Ares, The Starfire Warlord
Type: Sentinel
Genesis: Plasma
Bio: In his glory days, Ares was a great military leader who worked with the Crogenitors in unifying Cryos. His strategic mastery and fearsome skill in battle were a boon to the Crogenitor operation on Cryos. His intentions were to usher in a new era for the Cryosi- centuries of corrupt leadership had weakened Cryosi resolve, and it was Ares's hope that the Crogenitors -at the the time the most powerful single-race empire in the galaxy- would reinstill hope and pride in the Cryosi. His efforts helped make Cryos a utopia, and one of the Crogenitor's crowning achievements.
When Cryos's core began to cool, Ares was one of the first to turn to the Crogenitors for help. He had helped them take control of his world, helped them make it a utopia. Surely they would hear him out. The Crogenitors heard his plea... And created a white hole in the middle of Cryos's dying core, ripping the world with plasma and continent-wide blizzards so cold they burned. Billions of innocent Cryosi died, and Ares was reduced to a mere vagabond, competing with his fellow survivors for food and shelter. The winner lived another day. The loser was lost to the cold or swallowed by fire.
What had Ares and his people done to deserve this? Was this the price he had to pay for his good intentions? As it was, Cryos had become nothing more than a testing ground for Crogenitor science experiments, at the expense of its people. Betrayed and overwhelmed by sadness, Ares disappeared into the frigid wilderness.
When the Darkspore invaded Cryos and butchered the Crogenitors, Ares looked on with apathy. He felt no sympathy for the once-great science lords. This was the price they had to pay for their meddling in nature. Sorrow began to give way to rage, and Ares presented himself as a prime specimen for experimentation to the last Crogenitors on Cryos. In desperation, they turned him into a war machine unlike any other, a draconic beast that became more powerful the more he was injured in battle. They turned him loose against the Darkspore... And were shocked when he turned on them instead.
Trapping them in their compound, he set it ablaze and ignored their pleas for mercy. "Where was your mercy when Cryos begged you for help?" he roared. Not knowing how to answer, they simply continued to grovel. Disgusted, Ares left them to burn alive, leaving no Crogenitors on Cryos. His vengeance temporarily sated, he turned his attention to the conquering Darkspore. Enraged at their treatment of his remaining people, Ares was among the first to tear forth from the mountains, taking the Darkspore by complete surprise and razing them to the ground. Gathering like-minded survivors and teaming-up with the likes of Lumin and Blitz, Ares organized a colossal resistance that held the Darkspore at bay until the Crogenitor Insurgency arrived.
Soon, he became known as the Starfire Warlord to ally and foe alike. When the Darkspore fall... So will the remaining Crogenitors. When the Darkspore fall, the Crogenitor Empire will be replaced by Cryos. Ares will see to it that his vision is realized, at any cost.
-----------------------------------------
Appearance: Slightly larger than a laser tank and taller than Wraith, he would be the largest hero in the game.

Weapon: Incendiary Lancer: A coat of flames enveloping Ares's front-right leg. The flames emanate from a thick, exoskeletal bracer shaped like a blade.
ABILITIES-----------------------------
[Basic attack] Impale - 17-28 damage - 2.5 second cooldown - Slight homing effect - two attacks: Rushes the closest enemy and attempts to run them through. Second attack - a horizontal swipe- will burn if the first attack lands. Second attack has a cleave radius, but only burns the first target.
[Unique Ability] Crater-Maker - 48-68 damage - 28 energy - 4 second cooldown - AoE: Leaps high into the air, effectively becoming invincible for two seconds, then crashes down violently at the targeted area. A 6m radius of fire emanates from the crater, and any enemy within the crater is slowed for two seconds. (Bosses don't fit in the crater and won't be slowed.
)[variant ability] Alpha: Meteor- Beta: Flame Surge - Gamma: Electro Sphere - Delta: Webbed Lightning
[squad ability] Burning Rocket - 20-58 damage - 25 energy - 5 second cooldown - homing: Fires a fast, flaming projectile that slightly homes in on the target. May stun the target for 2 seconds, opening up an opportunity for a Crater Maker. (Unlike SRS-42's missiles, you actually have to AIM.)
[passive ability] Simmering Rage: The lower Vulcanus's health is, the more powerful his attacks are. The conversion is as follows: 75% health = 10% boost, 50% health = 15% boost, 25% health = 20% boost, 5% health = 40% boost. In overdrive, the boosts are 15%, 20%, 30%, and 50% respectively.
Big boost at 5% both ways because, well, he's about to die. It's not like he's going to be able to kite or anything with that boost, one or two hits and he's gone.
Overview: Basically, a scary ranged Sentinel that gets stronger as he gets weaker, so to speak.
