Ok, I'm not sure if Valve is OK with us creating Lore for existing characters, but I thought it'd be an interesting idea to make some characters related to each other. Also, I'm bad at drawing, but I wanted to show how I think this character can look
Hero name: Crazy Joe
Description: Adapts his combat style on the fly
Crazy Joe can adapt to different combat scenarios by switching between his pulse rifle and shotgun, while also utilizing his gadgets to distract enemies.
A Fate's Tale:
Joe McGinnis was always a genius inventor, known for his unorthodox and unconventional methods. Despite his brilliance, he never gained any support or recognition from the scientific community. Joe didn't mind the lack of recognition, as he pursued his inventions not for fame but for the sheer joy of creation. His workshop was a chaotic haven of innovation, filled with makeshift gadgets and experimental devices.
Joe's granddaughter, Maggie McGinnis, was his constant companion. Despite his eccentric nature, she adored him and spent countless hours watching him work and helping out in the workshop. Joe's inventions were often unpredictable, but Maggie loved the excitement and unpredictability of his creations.
One day, an accident in the workshop resulted in a massive explosion, leaving Joe severely injured. Refusing to give up, he used his own inventions to heal himself and enhance his abilities. Now, as Crazy Joe McGinnis, he fights on the battlefield with his improvised weapons and gadgets, determined to prove that his unorthodox methods have value. Though he appears mad to others, Maggie knows the brilliance behind the madness and continues to support him in his endeavors.
Appearance: An old crazy man with white hear and scraggly beard. He has a robot arm, leg and robotic heart. There's nothing wrong with his heart, he just replaced his old one just because he can. He carries both of his weapons and traps on him.
