[Champion Concept] Grimjoy the Smiling Assassin
Grimjoy is an assassin/fighter, his primary roles are Jungler and Mid, but he could possibly Top as well. He is tall and thin, but muscular from years of assassinations. His hair is uneven and unkempt, he cuts his own hair with his claws, and a headband to keep it out of his eyes. His claws are long like daggers and there is one per finger, they are always covered in blood. His clothing is tight fitting, he wears a black shirt with no sleeves, tight pants, and simple black running shoes. He has a tattoo of a smiley face on his upper left arm. He is always smiling and laughing, he has an extremely overconfident and cocky swagger to his walk.
##Lore
Once there was a young child born in a small village up in the mountains. At the age of 4, the child's parents noticed something odd, the child showed know fear. He was curious about things that would scare a normal child, he always wanted to hear scary stories, because they made him laugh, he would climb the highest trees, fight off the mean neighborhood bullies, and would venture outside the village at night. His proud parents thought to themselves "His courage is greater then any adults', one day he will be a Legendary Hero", but this pride was short lived. They started noticing something odd in the child's behavior, when he was 6, he would play with knives and daggers showing a lot of talent in handling them with a sinister smile on his face. One day a gang of thugs came into the village and started harassing the townspeople. Some of the other children dared the child to go talk to the thugs and so he did, but when he didn't come back home that night his parents and a few of his neighbors went looking for him. What they found haunted them until their last days, the child was sitting in a room with his favorite toys, his dual claws, and was covered in blood with his sinister smile he always wore. All the thugs were cut and sliced up in the most gruesome of ways, the child had killed them all. It was then the village realized what was wrong with the child, it was not an abundance of courage that made him the way he was, but a lack of fear and that scared them more then anything in this world. So the village chief called a meeting and they all agreed it was best to banish the child, at the age of 7 he was thrown out of the village. Instead of crying or begging to be let back in, he simply set off with nothing but his claws, changing his name to Grimjoy, his destination was Noxus to join their military where he thought his skills would be most appreciated. Arriving at the age of 8, he quickly made his name known and despite his young age he was accepted into the Noxian ranks at the age of 11. When he was 18 he was banished from Noxus, because they were afraid of what he would do if they tried to arrest him, for killing several superior officer and hundreds of their personal guards, simply to see if he could. Now he has joined the League of Legends in hopes that someone can show him what fear feels like and if no one could, then to have some fun.
-"His fearlessness makes him strong, but it also makes him incapable of following orders, he doesn't fear punishment or failure, he simply does what he wants and that makes him dangerous to his allies." -Darius, the hand of Noxus.

So he must seem incredibly OP, but for some reason i don't think he is. I feel like he can just be bursted down as quickly as he can burst down someone. The idea behind giving him Tenacity is so people will either not use their CC on him, because it will be useless, or to use all their CC on him to actually hold him off. About R, I know riot doesn't like random abilities, because it doesn't allow much counter-play, but i feel like all the effects except the last two do the same thing just in different ways, they kill the target. Of course each effect can be balanced so that the damage each one does is equal, so that the outcome and the damage is the same, the target dies, its just done a little different, and adds a bit of fun and fits his concept. Just changed his ult with the help of Flintfall (thank you), i hope its more reasonable game-wise and character-wise, it is basically a large steroid that should help him secure a kill if used correctly without being too overbearing and leaving no counter-play. The reason his damage is so high is because he is an assassin, his job is to get in there and kill their squishies, then get out. Grimjoy's fatal weakness is being focused and going all in. If you use Q to engage and to do not disengage with the second cast you risk being focused down, but you also have a chance to do tons of damage before you die or even to save yourself with them plays. His ultimate can be used as a means of escape as well, the reason you go through your target and end up behind them is so you can run away or if your fearless enough to reengage from your new spot. His ult is changed so now his Q's cooldown will be reduced or reset upon champion kill or assist, that will be his reengage or disengage. Also changed his Q so it can be used on minions and neutral monsters. Thank You Flintfall for your comments, i think he is much better now :D.
The reason the Lore is so long and ive added quotes is to show you why his abilities are the way he is, its so you get his full character and that he truly is not capable of feeling fear, so his abilities reflect that, in my opinion.
As always please comment below and tell me what you think, i can take criticism but please try and be nice about it ;D.
