Merc Idea - Sarge/Hype (Fire Support)

(PTownHero) #1

Sarge/Hype/Hyper/Hypeman
“ARE YOU READY TO GO?!!?”

HP - 135
Speed - Around Fragger or a little faster
Ability 1 - Trumpet/Banner/Flag (Can be placed for a buff over an area, like an Aura Station)
A buff that works over a period of time. Either speeds up players, increases damage, increases health/adrenaline health (Artificial HPs that decrease with time. Up to SD. Think of it as a morale boost/buff.
Ability 2 - Ammo Bags

Backstory
Dishonorably discharged from the Army after being a crazed killer with too much hype, has little regard for the things he does so long as it gives him a thrill. Something along those lines. Most of this is off the top of my head late at night. Anyone like this?

I like the concept, but maybe we could rework what his ability does, remember dirty bomb is a game based on the future, but not to far ahead where there’s crazy stuff, and the mercs also follow a kind of pattern, mercs such as this here, if you insist on ammo bags or ammo in someway, his ability would have to be something more along the lines of delaying the enemy team, such as Skyhammer or Stoker does, but if the fire support isn’t really what you care about then you can focus on his ability which takes more of a medic type role, I think the artificial HP works nicely, but it would have to be worked around since this is actually physically changing the other mercs on the team which could be game breaking imagine a 120 hp proxy, wouldn’t be nice would it, the other route you can take with this is making it buff yourself making him a pure assault character, maybe it could be some kind of suite or something he can power on for a few seconds to buff his speed?

A speed buff alone would be enough: a high-speed rhino would be funny as hell. No need to over-buff anyone.
