Ramattra is an R7000 unit omnic, built for war by the rogue god ai, anubis!! the war (omnic crisis) waged on, and aurora, the first sapient omnic, sacrificed herself to give her sapience, to awaken the omnics who were being controlled by anubis. ramattra was awakened on a battlefield in new york, he barely survived.
after the war, he named himself "Ramattra" to "honor the first of our kind and kept it to remember my mistakes." ..... after everything, after the war, his kind, the R7000 'ravagers' were basically hunted to extinction because of what they were puppeted to do in the war. lost, angry, sad, alone, he ended up travelling on foot all the way to the himalayas, to the shambali monastery.despite his pain and anger, he fought for peace for a long time. he wanted so desperately to make peace with the humans. to show them that omnics have souls, just like them.
during one of ramattra's pilgrimage, he met zenyatta, and the two became as close as brothers. they studied under mondatta until ramattra's departure. as time goes on, and they preach more peace, as they do their pilgramages, something starts becoming clear to ramattra, until it slaps him in the face.
the two and a group of other omnics had gone down to one of the villages, and the humans ended up almost killing zenyatta and all the other omnics. humanity wasn't interested in peace. with this simmering in his already full pot, he was close to boiling over.
he let it simmer for a while, until enough was enough. his people were dying, were being killed like flies, when they were a *single* generation race. given the spark of life by aurora. and the humans were killing them. and mondatta was doing nothing to help, "places the burden of peace on the oppressed instead of the oppressors", ramattra has decided he's had enough of standing idly by. with a heavy heart, he leaves the monastery. the place that had been his home, his solace, his hope, for the longest time.
he wanders, he frees omnics trapped under the heels of humanity, he *helps* his people. he saves lives. and during one of those missions, he meets someone who would become a dear friend and ally-- nameless. soon, ramattra, nameless, and nameless's other friends, lanet, and zera, created a group they called Null Sector, to make a real change.
it goes smoothly for a while, they recruit more omnics build their ranks, and two years and an old omnium built by anubis later, ramattra decides null sector is ready for a test. he'll take over king's row in england, a place that has historically been so cruel to omnics, so it could be a safe harbor for omnics. but unfortunately, it doesn't go well. ramattra pushed forward when things weren't ready out of anger, impatience, desperation, lanet got caught in the cross fire and gave her life for the cause, mondatta had condemned the null sector attacks on kings row, and overwatch had foiled the whole attack.
ramattra had seen enough.
he was going to save his people, whether they wanted to be saved or not. this was his mission. he was their shepherd. he'll carry their cross. he'll be crucified on it, too. he will save his people.
nameless and zera, who had tried to calm ramattra down, who he ended up arguing with, had ended up leaving.
ramattra was alone.
still, he fought for his people. he took talon's offer to help fund null sector. he ended up launching a near global assault to... liberate his people. driven by desperation and love, he would move mountains for his people. he would do anything to make sure they're safe with him.
i don't know the details, any information he gives me is fuzzy, but ramattra's canon stops following overwatch 2 canon at this point. because on a battlefield somewhere, he lost his life. he never met with his dear brother zenyatta again. he never got his redemption. my ramattra died alone, seen as a monster. and it hurts so much to think about.
the road to hell is paved with good intentions. and while my rammy may have felt some sort of "take that" at some point during all the violence and pain, it still haunted him. it *still* haunts him. every single life damaged by his actions, human, omnic, pet, animal, or otherwise, has weighed so heavy on his soul for so long. the people he lost. the life he and others never got to live. he gave up everything he might've been able to have for the sake of his people. he did it all for them. and while it wasn't saintly, it was done for love. a lot of things have been done in the name of love, good, bad, ugly. but his soul was always crying out to save his people, even if it withered his own. that's our rammy, anyway.
information about *our* ramattra will be in the soulbonding/soulweaving section, and will be updated soon!
