Overwatch AU

Overwatch AU is a AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Hiccup, Merida, Rapunzel and Jack Frost are placed in the world of Overwatch. This can be considered a sub-scenario of Superhero AU, Arcade AU and Sci-Fi AU.

About this AU
Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Big Four, and other such characters in the fandom, as characters from the first-person shooter video game Overwatch. As well as placing them in its futuristic world of past and current conflicts.

The Omnics, artificial intelligence robots and the other kinds of robots that exist in the world of Overwatch, can have this AU an alternative to Robot AU. While the countless wars and crime ways that stared and ended Overwatch, could also have it as an alternative with War AU.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Fans have cast Hiccup as Hanzo, for his bond and connection with dragons, has some archery skills (due to his shield's crossbow mode) and with fans making Toothless the dragon tattoo on his arm. Hiccup is sometimes seen as Junkret, because of his prosthetic leg and having a weapon of fire. Fans also see him as Genji, as the two have made sacrifices, have a connection with dragons and with fans seeing his flightsuit (or his dragon scale armour) and helmet-like mask as Genji's cyborg-armored body.

Jack Frost
Jack's ice powers and being part of a group that protects people, he can be cast as a male Mei or a recent recruit to the re-recruited group; where his ice powers are due to artificial "enhancement" or using technology that gives him the allusion of having powers. He can also be portrayed Jack Morrison (A.K.A. Soldier: 76), due to their color scheme and the fact they are both presumed dead. Fans have also cast him as Brian with Jamie as Timmy, the brothers from the Cinematic Trailer for the game.

Merida DunBroch
Because of Merida's archery skills, being an older sibling, harming a member of her family and is familiar with a story that teaches people, she is seen as a female Hanzo. The dragon tattoo on her arm can be of Toothless - for the Mericcup pairing and the How to Be Brave crossover - or as the dragon that she is partnered up with in the Viking AU. Some fans, however, switch Hanzo's dragon theme with a bear theme, so the role can better suit Merida and the themes from Brave.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel's healing ability in her blond hair has cast her as Mercy, fans have also portrayed her as Tracer and Widowmaker.

Big Hero 6
Because of their goal and task that they set themselves to keep the people of San Fransokyo - so they can honor their friend's wish of helping people - and the armor suits that they wear, they are seen as members of Overwatch. Portrayed as original members or as six resent additions to the re-recruited group, that posses their own skills, armor and weapons. The six icons/crests that the team are given in Big Hero 6: The Series, can be used as their Overwatch player, move or character icons.

When they are portrayed as characters from the game, Hiro is seen as a male D.Va, with Baymax as his MEKA mech. Along with Honey Lemon being portrayed as Mercy, GoGo's has as Tracer, Wasabi is seen as Lúcio and fans have Fred cast as Junkrat.

The team could even be a small group of nerds, with a human caring omnic, that were inspired by Overwatch to become the defenders of San Fransokyo. So they could protect their home and it's people from war seeking omnics, and other threats. As the Overwatch universe has many teams and groups that protect their side of the world, before and after Overwatch was disbanded.

Baymax
Baymax is commonly seen as D.Va's MEKA mech, for when Hiro is a young, male version of its pilot. Baymax can also be placed as one of the robotic/Omnic characters, like Zenyatta, Bastion or a male Orisa (which could have Hiro as a male Efi Oladele). Fans also have Baymax as Wrecking Ball's hamster ball tank, while Mochi is a cat version of Hammond, for fun. As for human characters, that fans cast Baymax as, are robotic/Omnic versions of Mercy, Genji (as he is a cyborg) and Roadhog.

The style of Baymax's 2.0 armor could even have fans viewing a human version of Baymax as a member of the Crusaders. As their battlefield armor and helmets are a bit like Baymax's, along with one of Reinhardt's armor "skins" being a red color; that fans use to connect the two characters. As well as fans seeing it as a fun reason to recreate Baymax's 2.0 hero suit as the knight-like armor, that the Crusaders wear in battle.

Hiro Hamada
Hiro is commonly seen as a male, younger version of Hana Song (A.K.A. D.Va), when Baymax is placed as his MEKA drone-mech suit. While Hiro and Baymax's friendship and Hiro upgrading Baymax, with a second way that he can use to help people, could have him as a male Efi Oladele. For when Baymax is cast as Orisa. Fans also have him as a younger version of Genji, when Tadashi is Hanzo, or have Hiro as Hanzo while Tadashi is Genji, as fans view the Hamada brothers as the Shimada brothers.

Fred
Fred is commonly seen as Junkrat, because of the fire power of his Fredzilla suit. While using the power and abilities of his suit, could have him as a member of MEKA (Mobile Exo-Force of the Korean Army) or of the Crusaders, as they both wear power-equip suites in battle.

Honey Lemon
Honey Lemon is commonly seen as Mercy, due to both characters having blond hair. While her personality has her as Mei, with a drone version of her Chem-purse as Mei's assistant drone, Snowball. Fans have also cast her as Symmetra.

Queen Elsa
Because of Elsa's ice powers and having a small, unhuman friend, fans see her as Mei; with Olaf or one of the Snowgies as Mei's assistant drone, Snowball. Elsa has also been cast as Mercy, Widowmaker, Ana and Sombra.

Princess Anna
Anna is commonly cast as the young, spunky and fastest member of Overwatch, Tracer. Along with the role of Ana, due to their names despite Anna Arendelle having two "Ns" in hers while Ana Amari only has one.

Pitch Black
Pitch's powers and dark appearance can easily portray him as Reaper. As both characters have been separated from their families.

Flynn Rider
Flynn is commonly portrayed as McCree. As they're both outlaws (even though Eugene is no longer one) and have spent time with a bad crowd. Fans have also cast him as a male Tracer.

Dagur the Deranged

Heather
Due to Heather's history with her birth family, has a connection with dragons, having armor as part of her clothing and was able to forgive her brother, she is seen as a female Genji, while Dagur is Hanzo.

Beetle
Since Beetle's human self looks very similar to one of the Overwatch characters, that has similar hair style to his, is an archer and has the same name as him, it easily portrays him as Hanzo. Overwatch Hanzo's dragon theme can be switched with a beetle theme, so the role can better suit Kubo and the Two Strings Hanzo and his Beetle self-form.

Vanellope von Schweetz
Vanellope can be portrayed as a younger version of Tracer, or have an older version of Vanellope for the role. As the Sugar Rush Princess's glitching ability is a bit like Lena Oxton's (Tracer's true name) blink ability. That teleporting-like ability and traveling to the physical-world within the internet, could even have her as Sombra. While being a girl that resides in an arcade game and game jumps to a few others, can portray her as the former gamer and famous member of MEKA, D.Va/Hanna Song, with a drone-mech version of her Sugar Rush Go-Kart as the MEKA mech that she uses to protect the people and their city.

Yokai
Because of his dark clothing and wearing a mask, it can easily have fans view and portray Yokai as Reaper.

Rhino
Being a hamster that loves action, from watching the Bolt TV show, and had spent a lot of time in his ball, Rhino can be cast as Hammond, also known as Wrecking Ball. Due to his hamster ball-like tank, that serves as both his shield and weapon. The short, Super Rhino, could even have Rhino as one of the animal experiments that were one the Horizon Lunar Colony, that had gained his powers and human-like intelligence from the experiments. Like the ones that were done to Hammond.

Bolt
Bolt's super powers, from the TV show he unknowingly stared in, could have him as one of the animals that were experimented on the Horizon Lunar Colony. Experimented that could lead to Bolt having actual powers, and could possibly have the ability to speak like a human. After escaping to Earth, when the colony was attacked by someone of its gorillas, he came across a young girl that needed a friend and protection from the dangers on the streets and in the world.

Evelyn Deavor
Like her backstory in Incredibles 2, Evelyn blames Overwatch for the death of her parents and for keeping people weak, while her brother believes that the group being forced to be disbanded is what prevented them from coming to their aid. To help her hunt down Overwatch members, that are trying to bring the organization back and are continuing their mission, she joined the terrorist organization Talon, as they excepted her into their ranks when she showed them her hypnotizing technology, and what she can do with it. After giving herself the title and alias of Screenslaver, she uses her tech to hypnotize innocent people to do her dirty work and to create decoy puppets, to put a face to the name and have the authorities chase after, while she watching her work from the safety of her lair. Since people don't know who the true Screenslaver is, as another "Screenslaver" pops up after they catch one, it makes it hard for them to know if the hypnotizing terrorist is one of the innocent people they arrested, or is still out there.

Tadashi Hamada
Fans have Tadashi cast as Hanzo, due to him being an older brother. While one of the fans theory of Tadashi surviving the fire, and what might have happened to him after wards, could have him as the younger Shimada brother, Genji. When Hiro is cast as one of the two brothers, beside him. The Tadashi surviving theory, could even have him as Soldier: 76.

Monkey
Fans have cast Satiaru as Pharah, as they both come from a family of warriors. While her alias and form as Monkey and is originally from the heavens, could have her as one of the primates that was involved with the experiments that were done on the Horizon Lunar Colony. Like Winston, she would side with the humans and fight to protect them, instead of rising up against them with the colony's other "subjects".

Wreck-It Ralph
Fans have cast Ralph as (a younger) Reinhardt, or have him as a member of the Crusaders.

Prince Hans
Fans have cast Hans as Reaper.

Rosa Rivera
Being a young Mexican girl with long hair and brown eyes, can cast her as Alejandra. The girl from the animated short, Hero.

Mr. Incredible
Since both supers, from The Incredibles universe, and members of Overwatch were forced to go into hiding by the government and the public's opinion on their failed actions, but couldn't turn their backs on the violence that is happening around the world, can easily have Mr. Incredible as one of the returned members of Overwatch, that are continuing their main mision. Along with other supers, like Elastigirl and Frozone, while Incredibles 2 supers, like Voyd, Brick and He-Lectrix, are resent recruits that wanted to help. Where their superpowers are due to artificial "enhancement" or using technology, that gives the allusion of having powers.

Syndrome
Like his backstory in The Incredibles, Buddy holds a grouch against the strong Overwatch member, that kept him from helping the team, becoming a hero beside them and felt tore apart by his words. Years later, an enraged Buddy Pin secretly began to build weapons for war and violent gangs across the globe, hoping that it would bring out any Overwatch members that would try to stop them. So Syndrome could take them out and become the hero that would bring an end to Overwatch for good, to the public that have cast them out and for terrorist organizations that want them dead.

Cassandra
Cassandra's dream of joining the royal guards of Corona and being raised and trained by her solider father, can easily cast her as Brigitte and Pharah.

Sergeant Tamora Jean Calhoun
When the Cy-Bugs are featured as bug-designed Omnics, Sergeant Calhoun and her troop can be place as one of the many military organizations that protect people from war raging Omnics, like the Crusaders and MEKA.

Valka
Being a mother that left her child so she could help others, can cast her as Ana.

Joy
Joy's upbeat nature, has fans portraying her as Tracer.

Sadness
Possibly cause of her blue skin, and her time "on ice" during one of Riley's brain freezes, fans have the blue emotion as Mei.

Disgust
Fans have Disgust as Widowmaker.

Trina
Being the android "daughter" of a master hacker and has her own hacking skills, in which she used on battlebots to commit her heists (while pointing the blame on their original owners) and had gotten a mohawk hair style when she upgraded her body, that has a purple and gray color scheme to it, in the beginning of season two of Big Hero 6: The Series, fans can bring those traits together so they can portray an older version of Trina as Sombra. Due to the fact that Sombra became a hacker at a young age and was part of a street gang, before she left them and became a cyborg so she could find and take on "the Conspiracy"; and her clothes being of a purple and gray-like color scheme. While being an AI robot/android could have Trina as a Omnic.

Stalyan
Due to the setting of the city her father governed and likes to surround herself in riches, fans could have Stalyan as the leader of the Junkers gang, the Queen of Junkertown.

Robots
The robot characters in the fandom, like Carl, Baymax, Mini-Max, DOR-15, Omnidroid and Clive (along with robots that are "objects", like Megabot, other battlebots that are used in the bot fights, the Kentucky Kaiju mech and the six Skymaxes), can be featured as omnics and other types of robots that exist in the world of Overwatch. Robots like Baymax and Carl live in harmony with humans, while antagonist robots like DOR-15 and the Omnidroids rage war on them.

Shank
Because of the rundown style and setting of the city in her home online game, Slaughter Race, Shank would most likely be placed as one of the people that call Junkertown home. Along with her Slaughter Race crew, Butcher Boy, Felony, Pyro and Little Debbie, for when the game's apocalyptic styled city is used as a base of the Junkers gang town. Shank being the leader of her own crew and a boss in her game, could even have her as the cutthroat Queen of Junkertown.
