Vamporcini (PvZ: BfN)

__NOTOC__
Vamporcini is a playable plant class in Plants vs. Zombies: Battle for Neighborville. He specializes in being able to take a lot of hits thanks to his ability to steal zombie health and add it to his own health pool. As he damages zombies, he drains their health and increases his own maximum health - making him a super powerful tank. However, it takes a little bit of effort to get rolling.
By default, Vamporcini moves 25% faster than other characters. However, this speed boost is decreased by 5% for every 20 extra health Vamporcini has, until he starts moving slower instead. In addition, when a zombie is vanquished and waiting to be revived, Vamporcini can "interact" with their body to render them unrevivable and convert 25% of their maximum health into health for himself (for example, consuming an All-Star and gaining 50 health from him).
==Description==
===In-game description===
Vamporcini saps health from his opponents to make himself more durable, and has a host of terrifying tricks to terrorize the enemy!
==Primary Weapon==
Vamporcini's primary weapon is the Drain Fever, a close-range spray attack that deals 5 damage in a 4-meter area in front of Vamporcini, and increases his maximum health by 1 every time it deals damage - there is no limit on how high his maximum health can go. Drain Fever fires at a rate of 800 RPM (rounds per minute) or RPS (rounds per second) with DPS ( health increase per second). After being fired for too long, the attack overheats for 3 seconds.
==Abilities==
===Vamportal===
When activated, Vamporcini immediately teleports a distance of 25 meters and resets Drain Fever's overheat progress. This ability is useful for closing the gap between Vamporcini and an opponent, or getting out of a sticky situation if needed. In addition, all enemies in the path of Vamporcini's teleport will suffer 20 damage, and Vamporcini's maximum health will be increased by 5 for each enemy damaged. It takes 15 seconds to recharge.
===Beastly Feast===
When activated, Vamporcini emits a spooky aura with a radius of 30 meters that deals 2 damage to all zombies inside of it constantly, every 0.25 seconds for a total of 8 damage every second. In addition, Vamporcini's maximum health is increased by 1 every time a zombie is hurt, which is a total of 4 health per second. Since this stacks with multiple zombies, and because the ability has such a large radius, Vamporcini can rack up health quickly. In addition, when the ability is activated, any zombie bodies that could be consumed in the area are automatically consumed (and for 35% health instead of the usual 25%). The aura lasts for 10 seconds. It takes 25 seconds to recharge.
===Bat Cover===
When activated, Vamporcini gains a spooky bat forcefield that lasts for up to 10 seconds if not hit. If the forcefield is hit, the attack that hit it won't deal any damage to Vamporcini, but will instead increase his maximum health for half of whatever damage it would have done. For example, if Vamporcini blocks a 50-damage attack with Bat Cover, his maximum health is increased by 25. Obviously, this is not as useful if he blocks a 4-damage Imp hit. It takes 11 seconds to recharge once the forcefield is consumed.
