(Champion Concept) Molonym, the Spellthief

Molonym, the Spellthief

Name: Molonym

Age: appears to be in early 20’s

Description: Molonym is quite pale and has white hair, like fresh fallen snow. His eyes are silver but with an odd aged look, and he has a fine-boned angular face, with a slight curve of his eyes. He looks youthful, partially because of his slightness. He is always seen wearing a black baggy robe with a hood pulled back, and an aged pair of cargo pants with frayed bottoms. The enchanted blade he uses for his Q is also the blade he auto attacks with and it glows a faint blue when he uses the ability; aside from that, it remains plain when attacking. On his feet are basic black boots and when he dashes for his ult, he always steps with his left foot. When in possession of another person’s ult and when using it, his body glows white and his robe pulses with runes.

Allies: Ekko, Jinx Rivals: Caitlyn, Viktor, Vi

Lore

In the slums of Zaun, many orphaned children have to steal to survive. Living in rough times, in a ruined part of a decrepit city, Molonym had to follow the age old tradition of thievery just to live. He had to be fast on his feet, and even quicker with his fingers, to get food for his friends and himself.

Whether it was divine influence or a side effect from the exposure to the rouge magic and chemicals in Zaun’s toxic air, Molonym found one day that he could do more than steal items from people; he could steal their precious talents. Whether the talents were battle forged or mutated into the person, natural born or even from beyond the mundane world, if Molonym could see himself doing it, he did it.

In the early beginnings, Molonym didn’t know what he had managed to steal. He was sneaking through the back ally of the slums and found a rather large man lying against a building. When he had approached them man, he took a quick step, slipped a hand inside the man’s pocket, and twisted to run away. Little did he know he had attempted to pilfer the pockets of the Madman of Zaun, Doctor Edmundo. With a snarl, the madman chase after him and attempted his signature Sadism technique, only to have it fail. With what he thought was luck, Molonym sprinted away as fast as he could, disappearing from sight, throwing whatever he has stolen to the side like trash. The glittering mass of talent fell glittering out of sight and shattered on the floor.

Months after the encounter, Molonym discovered what his gift was through experimentation. Much to his relief, he found that it revitalized his soul and gave him a glimpse of the powers others held; others who occasionally were much more fortunate than he was. With this realization, he pledged to no one in particular that we would take other’s abilities and raise himself out of the slums on the talent of others.

Abilities

P – Criminal Intent/Spell Siphon

Criminal Intent

Whenever an enemy champion is near Molonym, a bag shaped mark appears over his head that only Molonym can see. If the bag looks like it is filled with coins, it means the enemy has their Ultimate available. Conversely, if it is empty, it means the ultimate is on cooldown and the “bag” will gradually fill to indicate the enemy’s cooldown.

Spell Siphon

Each consecutive Auto Attack and Ability used on the same enemy champion steals mana equal to 2% of damage dealt. If the enemy Champion runs out of mana/resource completely, Molonym's next ability/auto attack will be a Critical Hit and Silences for 3 seconds.

Cooldown: 10 seconds

Comments: Basically, this passive is more of an ability to see his opponents intentions to help plan for attacks and when to use his ultimate. Without this passive, his ultimate could be wasted. Edit added an additional passive to solidify his title as Spellthief.

Q – Swindler’s Blade

Molonym pulls out a knife and throws it in a straight line, striking all enemies it passes through and stopping at the first enemy champion hit. If thrown from a bush or while under the effects of Evasive Maneuvers, the enemy champion is surprised and is stunned for 1 second. Minions take 50% increased damage.

Damage: 60 / 100 / 140 / 180 / 220 (+30% Bonus AP) Cost: 60 Mana Cooldown: 13 / 12 / 11 / 10 / 9 seconds Range: 875

W – Evasive Maneuvers

Molonym becomes invisible for 3 seconds and has increased movement speed. While invisible, he can still be hit with hard CC and becomes visible when struck.

Movement Speed Boost: 10% / 15% / 20% / 25% / 30% (+40% Bonus AP) Cost: 40 / 45 / 50 / 55 / 60 Mana Cooldown: 15 / 14 / 13 / 12 / 10 Seconds Comments: This is Molonym’s only escape tool, aside from summoners and items.

E – Desperate Times

When toggled, Molonym’s Auto Attacks deal additional Magic Damage on hit. Desperate Times drains mana per attack.

Damage: 20 / 25 / 30 / 35 / 40 (+45% Bonus AP)(+50% Bonus AD) Cost: 5 mana per Auto Attack Cooldown: 2 seconds

Comments: At higher Attack Speeds, Molonym can easily clear waves at the cost of heavy mana usage. The mana drain is per attack instead of per second, which can be a blessing at low attack speed, but a curse at higher attack speed.

R – The Perfect Heist

First Stage / 1 point in Ult

Molonym dashes forward and steals target enemy champion’s iconic attack (Ultimate), putting the opponent’s R on instant cooldown, no mana expended for opponent. However, Molonym is unable to see the use of what he stole, so he throws it away without using it and uses one of his set R phrases.

Second Stage / 2 points in Ult

Molonym dashes forward and steals target enemy champion’s iconic attack (Ultimate), putting the opponent’s R on instant cooldown and steals mana equal to the amount of mana required to use target opponents attack, restoring his own mana reserves. However, as grateful he is for the mana, he still finds no use in the spell he stole, so he throws it away.

Final Stage / 3 points in Ult

Molonym dashes forward and steals target enemy champion’s iconic attack (Ultimate), putting the opponent’s R on instant cooldown and steals mana equal to the amount of mana required to use target opponents attack, restoring his own mana reserves. Molonym is now also able to grasp the concept of what he stole, and is able to use opponent’s ability within 5 seconds of stealing it. In the case of form changing abilities, he simply tosses it away with an animation and uses one of his set R phrases.

Cost: 100 / 100 / Undefined Mana Cooldown: 180 / 150 / 120 Seconds Range: 600

Notes: In the case of abilities that use energy, the mana restored is equal to the energy stolen. If the ability uses a different resource or requires no mana, no mana is restored to Molonym.
