Ontar

Comic

* Chapter 46

## **Ontar, The Engineer**

Ontar is a street-raised engineer from New Satra, of short height and with long unkempt dark red hair. He also almost always wears old goggles he got from his father. After reuniting with his last remaining family member Ontar managed to finish Satran Academy with good grades thanks to his outstanding skills in engineering and modern golemancy. He is very resourceful and can craft wondrous devices out of literal junk, so with the access of the best tools and materials avaible on Greavesoyl that The Gatekeepers can provide he created multiple defensive Turrets that protect Gatekeepers base in Lost Halls under New Satra. He is also apparently the only person in Satra who managed to reverse engineer ancient techology of spectres.

Unlike his uncle, Ontar is rather shy and humble despite his great skills and importance to Gatekeepers operations. If given a possibility, he will always try to learn new things and challenge himself with thing like reverse engineering ancient technology or optimizing creations of others. By doing the latter he got himself some enemies in form of envious rich Satran inventors.

## **Story**

Since he was a kid playing with trash fallen from High City Ontar loved to create things. He crafted his own tools and used them to build simple machines that he tried to sell with not much success on this field. Things got complicated when his father got ill and after long struggle - died. All he left for Ontar was pair of old googles and empty apartment in the outskirts. Ontar always had the skills necessery to build great machinery, yet he lacked connections and papers that would let him sell his creations. Things only went worse and Ontar would become just another junkie from Satran slums with big dreams he would never fulfill, if not a man who one day knocked to his door.

Old researcher from High City who spend few last months looking for his sister found out that she was long dead, and insted came back with his nephew. Ontar quickly proved to his uncle what he is capable of by accidentally almost killing him with his prototype of defensive turret he never could finish. Influential old researcher from High City was just the right person Ontar needed, and he managed to impress him. Uncle paid for his education in Satran Academy where he got Satran Engineer License and could finally monetize his works. That is exactly what Ontar did *officially*. Uncle admired his talend and even considered Ontar his equal. He got him a better job, something only Ontar could do.

Deep in the Lost Halls under Satra a group known as The Gatekeepers had big plans that weren't not just illegal, but also really dangerous. They worked with ancient spectre technology, a portal that could open a way to The Void where countless eternal ones were trapped with all of their power and secrets. Archeologist working with the organization managed to translate spectre runes on the portal but nobody, not even Ontar's uncle could fix it. Spectre Void portal was too much for one of the smartest people in Satra, the greatest challenge that Satran Engineer could find.

And Ontar proved to be the greatest Satran Engineer.

## **In-game**

Ontar's playstyle is very defensive, heavily relying on his Turrets to deal most of damage. His other abilities help him in dealing additional damage and slowing enemies down so Turrets and his teammates can land attacks more easily.

Abilities
Turrets can be destroyed by enemy team and all despawn when Ontar is killed, banished, or moves further than 15 blocks away
 E.B.T.D.
After 2 seconds all Turrets shoot a damaging projectile at marked enemy
Turrets shoot in order from newest to oldest one with 1 second delay between each shoot
 Toxic Disorder
Gas slows enemies by 30% for 2 seconds, inflicts nausea for 6 seconds and poison dealing damage over time

## **Trivia**

* Ontar has extreme acrophobia (fear of heights).
* All names of his abilities are references to System of a Down songs.
* With 2.0 character select rework and introduction of subclasses Moris would be the only summoner, so Ontar's kit was designed to be easy to play summoner.
