Louis : a spirit-focused hero making and catching enemies out of position vertically.
I present you Louis (yes I know his real name is Neil and Louis is the musician, but I found it cuter and a less obvious reference). Louis is a retro‑futuristic astronaut whose design draws inspiration from Hergé’s Explorers on the Moon (protait is a placeholder for thematic insperation). Sporting blond hair, bright blue eyes, and a sleek 1960s spacesuit, he wields a vibrant red, cartoon‑style alien laser pistol. Although he’s conceived as a spirit‑focused hero, his kit leaves room for creative deviations (whether that’s trading spirit blasts for gunfire or bulking up into a disruptive off‑tank).
Lore : In a parallel universe (where Louis broke his trumpet and decided to become an astronaut instead), history’s first moonwalker takes his inaugural step and discovers a strange, sealed tome stamped "Don't let them have it" scrolled in Onyx blood (Abrams’ book). The instant he touches it, a rift tears open, hurling him across dimensions to the chaotic streets of the Cursed Apple. Stranded and desperate, Louis pleads with any Patron who will listen to send him home to his family… all the while haunted by vision of this strange book.
Regarding his gun, I imagine it as a single shot laser gun, kind off similar to geist's revolver. For his Vitality stats I don't know and I am open to any suggestion for both weapon and vitality stats.
I made animated GIFs to better illustrate the several capacities :
1st : Apollo. A rocket that take a 1s second to arm up (think DOTA2 Gyrocopter's homing missile) before launching. Deals damage and knockback relative to where it hit (Body shot knockback behind you, feet shot knockback you in the air, think TF2 Soldier's rocket). Can be recasted to ride the rocket and control its path. This offers long range damage to the hero while granting him mobility he needs for engages.
2nd : Weightlessness. A passive that grant you buffs while in the air. Watch out as less gravity mean slower movement in the air, you can become in exchange for the buff, an easy target !
3rd : Moon Lift Off. His main knockup ability (watch out, enemies are not stunned, simply thrown into the air). When maxed can becomes a buff ability also.
4th : Back to Earth. Punish flying and in the air enemies. Can combo with 3 and 1. Enemies already to the ground recieve barely any damage and a stun, whereas enemies in the air recieve big damage and (the same) stun.
Typical gameplay loop :
