[HERO CONCEPT] Woods: The Forest Walker

[dewdrop6244]

Just a little guy I thought about.
TLDR I haven't really thought too hard on his reason for being in the apple.
But as for other lore parts, he was lost in the northern woods during a trip and used his spirit and the hatchet he was given to survive until he was found half a year later. After he grew up he went back because he found comfort there traveling along the rivers and lakes and holing up for the winters. He enjoys painting.

Shoots pine needles, similar to paige in that its magic not a gun, 2 damage (subject to change obv) but fast moving and theres lots of them. Reloads by growing a small pine tree on arm for a moment.
Ability 1: Quick Tree. summons a tree that drops exploding acorns/pinecones in an area. Tree gets bigger with each upgrade and finally does shrapnel but its a little slow.
Ability 2: Antler armor. Antlers grow bigger and he gains a little bit of damage reflection as well as increasing regen slightly (maybe on that last part).
Ability 3: Battle spear. throws spear far but has small hit box.
Ability 4: Fight not Flight. Passive like victor. Enters a state for 15 seconds (increasing with upgrades) when damage is bellow 25% and ult is charged, where damage is increased and uses hatchet fast as hell. Glass cannon esc.
Melee: standard punch.
Heavy melee: cleaves hatchet from left to right.
Passive ability: Mobility makes no sound, so he can be very stealthy, people will not see you on the map even if you're in line of sight of someone, only if he hit them, only seen for 30 seconds between hits. (this is not permenant but I thought it might be interesting)

Hi hello I thought of a few things for this guy.
Again these are just concepts but I like this idea.
First of all he's in his early twenties. Probably 22 ish and he's been in the woods as choice since he was about 16-17.
From probably Tennessee or Virginia area (somewhere around there growing up in a medium sized town).

He has almost no pre-standing issues with anyone as he was in the woods for so long. As such he has no idea who most people are.
Despite how many animals he kills he only sees killing as something needed for survival and he dislikes anyone who hints to doing more than that (IE Drifter and Seven).
He has money at his disposal but he isn't rich although he may offer to use dried meat and food as currency.
He's friendly but he will call people out on being hypocritical or cruel.

He enjoys the scenery of the natural world so he would probably ask Kelvin about the views he saw, he would probably not shy away from asking Drifter or anyone else who travels a lot.
Knowledge of the OSIC is common enough that he'd know about it but not have too strong of opinions.
He knows about Holliday because what happened in Macomb was broadcast over Radio.
He has comradery with Grey Talon because they are both "hunters" and straight to the point.
One interaction I thought he might have with Silver culminates in him going "Well the *woods* don't charge rent, there's all the food you can catch, and you never feel homesick in nature" as kind of a rebutal of being asked why he would choose to not live in a house like a "normal person". He also would probably offer to talk to her about it after the ritual (realistically after she's drunk).

Thought of a few other things.
Given his years in the forests he's become something of a strategist although only for himself because he's alone.
He's an exceptional hunter and a pretty good cook. He'll eat any part of an animal that can be safely cooked over a fire.
As a result of his hunting and cooking he's become quite good at recognizing anatomy and the best places to hit on general targets. (although I doubt this would mean anything to gameplay)

He would probably be curious to know if Ivy is flesh and organs or stone on the inside, although he would likely not ask as to not be rude.
He would probably ask for book recommendations from Paige.
He would almost certainly ask if Seven plans to kill everyone when they become a god.
