Wattson
A brilliant engineer turned Apex competitor who weaponizes electricity to control the battlefield.
Evelyn 'Wattson' Walker is a prodigy of electrical engineering from the wealthy and isolated island nation of Tessen. Originally a brilliant but sheltered student, she was forced to flee her homeland after a catastrophic energy crisis exposed deep corruption within its government. Now competing in the Apex Games, she serves as a strategic Controller, using her genius-level intellect to manipulate electricity and create impenetrable defensive zones.

Lore & Background
Fleeing Tessen with nothing but her engineering skills and a deep-seated desire for justice, Evelyn adopted the callsign 'Wattson' in the Apex Games. She views the tournament not just as a fight to survive, but as a high-stakes laboratory where she can test her theories on energy distribution while evading the bounty hunters sent by her former government.
In Their Own Story
The rain slicked the metallic grates of the Kings Canyon ruins, reflecting the neon hum of Wattson's perimeter fences. She adjusted the dials on her gauntlet, feeling the familiar buzz of charged capacitors against her skin. 'Grid is live,' she whispered to herself, watching the invisible web of electricity crackle into existence around the choke point. As enemy footsteps crunched on the gravel nearby, she didn't flinch; she simply waited for them to step onto the trap she had woven from pure voltage.
