Name: Alejandro “Stallion” Bengochea
Quote(s): [printed on profile page] "Hola, me llam Stallion [call me Stallion], you can look forward to me carrying your ass over to a médico "
“I lift and carry my entire team, twice in a row, uphill, both ways…”
“Rhino may bench press smarter things, but he can’t lift himself over his shoulder, can he?”
Country of origin: Panama (just because why not)
Age:20
Backstory: Growing up being in one of the more well-off families on the poor side of a city, he and his 5 siblings got into a lot of fist fights over arguments about everything from apples to social standing. Usually being the last to fight, he’d be the ones to finish them off, and then having to bring his brothers and sister back home. Stallion thought if he actually was first to a fight, he’d lose and was ashamed of this, because normally the enemy is weakened by the onslaught of his peers, led by the two oldest, the eldest brother and one sister. So, Stallion trained himself to be stronger, using his sibling as voluntary weights and following a strict self-sustained work-out regimen, he tried his damnedest to become a bigger and stronger person. Upon his 16th birthday, the oldest brother, who’d noticed his training and determination, had let him be the first to the next fight that they inevitably had. Shocking everyone except his father, who supported his want to be strong, Stallion knocked the opponent flat on their ass in one punch. Two years later, he saved enough to buy a ticket to London, and bought a pawn shop there. Another 2 years passed, and after a big sale buying an out-dated blueprint from an old hermit, he heard on the news about a horrible crisis going on (which we know as Dirty Bomb). Stallion saw this as a way to use the guns hanging on his shelf to make more money than the tourists looking for a souvenir. Now he’s a merc, working with his guns and muscles to get loads of loot.
Abilities:
Using his large set of muscles, Stallion can push the EV 2.5x faster than any other merc. (passive)
Fireman’s Carry/Body Slam: Stallion is able to pick up a downed merc to carry them to a medic if they’re a team-mate, or brutally execute them if they’re on the enemy side, execution will steal all enemy ammo and (oddly enough) regenerate 25% of Stallions’ life. Body slam will take some time (1.2 seconds), so be wary of any enemies nearby. While carrying, can only use secondary if not already dropped [see Wild Ride], but can’t reload [ one hand on the weapon, the other on the carried], can use melee. (activated by pressing ability key [default F] on a downed merc, then using ‘F’ again to execute)
Wild Ride: Filling up a meter by doing damage to enemies (total of 340 damage dealt) will allow Stallion to charge forward in a dash of rage, slamming away enemies and taking down enemy deployables, charging reduces damage intake by 40% at the cost of inability to turn and he drops his secondary like a ditz. (activated by filling up a damage meter and pressing Q while sprinting with melee out [kinda seems like TF2 demo-charging now that i think about it])
Health:
I don’t know, what would be good for something like Stallion? I think it’d be around 130-145, that way he’s less bullet-spongey than Fragger or Rhino, can benefit from Tryhard or Big man [see the augments I made up for him], and isn’t totally crazy with his speed and weapons
Weapons:
Possible primaries: K121 LMG-Timik 47-M4A1-Hollunds 880
Possible secondaries: Smjuth&Whetsman-DE.50-Simeon.357
Melee weapons are the knives and bat, except dual wielding stilnotto stilettos with an augment just for him
Augments (some made up, others actually in-game):
Horsepower, increases charge distance by 30%
Leg day, decreases damage needed to fill charge meter by 35%
Ambidextrious, dual wield stilnottos
Big man, For every kill gained, another 5 health added, up to a maximum of 20
Heavy bullets, increased primary damage by 10%
Parasitic, execution bonus increased by 10%
Vampiric, execution bonus increased by 20%
Soul-sucking, execution bonus increased by 35%
Core Work-out, speed reduction when carrying heavier mercs reduced 10%
Cardio Cake, speed reduction when carrying heavier mercs reduced 23%
Possible augments already in-game
Focus
Drilled
Doubletime
Tough
Tryhard
Unshakeable
Speed:
435 when not carrying a merc
427 when carrying any merc besides Fragger or Rhino
420 when carrying Fragger
400-385 when carrying Rhino (depends on if his minigun was out at the time of the downing 400 if no mini, 385 if [obviously] he had it out)
475 when rage-charging
Might not ever make it in game, but I just thought I’d share it. Wanted to try to make something that would turn an aspect of the game into a more interact-able thing. Instead of downing just being “Oh just kill me” or “Oh just revive me” I wanted to add a bit of flair to it. Maybe useless, but hey, maybe now that Aura will revive your writhing body once Stallion drops you gently in front of her. Also tried to make a big way to get ammo while regenerating health, as a bonus, you get to gib enemies.
p.s. I google translated the ‘Call me Stallion’ part, it was originally going to be the normal ‘me llamo es’.
