 Crusader
 He fights because it is all he knows anymore. He was once an ordinary man, but the darkness of war will reshape anyone with enough time. Changed as he was, he left his old life behind. No wife to love, no son to raise. Only a sword, a banner, and a righteous mission - to smite the wicked and cleanse the world. He fights because it is all he knows anymore. And until the sinful masses have been purged, his crusade will never end. 
 
 CombatAbilities
 
 
Holy Lance Skill 	The Crusader rushes across the ground and stabs his sword forwards, knocking frontal enemies backwards across the ground. Critical: The Crusader stabs straight past the enemy instead of knocking them away, freezing them in place briefly. When he lowers his sword, the struck enemy will suddenly be blasted away.
Ascendant Smite Skill 	The Crusader slashes his blade skywards while leaping upwards, knocking the enemy into the air with him. Its partial invincibility at the start makes it an ideal reversal. Critical: The Crusader bathes his sword in divine light prior to the uppercut, increasing the attack's range and power.
Stunning Blow Skill 	The Crusader leaps a short distance forwards and swings his sword downwards on the enemy's head. An ideal move for mix-ups. Critical: Greatly empowered, the swing becomes strong enough to totally shatter the enemy's guard regardless of their current stance.
Bulwark of Faith Skill	The Crusader conjures a magical shield that pushes forwards. This projectile is a bit on the weak side, but completely swallows non-Critical projectile attacks, making it a solid defensive tool. Critical: The magic shield summoned by this version of the attack is significantly more durable. It doesn't move as slowly, but can deal damage to enemies multiple times.
 
 
 Highwayman
 He fights to repent for the blood already on his hands. Innocent blood, taken by accident and reflex on what was supposed to be the theft of some wealthy cargo. Tortured by the thought of what he's done, he turns his keen eye and quick fingers towards nobler pursuits in the hopes of making amends for his crime. He fights to repent for the blood already on his hands. And he won't stand by while others make the same mistakes he did. 
 
 CombatAbilities
 
 
Wicked Slice Skill 	The Highwayman leaps forwards while slashing his dagger in front of him, both approaching the enemy and dealing damage. The leap can be used to dodge low projectiles or ground-based hazards. Critical: The Highwayman slashes wildly during the leap, dealing heavy damage and clashing against any attacks the enemy tries to throw out at him.
Grapeshot Blast Skill 	The Highwayman pulls out a stubby shotgun and fires a spread-shaped blast directly forwards, launching both the Highwayman and his enemy backwards. Critical: A more powerful shot accompanied by a forward lunge, effectively extending the range. Deals heavy Stress damage.
Pistol Shot Skill 	While in midair, the Highwayman points his pistol downwards and fires it at the enemy from above. Critical: The Highwayman fires a rapid volley of pistol shots at the enemy to chip away at them.
Duelist's Advance Skill	The Highwayman briefly enters a tensed stance. If struck by a non-Critical attack in this stance, he'll quickly dodge backwards out of its path and then lunge back in to strike with his dagger. Critical: The Highwayman immediately performs both the dodge and the follow-up lunge, without the need to be hit by an enemy attack. During the dodge, he's invulnerable, while during the lunge, he has super armor.
 
 
 Plague Doctor
 She fights to uncover the secrets of biology. Waging an uphill battle against both the devout and the superstitious, she learned everything she could from dissection and study. Even after her old tutor's death from plague, he still helped to teach her when she cut his body open to learn the impetus of his demise. She fights to uncover the secrets of biology. And she can't wait to learn about what secrets hide in the bodies of this bunch of freaks. 
 
 CombatAbilities
 
 
Plague Grenade Skill 	The Plague Doctor tosses a small bomb through the air. When the bomb lands or hits an enemy, it explodes in a burst of damage, but leaves behind emerald gas that can deal a bit of chip damage to enemies standing in it until it fades. Critical: The gasses created by the Plague Grenade reach much farther and last much longer, and generate Stress over time as well as dealing damage.
Blinding Gas Skill 	The Plague Doctor throws a bomb at her feet, vanishing in a burst of smoke. She reappears at a different point on the battlefield in a similar burst of smoke. Critical: The Plague Doctor reappears directly behind the enemy, and time briefly slows to give her an opening to attack.
Disorienting Blast Skill 	The Plague Doctor throws a bomb at her feet, as if using Blinding Gas. Instead of covering her in a smokescreen, however, the bomb bounces off of the ground before exploding in front of her, briefly stunning the enemy. Critical: The Plague Doctor throws the stun bomb through the air, like with Plague Grenade, and its stunning explosion has increased range.
Battlefield Medicine Skill	The Plague Doctor raises a strange vial to her mask and breathes it in, restoring a small bit of her health and curing her of negative conditions. Critical: The Plague Doctor's medicine leaves a cloud in the air that grants her a bit of passive regeneration and renders her immune to negative conditions. Until the Critical's effects fade, she can also gain these benefits from her Plague Grenade clouds.
 
 
 Vestal
 She fights for the connections she makes with others. Forced into the life of a nun from a young age, she secretly fantasizes about the lives led by the ones who are free to live and love. And though she bears the sanctifying powers of the Light against the darkness, she still finds herself drawn to the others. She fights for the connections she makes with others. And she'll do anything to stop them from leaving her side. 
 
 CombatAbilities
 
 
Illumination Skill 	The Vestal conjures a sphere of light in the air in front of her. The sphere explodes in a burst of radiance on contact with the enemy. Critical: In addition to being bigger and hitting multiple times, the sphere casts off a radiant glow that can temporarily lessen the effects of the current Light Level on the Vestal. It doesn't completely negate the Stress generation that occurs at zero Light, but it slows it by just a little.
Hand of Light Skill 	The Vestal raises her mace and conjures an enormous glowing fist that bursts out of the ground in front of her, launching enemies backwards and upwards. Critical: The Vestal conjures a circle of light on the ground. If the enemy steps on the circle, the glowing fist will be summoned in that spot and launch them directly upwards, dealing increased damage.
Dazzling Light Skill	The Vestal releases a blinding burst of light from her club at short range, which can briefly freeze the enemy in place on an unblocked hit. Critical: The range of the Vestal's blast and the duration of its stun effect are increased. Additionally, any light spheres summoned with Illumination will detonate and stun enemies.
Divine Grace Skill 	The Vestal casts a holy spell that restores a bit of health to one of her allies. Critical: The Vestal casts an amplified spell that restores both allies' health, along with her own.
 
==Trivia==
* This is actually IncarnateParanoia's second attempt at applying mechanics and characters from Darkest Dungeon to a fighting game setting, the first being Super Smash Bros. Ultimate x Darkest Dungeon. The latter wound up being the primary inspiration for Darkest Dungeon: Blood Feud.
