Zaag

-Zaag when using his ultimate

## Overview

Zaag is a close combat combatant which uses his powerful melee attacks to defeat enemies before they can defeat him. This agressive behavious can end in getting killed if not handled properly.

He is a cyborg which was kidnapped by the god KI in the Netherlands and became something not quite human. He overcame his hatred towards the god KI with time and now fights to protect the innocent and his friends.

## Abilities

Arm gun (standard attack): Zaag retracts his right arm and ejects a gun which can do rapid fire. It is useful at middle distance but deals rather weak damage.

Arm change (right click): Zaag retracts his gun and ejects a chainsaw. Instead of shooting he will now hit with his chainsaw in a melee attack. He can hit all 0.3 seconds and on top of that he deals enormous damage. If left alone for a few seconds he can take down nearly anyone.

Chainsaw dash (ability one): Zaag charges forward in a quick flash. He cannot be wounded meanwhile and deals damage to people he touches.

Power output (ability two): Channel extra energy into the chainsaw and make one big swing around you. You deal a large amount of damage to all enemies in your range.

Ultimate Adrenaline Pump: Put your adrenaline pump on full output and go crazy. You heal yourself and deal increased damage and take less damage. This phase will not last log so go and kill whatever you can.

Passive Anger adrenaline: When his health is low he deals more damage.

## Personality

Zaag is a serious person who always puts the mission first. The only exceptions are when his allies are hurt.

He is also rather snippy and makes remarks to insult his enemies, this also shows his sarcastic side. This leads to him being thought of not being serious.

He also shows great empathy to people who are not comfortable with what they are. He himself reacts very angry to people who insult omnics or cyborgs.

He seems to be slightly insecure about interacting with others. This is shown when he talks to Genji and Genji asks him why he rarely talks to people.

He has a great admiration for the Omnic monks seeing how they decided what they were and did not care about what other people think.

He is shown to be clever and notices problems and the feelings of others. He picks up on things fast and knows what bothers people. He is also rather sensitive and won’t pick on people when they feel sad.

He seems to be a bit of an adrenaline junkie since he always jumps into the battle at the front line. He is shown to have little care for his body which is not surprised since he heals very fast. He loves to feel the rush of his blood which might be because his adrenaline pump isn’t working perfectly.

While it is hard for him to interact with new people he has a deep connection to those he’s already friends with.

## History

Not much is known about Zaags background but he is definitely Dutch since he speaks it as if it was his mother tongue. He lived most likely in Utrecht. Then when he was just a little child he was kidnapped by Omnics sent by a god KI which hid inside of the Amerongse Berg. Then the god KI experimented on his body. He became a cyborg and got turned into something most people would describe as a monster. During this time even his metabolism and his human biology got changed. During this time apparently the god KI implanted knowledge about biology technology and cybernetics into his brain. Then one day Zaag learned enough about how he worked. He broke through the digital restraints and shut down the god KI by using the codes that were used to experiment on him. After that he left and wandered around for a long time.

Everyone considered him a monster and the changes that were made on his body resulted in him going crazy and killing many people on several occasions. He attempted to kill himself several times but due to the high regenerative powers of his new body he failed every time. After stealing lab equipment he realized that the adrenaline level in his blood was far to high. He managed to steal parts to build the prototype of his “Adrenaline pump”

Since he attracted a lot of attention Overwatch inevitably found him and captured him. At first they simply locked him up but Reyes quickly realized his potential. He offered him to join Blackwatch and since Zaag didn’t want to be locked up any longer he accepted. He performed actions which could be argued as unethical and he never cared about it. During this he was also asked to assist on cybernetic research. He received a project together with Angela Ziegler. They needed to save the life of Genji Shimada. While Angela saved his life he built the cybernetics which made it possible for him to walk again. During this he developed a friendship with not only Angela but also Genji. During this he became the leading figure on cybernetics in Overwatch while te rest of the world knew nothing of him. He performed further Blackwatch missions and continued to built more cybernetics, one of his constant projects was to develop a better body for Genji, one in that he would feel natural. Not long after Genji left Blackwatch Zaag did the same. He continued to take missions for Overwatch until it disbanded.

Then he decided to search for his origins. He went to the town close to the god KI, Utrecht. There he, after disguising himself, lived under the radar. He searched for his true identity. It is unclear if he found out who he truly was but during this time he got over his hate for the god KI and his disgust for his menta state.

Upon hearing Winstons recall he decided to travel to join back up with his original team.

## Appearances

He is a lean man about Genjis size. He wears a loose pair of grey pants with no shoes or T-shirts. He has unkempt dark-brown hair and blue eyes. Both his arms are cybernetic. In the case of his right arm only the arm is cybernetic, but the shoulder is still flesh. In the case of the left even the shoulder is mechanic. His right leg is still flesh while his right leg is mechanic. His left arm bears no separations, but his right arm has a ring slightly underneath the elbow. There he is capable of changing his arm into other tools. The left part of his face above his mouth is also mechanic with a red round robotic eye.
