The character model for Akira, the Herald of Madness would be a black-haired human wearing bloodied armor and wielding a scythe.

Lore Akira was once a Demacian soldier. In fact, he was one of the best. He was always in the front lines, cutting down the enemy into the pools of blood at his feet. However, killing people by the hundereds every other day for two years tends to take a toll on your sanity. Akira is a prime example of that. During a particularly large battle against Noxus, something inside his aleady unstable mind snapped. It wasn't noticable until the Noxian forces had fled, and one of the soldiers said they were glad it was over. To which Akira replied. "Over? No battle is over while there's still blood in your veins!". He proceeded to cut down every soldier he could reach. Before he was apprehended, Akira managed to kill a little short of half of them. When he was asked what he had to say for himself, he simply said "I'm disappointed I couldn't have killed more of them".

After the little exchange, Akira was sentenced to death. But by some random stroke of luck, a Noxian invasion accidentally saved him. A favor he repayed by slaying as many of them as he could see. After his escape, Akira lived seperate from civilization, which only served to bring further ruin to his already crippled mind. It was when he returned to civilization for the first time in years, and witnessed a League game with Jinx and Renekton, that it was his personal job to show the entirity of Runeterra what true madness looked like. He entered the League of Legends, and fights for anyone who has the stomach to watch.

Quotes "Oh no, somebody dropped their head," -Akira, the Herald of Madness "Akira...now there's a guy who knows how to have some fun!" -Jinx, the Loose Cannon "I fear to think what it would be like to live in the mind of Akira" Garen, the Might of Demacia "I once held onto the firm belief that no being in this universe could be more insane than my brother. I now know that I was wrong" -Nasus, the Curator of the Sands "He possesses the one soul I do not wish to collect" -Thresh, the Chain Warden

Abilities His passive would be Coalescing Madness. His mana bar is replaced with a madness bar, which works like fury, but it also collects madness whenever he takes damage equal to 10% of his health. Meaning that if he takes a total of 8% of his health at first, and 2% later, he gains madness. His madness bar would cap at 100. His abilities normally have no cost, but will consume madness if he has it, gaining extra effects, excluding his ult.

His Q would be Insane Inspiration. Akira gains a temporary Attack Speed boost equal to 25% of his current attack speed (excluding buffs and debuffs). If he has 50 madness, nearby allied champions also gain this boost.

His W would be Reap the Hordes. He swings his scythe in an arc, dealing 80/110/140/170/200 physical damage, and healing for 20% of the damage dealt. If he has 50 madness, he pulls enemies that he hits towards him.

His E would be Helm Splitter. He leaps a short distance to a target, dealing 90/120/150/180/210 physical damage. If he has 50 madness, they lose 30 points of armor for a short time.

His Ult would be Embrace of Madness. He reaches for an enemy with his scythe, pulling them towards him and dealing 150/250/350 physical damage. If he has 100 madness, they are slowed for 2 seconds, and he deals true damage instead.

Lines [Selection] "I will show you true madness" [Movement] "Let's have some fun" "Heeere's Akira" "Why should I stop if you're not dead yet?" [Attacking] "Blood. Blood! BLOOD!" "The squimish should watch intently" "Bodies bodies everywhere, and ALL of them to kill" [Joke] "It's all fun and games until someone loses their head, and then it's hillarious!" "It needs to be about 20% bloodier" "Skin to bone, and steel to- Never mind just die" [Taunt] "I may have lost my mind, but your head is next!" "There's no use running, I'll find you later anyway" [When Using Q]"Fall to pieces!" "Does this hurt?" [When Using W]"DUCK!" "So. Much! BLOOD!" [When Using E]"INCOMING!" "You cut so easily" [When Using R]"Where are you going?" "If only you didn't fall apart so easiliy"

This is just an idea, If you think of anything that would help it out, please let me know.

I would totally play this, however i feel like instead of his e being targeted it'd work better as a skillshot for improved mobility

This is just a nerfed renekton, if you think about it. Except his ult.
