The Deep is home to many strange aquatic lifeforms, but it is also host to the unfortunate souls that were lost to the seas overhead. One such spirit has made it to land, searching for it's green and gooey prey.

Backstory: The Mariner has no face, no voice, no hopes or dreams, no desires. He simply hunts. If it moves, may his harpoon pierce its flesh. If it fights, let it bleed out from it's wounds. It's all he knows. One day, he spotted Viscous approaching the surface to participate in the ritual, so he followed. His pray cannot escape his gaze until it has perished. He follows mindlessly, walking down the streets of New York whilst attracting the fearful and confused gazes of those walking by. He tracked Viscous as he toured New York, waiting for the time to strike. He followed him to the site of the ritual, and we will participate for no other reason than to finish his prey.
Design: The Mariner is in a trench coat and flat cap. His pants slide under his fishing boots. His clothing and body are faded blue and sopping wet, almost as if they were made of water itself. His face is washed away, leaving nothing put spiraling water. In the spiral, a spirit inhabiting the head of the body is visible, shining a dim blue light. His body emanates a low blue light, shining brightest at the head where the spirit is. At his side is a large harpoon, donning many fishing lines and hooks with a prominent harpoon head at the end. The rope at the bottom of the harpoon seemingly fades away, showing no clear end to the rope.
In gameplay terms, The Mariner is a long range sniper, capable of dragging enemies in for the kill. His long harpoon range allows him to Reel in his foes from afar, his watery body allowing him to Submerge into the ground and walls, and his Fishing Net being capable of holding foes in place.

Melee: The Mariner swipes at an enemy.
Heavy Melee: The Mariner takes out a knife and delivers a fierce stab
Ability 1: Fishing Net

Ability 3: Reel
Cooldown: N/A
Description: When Mariner's harpoon is stuck into an enemy, you may hold M1 to apply a slight pull, causing you and the enemy to be dragged towards each other. Whoever has the higher movement speed is pulled less and who ever has the least movement speed is pulled more. If an enemy is stationary, only the enemy is pulled. The longer you can pull someone, the more damage your harpoon's DoT will do.
T1: +minimum damage bonus, +maximum damage bonus
T2: When enemy is being pulled by Reel, you are less affected by the pull, allowing you to pull the enemy more efficiently.
T3: The harpoon no longer dislodged immediately upon breaking line of sight. the harpoon remains stuck for 3 seconds before being dislodged.

The ability may be casted on walls and ceilings as well.

T2: Decreased cooldown by 30 seconds
T3: The ability leaves a lingering whirlpool after the initial burst, causing enemies to be pulled towards the center slowly. Lingers for 10 seconds.
The Mariner excels at holding targets down from a great distance away, weakening them for your team to finish them off. With this persistent hunter on your team, may no prey escape you.
