Got caught in a loop of ideas so just gonna.. dump them all here on the off chance even a single idea is workable, and then try not to think about them anymore.
500 starting health. No sprint speed. Two stamina.
Low rate of fire, low ammo, very high bullet velocity laser shot from its tail.
1. CHOMP
Chomp down after a short delay, which counts as a light melee attack. Has a 2 second cooldown between charges. Kills restore health. If done while using Lick, immediately ends Lick on the target and stuns them for its remaining duration.
Launches tongue at targeted enemy, doing damage to it and anything along the way. Wraps tongue around an enemy hero and slows them for the duration, still able to do damage to other units if they touch the tongue for the first time. Breaks if target gets far enough away.
Passive. Gain 50 gun shield and 50 spirit shield. When either shield is broken, release an AOE of corresponding damage somehow proportional to the shield total.
Huge AOE around user. Enemies cannot see into it from outside, and enemies inside have limited vision within it. Deals a small amount of spirit damage to enemies inside. Has no effect on bosses.
550 health. One sprint speed. Three stamina.
Gun is moderate rate of fire, moderate damage, lowish ammo, moderate/high bullet velocity
1. Root
Throw a projectile that will tether enemies in an AOE for a short time, dealing minor damage, before snapping them to the center point. Escaping a slightly larger AOE will break the tether.
Target ally erupts with ethereal plantlife, maybe initially damaging them but increasing healing and regen for the duration.
Deal damage in an AOE. Consume all instances of Root, Seed, and Bloom in the area, ending their effects. Heal for each instance consumed, and gain temporary cooldown reduction.
Plant an explosive flower, which takes a few seconds to grow. Cannot place instances within a certain distance of each other. Once fully grown, will explode after a brief delay when shot by [plant person] or if an enemy hero is within a short distance. Enemies can destroy it with a Heavy Melee attack.
500 health. Two sprint speed. Three stamina.
Gun is high rate of fire, low/moderate damage, moderate/high ammo, moderate bullet velocity
1. Coffee?
Stand still and chug what might be a caffeinated beverage, recovering some health and entering an energized state. This state increases sprint speed and reduces debuff duration, but after four seconds begins to drain health at an increasing rate until deactivated.
Hurl insults and/or questions at a target, dealing damage and adding time to their last-used ability’s cooldown. (VA could have a lot of fun with this on a character basis)
Briefly manifest the soul of James Whitlow, spectral mobster, to gun down your enemies. Jimmy will fire a revolver/shotgun/some meaty gun to complement your rapidfire peashooter, firing automatically for every 15 bullets you fire during the skill’s duration.
Enter a first person perspective with limited FOV. Take a picture within this FOV, freezing everything within range for three seconds after a delay. Affected targets are monochrome, cannot take any action, cannot heal, gain 100% spirit and bullet resistance, and have their cooldowns frozen.
650 health. One sprint speed. Four stamina.
Gun is low rate of fire, low damage, low ammo, low/mid bullet velocity, almost no boon scaling
15% spirit resistance
1. Husk
Passive. Innate, and starts the game with this ability. Jimmy does not have a soul, and therefore cannot benefit from Spirit.
Activate a stolen piece of Fairfax tech and swing in an arc, silencing struck enemies. Counts as a light melee attack, does melee damage.
Activate a different stolen object. Waves of slowing AOE emanate from Jimmy. Initially a cone in front of him.
Passive. Jimmy does additional melee damage. Parry bonus damage increased by 50%.

Has a camera that steals people’s souls if it uses the flash, so she doesn’t use it.. anymore.
Would really like the Patron to put Jimmy’s soul back where it belongs.
