Something A friend asked me to Post
So a friend of mine learned that on my spare time I write up lore friendly characters in the Valoran world. She then asked me to post the one she liked the most. to save my ears I gave in and am now sharing her favorite.
Sudo, the False Man Fighter, Assassin
Lore: They say, many centuries ago an Ionian sorcerer lived in the old forests of the land. There he brought life to the forest to protect himself and the forests he called home. Years later in the present day, the Ionian / Noxus war began, and as Noxian forces travelled the forests to cover their assault, they were set upon masked warriors armed with nothing but wood weaponry. The Noxian forces fled the forest, never to return to the canopy where the warriors would wait in silence. Intrigued by the tales the Noxian reports spun, Ionian scholars from the Institute of War decided to investigate the hidden warriors.
The started out at dawn into the dense thicket and searched all day for any trace but found only endless trees. When evening settled and night rose they struck a camp and begun to make a fire. When one of the scholars took an ax to a tree for firewood, one warrior attacked, striking the ax from his hands and knocking him back, away from the tree he went to cut. The scholars raised their weapons to defend themselves but the warrior stood there, silent. One scholar discarded his weapon and approached, the figure only stared at him through the faceless mask. When at last he was close enough to touch, the figure removed its mask and revealed, to the scholar’s horror, its face.
Only there was no face, only the plain surface of a barked tree. The figure bent over and picked up a twig and began to tell its tale in the dirt. That it was named Sudo, as was all his brethren and that they were created to defend this forest from all who would harm its occupants. Sudo asked with intricate designs if there was a way to protect the Sudo from others. The Scholar suggested the Institute of War, a place with peace in mind. Sudo vanished into the trees only to appear once more at dawn with more of its kin. They asked to be brought before the Institute of War that they may seek the assistance of the Summoners there to further protect their home.
Appearance: They are dressed in black garb similar to Kendo uniforms, tied up in ropey vines, they wear masks made out of white stone with eyeholes carved into it. Sudo also carries two wooden tonfas. They are tall, thin and do not speak a word, but are well versed in Ionian script.
(Q) Parry Blow: Sudo gains an aura, increasing armor for a duration, when it is struck by a champion basic attack it parries the attack, dealing phy damage and slowing them.
(W) Blind Sweep: Sudo sweeps its tonfa in an arc in front of it. Dealing phy damage and blinding enemies hit
(E) Discombobulate: Sudo Strikes a single target with its tonfa, dealing phy dmg and stunning them if they are facing away from it.
(R) Sudo Rush: Sudo calls for assistance, and other Sudo appear that deal no damage, but cause on hit effects (slows, stuns, snares etc.) with a 45% chance of success. Sudo vanishes during this duration and deals true damage to the first foe it hits.
(Passive) Silent Watcher: When Sudo is not attacking in the jungle, it is invisible to all foes until it strikes (5 second delay after an attack or being attacked)
