Name: Violet, 'Vi'
Alias: The Piltover Enforcer
Class: Fighter, Assassin
Race: Human
Age: 28
Occupation: Enforcing the Law
Residence: Piltover
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Abilities:
Passive: Blast Shield: When Vi strikes an opponent with an ability, excess energy from the crystal powering her steam generator is released, forming a protective shield around her for a few seconds that can withstand considerable damage.
Q: Vault Breaker: Vi can use the complex array of pistons in her gauntlets to catapult her forwards, striking opponents with an outstretched fist. It takes a moment to charge, however, and causes considerable collateral damage to the ground where the gauntlet she's using to take off strikes.
W: Denting Blows: Vi's attacks dent the armor of her opponent, causing critical failure every few strikes. This deals a considerable amount of physical damage and leaves their armor rendered until it can be repaired. Seeing their armor rupture sends Vi into an attacking frenzy, continuing to beat into their defenses with even more vigor.
E: Excessive Force: Vi routes extra energy into her attack from her crystal core, causing the energy to cascade out of her target and hit people behind them. It takes a while for her crystal generator to work up the power to do this, though, and it can only hold enough excess energy to do this twice in quick succession before charging up again.
R: Assault and Battery: Vi focuses intently on her opponent, rushing for them with the assistance of her gauntlets in such a way that she becomes immune to anything that may stop her...including brick walls. Once reaching them, she throws them up into the air, jumping after them to throw them onto the ground. However, if her target becomes incorporeal or invisible, she loses her focus and can no longer chase them.
Equipment:
Hextech Gauntlets: Salvaged from a wrecked Piltover mining rig, her gauntlets are her only true weapon. Powered by a steam generator, they can deal considerably powerful blows, and the setup allows her to carry them with easy, actually enhancing her speed instead of slowing her (even if they weigh nearly 500 lbs).
Since she went to Zaun, though, she used the opportunity (and ample free time) to construct new enhancements. These enhancements include:
Blast Plating: Boosts the durability of the gauntlets, while it slightly slows her strikes. Can be removed or added with ten minutes.
Reinforced Pistons: Give more pushing power, allowing her to hit generally harder and lift heavier objects.
Rubber Insulation: Allows her to handle electrical relays with her gauntlets without fear of being electrocuted.
Rappel Line (WIP): Supposedly, a strong wire shot capable of being shot at a wall and sticking in, allowing her to climb more easily or swing around, which is easily removed with the press of a button inside her gauntlet. However, while she has drafted plans for it, she has not gotten around to building it just yet, due to lack of resources.
Relationships:
Adal: Good friend who first introduced her to the Zaunite enforcer team called Purgatory. She left her in Zaun on relatively good terms, even if they weren't necessarily very happy about it.
Melanie: Another good friend who she met when Melanie wandered into her apartment drunk thinking it was her own. She didn't personally say goodbye to Melanie, so there's a bit of resentment towards Vi from her.
Andrei: Vi's crime-fighting partner in Purgatory, Andrei accompanied her to Piltover and they are very close.
Zac: While they don't hang out much, Zac and Vi get along well with friendly competition cleaning up the streets.
Caitlyn: While they once were very close friends and partners, after 'The Incident' Caitlyn began expressing rage towards Vi. Now that Vi is finally back in Piltover, Caitlyn is anything but happy with her and is considering large-scale punishment of her former partner.
Description: Vi is a rather tall (5'10.5") woman whose hair is naturally dirty blonde, but she normally keeps it dyed a vivid (Vi is for Vivid!) pink. When ready for battle, she wears heavy metal armor and her infamous pair of techmaturgical steam-powered gauntlets, with an apparatus allowing the 500-pound kit to be carried easily. She also is around an inch taller thanks to her thick boots.
When she's in casual wear, it's usually a low-cut black shirt with a leather jacket and her goggles on just to look good. She also wears fingerless gloves and tight jeans with boots over them.
Vi's personality is rather coarse and defiant, with people having to earn her respect before she stops tormenting them with her antics. And even then, she won't stop.
Lore: To Vi, every problem is just another brick wall to punch through with her gigantic hextech gauntlets. Though she grew up on the wrong side of the law, Vi now uses her criminal know-how to serve Piltover's police force. Vi's brash attitude, abrasive humor, and blatant refusal to follow orders can often infuriate her by-the-books partner, Caitlyn. But even the sheriff of Piltover cannot deny that Vi is an invaluable asset in the fight against crime.
As a child growing up in the lawless outskirts of Piltover, Vi learned to rob and cheat to get by. Stealing and stripping hextech hardware gave her the skills of a master mechanic, while life on the streets taught her self-reliance. When she was six, a ragtag group of criminals took a shine to the young delinquent and brought her into their fold. By the time Vi was eleven, she had become a seasoned accomplice, and she relished the thrill of every heist.
Vi's attitude changed when a raid on a mining facility went bad. She was forced to decide between fleeing with her crew or trying to save the innocent mine workers from a collapsed tunnel. Vi chose to play the hero. While searching for a way to free the mine workers from the rubble, she discovered a damaged robotic mining rig. Improvising, she wrenched off its huge fists and modified them into makeshift hextech gauntlets. Fitting the heavy weapons to her tiny hands, the young girl flexed her arm and threw a powered punch at the rubble. The force of the blow blasted away the rock. With the workers free to escape, Vi fled the scene.
After that job gone wrong, Vi severed her connection to the crew. She returned to a life of solitary crime, but stole only from other criminals. As the years went by, Vi modified and improved her hextech fists, allowing her to bust up heists and snatch loot with ease. Eventually, word of her notoriety reached Caitlyn, the famed Sheriff of Piltover. Rather than seek Vi's arrest, Caitlyn offered the criminal a way to pay her debt to society: work for the law in Piltover. Vi laughed. To her, a job that let her beat up crooks without forcing her to run from the cops sounded perfect. She immediately accepted. Caitlyn now struggles to keep Vi in line, and Vi treats Caitlyn's orders as mere suggestions, but when they work together, they are feared by all lawbreakers in Piltover.
"It's a shame. I've got two fists, but you've only got one face."
