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!

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!
