[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Rork, Zaun's Bounty Hunter
Rork is an aggressive, physical damage Mage/Marksman with tons of tools at his disposal, having the most abilities in the game, although each is fairly simple and has limited use. Being able to perform in Middle Lane, Bottom Lane as the ADC, Jungle, or even Top Lane, he is extremely versatile. However, if you catch him with the wrong tools at the wrong time, you can punish him dearly. Fighting against him with two champions with different play styles will force him into a bad position no matter what. Expect Rork to always be firing something your way or even diving in himself.
LORE Rork, a being of pure creativity, is a bounty hunter and inventor from Zaun who stops at nothing to get his targets. He has done everything he can to make himself the perfect predator and creature of stealth. His story is one of loss and gain, but mainly just bringing in a whole lot of money. He is well known throughout Runeterra and is hired by even the most skilled of killers. This is entirely dependent on if they can find him however. When Rork was just a kid, his parents were killed by the hunter known as Warwick when he used them as experiments for his own friend, Singed. Rork grew up on the streets of Zaun and joined an infamous gang, gaining his mark among the gang as XVI. He was only twelve at the time and didn't know how to survive at all by himself, so he relied on the older members of the group to show him around, namely the member known as Ekko. Whenever Rork made a mistake, it would be seemingly fixed out of no where by Ekko as if he knew what was going to happen. As Rork continued to grow, he figured out what not to do and what to do through learning from his elders. Eventually, he was able to "earn" enough money to "buy" his own home, although his methods were questioned by other members of the gang. From there, Rork used his smarts and street experience to craft vicious weapons to defend his friends. However, it seems no matter what, his weapons could never match the enhanced fighters of Zaun when things got rough. Eventually, Rork was forced to go to extremes. He embarked on a successful mission to steal various potions and elixirs from the very friend of his parent's killer, Singed. After months of experimenting, he was able to make just the potion he needed. After gathering the various ingredients from across Runeterra, he was able to create a mutation potion that would transform himself into the unseen killer of the skies: a hawk. When he told the rest of the gang of his elixir, Ekko didn't like the idea at all and told him that he was embracing the reason Zaun was known for what it was. Rork told him he would use it for good and not for bad. Not for evil, but for the good of the gang, his family. He drank the elixir and, after a night of painful agony, transformed into an avian creature, gaining the ability of flight, razor sharp eyesight, incredible reaction time, and a steel grip. He retained a few human features, such as fingers, but they were more of "flexible wing ends". This allowed him to still make use of his past weapons. While Rork accepts work from anyone he finds just, he is known for his work for the gang. Rork, along with the rest of his gang, are on their way of cleaning the city of Zaun, one villain at a time, but now with some air advantage.

RELATIONSHIPS
ALLIES
Ekko Rork and Ekko grew up together as part of the same gang. They are practically family and would always have each other's back in a tough situation. Even though Ekko has lost some respect for Rork since he used some of Singed's creations to become what he is, they are still best friends.
Zac As someone who is also looking to protect the streets of Zaun, Zac and Rork often meet if one of Rork's jobs is placed in Zaun. They think of each other as the same side of a coin and work together whenever available.
ENEMIES
Warwick As the killer of Rork's parents, Rork would like nothing more than to kick Warwick into an acidic pool. There isn't any other reason needed for Rork to despise Warwick really. He killed his parents.
Singed Warwick's partner in crime, Singed is also on Rork's hit list. Despite using some of Singed's own stuff to transform into the bird of prey he is today, Rork still hates him and considers him to be partially responsible for the death of his parents.
Viktor Rork has been trying to get rid of this guy for ages, but he keeps getting by him. With the amount of bounty on Viktor's head, Rork wants this guy dead, for his own sake, his gang's sake, and Zaun's sake.
Thanks for reading that GINORMOUS WALL OF TEXT! I worked a long time on this guy and would really appreciate some feedback on this guy if you could leave it. I am actively working to improve this guy and make him better and better. Expect quotes, a character portrait, and eventually ability icons for all of his abilities and weapons, the latter probably coming last for obvious reasons. If anyone wants to contribute to Rork at all, comment down below. Again, thanks for reading and I hoped you enjoyed my concept! Vote your opinion on Rork below if you can as well!
