Player age: 25
Characters already played: Tucker (RvB)
Name: Hana Song / D.va
Journal:playerofthegame
Canon: Overwatch
Canon point: While part of the MEKA unit, before the "Recall".
Age: 19
Reference: Love, D.va.
Personality: While one hates to reference the meme in an app, Hana Song is definitely a gamer gremlin. She streams her combat engagements, she makes comments about good games and nerfing, and has that certain bratty attitude that comes with someone who is good at something, and knows they are the best at that thing. Now apply that to a real-world combat situation and you have a pretty dangerous combination.
Hana Song is also known as D.va, the former number one StarCraft player in South Korea and a popular streamer. The only reason she still isn't number one, (allegedly), is because she now fights a giant robot Cthulhu that lives in the sea, while in a mecha exoskeleton that shoots unlimited guns. Yeah.
Of course, having that level of prestige (South Korea is very very big into Esports) means that Hana is a giant brat. Given that she's also nineteen, that's kind of to be expected. While she's not the type to troll, she does drop inflammatory comments like "Are you even trying?" and "Get owned!" and "I'm not a good loser" to the enemy team in game. Additionally, she's confident enough in her abilities to stream her real life combat engagements - which is ballsy considering again, robot Cthulhu. She was known in the Esports circuit for "showing no mercy" to her opponents.
So yes, she's conceited as all hell and prone to a sulk when things aren't going her way. The problem is she has the skills to back that conceit up. She's one of the best MEKA pilots, a national icon - she's starred in her own movie, making her a kind of Steve Rogers-esque hero archetype in the post-Overwatch age. She's a badass in her mech suit and a badass out of it as well, and she knows it.
That being said, Hana does have a tendency to get in over her head. Like any determined player, she is not the type to rage quit - instead, she's the type who will drive matches into overtime if she has a chance at winning. She doesn't like giving up, and thus she'll dive headfirst into dangerous situations without a second care. It's half ego, half self-assuredness that leads to this behavior. So, she's very stubborn.
Still, she obviously cares. Her in game comments about "Thanks for the love!" sound genuine, and she would not have joined the MEKA unit if she didn't care about her country and the people in it (and her viewers). There's a lot of inferred fridge horror with her - every few years, a giant robotic monstrosity rises out of the sea to attack South Korea's shores. There's an implied loss of life at least in the initial attack (and probably later ones), plus the danger of living in a high risk area.
So it's reasonable to assume that Hana does care. Maybe she covers it up with comments about being the best, but her throwing herself into her video games comes from escapism. And then when she realizes being the best in video games makes her the best at piloting, too, of course she keeps that bravado going. Otherwise, what is she going to do? Break down and cry? That's not Hana Song. She's too stubborn for it.
Skills and attributes: As the number one StarCraft player three years running in South Korea, Hana has excellent micromanagement skills and reaction times, which translate into good reaction times as a person. Despite the "gamer gremlin" jokes that are pretty accurate, when she's out of her mech she has high mobility and good aim (at least in the actual game, which I'll treat as canon in terms of her abilities). Her skills are why she was picked up as part of the MEKA unit, so she also has some experience in piloting and mechanics. She probably knows a little bit about maintaining her mech, but, she is by no means a mechanics expert and probably only knows what she needs to know (IE that her suit is nuclear in order to self-destruct it).
First person sample: [ hello, iwi. a brown-haired korean girl pops up in the video for this post. she's got a pair of obnoxious pink headphones on, and is wearing a giant purple shirt from what you can see in the video. ]
So, your phones absolutely suck. There's no games to download on here! You can only play snake on an old phone for so long before you start losing it.
[ she puffs her cheeks out in a pretty fantastic sulk. ]
Please tell me there's somewhere I can buy a handheld at least. Since I'm betting the hope of a gaming PC or console is too tall of an order for you guys.
Third person sample: Seriously.
Hana wasn't saying she enjoyed living somewhere where at any time, a giant bloodthirsty Omnic could come to wreck them all. But she definitely had a lot more to do when she was actually working with MEKA, when she could stream games in her downtime and stream actual fights during her uptime. Hell, she was famous!
Here, nobody knew who she was. Which, admittedly, was kind of nice, but she also didn't have her mech. Or access to reliable internet to stream. Or games. She really was going to lose it playing snake on the shitty phone all day.
Until she'd talked to someone and they'd mentioned the temples. Now, Hana knew she was stronger in her mech suit, but she'd been trained out of it as well. And with nothing to do, even if it wasn't her first preference to go climbing around an old dusty temple.. well, the promise of IRL loot had her figuring she could give it a shot.
She had been trained to fight Omnics and assassins. What kind of threat did an ancient temple pose?
