Personality:
A strong believer in the ideas of Justice and Chivalry, Reinhardt is basically a big teddie bear. He's a very vocal supporter of equal rights, especially for the Omnic, and will be the first to step up to the plate to defend the little guy, or robot. Reinhardt is also a very loyal and blunt friend, often telling people exactly what he thinks of them, be it good or bad, and will always be truthful when he does so. In spite of all of the joy that the large German seems to give off though, he does also carry a heavy burden of grief. In a very short period of time he had to bury three of his closest friends, speaking at the funeral of a man he considered his leader and best friend. Now, he has to deal with the mixed emotions of all three of them suddenly reappearing, though there's something different about each of them while he is the same. Then there's the bond with his daughter, Phara. The relationship was always awkward, for as much as he loved her as a child, he also had no experience with raising a child, often having to ask Jack for help, he made it work though, and now his daughter is a powerful member of overwatch.
Back Story:
As a child, Reinhardt watched many movies about knights and heroes and aspired to be like them, big, strong, and adorned in a suit of armor. He worked out his body and mind to become just like the knights in the movies. He never could get his hands on a sword though she instead he chose to run around with a sledge hammer, and that worked just as well. When Overwatch was first forming he was one of the first to volunteer, by then he had gotten a highly advanced suit of armor as well as his massive rocket powered hammer. It was in this group that he met his best friends, and the love of his life. It wasn't long until him and fellow member Ana became romantically involved with one another and not long after that, their daughter Fareeha was born. The entire team was proud of the child and all took a part in raising her. However, the good times were not destined to last, and things began to fall apart. Reinhardt watched as team mates, his best friend, and even his wife were killed around him and he had to be the one to bury them and speak on their behalf. When the group finally officially disbanded, he left Fareeha with a family member in Egypt and left to travel the world. He continued to be a hero, he just didn't have a team to back up like he used to, until Winston issued the Recall. Now he's back, and is wrestling with ghosts from the past as he realizes that the friends he thought he'd buried weren't so dead after all
Role:
Tank
Abilities:

Energy Shield-Generated from the lion shaped emblem on his arm and drawing power from his armor, the tips of the lion's mane serve as the caps to limit the expansion of the hard light energy that is capable of taking several hits until temporarily "breaking" and requiring a recharge. Due to the power draw from it, he is unable to swing his hammer or move quickly while using it.

Charge-Utilizing several jets built into his armor and hammer powered by an Omnic generator built into the armor, Reinhardt charges at full speed, tackling anyone who gets in his way. The charge does not last long and requires a bit of a recharge.

Fire Strike-Combining the after burner from the Magma Forge in his hammer with a powerful underhanded, upward swing, it launches a wave of fire at any opponent that stands in his path.

Earth Shatter-By overheating the Magma Forge in his hammer and striking the ground with all his might, Reinhardt can send lines of molten metal into a small area ahead of him and send enemies reeling from the impact alone.
Weapon(s):
Rocket Hammer- A massive hammer that is powered by a smaller version of Torbjorn's forge back pack and is capable of powering it self. A small switch along the handle allows him to fire the rockets in short bursts, increasing the power behind his swings.
