Concept- Porcelynn
Visuals
Porcelynn is a haunted doll, possessed by a spirit/ghost; she is more in the ceramic/porcelain ornamental style of a doll
As a doll, she would be the smallest hero within the current cast so far (unless another small hero gets added soon, who knows
)
The best thing I can think of in terms of a weapon for her would be a small knife that she swings and sends out a diagonal slash projectile (in addition, you could make the projectile have a slightly higher damage in the immediate vicinity to suggest that the knife is making contact, but this isn't necessary, just thought it might be a nice detail,
When she reloads the knife (lol), she can sharpen it/wipe it off on her other arm (I envision her body to be ceramic/porcelain, so she wouldn't hurt herself with the knife)
There is room for additional ideas for abilities, as so far I only have two ideas, a passive and an ultimate
Passive- Magic Circle
(with active component)
Firstly, the passive gives Porcelynn Spirit power + a tiny amount of spirit damage per bullet
Secondly, the Magic Circle can be activated to choose an area for Porcelynn to haunt. A circular area will grow out from the spot where Porcelynn uses the active (starting fast but slowing down as it gets larger) to a maximum size, and the effects from the passive will now be granted to her allies who stand within the radius of the domain. The domain will also have an opposite negative effect, reducing the enemy's spirit power. When Porcelynn leaves her Magic Circle, the passive returns to its normal variant, which only affects her with a small cooldown before she can build a Magic Circle again.
This ability could also be used to give her other abilities supplements when used on enemies within her circle.
I believe it would also be better if the circle could only be seen by an enemy once they've stepped into it
(This ability is somewhat my take on a version of Broodmother's webs from Dota)
Ultimate- Play pretend
In a big aoe around her, she sends a wave of darkness out that, for a very brief window, reduces enemy vision (similar to Drifters but only for like a second). Any enemy hit by the wave will have their model changed to one of a random hero that is on Porcelynn's Team (only the enemy team will see this visual model change). If an enemy is to hit a fellow teammate with an altered visual with an attack (be it bullet damage or spirit damage), then that enemy will take a large hit of spirit damage, and the visual illusion will be removed
can be upgraded later to make the person shooting their teammate also take the damage
For her additional abilities, I don't have any strong ideas as of yet. I thought maybe something that makes her ragdoll would be funny (due to the whole doll thing) maybe it could be to dodge stuff, but not 100%
Hope anyone who reads likes the ideas!
