I don't know what to call her, but I had this idea for a character: a girl who sold her soul and dabbles in all sorts of occult stuff, and also makes voodoo dolls. I picture her skills something like this:
Her first skill could be like Paige's stun, except instead of a sword, she summons a circle with a star. Just now I thought maybe it wouldn’t stun, but instead curse like Talon’s Trap
For her second skill, she swings her kitchen knife and deals damage (something similar to Mina’s first skill), after which the enemy is left bleeding. Maybe we should give this skill charges?
Her third skill is invisibility, during which her movement speed is higher, with a built-in fear gauge passive (like Shiv’s rage). When the gauge is empty, her damage is normal; when an enemy is nearby or she takes damage, the gauge fills up and her damage decreases. I was also thinking maybe we could add a moment here where, either at a certain point or if the gauge fills up instantly, her damage increases significantly for a short time—like the adrenaline rush people usually get when they can do something incredible in the moment—but that’s just me throwing out an idea. I also thought that the third skill could just recharge outside of combat (like Victor’s battery), and then it wouldn’t recharge during combat.
4th Ability: “Please Forgive Me”
She steals a fragment from the enemy, after which she can activate her ultimate anywhere and anytime—even if she stole it early in the game, she can activate it even at the end. During activation, she pulls out and stabs a voodoo doll, after which the doll becomes a model of the character that can be damaged for several seconds. When the ultimate is cast, a ritual circle appears around the enemy, and as long as they remain within it, they are affected by a slowing hex or capacitor, after which they begin to take the damage dealt to the doll. During the cast, however, this can be interrupted by either a counterspell, Ethereal Shift, or certain abilities.
I also thought a bit about her possible backstory. For example, she might have been in an orphanage where the matron, whom everyone called “Mother,” treated the children very cruelly, and some even disappeared, and no one knows what she did to them. The girl wants to take revenge on this old woman, so she started studying all kinds of rituals and the occult, but nothing works for her, so she decided to turn to a patron for help.
The headmistress herself also sold her soul, but to a much more powerful entity, and now we can understand where the children went
The girl herself strikes me as very timid; she’s afraid of everything, but at the same time she has sadistic tendencies - for example, when she casts her ultimate ability, she says, “I hope this hurts.” I also think she might speak some Latin. In general, her design should have included more hints about her connection to the occult - there are some symbols there, but I don’t know how to do that effectively. Also, she has no eyebrows or eyelashes, and she has bags under her eyes; overall, she’s pale and looks sickly.
Anyway, that’s about it. I don’t know how balanced this will be or how interesting she’ll be to play, I just wanted to see such a gloomy, REALLY CREEPY girl with a voodoo doll.
