Sojourn

Vivian Chase, aka Sojourn, is the major supporting character of the video game Overwatch 2. She was a member of Overwatch, joining at some point in the organization's Golden Age and staying with them into their twilight years. 
Sojourn has had a lot of cybernetic upgrades in her life, starting out of necessity in her childhood, before moving onto voluntary upgrades. Sojourn's legs and arms are cybernetic. Her left arm can transform into a disruptor cannon, and her legs are equipped with boosters that allow her to slide across the ground. At some point, she received cybernetic brain upgrades. Sojourn is at peace with her enhancements; for her, her cybernetics are a means to an end, but only the objective matters.
She is voiced by Cherise Boothe.
==Background==
Vivian Chase grew up in Toronto, and required cybernetic upgrades in her childhood. Later, she joined the Canadian military, where she voluntarily received cybernetic upgrades, choosing her abilities to be the most effective fighter she could be. She became a member of the Canadian Special Forces, where during the Omnic Crisis, her unit worked alongside Overwatch. She met Jack Morrison, and the two worked well together in the field. After the war was over, Morrison reached out to Chase for a chance to join Overwatch, to which she agreed.
== Story ==
=== Overwatch ===
As a member of Overwatch, Chase was given the callsign "Sojourn." Her duties involved "whatever was needed." Sometimes she ran point for agents in the field, other times, she commanded the operation. Sojourn made a point of always bringing her operatives home. Sojourn featured in the Overwatch cartoon that aired before the group was disbanded. In one episode, Sojourn led her fighters in a battle against Talon. Even though they were heavily outnumbered, Sojourn and her crew didn't rest until every Talon agent was eliminated.
=== Storm Rising ===
After Overwatch struggled to arrest Doomfist following the King's Row Uprising, Sojourn suggested to Strike-Commander Jack Morrison that the organization change tactics by instead arresting Doomfist's accountant, Maximilien. She soothed Jack's anxieties about sending the strike team out after an in-field incident with Reinhardt, and she believed that Jack would agree with her that Tracer has grown as a leader since the King's Row Uprising. She assigned Tracer to lead a strike team of Mercy, Winston, and Genji in the mission to track Maximilien. In the operation, she supported the team via radio, and they successfully apprehended Maximilien.
=== The End of Overwatch ===
After Morrison's apparent death at Overwatch HQ, Sojourn was made acting commander of the organization. She was later brought before the IJC to testify, where she detailed her service history. When Overwatch was shut down, Sojourn personally removed her belongings from a now empty Watchpoint: Gibraltar. While she was honored to have served with Overwatch, she knew "it was time to say goodbye," and left the base on a hovercycle. After Overwatch's disbandment, Sojourn laid low in Canada. She went back to Toronto, where she lived alongside her pet dog.
=== Recall ===
Years later, Sojourn was one of the group's former members recalled by Winston. She ended up rejoining the organization at some point after Null Sector's attack on Paris. She fought against Null Sector in Toronto, when the omnics besieged the city.
===The Hero of Numbani===
After expelling Talon from Numbani, Efi Oladele and Orisa met with Sojourn about what it meant to be a hero. Efi took Sojourn’s words to heart and used the experience to think out new upgrades for Orisa.
===Null Sector===
Sojourn was present in Toronto when it was attacked by Null Sector. Fighting in the streets, she rescued a group of humans and omnics that had come under attack by Null Sector's forces, when she reunited with members of the reformed Overwatch, including Reinhardt Wilhelm, Angela Ziegler, Cole Cassidy, and Winston. Alongside some of the Overwatch operatives, Sojourn fought her way through the streets in order to evacuate Toronto's remaining humans and omnics. During the battle, they came across an omnic named Claire Hopper, who assisted them by opening doors in the subway's maintenance areas. At some point afterwards, she rejoined Overwatch herself. They also rescued Reggie Buckworth, an omnic lawyer who had managed to hide from Null Sector.
== Personality ==
Sojourn is detail-orientated, as she has variety of skills to become a brilliant tactician, a great leader, and a "measure twice, cut once" type of individual. Likewise, she is known for her discipline. The short Calling shows her complicated opinion of Overwatch; on one hand, Sojourn chose to not pick up Winston's recall message to rejoin Overwatch, secretly pursuing local vigilante work in her home city, but otherwise keeping a low profile in agreement with the Petras Act. However, once Null Sector launches a full-scale invasion on Toronto (additionally leaving her to realize that all the hostile omnic behavior was Connected All Along), she throws all caution to the wind and immediately suits up, begins giving commands to escort civilians to safety, and leaps back into action.
== Abilities ==
Sojourn is a simple, but solid Damage hero focusing on precision mid-range combat and incredible mobility.
* Her primary weapon is the Railgun, which primarily functions as an accurate, rapid-fire machine gun that builds up energy from the damage it deals. Once charged up, she can alternatively fire single, high-impact blasts.
* Disruptor Shot creates a burst of energy that billows in a target area, gradually damaging enemies within its area of effect.
* Power Slide allows her to quickly dash along the ground, which she can cancel early into a high jump.
* Her ultimate, Overclock dramatically increases the charging rate of Railgun's secondary fire, allowing her to fire multiple piercing energy beams in quick succession.
