Bio: Shortcut is an initiator from Canada. His kind hearted personality is beaten only by his own benevolence to his team. Shortcut has the capability to set his own team up to dominate the battlefield while he stays in a safe place to proudly watch his comrades succeed. If needed however, Shortcut can create his own opportunity to avenge fallen friends. Shortcut’s robotic body is a storage unit for radianite, designed by kingdom and repurposed by Killjoy and Viper to channel energy into his teammates. You can see his body is made from Radianite crates and similar build to KAY/O otherwise.

Signature ability: Reinvigorate- 1 charge, 40 second cooldown- Shortcut casts reinvigorate on teammates much like Sage casts her heal. Reinvigorate takes 6 seconds to take effect once cast, and the targeted player will be pinged on the map to the enemy team much like Cypher’s ultimate. After the 6 seconds pass, targeted player’s signature ability will be refreshed. This can be used to bypass cooldowns like Sova’s arrow, or to add more charges like Brimstone’s Smokes. This makes it necessary that Shortcut sees all teammates status on signature abilities while preparing to cast. Reinvigorate cannot be cast on a player that would not benefit.

Q Ability: Redirect- 2 charges, cost, 200 credits- Shortcut fires a projectile that sticks to whatever surface it touches (barring sage’s wall) and disappears upon priming (2 seconds). One bounce can be added, but will significantly reduce speed of the projocetile). This ability can be activated before the round starts for defensive purposes. Shortcut can activate Redirect, which will then make noise for 1.25 seconds and explode in a flashbang. Enemy players can destroy redirect before it primes.

C: Ability: Direct route- 1 charge, cost 400 credits- Shortcut emits a field of energy for 10 seconds (ex. Skye heal) that powers up weapons to heavy penetration levels. Casting takes 1.5 seconds, leaving shortcut vulnerable.

Ultimate Ability: Radianite transfer- Cost 8 points- Shortcut channels radianite stored to fuel a teammate with radianite power, charging their ultimate. Shortcut cannot charge a teammate who has recently used their ultimate (during that round). Every kill resulting from teammates ultimate charges Shortcut with 1 point, followed by a voice line praising the teammate and thanking them. (This last bit is a bit much but i like it)
