[Champion Concept] Kasumi, The Artist Blade

Note: I've posted this before, but this is the fully finalized version. Don't worry about spam. I've deleted the older post to grant this final copy a full chance to shine in the LoL community. For full effect, I'd reccoment you read it all if you have the time. I'm open to any criticism. So let me have it.

-Ace

"This is only the beginning..." -Kasumi

"There was nothing but blood... blood and black paint." -Darius

"I think we have seen the might Ionia has to offer... And I'm not impressed." -Swain

Visualize, if you will, a dot on a page. A single black spec of no particular significance. You see a dot. I see the world. A glorious dream of how the world should be, anyway. An utterly controllable form. It could go anywhere... All it needs is a proper master. I am Kasumi Ryya, the Cetro of Ionia. I am that master. You are my canvas. When the dust settles, the winner shall be bound in blood and black paint.

Lore- Born to the well-known noble artists of the Ryya house, Kasumi grew up amongst the marble walls and grand columns of a rich home. Even as a young girl, she showed an innate talent for art, scrawling massive paintings of various landscapes and creatures across her many canvases. It was a peaceful life, a near-holy life. But, as many artist know, not everything turns out the way you want.

Running out of paint one day, she ventured into the backward catacombs of her family's massive storage to find another jar of paint with which she would create yet another masterpiece. Climbing up to check an upper shelf, her eye caught a peculiar jar of crystal black paint. She felt strangely drawn to it, like it was the only jar around- when, in fact, there were literally thousands of others in the same room, she wanted that one.

Exiting the storage with her new favorite paint, she heard a voice echo in her head. "Is this the one?" She looked around, trying to decipher where the mysterious voice may have been projected from.

"The next Cetro..." She heard it again, murmuring about a concept she knew little about. Cetro- an ancient art that was once practiced in Ionia. But what did it have to do with these voices and why was she hearing them?

"Time is short..." The relentlessly echoed in her head, distracting her from the paint in the jar moving and forming on its own, breaking the glass, and flowing forth up her arm. She stood, watching in amazement as the paint soaked into her and she was flooded with the memories of past fallen Cetro warriors. She knew what they knew. She had the paint at her control.

Soon after, people from all over Runeterra came to see the child whom had the gift once thought to be lost for centuries. He would display her prowess in the skill, effortlessly painting massive dragons across the walls of the temple and bringing them to life before everyone's eyes. But this power didn't go unnoticed to Noxus, whom was planning an invasion of the country the following year.

The onslaught was massive. The Ryya village was totally unprepared for the invasion, taking heavy damages. It was then that Kasumi knew why the paint had chsen her. She marched out, unwavering against the army of Noxans assaulting her home, repelling them with her artist's power. Many of the invaders were forced to flee in terror, others weren't to lucky, skewered by the barrage of black spires shot forth by Kasumi's Cetro style of fighting. At the end of the day, the village was left standing. She had served her purpose.

In an effort to warn against the threat of future invaders of her homeland, she would find her way to the League of legends to showcase and prove her absolute dominance over anyone who thought they could take Ionian soil by force.

Items: I would personally build her like this-

Other good items for her:

Allies

Appearance:

I'm not a great artist, but I'm fairly good at explaining things with words. If anyone would like to draw her, I'd love you for it.

I planned on her having long, black, flowing hair, maybe a braid over her shoulder. She'll have piercing violet eyes with fair skin and a scarf with the Ionian symbol for Cetro, two circles, red and blue, with a golden line between them. Though she is a warrior, I didn't want her to look like one, so no armor, simply a long red jacket with a large pocket holding scrolls. She'll also have a pack that she'll carry to one side of her that is dripping with black paint everywhere she walks. Under her jacket, a black shirt, cut just above her waist line and a crystal necklace. In other words, her jacket is open. Het pants would be long and baggy, good for mobility and symbolizing a relaxed overall lifestyle.

Overview

Kasumi is a squishy escape artist AP powerhouse with both single target and multi target CC. When laning, it is important to note that, without black blood, it is easy for a pokey mid-laner to out farm and out harass you. Such mid laners as Ahri, Orianna, and even Annie, could cause some problems. Also, utilizing paper bomb to roll directly under your opponent’s feet can cause some serious disruptions in their overall play and force them to either dive in on you, or back off. In this way, such mids as Akali, Zed, and Katerina are forced to play more conservatively or risk being hit by a paper bomb or a dragon. Darksider is your grand escape. This, paired with black blood’s stun, will allow you to quickly escape ganks and turn a losing situation in your favor. In team fights, Kasumi’s squishy nature means that she should stick to the outside, jumping in at just the right moment to unleash the massive AOE ult to damage several targets at once and slow their escape.

Dialogue

Idle 1: “Cetro can conquer all."

Idle 2: “All it'll take is a little paint."

Paper Dragon: “Take it!”

Paper Dragon 2: “This’ll leave a stain.”

Black Blood 1: “Bind it in blood”

Black Blood 2: “Freeze!”

Taunt 2: “You’re my next canvas… if only you weren’t so ugly…”

Joke 1: Kasumi repeatedly darksides in and out of the ground, almost like a portal gun effect when shot directly above and below a person. “Weeeeeee!”

Joke 2: * Kasumi creates a dog and plays fetch with it *

This is my idea. I have more info if you think it's good. Any feedback, positive and negative, would be nice. :P Thanks.

I'd absolutely love it if Riot saw this. Being able to contribute to the game we all love so much would be amazing. Bump if you like her!
