Ultimate Skin for Lucian - Senna

What do you think of this idea?

Every ultimate skin has a story behind it, and this story is what you could imagine it to be: when Thresh fought Lucian and Senna, Lucian was the one to die, perhaps he knocked Senna out of the way and instead lost his soul to Thresh's lantern.

The new quotes would give us insight into who Senna was, because while she may not be the Senna that died for Lucian and who was indirectly responsible for who Lucian is now, she could have just as easily become this Senna. And in the vein of preserving who that Senna was, this Senna of a parallel path may be her own character.

Since every Legendary skin has it's own unique thing going on (Udyr has the animal spirits interacting with everything he does as Spirit Guard, Sona has different music going on for whatever fits her vibe as a DJ, and Ezreal has an AI that speaks as well as evolving appearance) I figured for Senna, she would get access to more quotes as times goes on throughout the match that might grow progressively darker, to the point where she is as cold, cynical, and merciless as Lucian, and resembles - personality-wise - little of what she started as.

And that might make us all get a glimpse into who Lucian might have been before losing Senna, since for the majority of us, the serious and sardonic Lucian is all we really know.

What do you think?

Overall a really nice idea,but I doubt it will happen,I remember a rioter talking about how they want to keep the characters even in skins,so that no matter skin you pick for your champ,its still the same person.

I also think that Sennas change would need to be a different,because all ultimate skins have several models(ezreal and udyr have evolving models,sona can change between them) and I think that Senna might even go a bit darker than lucian(because lucian was originally a very kind man,while senna was described as "dedicated to the cause",implying that she had already a slightly "darker" personality than lucian),I mean where'd be the big change if it basically changed to a female lucian?

Senna starts with her gun, long hair, and heels at level 1 with cheery quotes and a flowing ornate coat. She has a visible earpiece that she talks to Lucian with, and he has some VO as well where they are talking back and forth about how much they care for each other and they are doing good work. At level 6 the first time she backs she does an animation where she cuts her hair short and pulls it back, takes off the flowing coat (To show a white short sleeved shirt) and cuts off the heels to be more agile. The dialogue between Senna and Lucian is less of them talking to each other personally and more of them commenting on their fighting. At level 11 you hear a cutting noise and she screams, revealing a scar vertically down her face. Her white shirt gets a decorative pattern from the blood. Her quotes begin to darken, and Lucian replies to some of her dark quotes with something to lighten her mood, which she can ignore/brush off/snap at. They start talking about quitting while they still can. At level 16 on Senna's next back Lucian screams and tells Senna he's been hit and is dying. She begs him to stay with her and he says goodbye. At this point a quick scene where Lucian comes from off the rift and dies in the fountain happens. Lucian's soul appears from his body and a Thresh lantern is thrown over it, Thresh's laugh plays globally and Lucian's soul is absorbed. Senna cries and picks up Lucian's gun and maybe his bloodstained coat, which will obviously fit differently/look different on her than on base skin Lucian. She takes her headset off and throws it away. Her quotes are now a mirror of Lucian's.

Enough evolution? EDIT- Maybe the short sleeve shirt could have a pretty pattern on it, then when she gets cut the pattern becomes red from the blood and some eerie blood drips can trail off of it

You asked what I thought, but the irony is that after reading your post I couldn't think. It's dark, it's strange, but still elegant in concept, and eloquent in wording. I think now that I've had some space that it might be a bit much to handle in one skin. It needs its own story, but then it also needs a justification for bringing Senna back to life. (So to speak.) Senna's absence is a critical part of who Lucian is...

I'm just going to back away slowly and insist I don't have an opinion.

Shadow Isles Lucian.

Lucian died but his resolve persisted becoming an entity similar to Kalista, fueled by the desire to end Thresh even in the afterlife.

I can't draw but visually I can imagine him in a Shadow Isles version of his clothing but instead of the ghastly green he has more of an opaque white, or Ivory tone. His quotes Referancing his previous skins, most notably his base.His guns would be more solid than him, but instead when he uses his abilitied it makes a more wispy effect and a hollow angelic tone. For his ult I am thinking like when Vash from Trigun uses his angel cannon, where both his arms turn into purest light and make holy sounding sounds on impact.

OMG my first thought after seeing Seena is John Cena. I'm definitely poisoned by memes

I think you need to re-evaluate your priorities, my good friend.

cool. ...

Seems cool but the only problem would be clarity. People who are new to the game will most likely get confused and think its a complete different champ.

This needs to be the next ultimate skin. It MUST be.

How about no? Sure it's a nice idea and all, but I would greatly prefer to actually have Senna as a champion? In the Harrowing a few months ago, Riot confirmed that Senna was still technically alive because Thresh only took her soul, the possibility to bring her back is there, especially if Lucian is ever able to defeat Thresh. It was all in the weird Harrowing story that got mixed up into Bilgewater and Gangplank

That would be a bigger change in lore and visuals than a Sion with GP as his axe. I doubt it'll happen, but cool concept nonetheless.

I think this is a great concept, but I don't see much of a reason for the dialogue to change too drastically. I always wondered what it would be like if things happened differently for those two.

There's only one problem with that skin: Riot said they'll never do skins that change gender of a character.

Here's to hoping that that policy isn't too set in stone.

Maybe instead of Senna, use Lucians transition to what he is now.

Ultimate skin for lucian- White lucian, but i think hired gun takes care of that. each point into his ult makes him more whiter.

I know Bioluminescence commented on a Senna Lucian skin in her Q+A awhile ago.

Or make Senna a champ

well I for one think it would be an amazing idea!

This could easily be a legendary skin if no transforming was involved. Maybe just a Senna pre-Thresh sorta thing. I feel like it'd be a gender-swap almost, but I feel like Lucian's the only exception of this type of thing working.

Perhaps Lucian's ultimate skin could represent what happens if he sets Senna's spirit free from Thresh' lantern? Lucian now has Senna's spirit by his side and they interact in their VO. When Lucian uses his abilities, Senna appears to aid his aim.
