Personality:

(+) Loyalty: There is arguably not much 'good' in Odessa Stone, she's rough and she's violent and has been taught by a bad world to be worse, but what she does have is what Australians called 'mateship'. Or easier said: a sense of loyalty to the people on her side and that she takes those bonds seriously. Loyalty to her cause of fighting for Junkertown, loyalty to those that stand beside her. It is in fact, ultimately, what won her the throne of Junkertown in the Reckoning. Simply stating what she has that Mason Howl never did: She would never shoot her friends in the back. It isn't much, but it has real currency in the hellscape of war-torn Apocolypse Australia that she bet and won on, and has apparently, never backed down from, in all her years of ruling. Part of her hatred of Mason Howl isn't just that he threw her entire family out into the desert to die, but that she seems to have deliberately ripped all his badges of military service - service he shared with her father - off of his chest, that she seems to carry that sense of betrayal and it's consequences deeply, and what she, in turn, has used to define herself apart from Howl, even if obviously she is comfortable with violence just the same as any other Junkers. At times, her dedication to keeping her word to back up her friends, or at least be an ally, even leans to her own type of pragmatism. Taking care of her own might mean putting aside her own feelings for the sake of working together and getting it done, and making sure no one gets left behind.

(-) Ravenous: Odessa might be a Queen, but she has more in common with a conquering Warlord of the old world, than a refined noblewoman sitting in a big chair. She has a need to have more, which seems to consume her and naturally, everything around her. It's more than simple greed, greed would be sated by the literal treasure room with a mountain of gold inside of it. No, Odessa looks at the world and decides it should be hers. Quite literally, when you look at earth from the lunar base, she has a line where she states the earth is "her entire realm". Everything is hers because she says it is, everything is a competition, to be more. It drives her, fuels her, and what's worse is she seems to be good at it, that charisma and joking and general cocksure arrogant stupidity sometimes, due to lack of education mostly, hides the depth of it, but she seems to have united and brought many, many factions of the Wasteland under her control. Allying with them, putting down opposing leaders, or putting people in place that will work with her, on top of routinely defending her title for ten years every few seasons or so, in the arena ring. She's curious, hungry and driven - to have it all. Mistaking her as just violent and demanding will get you killed, she might not be smart, but she has the cunning patience of a crocodile who can temper herself to wait as long as she needs to, to strike, and then it will drag what she wants down into her clutches, into her domain. Everywhere is a battleground, everything is to be conquered, and she will have every last part. This hunger makes her impulsive and vain, prone to competition, indeed she sees everything all the time, as a chance to show off how damn good she is, and she doesn't do it to be unchallenged, no, she's always looking for the next fight and prove herself again.

(-) Mean & Aggressive / Bullying: Odessa in a general sense, falls into what Australians would say is 'a bit mouthy' and everyone else cringes and desperately wants to stop talking (or is dying in laughter because oh my god did she really just say that out loud?) because she is damn mean at the best of times. Some of it is cultural. She is Australian, which whilst Blizzard can't put even half of it into a video game (how can one group of people find a friendly way to call people cunts? no one knows but they do it), Aussies are renowned for swearing and saying the bluntest insults as the highest praise until no one can tell if they're being genuine or mocking you. Which she shows in spades. That version comes up in her casual questions that are direct if not affronting sometimes because she doesn't mean to be mean but social manners weren't a high priority in the Wastelands & Junkertown. She asks it with genuine curiosity - but has the tact of a wooden plank to the face. Sometimes, she is doing it to deflect, she is able to hide things close to her chest, and whilst she's not exactly a top-notch subterfuge expert, if you're too busy just noticing how loud and brash she is, questioning if she's just a dumb ass (which honestly, sometimes: yes she is), or being offended, you can't see what she's up to otherwise. Other times she is just downright cruel, in action and word, and takes what she wants and she does it without apology. She openly critiques Soldier 76 and his running of Overwatch by telling him she 'could have run Overwatch much better than [him]' by 'catching all the bad guys and cutting their heads off'. She is mean to be mean because sometimes, she just enjoys making people hurt, and thinks it's funny. Trouble is of course, hard to tell from the outside just which one she's being, and whether it's a genuine lack of social skills, or she wants you to cry. For her, though, she doesn't mind which way it goes. (There is softness under there and sometimes she feels a bit guilty about having to put up such a cruel front, but expressing otherwise is done only behind closed doors otherwise she might be perceived as 'soft'.) But if you cry just because she asked a tactless question? She'll probably just laugh at you. Even if she believes in teamwork and standing by her own, she sees no need to change that pattern of behaviour.

(-) Temper, cruelty, and love of violence: Odessa has a short temper. A bad one. One that is made worse by being a 7ft tall gladiatorial ruler who veers into tyrannical when she gets pissed off, as her leading style. Who has learned she can get what she wants if she breaks what's in front of her and doesn't suffer fools well. Part of that is what leading Junkertown has done to her, where she laments the difficulty in ruling killers and madmen, who escalate themselves frequently, and she often has to jump the gun. Worse than that, truth be told, where it's more than just her being mean and from a very different root, she lives for the violence, she revels in the cruelty and the fear when her temper is up. Threatening death to get what she wants, and if not that, pain enough to make you want it. She is liable to snap when pressed the wrong way, and escalate it to her favourite field - a physical confrontation. Thinking through her rage, and thinking clearly, isn't necessarily her strong suit. But sometimes it's much, much deeper, when she hates, she punishes, more than just snapping at someone. The grudge and consideration she had in deposing Howl was more than just killing him, she wanted him to suffer like her family suffered.

Powers and Abilities:
Height & Strength & Speed - Odessa Stone is 7ft/2m tall and built like a damn wall. Naturally, that comes with an expected strength and speed when her steps are just long and her limbs are just longer, and she has doubled down on that with a powerlifters strength and training to build up her strength to be the peak it can, capable of smashing bulletproof glass with her axe, and so on. In general, there is said to be some kind of mutation by all the radiation given it seems the general population of Junkers are all now bigger than average people that she CLEARLY has, but she specifically doesn't seem to be as phased by pain necessarily. Blizzard is never going to explain, so I just put it down to a generalised dulling of her pain receptors that she still feels things, but just, lesser injuries don't slow her down like others. She's able to get body-checked into a wall by a whole mech suit directly, and just shake it off two seconds later. So she's just.... sturdy and able to take a hell of a beating.

Magnetic Bracer - Odessa has an electromagnetic bracer that can pick up metal and call it to her when done generally this can be any piece of metal in a 1-2m radius around her, or she can aim for things specifically (she's shown to pick up tin roofing to give herself a shield for instance). But she also has it linked very specifically (somehow, again, Blizz will never explain...) to her two primary weapons, Gracie and Carnage. But it's shown when she chooses to, pick up all bits of metal around her in a 1-2m radius, that she can make into a huge whirlwind (sorry for dumb video game powers...)

Magnetic Whirlwind: Assuming it works by some kind of magnetic counter propulsion, she can generate a huge whirlwind of flying metal, and usually, her axe in there as well, that she can throw in front of her to push back her enemies, or, throw behind her to toss herself forward over short distances at high speed, granting her the ability to "fling" herself in a huge jump. Getting caught in it, obviously, hurts a lot as you run the risk of getting hit by a flying axe or metal shrapnel.

Gracie & Carnage recall: Gracie is her bowie knife, and Carnage is her huge two-handed axe, again, both made out of scrap metal. These both seem to be specifically linked to her bracer that she can individually call to her over medium, range distances with ease, additionally, when thrown with her bracer in conjunction, she can fling them even with high accuracy and force into targets.

Scrap Engineering/her Shotgun - new bullets and guns aren't available in the wasteland with much ease, and most people seem to have adapted their own form of weapons and tools, including making their own guns and bullets. In Odessa's case, she has a shotgun that has 'slug canisters' that seem to be made from something explosive and shards of metal crammed into it. It's crude, but it means as long as she's got access to the appropriate sort of trash, she can make herself new bullets as needed, and repair her own gun.
