Long ago, a fisherman ventured to the fabled Blessed Isles in hopes of catching the most elusive "Blessed Whale." He hoped to offer the whale as an engagement gift to win the heart of his beloved. However, Hokusai just so happen to have chosen the worst day to travel to the Blessed Isles. A fleet of luxurious ships hauled passed his fishing boat, nearly destroying it as they traveled, with untold speed, to the Blessed Isles, just over the horizon.

Paying them no mind, he quickly began to cast his line into the sea. Hours went by, but instead of setting, the sun seemed to simply vanish behind dark clouds that were rolling from the Isles. Just as the sky turned black a huge strain fell upon his line, nearly capsizing his boat. He managed to steady the boat and with the strength of his love, over the next grueling hour, he wretched the creature from the deep.

To his dismay, this was no ordinary whale, it was rotten, but it was still moving and as he pulled it to the surface, unearthly fumes began to bellow from every pour of the creature. The Black Mist filled Hokusai's lungs, burning his skin and melting his mind. Though one thing still fuels his soul, the love of his life waiting for his engagement gift.

For countless ages, this undead fisherman has patrolled the waters of the Shadow Isles, in a vain attempt to catch the Blessed Whale and return with it to his love.

Ranged - A ghostly harpoon. Support/Fighter

Passive - Ever Searching Haul: Periodically, ripples can be seen, mostly in water, but not exclusively. Hokusai can click on these ripples, where he will walk up to them, stop and cast a line into it, after a few seconds a prompt will appear, clicking again at the right time will either catch a Shadow or a Blessing.

A Shadow Haul will cause Hokusai to emit Black Mist when he gets hit, for several seconds, based on how many shadows he has captured, dealing X% Hokusai's max health in magic damage to all near by enemies.

A rare Blessed Haul will instantly heal Hokusai for X% his max health and cause him to emit an aura which will heal near by allies for a small % of Hokusai's max health.

Q - Set the Hook - Passive: Hokusai's third basic attack has a tether on it that slightly pulls enemy units towards him. Enemies who can not be pulled are dealt bonus physical damage instead.

Active: Hokusai stops and spins a fishing line in a small area around him before throwing it in a target direction. An enemy hit by the line are dealt X plus X% Hokusai's ad in physical damage and are briefly rooted and then slowly pulled towards Hokusai, they can still attack and activate non-movement based abilities, while on his line. If the hooked target deals enough damage to Hokusai, while hooked, the line will break.

W - Fisher's Net: Hokusai throws a net, rooting all enemies in a cone in a target direction and then pulling them to Hokusai.

E - Heart's Sake: Hokusai can cast this on an ally. That ally gains bonus health regen from "Blessed Haul" and Hokusai gains bonus movement speed while traveling towards that ally. That ally also emits the Black Mist when they take damage, as long as Hokusai has "Shadow Haul."

This effect will remain active as long as Hokusai remains close enough to the target ally or recasts the ability on another ally.

R - The Accursed Whale: Hokusai cast his line at a distant target area. A fin appears from Hokusai and it travels to the line, then it pulls Hokusai forwards, dealing X% his max health in true damage and knocking away all enemies in his path as he stops where he targeted. After, the fin circles Hokusai for several seconds, dealing minor true damage to enemies in melee range to Hokusai.
