Loosely based on the game, this would tell the story of a custom version of Overwatch, an international watchdog agency operating with a U.N. Charter. It takes place in 2071, twenty years after the agency was formed.

The global powers narrowly missed a third World War several times prior to 2027, before the Magoria Virus outbreak nearly crippled the largest economies. In the aftermath, Omnidex Solutions unveiled their new robotics program, the Omnic Emergency Response Droids. By 2040, they had also launched Civil Service Droids and Security Patrol Droids. Additionally, advances in artificial intelligence had given these droids nearly human personalities, ultimately leading them to collectively call themselves "Omnics."

In 2046, Omnic rights activists hacked into Omnidex's server network and uploaded a virus, disabling the Cerebral Control Grid and giving the droids full freedom of thought and expression. This led to the Omnic Crisis as a majority of them either went violently insane or became ruthless avengers against who they perceived as cruel human overlords. Some of them remained peaceful and called for a halt to the violence, while others received organic implants and skin graphing to be more human. Humans began doing this as well, augmenting themselves with Omnic implants and artificial limbs and organs.

By 2051, The United Nations Security Council motioned to create a watchdog organization specifically to monitor and respond to Omnic-related threats, including Omnic Rights abuses and black market dealings in illegal augmentations and implants using Omnic technologies.

The year is now 2071, and Overwatch has been operating for twenty years. They are headquartered out of Watchers' Point, an artificial island complex just off the coast of New York City. They also have a variety of other bases and outposts around the world, such as Enclave-01 in Paris or Enclave-38 in Johannes.

Our characters are members of the Overwatch Covert Operations Division, Team Six. The Team is led by Senior Field Agent Morgan Schrow, who has a variety of government-sanctioned augmentations and mutations to his physical body. His flesh is very durable and possesses a regenerative healing factor. His senses are heightened, enhanced strength, agility, and reflexes, and a neural implant that gives him the ability to wirelessly control static and kinetic energy in the world around him with his mind, similar to telekinesis. Additionally, he is equipped with bionic eyes that allow him a greater range of vision capabilities like infrared and night vision, and also projecting a computer interface within his visual perception, using the neural implant to will the display to operate the menu interface.

Feel free to create your perfect agents as well :D.
