[Champion Concept] Arieth, the Soul Wielder
[Lore] Arieth is a heroic Soulmancer from another dimension, who was transported to Runeterra through a portal. Trapped in a extraneous world, he is seeking the only thing with enough power to bring him home: a World Rune. Armed with Ethereal, his soul sword, and followed by his faithful partner, Thyla the Wisp, Arieth's quest has only just began.
Friends: Lux (met her in one of his trips, they shared a long conversation about magic. They stay in touch by a magic messagery spell Arieth taught her). Rivals: Ryze (snatched a World Rune from Arieth just when he got it, and defeated him on a magic duel). Yasuo (was challenged by Arieth to a duel and was defeated, surprised by Arieth's Soulbreak).
[Gameplay] Class: Battle Mage (Hybrid Juggernaut) Arieth is a unique champion. He is a low mobility melee Battle Mage/Juggernaut hybrid, with longer range abilities for a melee champion, but has to get in melee range to get his full effectiveness. Also, he has various tools at his disposal that empower his team's magic damage dealers, enabling the otherwise non-existant magic-heavy comps. In addition, the second part of Arieth's E enables him to break any shield an enemy possesses. His weaknesses include his limited mobility, and mediocre durability for a melee damage dealer.
