how does a video character fits into the realism? / Main character design

video games often create realistic character with future technology, if you are playing FPS. The point is to catch the realistic feeling in the future wars. So we do often see cyborgs, or half human being with mechanic body. The video game character that I am going to talk about is the most favorite one in Over Watch, Genji. First, everybody will think ninja is cool, no matter in what games. But a cyborg ninja? Most players will be like : OH SHIT! THAT’S DAMN AWESOME!! Over Watch is a FPS game, but for Genji, he’s ultimate ability is release his dragon sword from his back and with his dash ability, he can slash and destroy enemy’s back line easily. And maybe that’s why Genji is the special one in this game. Any other character including his brother, Hanzo. They all are human beings ( even some have artificial limb (except Zenyata, he’s totally robot)) Genji has a full body transform into cyborg and only left with his brain. Yeah, a cyborg ninja has own brain. He can think as normal human being, talk like people but move like superman!
