(Character Concept) Kai the Shadow Blade

KAI “The Shadow Blade”

Melee/assassin/Jungle

Passive ability: Spry
The greater his movement speed the greater his abilities distance; also, slightly increases his abilities damage. Instead of hecarim’s passive for general damage only the abilities get the benefit.

Q: Shadow Strike – (65 Energy)
-Charges up for a lung strike that deals Heavy damage plus additional damage based on his current speed. With boots of swiftness only as a speed modifier, this ability has the range of kennen’s thunder shrunken. Only a fully charged shadow strike can he go through walls/bushes. 1 second to charge up. -Lvl’ing up increases damage %. Also decreases cool down time. Moving canceles the charged position. haven't quite figured out a good scale for this yet. (20 sec cool down)

W: Shadow Step – (40 Energy) (Shadow charge)
Builds up to two flashes (smoke flashes kind of like shaco/nightcrawler) that gain flash distance the higher his speed is. Using two (both) shadow steps under five sec cost 40 energy. Shadow step goes the maximum distance closest to cursor. Each flash takes 35 seconds to build. (if this is found too cheap it can be used like Kat’s shunpo(select on targets only) but I doubt it)
Lvl.1 store one shadow charge (half a flash distance)
Lvl.2 store two shadow charge (still at half flash distant)
Lvl.3 cool down reduced to 30 sec
Lvl. 4 cool down reduced to 25 sec
Lvl. 5 cool down reduced to 20 sec

E: JUST – (varies)
“Just” (j frame input used in soul calibur series first 3/60 frames) can only be used after any other attack. Each “just time limit is .5 sec after the use of an ability or basic attack or whenever another ability is used. A basic attack will not override the .5 sec of the last ability. 10 sec cool down. Basic attack “Just” – does double handed heavy vertical slash that does +10% movement speed extra damage to champions and 50% extra damage to minions. This cost 30 energy

Q – Shadow Strike ability – after you land this ability on a champion you have the .5 sec to use “Just” to teleport behind the champ you struck dropping from above you landing a critical (vertical) strike. This cost 70 energy to use.

W – Shadow Step ability – After you flash, you do an A.O.E. spin attack. +10% attack damage and +5% speed damage This cost 50 energy

R – Retribution- instead of chasing after the one doing damage you Brace yourself creating a barrier around you that absorbs ALL damage for 2 sec. (Zhonya's Hourglass but targetable) (with no damage taken no retribution can be given)

This will keep the move set from being too cheap early on and give a reason to lvl “just” up
Lvl. 1 – “Just” can be used after a basic attack
Lvl.2 - “Just” can be used after a shadow step.
Lvl.3 – “Just” can be used after a shadow strike
Lvl.4 – “Just” can be used after using the ULT but before the ult initiates.
Lvl.5 – Deal and extra 10% damage (keeps his damage from dropping off)

R: (Global ULT) Retribution (40 Energy)
(— n 1. the act of punishing or taking vengeance for wrongdoing, sin, or injury) – using this ability you halt all actions and brace yourself (for 1.5 sec) for impact. Upon being hit with any ability, you take reduced damage and appear behind the champion that hit you for a critical strike. (You do not return to your position before you used the ability so try not to use if they global ult from in their base.) (+15% movement speed damage)Bracing makes it fair for enemy champs so you don’t just hit ult and run over a cait trap and BAM! Lvl.1 (100 sec) you get to use the ability Lvl.2 (90 sec) (+10% of movement speed in damage) Lvl.3 (180 sec) ¼ damage taken

-Single straight sword on his back (too many duel wielding ninjas) that is sheathed after 2 sec of not attacking. His right hand almost never leaves the handle (only to taunt etc.). All his basic attacks are one handed. Two handed on crits and on abilities that do critical damage/ % damage. -This champ is mainly an assassin that deals slight burst damage but mainly relies on keeping up staying in the enemies face and if necessary RUNNING away, if you didn’t go all out and drain your energy. His biggest weaknesses are stuns and slow. The stuns will of course just suck as he isn’t armor heavy and relies on moving, the slows will make his abilities travel less distance and bring down his damage slightly making the shadow step and abilities less affective etc. Greatest advantage is a surprise strike doing initial burst damage and then staying at close range with a blade to your throat/back. He can jump in for some burst damage and if not caught jump out of battle quickly. In team fights his most useful purpose would be to sneak/get past enemy lines for ADC champions but that is easier said than done. I wanted to make this champ speedy because of the annoying stand offs. 5v5 at the enemy base and they are under a turret and nothing is happening. You notice the minions are almost at the top turret so you decide to split push. The enemy team now has an advantage 5v4. It may wast your shadow steps and some energy but Kai will be able to quickly rejoin the battle…. -This set up allows him to be used as a jng or top lane. Selecting “Just” first he can do extra dmg to minions and monsters. Top lane he can get the shadow step for a quick escape or shadow strike to take out a minion and run.

LORE:
Kai is from an extremely passive and secretive clan of ninjas who observe the world gathering information only interfering when they deem necessary. They often send students to infiltrate and join other ninja clans to keep tabs and to steel their secrets. Kai was at Shen’s clan for only a brief period of time before ZED attacked. Because of shen he escaped and disappeared. Instead of going back to his own village he decided to sneak in to Zeds army to learn all that he can. Kai enjoys being in the league because of all the interesting people and their abilities all gathered around for studying and if that means he has to have fun and go toe to toe with a GIANT Egyptian dog creature with a yordle basher 3000 then so be it. While Kai may seem passive, if you present yourself as an enemy don’t blink because he will not hesitate to permanently pacify anyone in his way. Kai is most proud of his speed and endurance that has kept him from being noticed and to escape any situation undetected.

Joke: "Hey! Whats that over there" Throws down a smoke pellet that defects and barley spews out any cover. "well...that was disappointing.

Taunt: Psst. Come here! I have some very, very crucial information to tell you.

Laugh: curls over in pain pointing forward and holding his stomach laughing hysterically but you hear nothing.

Dance: The I POD Dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlHUz99l-eo
