Disclaimer! I'm more of a concept designer than one who dabbles in the specifics of a character's mechanics so apologies if these don't make very much sense or are too weak/broken. I also want to apologies to using Sage's wall as a common measurement tool.

AGENT - WHIRLPOOL (INITIATOR - CONTROLLER)

Description:

He was born from a light that once struck the center of the Bermuda Triangle, merging from the depths once the waves dissipated. This young, one-eyed, eyepatch wearing fellow was picked up by a group of wandering criminals. Despite their seemingly negative outlook on life, they provided him with an upbringing he deserved, learning things he would take to heart even in their absence.

Passive Abilities:

Like Neon and Viper, Whirlpool will have a fuel meter. However unlike those two he has a major difference. Whirlpool’s fuel meter will deplete 25% slower. In turn his meter will also recharge 25% slower than Viper and Neon’s.

Abilities:

Q - Point Splash

INSTANTLY fire a bullet made of compressed water. The unlucky person who may get hit will be sent flying back. When not hitting a target, it will create a splash effect starting at the end of the bullet’s range, rippling out and causing any in its range to be pushed back. Any enemies caught in its path will be unable to move. Point Splash will also require and take 20% of Whirlpool’s max fuel.

Length: As long as snipers | Bullet Knockback: ⅓ of Sage’s wall

Splash Range: ⅔ of all smokes | Splash Knockback: ½ of all smokes

Charges: 2 | Cooldown: 20s

E - Water Wall

INSTANTLY place a wall made of water. This wall is opaque and can be curved. When aimed into a wall, Whirlpool can pass through the wall where his water wall slices through it. Only Whirlpool can travel through the segment in the wall. Enemies will take suffocation damage when inside. Whirlpool also becomes invisible when he enters this wall, and a further 1.5 seconds whenever exiting it. Water Wall requires 10% of Whirlpool’s max fuel and depletes it. Water Wall lasts up to 25 seconds or when Whirlpool’s fuel meter runs out.

Length: A bit longer than Sage’s wall | Width: As thick as Sage’s wall | Height: As most walls

Suffocation Damage: 20% slower than Viper’s poison

Charges: 1

C - Aqua Dome

INSTANTLY create a dome of water a short distance of Whirlpool’s location. This dome is transparent when standing inside. When looking at this dome from the outside it will be invisible, however every now and again the dome will have an obvious shimmer effect. When bullets enter this dome they are muffled. Enemies will take suffocation damage when inside. Aqua Dome will require 25% of Whirlpool’s max fuel meter and depletes. Aqua Dome lasts up to 20 seconds or when Whirlpool’s fuel meter runs out.

Throw Distance: Basically next to you | Range/Height: 10% Smaller than all smokes

Suffocation Damage: 20% slower than Viper’s poison

Charges: 2

X - Neptune’s Wrath

INSTANTLY fire a giant wave of water in the direction that you are facing. Neptune’s Wrath will push back any enemies. Any enemies caught in its path will be unable to move. Any enemies that are pushed back and hit a wall will be stunned. Neptune’s Wrath will require 50% of Whirlpool’s max fuel meter.

Wall Length: 1.5x longer than Sage’s wall, curved around Whirlpool | Wall Height: As all walls

Wall Range: 75% of all walls | Knockback Duration: up to 50% of its max range

Stun Duration: 1 second

Ultimate Points: 7

Voice Lines

Pick Agent - “You're choosing the water boy? Daring today aren't we?”

Match Start - “Let’s drown ‘em!”

Round Start - “Tough round, but they can’t stay afloat forever.”

Ultimate (Ally) - “Take to high ground!”

Ultimate (Enemy) - “Tsunami Warning!”

One Kill - “One down!” - “A fish drowned!” - “An eye for an eye. Wait...” - “Sea you never!”

Knife Kill - “A slice as precise as a blade of water”

Ace - “I don’t think any of them could swim, how unfortunate.”

Others:

Match Start - Enemy Reyna - "She'd ask me where I'm from, I'd say Earth of course. I'd ask her the same question and she'd just deflect it."

Kill - Sova - "I'm the only one-eyed wonder around here!"

Match Start - Ally Raze - "Calm down explosive girl! Not too much though, we still need to kill them."

Match Start - Enemy Phoenix - "Is he scared because of my water abilities of because I've got mad gun skills?"

Match Start - Ally Chamber - "What's up with that gold plating on your face? Is it valuable?"

Kill - Neon - "She can probably electrocute me to smithereens, might as well take her out so I won't find out!"

Match Start - Enemy Whirlpool - "Is that me? Dang, my eyebags are that deep!"

Kill - Enemy Whirlpool - "Get back in the pond!"
