Character name: Plague Doctor Charles Paracelsus. Dr. C.Paracelsus
Inspirations:
Plague doctor mask, with a ranged musket, made a hybrid to fire venom cartridges. Vibe is a doctor obsessed with weaponising venom.
Dota2 Inspiration:
Venomancer, Witch Doctor.
Lore:
In the early 1500s, Charles was a genius doctor who cured a global plague by creating a hybrid reptile. Using a combination of crow beaks, bloodworms, poison ivy, snake skin, and other radiation-emitting chemicals that haven’t been disclosed. The hybrid reptile was soon named “plague worms” and had a valuable new genetic makeup that allowed Charles to extract a strand of DNA that would cure the plague in humans.
Some called him a genius of our time, others felt he was a monster creating freaks of nature and needed to be stopped. A hired assassin attacked Charles in his lab, and he tried to fight back with the assassin, soon grabbing a vial of poison from the desk and hitting it across his face. Then delivering the final blow and left before torching the place from the outside.
Charles laid there moments from his death, feeling the heat from the fire, and the solution seeping into his eyes, entering his bloodstream. The poison that was in the vial was a concentrated substance he was trialling to enhance human strength and recovery. Whilst that effect didn't take place, all of a sudden, he could hear his Plague worms talking to him, telling him to get up, but he couldn’t move. Glasses started smashing around him as the worm glasses dropped to the ground and rushed towards Charles to protect their creator. An explosion went off and Charles awoke to sitting in the tree line, lab on fire in the distance and a mirror in hand, horrified what he had become.
