[Hero] Fracture

[amon]

This is a design I was messing with with my friend Ulsae who did the drawings.

The idea is that she was a miner who had an unfortunate incident around an Astral Gate when it popped up in New York. It destroyed her body and caused rapid growth of crystals to form from her body.

I'm gonna be honest. I'm not a writer, and I couldn't implement half of the abilities I thought were a good idea well into the game as a mod. I just really liked making this design in Blender and maybe figured it'd be fun to crowdsource the ideas from the community.

One of the ideas I had for her abilities was to place a shootable crystal that silences in an AOE. Another idea was that she could form crystals around her enemies by shooting at them with a very long build-up. I based the mod around using Bebop's laser weapon for that idea. And finally, for her ultimate, I thought it would be fun to take the full weregolem concept into full effect by transforming her fully into stone.

So, by all means, please feel free to throw your ideas in the thread for abilities, lore, other character interactions, etc, and hopefully Valve would consider taking these concepts in mind.

my humble attempt at a backstory



Fracture

The Appalachias, old giants, are filled with many treasures who are only waiting for the daring to collect; ginseng, pelts and precious gems and minerals all awaiting anyone brave enough to claim them. But those ancient hills are home to many curses, strange magic and creatures stopping any crawl civilisation might have on them.

Born in a small company town in North Carolina, Debbie Cooper was prepared from birth to face adversity and the harsh reality of nature. Nature being this impenetrable force of life, she knew it was in her own nature to work in the Dewber's Amethyst Mine like her father and grandfather before.

One day however, everything that could go wrong, went wrong : one of the spirit charges used to blow up the earth's mantle exploded prematurely, trapping her under the hills. Nobody would expect anyone to survive such a crushing weight, but against all odds, Debbie did. As she was pulled out from the debris, everyone was shocked at what they were seeing. It was like her own body was made out of the very mountains they had been exploiting.

Being a living and breathing geode would push Debbie into questioning her own nature. With Ma and Pa burried in the company's cemetary however, she would have to contact powerful entities to find any answers to the questions she might hold.
