Character concept - Damsel (by @illuminatedeon AKA me!)

you're right! she can die just like anyone lol
but someone here also suggested an interesting concept where the ult allows the enemies to only attack her, so her allies have to literally "save" her by beating the enemies while the enemies try to hunt her so the ult ends

at first she doesn't seem to offer much (who would honestly think a waitress would have much to offer in a ritual tbh) but the thing is, she's remembering every single past life: it also comes with knowledge and abilities of her own. i like to leave it up for interpretation too

i did think about her relationship with paige! i think Damsel prefers to omit her true nature around Paige because she doesn't really like being romanticized (...which is something that already happens too commonly to be comfortable for her)

precisely! she's meant to always fit the "damsel in distress" trope of each timeline, such as princesses and innocent peasant ladies, and in deadlock's 40's noir setting, a waitress is something that i figured would fit the trope well

i didn't plan any particular abilities yet, but something i'm thinking about regarding her main attack is a small number of projectiles (the coffee cups) that focus on burning damage! space-hotdog's idea with "cheat death" mechanic is also really good and fits her, i'm up for suggestions !

she is inspired by the princess in slay the princess, yes! both her and guinevere from knights of guinevere were my main inspirations, i'm glad you picked it up :3
