[Champion Concept] Jeffen, the Void Bard
Lore:
Jeffen Hanu's previous life wasn't precious to him and neither worthless, though he had no meaning of life until he abrupt started to travel from his homeland on the edge of Shurima Desert, to every possible location to offer his skills as a Bard.
For every Tavern he was playing on his Lute, the more entertaining and amusing the evenings became - until one day he exaggerated his capabilities of alcohol combined with his skills. Jeffen, who could not stand without shaking, thus played on his Lute as if a horde of cats were on the hunt.
Jeffen tried his best, but in the end the underskinker in person threw him out of the tavern, because he somehow managed to cause bleeding ears on the guests in the tavern.
In the meantime, a maiden came across the bridge into the alley, the moonlight was shining bright in Piltovers best time, while the maiden was dancing elegantly without music.
Jeffen sauntered to her and pleased her to dance for him, while he was playing on his Lute - though atrocious tones came out, the maiden danced as if it was for her live. She never felt the feeling to dance for someone, as she was only supposed to dance for herself.
Orianna was her name, a beautiful girl who's wish was to join one day the Institute of War, to become one of the same Champion she was fascinated of. Those dreams were not meant to last long - Orianna and Jeffen travelled several years around Valoran to entertain everyone with Jeffen's music and Orianna's dance.
Their love grew enormous and both never left their sides, until Orianna was kidnapped at one evening as Jeffen was deceived by alcohol and fame.
A group of bandits took her against her will and killed her in the process when she rebelled for her release. Jeffen found her corpse later when he searched for her. The body was humiliated, but her beauty was intact.
After Jeffen brought the corpse to her father, Corin Reveck was muted by nothing else than the feeling of losing the only thing that has held him in this world. Though nothing can be compared to the feeling of losing the own daughter, Jeffen almost felt the same pain as he lost his soulmate.
Jeffen's feeling overcame him, and so he tried to revenge his lost partner with punishing the murders of her. Unfortunately, he got caught because he was outnumbered by many - he was immediately sent to a group called 'Cult of the Void' to be a sacrifice to the Void.
Jeffen had no fear when he entered the Void - for him, it was kill or be killed, without Orianna he had no meaning of life anymore.
What happened next, was known as a mass murder on over fifty person. Jeffen appeared out of the Void Gate with a high-pitch frequence that almost sounded like music, he summoned a six-headed beast that devastated everything and everyone, including the murders of Orianna."
"Not any longer shall mortals listen to Jeffen's tales and prophecies for entertainment, but rather die in knowledge of this world soon end." - Malzahar, the Prophet of the Void
Appearance:
Jeffen, though corrupted by the Void, is more dependent on his Human side. The Void gives him powers where his mortal body fails. His feelings are the strongest weapons that he can manifest in the music he plays, to finally overcome those who not believe in the Void as the answer to everything. Because of this fact, Jeffen has long white hair with purple-void highlights. His eyes are covered in purple-void, his face is partially colored with purple-void. Instead of his ears (pinna), there is some sorta microphone/amplifier installed.
Here's a picture of what I think Jeffen should or could look like:

Abilities:
Foreword: Jeffen is supposed to be a Fighter/Offtank who can piss off a enemy with abilities which, if successfully executed, can offer the right cards. Even though two of his abilities are mainly there to CC, his other two abilities will deal great damage. His whole purpose is to overcome the enemy team with a ravenous Hydra, his Scythe and his Music. His weakness lies in lack of utility - that means, once executed, he can't escape.
Animations: I drew some sketches of Jeffen's ability animations, here
***Passive - "Master Exploder": ***
After three consecutive basic attacks, the next ability will provide additional effects. (Levels 1/7/12)
Wall of Sound: Deals bonus magic damage each second based on the enemy target's max health (+2%/+4%/+6% of max health)
Voidslide: On the end of the path, Jeffen also terrifies on arrival enemy targets around him, even if not directly hit.
Rock On: No Mana Cost
Painted Blood: Now additionaly slows the enemy target by the same percentage as Jeffen's current missing health for 1 seconds. (max 50% slow)
Bloodthirsty Hydra: For the duration of casting and animation, Jeffen becomes invulnerable to any CC.
***Q - "Wall of Sound" & "Voidslide": ***
If activated, Jeffen starts playing one of his songs for 4.5 seconds. While playing and walking, he deals damage to nearby enemy targets 400 range around him. Jeffen deals each second 50/65/80/95/110/125 (+45% Bonus AD) physical damage. Stuns can interrupt this ability and set it automatically on cooldown.
However, Jeffen can recast within those 4.5 seconds to perform "Voidslide".
If recast, Jeffen breaks up his current song and plays a deep song, he performs a 'Powerslide' up to a 650 range. Each enemy unit he comes in touch while powersliding, becomes terrified by the deep song for 1 seconds and flees in panic.
Cost: 45/55/65/75/85 Mana (Recast Cost: None)
Cooldown: 7/6.5/5.5/5/4.5 Seconds (Recast Cooldown: 17/15/13/11/9)
***W - "Rock On": ***
Jeffen chooses a location where a big void amplifier will raise out of a void gate on the ground. The pyramid-amplifier does knock up enemy Champions when directly cast underneath them and deals 10%/12%/14%/16%/18% of its missing health as magic damage. The void amplifier stays up to 20/25/30/35/40 seconds and has 50% of Jeffen's Health. Damage from monsters, minions and champions against the amplifier are increased by 50%. There can be only a max of 2 amplifiers at once.
Jeffen gains a new charge of "Rock On" periodically (this reload time is reduced by cooldown reduction) and can hold up to 2 charges at once.
However, if "Wall of Sound" is active while Jeffen is about 1000 range near the amplifier, the amplifier will deal 70%/80%/90%/100%/110% of "Wall of Sound"'s damage to his surroundings too.
Cost: 75/85/95/105/115 Mana
Cooldown: 1
Charge Reload Time: 21.5/19/17/15/13.5
E - "Painted Blood":
For the next 4.5 seconds, Jeffen's basic attacks becomes empowered, dealing bonus 5%/7%/9%/11%/15% of his bonus Health. In addition, the enemy target is marked by the Curse of the Void and receives +5% more damage done by Jeffen. This stacks up to 3 times and lasts 1.5 seconds. This can be only used on one target at once.
Cost: 55 Mana at all Ranks
Cooldown: 14.5/13/12.5/11/10.5
R - "Bloodthirsty Hydra":
Jeffen plays for 0.5 seconds a short and fast solo, then a Void Gate behind him appears. Six heads of a Hydra appear immediately out of the Gate and grabs for enemy Champions in a 450 range in front of them. Up to six Champions are getting knocked up by the Hydra and afterwards on landing receive 200/250/300 (+45% Bonus AD) physical damage.
Cost: 100 Mana at all Ranks.
Cooldown: 110/100/90
Special Emote:
(Dance) Two animations
- Jeffen falls down on his knees and plays a insane guitar solo.
- Jeffen grabs his guitar, raises a amplifier out of the ground and sets a foot on it, while he plays a insane guitar solo (like in the attachement.)
(I would recommend that the guitar solo can be different between 3 songs and not only one all the time. Here are the three different songs that can appear randomly by using the emote: http://youtu.be/lQBOUhNUMCI?t=25s (from 0:25 to 0:35) ... http://youtu.be/K-Ri3yPTJG0?t=2m38s (from 2:38 to 2:53 ... http://youtu.be/goXdIurnID0?t=45s (0:45 to 0:59))
If Orianna is near, Jeffen will say "I.. I remember you?", "You are not her. Stop deceiving me", "You look like her, you dance like her - but your heart and soul does not"
