Jinx's mom: Champion concept

Reptars·Sep 9, 2016·3 votes·1,122 views

Okay so i'm a fan of champion relationships and i think it has been too long since we have seen a blood relation. correct me if i'm mistaken, but there has yet to be a parent/child relation yet and only a few hand picked champs could work with this. I chose jinx because i think the relationship she could have with her mom would be just what we need. let me explain my thought for their relationship.

We all know jinx is batshit crazy. In one of her quotes she says "You think I'm crazy? You should see my sister!". This got me thinking about where her sister actually is. This is where i think her sister should be in a mental asylum sent there by, you guessed it, their mom. She clearly knows that her daughters are crazy killers. Maybe jinx was the younger sibling and was not showing any severe mental disorders when she was young so her parents didn't think too much about it. (jinx knew that she was "crazy" at this point) When she saw her sister get dragged off to the mental asylum she knew deep down she was next. So when the time was right, Or when she noticed her parents witnessing her do something psychotic, she escaped out into the world. So it is believed that jinx originates from zaun which is right next to piltover. Jinx might be crazy, but she knew if her parents ever came looking for her, they wouldn't think to look at the city right next to them first so she had time to spare.

Now this is where two possible outcomes could arise. This first one would be that her mom actually ventured out into the world in search for her to capture jinx. Her abilities could be from visiting all these different parts of runeterra and picking up different skills to capture jinx like having a mix of both magic and machine.

For the second one her parents could have been weaponsmiths (This would explain where jinx got her guns from also) originally from piltover, but then moved to zaun to start their business. Instead of venturing out into the world, maybe news of the piltover terrorist made it to zaun and her mom knew it was jinx. So instead of just going straight there, she instead spent her time creating this huge array of weapons (abilities) to subdue her daughter.

This kind of champion would have a motherly determination personality (sweet hearted but tough) because she feels it is her fault that she did not do anything sooner and now piltover is paying for her choices and she thinks it is up to her to stop it. Maybe she can also have some relation to vi and cait?

Both instances above is all about single target capture so i think it would be perfect for a support or jungler(why not both).

Please let me know what you think about this in the comments below! I will work on some concept art in the meantime.

Thank you for taking your time to read this!

I already made a "family" idea regarding Jinx, Vi, Sona (Eldest sister), Illaoi (Mother) and Viktor (Father) and discussed it to support.

That's cool, are your ideas similar to mine? can you link the post?

I had a request for sending my Nura Champion, having a special event called "The Buvelle Blood", and talked about CeeCee in general.

I think Jinx is stated to be an orphan from Zaun; her mother likely is not alive.

really? I did not see that in her lore. I think the only thing it mentions is the her clothes look like they are from zaun. oh and her guns have a piltover design, which is what made me create the concept that her parents were weaponsmiths from piltover who moved to zaun. I hope she isn't an orphan though because then i would have just wasted my time XD

But why would anyone do that? Move to Zaun from Piltover?

But yeah, I think it's stated in her updated lore and implied in Ekko's lore that she's an orphan. I do know it is said she is from Zaun and loves the chaos of living there, and her beef with Piltover is essentially that its up-tight orderliness offends her.

Well it's common for anyone to do that if money is included. selling piltover tech in piltover will have low demand, but selling piltover tech in zaun will have a greater demand. See where i'm going with this? let's also include that it's the mom i'm talking about and most mom's would do literally anything to provide for her children, even move to a crappy city, as long as it means putting food on the table and a roof over their heads.

"but why didn't she go somewhere else?" (just because i thought about this question myself) She was already struggling in piltover to make a living and wanted to leave to another city, but she only had enough money to catch a ride for herself and her two children to zaun. Maybe even just the older sister and could have been pregnant with jinx at the time, that would explain why jinx has no connection to piltover because she was raised in zaun.

I'll have to check on ekkos lore, but let's crazily say riot does pick up on this lore, she could have seemed to have been orphaned because she ran away from home and lived on the streets for awhile before eventually heading to piltover. That's just a way they could implicate it.

thank you for challenging me, it really makes me think more about the champion i got going here. if you have any other questions keep them going!

Still though, Zaun kind of has a... reputation in Piltover. It is pretty much to Piltover what Noxus is to Demacia. I can't help but wonder how desperate one would have to be to go somewhere so horrible in hopes of finding a better living than in a place like Piltover.

well yeah they do have reputations, but what i was going for wasn't them looking for a better place, but just a place to live. ya know? it is way better than living on the street with her kids. it may not be where they want to be, but its the only place they have.

Talking economy, living in piltover should cost way more than living in zaun just because of those widely different living conditions. Then again, now that jinx ruined piltover and is constantly terrorizing its citizens, the economy must be just as bad as zaun at this point.
