[Champion Concept] Cerberus, Child of the Void

There aren’t enough crazy chicks, as Jinx seems to be the only one. No girl has seriously looked disfigured (which i find strangely attractive for some reason) and there are no female Void characters.. So I mixed all three and this is what i got… Enjoy my 3rd attempt at a champion concept: A humanoid Voidling that is cut up and somewhat crazy!

Cerberus

Name and Title - Cerberus, The Child of the Void Age - possibly 15 Bloodtype - ? Height - 7 ft 6 in Weight - around 31 kg Voice - similar to Yuno Gasai from Future Diary (The japanese voice actor version) Characteristics - She has a sort of twisted personality due to the fact she has no idea what human morals are. Tends to burst into mental breakdowns due to her body harboring multiple souls. Her Void nature makes her enjoy killing and mayhem, but she tries to act as kind as possible from Gaia’s and Chaos’ influence.

Friends - Orianna, Jinx, Syndra. (from my char list : Chaos) Enemies - Zyra, Nidalee, Rengar, anyone from/has anything to do with the Void and the Kumungu Jungle (including a char from my list : Gaia).

(so, her lore might kinda be confusing to you, so let me know if anything doesn’t make sense and needs explaining)

Lore:

“You are the child of the Void… Embrace the life I have given you and accomplish your mission..” These were the last words Cerberus heard as she was sent out of the Void and into the world of Runeterra. The then seven years old Cerberus had no knowledge of what she was to accomplish, nor where she was to go… Yet something called out to her. That something was the Kumungu Jungle. It mocked her. It challenged her. It terrified her. She couldn’t understand what it wanted. The Void child traveled through Southern Valoran, trying to flee the Kumungu’s influence. Cerberus, being a young and naive Voidling, consumed everything in her path. She one day met a girl around her age named Gaia. Gaia was a strange girl, who nurtured and cared for everything. They often butted heads, but they were the best of friends. Over time Cerberus began to grow a heart and ate less things, unless they attacked first. But the fear of the Kumungu Jungle still ran through her, as if it followed her every step. When she consulted Gaia on this, her friend went grave. “I’m sorry…” She said and impaled her friend through the heart. Cerberus passed out. She then entered in the recesses of her mind, where she then met her other two souls, Chomps and Ripper. They gave Cerberus her true powers, while at the same time sending her into a state of insanity for a short while. When she awoke from her state the area around them was completely destroyed and Gaia was no where to be found. Cerberus also noticed some changes to her body. Her left arm now had an eyeball stitched into it, which was confirmed as Ripper. Her body had now had multiple scars that, strangely, she felt belonged were they were. The left side of her mouth was cut straight up to her left eye. Chomps floated beside her, connected to a chain that hung from a metal cuff around her right hand. Her hands were now black, longer, and clawed at the tips, giving them a more demonic look. The changes didn’t bother her though. What bothered her was why her friend had attacked her. To get answers, she traveled to a place she had never been before but had heard about it from bandits: The Ministry of War. She had heard that it was a place where all manners of beings could go and be accepted. On her way there she met a boy named Chaos who was also headed to the Ministry of War. His personality was a little different from Gaia’s, as he had grown up in the Shadow Isles. He saw everything as a potential threat to his life, though he never attacked anything. He also had the tendency to save others from harm, even at the cost of his body. This admiration made Cerberus fall in love with him as they traveled together. When they reached the Ministry of War they both registered to join the League, as Chaos said it was best for them to do so. Cerberus got in successfully and went into her first match, although the champions around her weren’t too keen to be with her since she was from the Void. During this match she met Gaia again. Cerberus felt shocked to see her best friend. “Why Gaia?” she asked pitifully. Gaia looked away, saddened. “Because you are of the Void. The Kumungu dislikes it, for it’s beings have ravaged it for so long. Thus it created me, it’s heart. I seek to destroy what the Void has sent to consume this world.” She told her. “But i have no intention of doing anything! I seek to help others, just like you did. Can’t we just be friends again” She pleaded with Gaia. Gaia shook her head. “i am sorry. Just as I am the Kumungu Jungle itself, you are the Void itself. If i kill you, the Void will cease to exist, making this world safer for all!” And with that she attacked. Cerberus, hurt and devastated, retaliated against her old friend. Slowly during the battle Cerberus’ emotions began to shift from sadness to anger. Anger towards her friend that betrayed her. Anger towards the Kumungu for forcing them to fight. Anger towards the Void, her origin, that split them apart. She went into a maddened rage and rushed at Gaia. In the end, Cerberus emerged victorious, winning her first match. When a reporter asked her why she joined the League and what she plans on doing from now on she stated: “To consume. To kill.” and with that statement, set her goals on consuming the Void and Kumungu. Yet she still has no idea what her true mission is, and what the Void has in store for her...

“She seeks to destroy stuff? That’s cool, i’m pretty bored anyway!” - Jinx when asked if she felt comfortable around Cerberus.

“The child learns much and has a limitless hunger for power. I see myself in her as I train her to harness her powers.” - Syndra when asked why she is frequently seen with Cerberus during her free time.

/Joke

“bark bark I didn’t eat your ALL your doggy treats!” Chomps looks ,and barks, at Cerberus, who places both her hands on her hips trying to deny Chomps accusations. “weird static-like noise I could go for some treats… Chomps why’re you looking at me like that?” Cerberus rubs her stomach, then looks at Chomps, who snarls and growls at her.

/Taunt

“FEEL THE ANGER OF THE VOID KILLER!” Cerberus leans back and screams, while Chomps bares his fangs and growls loudly (Chomps will also have a small burst of flame come out of his head). “female voice different from Cerberus You are needed as future nourishment ” A small, altered version of Cerberus pops up near her left arm, pointing forward.

/Dance

preview - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=opjd_ajk7EU ( 4- 35) (may be a little long but… why not right?) this would also feature Chomps beatboxing (a totally diff beat).

Unique interactions:

/Joke when near:

Jinx - “Destroying stuff is bad! But it’s so much fun!” Cerberus shakes her head for the 1st part. She then places her hands in the air and laughs after the joke.

Orianna - “How do you do that with your arms?!” Cerberus tries to bend her arms but ends up falling backwards in a failed attempt.

Syndra - “In a voice similar to Syndra’s My power is limitless! Cerberus Don’t make fun of her Ripper!” Cerberus puncher her left arm in an attempt to shut Ripper up from making fun of Syndra.

/Taunt when near :

Someone from the Kumungu Jungle or the Void - “I will consume you all!” Cerberus and Chomps both growl at the enemy while looking back and forth for their prey.

When near an enemy Lissandra - “Come and get me Tyrant Queen!” Cerberus shakes her butt at Liss, taunting her to fight.

Time for some laning guides and tips, as well as some builds and explanations as to why i made her kit the way i did:

Pros -

High damage output Well rounded to almost all lanes and roles Can possibly gank well if jungling (if you can get the stun off right in time to get her W and E to do massive damage) hard to supp with but it can be done (maybe) purely skill based

Cons -

Double-edged - Her moves come with a high price, making you use them sparingly and effectively at the right moments High cooldowns on all her moves mostly make her an auto reliant champion Hard to do any combos unless the Q can hit. purely skill based

Tips:

When using:

Try not to use her E too often, as it will make her squishy as heck. W comes in handy when low on health. Q can add stacks of Insanity, so you can use it on minions, monsters, and champions with this if they try to run. Multiple auto attacks on a marked target will add multiple stacks (1 per auto). Using her E after marking something is a good way to add stacks fast (if a champion isn’t near to kill you fast). Carry Heal and Clarity (to survive fights when using E early on and for if you run out of mana spamming your W and Q)

When laning with:

Make sure they aren’t reckless and watch for her activated mode. If her E is active, it most likely means they want to go all in. (This can help initiate some team fights) Try to attack any targets that she Q'd, since her stun is quite helpful to get early kills or peel off any enemies trying to run.

When laning against:

She is easily singled out, making her a possibly easy kill. She is like Fiora: She can only go all in. Can deal massive damage early on due to her passive and her E (when activated). When her E is activated, it can possibly mean she will go all in. Up to you to take this as a chance to flee or challenge her, as her armor and magic resist are down by 70-75% Try to avoid getting marked by her W, as she can deal more damage to you (especially if her E is active).

Counter Picks:

Possibly Thresh and Blitz, since she has no escape. Maybe lulu (if her E is active and you polymorph her, she will still have less armor and magic resist, making her an easy kill.) Fizz (since his jump can dodge her Q and W)

Build (based off of what i use as a fighter): and either or this build can give you some chance to survive even if E is active.

Starting items - or depending on preference of survivability or going all in.

and if you go supp - to heal both you and the adc ( also can get it in top if you duo top just to get big minions and heal every once in a while XD) Explanation time:

Now you’re probably wondering : Why did i make her E take so much armor and magic resist away from her? Well, I feel like too many broken champions (Yi and Yasuo -.-) can go all in and destroy without any repercussions. They can turn a game around with 3 kills (i’ve seen many Yi’s build a statikk shiv and an infinite edge and carry a game that would look like a loss…) and dominate in game somehow. That’s bs. So i decided, why not have a champion that can go in, but at the cost of sustain? This would make certain users second guess themselves and actually THINK on whether or not going all in would benefit them. Not just Q, disappear, auto, ‘An enemy has been slain’ (If you haven’t guessed it, i hate Yi just as much as others hate Teemo.). This also adds to the ‘teamwork’ and ‘skill’ sections of the game. After all, wouldn’t you feel safer with a person who could go all out and deal massive damage near you? Taric mains you can also rejoice! Ezreal is no longer needed for you to be famous! (that’s a little joke i wanted to say XD) But for real i just wanted to make a ‘Double-edged sword’ type character that would actually have to be mastered. P.s Yasuo is not a hard champ to use -.-. I’m tired of hearing Yasuo’s in game be like “Yasuo is so hard to use… That’s the only reason i’m losing.” I played Yasuo ONCE and went like 15 and 4. My friend played Yasuo a few times and mastered him the 1st game… He doesn’t take much skill to use, so stop trying to make excuses for why you suck (no offense to noobs that are still learning the game. This goes to all the lvl 30’s and ranked players that have a good amount of experience playing the game under their belt.).

Why did I make her ult a summon and why does it only go away when killed? This is because i thought that she needed some backup in lane in case she was ever alone (say top or mid.) Since her E can make her mad squishy, it is best to have help along the way when using it. Plus i needed a way for Ripper to fit into the scheme of her kit >.>...

Does this Champion seemed balanced to you? In a way, since her E revolves around taking away her sustain, she is unbalanced and at a great disadvantage all game. That’s why i feel her passive can help balance that. If it feels like she would deal/take too much damage then i can always change the stats around till it feels balanced. Like i said earlier, i want a champ that can deal damage at a price, so she will take heavy damage regardless of how balanced she is.

Skins:

Skin 1 - Chomps Merged Cerberus

Skin 1

Skin 2 - Released Ripper Cerberus

Skin 2

Skin 1 short lore - Cerberus merges with Chomps and turns into a furry to try and seduce Chaos, who loves furries and monster girls. It fails, and Cerberus has no way of gaining control of her body again, so Chomps takes over as the new champion for a while.

Skin 2 short lore - With the death of Chomps and Chaos during the fight with Lissandra, Cerberus goes into a rampage for years. She releases Ripper to gain more power and continues her Rampage throughout Runeterra. (this skin is meant to be a legendary skin - like pulsefire ez- but cheaper - maybe around 975?-.)

Changes to skin:

Skin 1 -

Voice - Voice sounds deeper and more demonic like (but can definitely pass as a girl’s voice XD). Q - Instead of slamming down Chomps, Cerberus just slams down the chain Idle animation - Sniffs the air and looks side to side. Chomps no longer flies around (all quotes with chomps have been removed)

Skin 2 -

Voice - Similar to C2 from Code Geass Q - Stretches out the 3rd arm from her back and slams it down. E - A 4th arm comes out from her back and the dark energy spreads out a little further Auto attack animation during E - Cerberus will slam down her back arms (one for each attack). R - sends out the original Cerberus instead, and changes the attack animation to Cerberus’. She will still breathe out fire though. Idle animation - The third arm with occasionally flex itself as Cerberus crosses her arms and stands there. Walking animation - Cerberus will run similar to Ezreal (like a normal person basically). (all quotes/animations with chomps have been removed)

Added to skins:

Skin 1 -

/Joke - “Who’s got all the treats now?” Cerberus (aka Chomps now) Rubs her stomach and lets out a satisfied sigh. /Taunt - “Come closer, I only bite a lot!” Chomps bites at the enemy and laughs.

/Taunt when near Lissandra - “I will eat you alive!” Chomps makes a ‘you’re dead’ gesture by using her right hand and sliding it slowly across her neck.

Skin 2 -

/Taunt when near Lissandra - “I will never forgive you for what you’ve done!” Cerberus leans forward and slams her 3rd arm into the ground twice, symbolizing the deaths of Chaos and Chomps.
