    Heres my entry:
    Tinker by DrPeckers

    Rather complex, but a quite unique and powerful hero.

    Edit: How should we name these heroes? If everyone names the hero Tinker, HD could be confusing very easily.

    Why is it so complicated?

    To challenge you.

    To be clear while I posted mine today, it is a hero I have been working on for monthes now. I just got lucky that a contest similar to the hero design came along.

    Can we adjust the backstory to better fit our hero?

    Nope. Idea here is that you make your hero fit the story, not the other way around.

    Inb4 Rearm ultimates.

    This synergy with the Builder and Demolitionist reminds me of Steamflogger Boss; referring to heroes/items/concepts that don't exist yet.
    The sign of lost Carcosa appeared in the air, paralyzing us with dread older than the very idea of time.
    As we looked on in horror, the unholy sign dissolved into a lone figure, shrouded in yellow.

    So what happens if i refer to the Builder and the Demolisher in my skills, but aren't actually part of the skill mechanics? Does that work under the contest rules?(For an example of what I'm talking about, see my unfinished hero in the draft section.)

    Well actually it's more that I had 2 concepts for this hero but didn't make either one. One would get 2 additional heroes from his ultimate (one at 6, the other at 11, bonuses to all at 16), the other one simply had abilities that would spawn either the builder or the demolitionist to actually "do" the skill.

    Well, not exactly. The first skill really has nothing to do with the Builder as such, since it really is just the Tinkers "habit" to enhance things. For the second skill it's kinda fine as long as the Demolisher comes along and actually does the exploding.
