If you call yourself a real gamer, you must have well-reasoned opinions about which Overwatch characters would shoot Sonic the Hedgehog in the back, and be prepared to defend them. I don’t make the rules – that’s just how it is.

• Ana: betray. Considers Sonic a loudmouthed fool.
• Bastion: defend. Loves small mammals.
• D.Va: betray. D.Va has a military background and considers Sonic a liability.
• Genji: defend. Genji knows the horrors of betrayal and would never inflict it upon another.
• Hanzo: defend. Hanzo would never tarnish his honor by betraying another again.
• Junkrat: betray. Junkrat would explode Sonic as soon as he ceased to be amusing.
• Lucio: defend. Sonic and Lucio are both staunch defenders of freedom.
• McCree: defend. Appreciates Sonic’s ability to be himself.
• Mei: defend. Her wrath is only deployed against humans.
• Mercy: neutral. Finds Sonic annoying, but too committed to the Hippocratic oath to actually kill him.
• Pharah: complex. Sonic is admittedly a liability, but Pharah would never leave a teammate behind.
• Reaper: betray. Takes himself too seriously to tolerate Sonic’s humility.
• Reinhardt: defend. Sonic acts out of an inner nobility that Reinhardt would respect.
• Roadhog: defend. Hog solidarity.
• Soldier:76: defend. Thinks too highly of himself to betray another.
• Sombra: complex. I am fully willing to believe she would shoot Sonic if it would aid her, but I also believe she thinks of Sonic as too amusing to kill.
• Symmetra: betray. Sonic is an agent of chaos and cannot be tolerated.
• Torbjorn: betray. Torbjorn is already basically Eggman.
• Tracer: betray. Can’t handle the competition.
• Widowmaker: betray. Sonic’s earnest nature reminds her of what she lost.
• Winston: defend. Practically a Mobian himself.
• Zarya: neutral. Sonic is beneath her notice.
• Zenyatta: defend. Even Sonic’s life is precious.

St. Cristophe and the Hyades – A South American island country consisting of St. Cristophe (the main archipelago) and the Hyades (the surrounding sparsely inhabited islands). They were a UK colony up until 1957 when they won their independence by non-violent means. UK officials were constantly given incorrect coordinates as to the location of the country and this fooled them long enough for the people to write an official declaration of independence while imprisoning officials already on the Island. The UK silently pulled out of the country without any fuss as they didn’t want anyone talking about what an international embarrassment they are.

Tasilimo! – The only country left with an exclamation point in its name, Tasilimo! is located off the coast of New Zealand. Tasilimo! has a small population of 549, but has one of the most linguistically diverse populations in the world. All 549 inhabitant of Tasilimo speak their own language, and this has caused longstanding tension between the inhabitants. At the moment, Tasilimo! is going through a brutal civil war between each citizen in the country. Peace talks have largely failed because nobody can tell what the fuck anyone is saying.

Shadow Albania – Shadow Albania is located in the Balkan Peninsula right next to Albania. The country is unique in that it’s the only country that based its border on another country. It has the same shape as vanilla Albania, but it roughly half the size. Shadow Albania has very similar historical origins as Albania, yet there is tension between the two countries as Shadow Albania considers itself “darker, edgier, and more mature” than vanilla Albania, going so far as to ban immigration from vanilla Albania as they consider Albanians to be “motherfuckers”. Shadow Albania still subscribes to a version of extreme Hoxhaism, and the country’s geological makeup has all but been destroyed to make room for bunkers. So much of Shadow Albania’s GDP goes towards building bunkers that its economy is failing, yet it is perhaps the most safe country to be in, in the case of nuclear war.

Ohio – Sometimes mistakenly thought to be an American state, Ohio won its Independence in 1992 when its entire human populace all but disappeared, only to be replaced with odd mollusk like creatures. Ohio is the only country in the world with a population of zero. Its capital is Cleveland, a bizarre desolate wasteland made up mostly of row houses and geological disappointment. Its national motto is “I wish I was anywhere, but Ohio” and its main exports are transients and nuclear waste.
