[Champion Concept] Damian, The Demon of the Shadow Isles

Damian, The Demon of the Shadow Isles

Lore

Somewhere within the Shadow isles there lies a small village. At first glance this village would surprise most people. Residing in the most terrible of places in all of Runeterra you would think that it would have been destroyed or ransacked by the creatures that call that place home. Yet it has not been touched. It appears as any other village you might find within the Kingdom of Demacia, a happy village with villagers going about their daily business.

This is a lie. There is no happiness in this village and there is only safety as long as he is not provoked. I am referring to the Demon. Many years ago before the shadow isles had arisen to take hold of the land there was a family of four: A mother, father and two brothers. They lived happy for many years until around the time the boys were ten. Both of the boys had left the house to roam the forest one day. They wanted to find a small river where it was said the most extraordinary flowers could be found.

A few hours later the boys grew hungry. Realizing it was close to dinner time; they gave up the search and started heading home. When they got back they found the door to their house kicked in and shattered into pieces. Both gazed at each other in horror and their first thought was; where were our parents? Slowly and fearfully they moved through the house when they heard a noise from above them from where their parent’s room was. They quickly crept up the stairs and peered into the room.

What they saw took their breath away and set their hearts hammering. Their parent’s bodies lie on the bed, blood slowly trickling from the wounds left on each of their throats. Standing next to the bed with its back turn to them was the most terrible creature they had ever seen. It had four arms which seemed to be covered in large spikes the length of a person’s arm. Its skin was a grayish tinge and seemed to be harder than normal skin giving the appearance of a kind of metal. A tail protruded from its back and lay on the floor with the same grayish tinge yet at the very end it split into three points that seemed to shine sinisterly at them.

Both boys stared at the strange creature for what seemed like forever until suddenly it turned slowly and spoke in a deep voice “I have awaited your arrival”. In a flash, the tail went flying at them and wrapped around each boy dragging them into the room. The creature turned its horrible red eyes upon them both and bared its large teeth at them in what they assumed was a smile. “Finally I may cast this terrible burden from my shoulders and move on” the creature said with glee. “Yet I only need one of you, which of you is named Damian?” The younger of the two boys replied “I am” his voice shaking. The creature grinned “Good” he replied. Then his third tail shot like a javelin and stabbed the older brother right in the chest.

The younger brothers scream was stifled by the creatures tail wrapping around his mouth as his brothers body went limp. His body was thrown onto the bed next to his parents. The creature then placed his hand on Damian’s head “Now my torment ends” he said. It happened in an instant and then the creature was done. Dropping Damian the creature started to fade. The last thing Damian saw was a pair of red eyes angry eyes. As soon as the creature disappeared Damian began to scream. His body was on fire. It seemed to be expanding, his skin hardening and turning gray. Two extra arms erupted out of his side and spikes formed on them as sharp as daggers. His mind was consumed with anger and rage. Madness enveloped his being. Finally after a moment it was over. Damian slowly got up panting and took one look in the mirror. A roar exploded from his throat that made the walls tremble. The thing that stared back was not Damian, but the monster that had slain his family.

After that day the village would never be the same and all knew and feared the Demon for Damian would not leave the place of his family’s death. There he stayed consumed by rage and killed all who approached. Even some of the leagues greatest champions such as thresh, elise and hecarim fear to enter the village for whenever they do a figure would appear before them and bare his teeth as if he was smiling.

It knows nothing except rage and anger… Why then? Why does it smile? – Inhabitants of the Shadow Isles

Thoughts

Damian is a fury based champion like trynamere. He is a top lane bruiser/jungler, but can also be an assassin with his ult giving him massive damage and speed for a short time. He is able to isolate and attack one target and take them out. The reason he joins the league of legends and finally leaves his home is because he hears that the summoners are extremely powerful and could possibly have a cure to his affliction. Even with his absence the creatures of the shadow isles still refuse to enter the village and the villagers fear leaving. I can see his combo being R(If you have it), W(whether for the target you want or an ally who will try to stop you is your choice), Q, E(Keep them in place while you auto and Q), Q. I will add cd and other specifics at a later date. I am currently doing this from my work laptop because my regular laptop is getting fixed. Please comment and tell me what you think. I am always willing to listen to new ideas and thoughts on how to improve Damian.
