Poison Themed character:
Background:
Hemlock, once known as Amelia Blackthorn, was a promising young alchemist who was recruited by a powerful crime syndicate. They honed her skills in poisons and assassinations, turning her into one of their most feared operatives. However, when Amelia discovered the syndicate's true nature and their involvement in numerous illegal activities and were responsible for countless deaths. When she confronted the syndicate's leaders, they betrayed her, poisoning her with her own creation and leaving her for dead.
Miraculously, Amelia survived, her body adapting to the poisons and granting her a natural immunity. Taking on the name Hemlock, she now seeks to dismantle the syndicate and protect the innocent from the criminal underworld.
Possible names:
Inspiration:
Abilities:
Playstyle:
Hemlock excels at controlling areas and crippling enemies with her poison-based abilities. Her Venom Bomb allows her to create dangerous zones that slow and damage foes, making it easier for her team to engage or disengage. Poisoned Blade grants her a powerful damage-over-time effect on her basic attacks, letting her whittle down enemy health bars while reducing their sustain.
When faced with crowd control or other debilitating effects, Hemlock can use Antidote to cleanse herself and nearby allies, providing a brief window of immunity to reposition or turn the tide of battle. Her ultimate, Plague Mist, is a potent area-denial tool that can devastate enemy teams caught within its radius, making it perfect for initiating teamfights or securing objectives.
To maximize her effectiveness, Hemlock should look to coordinate with her team, using her poisons to weaken enemies before engaging or to cut off escape routes during chases. Her ability to reduce enemy healing also makes her a valuable asset against teams with strong sustain capabilities.
