Hero Name: The Tailor
Real Name: Unknown
Protection - Resistance - Saviour
Background Lore:
No city claims him. No one truly knows him. His identity remains a complete and utter mystery.
In every part of the world, there are rumors: a narrow storefront wedged between buildings, never seen before. No address. No location that stays the same. Some swear it appears only at dusk; others insist it’s only when it rains.
Yet one thing always remains the same—they feel an inexplicable pull to go inside. The door is always unlocked, as if someone is waiting for them.
Inside, the tailor stands.
He never gives a name, and he never asks for payment. Instead, he takes measurements—precise, accurate and always with a smile. His hands move faster than they should, needle flashing like a blade. The fabric he uses doesn’t fray, doesn’t stain, and never appears in any catalog. Those inside his domain feel no urge to flee, no instinct to resist. The thought simply never comes.
Once the Tailor finishes, his guest is compelled to leave, clothed in a garment made expressly for them. Then—without warning, without sound—the shop vanishes. In the space of a single breath, the Tailor and his store are no more.
An exchange has been made. The visitor departs with new attire; the Tailor takes his due. What was taken is never spoken of, never seen again. But whomever leaves is aware that something has changed, something has been lost—for better or worse. But as for what, only the Tailor knows.
Extra Lore:
The Tailor is currently under the radar of the OSIC as a potential threat.
The Tailor is meant to have ties with The Doorman as they both originate from the same place. They share a rivalry, but haven’t seen each other until the events of the game.

Creator Note:
Just wanted to say quickly, The Tailor is a refined version of my older post of my concpet hero Voodoo. But, she wasn't really refined enough for my liking... So, I’ve reused some elements of her abilities and design into The Tailor, who I’ve taken far more time on.
I couldn’t decide on which ultimate suited him better, so I kept both in for now.
Feedback would be appreciated as I find balancing concept heroes very difficult.
