Overwatch Characters' Anime Dakimakura

The gaming industry is and has always been one of the pillars of digital technology. It is both the outcome and the precursor of the development of the technological diorama. Incredibly sophisticated games have been brought about only with the application of the most advanced software and hardware. Consequently, software and hardware are pushed further time and again by developers who wish to supply the unquenchable demand for the creation and purchase of better games. This interrelation between technology and the development of a human experience is at the literal and prosaic crux of the hit game—Overwatch, the subject for our company's prospective manufacturing of anime body pillows.

Overwatch

Published and developed by Blizzard Entertainment, Overwatch is an incredibly successful first person-multi-player shooter video game released last May 24, 2016 suitable for Windows, Xbox One, and the PlayStation 4. The game features a team-based combat with two teams of six competing for victory. Players may draw from a continuously expanding roster of more than 20 individual "heroes". The characters are further subdivided into four general roles: offense, defense, support and tank, adding a breadth of intricacy and coordination in the gameplay. As is widely agreed upon, the game's meticulously tailored characters and seamless playing experience removes any surprise from the game having already reached 35 million players at 2017's close and, reportedly, raking in approximately US$1 billion in revenue.

At its literary heart, Overwatch is essentially Blizzard Entertainment's take on Marvel's Avengers. The narrative of the game is set in a fictionalized Earth stationed 60 years in the future, and 30 years following the settlement of the "Omnic Crisis". The crisis was the product of artificial intelligence-run robots, called "omnics". Having achieved a sophistication parallel to that of a human's consciousness, the robots decided that they were no longer fit to be treated simply as machines and proceeded to create war-robots to enforce their rule on mankind. Reacting immediately, the United Nations decided to form an organization of extremely skilled fighters pioneered by two elite soldiers, Jack Morrison and Gabriel Reyes and, to quell the uprising. This group was later named as Overwatch.

After a brief era of peace, however, rifts started developing between the two Overwatch leaders. At the time, accusations and in-fighting broke loose in the organization and, culminated by the bombing of its Switzerland base, the United Nations has finally decided to close Overwatch and forbid any further action from its members by virtue of the Petra act. Although they were thought to be killed by the blast, the Overwatch leaders managed to survive, each disguising himself in pursuit of different goals. Morrison became "Soldier: 76", a vigilante set to uncovering the reasons why Overwatch was closed; while Reyes became "Reaper", a terrorist taking the persona of Death when he joined the criminal organization Talon/ A worsening state of unrest across the world prompted an Overwatch member to enliven the organization once more. This marks the beginning of the game.

1. Tracer

Hailing originally from London, Tracer became the youngest person to have been included in Overwatch's experimental flight program. Piloting the Slipstream jet, a jet able to travel through time, she disappeared together with it when it malfunctioned. Although already assumed dead, Tracer suddenly reappeared months later but in a vastly different condition. She was unable to ground herself in the present and continuously appeared and reappeared outside her control. It was Winston who managed to stabilize her by inventing the chronal accelerator which she wears up till today.

Tracer is one of the many characters in Overwatch who were built for the kill. She is a fast-moving character that traverses the map by teleporting, also referred to as blinking. She is an offensive-type character who relies on her speed to quickly cover the distance between her and her enemies, killing them before going back to safety as quickly as she has left. Outside the battlefield though, Tracer is a perky, jubilant character who calls everybody "love", even if that someone is trying to shoot her head off.
