[Suggestion] Stoney: New Merc for Hire


(Verticules) #1

Name: Stoney
Health: 110
Speed: 390
Active Ability: Stonewall
Primary Weapon Selection: Hochfir SMG, Hollunds 880 , K-121
Secondary Weapon Selection: DE. 50, Simeon .357, Smjuth & Wetsman

Ability Breakdown: Like Phantom, Stoney’s armor brings something special to the table. Stonewall’s prototype design interlocks the armor bringing complete damage immunity to the plate, but at the cost of all activity. That’s right, you can’t even turn your head. User of this product will have to wait until the armor’s charge depletes or will need to toggle it off manually. But hey, you can’t die!*.
Benefits of Stonewall include, but are not limited to:
-Dodging explosive damage
-Meat-shielding for squadmates
-Wasting enemy ammo
-and much more!

*from physical harm while product is active, but you probably will shortly there after.

Warning: Unfortunately, Stonewall’s energy capacity will not power more than 3 seconds of use and requires recharge. Recharge rate equals 1 sec per 15 sec that Stonewall is inactive. If Stonewall lasts more than 4hr consult a physician.

Weapon Choice Theory:
-Large primary magazines, reducing the need to reload over using Stonewall.
-Hefty side arms, to help in times that reloading was probably a good idea, but @#$% it.
-3 different styles of primary weapons, to benefit different Stonewall usages/playstyles.

Experience Ideas:
-10xp for use of ability.
-0.25xp per 1pt damage absorbed in Stonewall.

Edit #1 Quote Ideas:
“Go Hard or Go Home!”- Lobby end into match start
“That wasn’t even hard!”- Taunt
“Now that wasn’t a hard choice, was it?”- Merc lock-in
“Dad always told me, " Son, when I was born, men were made of steel and boats were made of wood.” I adapted."- Profile voice over

I feel this would add a fun mechanic to the game.

  • That would be counterable.
  • Add another coordination element. (Ex. providing cover for engineers)
  • Add counters to a few mercs.
  • Would keep up to the game pace on the pros/cons of the merc.

Edit: I foresee Stoney’s skill cap being kinda high.

For a name like “Stoney”, I would expect him to use his joints for an Ability, not completely freeze them.
