Personal Info
Parents: N/A
Siblings: He considers all to be apart of his family. <3
Personality: They say if you're around him for only a certain amount of time, you're suddenly overwhelmed with loving warmth, a feeling you'd get from hugging a loved one. Zenyatta is one of the kindest souls you may come across in your lifetime. The sound of his voice and his robotic whirring is enough to trust him in an instant. As a teacher, he is willing to help all, but one must be willing to help themselves in the process. He would even treat a stranger with the utmost care like they had met years before. Zenyatta is not scared to tell the truth, and is not easily flustered. Many envy his ability to stay composed, even in the most stressful of times. Yet, he is only 20, so he may let a sassy remark slip every now and then <3
Likes: To cook! Gardening! And he has a secret passion for the art of dance <3
Dislikes: Though Zen will not show it, he dislikes abrupt loud noises. When one expresses hate on oneself. And lastly, when one fights without reason.
Backstory
"A former member of the Shambali, Zenyatta disagreed with the group's approach. He believed that the way to repair the problems between humans and omnics was not through dogmatic teaching but through interpersonal connection and engagement. Ultimately, Zenyatta followed his own path. He chose to leave the monastery and wander the world, helping those he meets to overcome their personal struggles and find inner peace.
At some point either before or after leaving the monastery, he encountered Genji, who had left Overwatch and was conflicted with his nature as a cyborg. Though Genji initially rejected Zenyatta's wisdom, the benevolent omnic would not be deterred. In time, Zenyatta became his mentor, and under the monk's tutelage, Genji reconciled his dual existence as both man and machine. Zenyatta would later consider Genji to be one of his brightest pupils."

Personal Info
Armour/Clothing: Zenyatta is usually seen wearing his yellow, loose-fitted pants, with the long red cloth seated between his legs. Along with a large yellow rope-like piece strung around his hips. He can be seen wearing patterned robes sometimes but he can also change his faceplate when he wishes! [Such as his Sanzang skin]
Weapons: Zenyatta's primary weapon are his hand crafted orbs. The primary fire causes Zenyatta to shoot fast-moving orb projectiles at a reasonable rate, dealing damage to an enemy. The secondary fire is a charge ability: Zenyatta will gradually begin preparing up to five orbs, with the number of orbs increasing the longer he charges. He can let go of the secondary fire button at any time to release the stored orbs, firing them straight forward at his crosshairs, in a rapid burst. He will automatically fire his stored orbs if the secondary fire button is held down long enough. He also uses these orbs for harmony, which gradually heals others over time, or discord, which makes enemies take much more damage.
Writing Sample
A deep breath. At least, thats what it seemed like.. As an omnic, he didn't need to breathe whatsoever, yet he did. His robotic whirs mimicked breathing as the noise got stronger and softer. The sound of the wind atop of the Nepal mountain always created a warmth inside of the omnic. He was sat under a small tree, along with his pupil right next to him. Genji.
Zenyatta chuckled. I guess that was another thing he didn't really need to do, yet he did. "I can feel your eyes staring at me, Genji.." His head perked up towards the cyborg, who was, in fact, staring. If Zenyatta could smile, he would, but it seemed Genji already knew when we was smiling and when he wasn't. "You're having some trouble focusing, I assume..." He twiddled his fingers together, tillting his head towards the amazing view. Wondrously large mountains for miles. "Hmm.. Stand up, Genji."
Zenyatta floated upward, matching his height with the cyborg. "This will be your first time with my harmony orb when you aren't hurt. Its a tad.." He chuckled once more. "Overwhelming! But it will help until you can meditate on your own. Make sure not to fall asleep, alright?" Zenyatta let one of his orbs float in front of him. It slowly became a golden yellow. From just looking at the orb, you felt something inside of you.. Something blissful. "Here. I hope you enjoy." He gave a laugh as he let his orb fly above Genji, the yellow light wrapping softly around him.
"Now, lets try this again, Genji.. Breathe."
