An old legend

I think we need an elderly legend. Maybe they're fit because yoga, pilates and cross country, maybe they are cyberpunk cyborgs. Either way, the gentle 'let me tell you a story' vibe would be nice. I enjoyed how relaxing Seer's voice is and Vantage's goofiness. I think it would be a good combo.

-Tactical: longer strides/floating jumps (speed up similar to octane) for 10 seconds

- Ultimate: Chain/lasso that can pull people close (for elderly convenience), a sort of snatch ability every few minutes

- Passive: Can simply tap scan beacons twice with a nostalgic hand instead of extended/exposing scan animation ("Ah...reminds me of the good old days). Maybe it can also expose the legend that last used it, after all, they are a very experienced character. Maybe they can only do it once each round instead of at every beacon they find (so it can't be abused). If the legend died already, it can mention that.

@OldTreeCreeper Didn't imply that. Just wanted to share an idea! 🙂

@SkenderaxeThere is some voiceline with Horizon that mentions people being really old tho'. Like Revenant iirc.

Still I get that there is no "visually old" legend.

Now I kind of imagine some Geezer with a "fold out-mobility scooter" with kill-stickers on the side and having "27" (the legend 27) as a nickname beacause they're 127 y.o.

Passive: detect weakpoints.
Can see where enemies have been shot before and target that area for increased damage.

Tactical: into the plaid
Rapid dash with the fold out-mobility scooter (deals damage if it runs over enemies).

Ultimate: Rejuvination.
Using weaponized life preservation technology Geezer drains the HP of nearby enemies to fill up his own. (Basically streamed organ donation 😉)

(Geezer/27 is obviously evil as hell, and has only gotten as old because he sucks the youth out of his opponents.. I also get the vibe that he (or she) might like feet... evil!)

@DrWizardo I think op was looking for a more friendly grampa/grandma ish character.

My suggestion: Aunt Betty

Tactical: hard candies, Betty gives teammates 25% health and 1 shield cell of charge.

Passive: Wise guidance, reviving other teammates is 25% faster

Ultimate: super aspirin, Aunt Betty gets a 15% speed boost, and gets a cane melee attack that does 50 dmg

@BigMacAttack8u Hmm... Will she be really short? Like Wraith, but with a bent back.
Can the ultimate be lots of cats? Like Sharknado, but cats? Cataclysm?

@DrWizardo Here is a base reference for Aunt Betty:
And yes, cars would also be a fitting ability, to balance an AI attack kitty, she could would have to throw yarn at the legend (A little shorter than grenade throwing, you know, arthritis and all)
