Katie Killjoy


Katie Killjoy is the female news anchor of 666 News, the main and most well-respected source of news in Hell. A foul-mouthed woman who's an open homophobe and doesn't care much for her co-anchor's comments, often abusing him in some way. She's incredibly aggressive, barely keeping in her contempt and anger at all times, snapping frequently- with her neck in particular. She found herself in Black Hole through the beam of the Collider, and she figures she might as well keep the cameras rolling for her audience back in Hell.


Katie Killjoy is at tall fighter who can really effect the playing field using her audience back in Hell to wage bets on who will be the winner, hyping or insulting her opponents to effect their knockback and power output. She can punish extremely well but has ways for her moves to backfire. Additionally, it's always possible to overshoot hyping your opponent to the point where her toolkit can't deal with them effectively.

Gimmick: 666 News
Katie Killjoy is performing a newscast for her station, 666 News, and as such her moveset runs under the assumption the fight is being recorded for the viewers back in Hell. Bets will be placed on the winner of the match as it plays out, with odds growing over the match. Katie can temper the bets by reporting with News Anchor and Tom Trench, with whatever nearby opponents being either hyped up or Katie will talk shit about them.

Higher bets on opponents will generate more knockback on them, but will also give them a 1.1-3x boost to a random stat. Lower bets on opponents will give them more knockback resistance, but also debuff them by 0.7-0.9x to a random stat. When she defeats a opponent with a high bet wager, she'll gain a huge boost to her winnings post-match and also a fair bit of Finisher Energy boosted. Meanwhile, if she defeats a opponent with a low bet wager she'll gain a minimal Finisher Energy gain or straight up lose some Finisher Energy.
Moveset
News Anchor
Katie Killjoy sits down on a horned chair, which while in the air will cause her to fall and deal 11 damage and Bury opponents underneath her. She will begin reporting for 666 news, hyping up or insulting opponents nearby, which the player can tilt up or down to adjust her attitude, which also causes her to shift her legs as she changes her commentary. Opponents who get hyped up will have higher betting chances placed on them, while opponents who get insulted will have lower betting chances placed on them. Cigarette Flick
"This used to have another name, but they wouldn't let me use it."
Katie Killjoy smokes a cigarette before flicking it forward, inflicting 5 fire damage to opponents- Burning them if they happened to be covered in Oil. The player can hold down the button to have Katie absorb more menthol, which builds up Finisher Energy, although this allows her to be punished easily.
Spindly Legs
Katie Killjoy generates four insect-like legs on her back and then bends low to the ground before launching herself high into the air, putting her into a freefall state immediately afterwards. While in start up frames, her insect legs can deal piercing damage to opponents below, inflicting 9 damage and causing Bleed. This attack also has spiking properties. Pen Punish
Katie Killjoy winds up and then stabs forward with a pen as she clicks it forward, dealing 7 damage on hit, 19 damage if hit in the sweetspot as well as putting the opponent in the Out of Body state. If Katie stales the move, the pen will explode and spill Oil on herself and nearby opponents while dealing no damage.
Finishers
Tom Trench
Level 1
Katie Killjoy summons her co-anchor Tom Trench, who acts as a passive version of her News Anchor move, reporting on nearby opponents and either chiming in with his own hyping or insults, effecting betting wagers from the audience in Hell. This power doubles when Katie Killjoy joins him in reporting with News Anchor. Tom Trench has no attacks but is immune to Poison, Radioactivity, and Irridiation and has a total of 45 health before being "killed" and sent back to hell.
Hot Coffee
Level 2
Katie Killjoy dumps some hot coffee on her opponent, usually on the lap, dealing 30 scalding damage to the opponent and the game will consider them Wet. This move comes out quick, gives Katie some invicibility frames, and has spiking properties, making it good for edge attacks.
Full Demon
Level 3
Katie Killjoy activates her Full Demon form, generally making her attacks 2x quicker to come out, negating landing lag, increasing the height of Spindly Legs, and inflicting 1.6x more damage with all of her attacks for 15 seconds. While much more powerful, any opponents she attacks will have their bet wagers lowered significantly the more she hits them, usually lowering her payout from kills.
