Creik, The Scarlet Extinction
Lore: Stories long ago told of a being so horrifying people dared not even utter its name. A being who found solace in rivers of blood. They tell tale of someone emerging onto the battlefields between Noxus and Demacia slaying entire platoons of soldiers by himself. The reports coming back could only be described in mixed hysteria of soldiers witnessing their comrades be killed mercilessly, by someone who wields scythes of blood. These stories soon turned into rumors, then into legends and now into tall tales parents tell their children so they behave.
However rumors have begun circulating of those who venture into the tempest flats, a man by the name of Vladimir, known to draw the essence of life out of the unwitting prey that come through his lands. But their is another who's reputation is feared even more. A man wrapped in rags and who's face is hidden under a cloak, witnesses of this man tell tale of his brutality and insatiable hunger. Fearing that Vladimir may have created another man as the same to him. Noxus sent an armed convoy to confront Vlad personally.
Katarina stood in front of the guard and demanded to know of Vladimir's deeds. Vlad however told them of what he witnessed, the same being hunting people in his lands upon confrontation with this being. He understood he stood no chance against him and that he doesn't know who or what he is. Suddenly a figure could seen approaching from fog, clad in scraps of rag and under a hood he began advancing on the group of people.
"So hungry, so very hungry. Have you come to quench my thirst?"
The figure lifted his hood up and his eyes were ruby red and full of malice. Katarina fearing this man ordered his soldiers to charge him. The first to lead the charge impaled him on a pike. The figures eyes rolled into the back of his head. "Ahhhh the pain, it makes me feel so Aliiiivvveeee." The figure proceeded to pull the pike out of him and like the blood off the end. Then suddenly he leapt at the soldier and bared his teeth into the his throat. The gurgled throas of death could only be heard uttering from the soldiers throat. Suddenly noxus backed off, but another bark of the orders from katarina demanding death they charged back in.
He stood up and wiped blood from his mouth and proceeded to engage in combat. In what could only be described as a man dancing around killing ruthlessly with a crimson blade and being wounded repeated times. He killed them all, when the last soldier fell he stood in the middle, unscathed.
"It feels sooo goood, hahaha, know this Vladimir, my name is Creik, I will show you what the ruby red fluid can do."
Innate: Unsated Hunger All of Creiks abilities are affected by Life steal. As Creik's abilities gain additional damage based on how damaged Creik is.
Q: Ulcerate Creik uses his scarlet blade to pierce his target, causing moderate damage and a heavy DoT bleed on them.
W: Evaporate Creik melds into bloody dust and travels forward at a moderate speed, upon hitting first enemy target he disappears into them and pops out the other side causing heavy damage. Hitting an enemy causes him to disappear inside of them for a short amount of time causing him to be untargetable, duration is shorter against champions.
E: Reap and Sow (Active) Reap Creik sweeps his blade in an arc in front of him dealing more damage the closer they are. (Passive) Sow Abilities and basic attacks reduce the cooldowns of his abilities.
R: Extinction Creik gives into his thirst for blood, he marks a target for feeding. Rapidly losing life but gaining immense life steal, damage vs that target and passive movement speed towards marked target.
So I designed the champion around being an almost inhuman being, but still being quite human. His passive is important to how he plays, because all of his abilities cost blood he needs a reliable way to stay health in lane without being entirely reliant on potions. The increased damage on ability forces players to chose whether they want to fight or die and to choose carefully. His Q isn't necessarily special but the DoT is a good way to help him regain life as well as win trades in lane. The W, this is his bread and butter skill. It allows for excellent disengage as well as reengage. It helps him stick to targets like glue and gap close to get into fights. His E is designed around helping him cs and deal some extra damage to targets and helping him kill people. The Ultimate is difficult to use, in a 1v1 fight he will almost undoubtedly win, unless the target can CC him to death. He will just out lifesteal and out damage his target. However in team fights he can be quick to being bursted down or just disengaged from. Timing is key for this.
Overall this champion is a bruiser designed to take on targets in small fights and to be difficult to kill 1v1.
