I will admit, I am not overly knowledgeable of the lore of Deadlock, just from snippets of dialogue, so forgive me on that front. Once more, I am not the best when it comes to designing kits. However, I have a pretty good idea of Character designs in my head and how they might work. They are inspired somewhat from Viking beliefs and customs.
Warlord and Berserker are two separate characters, but they share a similar backstory. They are both Ixians. A sort of icy-pale skinned pair of Ixians. Their names are Sivia and Erak, and they are warriors through and through.
Sivia wields a two handed axe and a shotgun. Similarly to Billy she runs around with the two handed axe slung over her shoulders, holding it with one hand, while her other hand carries the shotgun. She will hook the axe onto the zipline when riding it around. Her shotgun reload is simply tossing the shotgun aside and a new one forming into her hand.
Sivia is tall, and has well defined musculature, adopting a punk-rock style outfit. She comes across as cold, unfeeling, but in a scrap, she quickly gets into the feeling of the fight, reveling in battle. Her hair is white and most likely in a sort of war braid (Think Viking-esque), perhaps wearing some sort of fishnets with jeans and thick boots. A spiked jacket to really sell the punk look. Her eyes are blue and horns twin, and curved viciously.
Erak wields twin axes, they are his ranged weapons as each swing sends out a diagonal slash of ice (Basically think to how Apollo's strikes send out those weird energy wave things, same concept, same damage, its gun damage). Reloading his axes ranged attack, he simply wrings his axes out to his side, sending out a cosmetic blast of ice out of both behind him. Erak is tall, with broad shoulders and a muscular design. His hair is wild and unkempt, with maybe a few braids in it. He's got a square jaw with some vicious looking tusk. His skin could be a similar icy-blue as Sivia. His design is more of a back alley thug when it comes to clothes. Tanktop, loose pants, some chains, akin to Mo.
Erak may seem ferocious, but he is quite a jolly, friendly fellow. He just likes a good scrap, good drink, and good friends to share in the telling of tales of all the good fights they've been in, or all the good drinks they've had together. He goes into a bit of a frenzy whenever in combat, even drooling a bit at thought of the next fight.
Sivia and Erak are sister and brother, but often times they end up fighting amongst themselves, as all siblings do, yet they still care for each other... as siblings do.
What they want from the Patron is... questionable. Sivia desires her own lands to rule over, her motivation to seek power so that she may claim Ixia for herself. Erak has simpler desires, he seeks eternal conflict, an eternal battlefield where he may fight forever to his heart's content (And take breaks for good food and drink of course!) Their goals are somewhat mismatched which can lead to their conflict with one another.
Ability-wise... I'm having trouble of thinking of abilities that aren't similar to what already exists in Deadlock. Perhaps others might help me brainstorm some ideas for ability kits for these two?
I do have a few ideas for Erak.
Axe Toss - Erak throws both of his axes out in a wide Arc. The ^ is him, the () would be his axes throwing arc. (^) They damage enemies as they fly through this arc, and if they strike an enemy at the intersection of where they cross in their arcs they will stun for 1.5 seconds.
Bloody Lunge - Erak lunges forward, swinging both axes in an outward arc. If he hits an enemy hero he gains attack speed for 8 seconds, while inflicting bleed on the enemy. This bleed effect siphons life and gives it to Erak. He can hit multiple heroes with this ability.
That's about it so far. Thoughts, Ideas, comments?
