Affiliation:


None


Personality:


While not much is known about Bastion's personality, it's clear that it displays consideration and curiosity towards the natural world and its creatures, as opposed to its fellow units which were determined to attack every human in sight during the Omnic Crisis. As an omnic, Bastion prefers non-populated areas due to people that may see it as a threat. Thoroughly, Bastion is shown to be a gentle and harmless robot that also possesses some fondness for Ganymede.


As tender as it may be, Bastion still retains its core combat programming that is capable of effectively turning it into a mindless killing machine from the former days. The programming will take over its processor and aim to eliminate any threat whenever Bastion comes in contact with anything relating to the Crisis, or hears any sounds that may indicate a threat nearby.


Biography:


Once a frontline combatant in the devastating Omnic Crisis, this curious Bastion unit now explores the world, fascinated by nature but wary of a fearful humanity.


Originally created for peacekeeping purposes, Bastion robot units possessed the unique ability to rapidly reconfigure themselves into an assault-cannon mode. But during the Omnic Crisis, they were turned against their human makers, forming the bulk of the Omnics' rebel army. Following the resolution of the crisis, nearly all of them were destroyed or disassembled. To this day, Bastion units still symbolize the horrors of the conflict.


One unique Bastion unit, severely damaged in the final battles of the war, was left forgotten for over a decade. It lay dormant, exposed to the elements and rusting while nature slowly reclaimed it. Overgrown with vines and roots and nested upon by small animals, the robot sat inert, seemingly unaware of the passing of time. That was until one fateful day, when it unexpectedly reactivated. With its combat programming all but lost, it instead displayed an intense curiosity about the natural world and its inhabitants. This inquisitive Bastion unit set out to explore its surroundings and discover its purpose on a war-ravaged planet.




Abilities and Weapons:


Configuration: Recon - Configuration: Recon is Bastion's basic configuration, allowing it to move freely and fire a submachine gun to deal reasonable damage. Bastion can use this mode when scouting out good spots to switch to Configuration: Sentry.


 


 


Configuration: Sentry - Configuration: Sentry is Bastion's stationary configuration, transforming it into a fixed position powerhouse, capable of dealing strong damage within the area. It is ideal for defending specific areas, and setting up deadly ambushes and crossfire in enclosed spaces.


 


Reconfigure - Bastion transforms between its two primary combat modes to adapt to battlefield conditions.


 


Self-Repair - Bastion transforms into a tank for several seconds, replacing its weapon with a cannon that fires explosive projectiles and gaining increased maximum health for the duration. On activation, Bastion also gains armor equal to its max health increase.


 


Extra:


Bastion is 30 years old
