Vera
Vera leans towards support playstyle; Able to reduce enemy damage output with her passive, grant barrier and replicate buffs with an ally, root singular enemies as well as extend buff durations while shortening debuff durations and denying area with her ultimate.Background
"Vera has always had a love for nature and plants. She runs a small plant store in New York buying, growing and selling exotic plants from around the world. Her affinity for plants isn't just a hobby, it's her life; Vera is a dryad bonded with an enchanted tree which has been planted and hidden in New Jersey for decades. This has been the source of her power to control plants and is also what keeps her alive; If the tree was to be destroyed, she herself would die along with it."
"For the past fifteen years, her tree has been under a threat by Fairfax Industries due to excessive disposal of spiritual waste and aggressive expansion towards the area her tree resides in. For now she has been able to stave off any troublemakers by herself, but hearing rumors of new and "powerful" weapons developed by Fairfax's R&D department, she fears her powers may not be enough to keep them away for long and Fairfax quite definitely won't be negotiating."
Some relations with the current characters;
McGinnis; Vera hates McGinnis to the fullest extent for obvious reasons.
Mo & Krill; Vera buys pottery from Mo & Krill. Vera adores Mo's pottery.
Kelvin; Kelvin has gifted few exotic plants to Vera in the past, including Ixian plants.
Viscous; Viscous loves the plants Vera has because it reminds him of his home.
Primary - Homegrown Thorn Whip
A new and unique "Latch on" type of primary weapon.
It's a little similar to Graves' primary, though doesn't have 100% auto-aim and has slightly longer range. You'll first need to hit an initial shot which will need aiming. When hit, the weapon will deal a small burst of weapon damage and latch onto the enemy hit where it will then continually damage them for as long as you have ammo, line of sight, range and have a concept of the enemy direction (Little exaggeration; as much aiming as Graves)
Fire rate buffs increase the speed at which the whip damages while it is latched.
Express Shot is not available. Don't think anyone will be bothered by it anyway.
Tapping the primary fire works well for maximizing weapon damage (if you can hit consistently), while holding it works well when proccing debuffs such as Vera's passive.
