Description: Guardian is about 6 feet tall with short black hair and blue eyes. He is wearing a white shirt with a large blue shield on it and black shorts. On each of his forearms he has large tattoos of a jackal head that glow blue when he goes to transform. His transformation is about 7 feet has a jackal like head with large, pointy ears and a dog like face. On his new face he has blue and black stripe markings. He has a dog like body and paws for his hands and feet, as well as yellow fur on his torso and back.(If anyone needs references if they do decide to draw any of my champions, the ones with full on transformations or the ones that look like monsters, the best references I can think of are Pokemon. Many of my champions have their design roots is various Pokemon, with some adjustments to make them seem more menacing and serious. As for the reference for Guardian, his transformation is based off Lucario.)

Passive:Eternal Guardian:

Guardian releases an aura that increases the armor and MR of nearby champions by a percent of Guardian's Armor and MR. (2% at level 1/3% at level 6/4% at level 11/5% at level 16).(Effect range would be similar to the range on the Legion or Valor Aura's).

Specific Details: This ability is a very unique one in the community since before the changes to the Bulwark and Aegis those items were the only things that could grant team wide Armor and MR. This hopes to accomplish the same thing without the Health Regen. instead. This ability is similar to the Legendary Armor mastery that not even tanks get anymore. This will allow Guardian to build as tanky as possible and therefore allow his team to build more damage.

Q:Sentinel Blast:

Guardian launches an energy ball of aura that travels in a line dealing 70/110/150/190/230(+.5 AP) to the fist champion hit and slowing them by 50% for 1.5 seconds. It deals 50% damage to all minions it passes through and slows them by 25%

• Mana Cost: 80
• Cooldown: 20 seconds
• Range:800
• Wall Length: 600/700/800/900/1000

Specific Details: A defensive wall to use before fights and during sieges to reduce poke damage.

E:Staff Rush:

Guardian charges forward, swinging his staff as he goes, dealing damage to and knocking aside enemy minions and stopping on the first enemy champion he hits dealing 70/100/130/160/190(+45% AP) immobilizing the target for .5 seconds and slowing the target by 15%/20%/25%/30%/35% for 2 seconds(damage is halved against minions)

Guardian unleashes his final form in an explosive transformation dealing 150/200/250(+50% AP) too all enemies in a surrounding area, slowing them by 20%/30%/40% and transforming Guardian.

Basic Backstory Guardian, like the rest of the Sentinel Squad was from another dimension. Before the accident that led them to Runeterra, they were crime fighters, fighting supernatural threats that could not be handled by the realm's military. Guardian is one of the founding members of the Sentinel Squad and their leader. Calm and collected, he is the most level headed member and has probably been through more than any of the others. During an exploration mission into an unknown cave system, the Sentinels found a very strange rune circle on the ground, Guardian accidently activated the rune circle mystically transporting the entire Squad into the center of the Summoning Chamber at the Institute of War. After some explaining to the summoners on who they were, the Sentinel Squad were allowed to join the League in full force.

"On our past world we were as much outlaws as our enemies, here we have found new allies, new enemies, and a new home in need of some Sentinels!" -Guardian, to the Sentinels on convincing them to join the League.

There will be more in the future, but for now, tell me what you think. ~MercsGuradian
