Passive: United Legion http://postimg.org/image/u13wdzmyb/ Whenever Aelous takes damage, he has a 35% chance to create a copy of himself. Copies last 12 seconds, and can only apply certain on hit effects (life steal, essence reaver passive, grievous wounds, maim, butcher, armor penetration, tribute, rage, furor, spoils of war). On-hit effects are only 15% effective for copies. Copies only apply on-hit effects if Aelous currently has it. Copies do not generate auras (legion aura, frozen heart, sunfire cape, abyssal staff) but will use the effects if they are in the auras. Copies benefit from Zeke's Herald (even though they are only copies of a champion, they are still regarded as an ally champion, not just a minion). Copies can not benefit from passive effects that trigger when damage hits them (randuin’s omen, wardens mail, quill coat, spectre's cowl, thornmail, odyn's veil, banshee's veil, orb of winter, lifeline). They will not use enhanced autoattack modifiers (sheen, iceborn, trinforce, lich bane, entropy, muramana, crits) Copies move at 90% of the current speed that Aelous has Aelous's current attack speed. Copies cannot be controlled but will prioritize champions and large monsters. Copies never move more than 900 units away (unless the target is marked). Copies will immediately disengage their target if it moves out of sight (unless the target is marked). Copies will only be spawned once per every tick of damage.

Tips: Playing as Aelous:
Items like Thornmail and Randuin's Omen synergize well with your passive Copies can block skillshots. Use Mark of the Legion to guide the copies into the paths of the skillshots Copies can benefit from items like Zeke's Herald and Aura of the Legion (Coincidence?)

Lore: Aelous was a lonely child that lived in Noxus. He had no friends and his family rejected him. He was constantly bullied at the academy he went to, consistently getting beaten up on a daily basis. One day, he wandered into a forbidden section of the academy to avoid his bullies. Unknown to him, he had wandered into the Dark Magics section of the academy. He saw powerful artifacts that were locked away behind enchanted glass. There was one item that intrigued him, the Gauntlet of the Legion. This artifact allowed the user to create copies of himself when threatened. Aelous became obsessed with this artifact and spent much time sneaking down to the forbidden section just to see it. He researched much about its power, and craved it. Years later he broke into the forbidden section and stole the gauntlet. He fought his way out of Noxus, brandishing an ancient sword (which he also stole) and overwhelming those who fought him. He was caught and ordered to execution. The gauntlet was removed from him and destroyed. It was shortly after that Aelous realized he no longer needed the gauntlet for its power, he had absorbed it into himself. With this he escaped his imprisonment on the day of his execution. He survived Draven’s execution through the use of his power to use the copies to block Draven’s spinning axes. He fled far from Noxus to avoid further trouble. He stowed away on a vessel that was headed to Ionia. There he lived a peaceful, but lonely life. Everything was easy and quiet until the forces of the Noxian army attacked Ionia. He saw Ionians slain left and right by the axe of the most feared Noxian known: Darius. Aelous fought the legend with all he had, but not even his copies were enough. Just as the fatal blow was about to be dealt, Aelous saw a massive blade pierce the Noxian through the shoulder. The last thing he saw was a girl wield the blade without even touching it, as she slayed the Noxian army. Darius had escaped, the only survivor of the slaughter. Aelous woke up a few days later, in a Ionian temple with a mass of Ionian elders gathered around him. He was given the title “Guardian of the Legion”, the title of a hero from Ionian myth. He learned that the girl he saw was Irelia, and that she had left earlier to join the League of Legends. He did the same, hoping to meet Irelia and to find and finally kill Darius and to take revenge on Noxus. Friends: Irelia
