My second Overwatch OC - Fatih "Firewalker" Ateşgezer

General Discussion
1

A friend of mine and I had a nice discussion about the Turkish hero. Though I made my first hero named “Asena”, I decided to make a rather representative Turkish hero. And here comes… Firewalker:

Full Name: Fatih Ateşgezer
Also Known As: Firewalker
Age: 45
Weight: 1,86 m
Height 82 kg
Role: Damage
Occupation: Commander of the 6th Corps Command in Adana
Voices: Tamer Karadağlı (English), Akio Otsuka (Japanese)

Appearance: He dons a futuristic Sipahi armor. He has short-cut jet black hair and vibrant green eyes. He has towering height and well built physique. He carries a portable cannon based on Şahi artillery.

Weapon: “Conqueror” is his beloved portable cannon. It fires one cannon. Each shot he made gets his damage higher. When the weapon is fresh out of ammo, he takes one from the pallettes on his torso.

Invulnerability (Ability 1): When activated, he gets immune to damage up to 5 meters radius. Even on the move.

Self-Armor (Ability 2): When taken damage, he takes out an armor plate and replaces the damaged with new one.

Hell’s Fire (Ultimate): When activated, his portable cannon turns into a flamethrower and throws flame in 18 seconds. His ult line for enemy is “Cehennemde yanın!!!” while for self/friendly is “Burn in hell!!”.

Miscallenous: He has striking resemblance to Dr. Strange in Marvel Universe.

(PS: I didn’t add his personality, interactions and dialogue because it would take some time. So stay tuned.)

Yeah Bada said he met someone actually nice here :stuck_out_tongue:
as for the hero

looks good from what I can tell, (although you made me google the armor and cannon thing) looks good, and I can see what you’re going for

Considering its a cannon, and cannons had a lot of… hmm should we say Spread? due to ball projectiles and no rifling those things could curve and bounce all over the place…

I would like to see a different kind of “weapon” in overwatch…

so if you don’t mind I would like to tack on an Additional to his weapon in that to fire straight its a single click… but you could “arm” the projectile to give it curve?

E.G hold down the Left or Right mouse buttons longer giving the ball projectile spin in one direction or the other, allowing the shooter to bend the shot around corners… the longer you hold the greater the curve… while not adding any additional damage, it would make for an interesting Battle style and bring a little finesse to a projectile hero instead of just spam like we see with most projectiles

what do you think?

An interesting idea for Firewalker’s ability. Is it like Zarya’s Barrier but spinning around?

4

no no… like

think of zaryas secondary fire, the ball of energy she shoots out… coming out of the cannon…

a quick click and the ball goes straight at the target… but…

if you want to “curve” the ball, hold the fire button down for a couple of seconds and then release, when you release the cannon will fire, and the “ball” that comes out of it will “curve” either left or right depending on the mouse button you used, and how long you held it for…

kind of like how Pro bowlers throw their ball off to the side and it curves into the pins at the end of the lane

5

Haaahhhhh, I got it. A curve-based projectile fire selection. If I press the Left Mouse, it will go left. If I press the Right, it will go right. Right?

6

exactly, and the longer you hold the greater the curve “up to a certain point” :slight_smile:

7

Hmm… I see. So, can I make that curve-based ability one of those two or the third one?

8

no no I was thinking just his regular weapon does it, single click for straight, and click+hold either button for curved fire

9

I understand it better now. What kind of passive ability do you suggest?

10

I wouldn’t say he needs one to be honest, not every hero has one, I think he seems pretty well rounded

its just the weapon I would like to see something a bit unique and less “spammy” more skilful if you know what I mean

11

I figure this one out. His weapon has firing selection, like what you said: Single for straight, press+hold for the “curve”. What do you think about his ultimate?

12

I would say its good…

give it a prime timer, like junkrat revs up the tire… idk… have him stuff a load of gunpowder in the cannon and light it, then as you say flamethrower

13

I’ll think about it. By the way uhmm… it’s so nice to meet you. Not everyone has such marvelous conversation.

14

no worries, im friends with Badafarusima :stuck_out_tongue:

15

Me too. It’s a good thing I followed Bada’s tips. Before I forget, I would like to show my first OC. Would you like to take a look?

16

ive seen that one bud, and I liked it

17

Already? That’s good to hear. I also read uhm… forums about Zarya not being representative for the Russian culture. So I decided to make an actual Russian OC that fits the Russian stereotypes pretty well. What do you think?

18

problem with zarya is she was designed after one of blizzards LGBT+ employees and was pretty much just shoehorned into the “Russian” thing so yeah I agree not representative of Russia…

and sure man, I like any OC ideas

19

I know this. Some people even had better ideas for the Russian hero/heroine. The best example is this:

“TBH I would have preferred Zarya to be an old wrinkly woman wearing a kerchief, a USSR style overcoat, holding an AK-47 lookalike gun in one hand and a bottle of vodka in the other. Also add a small portrait of “not-Stalin” somewhere in there, like in a small locket she carries on her neck. In other words, I would like her to be full stereotype. Right now she seems more like a Tumblr elemental than a Russian woman.”. (From Leezard)

its 2019 and blizzard is a company from California… unfortunately this means “diversity” comes before everything else lol
