Champion idea (no concept art, just a lore since I can't draw)
So a few months ago, I was writing a lore for a Shadow Isles ADC named Crowley, The Living Ghost. Sadly, when Kalista was released I kinda gave up on Crowley as a champion (I'll just use him for my own stories xD). So I went back to an idea I had long before Crowley. A top lane fighter/tank from Mt. Targon by the name of Helion, the Fury of The Sun. I finished the lore just a few minutes ago and I was told this was a good place to share it so here goes:
"They wanted a weapon. We made something terrible." - Pantheon, The Artisan of War
Deep in the chambers of Mt. Targon, the Solari were forging a weapon to contest the neighboring nations should the need ever arise. The weapon was a boy named Helion. Pantheon was placed in charge of his training, molding him into a fierce fighter as he grew into a young man. As the years passed, Helion felt an inexplicable connection to his mentor, as though they had met somewhere before. This connection was also felt by Pantheon, which deeply concerned him. Any one of Mt. Targon's fine soldiers could have trained the boy--he was chosen for a reason.
Now a young man, the Solari decided Helion was ready to leave the training chamber and venture out to see his beloved Mt. Targon. He was confused at first. The ways of the Solari seemed alien to him. His training under Pantheon did not include the worship of the Sun. But this living weapon would soon face his first challenge in the form of a woman stumbling into him, knocking them both down. Frantic, the woman apologized repeatedly as she collected herself. Helion happily insisted no apology was necessary and gave his name. The woman presented herself as Diana. The young boy had made his first friend outside the training chamber.
A year later, Leona mentors Helion in the ways the Solari and the worship of the Sun. Being surrounded by so much friendship and affection, the living weapon slowly strayed from his intended course and became a simple boy. Regardless of the years of training, Pantheon is relieved at this change deep down. He believed he was never meant for the horrors or war. The Solari did not share the sentiment.
One afternoon, Helion approached a very distressed Diana and asked her about her troubles. She explained everything about her recent discovery of an ancient temple where long ago, people worshiped the moon as she did. She told him of how the Elders "frowned upon" her discovery, to put it mildly for the innocent lad. Helion smiled and promised her all would be well. "The overly optimistic promise of a boy", Diana muttered. Suddenly, the two were surrounded by guards. Helion had no idea what would happen and begged for an answer that never came. In the blink of an eye, the guards were taking his friend away. Traumatized, he ran to his room to weep in solitude. But this was just the beginning.
On that very night, Helion heard a scream from his quarters in the training chamber. He rushed out to find the source, only to find the temple up in flames, blood splattered all across the courtyards, bodies everywhere. "Who would do this? Who?!", Helion screamed in tears. And at the center of the flames, the blood and the death stood Diana. His friend.
Feelings of friendship and affection instantly became a blinding rage and thirst for vengeance. He screamed his final words to Diana not as her friend, but as the living weapon of the Solari. He promised he would be coming for her, he would find her, defeat her and she would suffer a murderer's punishment under the scorching fury of his light.
With those final words he arms himself with the Solari's most powerful weapon, his birthright and with a terrifying rage, he declares to all Runeterra that the Longest Day is coming.
And that's about it. Helion is a young man, let's say 17-19 and he fights with a blade of concentrated sunlight, and like Leona, all his skills channel sunlight. Here are his skills and abilities:
Passive: Scorching Rage: After the 3rd skill cast, Helion's next basic attack deals magic damage on a percentage of his maximum armor.
Q: Piercing Ray: Helion channels his blade into a spear-like tip, dealing attack damage and increasing Helion's attack speed by %5 (scales with level)
W: Targon's Aegis: (Toggle cast) Helion charges a shield of sunlight, reducing his movement speed by 5% and increasing his armor and magic resist by 15% (+5% max health). Upon second cast, Helion discharges the shield, reducing his armor and magic resist by 15% and increasing his movement speed by 15%
E: Raging Dawn: Helion leaps towards target enemy unit, dealing attack damage and slowing them by 10% for 2 seconds
R: The Longest Day: Helion spreads his wings and takes to the sky, unleashing the fury of the Sun and blinding all enemy units for 3 seconds, dealing magic damage and revealing hidden enemies
And that's all I got! If you like it, feedback would be appreciated, if you don't like it, well.....be nice about it, please? XD
