Midnight/Worldsoul

## Background:

Midnight, real name Alyssa Morrison was an orphan from a young age. Picked up by Jack Morrison while the omnic crisis was in full swing, Alyssa quickly grew attached to not only Jack, but the rest of the strike team. Growing up, she always strived to emulate their efforts and follow in their footsteps. She joined Overwatch as soon as she turned 18, and quickly rose through the ranks to Deputy Strike Leader. During a routine raid, Disaster struck. With most of her team dead, Alyssa forced her last subordinate to flee the scene while she distracted TALON. She struggled against the hundreds of men sent against her for two days and three nights, until she collapsed from exhaustion. After she was captured, she was tortured night and day, rendered into a catatonic state. Just before she was rescued by a combined force of six strike teams lead by the original six members of Overwatch, she slipped into a coma caused by extensive damage to her brain and heart. When she was rescued, it was determined that she would never wake up. Dr. Angela Zeigler decided to try her hardest to save her. Even when Overwatch fell, Mercy worked to find a way to return Alyssa Morrison to the waking world. Eventually, Mercy discovered that a specific combination of the Super Soldier Serum injected into Jack Morrison and some of her specialized nanobots could repair the damage to Alyssa’s body, allowing her to wake up. Alyssa then took up her old rifle, and now searches for her father, determined to reunite.

## Equipment:
