[Champion Concept] Nina, the eldritch Vessel
[Concepts I've reviewed for entry] Jorah, the Arc of Solas 💯% authentic, true gold metal and first ever given by Moron, ”TEN OUTTA TEN” Grace, The haunted maligner 4.5, but I still like the character! I'm being sincere.
Champion concept version 1.6 Nina, The Eldritch vessel
1.6 update! *W is changed to be all single casted for maximum smoothness and limit the double casts (more info in the ability) *Tooltips were added to summarize abilities *probably gonna make a one off comic dedicated to fleshing out Nina as a character :U.
(All art used for this was all drawn by me and my Wacom :U)

[Intro] Ayyyy! Waddup! Its your friendly neighborhood Moron here with his 2nd champion concept! I came here with the intent of making a void themed human assassin character! Formerly utilizing portals, now a skirmisher utilizing a void monster as a pal! This champ here took all of my free time to make. (Also for clarification, Nina is not a transformation champ, she’s more similar to Kled or Kindred)
Concept (TLDR of research doc): Nina was a child who became a part of a Zaunite experiment regarding the void, in an attempt to create what is known as the “Void Fused”, Superhuman powered by a miniature void portal on them, thought to be dead and a failed attempt, the Zaunites disposed of Nina. soon, a Voidborn discharged energy into Nina to revive her.
Ka’ma, outside, appearing outside as a comforting father figure, Ka’ma is secretly a parasitic entity hungering for control over Nina, granting her strength to fight opponents for her, making her a stronger vessel to be an extension of his will.
With staff in hand, and void empowerment in hand
[GAMEPLAY]
Aims: Ka’ma and Nina is intended to be a skirmisher or assassin (mainly skirmisher) who utilizes how I'd word it “an angry thrashing monster that makes you really frigging strong”. In game, Nina and Ka’ma should feel like they work together to achieve their (or mainly Ka’ma’s) goals, while you manage a “hunger bar” which when filled gives you immense dive potential, along with their ult to help you as a skirmisher be put in a position to wreck the team!
Also NOTE: I have never used assassin numbers soooo….. Yeah…
Main bar: health Secondary bar: Hunger
Stats: Health 575 (80 per level) Health regen 5 (.5 per level) Range: 175 Attack damage 65 (3 per level) Attack speed .63 (3% per level) Armor 26 (4 per level) Magic resist 32 (1 per level) Movement speed 340
(Also I'm not the best at making ability icons >~<
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358824487283720193/Passive_Icon.png PASSIVE: eldritch vessel Nina has a resource bar called “Hunger” which goes up to 100, which starts at 0 and refills by 3 each second for each enemy champion that is within 1000 units of Nina, as Ka’ma begins to grow more hunger for power
if Hunger reaches 100, Ka’ma will be ready to be unleashed, when Nina enters 500 units of a visible enemy champion, Ka’ma will then lash out of Nina’s shoulder as their hunger rapidly drains (35 per second) until Ka’ma reaches 0, in which Ka’ma will return back inside Nina, becoming contained
Quench: Ka’ma sways Nina to her enemies, Killing enemy units removes 15 Hunger, satisfying Ka’ma.
Unleashed:
Base Movement speed lowered to 250, but increased to 350 when moving towards enemy champions, or within 400 units of a Void Thrashed enemy champion
Targeting enemy champions with auto attacks who aren't Void Thrashed within 550 units will cause Kama to Leap into them applying Void Thrashed onto them; only one enemy can be marked with Void Thrash at a time. (succeeding leaps after the first will have 200 range, until Ka’ma kills an enemy champion)
Void Thrashed enemy champion within 300 units of Ka’ma will cause Ka'ma to thrash and Bludgeon them with their tendrils for 20-150% AD + 25-125 physical damage each second as a DOT (3 ticks per second)
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/353183026621972480/358862210254241792/Passive.gif
Notes: peps kept complaining that Ka’ma wasn't fast enough, so I bumped up the dash range :U, also regarding concerns with hunger growth being useless seeing your spells grant enough hunger, not really in my eyes, Seeing how UNLEASHED effect works, casting spells can also be used to maintain Ka’ma seeing being UNLEASHED isn't on a set duration, but rather a drain time, letting hunger build up a bit and using 1-2 spells can let you have extra spells to prolong the duration of Ka’ma by a second or 2, it's a trade off, use spells to build hunger, or use spells to maintain hunger
Visuals: When Ka’ma is unleashed, Nina’s teeth shoulder beartrap thingy opens, as Tendrils begin flailing out, before thrashing towards enemy champions, moving away from enemy champions, Nina is shown to be trying to move away as Ka’ma is really trying to pull her towards towards food, Moving towards enemy champions Nina and Ka’ma run in unison, going super frigging fast. Once an enemy is void thrashed, Ka’ma begins repeatedly flailing its tendrils at them. When Nina auto attacks, she still hits them with her staff :U
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358824486193070082/Q_Icon.png Q: Tendril Lash (Gain 20/25/30/35/40 Hunger on cast) (CDR: 9/8/7/6/5) Active: Ka’ Ma lashes out in a target direction twice over 0.5 seconds, dealing physical damage with each lash. After a 0.5 second delay, Ka’ Ma lashes a third time dealing double damage on the third strike.
(Total of 1 second to land all three hits, first .5 seconds to land both hits, the last .5 seconds for the last hit)
You may move freely while casting this.
Damage per hit: 25/35/45/55/65% Bonus AD + 30/40/50/60/70 Range (500 units) Type: Line skillshot/AOE
Notes: should be main damaging ability, maxed first, while in lane, this ability really entices people to wanna use it sparingly seeing you don't wanna turn into Ka’ma when an enemy ganks. Also imagine the following sound your head… “whip whip PIERCE”. Aiming to make this ability give you more time in Kama, at least extending the Kama duration by a second or 2, skillshot is similar to Yasuo Q, but twice as long. also note, the base damage is low and scales slowly because landing all three hits quadruples that damage :U
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046252298534914/357302752860438529/Q.gif
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358824486767951873/W_Icon.png W: Daze On cast, Nina twirls her staff, hitting all nearby enemies in a radius, after .5 seconds, she lunges foward and sweeps her staff downwards as a line skillshot, stunning enemies who are hit by both instances of damage.
(During the .5 second delay, Nina can freely move, but her spin and sweep are not)
Damage (both procs): 40% AD + 50/70/90/110/130 Stun duration: .5 seconds + .1/.2/.3/.4/.5 seconds Range: 300 units (second cast is the same range and 75 units thick) Type: AOE/Debuff (lasts 1.5 seconds)
Notes: this ability took the longest to brainstorm, having many different directions. The theme that was aimed for was “an ability that didn't make Nina feel left out, something g to give her the spotlight” along with “Making Nina synergize with Ka’ma’s abilities. Here came Daze, a spin and whoosh! Here Nina gets a stun, so she’s able to line up all three hits of Tendril Lash, while the movement speed by Ka’ma helps Nina stay in range while she prepares the second cast of Daze, where of which Nina lunges forward a to stay in range for Ka’ma to keep thrashing them. https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358828523143823361/W_Better.gif
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358824487283720192/E_Icon.png E: Saving grace (18/16/14/12/10) (gain 40 Hunger)
First cast: Nina jumps upwards, suspending herself up in the air and is able to freely move over terrain and units for 1 second, as well as being able to dodge all non-targeted attacks while in mid air (auto attacks and single target abilities like Veigar Ult or Warwick Q she cannot dodge)
Second cast (or when knocked up by neutral or ally knockups): Ka’ma throws a tentacle out towards the target terrain, ally, or enemy unit, pulling Nina towards them. If the target is an enemy, Nina slams her staff down at the enemy’s head, dealing physical damage.
Damage: 80% AD + 30/60/90/120/150 Range: 400 Units Type: self buff, dash
Notes: did I mention Nina can use blast cone to cast Saving grace? Anywhosers I felt adding the “auto attack enemy champion” element changed the ability from “because mobility spell” to “Nina and Ka’ma using teamwork”, and as stated with blast cone, creative uses… Nina still takes damage from Yasuo ult tho
Visuals: Nina’s rift device overclock a, causing her to glow magenta as she leaps up in the air as she floats, then for the second cast, Ka’ma does their thing.
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046252298534914/357645715305922572/E_but_better.gif
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/322046292270252044/358824486193070080/Ult_Icon.png Ultimate: Creeping Terror (CDR 140/120/100) After 1.5 second of channeling without taking damage, Ka’ma extends its tendrils to massive length, before lifting up Nina to the air, and gaining massive movement speed (50/60/70%), along with the ability to move over terrain for 10 seconds, as Ka’ma crawls on the walls with its long tendrils, while becoming immune to crowd control (though being unable to attack or cast abilities). (Enemies near Ka’ma automatically gain vision of them)
Second Cast: Ka’ma catapults himself and Nina towards targeted location, after .5 second Ka’ma and Nina lands granting them cover by creating a path of smokescreen from void energy during the leap, preventing enemies outside the fog from seeing units, allied or not, inside the fog, vise versa (enemies inside can't see units outside), lasting 3 seconds. After the land, Nina reaches 100 hunger, immediately unleashing Ka’ma
Type: Self Buff Jump range: 600 Units Smokescreen Size: 600 units
Notes: what? An ultimate on a skirmisher that isn't damage?! Wow, what a surprise, this is the second iteration of this “teleport” ultimate for Nina, that's more thematically fitting for them, rather than “I teleport, and make some spooky smoke” it becomes “I CRAWL ON THE GODAHM WALLS WAAAA! And make spooky smoke” seeing Ka’ma as this weird octo spider spooky thing. I aim this ability to be a strong reason to pick Nina over other Skirmishers, is this huge positioning ult that grants Nina and Ka’ma massive roaming potential and a cutoff with smokescreen for a skirmisher, otherwise, I feel it be wise that a visual indicator similar to Sion ult where a global sound may be wise.
also dont worry! Someone drunk reviewd my ultimate and help me think of ways to make it better, no lies :U

[TOOL TIP]
PASSIVE: Eldritch Vessel Nina has a “hunger bar” which is Ka’ma’s thirst to kill, hunger builds up passively, when at 100 hunger and near an enemy champion, Ka’ma is unleashed, massively slowing Nina and causing her to gain massive movement speed towards enemy champions, Nina’s next attack causes her to dash onto the enemy champion, while Ka’ma repeatedly bludgeons them for damage
Q: Tendril Lash Ka’ma strikes three times in a line, dealing physical damage, the third hit dealing double damage
W: Daze Nina spins in a circle dealing damage to nearby enemies for physical damage, before lunging forward and slamming down dealing more damage and stunning enemies hit by both instances of this ability.
E: Saving Grace Nina leaps up in the air, rendering herself immune to all non targeted spells and skillshots, allowing her to freely move over the terrain for a short duration, recasting this ability on terrain or on ally/enemy units causes Ka’ma to lash out and pull Nina towards the location. Targeting enemy champions causes Nina to deal Physical damage to them.
Ultimate: Creeping Terror After a brief channel, Ka’ma unleashes himself as a large spider like monstrosity, picking up Nina and becoming immune to CC, along with being able to freely move over terrain for a short duration. Recasting this ability causes Ka’ma to catapult towards targeted location, leaving behind a smokescreen and bringing Nina’s hunger bar to 100

Short story:
Now that we have that out of the way…
[LINES]
Ka’ma voice: personality wise, comes off as someone actually really charming, and trustworthy, very much like someone who can be “everyone’s” dad (in fact, most of the time, he should sound completely human!), the twist being Ka’ma at times (mainly later in the game) slowly becomes more off putting, swaying Nina into doing some shady things in a fatherly tone. Nonetheless, lines should stand between the line of Obsession, sincerity, and manipulation. Ka’ma is simply playing along with Nina in an attempt to push her into being something he wants, a killer that acts as his will.
”I will protect you Nina, I will make sure no one ever touches you!”
”you need to learn to fight Nina! They'll hurt you!”
As for being unleashed, Ka’ma’s fatherly visage is broken, becoming something dark and twisted.
”Bring me to them Nina… it's time...”
”I'm hungry Nina… please don't make Ka’ma unhappy”
Nina’s voice: in contrast, Nina is optimistic (mainly because of the anime she watches), sociable, usually speaks with excitement and enthusiasm, she’s very much a big ball of energy!
”We can can win guys!”
As the game goes on, it becomes more obvious Nina is aware of Ka’ma nature, and is sometimes scared of him, in fact, Nina is simply playing along with Ka’ma seeing she’s not sure what’ll happen if she stands up against Ka’ma. Nonetheless, Nina still sees Ka’ma as still friend, even at times, she tries to lowkey sway Ka’ma into being something good, someone redeemable, She’s just not, confrontation about it, for obvious reasons.
Pick: Nina: Yay! Ka’ma: let’s win this! Together.
Ban: Ka’ma: Oh… I see. Nina: Don’t worry, We’ll be back!
Taunt: (animation: Ka’ma pops out of Nina’s shoulder) (Taunting for the first time) Nina: Ka’ma, do the thing! Ka’ma: mimics teemo voice, semi distorted Captain teemo! On duty! Nina: laughs
Ka’ma: hut 2 3 4! Nina: Laughs
(Added line when taunting in front of teemo) Nina: not in front of him Ka’ma! Giggles
(Regarding taunting other champions Ka’ma will say some of their other lines but distorted)
(Special taunt Rammus) Nina: Look! Ka’ma: In Rammus’ exact voice Okay.
(Enemy Kha’zix) Nina: hey mister! Your body is already beautifu- Ka’ma: let's try not to grab his attention Nina. Nina: why? Ka’ma: he’s sensitive!
(Ally Kha’zix) Nina: hey mister! your body is already beautiful the way it is! Be proud of it! Ka’ma: good job Nina! That’s so kind. Nina: hehe
Joke: Ka’ma sprouts out, and draws a “hopscotch” mat on the floor, before throwing a pebble on it, Nina hops to it
Dance: Nina: Chick chick! Gestures her fingers into guns (Pauses) https://youtu.be/PfIB7h7rsOw Nina: Pew pew pew pew!
Laugh: Normally, Nina and Ka’ma laugh normally, much like a father and daughter laugh
(Some cases) Nina: “Hehe” Ka’ma: “Teehee”
(Rare after several kills) Ka’ma: distorted uncanny artificial laugh Nina: h-huh? Ka’ma: something wrong hon?
Recall: (Animation, Ka’ma pops out and behinds creating a rift portal, Before Nina drops through it)
(No items) Nina: I-I forgot to buy something Ka’ma: it's okay! Let's just try to make it back in time!
(+80% HP, no gold) Nina: why are we leaving?
(+80%, 300+ gold) Ka’ma: let's go shopping!
(Less than 60%) Ka’ma: we've fought enough, let's take some rest
(Cancel teleport) Nina: I wanna stay a bit
Ka’ma: never mind
(Teleport cancelled by enemy) Nina: whimpers I just wanted to go back! Ka’ma: ill break you for doing that...
On start of the game (idle animation, Nina is sitting on the floor):
Nina: This place is pretty Ka’ma: It really is sweetheart!
Ka’ma: during a story he is the one who sees all, he learns all, and brings understanding of this world for our kin… Nina: So like, ”the eye guy” is a nerd? Ka’ma: yes! the eye guy IS a nerd. Nina: giggles
Nina: so like… he eats things, so his body gets better? Ka’ma: Yes, that is the voidreaver’s purpose, to become the strongest and the most adept in this world Nina: That sounds like an unhealthy view on life, why does he not appreciate his body the way it is? Ka’ma: What a wonderful idea! Maybe you should tell him that when we meet him.
Ka’ma: in the middle of story he eats worlds, that is his purpose... Nina: what makes the terror so different from the mouth? Ka’ma: one tries too hard(Cho’gath), the other is repulsive (Kog’maw). Nina: so they’re dorks? Ka’ma: yes! Exactly! Nina: Laughs dorks...
(After buying any starting item with a potion) Ka’ma: and thus- Nina: and I want this with a potion! Ka’ma: one of these with a potion please!
Nina: It's a knock knock joke Ka’ma, your supposed to answer Ka’ma: Who’s there? Nina: ack-.... Ka’ma: Hello Ack! Nina: eh… Nevermind. I forgot the joke.
Nina: So we're here! Ka’ma: Thank you so much, darling. Let's get to business!
Nina: Hello everyone! My name is Nina! And this is my friend Ka’ma! Say hello! Ka’ma: (Silence) Nina: Don’t worry, I guess he’s just being shy, but he looks cool though, you should see him some time!
Ka’ma: Nina, those people on the other side want to hurt you... Nina: What are we going to do? Ka’ma: Don’t worry, my darling. I would never let them hurt you. Nina: Thank you Ka’ Ma!
Buying items: Nina: Thank you mister!
Nina: Oh… I didn't think I could buy that! Thanks Ka’ma
Nina: this one is for my friend!
Ka’ma: This one, please.
Ka’ma: Excellent choice, dear.
Ka’ma: for you sweetheart!
Nina: I want that one! Ka’ma: Are you sure? Nina: Of course! Ka’ma: one for the girl!
(Boots) Nina: For me?! Ka’ma: yes, you really needed a new pair of shoes. Your other ones looked really uncomfortable. Nina: Thank you!
(Upgrade boots) Ka’ma: I have a gift for you! Nina: new shoes? But we already- Ka’ma: but these make you run faster! Nina: Cool!
(Buying Long Swords or Doran’s blade for the first time) Ka’ma: don’t worry, they’re not for the girl, they’re for me Nina: they’re for the bad guys. Ka’ma: yes! They’re for the “bad guys”.
(Edge of night) Ka’ma: the cloak of shadows, built to shield you from the dark magics Nina: what’s with the needles? Ka’ma: they make you look cool Nina: really?! Ka’ma: yeah! No one will stand in our way with this bad boy!
(Duskblade of Dracthar) Ka’ma: this one is a blade that becomes stronger in shadows, becomes stronger when you cannot see it Nina: a-arent all blades stronger when you can't see them? Ka’ma: you have a good point!
(Guardian angel) Ka’ma: aren't I your guardian angel? Nina: Oh! Uh… um… it's for you… Ka’ma: big ol Ka’ma doesn’t need a guardian! angel… though he can stab people with it. Nina: y-yeah… So you can s-stab people with it...
Walk: Nina: Hums a tune Ka’ma: finished the rest of the tune Nina: Excited Gasp! Ka’ma: It’s like we were meant for each other! Nina: Flustered
Ka’ma: this way Nina, this is where we need to go
(When turning) Nina: ohh! What's that? Ka’ma: Let’s go see, together!
Nina: this way? Ka'ma: I was thinking the same! (Pause) Nina: I like going this way…
(Enemy on a killing spree) Nina: I wanna stop them Ka’ma: but they're dangerous Nina Nina: b-but… they're not making me happy… Ka’ma: alright sweetie… next time I see them… I’ll make them go away
Taking Damage: Ka’ma: distorted angry tone DON’T TOUCH THE CHILD!
Nina: ack! Ka’ma: how dare you…
Ka’ma: DON’T DO THAT AGAIN!
Kill enemy champion: (For the first time) Nina: Shocked H-huh! Ka’ma: good job sweetheart! Keep up the good work! Nina: wh-what?
(Entering combat with an enemy champion after killing for the first time) Ka’ma: let's show them… Nina: uh... Ka’ma: something wrong? (Pause) Nina: n-nothing… nothing Ka’ma
(Killing a enemy champion a second time) Nina: I'm not sure- Ka’ma: sure of what? Nina: panic if we should... uh… uh… be... um… Ka’ma: it's okay sweetheart, they're our enemies… it was their choice to wanna hurt you… don't feel bad… they deserve it... Nina: unsure o-okay…
(Killing spree) Ka’ma: they just keep coming back now do they? Wanna see how many times we can keep this up? Nina: ... Ka’ma: its okay, its not like they’ll be dead permanently! Think of it like a game! Nina:... (Pause) Ka’ma: concerned tone Nina? Nina: y-yeah, yeah… l-lets kill them Ka’ma: that's the spirit Nina...
(Maintaining killing spree) Ka’ma: your getting better Nina! Fantastic! Nina: yeah, I guess. Ka’ma: be proud Nina! You’ll be a hero just like them! (Fill in the blank on what you think :U)
(Assist/if the enemy KSs you) Ka’ma: that was ours! Nina: its okay, just let them- Ka’ma: interrupts let them what? Nina: n-n-n- Ka’ma: its okay… I'm sorry for interrupting...
Spells: (Eldritch Vessel) (While hunger is at 100, Ka’ma speaks in a distorted voice)
Ka’ma: I'm hungry Nina, bring me to them...
Ka’ma: dont keep me waiting sweetheart
Ka’ma: I'm ready sweetie
Ka’ma: Don’t leave Ka’ma hungry Nina...

Nina: Please! No! Ka’ma: now! Now! NOW!
Ka’ma: Don’t turn back Nina! They're right there! They're right there!

Second cast: thrash Ka’ma: Hrrack!
Ka’ma: I got you Nina!
Ka’ma: don't worry!
(On enemy) Ka’ma: no leaving
Ka’ma: SCREEEE-
Ka’ma: Hit then now!
(Creeping Terror) Ka’ma: Twisted laughter I'm coming
Ka’ma: yes… yes
Nina: where are we going!? Ka’ma: where we need to be… Nina
(When low HP and casting ult) Ka’ma: I'll take you away, away to somewhere safe!
Ka’ma: hold on! My darling!
(Landing on ult) Ka’ma: were here!
Ka’ma: its time...
Ka’ma: Ready? Nina?
(When low on HP and away from enemies)
Ka’ma: your safe now my darling! Nina: Cough huh?
Death: (Animation: Nina falls in pain and curls up, Before Ka’ma opens up, and wraps around her to pick her up, before falling through a portal. only Ka’ma will speak during this time)
My poor poor darling, I’ll keep you safe
Don’t worry, I won't let them hurt you any further
we’ve fought enough, let's rest
I’ll make them pay… I'll make them… die...
(End Killing spree)
we had a good run darling… you must be tired
its okay… I know your limits… you now rest
we’re almost home Nina, don’t you want to see your parents again?
Mimics a distorted female voice, implied to be a mother Nina! Sweetie! I love you!
Mimics a distorted male voice Nina! You need to fight! Don’t let them take you from us!
Respawn: (shares the same animation of Nina sitting, except Nina stretches her arms as if waking up)
(First 3 deaths) Nina: Yawn what happened? Ka’ma: I saved you…
Nina: thank you Ka’ma! Ka’ma: don't sweat it!
Nina: Gasp Ka’ma: take your breath Nina, they're gone now
(after dying… alot)
Nina: whimper I-I don't w-wanna k-keep going Ka’ma: you’ll never see your mother… you’ll never see your father… is that what you want? Nina: n-no… n-no…. Ka’ma: then let's go
Nina: Wakes up P-pa! Ka’ma: yes sweetie? Nina: o-oh… I-I meant Ka’ma: me?
Nina: it hurts… they hurt… Ka’ma: there there... we have to keep going… until they can't hurt you anymore…Then it will be all over…
[Special interactions] (Ally star guardian, animation is changed to make Nina dance in excitement) Nina: Gasp! Ka’ma: is that a real galactic guardian of the stars and light just like in your favorite anime?! Nina: Flustered incomprehensible mumbles (Walking near the star guardian applies a buff on Nina called “autograph”, signed by that player, it doesn't do anything, but it stays with you the entire game :U)
Autograph: You just had a real life star guardian sign your shoulder device, you are never going to wash that part of your body ever again
(Sees enemy jinx killing spree) Nina: she’s hurting people! Ka’ma: but those people want to hurt you! (Pauses to think) Nina: what if she wants to hurt me? Ka’ma: you want us kill her? Nina: I want us to stop her Ka’ma: oh… anything for my girl…
[Quest] Loose Ka'man: Stop Jinx from hurting people (kill her)
