacitate or kill, if enough of the poison is breathed in.

Recon visor • When fully charged, her visor allows her to detect bio signals, even through solid walls. She uses this to aid her aim, knowing just when a target will finally dip into range.

Physical combat • Widowmaker has undergone rigorous physical combat training, and excels in various forms of hand to hand.

● strengths:

Focused and adaptable • Widowmaker is patient, ruthlessly so, and nothing will distract her from the task at hand. Even a direct attack cannot divert her attentions for long, and she will switch tactics for as long as it takes for her to take her shot and complete the mission. If called off she will disengage immediately, but as long as there's something for her to pursue she will find a way.

Loyal • To all appearances, Widowmaker is Talon's perfect operative. She is thoroughly loyal to the organization, and carries out all of their orders perfectly. She would never give up sensitive information. After all, she was made to be a living weapon, and a weapon is made to follow orders -- even when those orders are to kill her husband and return to Talon.

Perfect assassin • A lot of time and money was put into making Widowmaker what she is, and she uses all of her training frequently and skillfully. She is dangerous even when cornered, and uses the grace and balance of her previous life to deadly effect. She can accomplish any mission she's set on, and does so with a practiced and perfected touch, not minding at all the mortal (and certainly not legal) repercussions.

● weaknesses:

"Emotionless" • Widowmaker has been recreated by Talon to feel nothing at all. Her heartbeat has been slowed, steadying her aim and dampening all emotions. She claims to feel alive only in the moment of her kill, and certainly that's the only time we ever see her smile... but at the same time, she visits her late husband's grave with a rose, and cries his name upon being revived. If Widowmaker has emotions, and if she does they are few and deeply buried, she is presently oblivious to them.

A Weapon • Widowmaker is no longer what anyone could call an ordinary person. It's right in the name, really. She doesn't go by Amélie anymore; Amélie is dead. Hand in hand with that, much of her previous life has been repressed. She does clearly remember it (Ana tells her that her husband was a fool to love her, and she defensively hisses that Ana knows nothing of him), but those memories seem to have no impact on who she is today at all. It's doubtful she even remembers how to handle herself off the battlefield, or what to do with herself while not serving Talon. She has been thoroughly programmed to be what she is, and no more.

Vanity • One emotion Widowmaker has certainly been allowed to keep is her vanity. She is not above mocking her opponents, and can't resist dropping a few smug quips if and when she bests them. She is the number one sniper in the world, and she's not afraid to remind anyone of the fact. Especially not the number two sniper in the world.

● skills (optional): All of her skills are in the "living weapon" category, primarily: reconnaissance, perfect aim, the amazing ability to never get bored on a stakeout.
● housing (optional): No preference!
