Brighter than a Shooting Star

Cora's Overwatch Shrine

Overwatch, or OW for short, is a free-to-play PvP hero shooter game by Blizzard Entertainment.

In the past year or so, I've gotten more invested in the game lore and dedicated to improving my strategy and skills. And since I could yap about this game forever, I've made this place to share my love for it all!

The World of Overwatch

(My very, very brief summary of the story)

OW is set in our world, 60 years into the future, in a post–world war setting. Overwatch was an international task force that formed as a response to the Omnic Crisis, a worldwide disaster where a rogue enivornmental conservation AI took control of the world's robots and attempted to eliminate all of humanity in the interest of saving the planet. Overwatch comprised scientists, diplomats, soldiers, search-and-rescue forces and more, but most people know it for its elite strike team of heroes.

The Omnic Crisis was eventually quelled by a sentient robot, Aurora, who "awoke" her kind on an instant, global scale and created the Omnic race. Though the war is over, the world is still recovering and new, malevolent forces have risen up to take advantage of its weakened state. A new generation of heroes is needed to protect the world against its latest threats.

Overwatch lore is scattered across many animated shorts, comics, books, short stories, and other media. It's a lot to dig through, so I'd say that the best starting point is the three-part Genesis series.

If you want to explore more of the game lore, I suggest checking out the official OW Media Gallery and the Overwatch Wiki!

My Mains

I play mainly Support because I love the utility of Support heroes on top of their damage abilities. It's a great feeling to be able to enable teammates to make big plays and stay alive. However, I also enjoy playing Damage and Tank too!

Baptiste

Role: Support

Country: Haiti

About: Jean-Augustine Baptiste is a former Talon medic who defected to become an Overwatch agent and make amends for his past. He's friendly, upbeat, and often makes corny, flirty jokes, particularly about how good-looking he is.

Kit: Baptiste is a mobile character with a lot of tools to keep his allies standing: a gun that fires healing projectiles, an AOE heal, a healing shoulder turret, and an Immortality Field. He's one of the three supports that does hitscan damage.

Juno

Role: Support

Country Planet: Mars

About: Juno Teo Minh is the first human to have been born on Mars. However, trouble on her planet forced her to travel to Earth to find help for family and friends back home. She is cautious and naive, but extremely curious and loyal to the ones she loves.

Kit: Juno's hover boots give her great mobility, and her Hyper Ring speeds up the movement of her allies. She can do decent damage as her pulsar torpedos lock on and home in on enemies.

Cassidy

Role: Damage

Country: USA

About: Cole Cassidy was a robber and outlaw when part of the Deadlock Rebels, but he changed his ways when offered the opportunity to put his gunslinging skills to better use with Blackwatch and, later, Overwatch. He has a laid-back personality and seems to always have one foot out the door when it comes to being an Overwatch agent. Despite what he says, he sticks around.

Kit: Cassidy's kit is simple: a revolver and a flashbang grenade, both of which are most useful at short-range. Accuracy is rewarded with high damage output.

Junker Queen

Role: Tank

Country: Australia

About: The Junker Queen, Odessa Stone, is the current ruler of the Junkers, a rough, cutthroat society of the Outback wastelands. She earned her title after winning the Reckoning, a gladiator-style arena fight. Since then, she's ruled with an iron fist.

Kit: Her knife is called "Gracie," and her axe is "Carnage." Both are brutal weapons that cause damage over time while also giving her life steal. Gracie can also pull enemies into pits, traps, and the path of an axe swing.

Honorable Mentions: Ana, Kiriko, Illari, Tracer, Winston

Favorite Skins

I don't own these skins or even play these characters. I just love these skins in particular and appreciate seeing them out in the wild!

Tier List Maker

During queue times, my friends and I love playing what we call the "Headcanon Game," where we assign headcanons to all the characters based on a prompt. Sometimes they are unique qualities assigned to each character and sometimes they're a position in a tier list. I don't like using tier list sites, which are often out of date and require sign‑ins to make/edit lists, so I made my own here! This tier list maker includes all 51 current heroes, and I plan to update it as new heroes are added.

Instructions: Click the character portraits and drag them to a tier. When you're done, use your native screen-capture tool to take a screenshot and save it to your computer/phone. To reset the list, refresh this page. If you're not sure who a character is, you can hover over their portrait to see their name. The title text and tier names can be edited!!

Click the button for a prompt to inspire you!

Pixel Spray Adoptables

Do you love the pixel sprays as much as I do? I'm in the process of converting them to a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio! It's an ambitious task, so please check back for new additions! Not my artwork!!

About the Theme

"Brighter than a Shooting Star" is a theme inspired by Juno Teo Minh. She's a Martian girl who's timid and naive, but sees the world with curiousity and optimism.

This theme is how I imagine she'd record her thoughts: as a bullet journal decorated with lots of stickers, highlighters, and gel pens. The theme name itself is one of Juno's voice lines!
