omnics

Omnics are a fictional sentient artificial intelligence species from the video game Overwatch and its related media. They are a diverse group of robots, ranging from humanoid to more abstract forms, who achieved self-awareness and independence from their human creators. This awakening, known as the Omnic Crisis, led to a period of widespread conflict between humans and omnics.

Following the crisis, many omnics sought to live peacefully alongside humans, forming their own communities and advocating for their rights. However, prejudice and distrust from some human factions persist. Different omnic groups exist, each with varying philosophies and goals. Some omnics are integrated into human society, working in various professions, while others maintain more isolated existences. Their advanced technology and unique perspectives often play a significant role in the ongoing narrative of the Overwatch universe. The origins and specific capabilities of omnics vary greatly depending on their model and purpose, reflecting a wide spectrum of artificial life.
