New Merc - RAIN [with Art work]

[MGPanda]

Say hello to the new merc RAIN, a fire support merc drop deadly bombing by surprise.

Story:
Rain is Arty’s younger sister, after the war happen Rain worry about her brother so she decide to join the same troop where her brother in and hope she can hlep out.
But nothing is easy for her, when Rain want to join the troop Arty and other people refuse her, Arty don’t want her in this and other people don’t even think little girl like Rain can hlep any thing.
However Rain’s well good sprint talent got the attention from KIRA, KIRA believe theres some thing in Rain that other people can not be reach…

Set Up:
As a fire support merc Rain carry ammo packs. Rain’s name is not come with nothing, Rain have her Marker Grenade that can mark a area and drop down deadly bombing from GUN SHIP from the sky.

Marker Grenade:
“Marker Grenade” is a Infrared light signal transmitter, when Marker Grenade is drop out the GUN SHIP can catch the Infrared light signal and provide fire support.
unlike other fire support merc when the Marker Grenade is place it will not blow up, un like Skyhammer the Marker Grenade will not have the “in door value” but at the same time that’s what make it deadly.
like the Heartbeat sensor “Marker Grenade” is small and quiet, with some carefully planing this can give enemy death rian that they only realize when they feel “wet”.

Tactic:
Rain have well runing speed so use it, with ammo pack Rain can give ammo support fast like no other, and with Marker Grenade Rain can use her speed drop fire support in a very short time, even throw the grenade over the wall and obj to avoid contact.

Fight back:
Rain have very low health so when come to the hardcore gun fight Rain will become very week, Rain can drop fire in a sneak way but the bombing area is small and pay attention of the sound when fire drop down can avoid the tragedy.

Style of Look:
Rain is Arty’s younger sister so she will have a “East face” and accent, Rain like runing and sport so she’s sports clothes are the iconic of her.

Holy sh*t.

This idea is amazing. And the art is too.

One question- can the gunship be shot down or damaged?

[gg2ez]

Hot damn that’s some nice art. Good idea too.

[Crimz]

I really like the idea but i do hope that the gunship can be damaged (Wouldn’t Javelin be great for it)

[HunterAssassin5]

Hot fukken dayum…that is some sweet art. I can sorta recognize signs of tracing, though s’all good.
I’m confused, though, is she “Rian” or “Rain”?

[SirMurder]

Lol she probably made a typo in the name of the thread

sorry about that her name is RAIN

[Hexwall]

Its a nice idea but a question about her marker. Can it be destroyed and therefore cancel the gunship? Can the gunship be destroyed or force it to retreat?

well what I think about Rain is to make a more Tactical style game play merc, the marker don’t think can stop marking by destroyed and the gun ship just a way to show where her fire support coming from…
think if Skyhammer’s marker can be destroyed and he’s UAV can be shoot down then is just not right… Rain’s fire support only cover a very limited area like arty and the cooling time is also short so it allow Rian give fire support in a tactical way unlike skyhammer give fire support to make sure no sign of life in a big area

[HunterAssassin5]

So basically, the marker is used to mark an area to make into a no-man’s land for some time? It being a gunship, it probably relies on infra-red to find ground targets, so some abilities like mollies might cover up a patch of ground in heat, making it a sort of bridge friendliest might cross. Smoke won’t do much, though, since red eye, with his Ir goggles can see through it, so can the gunship. The flashes, though…I don’t know about that.

and that`s why the marker from Rain is small and quiet, drop fire when enemy don’t even know the marker is right next to then, yes fire support no like skyhammer cover a big area and more deadly but is so obvious every one that pay a little attention know then need to run now when Skyhammer drop fire support

[FalC_16]

very nice concept.

/reminds me of bombing dudes back to the stone age on modern warfare 2 ^^

[lavenderMan]

I was acctually thinking of a merc exactly like this!

Difference is I named her spooky after the ac 130 spooky gunship

But eventhough the area of denial is small there should at least be a marker of some sort. Or else its op a little bit

Might i suggest a small ring for our team to see and the same laser on the ground that arty has. But I luv the idea and photo!

[Naonna]

Like the photo and the idea of a more subtle fire-support merc. The issue for me comes with the fact that the area denial is greater than that of Stoker combined with Bushwacker’s turret. I’d hope there’d be a HUGE cooldown on that, along with a limit for how long the marker can exist. Killing the marker to stop such a massive aoe effect would be of benefit for counterplay as well.

The other problem is the hit box on her. If people struggle to hit sparks batting their teammates to death, how are they to hit someone smaller?

[Brycko]

+1. Love this.

Weapons? Stats? Loadouts? I can make them up if anyone wants me to.

Necroed because it’s probably one of the better and more original merc concepts. Wish Splash Damage would see these.

Mabye the mollies and flashbangs can act as a distraction to the gunship.

[Brycko]

Actually, would Rain be a long-range merc or a short range one? Fire support probably means long range, +low health, so weapons like the Grandeur, Stark AR and maybe the Dreiss? Would probably give her machine guns like the Empire-9, MP-400 and the Tolen.

As a suggestion, I think the ability name should be changed to “Rain-Maker”. Describes the ability better.

Started making loadout cards. Here’s the first prototype:

More on the way, weapons and all.

[Lord_Coctus]

She’ll be happy…until she has to kill her brother.

[Pinchiiy48]

I think its good Just the part with Kira is a little bit unnecessary since they are mercenaries so there really isn’t any troops. there is a chance im wrong because im ignorant at times. But maybe she coudve been inspired by her brother to join but Arty knows its bad and dangerous which is why he refuses to let her join

[yesser]

how can she put her marker ? like proxy mines or can be throwable in a big distance ? making her throwing it into big distance with her stealth could be OP but making in like proxy mines would be really nice to clear out a camping team with a health station like runing to them throwing the marker and run back into the team
