Echo’s Lore

ORIGINS

To chart the origins of the Echo project, it is important to delve into the personal history of Singaporean scientist Dr. Mina Liao, who would later become perhaps best known as one of the founding members of Overwatch. But prior to joining the organization, Dr. Liao was widely considered one of the preeminent experts in the fields of robotics and artificial intelligence, and an employee of Omnica Corporation. There she worked on the team that was responsible for the design and creation of the omnics that would ultimately wage war against humanity during the Omnic Crisis. Ultimately, it was this expertise that led her to be recruited into Overwatch to help stop her creations.

Even that catastrophe was not enough to dissuade Liao of her firmly held belief in the potential artificial life and its power to transform the lives of humanity for the better. She dreamed of improving upon the original omnic designs. These theories would become the foundation of the Echo project. However, due to Overwatch’s restrictions on artificial intelligence research and development after the Omnic Crisis, Liao was forced to limit Echo’s capabilities. What she created was a multirole, adaptive robot that could be programmed to learn different functions: anything from medical support to construction: but had serious limits to its independent decision making. Critically, Echo had multiple layers of protections, failsafes, and security to keep it under control. Echo was used successfully on test missions alongside Overwatch strike teams, but Overwatch leadership was reluctant to put it into full service.

REUNION

However, the truth was that Liao had programmed Echo with a powerful, general artificial intelligence that learned by observation. After thousands of hours in the scientist’s presence, much of Liao’s behaviors (including her speech), were adopted by the Echo robot. This secret that was known by very few, including Blackwatch agent Jesse McCree, who had, at times, been assigned to guard the scientist. When Liao was killed in attack on an Overwatch facility, Overwatch’s leadership was reluctant to continue pursuing such a dangerous project, and all development on Echo was shut down, and the robot was placed into quarantine.

OVERWATCH 2

Having joined up with the new Overwatch team to defend Paris against the Null Sector incursion, for the first time, Echo is seeing action as a full-fledged team member. But as she is exposed to new people, new ideas, and new situations without Dr. Liao to guide her, no one knows how she might evolve in the future.

Venom: First Host #3

The Venom baby is so cute; I’m dying

after enough online exposure to fat baby sleeper looking at canon absurdly jacked broad-shouldered sleeper becomes. so funny

women wear suits better than men and thats just a cold hard fact

Ok so we know Carnage likes metal, Eddie likes classic rock including the Rolling Stones and David Bowie, Sleeper enjoys show tunes and the kinks. Are there any other symbiote music preferences we know about? Also for a race that hates sound they sure do love music. Maybe its like campfires for humans. Acceptable levels of sound are comfortable but too much hurts.

Cleaning out my filing cabinet, I found this handout that I made for my mini-comics class.  Hope it’s helpful!  Remember, it ain’t only for comics.  Self-publish short stories, collections of drawings or sketches, or blank for journals/sketchbooks, etc.

This was excatly my first thought that Joseph abused, did something to judge/deputy. And i think judge has trouble with breathing sometimes?

Since tumblr is like eating half the ask when I answer it.

I can see it but I also can’t. Like seeing how Joseph is in New Dawn and Far Cry 5. New Dawn Joseph just seems like a dude trying to get by while living by his doctorine. Far Cry 5 Joseph has always read as a little more manipulative, you know?

Speaking as someone who has had a sibling murdered, I can understand Joseph wanting to hurt the Deputy for killing his family. (The Deputy was totally justified in killing them, but grief doesn’t always let you see straight) Like I can’t imagine having to spend 7 years ALONE with the person who killed my family. I would have a very strong urge to inflict violence upon them. So I can believe that Joseph acted out of grief and rage at some point, he’s human. Joseph and Dep could have very easily gotten into a fight, especially confined in a small space for so long. Joseph has been shown to use violence to get his way, it’s a last resort for him but he will do it.

Joseph could easily have injured the Deputy and then manipulated them into seeing it as their fault.

The Deputy also probably has that soul crushing guilt for bringing on the apocalypse, because Joseph was right. Joseph was right and now all their friends are dead. Joseph who probably tells them every day that this is their fault. Joseph probably had manic episodes, he probably sequestered himself for days, leaving the Deputy alone to their thoughts for god knows how long.

The Deputy probably hurt themselves, trying to make it right in their head. They probably screamed and shouted at the walls til they couldn’t shout anymore.

Whatever happened, they probably have problems breathing now too, like you can hear it. Maybe it’s the mask but just the way they like gasp makes it seem like they may be struggling.
