It's Go Time!

Hero Contest:
Get your shit into my map time #2!
So I've got this game I want to play... It's called a hero contest, I'm sure most of you recognize it. It's where you design and fully elaborate a hero under my specifications and then they all get judged by myself and maybe other members of our community and the winner may be added into the map!

Rules, Restrictions, Rewards:
  • One submission per person.
  • All submissions should follow this format or they will be automatically disqualified.
  • All submissions should be posted in this forum, that is the reason for its existence.
  • The winner's character may be added to DoE. See a later note for more details.
  • The hero must not be relatively close in name, design, or skill names to any hero from any other AoS. If any form of similarity exists, your hero will be automatically disqualified.
  • Any edits to heroes after the deadline will result in automatic disqualification.
  • The contest officially starts on 10:00AM GMT-5 (EST) of 2/6/2008 and will officially end midnight GMT-5 (EST) on 2/15/2008.
  • Anyone I have judge cannot also submit a hero.
  • I reserve the right to not implement any hero if all of the submissions suck really bad. If you win, but your hero still failed, then I'm sorry but I may still not use it.
  • Judges cannot post in a hero's topic and are highly suggested to not discuss any of the submitted heroes amongst themselves (Or even read them) before the deadline. This way we can avoid as much bias as possible in the judging process.
Hero Specifications & Requirements:
  • The hero must be a technical hero.
  • The hero must be for the Hallowed Order.
  • The hero must have some form of invisibility.
  • The hero must use Maim and/or Blind in some manner.
  • There are no requirements for primary attribute or role, but be reasonable.
Comments:
  • Heavy condition interaction is a MUST. If you need examples of this, see heroes like Fahren, Kassar, and Skittel.
  • Story does not matter in this contest. It is only for your own leisure to include, but you are not required to nor will it count for or against you in the judging.
  • This is more a tip than it is a requirement, but please don't make your heroes have innates unless you're absolutely positive it's required and know very well how to successfully make heroes interact with their innates. It really pains me to read through heroes with obligatory innate skills.
Judge List:
  • Rising_Dusk
Questions to Think About:
  • What does the Order need?
  • Is my hero overdone or cliche?
  • Is my hero simple enough?
  • Have I seen my hero's style elsewhere before?
  • Does it have enough condition interaction?
  • Is that condition interaction solid and appropriate for both team and solo settings?
  • Does my ultimate feel like it belongs as an ultimate?
  • Is my hero's ultimate useful no matter what skills the player picks for the hero?
  • Is my hero too passive?
  • Would my hero be fun to play?
  • Does my hero require skill to play effectively?
  • Does my hero have too many click-shoot skills?
  • Does my hero have a defined role, theme, or style?
  • Did I rush when I made my hero?
  • Do any skills feel filler?
  • Does everyone else seem to like it?
  • Does my hero have a retarded or meaningless title and/or name?
  • Would my hero fit into DoE?
  • Would I play my hero?
  • Would others?
  • Do I have an idea what my hero would look like? Any ideas for models?
  • Does my hero follow the correct format?
I posted this in the first hero contest, but I want to emphasize it now:

Don't feel sad if I don't like your hero, it's just one man's opinion against the world's. No hard feelings, eh?
