(won't be listing any *cough* shipping things but you already know who she has girlish crush on lmao)

Name: Rudi Valentyne
Alias: Rudi
Race: Human -- Caucasian (German-American)
Age: 25
DOB: November 26, 2051 (considering the current events of Overwatch take place in 2076)

Job: Mechanic / Robotic Technician
Affiliation: Overwatch (formerly until recall)
Role: Offense

Height: 5' 2''
Weight: 155 lbs.
Health Max: 250
Ammo Max: 20

Primary: Split-Shot - Using her Mirror Pistol she shoots a laser-bullet that bounces off the gun's mirrors, either splitting into two or three depending on how much ammo is left, each doing 10 a hit. Damage to more than one hero is possible if the circumstances are correct.

Secondary: Bolt Wrench - Her Melee weapon used as an alternate, does 50 damage. If you hit your opponent dead-on.

Ability 1: Zippy Heal - Making use of Zippy's reluctant med-bot skills, he heals Rudi for 150 health. Cooldown time of 8 seconds.

Ability 2: Catcover - Kaz's protective nature serves as Rudi's short-term shield, reflecting her time training with Reinhardt. His body as a sheild only lasts for 6 seconds before it's cooldown time of 4 seconds.

Passive: Zip-Jump - Using Zippy's little jet-pack, Rudi can double jump similar to Genji.

Ultimate Ability: Kaz-Boom - After locking onto a target, Kaz initiates a self-destruct sequence in which he blows up. Damage depends on the character.

Skins: [Rare]Rust, Circuit, Lilac, Cerulean. [Epic] V8 Sterling, V10 Gold. [Legendaries still undecided] Skins can be found here --> fav.me/da9wy9w

Background / Bio:

Due to her parents deaths early on in her life while visiting in Germany, Rudi was picked up and taken in by Reinhardt, a well known member of Overwatch. The young medic Mercy also took a bit of attachment to her as well, so she tagged along to help. Rudi's parents left behind her cat-like bot Zippy as her main companion, who tagged along with Rudi as she was taken with Reinhardt.

The German raised her until she was old enough to try and attempt training at the age of five, alongside the young Pharah, who was around 12. Due to her young age and blurred background, the heroes held back on her a bit with her abilities - she lacked a lot of components needed to do the jobs she did, but she was determined enough to keep trying. She was an odd child to say the least. She was even given cautious looks from others when she became attached and respectful towards the ever gloomy Reyes, who came to think of her as another stray that just didn't know when to leave him alone.

Her training is cut short due to the rising rivalries and conspiracies that start to go down in Overwatch, and Reinhardt leaves to take her away from the rising tensions, hoping to come back for his comrades and bring Rudi back when things settled down. However, after the base blows up and the news of Jack, Ana and Reyes perishing and the PETRAS Act ensues, Reinhardt decides to stay in Germany with Rudi until the recall, Mercy being a normal visitor while she did her medical things around the world.

In the current year of Overwatch, Rudi begs Reinhardt to let her come with him in response to Winston's recall. She had finished all the training she needed to do in his eyes, and happily agreed to taking her along with him, although she is still watched over by the unsure eyes of Mercy.

In that time she still keeps the now reluctant old cat-bot Zippy who had retired his offensive stances for medical equipment instead, always ready to help out Rudi by helping her up onto platforms with his jetpack and performing minor medical services. But now she also had finished building his upgrade, who she dubbed Kaz. She thought of it as just Zippy's new body until she learned her talents of robotics and machinery, noting she had given this "upgrade" a new life. Kaz is an offensive machine hidden by a sweet, loyal nature, and he'd protect Rudi with his life as long as he could.

Even with her bots' help, in the other heroes' eyes as she met them time and time again, reuniting with them from years ago, she feels like she still was being underestimated. She thinks she's ready to be a hero, but she knows the other's aren't sure. But, she doesn't let it hold her back - she still trains and fights and does whatever she can to try and prove herself, her determination and dedication to Overwatch never waning.

Extra Facts:

Regardless of pretty much being raised by Reinhardt and Mercy, two heroes with incredibly strong German accents, Rudi decided early on not to pick up their habit. However, there are some times where she slips and a long embedded accent surfaces. This also points to her speaking a lot of German while living with Reinhardt, although she now mostly sticks to English.

Her favorite drinks are root beer and hot cocoa, while her favorite food is pretty much anything prepared by Reinhardt.

Her bandanna is her most prized posession. Reinhardt gave it to her to symbolize the similar colour of his sheild, saying like it, it would protect her and give her hope.

She is guilty of being a hopeless romantic who grew up watching old dramatic Western shows, so why she has a soft spot for McCree is a pretty valid reason among other things. Whether or not it was her main influence for getting to know him besides Reyes is unknown.

Her goggles were a birthday gift from Tracer, her fireproof gloves were from Torbjorn, and her shoulder/kneepads were from Mercy.

She is extra embarassed and lacks self confidence when it comes to the scars on her right shoulder, the scar across the bridge of her nose she hides with a band-aid and the burns on her left wrist. She says she attained them from stupidity, but she doesn't like to talk about it. Most heroes respect her enough not to ask.

Some heroes call her different nicknames in their native tongue. Reinhardt calls her 'lehrling' and Mercy calls her 'engel'.

She is known be on the best terms with Tracer and D.va, but honestly thinks all of Overwatch is her family.
