I was mainly interested in the idea of a character having a summonable mount of some sort, so the first thing I thought of was a taxi driver. I thought making him a ghost would be cool since the only other ghost we have is Vindicta, and would also help explain how he pulls a taxi from out of nowhere.
I had two main ideas for how his summon would work, either make it a true summon on abilities 1-4 where he can summon the car and drive around. He can even pick up teammates to ride somewhere and gank another lane. This seems pretty hard to balance though considering the constricted parts of the map not being the ideal place for a car to drive, so either maybe allowing it to fly or phase through walls would be an option. The other way to summon it is simply just having it as his 4, he calls the car in and there's a moderate channeling phase where teammates can catch a ride and the car lifts off into the air, allowing control to drive it down, eventually crashing down and colliding with an area, sort of like Abram's ult.
I haven't really thought out his full kit but my vision for him is that of a roaming support/enabler. One ability concept I like is where he picks a location that is a decent distance away that summons his car in that spot, which rests there for a short while. It acts like a voluntary rescue beam where a teammate can go up to it, get in, and the car drives toward Phantasia, with anybody in between getting hit.
This could either be a really long cooldown standard ability or his ult, where he uses some kind of supernatural influence to make an enemy compliant with driving his car. Phantasia tosses the victim his keys and that person must drive the car to any of the pre-designated spots that are located in several parts of the map, or simply needs to drive the car a certain distance to avoid taking damage, or to avoid paying a toll that ties into the next ability
His 3 would be a stacking passive where he collects tolls/fares. Not exactly sure what it would do but seems thematic so I'll leave this up to whoever to think of. He can be made to collect these tolls from either just gaining souls in general, or from successful hits from his previous ability I mentioned. Maybe he can use what he collects to upgrade and mod out his car, idk.
For his background I wanted him to still retain some memories of his past but still he's not too sure who he is, all he knows is that he's gotta work the cab to pay his own toll, for whatever reason that may be he doesn't know, he just has to do it. I want him to be faceless, not remembering what he used to look like and for that to be tied to his character identity, that's why I came up with the name Phantasia. This could be one of his motivations for why he is seeking help from the patrons. I like to imagine him as having an Italian accent considering the lack of any Italian heroes in the game currently. Also I want him to be a chain smoker, I find the idea of a ghost refusing to quit smoking funny since there's no reason for one to smoke to begin with. Lmk if you fuck with the concept, I'd like to see if anyone has any other cool ideas for how he could play.
