Abilities and Passive
Passive: Nightshade Blood Being a member of the Nightshades, Milludea has made a pact with the dark spiritual forces her order deals with. This has tainted her weapons, causing them to 'bleed' liquid-like darkness that enhances her power. (Shown in the form of a shadowy creature that hovers over the afflicted target, which is Milludea's 'other half', or the dark spirit she made the pact with.) Milludea's abilities 'infect' enemy champions with this liquid-like darkness, for 5 seconds, called "Nightshade Blood". This enlivens her, causing her to move faster towards that unit. She is briefly "Ghosted" and gains 20/25/30/35 MS towards the infected Champion.
If she hits them with a basic attack during the time of their 'infection', the darkness explodes within them, causing them to take an additional 5%/7%/9%/11% magic damage based on the unit's max health. The unit then cannot be 'infected' again for another 9/8/7/6 seconds. (Scales down with Ult.)
Q: Shadowcleave (Range:600) (MP Cost: 45/50/55/60/65) (Cool-Down: 10/9/8/7/6 Seconds) Active: Milludea slashes in a wide cone-shaped arc in front of her, damaging units struck. Passive: Shadow Siphon- Milludea is refunded 10% of the MP cost for each unit struck, for a maximum of 50% refund in one strike.
W: Corruption Slice (Range: N/A, since it boosts the next AA) (MP Cost:40) (Cool-Down: 6 Seconds- 1 Second if "Nightshade Blood" is procced) Active: Milludea empowers her next basic attack to deal boosted damage. Hitting an enemy afflicted with "Nightshade Blood" greatly reduces the cool-down of this ability.
E: Blacksink (Range:650) (MP Cost:50/55/60/65/70) (Cool-Down: 15/14/13/12/11 Seconds) Active: Milludea creates a patch of black quicksand at the target area for a few seconds. The first unit that walks into it is snared for a time, and Milludea gains the ability to blink to that target and attack, dealing increased damage.
R: Consummate Ruination (Range: 550) (MP Cost: 100) (Cool-Down: 100/80/60 Seconds) Active: Milludea designates a target, and is temporarily possessed by the Nightshade she has made a pact with, which causes her to dash and attack wildly and mindlessly on the target (In a manner similar to Riku's "Dark Aura" attack from the Kingdom Hearts Games), dealing great damage, before coming crashing down above them, creating a final damaging shock-wave that affects enemy units around the target.
Lore
(This lore is told from the viewpoint of Zed, the Master of Shadows.)
It seems like after I slew that weak fool Kusho and eliminated his order of imbeciles, every force in Ionia has combined to undo me. First, Shen and his so-called 'allies' saved some of those weaklings, next the Golden Demon escapes his imprisonment; Now, a force that was once just considered a children's tale begins to make itself known.
Not too long after that fool adopted me and began to train me, he told us young ninjas tales of the group of people known as the "Nightshades". They were supposedly a group of secret, elusive warriors like we ninja, but there was a stark difference.
These warriors would make pacts with evil dark spirits in exchange for power. The spirits would grant it to them, and then during a crucial time, betray the person and steal their soul and body. The spirit would then use their ill-gotten physical form to trick others into joining their dark ways. I never believed these bedtime stories, considering them to just be tales to scare the weak-minded from the ways of the Shadows. Kusho stated that the Kinkou of long-past days were forced to eliminate this group of dark warriors to preserve the balance, and that they would never rise again.
He was wrong. Not even Kusho himself believed that Nightshades really existed, and that their ways are far darker than even my order of ninjas could be. But they do exist, and they are starting to show themselves. My first taste of their corporeality came during a search for evidence on the Golden Demon.
I had just come across what I assumed to be one of Khada Jhin's 'victims', and was searching them and the area around for clues. I recognized them as an important figure in the Kashuri Armories. Then as I saw blood drop from the victim's wounds, it was of a blackened hue, and was malleable like clay, and bubbled like it was boiling hot, even though when I touched it, it was as cold as ice. I recalled it as a trademark of victims of Nightshade attacks, but I dismissed it as simply the effect of time on the body's natural fluids combined with the magic of that murderer's weaponry. Then, an acolyte of mine brings a weapon to me. It was no doubt the sword that the victim used to defend himself, to no avail. The same substance was dripping from it, and it wilted the flowers beneath it as it fell off the blade and to the ground. With two items of proof, I could not internally deny the possibility of a connection. Then, a third and more sudden proof made itself apparent. The body began to convulse, and I and my acolytes quickly retreated as it exploded violently, spraying the forest meadow around it with that black substance, quickly draining its beauty with its deathly decay. The body itself was gone, with no trace that it had ever been there to begin with.
I looked at the spray of this disgusting spectacle, and although my students did not notice it, I saw a connection. The way the fluids fell, formed a message in the ancient Ionian language:
"Ninjas are not the only ones who can use the shadows; Nor are masked murderers the only ones who can create art."
The message, and the substance it was composed of, faded away, leaving only the decayed foliage around it as the reminder that it had even existed.
A second encounter was when a group of my students were attacked by an unknown figure. Shrouded in black, this person wielded a blade that seemed to 'bleed' a black substance, so they reported. I arrived, and found the bodies of my students who had not survived were bleeding that same black substance. They exploded in a manner similar to the first victim I saw, and they formed another message:
"Not in even the darkest shadows, can the ninjas hide; Nightshades devour those who intrude on their domain. For the Nightshades remember, and will repay the wrongs."
I cannot bring this information to Shen. I already detest having to work with him to try and stop that murderer; this would only make things even worse. The only ones who can stop shadowy fighters like these Nightshades are those who also fights in the shadows.
Quotes
Selection The Nightshades Rise.
Movement Not a trace. Become the shadow. Ninja? No, I am a Nightshade. The pact sustains me. Corrupt and vanish. My other half awaits you... Darkness is my shroud, and my sword. Nightshades don't 'exist'... Do not mistake me for those masked shams. Only WE know the true power of the shadows! I am only the first of many... How does darkness 'feel'? It feels good. Time to awaken Ionia in darkness... Ionia... will be ours. The ninjas will be repaid. Kinkou, Order of Shadows, they all will die.
Attacking Decay from our blood. My 'friend' wants to meet you. Oblige me, and disappear. Appeal for your life, I dare you. I return you to darkness. Back to the black from whence you came. Do not fear. Darkness welcomes all... Time to corrupt you. Let's play with our prey. It enlivens me so to see you scared. Ninjas strike. Nightshades devour! My 'other half' will love to see you. We will repay in kind! Cruelty for Cruelty!
Using Shadowcleave Slash! Devour! Assault!
Using Corruption Slice How will it feel? Taste my power. A gift from my 'other half'.
Using Blacksink Halt! Not another move. Blink and you'll miss me.
Using Consummate Ruination (Corrupted Voice) MY TURN! Corrupted Scream (Corrupted Voice) APPEASE ME!
Joke Milludea's 'other half' pops up behind Milludea and puts its 'hands' over her eyes. Milludea thrashes about, trying to get free, but the creature holds on, and Milludea gives up. The creature laughs and then vanishes.
Taunt Milludea stabs her sword into the ground, and the area around her temporarily decays as a pool of the black substance forms around her. Her 'other half' pops up out of the center of it and roars in the direction she is facing. She crosses her arms in a confident manner, and then pulls her weapon out of the ground, with the substance quickly fading away and the creature vanishes. Time for our return. The Nightshades will not be denied. We have resurfaced, to retake what is rightfully ours.
Taunting near an Enemy Shen Your nightmares have only just begun. Prepare to join your father in the darkness. You only delayed the deaths of the remainder of your order.
Taunting near an Enemy Zed Pretender. You know not the true power of the shadows. A pale imitation of what a Nightshade initiate can do. (Mocking Tone) Your 'knowledge' of the shadows amuses me so.
Taunting near an Enemy Akali A shroud as poor as that shouldn't fool anyone. A user of Twin Disciplines, and a master of neither. You make me laugh, Akali.
Taunting near an Enemy Kennen I see nothing of interest with you, begone. (Laughs) They must be desperate to have trained one of your kind! Afraid, little Yordle? You are right to be.
Dance Milludea's 'other half' appears, and the two come together and start to dance a typical classic Waltz-type of dance.
Death Milludea falls to her knees, breathing heavily. She then falls to her side and becomes motionless. Her 'other half' circles around her, and then creates a pool of the liquid-like darkness which her body sinks into and disappears. My turn... to fade... (Heavy Breathing, then silence) I'll... see you again...
Character Relations
Nightshades: The Nightshades have been hiding in the darkness (Think something similar to HYDRA from Captain America: The Winter Soldier) of Ionia for hundreds of years, biding their time and increasing their strength to repay the Kinkou order of Ninjas (And Zed's Order of Shadows) for their near-destruction in the past. Milludea is their strongest member and therefore the "poster-child" of the group.
Zed: Milludea detests Zed, thinking his Order of Shadows is an affront to the Nightshades and that his powers are just a pale imitation of what the Nightshades can do.
Shen: Being the new "Eye of Twilight", he represents the group that nearly destroyed the Nightshades of the past. Now that they have gained sufficient strength, Milludea and the other Nightshades plan to destroy what remains of the order of Kinkou ninjas.
Akali: Because she is a member of the Kinkou Order, she is an enemy of Milludea, same as Shen and Zed.
Kennen: She thinks that Kennen is laughable, and that the Kinkou Order must surely be on its last legs if it now trains Yordles as ninja.
