Bicycle

Draft
HP: 110
Speed: 500 (greater than Aura and Sparks btw)

Gender: Female
Role: Assault

(Q) Ability 1: Blackfrost Grenade
Draft throws a cocktail of liquid nitrogen and gelling agent to create a field of black ice wherever it lands. This ice preserves momentum of any person that walks into it, thus hindering mobility for that player. When the player moves at full velocity out of the ice field they would be affected as if they were recovering from a long jump.

Black ice also prevents jumping, doubles fall damage, and cuts fall damage distance requirements in half. You’d be lucky to not outright die if you land in the stuff.

(E) Ability 2: Bicycle Ride
Draft’s speed can increase to her maximum potential but at the cost of both accuracy and control, as her means of mobility also is altered by her momentum and there is also the fact that she can’t jump in this state. However, she would be able to carry another merc, regardless of their size or base mobility, on the back seat.

An ally that wants to take a ride on the bicycle has to press F when near the seat. In this mode they are restricted to only using their secondary weapon until they get off the bicycle, which they could do when they press F again.

Both Draft and her passenger can attack enemies via their sidearms, and sidearm mobility isn’t a factor in how fast the bicycle goes. However, Draft’s ability to shoot enemies is restricted in the same matter as a mounted MG, where she can’t shoot enemies that are behind her. The ally is however unaffected.

(Passive) Ability 2: Down Time
Draft reloads both her primary and her secondary at the same time.

Primaries:
Blishlock
Hochfir
SMG-9

Secondaries:
HK MK23
Colt
M9

Melee weapons:
Light stuff. Only light stuff.
Someone came up with an incredibly horrible scenario involving this class that I think should be prevented.

Not bad.
A bit “thrown togather”, but its ok.
But first off bicycles dont belong in the battle field.
Second how do you reload two guns at the same time???
Third what are the specs of both of the new pistols?
What is her speed off the bike?
Please include more info next suggestion.
Also I would like to point out that her health is to low for assault espessially because her ability is weak in every situation except while delivering the obj, in which case she will be extreamly OP.
Also how do you control the bike and shoot?
With which keys?
And she needs better weapons as well for assault.

The Bicycle is meant to bring characters like Rhino closer to the objective after spawning.

The reload two guns gimmick is so that this character could fight to a better degree than most support classes could without their abilities, alongside the massive speed and way above-par health for that speed.

The speed of the bike is as high as her base speed. The only advantage the bike has is it allows slower characters like Rhino to come closer to the objective at the cost of combat ability.

This support ability is definitely not a recon, FS, medical, or engineer ability so all I have is assault.

The bike has normal movement keys, it just has “no jumping/crouching” and “pressing a key only applies acceleration to reach max speed” attached.

[spoiler]And to be honest, carrying around a bicycle, an SMG, pistols and knives with enough body armor to tank damage is a lot of weight. Doing that with Aura/Sparks speeds and above leaves you with…

Finally if you are wondering what the two other weapons are, they’re the real life models of the light pistol assortment in DB, assuming of course that those weapons aren’t actually bad chinese knock-offs.

No. I’m not having a bicycle mercenary. Like, if you’re being serious you need help.


(Brycko) #5

Somebody’s been playing to much Heroes and Generals.


(JJMAJR) #6

It’s actually Pokemon.


(JJMAJR) #7

Okay, added a legitimate grenade, and increased health. Still gimmicky as usual.


(Naonna) #8

Please… both @JJMAJR and @Bushwanker can you guys remember what game this is? This isn’t that complex to consider: DB isn’t looney tunes.


(BushWanker) #9

wait, it isnt?


(JJMAJR) #10

If you were talking about the flavor of the game, please consider the fact that these abilities could be justified to be sci-fi and whatnot.

If you are talking about the ability though, I’d like to say that I’m trying to make something extremely gimmicky work. It’s like trying to make an ability like Pyro’s airblast or something similar in this game. It’s supposed to be a character that takes a lot of time to master.

-_- is this whole bloody thing serious ? you know your good and all when it comes to criticizing other mercs suggestions but when it comes to making your own it’s outright the worst


(BushWanker) #12

@memorableCarrot it was a joke.


(JJMAJR) #13

Most of the essence of this thread is experimentation, but I really didn’t expect any of this to take off.


(Your worst knifemare.) #14

Imagine how unfair and cruel it would be to really have a Rhino literally flying across the map


(JJMAJR) #15

To be fair, losing a player for that seems to be a poor trade.
