This post is more focused on character design/lore. Im not too familiar with game design (im just an artist lol)
Backstory:
The youngest owner of the Baroness institution, Jade Baron has worked as a security chief for most of her life at the now decaying but once popular hotel.
Security at the Baroness is a tricky task, since not all the arrogant guests who plan on overstaying their welcome can be kicked out with brute force, so the Barons keep a tradition of their own exorcism methods.
Business is not ideal as of late, less than so, and all the entities and the curses are beginning to take toll on the Baron family.
Jade has tried to uncurse the hotel with every method on Earth: holy blessings, different exorcists, the Baxter Soceity... But it seems that, no matter what, theres a bigger force haunting the hotel that is not making this a possibility.
Now, she plans to seal the deal and close the Baroness once and for all. And as for new business? The Baron family always find their way. It's all about business.

Lore:
Jade is a stern, business focused and harsh woman.
She is the owner of the Baroness, security chief and an exorcist for all the ghostly entities that haunt the hotel. Her arms are covered in tatooed glowing runes to protect her and hel per do her job.
Her family had decided since the Maelstrom to let anybody stay/haunt the hotel as long as they pay the price as any other guest since it would lead to a lot of profit. This, however had atteacted a large number of entities living in the hotel, with rumors preading and making it the most hunted hotel in America until recently (with all the business in Macomb, as Doorman says).
These deals have led to terrible incidents and curses inside the elite family of the Barons, since her father had to retire early due to a terrible curse that has incapacitated him.
Jade knows about the impossibility of disenchanting the hotel, and that the Doorman is to blame. Jade hates him deeply for being the one that's making it impossible to have a chance of saving her family business.
As doorman implies to want to restore the "glory" of the hotel, Jade wants the complete opposite: close the hotel and all the headache that comes with it and look into other methods of illegal and much more profitable business, such as forming a partnership with Wraith.

Kit:
I thought of Jade as a CC tank with high vitailty and inmobilising options. Shes ment to get close to her target since most of her abilities are self cast/cast in close range (shes a bodyguard lmao). Slow movement speed and low stamina. Ment to build spirit throughout the game.Weapon: The Crown's Jewel
A family relic and a intricately designed handgun with touches of emerald.Heavy damage, but only uses a sigle bullet at a time and the max ammo is low. Damage scales with vitality.
Abilities
Ability 1: Brass Wave
Release a shockwave with your brass knuckles that deals spirit damage and pushes enemies back.
Ability 2: Jade Guard
Self cast abilty that immobilises yourself, but that increases you bullet and spirit resist by a lot. If a % of your health is depleated, make s 360º shock wave that rises enemies into the air. The % reduces as you build your spirit. The shockwave ends the guard.
Ability 3: Chain Trap
Set a rune on the geometry of the map (walls, floor) with a very short cast range. Whoever goes passes over/ next to it make chains appear, and immobilise the enemy. Items like greater expansion dont increase the radius of the rune, but how much the chains can extend to immobilise the enemy.
Ultimate: Exorcism
Channeled ability, takes time to charge and has a time limit to be used. A melee hit (can't shoot while charged, both M1 and Q activate it) that can only hit one traget, it makes a 360º area that curses the enemies where the hit is connected (curse area won't activate if she doesnt hit her target).
I like this woman a lot as of late haha. Sorry if the kit makes no sense lmao. Thanks for reading!
