The Scrapyard Dogs

The Scrapyard Dogs inherently do not have a technology to call their own necessarily.  What they do have, is all the scrapped, unfinished, and unloved inventions from other guilds that have been tossed away over the years.  Refining it into their own tech, Scrapyard Dogs have carved their own niche into the world.

Mechanically, the Scrapyard Dogs will contain...kind of a grab bag of ideas I don’t know how to make work in other guilds.  Some members might use magic, others far flung tech from the future, some may even use random stuff from the past, who knows?

Hound

Overview:  Man’s Best Friend...but perhaps more mechanical than you might remember last time...and also large.  Hounds are quick and versatile close-range combatants, capable of denying areas with their presence, and using their enhanced speed to be able to mobilize and support wherever needed.  Additionally, they can control the battlefield in a way few other classes can, thanks to their ability to reposition certain projectiles, usable item pickups, and even players.

Weapons:  Machine gun, Mine, Bite

Special ability:  Fetch   The Hound grabs a projectile, pickup, or player with their mouth.  Carrying something in the hound’s mouth slows their movement speed.  Additionally, the hound will automatically drop whatever its holding after a short period, depending on what they’re holding, players dropping very shortly after grabs and pickups lasting much longer.  Pressing the button again will have the hound either drop the held thing if the button is held, or thrown if the button is tapped.

Scrapper

Overview:  The Scrapper is a builder-type class that uses parts.  Thanks to their know-how, they’ve discovered how to build an automatic turret gun that can also be manually controlled.  They’re also quite efficient in combat themselves, though not to a major degree, should they need to defend themselves in a pinch.

Weapons:  Pepperbox, Turret Kit, Axe-Wrench The Turret Kit allows the Scrapper to build a Turret using parts.  The Turret has its own health and limited ammo, as well as a limited detection range. The Axe-Wrench can repair any building -- including their own turret -- using parts.

Special ability:  Manual Override   The Scrapper mounts the turret, taking aim personally.  While the Scrapper is in control of the turret, the turret’s firing speed is increased, but loses the ability to automatically shoot targets.

Mercenary

Overview:  Proving that simplicity is never a bad thing, the Mercenary is a solid class comfortable in close-ranged combat, but not entirely lacking in long-ranged capabilities.  Mercenaries can fight fast and hard thanks to their improved speed and high damage, making them great at one-on-one duels.

Weapons:  Crossbow, Twin Machineguns, Scrap Saber

Special ability:  Dash   Activating a modified jetpack, the Mercenary makes a quick movement forwards, with brief cooldown.  This ability even works in the air.
