Rocket-powered wheelchair

[trackpadchad]

This idea came to me when someone asked me if Deadlock could run DOOM: What if there was a character that had reduced vertical mobility in exchange for expanded ground movement? I love viscous' boulder ability, but it's left me hungering for more.

Here's the rundown of some spitball ideas for the concept:

• Unique rocket boost dash that allows for acceleration when held, at the cost of draining stamina
• If rocket boost being tied to stamina is too complicated, then overheating the rockets will make you explode, damaging yourself and enemies.
• Sliding replaced with drifting (very important)
• Double jump replaced with weak rocket boost? Hold boost to slow descent and/or reduce drag
• Increased gravity
• Abilities that scale off momentum similar to slimeball

Obviously, an actual rocket-powered wheelchair would be a crude character design. Something a tad bit more in-line with the game's art style would be to turn them into The Chariot
