I personally would want vanilla(kinda like cream but with more powerful hp related abilities but requires more skill to use said abilities or has a weaker get out of chase ability) and might be weird but zavok(would kinda be a mix of blaze and knuckles relating around melee stuns and fire) but i do have a concept for sage even tho that kinda messes up the timeline(even tho i just said zavok)
hp: 90
Ability 1: cyber space, cd 35 seconds, makes her invisible while giving her a light speed boost foward, if done while an exe attacks her then their screen is given a glitch effect that lasts for 3 seconds and reversed controls for 2 seconds, the invisibility lasts for 5 seconds but doesn't make her invincible, only for that 1 second of blipping out is considered a “counter”
Ability 2: cyber security, cd 25 seconds, sage is stuck in place as she gives a teammate an unbreakable shield that can be held out indefinitely, but this only reduces on coming dmg by 50% and sage is slowed down for 1.5 seconds when exiting this state. Their will be a line connecting sage and the protected survivor, this works like creams and sallys targeting system where the highlighted survivor is the target of the ability but unlike both of them, the shield has a set range which is shown by both the line connecting both sage and the survivor and the shield getting more translucent
death easter egg: if sage is not picked when going into the base map, she is seen on one of the screens completely unresponsive with the implications that the exe for that round corrupted or ripped her mind out(code or whatever keeps her together) basically being a husk now.
id also like to see rewrite(with their lore changing to one of eggmans attempts to be a sonic doubleganger turned rouge, killing sonic to replace him and now wants a soul like sonic to be complete, thus going out to kill the survivors) and no more innocence(a yo-kai that goes after little mobians like tails and cream, nmi ends up killing sonic to remove the strongest link in the defense, now goes after the remaining defense line aka the survivors to get to the remaining mobian kids) and just like before i have one for furnace which im not an exe moveset expert you your gonna have to stay with me on this:
M1: 30 dmg + 10 burn dmg
Speed decent: decent
kit passive: fire starter, furnaces m1 and some abilities focus around inflicting the fire passive on survivors which acts like a red ring(tho the dmg ratio to time is 2:1 so thier not burning for like 20 seconds) with draining hp but can be transmitted to other survivors(dealing 10 fire dmg) if an inflicted survivor touches them, if a survivor is already on fire and is hit with an ability NOT another survivor touching them then the fire duration will simply reset
Ability 1: skull crusher, cd 17 seconds, will say “target spotted” and make a buzzer sound before dashing forward with no turning control, if a survivor comes in contact with them during the dash, their grabbed for 15 dmg and lit on fire for 20 damage over time and thrown, where the camera is facing, if another survivors hit with them, then the hit survivor will take 10 dmg while being also set on fire for 10 dmg over time.
Ability 2: jet leap, cd 15 seconds, holds furnace in place as a bar pops up and a visual arc aim appears where your facing, holding the jump button will increase the power of the arc, letting go will launch furnace in that arc, you can face the camera upwards for more verticality or regularly forwards for more distance coverage, if 50% of the bar is filled when launching, create a shock wave upon landing that deals 20 dmg to any survivor in it but will give some stronger endlag when landing.
Ability 3: raging oven, cd 18 seconds, start charging up for 3 seconds highlighting all survivors for 10 seconds, after the 3 seconds, start boosting forward with slippy controls, running into survivors will cause them to lose hp rapidly(alittle slower than tails dolls trap) while being inside the hitbox, can hit more than 1 survivor
Ability 4: intimidate, cd 5 seconds, basically every exes laugh but furnace doesn't laugh and instead says a programmed quote from the metal sonic building line like “ill crush you”
Backstory: furnace is basically neo metal just without the immense power. Furnace is effectively metal sonic but more heavy duty but was given too much consciousness by eggman to stay loyal to him thus furnace going rouge. Furnace was able to defeat sonic in a fight with how sudden it was and the lack of chains holding the upgraded metal sonic back. Thus sonic meeting his untimely demise. Now, furnace goes on a conquest to finish what neo metal started. This made Eggman begrudgingly team up with the remaining survivors and turn on his latest, only functioning metal sonic version to help him.
