character information
● name: Hana ‘D.Va’ Song
● canon: Overwatch
● canon point: After the events of the ‘Recall’ short
● age: 19
● (canon) background: official bio, story on wiki, canon timeline
● abilities:
reflexes— the primary reason that the Korean military has resorted to recruiting top gamers into their piloting ranks is the reflexes these gamers possess, which makes them more effective in piloted units compared to artificially intelligent but predictable drones. As the country’s top gamer and consequently its top pilot, Hana’s reflexes are extraordinary, allowing her to track her targets consistently and protect herself by neutralizing incoming pr objectives with only some targeting assistance. In her Starcraft days this also afforded her a high “APM” (actions per minute) which meant she could be acting and reacting to several things simultaneously or in quick succession, and this has lent itself quite well to her piloting abilities.
mech unit piloting— in her MEKA unit, Hana is agile and powerful. Her unit is small and incredibly mobile, equipped with boosters that thrust her forward or into the air for a brief period and a default movement speed that isn’t too cumbersome for an armored mech unit. She is quite aggressive in her piloting style (or play style, as it were), being able to get into close quarters with enemies and then being able to dart away at her convenience. Her unit is equipped with mid- to short-range fusion cannons which essentially have unlimited ammo, but slow her mech down while firing. It also has a Defense Matrix function, which is a projected targeting array that allows Hana to neutralize incoming projectiles at her behest. Finally, the mech is equipped with a self-destruct sequence that basically turns the mech into a mini a-bomb.
In Overwatch gameplay, Hana is able to summon new mech units at her will whenever one is destroyed or self-destructed; however, I consider this to be a mechanic that exists purely for gameplay and as such, if she were to gain her mech here in-game, she would not be able to summon infinite mechs from the sky whenever she wants. However, she would still have the ability to ‘Call Mech’ which would call her (one and only) mech unit to her location much like Tony Stark would call his suit.
● strengths:
determined— Hana didn’t become the world’s top-ranked player in Starcraft II at age sixteen without a fiercely competitive spirit and the drive to become the best at what she does. And when that determination gave her the top rank, it naturally made her a top pick for the Korean military’s MEKA pilot program-- and Hana readily rose to that occasion, eager to prove her skill in real life combat after having proven herself virtually.
confident— Her first name means ‘one.’ And she will, without fail, continually remind any and all who will listen that she is, in fact, #1. Hana is confident and quite loudly so; confident of her skills, confident in herself, and confident in her place in the world even in spite of her young age, unafraid to stand up for herself when someone doubts her.
charismatic— D.Va has a bit of a charm about her that has made her into an international icon, whether it’s through e-sports, being a military hero in her country, or even a movie star. She has a massive following that includes even other celebritrities and several sponsorship and marketing gigs that all speak to her ability to connect with and sway people.
● weaknesses:
self-centered— just as her handle implies, D.Va is… well, a bit of a diva. Along with that confident attitude of hers comes a general attitude that everything is about her or revolves around her and it colors the way she interacts with people and the way she thinks people should be interacting with her. It also means she gets a little nasty and frustrated when things don’t go her way (i.e. she is the sorest of losers).
irreverent— when so much of her life has revolved around gaming, Hana has a tendency to be rather flippant about things that seem like they should be heavier. For example, she treats her assignment to MEKA and her missions in fighting in the Second Omnic Crisis like a game, even streaming her operations from her mech like someone would stream themselves playing a video game. And when reminded that things like war aren’t games, she would respond with, “are you sure life isn’t a game?”
ruthless— Hana was known to be fiercely competitive and merciless with her opponents as a competitor in the pro-gaming scene, and the same continues to hold true now as a soldier on the battlefield as far as her enemies are concerned. She doesn’t hesitate to dive into battle to shoot bad guys down and even keeps count of how many she’s taken down; that same determination that’s driven her forward in both her career as a soldier and as a pilot similarly makes her, perhaps, overeager for fights and single-minded in wanting to win without regard for much else.
