Lifeweaver

“	They taught us, uniformity is strength...like links in a chain. That there was a formula for success that we all must follow. But...I've never been much of a follower.	„
	~ Lifeweaver

Niran "Bua" Pruksamanee, also known as Lifeweaver, is the supporting character of the video game, Overwatch 2. He is an intelligent and curious adventurer who plans to use his biolight technology to make the world a better place.

He is voiced by Phuwin Tangsakyuen.

Biography

An ex-employee of the Vishkar Corporation, Niran Pruksamanee was born into a wealthy family in Thailand and grew up admiring the large gardens of his home. To provide structure in his life and to help him learn discipline, his parents sent him to the prestigious Vishkar Academy, where he became acquainted with one of their future finest employees, Satya "Symmetra" Vaswani.

While at Vishkar, Niran learned how to utilize their hard light technology, but his eccentric and carefree nature often clashed with the institute's rigid rulesets and inclinations towards perfectionism. He used his family's wealth during his off-time from Vishkar to travel the world, adventuring through its beautiful natural landscapes. In witnessing its beauty, he also witnessed the devastation that had been wrought upon it, and came to the conclusion that the world needed help.

Putting his own spin on the technology he had been given, his experiments ended up creating an entirely new form of energy that blended science and nature together - biolight. Unfortunately for Niran, Vishkar sought to profit off of his creation, claiming that as he utilized their technology to make it, it belonged to them and them alone. Dissatisfied with this decision and determined to use his newfound discovery to heal the world, Niran fled the academy and became a wanted man with a large bounty on his head placed by Vishkar. He now continues his worldly travels as a free spirit, using his biolight to help wherever he can.

Abilities

Lifeweaver is a Support hero loaded with incredible utility, able to heal allies, sculpt terrain, and reposition himself and his team in unorthodox ways.

His primary fire, Healing Blossom, launches biolight buds that heal targeted allies, and can be charged to give a greater burst of healing.
His alternate fire — equipped as a swappable sidearm — is Thorn Volley, which fires a stream of rapid-fire projectiles to deal damage.
His secondary fire, Petal Platform, creates a biolight platform on the ground that raises into the air once anyone steps on it.
Rejuvenating Dash makes Lifeweaver dash a short distance forward, healing himself in the process.
Life Grip has Lifeweaver shielding and healing an ally before quickly pulling them towards his position, allowing him to near-instantly rescue them from danger.
Lifeweaver's ultimate ability, Tree of Life, summons a massive biolight tree that heals allies upon sprouting and continues healing nearby allies as it stands. It also blocks enemy fire, but can be eventually shot down and destroyed by enemies.

Personality

Lifeweaver is a scientist from Thailand who harnesses his biolight technology on his mission to heal the world. Entwining the beauty of nature with the practicality of science, Lifeweaver is an intelligent and curious adventurer who plans to use his biolight technology to make the world a better place. Openly pansexual, witty, kind, cool, and confident, Lifeweaver has deep love and respect for nature, and is always looking to lift up those in need (sometimes literally). He strives to find beauty in the world around him.

Lifeweaver is a team player who loves collaboration, and has the best intentions for all he encounters. However, while he's doing the right thing in his mind, not everyone appreciates his actions. His charm and wit are sure to bring a smile (and maybe a blush) to the heroes who encounter him on the battlefield.
