"I am not a pile of goo. I am merely piloting a pile of goo!"

Viscous is an approximately goo-shaped entity who spreads himself all around to disrupt and damage groups of enemies. With his long range and repeating stuns, he acts as a support nuker who creates space for his allies while softening up enemies. He can splatter his body and leave viscous puddles that bounce and slow enemies, and when that fails, he can puddle punch them and knock them out of position. When he's low on health, or needs to avoid whatever the enemy is doing, he can use The Cube to protect his plasma. And when he needs to avoid all subtlety, he can turn into a massive green ball that rams into enemies at incredible speed.

Backstory

A Fate's Tale

The Bermuda Triangle was never a myth, it was a shadowline nexus deep underneath the Atlantic Ocean. For the most part, the things that escaped this astral gate were benign (like Nessie), but now something dark and predatory known only as The Adversary hunts the seas... And ocean denizens are scared to death.

One of those inhabitants, a psychic sea anemone, wants to do something about it. Summoning an ectoplasmic goo body to traverse the surface, Viscous is desperately trying to summon the Patrons in order to keep the deep safe from the horror that lurks below.
