Info!
NAME: Reinhardt Wilhelm
CANON: Overwatch
CANON POINT: After the events of Dragon Slayer, and receiving the call to return to Overwatch
AGE: 61
BACKGROUND: Here!
PERSONALITY: As a person, everything about Reinhardt is bigger than life, from his stature to his very personality. He is big, loud, large and in charge. He has not only been Overwatch's biggest advocate and loudest support, but it's biggest critic as well, having high expectations of its purpose, and always ready to remind it's heroes that this is what they are: heroes. He's a very, very energetic man, always at the forefront of every fight with his shield and hammer, ready to defend and protect his team, and their cause, prepared to take about a dozen, actual bullets for those he calls friends.
One might imagine that Reinhardt would then be just as a intimidating person off the field as well, just as battle and success driven. It's... sort of true. Reinhardt is your typical Type A personality with one exception: He is the kindest, gentlest man you might ever meet. He is fiercely loyal to his team, and has a deep and profound love of Overwatch and everyone in it. He had incredible and powerful respect for both Jack and Gabriel, and gave the eulogy at Jack's funeral, calling the then assumed dead captain the moral compass of Overwatch, an inspiration, and a friend. He is dedicated to success in everything, and this includes being a good, reliable, and understanding companion. Close to Torbjorn, he's an honorary member of his family as well, and while most other members of Overwatch might find Reinhardt to be loud, obnoxious, stubborn and occasionally pushy, all would agree he's by far the member with the biggest heart. This isn't difficult to see, considering the sacrifices he's more than willing to make for the people he loves. It was after all, thanks to Reinhardt that Torbjorn only lost an arm during Operation White Dome, and during the engineer's stay in the hospital, Reinhardt spent most of his time there at his bedside.
He's a man who is constantly in motion too, unable to actually remain still for any point in time, always needing to be doing something, whether it be exercise, battle, some form of sport. He must always be in motion, or else he gets bored, and a bored Reinhardt is something that just shouldn't happen. He even has more bounce and energy than some of the younger members of Overwatch, and it's not surprising that many of them might find him tiring. Even at the age of sixty one, he can't even stay in a single town for that long, preferring to live life on the road with his goddaughter. There is an ongoing joke with Reinhardt, that the man doesn't actually know how to shut up. Torbjorn even ended up telling Reinhardt that if the crusader could manage to shut up for a while, he'd be allowed to name the engineer's newest daughter. He must have been able to accomplish this, since he did, in fact get to give Brigitte her name, and was named as the baby's godfather. Of course, this being Reinhardt, he deeply loves Brigitte as well and their current relationship is as close as any blood relative's might be.
That being said, he's not a man without a few hangups. Upset that he had been forced to retire from Overwatch, he feels a deep sense of guilt that he was not there to help it when it reached it's final, scandalous days. It does seem like he holds no ill will towards the organization itself in spite of this, answering the call to return with only a few minutes of hesitation. He feels a little like the last of a dying breed, as everyone he once knew and loved has seemingly passed away, from Jack Morrison to Gabriel Reyes to Ana Amari. He styles himself as a kind of knight of old, a German Don Quixote, if one will, and before he answered the call to return to Overwatch he had dedicated himself to defending justice across the world, donning his Crusader armor again. He's a man of high ideals and deep morals, who has an expectation of himself that he always drives himself to, a reason to wake up every day and greet the morning, no matter what the previous day might have been. No doubt he fully intends to keep moving, keep traveling and keep fighting until the day he dies. After all, it is the Crusader Oath, to live with honor, and die with glory.
POWERS/ABILITIES: Powers and abilities here!
None of these are actually super powers, but rather the utilization of technology. Reinhardt otherwise is a very big, very fit man in peak physical condition.
INVENTORY: Crusader Armor
Rocket hammer
