New Character Concept: The Scourge

THE SCOURGE

My custom character from "Bunkers and Badasses", a fan-made BL Pen and paper me and a friend whipped up, The Scourge is a new breed of Lab-Rat with a mission: revenge.

Having escaped from the Hyperion Wildlife Exploitation Reserve's eridium testing facilities, The Scourge (Nameless for the moment, outside his ID welded to his arm) has gained incredible Slag-related abilities, an Optic Blast, and rat-like qualities. With a fuzzy memory on what happened aside from getting selected for a "yogurt" tasting experiment in the mail, Scourge searches Pandora for answers, revenge on Hyperion, and of course: shinies.


ACTION SKILL: EYE BLAST
Scourge's Action Skill has him lift his goggles up and fire a cone of damaging Slag Energy. The range can be compared to about a "Car length" in front of him, with the cone's spread large enough to fit most anything on-screen in said range. All enemies hit have a base 50% chance to be Slagged.

Being an attack, this has no duration and a cooldown of about 30 seconds.


MELEE: Attacks foes with claws.



SKILL TREES:
Scourge's skills revolve around Slag, his Eye Blast action skill, and the perks of being a Rat Bastard.

The Scourge's class mods currently are his masks, as seen in the concept picture. Team effects include Team Movement Speed and Team Elemental Resistance.

Need some ideas for these... generally classes have like, 10 different types of mods?
