Xander - The Great Avenger
Lore
Xander was once a normal man who grew up in a small village, a village that was constantly attacked by Fiends of the Shadow Isles, mainly because of it was built atop an ancient burial ground, which housed great fallen mages. There were never extended moments of peace, but he and his people were always protected by various heroes. Xander, a young boy, was saved during an invasion by a heroine. She carried a large crossbow. From that day forward, he wanted to fight evil and become a hero. As he matures, He acquired an affinity for magic and sorcery. He traveled all over to study the arts, but never used or spoke of the power he acquired. He even sought the teachings of Ryze, a mage he only heard stories of, but could not reach him. Even with the great power he acquired, his heart remained pure.
In secrecy, he practiced both pure magic and dark arts, and despite being self taught, he exhibited exceptional skills, almost rivaling that of Runeterra's best. He gained a juvenile mastery of the art of healing, energy projection, astral magic, and casting illusions, but there soon came a time when he would have to use this power for the safety of his people. His first battle came when his town was yet again haunted by nightmares from the Shadow Isles. He alone defeated the evil spirits with his new found power, surprisingly not afraid, and also healed those who were injured. When the battle ended, he thought he'd be shunned for his power, but the town regarded him as a hero, and soon thereafter, named him the Great Protector.
Peace was restored, but only for a short while. Repeated attacks left traces of negative energy in his town, and some townsfolk had fallen ill. He did his best to heal those who afflicted, but unfortunately was not strong enough. This is when his greatest battle came, when his town was now targeted by Mordekaiser. The metal giant came roaring through, destroying many who stood against him, and taking the afflicted for his own personal gain. Xander, fearful, but ready to put his name to the test, and protect the people. He stepped out and battle Mordekaiser, but could not defeat him. Beaten nearly to death, he laid at Mordekaiser's feet, still trying to muster up strength to fight. Mordekaiser did not kill him, but challenged him again to a rematch in the Shadow Isles, to reclaim the souls of his people and avenge the fallen. He then cursed Xander, increasing his power, but putting his life of a timer. If he doesn't defeat Mordekaiser within two years time, Xander's soul would become his.
Now Xander travels the world, training, mastering his new strength, saving those who are afflicted by evil, and readying for the day he heads to the Shadow Isles to face Mordekaiser once more, and avenge his people, and those defeated at the hands of darkness.
Skills:
Passive: Protector/Avenger Xander gains a percentage of nearby fallen allies AD and AP, half of which is lost upon his death Xander also grants nearby allies increased AP and AD based on his maximum health
Q: Dark Explosion Xander fires a ball of dark energy that explodes on the first enemy hit and slows all those in the AOE effect range. If the ball hits an enemy champion first, the cooldown of this spell is reduced by one second
W: Spectral Double Xander clones a nearby ally champion for a few seconds. The clone has a percentage of the targets bonus health and the allied champion becomes untargettable for the duration or until the clone is destroyed. The clone does zero damage.
E: Shriek Xander lets out an unholy scream that stuns the first enemy hit for 1 second. Enemies behind the target are feared
R: Unmatched Power Passive: Xander's abilities do a percentage of his maximum health in damage Active: Xander marks an allied champion. If he is slain, 50% of his AP and AD transfers to the target ally for a few seconds. The marks transfers to the nearest ally if the initial target is killed, until it expires of Xander revives
(Not sure about the ratios of abilities)
cough). If he gets a percentage of 476AP, then dies in a team fight and someone like Soraka got half of his AP?
and
, which means Xander would probably make a sufficient Jungler if someone wanted to do that. His E would be great for ganks, while his w would be like using Shaco's ult on an ally, but better (again, imagine invincible Aggro
).
only better because instead of targeting one enemy champ, it does AOE. A move like that which an AD/AP leech is fantastic in a team fight, in my opinion.
