TASSOS
In-game background:
To be or not to be? That is the question. To live or to die, a question that only Tassos knows the answer to.
Theatre nowadays is overrun by mediocre magic shows *cough* -the Sinclairs- *cough* and sleep-inducing plays written by numbskull literature majors who couldn't write a character arc to save their lives. “No more!” Says Tassos, “no more shall the people of this fine city be subject to such uninspired entertainment!” And so, the Show of Hysterical and Inspired Theatre was born. But what makes THIS different from the others? You may ask, well, this is a one-man band with actors completely composed of the living dead.
Tassos knew necromancy was extremely frowned upon and, in some places, illegal but whats a revolutionary if not someone who breaks the rules? But when Tassos’ first act, “The amazing decomposing man” was played…viewers were promptly appalled, leaving the theatre before the second act even begun. News article after news article slandered his great name, “What's cretins!” He exclaimed, “do they not see what surrounds them? These poor excuses for theatre must have numbed their minds to true passion, true entertainment! If the people will not listen, perhaps the patrons could make them.”
Lore Details:
Tassos is a stuck-up Greek playwright who moved to New York at a young age to pursue the great American Dream. He is rather unimpressed by what the city offered as entertainment, feeling they lacked passion and used cheap tricks and work-arounds to make mediocre theatre. Having read about necromancy, he became inspired to make a show of the living dead, cheap and available actors under his own command AND a unique gimmick? how perfect! He fights in the ritual to change public opinion on necromancy (and also to make himself the greatest playwright to ever live but that's just a secondary thing).
- Tassos is roughly 45-50 during the events of the ritual. He is rather short, slightly taller than Grey Talon, yet he is also quite a wide and chubby man and is severely balding, choosing to keep the backs and sides of his scraggly white hair.
- He is dressed similarly to your classical Maestro, with long tailcoats, and is carrying an array of stage equipment. Most notably he has strings wrapped around his fingers and body that drape and swing, he channels his necrotic magic through them.
Gun Name: To be or not to be?
Tassos wields his trusty suppressed pistol, great for "finding new talent". It has a relatively fast fire rate with moderate damage. It has a quiet yet still noticeable fire sound.
Fall-off: 20-58m
Bullet damage: 17
Bullets per second: 4.12
Ammo: 13
Reload time: 1.9s

ABILITY 1: Mastix
Clarifications:
- Healing burst can be rebound in the controls menu.
- Healing burst only consumes the percentage stated of the damage stored when used.
ABILITY 2: Puppeteer
Clarifications:
- Mimicked movements more so means mirrored movements.
- Enemies can still use their regular abilities whilst puppeted.
- Enemies can still look around whilst puppeted (Until T3).
ABILITY 3: Helping Hands
Clarifications:
- Helping hands has a 1s arm time, indicated by the mound having cracks of dark green energy.
- Cooldown reduction gained applies to all abilities.
- "flat" cooldown reduction is unaffected by diminishing returns.
ULTIMATE: Encore!
Clarifications:
- Time Between charges (T3): 10s
- 2s cast time when reviving an ally, you are stationary and cannot perform any other actions.
- revive mounds disappear after the revive window has closed.
- You can revive a teammate that has already been revived by you.
- Damage resist is actually 50% bullet and spirit resist and so abide by the revived's diminishing resist returns. (possibly could be changed to ignore it)
Thank you for reading this character concept, i had actually came up with Tassos before Graves was revealed in the game but i wanted to try and properly refine him to my liking before posting. As always, this is a first draft and so things may be a little too powerful or underpowers, if so, let me know! I'd appreciate and and all feedback.
