Grout: The Replaceable
"Bring your worst. I fear no death you can offer me."
Grout is a different kind of marksman. Not much of a burster, and his okay dps doesn't make him great at tank-busting or structure taking. But with his kit, and a little tankiness, Grout excels at hunting down carries.
Grout was once the most health-conscious man in Zaun, taking every step possible to preserve his well-being. He imported natural, healthier foods from outside of the city. He wore a filtration mask all hours of the day. He went to Piltover to bathe. None of this was cheap, of course. Grout kept himself out of debt with one of the best-paying jobs Zaun had to offer people without connections: bounty hunter. He'd chase any target that had a price to go with it, and took assassination jobs on the side. That is, until the day he shot one of the Chem Baron's nephews.
Grout wasn't popular with anybody, and posters offering a reward for HIS head soon flooded the streets. Grout had nobody to turn to, but a drone appeared in front of him one day, promising to lead him to safety. He wound up in an underground workshop, headed by a cyborg by the name of Viktor. Viktor promised him another chance at life, one that couldn't be taken away by violence or poor health. Grout immediately agreed.
When Grout woke up from the procedure, he didn't recognize his new body. It resembled a human, in some places. But it was clear that Grout was now, quite literally, a killing machine. Viktor explained the secret behind Grout's newfound immortality: Grout's brain was kept in a chamber, remotely controlling the robot body. Even in the event of the robot's destruction, a new one could be built and plugged into Grout. Impressed, but still a little worried, Grout began his new life as an enforcer.
Upon starting a game "Ah, fresh air. I assume." "Another day, another target."
Buying a potion (any kind) "Is this organic" "I'll find somewhere to pour it"
Respawning "Let's hope this body fares better." "Dying hasn't scared me in years."
