@Riot Champion Concept; Celder, The Banished Shadow

DubleDice·3/6/2014, 2:44:12 AM·6 votes·2,791 views

LORE: Celder was born in a small village outside of Ionia. As a child Celder was amazed with samurais and ninjas, and hoped to become one when he became older. When Celder reached age 14 his father sent him to Ninja training with the Great Ninja Master. Although Celder was not allowed to speak with the other two children Zed and Shen for they were children of the Master and were given special training.

Celder began his training at age 16 and was considered one of the Masters greatest students. After two years of training Celder was ordered to set out to find a specific plant that offered great power within its nectar, although the Great Ninja Master considered it for being magnificent for tea.

On the journey to find the flower, Celder faced many tasks and obstacles. It was 3 years until Celder found this flower and after reaching it Celder realized the real reason his master sent him to find this flower, beyond the fact that he had to kill dozens of trolls and other evil creatures, he understood that it took all his agility and might to do this, something Celder never came to have in mind.

When Celder got back to the Dojo he was shocked to see it was crumbling in fire and down the path outside stood Zed with the head of their master. In anger Celder crushed the flower and wielded his dual swords and rushed towards Zed. Unfortunately Celder did not realize Zed had mastered the ancient forbidden arts and was defeated almost Immediately. Zed had every chance to slice Celder in two, but offered Celder to join him, Zed told Celder that this power was good and gave him protection. Zed lied to Celder and said that Shen had killed his master not Zed, without any thought of the consequences, Celder agreed to the power. (Celder was never one that wanted Evil, he felt that evil should die and he would be the one to stop it.) Celder soon found himself consumed with dark power. He felt conjoined to it and could not escape its grasp. Celder then realized that his leather tunic turned into dark nightmarish armor, and his dual swords became dual demonic swords that were sharp enough to cut through Graphene, one of the worlds strongest metals.

Celder returned home in the mission only to destroy it, Celder succeeds, although this father lives and sails to Demacia, the only capitol that believed in good, to tell of his corrupted son. Demacia readied 10,000 minor troops and sent them to Celders newly reformed village to stop him, when they got there Celder had already known of an attack because he had suspected this from knowing his father had not died by his hands. All 10,000 troops where slaughtered on the soil they stood on and Demacia was forced to sent their best troops including Garen "The Might of Demacia" Although Garen successfully defeated Celder almost 60% of his units died to Celder, and 10% suffered major injuries. Celder was banished to the Void and sent to a prison deep in the heart of the Void in hopes he could never escape. Ten years later Celder managed to escape the prison and set out to Runeterra to join the League and to destroy those who imprisoned him & Zed for playing him for a fool.

Source of Power: Energy (Regenerates 10 per second)

"Passive" Mark of The Shadow: Every ability that causes Celder to dash through his target marks his enemy, causing his next ability that dashes through them to stun them for (0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8/0.9/1.0/1.1/1.2/1.3/1.4/1.5/1.6/1.7/1.8/1.9/2.0/2.1/2.2)second and can not be used on the same target for 6 seconds.

"R" Revenge of The Banished One: After selecting one enemy Champion, Celder takes both swords and draws a circle around him, followed by him thrusting the swords into the ground to the left and right of him, Celder then figurates symbols with his arms and hands (kind of like Shen except Celder has more motion) causing a dark portal to be summoned in the circle he drew as well as above the targeted enemy champion, then after 1 second Celder abruptly grabs both swords then rushes downward then teleports to the 2nd portal causing dark smoke and dust to come crashing down with him, exploding on impact with the ground which marks the targeted Enemy Champion any enemy Champions within 150 units near the ULTED enemy Champion. Dealing (180/200/240) (+ base AD*0.65) | Cost:(100 Energy) | Cooldown:(130/115/100)


My friend drew a picture for me (he is really talented) which he feels best fits the look of the champion.

If you have any suggestions or want to help add to this Champion feel free to post in the comment, and dont forget to +1 this thread ;) THANKS!!!

A pretty cool champion, but he basically has an ultimate and 3 mini ultimates. I would suggest reworking the timers for the second and third abilities as well as the second abilities debuff. The q could also use a dash timer against champions otherwise you are hitting the same person three times plus once with your E meaning you can stun them twice as do insanely OP amounts of damage. Great concept and picture just needs some balancing.

I'm not good at balancing skills, so I'll just same some bits on lore/picture.

  • The picture is AMAZING (Kudos to your friend. Did he have references or work on just what you told him?), but I don't think it fits Demacia well. It seems more...Noxian/ "European" in style as opposed to Demacia, which is primarily a noble/heroic-inspired culture. Great art, just doesn't seem based off the place where Celder is supposed to come from. Maybe "Dark Demacian" but that's a bit stretching.

  • Story is ok, but you have some spelling/grammar/punctuation issues that impede it from greatness. Along with that, it seems like you're throwing a bunch of arbitrary numbers to make him sound powerful. Your timeline is a bit wonky too, as I don't think Garen would be the might of demacia about 10-ish years ago.

  • The Institute of War keeps prisoners locked in their little chamber, not the void. I don't really blame you for this accident, as the lore surrounding the institute has been spotty at best. However, a guy like this would definitely be held within it's confines.

You got the makings of a good character, just needs some refinement. Kudos on your work so far and I hope you only continue to make this guy better!

I dont feel like giving a feedback to the skills right now, but to the story. The Idea of a brave Knight becoming a bad one trough the Shadows is nice, but i dont like the way you did it, sry. If you compare it to Zed, he wanted more and more power and because of that he learned the forbidden secrets of the shadows. But a good Person just getting Nightmares, finding a book and getting evil? Nah, not very impressive.

I think it would fit better, if you change the story to something like: Celder studied at the same Place like Shen and Zed. While Zed killed Shen's father Celder was on a mission outside, so it should be that when Zed left, he met Celder who came back from his mission. Celder tried to talk with Zed and find out why he did those things, but Zed ignored him. When Zed wanted to go away, Celder sadly felt that the only right thing to do, is to kill Zed. But he didnt know about the new strengh of Zed and so he totally lost the fight and got badly injured. There, laying on the ground, near to the death and surrended by the shadows which Zed sent to finish him, the shadows talked to him. They offered him a second Chance. They showed him a way to enough strengh to stop Zed. But he would have to let to Shadows in his body. In this single weak moment, he gave up and agreed with the Shadows. They healed his wounds, gave him new power and showed him their secrets, but then he felt the darkness. When Celder saw his mistake and noticed what he did there, it was already to late. He wasnt alone in his body anymore. From there on He always lives with the conflict between him and the shadows. The only reason for him to go on living is to find Zed and to get revange for the defeat. Because of that he joined to league.

Wow i kinda wrote a real story there, although i only wanted to write a little example XD, hope you like my Idea and sry for no feedback to the skills but i am a bit tired^^
