Orisa is not a biological creature, but rather an advanced robot, specifically a re-engineered OR15 defense unit. She serves as a protector in the city of Numbani within the Overwatch universe.
Orisa's Origin and Nature
Orisa's existence stems from the need for a new defense system in Numbani after its original OR15 defense robots proved insufficient. She was ingeniously reconstructed from the parts of one of these short-lived OR15 units. Her creation by the brilliant young inventor Efi Oladele transformed her from a basic defense mechanism into a unique, sentient machine with a strong protective instinct and a desire to learn.
As a robot, Orisa possesses characteristics that distinguish her from biological life forms:
- Mechanical Composition: Her body is constructed from advanced robotics and technological components.
- Artificial Intelligence: Orisa operates with sophisticated AI, allowing her to learn, adapt, and develop a personality.
- Designed Purpose: She was built with the explicit purpose of defending Numbani and its inhabitants.
In the context of Overwatch 2, Orisa is classified as a Tank hero. Tank heroes are pivotal to team composition, as they specialize in absorbing damage, disrupting enemy formations, and leading pushes on objectives. Orisa embodies this role by using her protective abilities and fortifying positions to shield her allies and control the battlefield.
