Malion, the Puppet Master of Souls
In Piltover, the amount of technomancers, and inventers are abundant, one of the lesser known however was a simple puppet maker by the name of Malion Ettomb. He was a man of weaker constitutions and a somewhat adept technomancer, he would often create small automotons to use in puppet shows that he like to perform for the children. As years passed and the city began to progress more and more as it might Malion, kept making his puppets more complex and large to the point where they were nearly as tall as him.
he loved all of his creations as if they were his own children, but one day during one of his shows a horrible rain storm began to fill the area and a bolt of lightning struck on of his creations the large amount of electricity overloaded it and it went ballistic tearing down the stage, attacking the children and parents alike who had come to see the show only to watch in horror as the creation in one last burst of energy turned to its master and ripped him to pieces before shutting down, the final act of his performance was his final act forever ..... or so you might think. You see in order to give his wooden and metal clad family the appearance of life and sentience he looked not to the research of
, though he had done the same with his own creations, no he looked to the Shadow Isles, he wanted to give them true life by means of imbuing them with souls dragged from the shores of the Shadow isles by a powerful spell and locked in their new robotic bodies, he thought he was saving them, taking them away from the dreadful place they were trapped in for eternity. He was right they did like being away from the isles but the souls were not wanting to be trapped yet again in an even tighter place and used for entertainment. That is why the one turned on him in truth it wasn't malfunctioning at all it was simply taking the opportunity the bolt of lightning presented it with. it was dismantled quickly by
after the crowd had be cleared away and the soul was released. Marion's mangled body was cremated and the ashes dumped after the police had found out what he was doing to the make his puppets come to life.
His own soul drifted for what seemed like eternity before landing on the shores of an ominous and dark island, a place he knew all to well from the many readings he had conducted. he was now in the Shadow Isles and it wasn't long before he was welcomed with great anger by the very souls that he had placed in his puppet creations. they attacked and he ran as fast as he could in his soul form flying at speeds that only a man as afraid as he was could. he eventually made it to a grove of trees that glowed with a pale blue green energy, and he had an idea if he was to defend himself he would need help he was not strong he was as thin as some of the skeletons and corpses that lived on this island, but he could make a stronger body and he could make some friends to help him. So he made tools out of rocks and twigs and what ever he could find and began to cut down and carve the trees to the malcontent of
who would often try to find the now mad puppet master, but would always come up empty handed. He spent days carving and constructing a wooden body from the twisted trees and learned how to posses it and control it from the inside or the outside. He also created multiple smaller puppets that he set to fit inside of special compartments of his new body. He only needed one more thing to destroy the souls of those that he wronged and that tried to make his afterlife a unloving nightmare, and he would absorb their dark energy into the wood of the trees that he created his new puppets from. So he set out in his new body and found the souls of his aggressors and with the dark magic imbued in the wood of his new form he dispatched them quickly and absorbed their soul energy into the other smaller puppets that he had made with these his puppets would now be able to reform and return to him even after destruction, and with his newly developed spirit powers he could summon them at will using spectral strings of souls energy he was now ready to set out back to Piltover where it all began, and reek terror on those who destroyed his work and his home after his demise. He was not just a simple puppet maker anymore he is now Malion Ett the Puppet Master of Souls.
Passive - Soul Pupppets - When Malion kills an enemy minion or champion there is a chance that a soul puppet will take its place and begin attacking foes around it for a few seconds. Q - Puppet Controller - Malion brings out a dark puppet controller and throws it forward, if this connects with an enemy champion that champion is then under the controller and stunned for a shot time and as long as the champion remains within the spell range of the casting range of the ability it is under the fear effect and takes magic damage. W - Dark Strings- Malion attaches a dark energy string to the subject of his attacks and after it is reactivated the strings are ripped out dealing magic damage for each one attached and slowing the one it is used on. E- Let the Show Begin- Summon 6 puppets around you to fight anything that comes near, upon reactivation send the puppets out to form a wall that explodes on contact with an enemy champion that champion is dealt magic damage times the number of puppets that the wall was made of. R - Final Act- Malion summons his puppet vessel and 6 puppet minions to fight at his side when reactivated or when health falls to 0 send out the puppet body and all remaining puppet minions at the nearest enemy champion they explode after making contact and deal magic damage times the number of puppet minions + the larger puppets total kills.
I got this idea after seeing the puppet show for the latest harrowing and thinking of what a piltover originating guy would be like from the shadow isles. Let me know what you think give me so suggestions and make some art if you are able to I can draw and paint but not digitally very well so I couldn't really get a solid image to go with this.
