CHARACTER INFO
Character: Sombra (Given name: Olivia Colomar)
Canon: Overwatch 2
Age: 32
Background Information: Wiki Magic
Personality:
1) Tell us about who your character is and what someone’s first impression would be upon meeting them.
Sombra comes off as sneaky and immature, though she can also be threatening to varying degrees depending on how dangerous she wants to appear. She is without fail, overly familiar with everyone and doesn’t seem to care if being so casual irritates people (in fact, she seems to enjoy annoying people). Her easygoing persona is exactly that - a persona. She is an orphan of the omnic crisis and since early childhood has been honing her talent at manipulating people and hacking computers. She gained such proficiency that she was discovered by what she believes is a conspiracy and abandoned her old identity for safety. Later she re-emerged as a hacker called Sombra. For a fair amount of time, she has run with a gang called Los Muertos. At some point, she was recruited by Talon, a known criminal organization and while she happily works for them, she also works towards personal goals.
She has helped Baptiste, a former Talon agent, leave the organization, as well as keeping knowledge of presumed-dead enemies of Talon, Ana Amari and Jack Morrison, to herself.
2) What is a driving force your character has? What goals do they have, what motivates them, etc?
Sombra is convinced that a grand conspiracy that goes to the highest echelons of corporations like Vishkar Corp, governments like her home in Dorado, and organizations like Talon exists. An interaction with them early on in her adulthood prompted her to adopt the moniker ‘Sombra’ and likely colored her decision to work for Talon - her only goal is to seemly be on the winning side of any given interaction and so long as she has the upper hand in her dealings, she’s happy. It's implied that she wants to unravel the conspiracy that she discovered, but it is unknown how much progress she’s made with this particular goal.
3) What are their flaws as a character? What is something they've messed up, or have done that they regret?
Sombra is over-confident, manipulative, and smug. While she is most certainly smarter than most people give her credit for, she is not nearly as smart as she thinks she is. Two of her superiors, Doomfist and Reaper, both know that she is prone to self-serving extra-curricular activity while working for Talon but don’t seem to be concerned. She has also had her civilian identity discovered by an enemy agent named Zarya, because she did not bother changing her base of operations from her hometown, Dorado.
4) Optional: What is something unique and interesting about them, or what is a fun little tidbit that sets them apart from the crowd? For all of her scheming, Sombra is hailed as a hero in her hometown.
Abilities:
(I imagine these will not work as they require a certain level of tech, save the machine pistol.)
Hacking - Generally used in a disabling fashion, she has hacked mechanized doors, robots, traffic signals up to (and including) high-tech prosthetics. Hacked individuals lose access to their abilities for a short amount of time, roughly 3-5 seconds, and take increased damage from other her abilities and her weapon. Basically, if it is at least partially a computer, Sombra can hack it.

ARMADA SELECTION
Sombra could fit in Either organization! While her opportunistic tendencies would make her a pretty neat fit as a Corsair, her methods mostly involve the use and abuse of information. she ultimately has her own rules that she follows and regardless of which organization she ends up in, she will be acting in her interests first.

Questions:
Would I be able to put the work in for some magic alternatives to her current abilities?
