Loss
Lore:
Gary Baxhalt, son to the late Jeremy Von Baxhalt, was in the midst of a streak of bad luck. He recently had lost his job and he had to spend his savings on doctors appointments in an attempt to save his father from a previously incurable disease. He was soon to be evicted from his home due to having nothing to fall back on. Seeking guidance, he went out to commune with his late father through illegal summoning rituals. After three failed attempts, one of Gary's neighbors reported him to the police. In a desperate attempt to commune once more, he boarded up the door to his home and tried again. Then, on the fourth attempt, a figure, not known to Gary yet gives off a familiar aura, appears to him. It's the Grim Reaper. Gary pleaded with the specter to let him speak to his father one last time, as what he was seeking was menial in the grand scheme of things. Although Death agreed, he tells Gary that even he has limits and rules that he must abide by, and came to the compromise that Gary becomes a guider of souls alongside the Grim Reaper, and eventually he can speak to his father again. Gary accepts, and, reborn as Loss, attends to the souls that he come across. The deal never specified how the souls are gathered, however...

T2: -45s Cooldown
T3: +10% Fire Rate Increase, 10% Bullet Lifesteal
I really liked the idea of a character who manipulated souls in a unique way because I feel like the idea of souls is a unique enough currency system that it can be played around with. This could be really OP but I think the idea itself is there and I wanted to present it.
