HI, To establish now, THIS IS HIM

So this isn't seen as spam or anything, I CHANGED A LOT!


For instance uh- he didn't have thos coooool shoulder pads!

Also I have many many more assets and such

For a now desc before much else, Manic is a tanky psycho, designed to be indipendant, and able to handle large scale fights and force people to bunch up, and take in as much attention as possible. His abilities are designed to encourage hitting multiple people, or soaking up as much damage as possible, hopefully making him a viable person to do things such as perform 1v2s, and distract enemy teams, allowing him to do great damage with ally support.

I intended to emphasize some form of uniqueness via having him as best possible emulate a real slasher movie in which the best way to fight him is to steer clear and stay out of his way as much as possible, as well as making things such as his presence and ult loud, allowing enemy heors to prepare or attempt to flee from an altercation with him.
Yes, his primary weapon sucks, that is the point. He has okay burst, but past that his hatchets are only intended on being upgraded via builds for things such as slowing bullets or maybe gap closers to get into better melee

DIALOGUES:
He wouldn't talk much, man of few words. Most people think of him as a monster, or a danger, and so he doesn't tend to speak.

Revanent:
"*Groan*"
"*assertive grunt*"
"Ow..."
Desperation-
"That- Hurt?"
"Be-... afraid- *pant* BE VERY AFRAID!"
"It's... funny... how much ammo you waisted."

SHOOT ME AGAIN!!:
"HAHAHAHAAaaa..."
"THAT ONE HIT MY HEART!!"
"You really don't know who I am do you-"
Desperation-
"STOP!! STOP STOP!"
"I NEVER SAID WE WERE DONE!!"
"RUN- *Grunt* OR DIE!"

Broad Swing:
"Go..."
"We're done here..."
"*snorts*"
Desperation-
"ENOUGH!"
"I'LL MAKE YOU BLEED"
"*Cackling*"

DISEMBOWEL:
"I NEVER SAID WE WERE DONE!!"
"Dog will hunt!"
"Come closer, it'll be easier for you than it was for Hunter."
Desperation-
"Get- Back- HERE!!"
"Here's MANIC!"
"You'll like your new face!"

MANIA:
"*Chuckle*"
"RUMRUMUMUMBBMBUMBUM- RUMBUMBUMBUM- (Yes, saying it out loud)"
"Always so loud."
Desperation-
"HEH! HAH! AHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAH!"
"STUPID PIECE OF FUCKIN-"
"For Hunter-"


Lore:
Growing up in a southern town of Bandera Texas, in the 1860s, 2 boys were born on the same moon, Bucky, and Hunter, their parents being Caroline, and Jacky
Buck and Hunter, born together and inseperable. They had little in terms of ability to be social so they both only really had eachother as true friends. They would go to school together, do their homework together, make food together, and above all else they never lied to eachother. Every secret they ever had was shared and they always kept the other one from being caught.

One day, they were 19 and the parents had left home for a couple days. A scream from the kitchen. Buck came sprinting out and found hunter, bleeding out on the floor, his neck erupting blood upon the linolium. Desperately he tried everything he could, he had tried to do anything possible and from there he bled out.

He sobbed, he never knew what to do about it and was totally lost. He screamed and woke the neighbors. The sherrif was called and from there he was arrested. There were no signs of a struggle from outside, the doors had no evidence, and for what the town knew, the 2 loner boys got into a fight and one killed the other.

He was held within the cell for 3 days, and his eyes lit up with hope upon his parent's return. His heart decided to race him to his own grave as it sunk below himself when they agreed to the hanging, he was found guilty.

He was hung that night and burried in a distant unmarked wooden box.

As the blood was cut from his head and his body was put into shock, he, with his last choked gasp, uttered a curse to his family, to those who betrayed him, and above all else, the one who killed his dear brother...

It was dark for a while... a long while... until... something- his... nose, it itched and then- something poking into his back, a rock maybe?

He erputed from his rotten coffin, from the lowest point of his shallow grave he ripped himself from the earth, the mealstrom had given him new life- and he intends to use it.
End:

His presence in the ritual is dedicated to essentially killing as many people like seven or drifter as possible, as well as hoping to find and get his brother's killer if they are by some means alive.

I originally had a more muted color pallette but went with a more vibrant and noticable orage for the same reason I went with a solid glowing red for eyes, noticing them. He is designed to draw attention and so I am drawing him with the intention of being easy to see and thus eye catching (Same reason for fire axe, it's big, and red). The darker leg tones are so the body and head are more eye catching, allowing for hopefully more consistent shots to those regions.
His face is brutally messed up behind the sack so he keeps it one, people can smell the rotting meat which hurts his ability to hide.

I intended on hi always having the axe out aside from the ult, draging it along the floor.

His design is heavily inspired by Jason Voorhees, as well as Micheal Meyers.

The poster is also a reference to a Friday the 13th poster, as well as the movie Cabin Fever

Multiple of his dialogues are ripped from horror movies and slasher films.

When in doubt, make it a horror reference
