I have devised 2 roles for Beebee - Assault or Objective Specialist.
PROFILE
Once a pilot in an war-memorial airplane demonstration team, Beebee was obsessed with flying. She had amazing skills and was recognized throughout her region as a capable pilot. She was approached by scientist from her national space exploration organisation. She was recruited, and was given permission to fly to space after a year of training. Beebee was fascinated by all the technology and spent many hours mastering everything she could lay her hands on. “She probably spends at least 3 hours a day on that jet-pack over there”, her supervisor said. Unfortunately, the organisation was disbanded when the bombs landed. Beebee took what she could and ran, snatching the jet-pack.
QUOTE IDEAS
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
“You know I’m an expert at multitasking when I can pilot this jet-pack and shoot you in the face at the same time”
“Lift off!”
“One small step for man, and a giant clip of bullets for you”
ABILITIES + EXPLANATION
Primary: Jet-pack - Activate to raise off the ground in the direction you are facing. My idea of this jet-pack is that you can float to quite a height but not too quickly (at the speed of walking). This is to make her a little vulnerable in the air to not make it overpowered. It also opens up a whole bundle of new routes for players to take. The cooldown on this could be similar to Phoenix’ Healing Pulse (the longer you use it the longer it is used, the longer the cooldown).
Secondary: Kevlar Padding - My 2 thoughts are either a damage absorbing ability (like Phantom’s Refractive Armour) OR Kevlar Padding can be thrown down to give teammates a small amount of damage absorption. This can slightly counter her vulnerability whilst in the air and can give teammates an edge when in battle (NOT STACK-ABLE)
STATS
Assault
Health 120
Sprint 390
Arm 5s
Diffuse 8s
Explanation - She has reasonable health as expected from an assault class, but not too much other wise the Kevlar Padding will make her overpowered. She will be slightly slower than Skyhammer as she will be carrying around a bulky jet-pack around. Average Arm/Diffuse.
Objective Specialist
Health 105
Sprint 395
Arm 3s
Diffuse 5s
Explanation - She has a little less health as she expected to be hardcore front lines, and of course she still has her Kevlar Padding. A little faster sprint just because she has to rush to those objectives. Arm/Diffuse is lower as expected from an Objective Specialist.
WEAPONS
Primary
SMG-9, BR-16, K-121
OR
SMG-9, Blishlok, Hollunds 880 (who wouldn’t feel bad ass being a jet-pack riding shotgun using beast!)
Secondary
Simeon .357, DE .50, M9
Melee
Beckhill Combat Knife, Cricket Bat, Katana (How sick would that be!)
OUTFIT
-A white safety helmet (don’t want to hurt yourself)
-Black Kevlar vest
-Red Kevlar jeans (just to look cool)
-Moon Boots
Nationality - Scottish (maybe just an idea)
OTHER IDEAS
Sniper - the reason I didn’t choose a sniper class is because the jet-pack probably wouldn’t be as useful unless you liked making “mlg jet-pack no-scoping scrubs” montages.
Explosives - I feel that if Beebee had grenades it would be rather over powered because of the ease of which you could get and angle that would be other wise impossible to get to.
Medic - medpacks dropping from the air just doesn’t seem as practical to me, although dropping down to revive someone could feel pretty awesome.
I hope you enjoyed reading this Merc idea, please leave any feedback.
