Description Here's a fan character I came up with for Overwatch. Figured I'd make a Canadian villain and base him on one of the darker industries in Canada, the Oil sands. He's meant as a defensive character and all of his abilities are build around covering a retreat instead of pushing the attack.

Left click : Flame Thrower, short range, medium damage. Deals extra damage to shields (could take down reinhardt's shield pretty quickly, and invalidate Zarya's shields ability to protect, albeit charging her beam)

Right Click: Either lobbing a flame grenade or an oil slick. The oil idea is neat because it could be different. if used on the ground, it could make for a patch of ground with no traction (think Ice mechanic) or once ignited it could act as a low damage denial tool. If applied to a character it could play with their vision (think blooper in mariokart) and they could be lit on fire for long term mid damage.

E: Pillar Mines. This is one of the defensive moves that covers a retreat and would be very effective in narrow corridors. You toss these at walls or the floor and a pillar of flame shoots out perpendicular to the surface the mine is on. They activate immediately, they don't sit there until an enemy comes by and they would once again deal mid damage. 

Shift: Blazing Trail: Exactly what it sounds like, this would leave a trail of flame in Rig's steps. once again a very good retreat move and very effective in narrow corridors. 

Q: Raging Rampart. Think Winston's shield, except that it offers a damage boost to all allies firing out from within and dealing damage to any enemies trying to run into it~

It also turned out to be one of the better character render/color jobs I've managed to pull off. Dat Ass~

I've got a couple of Ocerwatch fan characters of my own. Victor the Russo-American Jungle operative avenger09.deviantart.com/art/O… His nemesis Bones sta.sh/015zvz95ux5h an Evil Omnic that delights in murder. And Oliver Crane, a scout from Ireland sta.sh/020paui8yorr who I just now came up with.

Thank you. Wish I could make them better or commission someone but I don't have that kind of spare cash.

Very nice.  Also for fun, you can make it so when Blazing Trial is active you get a very slight speed/jump boost

Nice... I want to make my own Overwatch OC (I had a few ideas). I think the reason they have Mei instead of someone with a flamethrower is so they WOULDN'T infringe on Pyro from TF2 lol.

DKDevil In reply to animal-delos [2016-08-16 00:38:06 +0000 UTC]

I doubt that would ever be an issue. Valve can't sue over a guy with a flamethrower and Game mechanics can't be copyrighted~

Is it like an unwritten rule that overwatch characters need to have a nice ass?
