Idea: native American/Canadian hero focusing on early game shut downing on hard carries that other wise would be difficult to prevent (viper/haze/victor/drifter)

Character outline: Anuri's kit would be centered around deep diving enemy jungles, focusing on 1v1ing farmers and shutting them down, but being poor in late game and having longer cooldowns making prolonged/team fighting suboptimal

Character design: Anuri's appearance is based off of historical Inuit/indigenous references with stylistic touches
being inspired by native mythology, the wendigo/wechuge who.png

Anuri's weapons: Anuri carries a stylized fishing spear in his dominant hand and a rifle/gunstock warclub combination
using the former for his heavy melee and the latter for his light

M1's and alt fire: Anuri would have a baseline of around 15 ammo, His m1 would be a prod with his spear shooting out a mid ranged vine/rope thing (like marvel rivals Groot).
Anuris alt fire would be a spear throw, dealing large damage but leaving a window opened where he could neither m1 or alt fire again when he re-manifests the spear

Abilties:

Anuris first ability could be a medium dash where he turns into a crow and latches into the opposer, dealing medium damage, silencing them for however long you decide to stay latched onto up until 10 seconds after leaping out backwards into the air, though the longer decide to stay in this state the longer the cooldown it will have crow.png

Second ability:
Anuri would throw his sidearm up into the air, catching it right ways on the proper handle and points it forward or where ever your aiming, shooting will have a click sound effect play and a buffalo spirit will materialize to the side of him and rush forward, passing through the opposer (illusion) dealing good damage due to the longer windup, its upgrades would also help disorient and slow helping Anuri finish the job

Third ability:

The third ability would be a passive tied to his melee, on a heavy melee hit, would tie anuri and the person hit togethor, keeping them tied in close reach, the first upgrade would allow him to (when tied) alt fire anywhere in 10 meter radius of the subject to tie them to where ever they happen to be.

Ult: Anuris ultimate would be tied to his passive, whoever is currently tied to anuri will be transported to another realm (light doorman) where it would be an open forest with overhead northern lights, and noises, heavy melees, gunshots, elk calls, critical notification, slides, walking and all that could disorient the subjects, trapping who ever is in there until atleast one person dies (or if it takes more then a minute or two) this could be used to get confirmed kills, forcing them into a cat and mouse chase or as a sacrifical time buyer for the team

Tiers for ult:
1 obscure Hud
2 Increase spirit power for duration
3: Cd: -25 seconds

Anuris lore and personality:

Anuri would be a "cult leader" though, none of his subjects consider it a cult, He does.
Cannibalizing his own "worshippers" absorbing their life extends his own, though unluckily for him his former group of followers were found out and dismantled by the baxter society during the former leaders youth, though after latching onto the Friends of humanity, he seems content with his underlings being focused on hating others rather then noticing their missing brothers and sisters
His reason in the ritual is to bring humanity back to time when they were scared of the night and cold, a time when a mans own strength decided his standing and not the place where they were born, all were born in the wild back then

His personality would naturally be more quiet and reserved, though not opposed to showing emotion to old friends or humoring the ignorant for his own enjoyment, most of his interactions would be laced with a more "laugh at you and not with you" kind of comradery, though when something is about his own personal beliefs/interests he can become earnest

First time idea, I barely ever see native american characters so grey talon was rad so I thought a native canadian could go aswell too though if you have any feedback that'd be great, thanks for reading
 
Very cool artwork, love the buffalo move, I'm not seeing the dueling aspect of the character though. The passive and ult suggest that this guy thrives in the 1v1 and seeks it out, but his other two abilities don't lend himself to that.

Thank you for the compliement, but with his abilities his first ability can shut down/keep him up and his 2nd helps keeping them from running and disorient, i feel like applications in dueling would be good though im not really a game designer so take whatever i say with a grain of salt
