[Champion Concept] Acia, The Feline mistress of Thread
LORE
Life has a rather quick and sadistic way of changing all that...
And for Acia, it all started with a simple cough from her Owner's son.
In the beginning, her Owner's son was a bright and cheerful boy, as healthy as can be be, but...
All good things come to an end.
As time went on, her Owner's son's condition got worse and worse while he expended his efforts to find a cure throughout all of Valoran, searching desperately in hopes of finding something. Not even her Mistress' magic could cure him. This went on for a full three months before it all ended on a stormy night. As her owner's son laid in his bed with raspy breaths, Acia brought hold of her favorite yarn and snuggled underneath his weak and thin arm. It took all of his strength to simply turn his head and look at her with a frail smile. He proceeded to pet her like he usually did, but the caresses were slow, shallow and limited. He was surrounded by his loving parents and beloved pet cat. He proceeded to open his mouth to say something, but along with the candle that rested by his bedside, he took his last breath and finally... he passed on, and so went the flicker of the candle, leaving only a faint trail of smoke and what was left within the room were only the sound of heartbroken tears.
But things only got worse.
In the following days that turned into weeks that turned into months, Acia's owner had fallen into a deep depression and had shown no signs of coming out of and at that point, her Mistress had enough. She was devastated at the loss of her son, but she knew that sulking in pity was no way to honor her son's life.
so...
She left her husband, wishing him the best in hopes of recovering.
But, it wasn't enough. At this point, he had nothing to lose anymore, and he saw one option left to get his son back. Under the cover of night, he took the perserved corpse of his son's body, and Acia with him and traveled to the Forbidden(?) Voodooo Lands, where magic was at it's strongest.
Acia's watched as the kind and gentle human who was her owner, transform into a shell of his former self. As he preformed the dark ritual with high hopes of reviving his son, something went horribly wrong. In that instant, there was a massive explosion of magic energy that engulfed Acia, her Onwer and the owner's son in a bright light. The blast knocked the cat into a nearby wall, knocking her unconconscious and forcing the hut collapse on them.
And then silence.
By the time she awake, Acia felt... different. Like she was herself, but at the same time, not herself. Instincts took over and she proceeded to stand, but she simply fell down and caught herself by landing on her hand? She looked down to see that her paws were now hands, still covered in fur, but now, hands!
"Hands?!" She gasped when the sudden realization just hit her, and her hands went to her neck and felt her throat. "I can speak? How? When?" she questioned herself. She proceeded to stand again and this time, succeeding. Still wobbly and a bit unbalanced, but standing. She looked around to see the remains of the hut that she and owner moved to, was now in shambles, seeing that both her owner and his son gone, she fell to the ground, and the tears began to pour.
The explosion caught the attention of Gergori and Amoline Hastur.
Within the following days of getting to know the feline morph; Acia, they induced her to the League of Legends, in hopes that she could regain what she has lost.

Passive - Ariadne's Thread: Acia has a set amount of times that she can use her passive before it goes into cooldown after use. She has 4 chances before cool down. Each time she uses one of her spells and recalls them back, she regains the amount she expanded but it will cost her 1 AT point. The more times uses her spells and recalls them, they take away from the gauge. (Example: uses her Q, W, or E spells and recalls them, the AT points drop: 4 =>3 =>2 =>1 => cooldown. If you place all three down at the same time and recall them all, you lose those three points. And the cooldown is LONG. Once the AT points are gone, the cool down is approx. 100s. So use them wisely.
(Sidenote: For those of you wondering what Ariadne's Thread is, The gist of it is: At any moment that there is a choice to be made, make one arbitrarily from those not already marked as failures, and follow it logically as far as possible.
And/Or
If a contradiction results, back up to the last decision made, mark it as a failure, and try another decision at the same point. If no other options exist there, back up to the last place in the record that does, mark the failure at that level, and proceed onward.)
*Q: Cat's Cradle: Range 535 (CD: 13/12/11/10/9) (Mana 70/80/90/95/100)
Active: selecting from set array of String tricks. Acia has the option of using one of those four choices and placing them on the ground for enemy champions to trip, after walking over it. These can not be tripped by minons, they'll be afflicted by the effects only, but once the effects wear off, they'll bypass it normally.
Figure 1: A sunset *Inflicts burn status for 1.0s (Link: http://www.stringfigures.info/cfj/sunset.html )
Figure 2: Many Stars *Inflicts daze for 1.0s (Link: http://www.stringfigures.info/cfj/many-stars.html )
Figure 3: Lightning *Inflicts stun for 1.0s (Link: http://www.stringfigures.info/cfj/lightning.html )
Figure 4: A Saw Mill *Inflicts bleeding effect for 1.0s (Link: http://www.stringfigures.info/cfj/saw-mill.html )
*Sidenote :Think along the lines of TF's Q, except it has no time gauge, so take as long as you want, but you can't just throw on an enemy champion, you have trick them, like Jinx. I would say Ziggs, but he has SF or surrounding fire. Also, *recalling this spell will cost you one AT point.
*Second Sidenote : When tripped by an enemy, you'll regain a 10% of your expanded mana. Meaning, you'll save one AT point, (AT point's don't stack. That'd be too OP)
*W: Woven protection: Range: 425 (CD: 5.5s) Mana Cost: (25/30/35/40/45)
Active: Acia creates a shield of thread that protects 80dmg from magic attacks. She can cast it on either herself or an ally within range. *This spell cost 1 AT point if recalled.
*E Assaulting thread: Range: 500 (CD: 3.5s) Mana Cost: (15/20/25/30/35)
Active: Acia will place an area of her yarn in a spot and any enemy that comes near will be struck repeatedly for 2 seconds (or duration of it's time runs out) until they are out of it's range(350). It's will attack both enemy champions and minions alike. *can be attacked.
*Sidenote : You can place up to three threads, each costing 5 points of mana apiece. (Example 3 threads: 1=5 mana, 2=5 mana, 3=5 mana going by addition NOT multiplication *Retracting this spell three times is the equivalent cost 1 AT point
*R Severed Fate: Range: **Global (CD: 200/180/160) ** Mana cost: (160/190/200)
Active: After pulling up the enemy champions' picture, Acia will proceed to channel her power into the thread latch onto the enemies, regardless of position on the map. The enemies will be ensnared with a red thread and Acia will proceed to drain the life from them No, she doesn't gain the health they lose and dealing magic damage.
Sidenote: This spell can be cancelled and held off for at least 10s (once the 10s are up, it will active automatically), but, it will cost you ALL of your AT points
Second sidenote: unlike Karthus's Ult, her's act differently. if the enemy has 100% and the ult is activated, (depending on the AP you have) it will inflict stun for 2.5s, if the enemy is at 50% or below that, it will inflict slow for 2.5s and if the enemy is at or below 15% of their of the health, it will instantly kill them.

So guys, tell me what you think of her? I'm still working her out, feel free to tell me what needs to be done to make her more balanced? Constructive criticism is welcomed, but no flames. Also, I'm photoshopping her character atm, so standby for that.
