Daredevil
Lore
The Daredevil is a maniacal stuntman who soars across the sky with reckless abandon. A thrill seeker from a young age he joined up with the local circus hoping to captivate audiences with his death defying stunts. However his act much like his name were forgotten by most as the supernatural began to take center stage.

On one fateful day after another lackluster performance the aspiring Daredevil met with a "fan" who made him an offer he couldn't refuse, the ability to perform the most dangerous, most insane stunts anyone had ever seen via the gift of immortality. However this gift came with a curse, unimaginable pain. The Daredevil could feel everything, every crushing impact from a 100ft drop, the roaring inferno of a fire pit and worse still the pain would never subside. The pain drove him insane with his only release being the adrenaline rush he gets from larger and more elaborate stunts.


The Daredevil has entered the Cursed Apple and the ritual with the hope that maybe the Patrons might finally break his curse and allow him to die, in one final blaze of glory.

Weapon
The Boomstick
An old taped together elephant gun that Daredevil has loaded with an assortment of explosives. Likely to fall apart as it has many times before. Capable of firing infrequent but impactful explosive shrapnel rounds.

Addendum
So I don't know how to balance in terms of boons and stuff.

This character originally started out as a motor cross stuntman, the idea being his gun was an old bike engine that he would shove with scrap and would be slotted into a phantom motorbike with his ult. That felt a bit too much like Ghostrider but I liked the idea of his gun just being shoved full of random crap. So he evolved into a Stuntman focused around explosives and blasting himself around the map.

His 1st ability might be familiar to some and that's because it's styled after the Bazaar Bargain RPG from TF2. The idea in this case being the amount of rockets he loads (and therefore damage) he deals scales with the amount of charges he spends. This paired with the self knockback allowing for a similar more complex style of rocket jumping to the Bazaar Bargain.

His ult is a reworked version of Wreckers ult because the idea of driving yourself into the enemy team and exploding was absolutely hilarious. Launching yourself out of a cannon is the natural escalation of that. I didn't include it here because it might've been too much but to double down on it his ult could've possibly been significantly stronger but cause Daredevil to kill himself upon impact. Like Techies used to work basically.
