A Fate's Tale -

For young delinquents in New York, the pursuit of street cred leads them to use magic in bizarre ways. Tag is no different, and her favorite form of magic is to summon impossible colors from eldritch realms in order to create graffiti that nobody can ignore. And anyone who tries to erase it is in for a nasty surprise when it comes alive. There is one problem, she is slowly being dragged into the eldritch 2-dimensional realm and phasing out of the third dimension. While she couldn't care less about getting kicked out of the house for her strange new looks, the prospect of being stuck as graffiti forever has led her to seeking the Patrons' help.

gun - lead paint - medium range burst fire
primary fire - sprays paint as 'firing the gun' and magic bolts in the cloud represent the 'bullets'.
alt fire - 'fan the hammer' by briefly dual wielding and pumping your remaining mag in quick succession.

Concept is cool, especially the ult, but you're moving through ideas too fast to get any meaningful feedback

easier to read version with custom icons to reflect intended gameplay, this hero very aggressively pushes forward and plays most similarly to void spirit with the 3 'color clique' being a remixed dissimilate and an ultimate version of void remnant. late game this hero can dominate the map with vision. the first two spells are meant to provide a very good gameplay loop where you paintball an enemy to blind them like the mario kart squid and slow them down until they are silenced and easy to shoot.


more period appropriate columbia university uniform covered in mendoza syndicate graffiti, meant as a character that would be a direct antagonist to ivy being someone around her age vandalizing and robbing spanish harlem for the mendoza syndicate, and also provides another punk character similar to billy.
