Here’s some examples I found using google.



Short Summary:
Shadow is an ex-navy seal, turned CIA assassin. Her specialty is blades or any pointy objects, along with a small but powerful missile launcher that folds out from her back (like in Predator!). She also has a handy invisibility cloak that doesn’t last long, but gets the job done. She can throw her spear and dagger at close range targets or stab them in the eye if they get to close!

Backstory:
Remy Davis was born in a small town in East Texas, she always liked knifes the bigger the better, heck she could hit a bulleyes from 50ft away at age 6! At age 16 she graduated high school with honors and went to college for 2 years before deciding to join the U.S. Navy. At age 20, she was invited to apply for the Navy Seals. Being the first female to be a part of the program she pushed harder than she ever has, and she became the first female Navy Seal and she beat all previous records held. She ran several successful missions across five continents and she became very renowned individual in the U.S. Navy by retiring warlords, terrorists, and even toppling governments. Davis earned the call sign “Shadow” for her brutality with knifes and her love for dark corners. You wouldn’t expect a 5’2 blonde hair blue eyed girl to be so deadly. She left the military at age 24 and joined the C.I.A running black ops missions. It got to a point in her life were she didn’t care who the target was as long as she got paid. She killed terrorists, presidents, warlords, drug lords, dictators and anyone that got in her way. When the world went to crap the only thing she knew was killing and getting paid, so she became a mercenary.

There’s an unreleased merc named Phantom whose abilities were a invisibility cloak and an (instakill?) katana type melee weapon. Basically, your idea, but with less health and no missile launcher. A stealthy melee class has been suggested a lot in the past, but Phantom is going to be released in a future update. Nice backstory, though!

thanks! I put the missile launcher in there because of her military background and because well, the predator movies are awesome lol

For reference, here’s a picture of Phantom.

Well he had a “katana” (actually there are a lot of noticable differences between a katana and what he uses. His weapon is more of a tactical messer) but it most definitely didn’t one shot. Hell, it didn’t even do that much damage. It’ll probably be a while before we see him because that sword needs quite a bit of a buff before it’s worth even using, specifically giving it reach (long swords should be able to hit things much further away than a knife can).

Edit: … Hell is censored? Hm…guess I’ll just go with the Norse equivalent and say Hel.
Edit2: The censor thing is confusing. Now it’s not being censored.
Edit3: Oh, weird. Apparently I have to refresh to see it censored. But still…why is hell censored?

c-r-a-p was censored for me, i feel like i’m 10 here, i just said “aren’t you a lucky duck” in another thread :confused: that’s not me at all lol. Anyway, that’s why I gave her a spear and a dagger, they can both be thrown at range, also why I mentioned, “she could hit a bulleyes from 50ft away.” Which may be too far for this game, but a spear or a knife is probably something anyone could dodge easily, which is why i gave her the invisibility cloak. It all sort of came together and worked I guess. Maybe they can scratch phantom off and use shadow, hehe.

Throwing spears. Okay, running around with a sword is silly but throwing spears is dumb. Not to mention spears in an urban area is dumb, period. There is a reason why when soldiers started using heavier and heavier armors throwing weapons became less and less used in practical warfare while heavier weapons were used. Compared to an English longbow the throwing spear was the equivalent of a peashooter.

As for throwing knives. They use to have them…now they do not. That should show you how likely they are to bring those back.

One-hit may be too OP. I think increased crit chance is a better choice. Invis cloak… it’d be good if it can be disabled by taking damage. Counterable by AOE abilities.

This is a video game, not real life. Did you even read my full post? I was inspired by the Predator aliens, from the Predator movies… so yeah.
