Champion Request: Shin'yu, the Faithful

[THIS IS A RE-POST TO MOVE THIS DISCUSSION TO ANOTHER BOARD. PLEASE DO NOT FLAG SPAM IF YOU HAVE SEEN THIS ALREADY. ALSO, SUPPORT THIS CHAMPION!]

Ever since I saw Yasuo, there have been many champions who go well with him (Malphite or some knock up champ). However, what if there is a champion related to his lore AND goes well with him. Well, here he is; Shin’yu, the Faithful.

Role: Fighter/ Assassin Lane: Top, Jungle

Statistics: HP: 523--1957 Health Regen: 4.5--20.4 Melee Range: 175 Attack Damage: 50--105 Attack Speed: .70 (+0% -- 52.4%) Armor: 25.4--65.7 Magic Resistance: 25 Movement Speed: 350

Abilities: Passive- "Channeling Power": Once Shin'yu casts a spell, a surge of lighting flows around him, granting him to spread his lightning against his foes, damages up a maximum of four opponents based on 50% of his AD. He cannot damage the same opponent(s) with this passive for 30 seconds and will be marked. However, he will reduce the timer by .5 seconds every basic attack he deals upon minions and champions.

Hidden Passive: "The Wind Is On My Side"- If an ally Yasuo is on his team, him and Yasuo will gain +1 attack and +1% movement speed if near each other.

"Secret Lover"- If an Irelia is on the same team, he will also get the same buffs with Yasuo but Irelia would not. [These passives do not stack]

Q (Cool-down: 5 seconds. Range: 300. Energy Slash Range: 800) - "Twirling Thunder": Shin’yu swings his blade around him, dealing 100% of his AD + 15/30/45/60/80. If he hits a target twice, he can cast a Energy Slash that lasts for 8 seconds. It goes through the first target dealing full AD damage, then explodes if it hits another or is at its maximum range inflicting only 55% of his AD. The slash stuns targets hit by the explosion for 2 seconds and the first target hit will be slowed by 10% for 2 seconds. This ability counts as a basic attack and will apply on hit effects. (Thinking of adding Thunder particles in this ability cause of the name.).

W (Cool-down: 13/12/11/10/9 seconds)- "The Shielding Grace": Shin’yu surrounds himself with lightning and shields 30/60/120/180/200 + 75% of his AP. While his shield is still on, he gains +5%/10%/15%/20%/25% attack speed.

E (Cool-down: 18/17/16/15/14 seconds. Range: 500. Distance around Epicenter: +100)- "The Leap Of Faith": Shin’yu jumps in the air and slams his sword on the ground, creating a shock-wave dealing 30/60/90/120/150 + 60% of his AD. If been hit by Channeling Power and lands on the epicenter, the target(s) will be stunned for 1 second.

R (Cool-down: 150/125/100 seconds. Range: 2500)- "Last Stand": Shin’yu musters his power for 5 seconds and jumps in a targeted location 2500 units away. In a 500 radius, he will cause a lightning shockwave which slows enemy champions by 20% for .5 seconds. If enemies stay within the lightning circle for 3 seconds, then they will be knocked up for 1 second. He will deal 160/240/320 + 145% of his AD on impact.

LORE [THIS IS REALLLLLLY LONG]: Shin’yu was a normal Ionian boy. He lived in a peaceful village along the mountains where kids roamed around the village with laughter, people greeted each other with a smile on their faces and where no evil deeds can be seen. However, a group of bandits ransacked his village and burned it down. Shin’yu fled the village, crying and not knowing where to go. Suddenly, the skies turned dark and lightning flashed all over him. Then, with a loud bang, he fainted on the spot.

He woke up, wondering what happened to him. He felt a surge of energy flowing through him. Then he decided to go to the Ionian capital, based on his father's adventures. As he got there, he had no money to stay in an inn or to eat. So he spent his days as a thief; stealing and escaping.

One day, a group of swordsmen cornered the boy. Laughing and teasing him, they gave him a sword thinking that he cannot fight. They never thought to be almost killed by him. The officer of the patrolling group managed to restrain the boy. However, instead of putting Shin’yu in prison, he sent him to the Ionian sword school to hone his skills as a blades-man. Many people teased him and made fun of him, calling Shin’yu a "maggot" or other names just because he is an outsider to their society. It seemed that Shin’yu had no friends, until a individual stood up for him; Yasuo. His new friend treated him with respect and Shin'yu looked at him more as a brother rather than a friend.

Shin'yu sees Yasuo as his model, mimicking his sword techniques and style the best way he can. People laughed and called them twins. Yasuo didn't mind and decided to show Shin'yu his ways. Yasuo was surprised, seeing his friend progressed efficiently. However, he cannot use the wind. Enraged that he cannot achieve this, Shin'yu swung his sword at the practice dummy, letting out lightning from his sword and cutting the sword in two. Impressed that Shin'yu can do such feat, they continued to practice with each other. Some days later, Yasuo presented him his father's muramasa. With so much honor, he took the sword, taking his friend and considering each other as blood brothers and his most faithful friend.

Tis' the day when Noxus invaded and Shin’yu stood guard on his post on the Great Stand of the Placidium as his first task from the Sword School. Many of his friends stood with him as they saw the Ionians fell one by one. Eventually, they retreated to their position and the Noxians pursued them. The defenders discouraged and dared to run, however, Shin'yu remains faithful and decided to stay. He mocked the defenders, calling them cowards and they have no sense of protecting the ones they love. Shin'yu and the rest of the defenders of the Placidium charged, preventing the Noxians to pursue them. Shin'yu gallantly fought the Noxians for hours until the Noxians soon overwhelmed them. Just as a group of Noxians cornered him, a streak of light passed through them and ended their lives. He saw the legendary Irelia and soon liked her at first glanced. The two acknowledged each other and fought each other side to side until the Noxians retreated. The Ionians triumphed.

Days after the battle, Shin'yu returned to the Sword School. He asked about his friend Yasuo and was replied with threats and harsh words. Many say he had killed the Ionian Elder and called him a traitor. He knows that Yasuo will never commit such crime. Hand-picked soldiers were sent to chase Yasuo and were never heard of again. Shin'yu decided his fate; to join with his blood brother regardless of his crime. Shin’yu went, carrying his belongings with him and began his adventure of searching for Yasuo. He hopes that one day, he and Yasuo will meet again not as enemies, but as traveling friends in together of searching for the real culprit.

Dance: [takes out a flute and plays the Battalion Wars 2 song: Check it out to hear it from 30-45 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AruYn0R7aA] Hidden: If he plays this song next to Baron, it will dance along with it.

(Joke for Master Yi) -"Hey, do you have scopes on those? Hehe I know what you be doing..." -"Master Yizzles is OPizzles!" [Quote used from the Youtuber LeagueofGamer]

(Joke [raises his sword above him, looking at it then returning to normal position]): -"A wise person once told me, it's not the size, but the motion of the ocean. Huh, wonder what that means." -"I GOT THE POWER! No...too loud." -"You know why big swords are awesome...Cause they are big."

(Taunt [turns his back on them and spits on the ground]): -"I'm too good for you, spits so back off" -"Hey, I see what you need spits; skills"

(If an enemy ninja is around [AS Yodainme Naruto suggested] and if he taunts. His animation will be different. He swings his sword around and then rests it on his shoulder) -"Hey, if you are enemies with Yasuo, then begone!" -"Using shadows to kill is not honorable"

(If jokes around an enemy or ally ) -"So uh, maybe dinner tonight after this?" -"You like big swords too huh? Well, that's one thing we have in common.

(His response to Irelia's taunt when he taunts) -"This sword is too precious to let go. Let go of yours or I will end you"

(Irelia and Shin'yu next to each other [only once per match]) -[At the start of the game] Irelia: "You...Once my comrade, now a foe...You are lucky that we are in the same team." -"Maybe our destinies aren't meant to intertwine..." -Irelia: "Hmph..."

-[Randomly in the Match (once per match)] Irelia: "Why are you follow me scum?" -"Woah, I just came here sweets." -Irelia: "Pft, I have met better matured men than you." -"But you haven't seen a better good looking guy like me eh?"

(When buying...) -(Ravenous Hydra): "So this can create waves of...energy? Sweet" or "Shockwaves plus shockwaves equals MORE SHOCKWAVES!" -(Last Whisper): "Hey, I can give this to Yasuo...But he doesn't use these type of stuff" or "Hey, you hear that? I'm sorry, whisper it to me again." -(Normal boots): "Sheesh, can I get a size 10 for these?" or "This feels like wearing the academy's training shoes all over again." -(Tier 2 Boots): "Yes! These feel like sandals!" -(Berserker Boots): "More attack speed and better foot cushions? Sweeeet." -(Warmogs): "Ugh, I feel like I ate so much sushi..." or "This is reaaally heavy for someone like me. THIS is huge man!" -(Infinity Edge): "I wonder if this sword can stretch out infinitely...Woah, two muramasas?!" or "Haha, critical advantage!" -(Static Shiv): "Whoever made this just copied my style" or "This can also do lightning attacks? I like it!"

Appearance: -As said in the lore, Shin'yu attempted to look like Yasuo however, he has shorter hair and is a left-handed swordsman. In a game reference, I tend his sword to look like Sephiroth's blade and how he moves in Dissidia is the game reference. Also, he has a scarf that goes around him and it will "flow out" when he walks. He originally wears a straw hat but made him held it so you can see his face [I tried but will accept criticism].

Fighting Style: Shin'yu's fighting style be like Anakin Skywalker, using fierce aerobic swordplay to beat his opponents. Since he is lightning, I was thinking of him having lightning particles flying out of him the more attack speed he has. It would be awesome, yet scary to many.

Item Recommendation: -I would highly suggest getting high damage and armor penetration on Shin'yu. Items like Last Whisper and Hydra can help him.

Explanation: You guys are probably wondering about him now. I'll explain. First off, his basic stats. It is pretty high for someone to get 1.06 attack speed at Level 18. Not only that, his def is high. This gives the player/summoner to chose whether to go AD Crit or a Tank/Bruiser. So, chose wisely according to the team composition (but I prefer AD).

Doesn't his abilities right a bell? AHEM, [ ] Well, then you are right. Shin'yu's passive is like a static shiv, since it can spread like it. However, this can only apply once every seven seconds.

Shin'yu's Q is like Zed's Q however think of a Hericam's Q. His exploding mechanism is awesome and unique. If you want a stun, you have to tactically aim it so it explodes on your main target. No "spray and pray".

His W is self-explanatory, shield=more attack speed so I don't need to further discuss that.

His E is also self-explanatory; hit them in the center especially when your passive is marked on them.

Now his R is special. Like Pantheon, he leaps to a targeted area. However, he knocks up enemy champions if they stay in the circle for too long. Originally he was supposed to knock people up when he lands on the ground but some commentators say that's OP so I changed it. Anyways, this will turn the tables if played right, ESPECIALLY if there is a Yasuo on your team and your knock up all 5 foes. However, this will take 5 seconds to cast it and obviously there will be an indication to his landing.

There are more quotes if I can think of them. If you guys want to request a change, ask me and I'll do it. Support this next champion if you guys like him! (NOTE: Made a mistake on the voting section. "This" not DID). Though I am not a good drawer, I will try to add a concept art. Trust me, it won't be a stickfigure thingy.

Please League Of Legends if you are thinking of releasing Shin'yu, do not take the credit all for yourselves. **Also DOOOOOOOO NOOOOT COPY MY ARTWORK. I spent a lot of time doing this. Plus, I want to join the group that makes Champions every month. I won't disappoint you!
