Main Idea & Inspirations
With the introduction of new plane of existence ( Like Ixia, or Rem's world), along with Graves who traffic with the dead, I was thinking the Underworld (or Hell, where the dead resides) could be another plane of existence. And just like the real world, it has many same issues, including overpopulation, with led to the introduction of Herald:
Backstory
The Maelstrom ripped open humanity's eyes to entities and supernatural beings like never before, ushering in a golden age of advancement: leaps in technology, knowledge, and science that redefined the overworld. But every boon has its shadow—including endless wars that accelerate the body count. And the Underworld is flooded with souls at an unprecedented rate. Hell's once-orderly halls are now overcrowded chaos: crumbling infrastructure buckling under the weight, the dead demanding better conditions, but the lord can't keep up.
In this infernal bureaucracy, most positions are under hell, but some roles straddle both realms, like the Herald. They're the king's eyes and ears: scouts who report Overworld news back to hell, smuggling intel.
Now, the king has tasked the Herald with a desperate mission: plead with the Patrons for human's immortality, or at least die slower. Not out of mercy for mankind, but for the underworld.
I'm not sure how they should look like, maybe like the Reaper from Xcom 2
Kit Ideas
I think the best fitting role for Herald is a recon scout duelist (like Haze and Wraith), but focus more on recon and speed, to be more suiting with their role. I'm welcome for suggestions
