[October CCC] Braxxa, the Darkin Bulwark
Braxxa, the Darkin Bulwark
Role: Tank/Support
Background Idea: I credit the inspiration for this character to dialMARK4acti0n and his thread on Darkin lore located here: http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/story-art/EookJA38-the-darkin-facts-myths-and-theories . I loved the idea/theory that the Darkin are actually Sentient Weapons that corrupt and possess their wielders, almost like a parasite.
Lore
"How long has it been since I have been in the hands of one worthy of me?
Is this what the mortals refer to as "Irony," I wonder?
This longing I feel, is alien to me. For the entirety of my existence, I have passed from mighty tyrant to bloodthirsty warrior granting them their every wish at the expense of all companionship and joyfulness until just a hallow shell remained.
But, this... this solitude... this LONELINESS... Is it possible that I too have become a victim to my own curse, and suffer at the abandonment of an eternity alone? Have I foolishly become victim to my own power?
NO! What would my brethren say, should any still exist, should they learn that I have fallen to my own curse? I cannot fall to the anguish of a lack of companionship of those wielding be in battle? This weakness must be a symptom of my isolation from the clutch of civilization. I must find a way out of this ancient ruin!"
-2000 Years later-
"Look Ormos, I have found something!
What is it this time, Theon? More of your worthless baubles and trinkets?
No, this might actually be a real treasure, it looks like some kind of old shield! Wow! This thing is heavy! I wonder what it is made of, I have never seen a metal in this shade of crimson before!
Finally! A mortal has found me in this pit! Now, I shall make my return to the world of mortals and begin my subjugation of those who would wield me. Come "Theon" we make way for the world of men!
...Oh, there is another here as well? Well, I guess we can't have a witness trying to warn those we seek to conquer, can we "Theon?"
Theon? What do you mean, who are you speaking to? You should put that thing down, I'm scared, and something doesn't look right about it. NO, THEON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!??!?!
Personality: Similar to his "brother" Aatrox, Braxxa is a sinister being, bent on corrupting as many mortals as possible with the feeling of Loneliness and Abandonment. While at one point, he was honorable about who he inflicted with the curse of desolation, a millenia alone, suffering from his own curses, has nearly driven him mad.
Appearance: Ideally the shield-bearer would match the color scheme of Aatrox, with a lot of Black, Purple and Red, but will resemble a young male similar with a heavily corrupted look similar in appearance to Varus. The Shield would be the main focal point, with large glowing panels and spikes and other decals spread over its face.
Skills
Passive: Eternal Bulwark - Braxxa gains 1/2/3/4 (1/6/11/16) additional health for each point of bonus Armor of Magic Resistance
Probably not the most flashy of passives, compared to some. But outside of inventing some new alternative resource system, It is the best I could think of. Also, makes up for the fact that all of Braxxa's skill cost HP.
Q - Smite the Unworthy - Braxxa's shield-bearer throws his shield towards his enemies, stunning the first victim struck, and dealing damage to those around the target. If no enemy is struck the sheild lodges into the ground, and deals damage around the impact location. The shield-bearer can walk over Braxxa and reduce the cooldown of Smite the Unworthy by a short amount.
Throws a shield in the targeted direction, and dealing (50/75/100/125/150 (+100% Bonus Armor)) to the first enemy struck stunning it for 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 seconds. If the Shield reaches maximum range without striking a target, it deals 50% of the damage to all enemies in the area and imbeds itself in the ground. Walking over the shield lowers the remaining cooldown of Smite the Unworthy by 5 seconds.
Range: 1000 Cost: 10% of Maximum Health Cooldown: 20/19/18/17/16 seconds
A basic skillshot/stun that scales off of bonus Armor. I have it scale with Armor because it is the shield being throw that deals damage. Has a similar interaction with Olaf's Undertow for picking up a missed throw to reduce the cooldown by a short amount.
W: Lonesome Barrier
Braxxa slams the ground and causes a large wall of impassible terrain to erupt from the ground infront of him. Enemies ontop of the path of the eruption are knocked aside and stunned for a short time. The wall persists for a short time before crumbling back to normal.
A long line of terrain erupts forward from Braxxa dealing (75/115/155/195/235 (+75% Ability Power)) to all enemies ontop of the erupting area, knocking aside and stunning them for .5 seconds. The terrain will persist for 4 seconds until crumbling back into the ground.
Range: 800 Cost: 5% of Maximum Health Cooldown: 16 seconds
A medium range line nuke that creates a barrier of terrain in its wake, potentially cutting off an enemy from their allies, triggering the passive from his E.
E: Abandonment
Braxxa's attacks and abilities that hit lone targets cause him to regenerate health. In addition, he can curse his enemies with the fear of being cut off from their allies, causing them to wander aimlessly for several seconds, before succumbing to their fears.
Passive: Braxxa's basic attacks and skills against targets isolated from their allies heal him for 1/1.5/2/2.5/3% of his maximum health over 6 seconds. This effect stacks up to 3 times.
Active: Braxxa reduces the sight radius of target enemy champion and removes allied vision for 3 seconds. If the target doesnt move within 500 range of an allied champion or minion before the duration ends, the target takes (25/65/105/145/185 (+.60% Ability Power)) and is overcome by fear and flees in terror for 2 seconds.
Range: 800 Cost: 5% of Maximum Health Cooldown: 20 seconds
A combination sustain and cc/peel skill which if used right can take an out of position enemy out of the fight for several seconds.
R: Eternity Link
Braxxa's resistances are increased. In addition, Braxxa can link himself with all nearby allied champions increasing their Armor and Magic Resistance and evenly distributes all damage between the linked allies.
Passive: Braxxa gains 15/30/45 Bonus Armor and Magic Resistance.
Active: Braxxa links himself with nearby allied champions, increasing their Armor and Magic Resistance by 50/85/120 and evenly distributes all damage suffered by a linked ally to all those they are linked with for 6 seconds. If a linked member moves more than 750 range away from Braxxa, the link to them is broken.
Range: 750 Cost: 15% of Maximum Health Cooldown: 120/100/80 seconds
A sort of reverse of Morgana's Ultimate, that links together Braxxa's team mates, and evenly spreads all damage dealt to those linked between everyone, preventing a full burst in teamfights.
