For such a colorful cast of characters, it may be time to add some color by having a dark skinned female character, and thus, introducing Beatrice the Saboteur. Same format as my other character, will try to organize skill tiers later. Maybe add some pics.
Personality: Since Gaige is the spunky alternative girl and Maya is the mellow elegant girl, Beatrice is much more of a gruff tomboy. From her personality to her play style. No fancy powers or toys, just guts, guile, and guns.
Background: A freedom fighter who can not stand all the gun manufacturers and corporations running the show, and an idealist who wishes to reestablish democratic systems.
Design: Should definitely be more physically solid looking than the other two girls, but not so much to make her butch, nor be a stereotype of curvy women (no enormous boobs and butt). Her outfit should look the part of a rebel fighter, someone who thinks and carries themselves as a soldier, but has a ragtag feel to them; improvised and second rate gear, etc.
Action Skill: SMOKE GRENADE; Lobs a grenade that immediately begins to release smoke over an area. Enemies cannot see through the smoke and will be far less willing to fire through it. Enemies caught in the smoke will start coughing, unable to defend themselves, and try to flee the smoke. Beatrice and allies can see enemy outlines in the smoke from outside, and see enemy outlines outside the smoke from within. Only Beatrice can see enemy outlines behind the smoke from outside it. 10 second duration, 22 second cooldown.
Melee: The return of the Bowie knife just like the one Roland had.
