[Hero Concept] Messenger the Pigeon

[sindio_art]

Design I threw together for fun as a hero concept. Somebody on the Discord suggested I should post it here. If you have any ideas for abilities or background, I'd love to hear thoughts. I just though the visual of a giant pigeon would be fitting for the world of Deadlock.

I personally think that Pigeon hero with such design must probably have like, functionality of scout,high vision and map abilities together with being basically support.
Maybe instead of being named as Messenger, pigeon can be like,Oracle/being flying support mage basically and being able to see future and all around town(through connection to regular pigeons,or maybe creating/controlling spectral pigeons that we see everyone around town and using them as this character eyes)
For a gun character may have something that isn't necessary dangerous but mobile and easy to hide in robe(maybe Derringer).
Lately I will write possible abilities in my opinion.

Yes, something with a focus on scouting and relaying information to teammates would probably be the most fitting thematically. Good input!

lol could be like

1 - blood inscribed feathers - throw infused feather darts at enemies that give vision. enemies take damage over time per dart when they get shot.

2 - special delivery - activate to start flying then swoop to deal damage. while flying can use charges to throw letters to targets. allies get healed and enemies take amplified damage for a duration.

3 - flock - passively pigeons gather around you while standing still, circling and damaging enemies while you move. activate to make the pigeons go faster and slow enemies.

4 - unstable package - throw a box with timed explosives. lasts a long time then deals several bursts of huge damage. goes off much faster if an enemy uses an ability near it.
