[Hero Concept] Legion - Four Continents, Four Warriors, One Body

[Jack Grim]

LORE

In Britain, Norfolk lies the mansion of Lord Pickering. In it there is a diverse collection of artifacts from around the world, including:

• A headdress of Aztec warrior
• an ancient Greek breastplate
• a Chinese repeater crossbow
• and apparel belonging to a Zulu warrior.

After the Maelstrom these artifacts became possessed with the spirits of the original owners and fused together becoming one. They have since spent years wandering the Earth trying to make sense of the new world they are in, as well as their shared body. Eventually they decided that they were not meant for this world and have repeatedly tried to return to the afterlife to no avail. They sought aid from mystics from all corners of the earth, but none of them were able to break their curse. Until one of them told the Patrons and the Ritual during the next Maelstrom. With no other options they decided to join the Ritual hoping one of the Patrons would be able to free them.

GAMEPLAY

Weapon: Zhuge Nu

Weapon is a Chinese repeater crossbow allowing the character to have a historical weapon with a magazine.

Abilities:

Legion does not have an ultimate ability, instead they have 4 basic abilities that each have a unique passive. The passives only activate when the spirit tied to the ability controls the body. A spirit gains control of the body when using the ability, they are associated with and will stay in control until another ability is used. At the start of the game when you unlock the first ability that spirit will gain control. When respawning the spirit that was in control before death will still be in control when respawning.

Huo Che:

Passive - While Kai controls the body reload speed and fire rate are increased.

CHARACTER DESIGN

Legion is a skeletal wraith that is wearing armor and apparel from its former selves, while using a repeater crossbow as a weapon. To tell which spirit controls the body there are two options:

1. Have the armor/weapon associated with the spirit glow while it’s in control of the body:

1. Kai = Crossbow
2. Mandla = Arm and leg clothing
3. Yaotl = Headdress
4. Adamantios = Breastplate

2. Have the body change its stance depending on who’s in control of the body.
