NAME: Hana "D.Va" Song
AGE: 19
CANON: Overwatch
CANON POINT: After being drafted into MEKA
CANON INFORMATION: Here! Also, Hana's a former professional StarCraft player, which is treading into 4th wall territory; please let me know if this is going to be an issue and I can adjust accordingly!
PERSONALITY: (Some of this is headcanon, since Overwatch doesn't really have a lot of canon material for D.Va yet, but I've tried to provide sufficient evidence to back everything up!)
Hana "D.Va" Song is a force to be reckoned with, both inside and outside of virtual reality. She's extremely confident in everything she does, from annihilating top-tier StarCraft players to shooting down her opponents in real life. Fearless, relentless, and skilled in Not Taking Anyone's Shit, Hana is a perfect candidate for defending her country in any crisis.
Hana's entire life revolves around gaming. She started her professional gaming career rather early; at the age of 16, she became the #1 StarCraft player in the entire world, and went undefeated for three whole years, gaining an enormous fanbase in the process. She will shamelessly use gamer lingo in real life, even while defending her country through MEKA; because she treats war just like she treats her games. Hana plays to win.
She also seems to enjoy being in the spotlight. She has gained fame internationally, not only through video games, but through streaming combat operations through her mech and being damn good at what she does. On the Hollywood map in the game, she has a specific quote: "This is my kind of city! Lights, camera, action!" Hana's starred in the movie Hero of My Storm as one of the main roles, so it's clear that she enjoys being in the entertainment industry. Her fame is well-deserved, because she shows absolutely no mercy to her opponents, regardless of who they are, and Hana's not a good loser.
Because, thing is, she's kind of a huge brat. Hana isn't above taunting her opponents and taking jabs at them (see: quotations page). She says what's on her mind and doesn't appear to sugarcoat anything. She can come across as overconfident--and that's because she is--but she has every right to be, looking at all of her accomplishments.
One must consider, however, that Hana is currently the youngest fighter in Overwatch. She fights alongside full-grown adults and war veterans. Naturally, she seems immature by comparison--though that's no excuse for being impudent--but even so, she doesn't seem phased at all by the age disparity between her and the other heroes. Widowmaker, one of the other characters in the game, calls her a child, to which D.Va responds, "Who are you calling a child?!" This shows that she wants to be seen as equal, and that her age does not equate to her combat capabilities.
She's not always sassy, however, and she does appear to have a fondness for her fans and those whom she idolizes. A great example of this is shown in one of her quotes, directed at Lúcio. Lúcio's a famous musician who's also a hero in Overwatch; when he asks Hana for her autograph, she replies with, "Only if I can get yours too! I love your new album!" She also says, "That one's for my fans!" upon getting a solo elimination in the game. The fact that Hana streams her combat operations speaks wonders of how much she adores her fans, because she's willing to keep her fans in the loop even while she's in the middle of battle.
It is also worth noting that Korean is most likely Hana's first language, though she is also proficient in English; she just has a little bit of an accent when she speaks it. She will interchange between the two languages on occasion. Although characters will only hear and see things in their language in Subnautica, the use of Korean, as well as her fearlessness when battling in her MEKA unit, show that Hana is proud of her nationality, and it is a big part of who she is.
ABILITIES:
Hana's only human, so she doesn't have any supernatural abilities. She does, however, have insane reflexes from all that gaming--which is also the reason why the South Korean government drafted her in the first place! She also pilots a mech, which won't be brought to the game; but in the case where Hana needs to operate a Seamoth or something similar, she'd be able to with a little training! The mech can do a variety of things, so I'll leave the Wiki link here in case anyone needs it. Furthermore, Hana also knows how to use a gun, as that is her primary weapon outside of her mech.
And of course, Hana's a complete monster at video games. She'll probably die without them tbh.
INVENTORY:
- Her light gun
- Her cellphone (mostly for gaming/potential selfies with friends!!!)
MEMORY ALTERATION: D.Va believes that MEKA stationed her at one of their newest underwater bases, set up in the East Sea, to research its environment. Apparently that base lead to a different planet entirely. Whoops?
SAMPLE:
Hana Song is well aware that war is not a game. But D.Va never loses, and losing is not an option, so Hana will treat it as such. Even if it means she doesn't get to go completely ham in her mech and make enemies grovel at her feet.
But it's still strange (and dumb) to her that MEKA gave her a non-combatant mission: to assist them in creating a habitable underwater base for navy operations. Why couldn't any of their science people do this instead? Hana doesn't belong doing background work. She belongs in the battlefield, getting kills and assists in the name of her country and her pride. URSULA doesn't have anything new for them; only that the crew's food supply is sufficient, yadda yadda, same as the other day.
"Whatever," she grumbles after the thought of another uneventful morning, back flat on her air mattress as she pulls her cellphone out from her pocket. She'll just play Lovely Live! for another two or three hours to pass the time, just like the day before; Wifi is her only saving grace here. To hell with watching fish and taking notes all day. She's not in school anymore; she doesn't need more biology lessons!
What she does need is a gaming console, and something other than a phone. A computer would be nice. Maybe one that could install League of Legions so she can reclaim her #1 spot again--she hasn't touched the game in a while--or maybe even something that could livestream her exciting underwater adventures. MEKA gave her that capability in her mech, why couldn't they do that here--
Hana entertains herself with these thoughts more than the game itself, because she'd cleared this song with a perfect score at least fifteen times and this game's getting old. The other players on this game, unlike those on StarCraft, don't put up a challenge at all. She hasn't had a routine this mundane since her pre-professional gamer days. Nothing exciting. Nothing new.
Except for the giant, monstrous shadow that passes overhead. That's definitely new. Or...at least interesting enough to get Hana to look up and away from her phone.
"Whoa," she gasps, slowly rising from her airbed, "what is that thing?"
The figure appears to be around nine feet long, its most distinguishable feature being the number of neon yellow pods dragging along behind it. Hana can make out an underbelly and a pair of...something that looks like flippers? She can't be sure. But she knows that this is, in fact, a creature that she hasn't seen before, and it's one much more magnificent than any of the other ones she's seen down here before. A monster straight out of a fantasy game in a world that's supposed to be pretend.
Hana had assumed that the other creatures were simply ones that she missed in biology class (because she hadn't paid any attention at all). Now, she's confident that beyond the boundaries of this place is something very, very exciting waiting for her. That creature's definitely a rare find, and she's going to log it down while she still can.
Gathering data on all the creatures here seemed like a boring side quest; but that thing's probably the most exciting thing here yet, and Hana never backs down from a challenge.
