It's hard to explain what Warlock is.
Once mortal, he removed the majority of his soul long ago to grant himself power beyond belief. And it worked.
What remained was a sadistic godlike being capable of distending his own form in elderitch fashions, warping it to his needs. And his needs mostly composed of what he called his 'art': Murder. Glorious murder.
Warlock lives for the spectacle, for the art he creates, waiting for the masses to see what he's done.
As mentioned before, he gained the power to warp and shift his own body to his needs, even able to somewhat enter the Spirit Realm due to the lack of his soul (of course, the little bit that remains keeps him from entering it fully). The most obvious thing he's capable of doing is growing bony blades, extra limbs or body parts, and sculpting himself to his own vain self views: Basically, he likes being seen as the perfect life form.
Gameplay wise he's meant to be near omnipresent, being a constant threat to the enemy team and boasting a great kit for a roamer playstyle.
And he does technically have two ults, however they serve similar function: Extreme damage. The main difference is 'Boo' can ONLY be used on a single target, and has a lot of ways it can be naturally countered.
The way you 'swap' between the two ults is by being invisible with Warlock's 3, by the way. If he's visible, it's PS. If he's invisible, it's Boo.
A few random fun facts for the hell of it:
1. Warlock isn't really able to do any outward magic like Seven, the grand majority of his power is internal. However, he can absorb artifacts to gain their power, or other mystics for that matter, which DOES let him perform outward magic.
2. Warlock is capable of breaking the sound barrier, as showcased in his primary ult (if you're confused about it, it's basically a more offensive version of Calico ult in exchange for sacrificing some of it's defensive capabilities as AOEs can still hit him.)
3. Warlock is very fond of Doorman. The latter doesn't particularly care for him though because Warlock killed his favorite tailor and skinned him like a deer. Granted, they will work together when needed, although Warlock is going to relentlessly tease Doorman. In addition, Warlock will directly respond to Doorman when captured in the Baroness. Mostly because Doorman forgoes the omniscient being persona just to tell Warlock that he hates his guts, with Warlock responding how he loves Doorman to.
4. Warlock doesnt take trophies like Drifter.
5. Warlock technically isn't wearing anything, all the 'clothes' he's wearing is actually just his body hence why it's able to go invisible along with him and warp with him as well.
6. Warlock absolutely ADORES showing off and being a diva in general.
7. Warlock wants the Tome. Badly. Still, all his run ins with Abrams so far have ended in Warlock failing, however he doesn't mind too much since Abrams always fights tooth and nail and Warlock loves when they fight back.
8. Warlock doesn't have a 'code'. He doesn't have people he spares, only people he's not killing right now. Nor does he have morals. He will do anything he wants to if it leads to tormenting or traumatizing someone further, all for the love of the game.
9. Warlock thinks he's cooler than he is. If you couldn't tell.
10. Warlock is 'aware of another', but he's incapable of breaking the fourth wall directly.
11. Warlock HATES people who are attempting to obtain 'godhood' like he has, and that means he despises Seven. Adding onto that you'd think he'd hate Lash with how much talk the stevedore does about being a god but Warlock instead finds him rather funny.
12. Warlock has killed multiple Venators, a few members of Paradox after one tried to steal him, a few Sandmen, multiple federal agents, dozens of Mendoza goons, and even quite a few Friends of Humanity. All in extremely gruesome fashion of course.
13. Warlock wants to be seen as 'the villain'. He has done everything he has, killed everyone he has, so that the world and all of it's mirrors see him as the greatest evil to ever exist. He wants to be remembered. This isn't like Doomfist where he wants to be the evil that humanity will band together to defeat, he wants to be the dark presence every living creature is terrified of just... because.
14. Warlock thinks shirts are restrictive. He will wear a coat if it's particularly fancy, though.
15. Warlock has mixed feelings for Calico, who keeps trying to kill him and always has managed to slip out of his fingers. He worries she may find a way to put him down for good.
16. Warlock has... unique ties to the Adversary. He's unsure, but Warlock theorizes the Adversary is the direct result of his removed soul mutating after he basically put it in a jar and threw it in the ocean.
17. Warlock is banned from the Baroness. This is because he, as mentioned before, killed Doorman's tailor.
18. Warlock routinely travels the world, never staying in one place for long lest people forget about him.
19. If he can't find any good normal mortals to play with, he will stoop to butchering animals. Although he finds it... boring in comparison. More of a time waster than anything.
20. Warlock is aro/ace. He doesn't really care for relationships, nor other people in that way.
21. Warlock once spooked Rem so bad he made him cry once. He didn't feel bad, obviously.
