Hero Name: Voodoo
Character Name: Maisey Anne
Background Lore:
Maisey Anne was always a sick child and it broke her father’s heart to witness her decay at such a young age…especially since he was a doctor and the sickness by his own foolishness.

Maisey’s father was cursed by a petty witch upon their breakup—in which his firstborn would die from a terrible disease in early life. Later on when Maisey was born, she was plagued by inexplicable illness after illness.
It drove her father insane, to a point where he would do the impossible and the immoral to keep his little girl alive. He would seek out powerful spell crafters and with their help weave a magic fabric that could be used to keep poor Maisey together—stopping the spread of her incurable illness.

It worked, but there was a heavy cost…
Maisey was seen as a freak, and her father a monster for putting his daughter through such suffering and torment. For many years they hid, until Maisey’s father passed away leaving the doll/human hybrid to fend for herself.
Using her knowledge of stitching herself back up and the teachings of her father, Maisey began to tend to the wounded and was determined to help the sick and the weak no matter the cost.

Now as the second Maelstrom approaches and the Patrons soon to emerge, Maisey has a new goal that she will stop at nothing to achieve—to become the normal woman she always wanted to be. She’ll heal her allies and keep them patched up, while she attacks her foes with deadly pins.

Extra Lore:

Maisey’s father was extremely obsessed with keeping her safe, so she had a very sheltered life. As he got older eventually madness is what took him, and Maisey became his carer instead.

For a long time Maisey would cover her face with a mask and wear concealing outfits to hide her patchwork and fabric limbs.

Maisey’s left arm/hand is unable to hold anything properly and requires her right arm/hand to help.

She has a shy and very gentle personality and gets startled by loud and in your face people. Maisey loves taking care of others.

I put her age to be around 23-25 and for her to be quite short due to stunted growth from being physically modified.

Maisey would have laning dialogue with Victor, Bepob, The Doorman, Ivy, Paige, Grey Talon & Kelvin.

Patron Wish: To be a normal human being.

Inspiration: Voodoo’s inspiration came from the concept of “The Bride of Frankenstein” with a unique twist. Essentially I wanted to create a hero who had a sympathetic tie with Victor.

Look wise, she’s somewhat inspired by Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas and obviously a voodoo doll. Her surname is a little nod to the “Raggedy Ann” dolls.

Please Note: I haven’t read up on all the lore of Deadlock, only parts and a few backstories. If anything I wrote sounds like an existing character (aside from Victor)—sorry I had no idea!

I’m aware her “Patch Up” ability sounds like Rescue Beam, which is why I added an alternative ability as well.

If you think her abilities are too overpowered or too weak please feel free to say so. I can make adjustments and publish an updated version of her in the comments. I’ve never done anything like this before but I really love this game and wanted to give it a try! :)

Concept art of Voodoo will be added below in the comments once I’ve finished designing her!
