## Personality & Description

### Personality

Borya is a stern, hulking brute of a man, with one mechanical arm, a thick Slavic accent, and a distrust of Volskaya Industries and its allies. He enjoys being around omnics, as he has more metal than flesh. He dislikes both Zarya and Volskaya Industries, for their distrust of omnics.

### Description

Borya is a brutish man, at least 7 ft tall, with the muscle mass to match. His right hand and forearm is replaced by a mechanical prosthetic, with visible pneumatic actuators in the forearm, fingers, and wrist. His lower body is covered by a powerful pneumatic-enhanced suit that covers his legs, crotch, and stomach. A gas mask covers his moth and nose, with three filters situated in a triangle.

## Backstory

War is a horrific thing, a thing that happens again and again, never ceasing, because people forget the horrors of the past. Borya is not one of those who forget the horrors of war, for he lived the war that people forget. Borya is the hero, permanently crippled and forgotten.

Borya Osoweic is a man, first and foremost. He fought in the Cabal War, when a section of the Russian military, now known as the Cabal, went rogue and sieged Moscow.

They did this because they learned that Ms. Volskaya was gaining technology from the oppressed Omnic Population, and was enraged by the dealings. Borya was one of the Cabal, with one seperation; he wanted to free the Omnics from their oppression, for he was dumped by his parents, and an omnic couple brought him up.

During the Cabal War, Borya and his adopted parents were captured, taken to a testing facility, and exposed to an experimental gas called “Electric Smoke”, that was made by Volskaya Industries to control riots, for 2 hours. Both of his parents suffered incredible motor damage, and were unable to do complex motor functions for a few days. Borya survived the exposure, and managed to escape the facility, parents in arms. When he returned home, his body began to ache, and the pain only increased as the hours went by. He laid himself to bed, where he stayed for up to 3 months.

For 3 straight months, his body was wracked with both physical and psychological pain, as his body grew in both muscle size and bone density, due to his exposure to the “Electric Smoke”. His lungs and mind were both horrifically damaged by the exposure, and he could barely think for days, bedridden and in constant pain.

When the pain finally stopped, he was comparable to Aleksandra Zaryanova, but he gained her amount of muscle in 3 months, instead of years of exercise. His right forearm bone fractured into pieces, due to the sheer stress of the growth, which he replaced with a prosthetic. His lungs were in degraded pieces, which he coughed up, along with blood and phlegm, requiring prosthetic lungs just to breathe, along with a self-cleaning filter in his windpipe.

In a few years, he opened the Osoweic Omnic Sanctuary, gained from money made by offering his services as a Bodyguard and Escort. The Omnic Sanctuary is a place where Omnics and humans are treated as equals, neither getting special treatment over the other. If anyone, beit Omnic or Human, be bullied or injured by another, Borya himself will step in.

When he heard about Overwatch's recall, he joined in, hoping to bring the innocence of the omnic population to light.
