INTRO: So one of the few types of fire arms that have not been added into the game which I think would be cool is a grenade launcher. I know Venator has it as an ability but there is no dedicated character in the game that takes advantage of having a grenade launcher and can take advantage of having to angle their shots at certain degrees to hit targets. Also since Valve is leaning on Vampires one of the few archetypes I find that would be cool is a Malkavian type vampire who speaks in tongues, every character in the game is very straightforward and we really don't have many unhinged psychopaths outside of Drifter either. So without letting this intro last too long let me get into the lore first.
LORE: Before Mcginnis was the head of the Fairfax engineering branch there was Bartholomew J. Esquire a man who made breakthroughs and set the ground work for why Fairfax was a household name in New York. His passion knew no boundes often crossing over into unethical categories.
Maximillian Fairfax was fond of Bartholomew often praising him for his bleeding edge breakthroughs but even he had to put guard rails on Bartholomew's unending thrist for technological breakthroughs when he learned of the nuclear bomb project he planned on testing on the civilian population. Despite the disapproval of Maximillian Fairfax, Bartholomew launched the bombs on the unsuspecting civilians damaging the reputation of the Fairfax brand and ultimately leading to Fairfax industries to completely distance themselves and scrubing his name off anything to do with Fairfax.
Esquire, now was facing legal charges from the federal court of America for his wanton actions became on the run from the law. He would spend years alone in confinement talking to anyone and keeping a distance from most people. This isolation would drive him insane and slowly he started to change to something supernatural, he was no longer man and would often prey upon the homeless to sustain his apetite. Eventually he would become known in the criminal underground of New York as "Joker" dealing weapons to anyone for the right price. Some notable patreons of his would be Wraith, Mo and Krill and Vyper. Everyone know of Joker and he became the main source through which the underbelly of New York operated. Even the troubador acknowledged him and with his new found vigor he joins the ritual for his revenge against Maximilian Fairfax.
KIT:
MELEE: His melee weapon of choice will be a crowbar a subtle nod to the Half-Life series
GUN: His gun as said before will be a grenade launcher that will scale with spirit where as you gain more spirit your grenades blast radius increases. He would also benefit from items like titanic mag and fire rate because he would initially start out with a 6 nades and a relatively slow fire rate. This will help to fill out his 4.8k orange spike too.
STAMINA:Joker is a relatively immobile character that outside of his ult has no movement abilities so I think he should only have 2 stamina making it easier to counter play his lock down nature
1)Bazooka: Joker grabs a Bazooka and launches 3 homing projectiles that when they land do spirit damage on the target. At tier 2 this projectile gains significant increased range and time to hit the target and at tier 3 it grants a stun on the target. This ability respects line of sight similar to Wraith cards
2)Drone Strike: Joker becomes stationary and launches a drone similar to Grey Talon ult that explodes upon contact, at Tier 1 it just explodes dealing spirit damage at Tier 2 it stuns and at Tier 3 it stuns and silences enemies for 3 secs.
3)Smoke bomb: Joker launches a bomb that blinds the enemy if they get caught in its range. At tier 1 it only blinds enemies allowing Joker a way to escape. At tier 2 it gains a DoT effect and at tier 3 the DoT effect is increased and it gains anti-heal
4)Motorcycle: Joker goes on his motorcycle and begins to drive down the map at tier 1 the motorcycle ability is just an escape tool at tier 2 the motorcycle gains significant range and can grab opponents and at tier 3 he can grab both enemy and ally with even more increased range
I think his main purpose will be a lock down character allowing the team with him to have better teamfight around urn and mid boss objectives. Here is some concept art I had. I think he would be a really cool character and we got no grenade launcher gun that other games like Overwatch has in Junkrat and Squirrel Girl in Rivals. @Yoshi please read and add character, thanks.
