Nexus Heroes / Lifeline

Lifeline is a playable character in Nexus Heroes, hailing from the Apex Legends series, which is set in the same universe as Titanfall, the same from which Ash hails from.
== Who is Lifeline? ==
===THE COMBAT MEDIC===
The unsuspecting child of two war profiteers, Ajay Che fled from her home and family once she discovered the vicious business of her parents, deciding to join the Frontier Corps to become a combat medic. To financially support the humanitarian organization she's a part of, Ajay, now known as Lifeline, makes the difficult and morally ambiguous choice of partaking in the lucrative but bloody sport of the Apex games, supporting her teammates with her medic expertise and her robot companion D.O.C. 
==Gameplay==
===Overview ===
Lifeline is a lightweight fighter who makes use of her medical robot companion D.O.C in the battlefield to dominate the stage like few other characters can. D.O.C can be placed anywhere on the stage, at which point it'll attack whenever Lifeline does, effectively having her attacks come out in two places at the same time. As well as this trick, Lifeline can use the robot to create a projectile-negating shield for a short time, or use it to recover.
As useful as he is, however, D.O.C can also be attacked and destroyed by opponents, after which Lifeline will have to wait for it to respawn (which takes a few seconds), losing access to pretty much all of her specials in the meantime (aside from her recovery, which is replaced by a different move altogether). As well as this, players who decide to use Lifeline will have to be mindful of her light weight and weak attacks, an often off-putting set of attributes to have. However, a clever use of D.O.C makes Lifeline a force to be reckon with in battle, and true to her nature, she proves especially useful during team battles.

Dash Attack
Dash,	Dash Slide 	Slides across the ground, tripping hitting opponents with her leg.
Side Tilt 	Wingman Shot 	A quick shot from the WIngman pistol, which travels a short distance and makes opponents flinch. Has a bit of start lag.
When separated from Lifeline, D.O.C performs the same attack as his Neutral Attack when doing a Side Tilt.
Up Tilt 	Adrenaline Kick 	A rotating kick aimed upward, which drags opponents above Lifeline.
When separated from Lifeline, D.O.C will quickly hop upward for his Up Tilt, as if headbutting above itself.

Down Strong
+ 	Counter Shock 	Crouches, then stabs her Shock Sticks at each side, dealing ELECTRIC* type damage with each stick.

When separated from Lifeline, D.O.C performs its Up Tilt for its Up Aerial.
Down Aerial
Airborne	Peacemaker 	Rotates at a downward angle while spinning with her Shock Sticks outward, dealing ELECTRIC* type damage and slamming opponents to the ground.
When separated from Lifeline, D.O.C performs its Down Tilt for its Down Aerial.
Grab 	Grab 	Grabs the opponent with one hand.
Pummel
, 	Lesion 	Hits the opponent with her knee.
Forward Throw
,	Peace Out 	Quickly twirls and does a "V" sign with her fingers, then knocks the opponent away with a swing from one of her Shock Sticks.
Back Throw
, 	Sleep Tight 	Stabs her Shock Sticks in the opponent's chest, running electricity through them, then moves at their back and kicks them away.
Up Throw
, 	Uplifting 	Lifeline lies down on one side, posing with a "V" sign, then kicks the opponent upward from the ground, and gets back up.
Down Throw
, 	Shock Vibes 	Points her Shock Sticks at the opponent's head, running electricity through them, then slams them to the ground with one of the Sticks.
Floor Attack
Grounded >	Windmill 	Performs a breakdance-like spin, hitting at both sides.
Edge Attack
Ledge >	Electric Feeling 	A low to the ground swipe of one of her Shock Sticks, dealt as she climbs back onto the stage.
NEUTRAL SPECIAL	D.O.C Shock 	D.O.C produces an electric burst from itself, which causes low knockback and deals ELECTRIC* type damage. It works the same whether the robot is with Lifeline or separated, and it's especially useful for combos because of its low knockback and how quickly it comes out.
SIDE SPECIAL 	D.O.C Shield 	D.O.C produces an energy shield in front of Lifeline, which negates incoming projectiles of all kinds. The shield disappears on its own after 8 seconds, or sooner if it sustains sufficient damage. After one shield disappears, Lifeline has to wait ten seconds before spawning another one.
This move does not work if D.O.C is separated from Lifeline.
UP SPECIAL 	D.O.C Lift / Boosters 	Lifeline hangs onto D.O.C, which floats upward for three seconds, before she lets go and becomes helpless. During its ascent, players are able to control D.O.C's direction, and pressing the jump button allows Lifeline to cancel the move earlier, avoiding entering the free fall state. If D.O.C is separated from Lifeline upon activation, it'll immediately return to her.
If D.O.C has been destroyed, this move becomes Boosters, in which Lifeline rises upward for a short distance with the aid of some boosters mounted on her belt, which leave a red smoke trail behind her. The direction can be altered during the activation. Once D.O.C respawns, this move reverts back to D.O.C Lift.
DOWN SPECIAL 	D.O.C Placement > D.O.C Recall	Lifeline motions D.O.C to keep its position, and it'll then place itself wherever the move was activated. This enables its own attacks, which will come out whenever Lifeline herself attacks. Pressing the input again will have D.O.C instantly return to Lifeline's side.
FINISHER 	Combat Revive 	Lifeline deploys D.O.C to the center of the stage while saying "Listen up, health drone deployed!". D.O.C then produces a healing field which Lifeline or her allies can use to heal themselves for five seconds in total, healing themselves for as long as they stay within the drone's field's range. If Lifeline doesn't have teammates, she'll heal at a much quicker rate.
===Intro Animation===
Drops in from above while posing, then D.O.C comes out, and she'll nod at him, getting ready to fight.
===Taunt===
Two other small drones float in front of Lifeline, lining up with D.O.C to create a drum set, which she then plays with her Shock Sticks. The music she plays is an electric drum cover of an extract of "You Are The Jumpmaster", from the soundtrack of Apex Legends.
===Idle Poses===
*Poses with a "V" sign, and smiling at the camera. If D.O.C isn't separated from her, she'll lean on it during this pose.
*Stretches herself. If D.O.C isn't separated from her, she'll lean on it with her bottom while stretching.

==Arcade Mode==
True to the matches in Apex Legends, Lifeline and her robotic companion are faced with teams of three foes each, with every group following a specific theme. The first round sees her fighting Rayman, Crash and Spyro, who all are platforming heroes from the old days. Then, the second encounter is against three police officers ; Leon, Chun-Li and Blaze.
After she completes the first Bonus Stage, Lifeline fights a team of three famously silent characters : Gordon, Chell and Jacket. After that, it's up against three soldiers who fought many wars : Master Chief, Marco and Peashooter.
Finally, after going through a second Bonus Stage, Lifeline is faced with three heavyweight fighters, in a team composed of Rick, Delta and Nightmare. Following this match, Lifeline and D.O.C go up against their Rivals : Ratchet & Clank. Their battle is titled "Interplanetary Duos", and references how both Lifeline and Ratchet fight with a robotic companion at their side, as well as both being from other planets other than Earth.
