Lore Raised by a family well versed in magic and enchanting, this young woman found the study of magic not interesting at all. Maris would often sneak to a nearby blacksmith. Maris was far more enthralled with the practices and creations he would make for general use for the citizens of the Island Nation. Maris started to lead a double life, being both a studious mage for her family's sake, finding some knack in enchanting magics, and being an apprentice of the blacksmith.

When Maris became a woman, she attempted to combine her lives now. Setting about with a great sword first, Maris applied her enchanting spells. Overzealous in her efforts, Maris made a mistake, binding her soul to the sword. The weapon, as a result gained a life of its own. Calling itself Irgaak. Irgaak, knowing its purpose as a weapon only desires to be used as what it was made for. Maris began to wonder the world, trying to sate the bloodlust of the weapon, slaying hapless people that would happen across her. Taking whatever gold she could take to fund her further creations.

When the League of Legends formed, Maris seeks the chance to display herself as more than just a murderous woman to only state the dark side of herself, manifested in the Irgaak's bloodlust. She wished to be seen as a skillful weaponsmith, but she knows that she must prove herself with the Irgaak in tow against the other champions, if she wants her other works to be sought after.

Passive: Sentient Blade The Irgaak will attack one additional enemy minion or champion with every basic attack for 3% of Maris' current AD.

Q: Arch Slice Maris swings Irgaak in a large arch, damaging enemies in a 180 degree fan in front of her (160 unit max reach). Dealing 35/40/45/50/55 (+50% AD) Damage. Cooldown 20/18/16/14/12 secords (Applies on hit effects as it counts as a basic attack.)Mana costs: 65/75/85/95/105

W: Crimson Dash Maris Dashes Forward with the Irgaak in front of her (Max Range 200 units) Dealing damage to all enemies caught in the path and absorbing their lifeforce. Deals 20/22/24/26/28 (+25% AP and +10% AD) Damage with 5% return to Maris' HP. Cooldown is 15/14/13/12/11 seconds. Mana costs: 65/75/85/95/105

E: Keening Edge Maris channels her magic into the Irgaak, boosting its striking power for a short duration. Maris' attacks deal an additional 5/6/7/8/10 (+50 AP) damage for 4 seconds. 30/28/27/26/25 second cooldowns. Mana costs: 85/90/95/100/110

R: Reflection Strike Maris uses Irgaak in a mighty downward swing (175 unit range) Dealing moderate damage to those around her. Champion Abilities are deflected right back to its user, dealing its damage back to the user. Dealing its damage, and effects it applies. plus 25/50/75 (+10% AD) Damage. Cooldown: 90/75/60. Mana Cost: 150

Other fun stuff, like skins:

Since Maris sees herself as a business woman first, looking for another sale. A skin idea would be "Infomerical Marls" With an appearence similar to Billy Mays or any other as seen on TV pitchman with dialogue references to such products like (anything in ()'s is meant for the Irgaak's voice)

Start of Match: "Hi! Maris here for Irga-Clean!" Movement: "Do we got a deal for you!" "Call now!" "Irgaak is standing by for your business!" "And the Patent Pending Design!"

Attacks: "Act Now! Offers like this don't last forever!" "Now we'll show how Irga-Clean removes unwanted foes!" "Satisfaction Guaranteed!" "Proven Quality!"

Using Reflecting Strike: "Ever tough skills you just can't dodge?" "Removes tough Ults Fast!" "So Easy even Nasus can do it!" "And so much more!"

"Jokes": "For only two easy payments of 400 gold! Plus Shipping and Handling." "Not only we include 2 Irga-Cleans, but this handy pocketknife for all your craving needs, and the Irga-Clean T-Shirt!" "Product not sold in Summoner's Rift, Crystal Scar or the Proving Grounds!"

Taunts: "Help! You've fallen and can't get up!" "Watch the weight just melt away!" (Because you're Bleeding to death!) "No Refunds!" "Just walk right up!"

This is an example of what her/Irgaak's normal dialogue would be:

Upon Selection: Great Business Decision!

Movement Quotes: "Gotcha." (Soon....) "Sure Thing." (I thirst.) (Hurry.) (I can hardly wait.) "Business Calls!"

Attack Quotes: "Perhaps a demonstration!" (Yes!) (Excellent.) (Use ME!) "They'll know..."

Using Reflection Strike: "Refund!" "Inferior Weapon!" "Have it back!" (Pathetic!) (I am far better than your weapon)

Jokes: "We're going to need a bigger Blade." "Irgaak, you know what they call a Graggy Ice in Ionia?" (What do they call it?) "Disgusting."

Taunts: (Just another practice target) "Perhaps I could forge you a new weapon, yours looks rather dull."

Special Taunts: To Tryndamere: "You don't know true bloodlust!" To Lee Sin: (I am far better than your own body.)

Did an edit to lower a purposed AP ratio on E and changed a quote, some consistency issues.
