[Champion Concept] Irwin, the Test Subject
Author Notes: First of all, I'd like to say thank you for reading this new champion concept. I will say that Irwin is a very complicated champion capable of being completely random and out of control, game wise, or capable of handling most any role in the hands of a skilled and/or determined player. Please, leave a comment below with praise, advice, opinions, or critiques. All is greatly appreciated! Thank you and enjoy.

#Abilities List Passive: Demented Irwin cannot think straight and often succumbs to his multiple personalities. Every 33/66/99 seconds (at level 1/7/13), Irwin's personality changes to one of the three listed below. Whenever he is defeated, his personality switches to the next. Each passive offers slightly new abilities, and the ranks assigned to upgrade them do carry over. Here is the complete list:
- The Iron Mask: Irwin begins combat with The Iron Mask activated. Irwin's basic attacks gain range and convert 5/6/7% of his Ability Power into Magic Penetration.
- Frenzied Fists: Irwin's next personality shift is more aggressive; while his attack range is reduced to 125 in melee form, he gains 3/6/9% increased attack speed and attack damage, and restores 2/4/6 mana every 4 seconds.
- Escaped Experiment: Irwin's basic attacks switch to melee attack range, and he gains 4/8/12% increased movement speed outside of combat and can walk through units.
Q Ability: Eye Bolt -- Gut Buster -- Sidestep Cost: 55/60/65/70/75 Mana Range: 450 Cooldown: 15/13/11/9/7 Seconds Eyebolt -- ACTIVATION: On activation, Irwin fires a double beam of heat from his eye beams at target enemy unit, dealing 30/60/90/120/150 (+ 75% Ability Power) magic damage.
Gut Buster -- ACTIVATION: On activation, Irwin dives forward and slams his armored fist into the belly of target, knocking them back and dealing 50/60/70/80/90 (+50% bonus Attack Damage) physical damage to them.
Sidestep -- ACTIVATION: On activation, Irwin activates a secret feature of his mask, giving him enhanced awareness of the battlefield. Irwin dives forward and gains 25/40/55 mana as well as 15/25/35% increased movement speed.
W Ability: Sweltering Vision -- Armguard -- Resistance Cost: 80/70/60/50/40 Mana Range: Self Cooldown: 15 Seconds Sweltering Steps -- ACTIVATION: Upon activation, Irwin gains stealth for 3/3.25/3.5/3.75/4 seconds and gains 1/3/5/7/9% increased movement speed.
Armguard -- ACTIVATION: Upon activation, Irwin raises his gauntlets and gains a physical damage blocking shield that absorbs 75/85/95/105/115 physical damage for 2 seconds.
Resistance -- ACTIVATION: Upon activation, Irwin creates a mana-infused system around his body that lasts 1/2/3/4/5 seconds, absorbing 60/70/80/90/100 (+35% Ability Power) magic damage and returning 12/24/36/48/60 (+20% Ability Power) magic damage to attackers.
E Ability: Inner Doubt -- Inner Demons -- Inner Hope Cost: 55/65/75/85/95 Mana Range: 200 Cooldown: 8 Seconds Inner Doubt -- ACTIVATION: Irwin fires a bolt of heated energy at the very mind of target enemy champion and slows them by 5/10/15/20/25% of their movement speed for 0.5/1/1.5/2/2.5 seconds.
Inner Demons -- ACTIVATION: Irwin slams his fists together and invigorates himself, causing his next basic attack or spell to deal 15/25/35/45/55% (+25% bonus Attack Damage) bonus physical damage, but reduces his own armor by 10/15/20/25/30% until his next attack.
Inner Hope -- ACTIVATION: Irwin dashes toward allied champion within range and inspires hope in them and himself. For 2/3/4 seconds, that target gains an aura with 175 range that heals Irwin for 10/20/30/40/50 Health per second he is within range. The inspired target, and other nearby allied champions, do not benefit from this healing.
Ultimate: True Freedom Cost: Free Range: Self Cooldown: 99/66/33 Seconds Once activated, Irwin locks in the next ability used (ultimate can be used three times per game). This ability is free, and is limited only by its cooldown. The locked in timer resets upon defeat.
#Basic Information Gender: Male Race: Yordle Birthplace: Bandle City Residence: Zaun Occuptation: Denizen Faction: Zaun
Friends:

Rivals:

Minor Lore: Irwin was a Yordle test subject under the cruel control of Dr. Mundo. During one of the experimentations, Dr. Mundo scoured through poor Irwin's psyche and twisted it, causing Irwin to lose part of his humanity, suppress guilt and remorse, and, yes, to rarely speak in the third person. Eventually escaping from the mad man, Irwin returned to his home in Bandle City; however, his strange behavior and bully-like tendencies proved to be an obstacle for him. Eventually, he made his way back to Zaun without the doctor knowing, and took up refuge in the toxic sewers where he could find peace, and a friend or two.
Unable to think clearly or remember much of his past life as days turned to weeks, Irwin decided to better his life by joining the League of Legends, roughly around the same time Twitch jonied the League of Legends to represent himself "as the only one of his kind" on the Fields of Justice. While he stayed in Zaun, he helped an inventor create a mask and pair of gauntlets made up of hextech's finest metal, a sort of cage to hide his face from the other champions. Why, that is unknown. However, the mask lends him a series of both combat and utility functions that help him gain the upper hand on the Fields of Justice.
"Mundo think Yordle is too squishy, Mundo need 'nuther!" -- Dr. Edmundo, the Madman of Zaun

#Skins & Trivia 1). Classic Skin: Irwin stands at about thigh height and is somewhat chubby for most champions. He personally swears that he is only big boned, and has shown remarkable resilience, strength, and tenacity on the Fields of Justice. He wears a dull and somewhat rusted iron mask with two large goggles and a small mouth slot for eating. It has a few dirty bolts holding pieces together, some some plates on the mask are mismatching. His gauntlets are somewhat similar, and have small studs on the knuckles for added damage. He wears dark brown pants and tanned boots. Irwin's fur is a light gray color with streaks of darker gray.
2). Engineer Irwin: Irwin gains a pair of navy overalls, a white t-shirt, dark brown workman's gloves and boots, and his mask and goggles are replaced by a welder's mask! This design is made to show that he can be quite the craftsman, as he had a small part in the making of his hextech gadgets and items. Currently, Engineer Irwin costs http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091017165554/leagueoflegends/images/thumb/8/8c/RpPoints.png/15px-RpPoints.png 975.
3). Battlecast Irwin: Viktor gives poor Irwin another round of experimentation and upgrades him to match the other champions in the battlecast line. Irwin's mask is fixated to his now dark gray mechanical flesh, with a single eye that fires dark purple beams now. His gauntlets are now slightly edged on the knuckles; the knuckles themselves glow faint purple. His boots gain treads on the bottom and actually swivel during Sidestep. Battlecast Irwin costs http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20091017165554/leagueoflegends/images/thumb/8/8c/RpPoints.png/15px-RpPoints.png 750.
- Irwin was designed by Leroyswish.
- When Irwin dies, his mask explodes and reveals his scarred flesh and slightly patchy, dirty fur.
- Irwin is not affiliated with any other Yordles, but he is a big fan of Rumble's craftsman ship, Teemo's self-control, Tristana's fighting spirit, Veigar's fashion sense, and Poppy's proven dedication. He also wishes he and Lulu could become best friends.
- Engineer Irwin's ranged attacks and abilities while in The Iron Mask passive fire a single beam instead of two; this does not alter range or damage at all.
- While in Battlecast form, Armguard creates a small visible purple forcefield around his gauntlets, and Resistance causes his feet to glow a faint purple color.
- When activating True Freedom while in his Battlecast skin, Irwin has a 24.5% chance of saying, "The glorious evolution!"
