[Champion Concept] Icar - Fragment of Past
Icar has been revealed through the Fan Fiction & Prologue called The Shadow Rebellion – Icar is the rival of Sekki, who lives now in Zed.
#Lore "Fragment of the past? What is this? Who came up with this demeaning epithet?!" - Icar, fragment of Past
*"The secret arts are for a good reason secret, as those arts were practiced many centuries, even millennias before, but had been lost and forgotten when masters all vanished with time. Nonetheless, there was once a master who was knowledged, but not capable himself to use these arts, and thus he trained his son Icar. Icar, now a full-grown man with a thirst of wisdom and revenge for his dead father, is theoretically older than most other of the participants in the Fields of Justice. *
*Why is that so? When Icar was taught by his father in the secret arts, a young boy named Sekki has been found, left alone by his parents, but for a good reason. Sekki thrived with each evil thought he had, and Icar’s father had no doubt of Sekki’s true intentions. Nevertheless of the warning, the master took care of Sekki as he was just a young boy, but a kind heart is not enough to free the darkness from someone’s heart. In a dark and cold night, Sekki assassinated his master, knowing that the box of unfold darkness will make him powerful. *
*The box was a ancient vessel which previously sealed many powerful and truly evil persons, including the pain and death of their victims – and their powers and secret arts. When Sekki opened the box, he felt a enormous power in his body, and his shadow became alive. When Icar woke up, he immediately fought in despair, and the battle erupted into a violent massacre. Tired of the equal fight, Icar used a technique to capture Sekki and seal him away in the box with the shadows in his body. Sekki grabbed the chance, like he grabbed Icar with his extended shadow, but Icar finished the sealing process, thus both were captured inside of the box. *
Uncountable centuries passed in our world, but only a year in the world within the box. Both were still fighting to take each other’s life, until a apprentice opened the sealed box – Zed. Zed has freed Sekki, but Icar was still imprisoned. Several days later, Shen opened the box in hope he would find the last teachings of his dead master – but what he found was Icar, who sought to fight and kill Sekki, who is now inside of Zed. "

#Champion Explanation
- Icar (fictional name by me) is a 23 years old young man, who is also the first androgynous Champion in appearance. Icar is rather pushy than calm, but he is very reliable and knows his place. Though he appears to be the good one, he still lacks of mercy and sanity.
- Icar’s mother was killed when he was born, thus he doesn’t remember her face, but he remembers her scent and voice. Icar’s father was killed by Sekki, only to get the box from his cold dead hands. Icar doesn’t show much feelings towards Sekki, as he remains calm when facing him, but enrages inside of his mind by the sheer thought of Sekki. Sooner or later one might find out that despite of Icar being the “good guy” equivalent to the “bad guy” Sekki, he still isn’t good at all. He might have the best intentions, but from the inner core of his personality, he’s just about as crazy as every other insane person.
- *Before Icar joined the League of Legends, he previously tried to kill Zed. Zed though, disappeared into the shadows when Icar attempted to assassinate him. In order to defeat Zed and kill Sekki inside of him, he joined the League to isolate Zed on the Fields of Justice and annihilate his whole existence. *
- *As you may already know by reading the Lore or Prologue – Before Zed, there was Sekki and before Sekki, there was more. The previous evil of this world has been gathered into concentrated darkness which was then sealed inside of the box – it took over Sekki and Sekki became extremely powerful. With time, the darkness consumed Sekki and what remained was Sekki’s voice and personality. When Zed opened the box, the darkness and Sekki infested his body and gave him the powerful abilities. However, it doesn’t have to mean that Zed will be completely consumed, but for the time – Zed is the most powerful one with the shadows in possession. *
- If you believe the theory that Nocturne is Zed from the future, then you might as well believe the version of mine - that the powers in Zed are the evil persons and their tortured victims, who where sealed inside of a box because their power was too great to destroy and vanish from this world. Because of this, Zed - who then becomes Nocturne, differs completely from appearance, because like Sekki was consumed by the shadows, Zed'll becomes consumed too. If you combine Nocturne's lore and origin, he is the same kind of darkness/shadow/dark power eminating from a noxus like the one from the box in my lore. Anyways, this means that Nocturne is a rival too, but Icar's highest priority is Zed, as Zed can get freed, but Nocturne already consumed Zed in the future.
- *Icar has no real weapon – he has a scarf like in the picture above which shows the second dimension he uses for his abilities. He opens rifts from a second dimension with his fingers. He can control this power because he was taught to by his father and master, who knew the secret arts. *
- *Icar is meant to be a strong Mage who can contribute to his team by choosing different choices. He can deal pretty good damage, but can also help his allies by absorbing damage or CCing enemies from afar. Icar is best played on mid, perhaps as Support on bot, too. *

#Abilities
#Innate Passive - 'Critical Mass':
*Icar’s abilities can critically strike based on the current critical strike chance. Icar receives for each 10 AP, +1% Critical Strike Chance * If the next ability will critically strike, a icon appears.
#Q (Skillshot) – ‘Downfall Inc‘:
Icar rips with his right hand a rift from a dimensional world (0.3 seconds cast time), three stars fly out in a leaning path and each star lands in a line of path with each 250 range between, up to a full length of 800 range. Each star deals to all enemies it passes 45/60/75/90/105 (+15% AP) magic damage and slows all enemies by 25% for each star hit by. Upon hit by three stars, the target is stunned by 1.5 seconds. The stars will disappear after 4.5 seconds.
- Mana Cost: 45/55/65/75/85
- Cooldown: 15.5/14.4/13.3/12.2/11.1
#W (Spellblock) - 'Isolate '
Icar rises his arms in front of him(0.1 second), he touches both of his fingers and then starts to draw a rift by expanding his fingers around his body (0.4 seconds) and finally reaches his back for a full circle (0.6 seconds). Icar absorbs all skillshot and projectile damage in the short* 0.6 seconds** frame time and stores 10%/20%/30%/40%/50% of the damage absorbed. This damage will then shield Icarus for the absorbed amount for 4.5 seconds. This ability can be cast while walking.*
- **Mana Cost: ** 60/70/80/90/100
- **Cooldown: ** 18/17/16/15/14
#E (Dash / AoE) - 'Neurodrive ':
*Upon activation, Icar immediately shatters his dimensional scarf (0.2 seconds) and deals 50/65/80/95/110 (+15% AP) magic damage near by 250 range around Icar, and in the same time he dashes up to 450 range to the selected location. Upon arrival (0.8 seconds), Icar reforges his dimensional scarf by drawing all shattered pieces together and deals then the same amount of damage 250 range around him. If, however, Icar arrives at a fallen star from Downfall Inc, then Icar triggers the two other stars, which will then cause to explode and deal the same amount of damage 250 range around them. *
- **Mana Cost: ** 85/90/95/100/105/110
- **Cooldown: ** 22/20/18/16/14
#Ultimate - 'Ten Megatons Gravity ':
*This Ultimate has no real Cooldown and charges by spell casts by both allies and enemies. Upon 35/30/25 spell casts, this ability will be ready.
Upon activation, Icar slowly hovers over the ground and turns one time around on his own axis (0.5 seconds cast time). Icar then shoots a 150 range sized ball from a other dimension straight to a path of 700 range. The ball becomes slowly bigger by each 50 unit for each 50 unit travelled, up to a max of 650 unit. On arrival or when enemy Champion gets hit by, the ball immediately transforms into a black hole on the ground – all enemy movement speed within are decreased by 25%/35%/45% and 30%/40%/50% of the enemies current movement bonus (Mastery, Items, Buffs, Spells, ecetera) is negated while inside. After 3.5 seconds, the black hole implodes, pulling all enemy Champions to the center and dealing 75/100/125 (+25% AP) magic damage. Earlier recast will deal lesser damage. * This ability can be cast while walking
- **Mana Cost: ** 100
- **Cooldown: ** None

#Concept Explanation
Do I need to say more? Icar’s kit is pretty much new. The low ap.ratio is intended, as for example with 500 AP: Q deals 105+75 = 180 x 3 (If three stars hit) = 540 x 2 (If critically strikes) = 1080. This is fair enough big damage, a little bit weaker than Heimerdinger’s Hextech-Rockets. And Icar’s E can be used to deal three times the same damage, thus deals similar damage if critically strikes.
Innate Passive guides Icar the whole match along. In early, the critical strike chance is unrecognizable and non-existent, but later in game it’s a necessary tool to bring out the burst potential of Icar. Without these, his Q and E would deal both only 1000 damage, which is pretty low for a mage, and the Cooldown is too high to be spamable in sticky situations.
His Q is pretty awesome, isn’t it? Very new skillshot that deals three times damage if the enemy is very close, two times damage if a little bit far away and only one time damage at max range.
The W is very important, as it doesn’t just Spellblock a skillshot or projectile, but also shields afterwards. You might’ve found out that I’ve spelled the animations for a good reason. If you look back, Icar will start to form a circle in front of him, then he goes within short time to a full circle around him. Why? If Icar runs away and you want to hit him, Icar needs to perfectly time his W to absorb – but in that case, he’ll start first with a Spellblock in front of him, then he ends with a Spellblock behind his back – if timing sucks, he’ll cast W too late or too soon and he gets damaged.
E does either great damage or gives Icar a great escapility (You get the wordplay?). This ability can be used to offer three damage sources on one target – one when you dash, one when you arrive and one if the enemy is near by a second star (When Icar dashes to one star, the star won’t cause any damage, but the two others will).
Last, but not least - The Ultimate - Which is a great supportive and environment changing ability, that can negate movement speed bonuses and drag enemies to the center. You may ask yourself why there is no real Cooldown, but instead a spellcast counter. For one reason, it is because the Ultimate would seem to be never used outside of teamfights when its most needed. The other reason is, that I’d like to give Icar the chance to use his Ultimate freely. A long Cooldown will result in less use, and better positioning. A short Cooldown will result in too many uses, spamming abilities with no sense of positioning nor situation. That’s why spellcasts are here the key, you can make your Ultimate easier available, but for the cost of being near enemies.
Icar is strong against immobile casters and burst champions like Xerath, Gragas, ecetera; Icar can also be strong against assassins, who are vulnerable to damage, but this can be outbalanced by the skill one has when playing an assassin. Icar is weak against high mobile champions and ranged champions like Fizz, Le Blanc, Jayce, ecetera because of their constant poking ability that can push Icar away.
