Forum:Downloadable Character Ideas/Shane Hale

Background
Shane Hale is a notorious mercenary turned Vault Hunter known for always completing a job, no matter how long it takes. That being the case, he has taken out many high value targets and completed many dangerous tasks for various unmentionables across the galaxy. He will take any mission as long as he sees the pay fits the job, otherwise he'll turn it down. Not much is known about Shane other than that. Upon learning of The Vault on Pandora and the riches that could be involved during a mission on Pandora, Shane abandoned the current job and turned his sights on The Vault. In the process of searching for The Vault, Shane destroyed a large Hyperion complex stationed at Jakob's Cove, resulting in Jack placing a large bounty on his head.

Appearance
Shane is a 20 year old caucasian male with somewhat unkempt jet black hair reaching down to his shoulders and has hazel eyes. He is around 5'11" in height and is about 110 lbs. His main attire consists of a white button up long sleeve shirt covering a light bullet resistant vest, and a long black overcoat reaching down to his knees as well as black fingerless gloves.

Skills
Shane's skills focus on making him an assault and support gunner for himself or team mates. That said, he works well alone and in a team. He is skilled in non elemental weaponry and his specialty weapon types are assault rifles and submachine guns, and he has skills that benefit both of those classes. He has a few skills that also belong to Axton, however they are more effective than the base skill he possesses.

Blaze Turret
Action Skill: Shane deploys a stationary turret not unlike Axton's Sabre Turret. However, the Blaze Turret features continuous automatic fire and utilizes a minigun instead of a single barreled gun. At maximum level, it can feature homing missile pods, twin miniguns that fire explosive rounds, and it can even become an aerial gun platform.

Base cooldown is 60 seconds.

Support
The Support skill tree focuses mainly on supporting team mates, or keeping Shane armed and ready to fight, as well as focusing on increasing the Blaze Turret's combat effectiveness as a tool used for heavy enemy suppression.

Assault
The Assault skill tree mainly focuses on drastically improving proficiency with automatic weapons, as well as dealing as much damage as possible at all ranges.

Survival
The Survival skill tree focuses on keeping Shane in the fight for as long as possible.
