đź’€ Character Information
Name: Mako Rutledge aka “Roadhog”
Canon: Overwatch
Canon Point: Post the Junker comic “Going Legit.”
Age: 48
Description: Well over 7ft tall, very chubby and muscular, this is undoubtedly the first thing you’d notice about Roadhog. The second thing that would stand out most is his gas mask. He wears it constantly, keeping it an integral part of his constructed Roadhog persona. He has a decent amount of dirty grey/white hair pulled up into a tight pony tail on top of his head through the mask straps.

Physical changes: Roadhog’s mask is now his face. The large plastic eyeholes are his eyes, the fake snout his nose. He’s not much of a talker ordinarily, even less so now his mouth is stitched shut. At least he has extra breathing holes through the vents?

Powers: None. Aside from being absurdly tall and strong, Roadhog is just a human dude with a giant hook and a scrap gun.

History: I’m a one man apocalypse…

Hell Status: Hell Newbie!

What Brings Them To Hell: The road the hell is paved with good intentions.

Roadhog, once Mako Rutledge, is hugely responsible for an explosion that turned the Australian outback into an irradiated wasteland. Did he try to make amends for this? No, Mako put on a gasmask, shotgunned some Hogdrogen and hopped onto his chopper, adopting the name Roadhog. In the months to come, he would be known as a terrifying enforcer, even as Junkrat's body guard. He has no regard for human life and enjoys wanton destruction and theft. Roadhog is a terrifying force on the battlefield, laughing manically as he tears his enemies to shreds with his scrap gun, impales them with his giant hook and generally murders them in creative ways.

He's no angel and he knows it.

The Pitch: Roadhog is the poster boy for strong silent type.

That being said, he’s also a violent criminal, bodyguard to Junkrat, and generally kind of a sadistic dick. Everything he’s built around his persona is gritty and dangerous, from the spiky tire across his shoulder to the brass knuckles on his, uh. Knuckles. Roadhog is an expert at looming over people, threatening them and showing no remorse for his behaviour. He assisted Junkrat in a crime spree across the planet and doesn’t even hesitate at the opportunity to cause more mayhem. He absolutely lives for destruction. Along with Junkrat, Roadhog took part in an epic streak of crime across the globe. This includes but is not limited to robbing a massive armed bank vault in Dorado and stealing the crown jewels. They don't screw around. Both of them know what they're doing and no doubt their absurd amount of explosives and disregard for human life helps that.

During the Junker comic "Going Legit", Roadhog participated with Junkrat in apparently rescuing some workers from Omnics. It's important to note that the pair were more interested in the prospect of killing Omnics, which they both deeply hate for the Omnic Crisis, than the idea of doing good and rescuing the factory hostages. Even if they had taken the job for helping the hostages, the disaster pair hilariously forget all about them, bringing down the entire factory and only remembering the supposed hostages after the fact. Roadhog, like Junkrat, clearly enjoyed the destruction more than the idea of saving anyone. They also string up the person who gave them the mission on realising they'd been set up, once again bringing down another building.

Then again, he also likes to daintily drink tea from tiny cups gripped in his giant hands, stuffed animals and making sure that Junkrat doesn’t blow himself up or get shot in the face. They’re strange quirks, but quirks that are unique to Roadhog’s character. This could be the last vestiges of Mako Rutledge, despite him having been supposedly lost under the Roadhog persona, possible through guilt of destroying his own land he was trying to protect, or it could just mean that Roadhog has a soft spot for small, fluffy creatures.

Oh, and trash goblins that and screech and throw bombs.

Setting Fit: Roadhog will be pretty peeved about being bumped off, though not surprised at all to see himself in Hell. Part of him will be like “welp had to happen sometime” but he’ll definitely want to continue his and Junkrat’s crime spree rampage while he still has a tangible body. He’s not that deep fam.
