I keep imagining this Overwatch OC. I can see how he might balance with the other characters. How he'd interact with them. Then I came up with another character. And another. And now I have a story.

"Moon Chang. Aka The Alchemist." Officer Lie Zhao read the name off of a file. Chang sat on the floor of prison cell inside of the Helix Maximum Security Prison. Zhao walked over to Chang's cell.
"I need healing." Zhao said. Chang quckly rushed towards the door, punching it as hard as he could.
"What do you want?" Chang asked. He observed the dent his fist made on the door.
"I need you for something." Zhao explained. He opened the file, quickly reading it.
Chang sat against the wall. "What do you need me for?" Chang asked.
"According to your file, you used to be a healer for Blackwatch." Zhao read. "Helix International ordered me to rebuild Blackwatch." Zhao closed the file.

"I was ordered to assemble a secret task force for Helix International, in order to retaliate against Talon's recent attacks." Zhao responded. Helix has recently been attacked by Talon across the world. The New Blackwatch was a proposed counterattack.
Zhao opened the door. "You can either join me and leave the prison now, or stay here while security gets even tighter."
Chang walked over to Zhao. "I won't be returning to this place?" Chang asked.
"As long as we never get caught. The public needs to believe we're criminal's, not Helix." Zhao explained.
"I'm in. For now." Chang responded. He followed Zhao out of the cell.
