Funny lore:
Pooka has had many hosts over the last few decades.
Each host met him under a lampost on 5th. Some criminals, some thrill seekers.
Most were some of the worst the world has to offer.
He liked hosts of this nature for a time, but eventually the novelty wore out.
Now, tethered to the only "nice" man he has ever known,
Pooka is determined not to let his latest, and rarest host die. At least not before he can "settle down"
and fully enjoy the simple kindness Donaldson has to offer the world.
Fading memory:
The reason for his appearence is obviously derivative of the film and Broadway play "Harvey." However, rather than appearing as a big fluffy rabbit, he is a slowly deteriorating version of what the elderly Mr. Donaldson sees as a "rabbit" or "hare." Distended limbs, bizzare furless skin, and a literally fading body.
In the original film, Harvey only appears to Elwood P. Dowd, and his appearence as a "Rabbit" and his name is only due to Elwood's own perception and choices. The original Celtic pooka is a shapeshifting creature, so I wanted to stray away from purely "Humanoid rabbit" and add the implication that he could have looked like pretty much anything to previous hosts.
[His current model is just a quick rescuplt/retexture of The DoorMan's model]
More importantly, the reason he is falling apart is that he refuses to change hosts again.
The Idea Behind This Guy:
Initially I just wanted to say "Hey what if I put this little pooka guy I have into DeadLock." But this has quickly spiraled into my desire to see a hero in this game based on the idea of a more high risk version of the Victor playstyle that incentivizes a more close range counterplay that is less mindless than Victor's Aura Of Suffering.
Please Criticize this, most of the numbers are purely based on vibes. I made the original around 1:00AM and poorly revised it today.
