I apologise if this is a mess / unpolished, it literally came to me in a dream so I'm doing the best with what I have. None the less, meet my new concept character for deadlock...
Arthur, The Cursed Apple's Mad Knight!
"I am the...Uh...well, I was a king once! Or will be? The future king? Maybe today!"
After completely misunderstanding the events of the Maelstrom, and the wish granting power of the patrons, local street bum Arthur believes he has been granted the powers of his heroic namesake, Arthur the Great.
Straining with all his might (and popping a blood vessel in his eye), Arthur transforms into Arthur, The Cursed Apple's Mad Knight, a chaotic bruiser fueled through his sense of justice (and delusion). Armed with his crossbow, shield (a trash can lid), and with the patron by his side, Arthur is prepared to cut through any evil doer who stands between him and completing the ritual!
Weapon: Crossbow, semi-automatic.
Passive (Attached to R): Folie A Deux - Hits on enemies with Arthur's crossbow build up "madness", dissipating over time if not hit again. At full madness, an enemy shares Arthur's delusion, hearing ghostly footsteps, whispers and seeing hallucinations (fake soul orbs, apparition Arthur clones).
Abilities:
Q - Fool's Justice
Arthur slam's a rusted sword down in front of him, pulling enemies towards him and applying a movement slow, and reduced dash effectiveness.
W - Jousting Step
Arthur lunges forwards in a straight line, knocking enemies down for a short period. If recently effected by Fool's Justice, this knock down is extended.
E - Triumphant Roar
Arthur slams his trash can lid on the ground, emanating a fearsome roar, applying a 20% fire rate reduction, and slightly reducing accuracy for a short duration.
R - Knightfall
Arthur's delusions consume him, finally becoming the ultimate mad knight! Arthur drives his sword into the ground, casting an AoE effect to all enemies caught in the radius. Enemies effected are slowed, and applied DoT damage as the madness consumes them. Enemies unaffected by madness at cast are applied full stacks of madness, albeit with a quicker dissipation rate than standard madness stacks. Those already effected by madness have their stacks refreshed, take additional DoT damage, and experience an increased slow.
Visual Design:
Arthur is clearly not a knight; his crossbow looks to be improvised from various scrap parts found throughout the alleyways of NYC, his rusted sword acquired through a trade of 3 packets of cigarettes with a shady figure in the sewers, and his "armour" not but the ragged clothes he sports every day on the street corners. The only "knightly" piece of attire is the solid steel helm sat atop his head, acquired where? Only god knows.
