Fall of Justice
Fareeha Amari grew up with a soldier's will in her veins. All her life she'd dreamed of being like the heroes she saw every day, she dreamed of being able to make a difference in the world just like her mother. Despite their strained relationship, she worked hard to one day make her mother proud. That day would never come though because some time after she'd joined the Egyptian Army and risen up in their ranks, her mother, Ana Amari, was killed in battle on a mission with Overwatch.
After her mother killed in action, she got her udjat, to honor her memory. Her mother had a similar tattoo, and had often told her it was a symbol of protection. At the time, Fareeha had assumed that it meant that her mother would always protect her.
After being honorably discharged from the Army, she was offered employment with Helix Security International, where she would be trained in using the Raptora Mark VI, an experimental combat suit designed for rapid mobility and devastating firepower. Under the call sign "Pharah," she worked to defend the artificial intelligence research facility beneath the Giza Plateau.
Fareeha got the call once the Overwatch organization had been recalled and she jumped at the chance to be a part of the organization she'd looked up to for so long. The world needed to be saved and shown justice once more, plus she'd finally have her chance to make her mother proud.
But things went terribly wrong.
Just like so many years ago at the Swiss Headquarters, there was an unexplainable explosion at the sight they had been called to. Pharah heard the blast and quickly arrived to make sure none of her coleagues had been injured, rushing straight into the flames to save who ever she could. But she didn't know that there were explosives that had not yet been set off and within seconds the next round of bombs were detonated around her.
The next few minutes of Fareeha's life were hell as she endured the worst physical pain she'd ever been exposed to. Each of her limbs had been blown clean off of her body, along with a portion of the lower right side of her face. What was left of her body now looked like a pin cushion, pieces of scrap metal and even pieces of her own raptora suit wedged deep into her skin.
As her vision blurred and darkness arrived, she wished for nothing more than death's final kiss.
But instead she found herself waking up months later in the medical ward of her former enemies. Talon had picked her up that day, rebuilt each of her limbs, and slowly nursed her back to health. After learning from Reaper that the mission had been approached carelessly and she'd been left for dead, she felt she had no choice but to stay and repay Talon for rebuilding her body.
Hello! This is more information for my talon!Pharah, loosly based on the stories and art of annadeef. They're amazing, this art on the side is by them as will be most of the art I show.
I'm Dee, I'm 26 years old and I've been RPing forever. Shipping will need to be discussed and will rely heavily on plotting and mature themes seeing as my muse is pretty damaged for the most part.
Headcanons for talon! Pharah:
Fareeha torso and face are covered by scars from the accident, so much so that she often has trouble looking at herself in the mirror.After being rebuilt by Talon, she has 4 prosthetic metal limbs that are programmed to feel like having her real limbs, with fingers, toes, etc. Her eye color also changed to a deep crimson.They also rebuilt and re-designed her raptora suit, allowing it to work better with her new prosthetics. She suffers heavily from PTSD because of that day, she frequently will hallucinate and have nightmares where she relives the pain of that day. She has trouble controlling her emotions, she has very frequent mood swings and will lash out violently when provoked. She is extremely insecure about her new arms and legs. Around the base she is comfortable walking around in a tank top and shorts letting them free but anywhere in public she tries to cover up, long pants, long sleeves or jackets, and even sometimes gloves.She harbors a lot of animosity and anger towards Overwatch. Since joining Talon, she's learned all about their dirty secrets from Gabriel Reyes, someone Fareeha was very close to as a child. Her feelings towards her mother are a mixture of grief, shame and rage, she knows that she is alive and has returned to Overwatch but Fareeha firmly believes she chose to 'die' and abandon her rather than returning to her family. She is less likely to pursue most romantic relationships for a few reasons. First, she's afraid to hurt anyone- she's still getting used to her prosthetics and everything that has come along with them, she doesn't know her strength and she's afraid to lose her temper. Second, she's convinced that she's not going to live very long thanks to her new health problems and addiction to opiates.She is more likely to pursue and fall into physical relationships in an attempt to feel more human. She is still very selfless, she is probably more willing to sacrifice herself for her teammates now that she feels she doesn't have much to lose.
