[Champion Concept] Azazel: The Dark Nomad
Ok I would like to start this post by saying that this is my 1st champion concept and might be very rough. The Idea for this champion was basically to make a champion who has similar Dark feeling like you would get from the void but Not from the void and drew some inspiration from Azir. Without Further Ado here goes. (side note sorry the lore is a bit longer than most xD oh and riot does have permission to use all of these ideas here :D)
Lore: There goes a tale throughout the land of valoran of a man who lost everything, Including himself. Stay a while and listen for this is a tale unlike any you have heard. Ages ago in the once prosperous city of Icathia in the barren wastes of Shurima there lived a man named Azazel Oleander who ran a small but profitable weapon smith's shop and showcased his prize possession a pair of full arm metallic frames he called his Reaver Claws, but Azazel had many customers who came in search of his weapons to make travel and life in general out in the shuriman desert a little easier so he had to make frequent trips across the desert to noxus where he could purchase more materials to make his weaponry. When Azazel had to make these trips he always brought along his reaver claws as they provided immense protection for him in his travels. One day during one of his trips to noxus Azazel was wandering through the desert when he happened across a body of a strange very pale man left to decay in the sands. Azazel was going to just keep walking when he noticed a strange shirt upon the man's body that covered the upper half of his chest and was covered in strange markings that resembled the slitted eye of a creature and was surrounded by black rings, this strange clothing also had black extremely loose sleeves with white cuffs coated in straight black lines similar to those on the chest part the man also had a black bandana covering his face both articles were cold to the touch and sent a strange tingling sensation through him. Azazel decided to take these things from the man as he certainly was not going to need them and he figured they could cool him off in this heated desert. When Azazel put this strange clothing on he was instantly shocked with a jolt of some unknown energy which he just dismissed as his imagination and continued on his journey now later that night he set up camp and got everything set up as he normally would and went to sleep. When Azazel awoke he found that he could not remove the garment he had taken and he had gained a strange black marking spreading all along his chest. After reaching the conclusion that he could not remove this thing he decided to head back home and get help before getting more supplies for his store. Along the way home Azazel started hearing a strange voice ringing through his head, It told him of power and destruction stronger and more vile than his worst nightmares and where he could obtain this power, the voice also told him how all of his worries would meld away and he could rest and not worry about work any longer. At first Azazel tried to ignore it but as the days of crossing the drew on he found himself wandering not toward home but toward a strange monolith standing high in the middle of the desert. When Azazel reached this monolith he found it had a strange black orb floating on a pedestal in front of it. The voice told him that once he touched it all his worries would meld away. When Azazel touched the orb it expanded rapidly in an explosion of black that blew across the desert ad far as he could see and then Azazel fainted. When he awoke Azazel was laying in the crumbled ruins of a city, He stood up and wandered around for a bit until he found a sign laying in the sand next to a destroyed shop. He picked up the sign and read the words Oleander's Smith and Shop and knew that he was amidst the ruins of his home. Azazel suddenly heard the voice laughing and asked it what happened to which the voice replied simply You are mine now. Suddenly Azazel was enveloped in a black haze and consumed by fear he tried to tear the shirt from himself once again but was only met by more laughter from it. Azazel gave in and the haze covered him paling his skin and giving him a strange black aura. The story goes that the creature had claimed Azazel's body and soul and now he wanders to this day around the lands bringing chaos and destruction everywhere he goes.
Weapon: Reaver Claws: The Reaver claws are a pair of hextech metal frames going down the length of both arms (these are covered by the sleeves of the jacket so you wont see that part of them) ending by covering the hands with a large canister going down the arm in the middle of the frame infused with magic. The body of Azazel is infused with magic this way allowing him to use the sand to form sharp claws around his hands.
Look and Voice: Azazel has Dark medium length black Hair, tall and has a muscular build. He has light greyish pale skin and his eyes are all white surrounded by dark black rings on the outside. He wears a Black bandana covering the rest of his face besides his eyes. On the upper half of his torso he has the strange garment described in the story and his lower torso is bare chest covered in the black marking also described in the story. He has Black sand claws on his hands. His legs are covered down a bit past his knees by dark brown shorts . On his feet he wears leather shoes. For his voice think like a deeper sounding Malzahar but instead of the echoey thing he has make it sound more like 2 or 3 voices talking in unison.
Abilites: Passive: Impurity: Every time Azazel uses an ability he gains a stack of Impurity, after reaching 5 stacks of impurity Azazel consumes all stacks and gains a movement speed buff that decays over 2 seconds and gains 100 damage to his next basic attack. Azazel's passive has a 5 second cooldown before he can gain stacks again.
Q: Black Death: Azazel extends his sand claws and gains 0.15 attack speed and 10/15/30/45/60 + 100% current ad to his basic attacks for the next 3 seconds. (12 second cooldown)
W: The Deserts Call: Azazel creates a bubble of flowing black sand in a small radius around him lasting 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds slowing enemies and damaging for 100+ 25% current ad and 15% current ap. While this ability is in use all movement and attack speed buffs are removed from azazel and can not be added to him. (18 second cd)
E: Hear the Voices: Azazel lets out a fearsome scream that fears enemies for 2 seconds deals 80+ 25% current ap damage. (25 second cd)
R: Nomadic Wrath: Azazel releases all of his dark energy in a line in front of him dealing 200/400/600 + 50% current ad as damage and slowing enemies for 1 second. (85 second cooldown)
Overview: Azazel is meant to be played as a Top lane/jungle brawler who can get in your face quickly and deal damage but still be able to be counterplayed. Due to the high amount of damage he can dish out once he gets up to you he has longer cooldowns so as to keep him fair. Azazel will excel at fighting when he is right in your face (kind of similar to udyr) and will be able to handle himself against melee champs but will have troubles against ranged. (adc's and champs like kennen will be able to poke him down before he can get up to them so he has to play more strategically against them).
Other stuff: A basic combo for Azazel should be something like q,e,w,r with the idea that he buffs himself shortly with some damage and attack speed runs in fears the enemy and then starts to aoe damage them all while basic attacking for his main damage and then finishing them with his ult. another combo that may work is R,Q,E,W for more of a teamfighting/ganking combo where you slow and damage them, q for some buffs on your attacks, fear them and finish them with the slow and damage from your w while still auto attacking them.
Well that is really all um yeah xD hope you like him :p any thoughts on him are appreciated and I am also attaching a hand drawn picture of what I envision him to look like although im not some amazing artist I hope ya like it xD oh and it got flipped when I took the picture so yeah sorry for the weird mirror effect there xD.
