Lore: "For decades ive been imprisoned, held in the deep dark, only to rotten and wither away. My own kind, left me when i needed them the most. The humans took me and imprisoned me here...hahahaaa...and they thought that these chains would hold me from devouring their essence...hahacough coughhaa...generations have lived here and guarded me, but every death feeds me, makes me stronger. I can feel my chains slowly weaker...at last. They thought the chains could hold me still, the arcane spells would stable my hunger, and the warriors would watch me die? PATHETIC. IT. ENDS. HERE!" "Men, the cage is collapsing, TO YOUR STAAAAAGGHH..." "I SHALL DEVOUR YOU ALL! A gate made out of kordium, the hardest metal there is? How cute. Whats this? A armada of soldiers? Dinner is served...i guess our loud mouthed friend was just the starter of this feast. LET THE SLAUGHETR BEGINN! And once im done with you pesky fools...valoran is next!" screech
3 Months later "All men to your battle stations! We cant afford to lose another Fort, it's the last defence we have in this sector! Fire the Scorcher!" All sounds of screams, explosions and shouts where suddenly silent, when a loud hiss soud arrised, getting louder and louder until it sounded more like a constant explosion, and the cannon fired it flame right at the beast. Silence. The whole area was one massive scorched crater, glowing bright after that the earth itself had been tunred into ash. Once the smoke settled, nothing but ash was found. Loud cheers and shouts of joy where all over the fortress...Little knowing what was in the sewer pipes, half scorched, half alive. Years passed and everything seemed peaceful, but something wasnt quite right.
A new sort of disease was spreading, causing human and animal alike to just suddenly fall down, their soul and essence gone, but the wierdest thing was that they showed no symptom whatsoever. This lead to a chrisis in the fortress, and after just 3 years half the popultaion had died off. No doctors whatsover could stop this disease, and help was called. Demacia could not let thsi fortress fall due to the scorcher, the most powerful weapon in all runterra, however they started getting suspiciouns that it might be something worse than a disease. After 5 months of hard research, there was still nothing the medics could do. But one day something strange happened. A man going to clean the sewers suddenly screamed, only getting the words "It didnt die?!" Before a loud screech was heard and everything fell silent.
Warriors where sent down to investigate, never to come back. The citizens where uneased, and the plague was only getting stronger. Thats when it happened. The beast, thought dead, errupted from the ground. Enraged, hungry and fully healed, the beast was unstoppable. Rakora had during the years in the sewers devoured the essence of the citizens and thus making it seem like a plague. But not only his strength and hunger had grown, but also his rage, the years in the smelly sewers, complete darkness and no proper physical food had made him go mad. Bravely the demacian soldiers fought, attacking him with everything they had, but all in vein. Soon the beast had slaughtered them all, picked them of not one by one, but hundreds by hundreds. All that was left of the fort where a few buildings, ravaged corpses and a destroyed scorcher. "At last, all runterra is open for my consumption. I WILL KILL THEM ALL! FOR I. AM. RAKORA!!!" screeeech

Otherwise hoped you like it, thanks for reading and have a nice day :)
PATCH NOTES
Rakora V1.5
Fairly big changes:
Passive Essence devour
Made it a bit more clear on how it works
And one change:
Whener a nearby enemy dies, Rakora gets a stack of "Devoured Essence".
Whener Rakora kills or assists killing a enemy and rakora is within a 700 range radius, he gets a stack of "Devoured Essence".
Q: Pure rage
Decreased the duration in the early game to balance it, since he would be able to 1v1 anyone in the early game, getting ahead and then GG, but instead of nerfing it i made some changes:
NEW:
~~ ignoring any type of CC~~ ---> ignoring all slows, as well as cleansing all current debuffs
Rage duration: 5/6/7/8/9s ---> 3/4.5/6/7.5/9s
Increased magic damage taken: 10% ---> 20%
Now takes reduced physical damage: 5/10/15/20/25%
When exhausted, Rakora now deals less damage (All type of damage, exluding Ignite and Smite) : 20%
W: Essence cottuprion/Essence consumption
Fully changed, removed active and is now instead a toggled ability, reason beeing that you would aggro jungle monsters as well as towers and minions if a enemy champion should take damage.
W: Essence corruption
Cooldown: 8/7/6/5/4s
Passive: Nearby enemies take 1% damage of their max health every second
Active: Using the powers of the void, Rakora damages all nearby enemies, corrupting their essence, the stronger they are, the more damage they take.
"They promised that staying at hidden from that thing would save us, yet still just by stading there, it killed us all"
Damage: 5/7/9/11/13% of max health (max damage 500 to monsters) (+50%AP) (+20%AD)
W: Essence corruption/Essence consumption Cooldown: 1 Toggled 1: Nearby enemies take damage of their max health every second in a 600 range radius and increased damage from Rakoras basic attacks Damage: 1/1.5/2/2.5/3% Additional damage taken: 5/10/15/20/25 (+10AD) Toggled 2: Getting Devoured essence stacks now heal you Heal: 4/6/8/10/12 (+5AP)
E: Furious charge
Decreased knockup duration and overall damage

Damage to enemies knoced aside: 20/50/80/110/140 (+5% movement speed) (+50%AD)

Knock up duration: 0.5s
Knock up damage: 70/120/170/220/270 (+10% movement speed) (+80%AD)

R: Essence destruction
A lot of changes, regarding damage and mechanic, as well as making the description more detailed.
Instant damage: 10/20/30% of max health (+1/2/3 damage per "Devoured Essence" Stack) (+50%AP)
Damage over time: 1/3/5% of max health (+0.5/1/1.5 damage per "Devoured stack") (25%AP)
Instant damage: 200/300/400 Magic damage (+50%AP)
Damage over time: 10/25/50 Magic damage (25%AP)
Essence corruption:
Deals additional damage per Devoured essence stack, but sacrificing all your stacks (Primal essence is not removed)
Instant damage: 200/300/400 Magic damage (+1/2.5/5 damage per "Devoured Essence" Stack, +50/75/100 per "Primal essence" stack) (+50%AP)
Damage over time: 10/25/50 Magic damage (+0.5/1/1.5 damage per "Devoured essence" stack, +10/25/50 per "Primal essence" stack) (25%AP)
Essence Consumption
Heals 50/100/150 for every enemy that takes damage. If a enemy is killed by the instant or over time damage, he gains 10 Devoured essence stacks and is healed by 100/150/200
The idea of the changes are to tune his insane damage a bit down, removing his immunity to CC, not have more then 1 percentege health damage ability and making him more skill requiring and more of a tank, not to mention to remove that he can be absolute insane by taking almost no dmg and just killing everyone without a problem.
