Lore

William Davies grew up in a traveling circus His juggling act - a symphony of pins and knives - left audiences breathless. He was, by all accounts, the best. Until the Great Awakening. The world tilted on its axis. Fairies flitted through tangled hair, and poltergeists replaced clowns as the new source of shrieks. The whimsical charm of the circus, of William's act, paled in comparison to the genuine supernatural. Crowds dwindled, replaced by whispers of spectres and seances.

William refused to fade with the dying gaslights. He devoured every scrap he could find on the Awakening, his nights lit by flickering candlelight and dusty tomes. It was in these late-night explorations that he stumbled upon them - the patrons. Powerful figures who danced with the awakened world, wielding unseen forces like a conductor's baton. Hope flared in William's chest. He envisioned not just survival for the circus, but a spectacle unlike any ever seen. He'd weave the patrons' power into his act, a breathtaking display of human artistry and supernatural might. It would be a show that defied reality, a spectacle that would make even the most jaded New Yorker gasp.

So, William packed his worn juggling pins and gleaming knives, the familiar weight a comfort in this new world. New York City awaited, a canvas begging for his artistry. He wasn't just going to reclaim his place in the spotlight; he was going to redefine what it meant to be a performer in an age of awakened wonders. He was going to put on the greatest show the world had ever known.

Abilities

Auto attack:
William throws knives from his belt to deal damage. 8 starting ammo, but quick reload time. His auto attacks arc towards the ground, and have gravity.

Blade Blitz: William throws all his knives in a cone in front of him, with increased AoE based on his current ammo. More ammo, more AoE. He needs to reload after using this ability.

Anchor Gambit: William throws a knife into the air that roots an enemy when it falls. It takes time for this ability to reach the ground, so it can be easy to avoid.

Knife Juggle: William begins to juggle his knives, increasing his ammo size. When attacking, each hit on a hero provides increased attack speed.

Showstopper: William throws himself into the air and begins floating still. During this time, his clip size is reduced to 6, but each auto attack deals heavily increased damage with no damage falloff or gravity.
