Champion Concept: Rames, the Wanderer

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to read this champion concept. This idea has nagged at my mind for some time now, and I cannot help but convey my thoughts into a character of my own in this exciting and imaginative world that is League of Legends. Please be advised that this is the rough draft of Rames, and I hope to find constructive criticism on how to better balance him and improve his play-ability overall.

Visual Appearance:

Rames prefers to travel with little weight, often only carrying two swords and the clothes on his back. When he is outside of the Fields of Justice, Rames does the same. He carries what food he needs and neglects to bring a tent or even a mess kit. His preference for a light load allows him to remain agile and light on his feet.

His usual apparel consists of a light, yet sturdy traveling cloak with worn boots, gloves, and a hood for rainy days. That being said, he only places the cloth over his head when it is needed or when he does not wish to be seen.

Rames sports two different swords which he uses to defend himself with or to do battle on Summoner's Rift. The sword in his left hand his a Rapier, or perhaps a type of Mail Breaker, which is known for its ability to pierce thick armor. This can explain the first part of Rames' passive.

His second sword his some form of curves sword, such as a scimitar or dagger. These strike swiftly, flowing in the air with ease, which can explain the second part of Rames' passive.

Lore:

Born in the city-state of Demacia, Rames was exposed at a young age to the militant lifestyle that was so very honored by everyone he knew. There was a constant stream of pressure to always do his best, which he had no quarrel with. However, when he looked out upon the world outside of Demacia's protective walls, he could not help but long for open fields and cloudless nights. After a grueling tour in the Demacian military, the curious and somewhat foolhardy man set out on his own to discover what Valoran had to offer.

Once again, thank you very much for taking the time to read all of this. I left the "Lore" section short, as I would not wish to mess with any plans Riot has for Valoran. I understand that it is very lengthy, and not all of it is completely finished. However I hope that this concept makes progress if nothing else. Do not be afraid to comment on something you found interesting, or something you think would make Rames a more interesting champion.
