Real name: Mei-Ling Zhou Age: 31 Nationality: China/Chinese Occupation: Climatologist, Adventurer Base of Operations: Xi'an, China Mei is a scientist who takes the fight for environmental preservation into her own hands. OVERWATCH: With the worsening climate change plaguing the world, Overwatch established a series of ecopoints in strategically located remote areas. Their goal was to study ecological challenges and offer solutions to stabilize or reverse the most pressing problems. Mei-Ling Zhou was a member of this multifaceted initiative. An unparalleled climatologist, she introduced cutting-edge technological innovations in the field of climate manipulation that protected at-risk areas both inside and outside of Asia. She was assigned to the monitoring program station at Ecopoint: Antarctica when disaster struck: a catastrophic polar storm buried the facility and isolated it from the outside world, leaving the facilities damaged and the scientists trapped. With their supplies dwindling, they entered a cryostatic state in a last-ditch attempt to survive until rescue could be made. But rescue never came. Years later, when the cryogenic chamber was finally discovered, Mei, still in hibernation, was the sole survivor. The world Mei awoke to had undergone considerable change: Overwatch no longer existed, climate problems had worsened, and none of the eco-points were operational. All the clues they had uncovered had been lost. Story: Mei-Ling Zhou, an unparalleled climatologist based at Ecopoint: Antarctica, was forced into cryogenic freezing during a turbulent storm. Unfortunately, the freeze lasted longer than intended, and Mei awoke nine years later as the sole survivor of the damaged station. With the help of her robot companion, Snowball, she invented a new technology to escape Antarctica.
