Concept: An anthropomorphic sheep who is a starry bedtime themed cultist, on a lone quest to start a revelation involving the cosmos, wearing pajama-adjacent clothing alongside a long nightcap looking hood. His weapon is a candle w/ a holder that shoots out wax caused by the small spark of fire

Primary Fire: Flamethrower styled attack where Wick flares out wax from the candle handle

Secondary Fire: Shotgun styled burst forward from Wicks candle

His primary and secondary fire leave out wax on surfaces that persists for 4 seconds

1: Wick consumes all of the wax used from all of his wax attacks in the field, turning it into a cozy bedtime wax sleepwear and granting him an HP shield based on the amount of consumed wax for 6 seconds. Recasting the ability consumes the remaining shield during the duration into health.

2: Wick’s primary fire, secondary fire, and puddles will create stacks onto enemy targets upon being hit by them. Activating the ability while stacked targets (Up to 10 stacks per target) are near Wick’s AOE would cause them to be encased in Starry Wax Beds, effectively stunning them for the duration based on the stack amount. Anyone who hits the wax pillars would stop the stun but would be dealt bonus spirit damage.

3: Wick begins to snore a bit, summoning a sleepy bubble forward. Shooting the bubble with your primary and/or secondary fire increases its radius and explosion damage, stopping in place at max travel distance for 3 seconds if it hasn’t exploded in the duration. Once it is granted a big enough radius next hit from Wicks attacks or recasting the ability would cause it to explode, dealing spirit damage and leaving a puddle of wax in the area.

T3 would cause knockback to enemy targets from the explosion

4: Wick channels for 2 seconds, causing his eyes to glow cosmos and his head to leak out dark blue liquid before blinking into the chosen area in sight, with the crazed starry skies floating around him, dealing constant spirit damage every 0.25 seconds near enemies.
 
This is my 2nd draft of my very first Deadlock hero concept, and this is when I'm starting to create the specifics of the abilities w/ mockups.

Unfortunately, I don't know what the general numbers in this game should be, so I need some general advice before I continue on with these mockups.
 
Dialogue ideas:
Abrams:
"Not to ruin your mood, but why do you look like you're going up on Broadway for a Folktale musical with a get up like that?"

Wick: "They're comfy......"

Abrams: "Aren't you sweating hot in them for a weather like this?"

Wick: "Hot? I didn't even know it's hot..... I think I need an extra pillow for my back though... *Yawn* I do have something a lot more in store for you, just.... let me relax a bit."

Abrams: "Just as when I thought we were going to have a genuine casual conversation, you make it juuuuuuust enough to be confusing again."

Lady Geist: "Are you sleepwalking?"

Wick: *Snooring*

Lady Geist:
"Oh, this is going to be a joyful afternoon..."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wick: "If you weren't that obsessed about becoming some idea towards godhood, I would've been on your side, standing next to you."

Seven: "Really now?"

Wick: "Yes. Hearing one's cries swallowed in the hivemind of a sea of vast hunger..... Is all too familiar for me."

Seven: "Then you know what must be done."

Wick: "Partly. The part two of it also sees on the ordeal involving some form of unhealthy rulership that I didn't believe or signed up for, and you know me better than most others."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ivy: "I'm not going to let you keep getting away with your influence on my family Wick, along with others."

Wick: "Settle your voice down, you are disrupting the lights hiding in this cup."

Ivy: "Yeah, like that ISN'T bullshit."

Wick: "I do believe that you are confusing the need of protecting the intolerance of others, that are seen as tolerance, for needed vigilantism. What a privilege to have of such dangerous ignorance."

Ivy: "I help those in need when those in power fail to do so. You just made it all worse to when it matters."

Patron Lines:

“The world has gone for the worse Wick, complete the ritual and your vision for a better world will be enlightened before everyone’s eyes.”

“Your light is shining brighter than within every wall Wick.”

“You give a guide to others in ways that makes life itself blush.”

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vyper: "Gonna put a Lambwick in ‘em! Get it? Cause he's a lil la- Oh wait th-that would ruin the joke, my bad."

Lash: "Bout to give Wick a reason why Lamb chop is “lashed” served cold."
