“Checkmate.”
Draco has a mind for strategy and an addiction to firepower. However by now he’s an old fart that has too much love for vintage stuff, so he’s retired from the military. Unfortunately, his pension doesn’t pay enough for him to keep up his extravagant lifestyle, so he decided to go to mercenary work to pay the bills.
Since he’s such a cold-blooded killer, Draco loves being out in the sun. So much so in fact that he comes equipped with a solar-powered generator that makes his abilities recharge faster. He also has a full-blown algae farm on his back, and he gives out fuel cells that support classes can pick up to recharge their healing and ammunition abilities.
“Napoleon won countless battles because he knew every resource was valuable. I follow his practice.”
Draco also comes with a powerful explosive gauntlet that is capable of taking out enemies in melee range, and can cause dents in vehicles and objectives.
Draco is a sniper class that comes equipped with SMGs as secondaries, and has heavier melee weapons.
But he has a very clear weakness: he actually needs those weapons to survive. He can’t take a lot of damage and is very slow-moving.
So, with all that information in your head, here’s what the character’s stats look like.
Draco
HP: 90
Speed: 385
Primary Weapons: FEL-IX, MOA, PDP
Secondary Weapons: KEK-10, SMG-9, Hollunds 880
Melee Weapons: Kukri, Katana, Cricket Bat
Q Ability: Explosive Gauntlet
Deals 150 damage in an explosive blast with the same range as a melee weapon. 40% of the ability’s cooldown is returned when it deals damage to an objective.
Cooldown: 25 seconds. Counts as an explosive ability.
E Ability: Algae Canister
What does it do when picked up: Makes support abilities recharge twice as fast until their stack is increased 3 times or is full. Can’t be picked up by anything that doesn’t have a support ability.
Cooldown: 15 seconds. Counts as a support ability. Stack limit 3.
Passive: Vitamin D
When out in the sun, Draco’s abilities recharge 1.25 times as fast. (cooldowns become 0.8 times as long)
“Quite the salty dog, aren’t you?”
Driftwood was a stereotypical Somalian pirate that went into the mercenary service when the market opened up. A lot of his friends followed suit, and died in an appropriately gruesome fashion. Regardless of which, Driftwood went under Draco’s wing, seeking advice and becoming great friends. Unlike Draco, Driftwood prefers a much more personal approach with a close range suite, and an objective-oriented ability.
Driftwood prefers to be on the front lines with lightweight firepower under his belt. This made him prefer shotguns and personal defense weapons, which suit his needs a lot more easily.
Driftwood, unlike Draco, has a long-ranged explosives kit, coming from his experience in a more naval environment. He uses a vertically-firing missile launcher that can be remote-controlled to hit an area from the sky.
He decided to take Draco’s algae fuel technology and use it for his own purposes as well, but doesn’t carry the whole algae farm on his back because he views it as unnecessary weight. Pirates have to travel light after all.
With that information here’s the character’s stats.
Driftwood
HP: 110
Speed: 420
Primary Weapons: Blishlock, Hochfir, SMG9, Hustall 2K
Secondary Weapons: Remburg 7, Ahnuhld-12, Hollunds 880, Crotzni
Melee Weapons: Kukri, Batons, Naginata
Q Ability: Corsair Wing
Driftwood activates a drone on his back, launching it into the sky, and dropping it onto a group of enemies, dealing tons of explosive damage. Driftwood opens up the minimap and chooses a location before firing his drone. His ability can only be activated outside and only touch down from the air. It deals as much damage as an Arty barrage.
Cooldown: 18 s, stack limit 1
E Ability: Algae Canister
What does it do when picked up: Makes support abilities recharge twice as fast until their stack is increased 3 times or is full. Can’t be picked up by anything that doesn’t have a support ability.
Cooldown: 15 seconds. Counts as a support ability. Stack limit 3.
The naginata has the Cricket Bat’s range but the same mobility as the Beckhill Combat Knife. The downside is that the whip doesn’t deal a lot of damage, having the stiletto’s light strike damage and fire delay, and the beckhill’s heavy strike damage and fire delay.
