Raziel

The Dimensional Hunter

A master at interdimensional tracking and killing, Raziel is as formidable as he is imposing. Utilizing his innate ability to track the enemy, Raziel can turn the tides of battle and keep the enemy checking behind their back.

Primary Abilities

Trailblazer
Passively, this ability gives the Dimension Hunter an ability to see the trail of any hero walked within the last 5 seconds. If on a hero’s trail, Activating the skill sends him in a rush along the trail, reaching the end in a blink and both mini stunning and dealing damage to whoever made the trail. Also deals small damage and slows any enemies in his path. If he kills an enemy this way, the ability is refreshed

In the chase between predator and prey, Raziel is never far behind.
Dimensional Veil
Raziel shrouds himself in an interdimensional veil, making him both invisible and untargetable, and move faster for a short time while himself leaving a dark trail that lingers for a short time. If any hero steps over this trail, a new path is immediately formed between Raziel and the hero who stepped over the path. Using Trailblazer while this ability is active will not reveal Raziel until the initial attack.

In the grand cosmic tapestry, there are threads even reality itself fears to touch.
Reality Quell
Raziel screams, sending forth a wave around him that silences all in the vicinity. If there are any untargetable units hit, Raziel is given a 50 DPS immolation around his hero that lasts for 2/3/4/5 seconds.

It is in quietude that the hunter is at his deadliest, and his foes, bereft of their powers, are left to face their imminent end.

Ultimate Abilities

Reality Shatter
The Dimension Hunter shatters reality in a targeted area, causing it to become a zone of pure chaos. Both allies and enemies within are all turned untargetable, and Enemies inside experience reduced vision, and slowed movement. Trailblazer is castable anywhere within in the AOE, and he will rush to and attack every hero inside, beginning from closest to farthest regardless of location or paths. If there are no heroes inside it is not castable


Vision within the tear is reduced to 500 regardless of time of day.

LORE

The Dimensional Hunter's origin is but a faint echo in the grand chronicles of the cosmos, a tale shared in hushed whispers amongst the ancients. His existence is an unsolved mystery, a riddle wrapped within the fabric of reality itself. Amidst the myriad tales that surround this imposing figure, one name reverberates throughout them all - Raziel. It is the sole common thread that binds the mysteries together, a name etched into legend, carrying the weight of destiny and many unspoken truths.

Tales whisper that Raziel was once a scholar of celestial arts, a sage who sought knowledge beyond the mortal coil. His boundless curiosity was his undoing, leading him to unlock interdimensional secrets no mortal being should ever know.

Some say that he is an ancient sentinel, a projection of the universe's will against its own aberrations. A living embodiment of equilibrium, the void given form, a beacon of silence within the cosmic cacophony. He is the silence that drowns the chaotic whispers, the stalker in the interdimensional underbrush, the unseen predator of the unseen prey.

And yet, there exist older, more chilling tales that speak of Raziel as an anomaly within the universal constants: a rogue variable in the cosmic equation, a singularity given will and purpose. His origins, an unfathomable mystery, his motivations, inscrutable and alien, his power, an immutable reality. He is the relentless hunter, an immutable law unto himself, a force of balance set loose upon the very fabric of existence.

Whichever legend holds true, one thing is undeniable: Raziel is the unseen blade in the shadow of reality, the silent whisper in the tumult of dimensions, an eternal vigil against beings of such malevolent essence that even the stars dare not shine upon them.

VOICELINES

On spawn:

As the rift opens, so too does my hunt. Let both man and demon quake, for now I walk the battlefield.

The Order of Power has shifted.



Moving:

The path is… ever changing.

Let them know I’m coming.

Step after step…

No distance is too great.

Striding.

Watch my flank.

They cannot hide from me.

Closer…





Attacking an enemy:

Die!

Pathetic wretch!




Getting a last hit:

I suppose this will be helpful.

Meaningless.




Killing an enemy:

I will rend you all!

It was foolish to stand against me.

Pathetic waste.

You dare oppose me?

That was… underwhelming.

Hmph.

Effortless.




Upon Killing a Specifc Enemy:


Abaddon: Even your cursed immortality cannot shield you from my wrath.

Ancient Apparition: I’ve slain a presence more ancient than even you, apparition.

Anti-Mage: Your hatred for magic is as palpable as your ignorance for its necessity.
- Anti-Mage, for someone so opposed to magic, you heavily rely on it.

Arc Warden: Even the Facets of the Cosmos can be silenced.
- I crush your duality.
- Your attempts to play God end here, Warden.
- You thought to manipulate the laws of reality, Warden. I am their enforcer.

Axe: Axe, your reckless abandon is amusing but lacks strategic depth.

Bane: Cleansed. Back to the Abyss with you, filth.

Bounty Hunter: No amount of gold can buy redemption for a soul as tarnished as yours.
- Your tactics are lacking. And unimpressive.


Bristleback: Your barbs are as sharp as your wit is dull.

Broodmother: The Deepest Corners of your Web cannot hide you from me!

Doom: Even the harbinger of doom shall find silence in my presence.
- Pathetic.
- Not even the Waters of the Styx can quench my burning hatred for you, Doombringer.

Dragon Knight: Davion the Dragon Knight… bound by a curse worn like armor...

Drow Ranger: You may be the Mistress of the Shadows, Ranger, but the shadows are my hunting grounds.

Earthshaker: Earthshaker, your seismic power rattles the ground, but the void remains unscathed.
- Was that a tremor, or a hiccup?


Enigma: Your dark void collapses, and your existence condenses into legend.
- When galaxies are but stepping stones to me, what makes you think you can hinder my path, fundamental?


Faceless Void: The void bends to my will. What chance have you?

Invoker: Invoker, a testament to the notion that wisdom does not always accompany age.
- Your arrogance is more infinite than your repertoire.


Juggernaut: Your blade dances through flesh with ease, but mine cuts through dimensions.

Keeper of the Light: Light or dark, I will not hesitate to quench anything in my way.

Legion Commander: Your strategy is as scattered as your troops, Legion Commander.

Monkey King: Mischievous, this one. But dead nonetheless.
- I bow to no King.
- You’ve jumped your last branch, king of monkeys.
- Your crown looks better on the ground, Monkey King.


Muerta: The echoes of your gunshots fade into the void. They cannot save you from the retribution I bring.

Nature's Prophet: You’re less of a prophet and more of a gardener.

Nightstalker: Not even the darkest of nights can conceal you from me, Balanar.
- I am the Hunter of Hunters, and your time has come, Balanar.


Ogre Magi: I’ve met rocks with more wit than you.

Outworld Devourer: Your knowledge of the cosmos is mere illusion, Devourer.

Phantom Assassin: Phantom Assassin. The shadows you hide in are as transparent as your motives.

Phoenix: You rise from the ashes, but can you escape the pull of oblivion?

Pudge: Disgusting.
- Pudge. I shall rend your wretched flesh into oblivion, and your scattered remains shall adorn the cosmos.


Queen of Pain: Your screams are silent now.
- Your screams may deafen eardrums, Succubus, but it’s your creative side that’s truly terrifying.


Rubick: You meddle with affairs beyond your understanding.
- You may mimic power, Magus, but can you comprehend its essence?
- A grand magus… whose only power is imitation… disappointing.

Shadow Demon: Shadow Demon, your corruption ends here.
- Return to the abyss!
- Cleansed.


Shadow Fiend: Even the darkest of souls cast shadows. Your reign of terror is over, Shadow Fiend.
- Cleansed.


Silencer: You think silence is your ally? I was born in it… molded by it.
- Shut up and die.


Sniper: I leave you in the crosshairs of your own demise.

Sven: Sven, your might is commendable, but your rage blinds you.

Templar Assassin: Templar Assassin, the greatest secrets you keep are those from yourself.

Terrorblade: From one mirror of reality to another, your reflection fades, Terrorblade.
- Your maze of realities ends here.
- You may manipulate realities, Terrorblade, but you cannot escape the inevitability of silence.
- From one shattered reality to another, your flight ends here, Terrorblade.
- No demon is beyond my hunt, not even you.
- You may have escaped me once, Terrorblade. But our little game ends today.


Tinker: Your machines are bound by time and space, Tinker. I am not.
- Science has its limits, Tinker. And I think you’ve just met yours.

Tiny: Rock and stone, reduced to dust.

Underlord: Underlord, your dominion shall crumble.
- I am the end of your chaos.
- Cleansed.


Ursa: You’re as subtle as a bear trap and twice as predictable.

Vengeful Spirit: Vengeful Spirit, your vengeance is meaningless.

Venomancer: Your toxicity is potent, but can it corrode the fabric of reality?

Viper: You are less of a threat and more of an irritant, Viper.

Visage: Your presence crumbles before my might, Visage.

Witch Doctor: Your ‘cure’ is worse than the disease, Doctor.

Windranger: Your demise echoes with a solemnity that pierces through the chaos, Lyralei.
- Even in battle, there's a melancholic beauty to your end, Lyralei.
- The wind carries the weight of fallen dreams, Lyralei.
- In your defeat, I sense a sorrowful tale untold, forever lost in the winds of time.
- In your final moments, Lyralei, I glimpse a flicker of sorrow amidst the storm. Does the price of heroism weigh heavy on your soul?


Weaver: The Loom of Time cannot protect you from the Silence Between Realities, Weaver.
- Consider yourself unraveled.

Zeus: Your lightning cannot compare to the storms I wield.



Selecting:





There is no refuge from my pursuit.

"In the silence between dimensions, I am the echo of justice."

The path of the demon ends where my hunt begins.



2nd monologue, Eternity:


I have traversed dimensions you cannot comprehend, seen horrors you cannot imagine.

But remember, not all that lurks in the dark is evil. Sometimes, it is the light that deceives.




3rd monologue, Silence:



There is beauty in silence.

It is a canvas where chaos can bloom into order. And it is my ally, my weapon.

For in silence, the echo of my prey's footfall is as loud as a war drum.



4th monologue, Reality:



Do not mistake me for a villain.

I am not the darkness. I am not the light. I am the veil between, the rift that separates realities.

I am the hunter in the twilight, and I will shatter the world to preserve its balance.



5th monologue, Resilience:


Though none will ever escape me, there is only one I still chase.

Through a thousand realities it flees me, each more twisted than the last.

Nothing will break my resolve. I never falter. I never tire. I will never stop until I have him in my grasp.



6th Monologue:



In a realm shrouded in darkness, fate wove an unexpected tapestry.

A chance encounter, a meeting of souls amidst the unknown.

Her presence, like a glimmering ember in the abyss, ignited a longing I thought long extinguished.

A flame reborn in the depths of despair.

Her eyes… they held a tale of sorrow and resilience, a reflection of my own past...

The depths of void itself couldn't conceal the radiance within her.

But… our fates were not entwined,

and the flicker of hope I had found left with her.



7th monologue, Purpose:


I am not a destroyer. I am a guardian.

The universe may fear me, but it needs me.

dude that's awesome, amazing hero concept. One thing I might add is that trailblazer, although it's a gank and initiate ability, the damage output is high especially if it stacks with the physical damage he already has. also trailblazer is strong and I'm assuming it's a punish ability but also know that a trail that lasts 20 seconds is a really (somewhat) unfair punishment, perhaps lower the trail duration? once again really good hero concept, I also like the voice lines.
