Aleksandra Zaryanova, also known as Zarya, is a former Russian weightlifter and soldier and is currently a member of the terrorist group Overwatch. She is one of the strongest women in the world, but heavily uses steroids.
Zarya was born in an area of Russia devastated by the country's war against Overwatch. After a rough childhood, Zarya began weightlifting. It is unclear when she began to use illegal steroids, but what is certain is that when she became professional, she joined a conspiracy of multiple athletes, across multiple sports, who were actively hiding the use of drugs by tampering with urine samples.
It was only when Zarya was about to participate in the Olympics that her drug taking was discovered. Angered that such a national icon had proven false, the Russian Government forced Zarya into the Army, on assignment inside the Arctic Circle. They intended her to spend a lifetime in a frozen hell. But fate had other plans; the base Zarya was assigned to was infiltrated by Overwatch agents as part of an intelligence gathering mission. When she discovered the agents, Zarya decided to aid them under the condition that they got her out of Russia. They agreed, and after the mission was complete Zarya blew up the base herself, killing all inside.
Now an enemy of Russia, Zarya has been equipped by the scientist Winston with an experimental gravity cannon. With this, and her extraordinary strength, she will certainly stand out amongst the other criminals Overwatch has gathered.
DVa is the gamertag for Hana Song, and was once recognised across the world as one of the best Korean Starcraft players. However after the god programme Yongwang revealed she was hacking in order to win, she was disgraced.
LIke all Koreans, Hana developed gaming skills early in life, and she excelled, with record reaction times and quick thinking. However she also developed aversion to losing; to the extent she began using at first first minor, and large hacks to keep winning. Despite DVa becoming a popular streamer, she managed to hide her hacking. Eventually she gained enough support to join the ESports League.
Unfortunately for DVa, the god programme Yongwang, named after the Korean sea gods, was watching her. He believed DVa had the potential to be the best without her hacking. Entering the League as a proxy, Yongwang played until he came up against DVa. The two engaged in a now infamous game; the longest Starcraft game ever, with every mineral mined, main bases switched multiple times, drone runs. Even with minor, undetectable hacks, DVa found it impossible to defeat her enemy. Finally she became so desperate to win she spawned a non-multiplayer, campaign only unit. This allowed her to win, but everyone had saw her hacking.
Shamed, DVa fled Korea. When Yongwang revealed he had been the one playing against her, DVa swore vengeance on the omnic. Joining Overwatch, and taking a Mech as her weapon, DVa will do anything to win.
Two separate this time. They both have similar stories, so I felt it was kinda right to do Zarya and DVa together. Also it is 10 here, right now. I need to sleep. Request who comes next, favorite and follow to keep up with the story!
P.S. Kinda making up the god programmes, with what little we know so far. Will see more of them later.
