Description
THIS WAS INEVITABLE! <3 Ah well I love how it came out. I know I know on tumblr I posted a completely different version and was like "THIS IS IT!" but I designed this as an alternate and just liked it way more. It looks cleaner and more in touch with the game on top of I was able to figure out her story.

I would like to just say though I'm titling it "Overwatch Ref" because it's for the game "Overwatch" as she's actually a Talon agent. I know we're all shocked

Overview
The below information is what she would do in the game setting/her fighting style. Not her story/biography/etc etc

ROLE: Defense (though she is a "flanker" type hero)
-- Kani's abilities rely squarely on her ability to tell where the enemies are and close the gap before they can react. She's mainly a melee fighter and relies on strong kicks to knock the enemy down before finishing them off with a slash from her poisonous claws.

HEALTH:
She has 200 health

DIFFICULTY: 2/3 stars
WEAPONS/GEAR:
-- Lucky Rabbit's Feet: While she still possess her legs, she prefers to wear digigrade stilts which enhance her kicks and running speed drastically as well as taking a lot of strain off the body. They're practically spring loaded and allow her to jump great heights as well
-- Lucky Rabbit's Claw: The gauntlet attached to her non dominant hand. Once she's pinned down a foe/stunned them she'll start slashing at them with her poison laced claws to do extra damage.
-- Lapin: Her pistol, works almost exactly the same as D. Va's or Mercy's. Fires fast but is NOT a hit-scan type weapon. Is used for finishing off enemies that are running out of range or if she is low on health and is retreating while shooting. By no means her main mode of fire

ABILITIES:
-- Hop, Skip and a Jump: She passively can jump higher then the other heroes, however jumping up to 3 times in succession is her main movement ability and how she is able to get into other faces. (note the third jump is about as high as Winston's jump or a Junkrat jump using his mine. But not as high as anywhere Pharah can reach)
-- Within Earshot: Kani's main defense capability is her hearing. Not only is in general in game noise like footsteps, the other team talking, or shots are significantly louder while playing her. If a particularly loud thing happens (Widowmaker's fully charged shot going off. Junkrat's mine going off, Pharah's shots, etc etc) the player will get a on their screen alerting them to where the enemy is.
-- Poisoned Blood: Another passive. Due to her improvements (see below) her blood is /primarily/ poison. That means if she is shot or slashed. Anyone within melee range of here will got about 15 points of damage sapped from her for each blow she takes from getting blood splatter on them. If she's killed and you're in melee range it jumps to 30 points of damage to those in range.

ULTIMATE ABILITY:
-- Warren: Kani's ult gets more powerful the more of her allies that are around her. An AoE slightly wider then Reaper's Death Blossom, she'll hop from one enemy to the next in a quick fashion that deals more damage depending on who all is around her
**By herself: She will deal no damage but will stun everyone in the area for 10 seconds
**One-Two Teammates: She will take about half the life of everyone in the area and stun them for 5 seconds
**Three teammates: She will lower all enemies to one square of health and will knock them all backwards
**Four + Teammates: She'll kill anyone within the AoE
NOTE: She can be interrupted while the ult is happening! you just have to look up as she quite literally "bounces" from one enemies head to the next.

PLAY STYLE:
Kani while not a super easy hero to play, isn't entirely hard either. For her to do damage she has to be in the thick of it and not standing back shooting, it is recommended to user her on capture points and "king of the hill" maps as she's good at quickly clearing areas and holding certain spots. For her to absolutely flourish though she must be on a team that works together and be a team players. Since whoever is playing her has the ability to call out where (most) enemies are as well as for her ult to do anything devastating she needs her team around.

COUNTERS:
Who she counters: Anyone who needs to get close to her to do damage, i.e. Genji, Symmetra, Winston, McCree (A flash bang/fan the hammer on her is more or less announcing "If I'm going down, you are too") as well as particularly loud characters, i.e. Widowmaker and Junkrat
Who counters her: Anyone long ranged or can more or less take her out in one shot, Hanzo, Widowmaker, Reaper, Soldier 76, and Roadhog
(Clearly it's a tossup of who finds who first with Widowmaker, ah well. It kinda fits her lore)

STORY
The below information is all lore and the story behind her character and motivations

Full Name: MeKani Tsakirslynn
Age: 27
Occupation: Sentry/Mercenary
Base of Opperations: Seattle, Washington (USA)
Affiliation: Talon

"Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit."

Kani was never one to pick sides, she just did whatever she was paid to do.
When it started. She just learned to fight to get out of them, but eventually was able to sharpen her skills and set herself up as a merc for hire. However, she never killed. She enjoyed the fun of the fight and would only engage in fair ones, her name spread fast and came under the watch of the organization Talon. Interested in her skill set they would send her anonymous jobs that paid well. Slowly giving her harder and harder "tests" to see just how far she would go
Her final test was to take the life of someone, with a payment that was too good to pass up. Her greed was too much and she excelled, killing the nameless goon and expecting that to be the end of it

It clearly wasn't as Talon abducted her not a day after she got her pay and began melding her into another weapon for them to use. In the process she attempted to fight back and was not able to be subdued as well as their past experiment, forcing their hand in muzzling her.
They outfitted her with better gear to help with her brawling style, however in keeping it sleek and fast they had to give up some power behind the swing. They made up that loss of damage by poisoning her main weapon. Though since the thing was coated as well as constantly being fed poison, it was risky for Kani to be exposed to it for long periods of time without getting hurt herself. The fix to this was to slowly introduce her body to the poison, speeding the process up though they replaced half her blood with the concoction. The side affect of this giving her the glowing green freckles she sports today.
The pain they put her under has the opposite effect they wanted, instead of subduing her into shock and having her more or less blindly follow orders, it manifested into rage and bloodlust, making her quite happy to kill others, a scary contrast to her usual cheerful disposition.

They kept her on a tight leash but eventually she ran through her use of being just another killing machine. Around this time their prized sniper had been coming under fire, making her shots of course but Overwatch kept interfering and slowing the process considerably and making it messy. Kani now being given to match her muzzle, a second pair of ears so she could listen for and detect enemies, assigning her to be a sentry for different Talon operatives. But mostly paired in watching Widowmaker's back, making sure to get to Tracer (or any other agent) before they could get to her.
