Meet The Chemist

CHARACTER INFO

-On the surface the Chemist looks like an average if not kinda pathetic guy until you find out what they’re capable of.

-No one knows their actual age but the team likes to think of them as somewhere between 17-20 making them (presumably) the youngest merc.

-They can make many types of potions ranging from the typical poison to even levitation pots. (Though those are banned in battle.)

-No one knows exactly where or how they came to learn how to make such things. According to their records, the Chemist doesn’t actually have any degrees in chemistry. They also refuse to give out any of their recipes despite many attempts at bribery.

-After years of exposure, the Chemist somehow managed to make themself almost completely immune to most poisonous substances.

-Their sanity is a bit questionable but hey- that’s not really unique to them and plus they get the job done so that’s well enough.

PERSONALITY

-The Chemist usually presents themself as kinda awkward and pretty nervous.

-They like sticking to themselves unless they know you and are comfortable with your presence.

-If provoked though, they can become rather manic and sadistic.

-It’s best not to do that.

GAMEPLAY

-Basically they’re a glass cannon.

-They can do pretty massive offense with their potion bombs but their defense is pretty low and their speed is a little below average lmao.

-Primarily used to deal massive area damage and discourage the enemy team from gathering up in one place, forcing them to spread out or die in a cloud of poisonous gas.

-The Chemist has a slight resistance against any enemy chemist’s potions.

-Most effective when with their team so they don’t immediately get overwhelmed and die due to their meager health pool.

-Does have a subclass where they completely ditch the potion bombs for a drinkable potion that dramatically ups the Chemist’s speed and defense but lowers attack and restricts them to only melee. Basically the Chemist drinks a pot and goes batsh*t insane, proceeding to try to tear the enemy apart with their teeth.

-On hit, their melee attacks do 5 extra seconds of poison damage like the potion bombs.

-Unlike the bombs though, unhinged Chemist can only poison one target at a time.

-Unhinged Chemist is helpful for people who aren’t the best at working with a team and would like to do their own thing.

-Chemist is mostly countered by sniper and spy due to their slow movement speed.
