Yet another villain for a potential MasksXOverwatch campaign.

El Blanco: Bronze generation, “to amass more power and influence,” Angry, Afraid and Guilty

“Ven y baila con la Muerte!” (Come and dance with Death!)

Though Marco Capello is not the only leader Los Muertos have, he is definitely one of the most feared, known for his ruthlessness, skill in battle, and flair for the dramatic. Growing up in a poor neighborhood in Dorado, he was an outcast and bullied for his albinism, so he sympathized with Los Muertos’ message of feeling left behind by society. Instead of getting tattoos, which might damage his skin, he took to wearing a skull mask, and without it he can pass for an innocent street musician. Turning his old nickname of “El Blanco” from an insult into a title, he rose quickly through the ranks, going from an errand-boy to a hitman to eventually becoming the boss of his local branch, and his ambitions show no sign of slowing down.

*Pretend to be an innocent street musician

*Send coded messages through his songs

*Smuggle powerful weapons in his guitar case

*Call on Los Muertos thugs for backup

#OverMasks

Another alternate-skin NPC for my potential MasksXOverwatch campaign. “Future generation” means this character hasn’t risen as a villain yet, but their origin story has already been set in motion unless somebody does something to stop it.

Ka: Future generation, “to prove its superiority over human heroes,” Angry, Afraid, Hopeless and Insecure

“I… WILL… RISE!”

After being defeated and contained by the Helix Security team led by Pharah, the god-program Anubis decided that the omnics it had been possessing weren’t enough of a force to win its freedom. From the data it gathered on the Raptora armor, it designed the perfect robotic warrior to serve as the leader of its army, and if need be, as a backup body for Anubis’s consciousness. Luckily, Anubis would need an omnium’s factories to actually build Ka, and it can’t take control of an omnium while it’s quarantined in the temple, so the world is safe… for now.

*Soar swiftly through the air

*Lead possessed omnics in battle

*Release a storm of semi-guided missiles

*Challenge a hero to a one-on-one duel

*Directly channel Anubis’s power

In creating original NPCs for my MasksXOverwatch campaign, I’m turning to the playable heroes’ alternate skins for inspiration. Eventually I’ll compile a document with all of them, but writing backstories takes time so for now I’ll just post them individually to see what y’all think.

Masquerade: Bronze generation, “to be whoever Talon needs him to be,” Afraid and Insecure

“Who do I want to be today…?”

Virgil Antonio was a small-time con man operating in the streets of Florence, until he scammed a member of the mafia, who set fire to his house in retaliation. He lost his left arm, and his face was severely burned (he has no hair anywhere, his nose and ears are just holes, and is face in general is sunken and vaguely skull-like). He wandered, broken and disfigured, until Talon found him and offered him a new lease on life. They fitted him with a prosthetic arm designed to look just like skin, and while they couldn’t restore his face, they used incredibly lifelike masks to give him a new one… or two… or twenty. Now, he serves Talon as a spy, infiltrator and assassin under the codename Masquerade.

*Change identities as easily as clothes

*Seamlessly blend in with any situation

*Fire a gun hidden in his cybernetic arm

Continuing my prep for a potential MasksXOverwatch campaign, here’s enemies from the trailers, animations and comics (plus the training drones from the game). What do y’all think?:

As you may recall, I’ve been thinking about running a Masks campaign set in the Overwatch universe for some of my friends. To that end, I’ve been creating characters from the game and supporting media as Masks enemies. Here’s the playable characters, what do y’all think?:
