#Lore "Everyone, sooner or later, faces the point of no return – and I will never return from once I was before." - Allengard, the Forsaken Guardian

*"Allengard, albeit somewhat young and inexperienced, is disciplined and never loses his focus. Steadfast and strong, his great weapons does not hinder him from performing and achieving greatness and beyond. Although he might be one of the most honorable knights the League has ever met, Allengard, like he is now, was a completely different person in the past. *

*Once upon a time, not long ago, there was a village in Noxus territory, five full moons away from the city-state Noxus itself. Allengard and his family lived there, in fact, lived since many generations and in each generation there was a guardian who devoted his entire life in combat and training, to protect the village against threats. Since quite some years, the village was exposed by a strange kind of enemy, a pack of wolves, with the intellect of a human, but in a body of a wolf. Strangely enough, despite of their countless attempts to set a paw on the village, they never stopped. Allengard took good care of the enemies of the village, but he is just as human as everyone else, thus didn’t murder them, in hope they might find another place for hunting. *

*It was a cold and strenuous day, Allengard slept in his room instead to be on guard, as the wolves never attacked the village in the daylight before. Allengard’s sloth was his doom, because the wolves started an all-out attack on the village in the bright of the light. The next thing what happened was when Allengard’s house was destroyed in an instant in two pieces by a giant wolf. Allengard woke up, and he couldn’t believe what he saw. The whole village was massacred, he stood in a river of blood, and the last mourning villagers have been silenced by the relentless wolves that ate their flesh in few seconds. Allengard went berserk and fought back, leaving no single recognizable piece of their body – and for the first time in his life, left the village. *

Allengard’s despair was greater than his resolve, and so he walked day and night in different directions, ate the things he found and was searching for someone or something that would defeat him in a honorable match, eventually dying and freeing him from his miserable life. When Allengard’s body and mind was at his limits, he fell right into the cold snow of Freljord, slowly waiting for his decay, when a stranger found him and took him to a village. Allengard was being treated with care and with love, as rarely seen in these times. When Allengard woke up, he heard screams, thus ran outside. A troop of soldiers, ordering all men to follow and fight for the Winter’s Claw tribe, forcefully pushed the villagers into a corner. Allengard attacked the troops, defeated, and sent them back where they came from. He now dedicates his life to the village that he owes a second chance and joins the League of Legends in order to fight Sejuani, and for the freedom of the village."

#Appearance
Allengard looks pretty much like this.

He has two epic swords.

Those two swords can be attached to each other to be used as a double blade, similar to this down below.

#Champion Explanation

• Allengard (Fictional name by me – Allen-gard) is known as a serious character who pities himself, and who hates himself, because he let his foolishness get over him. However, sometimes he can be too serious, which results in punishing himself with bad thoughts of himself.
• *Allengard was the protector of a village near Noxus, but didn’t take it seriously enough, thus the village was destroyed. Allengard normally has a strong resolve and fights to protect the people he holds close to him. *
• *When Allengard arrived at the village near Freljord, the people took care of his injuries and his bad shape. Then, out of nothing, Sejuani, leader of the Winter’s Claw tribe, sent her troops to take the men from the village in order to use them as soldiers to win the war of Freljord and unite Freljord. Because Allengard found another village to protect and take care of, he declared that he will protect the very village as a independent state, with no connection to Freljord anymore. Because of this, Allengard needs to fight in the League to prove the village’s worth. *
• As you have probably read – a pack of wolves, somehow in possession of human intelligence, camped and terrorized Allengard’s previous village. The secret behind is an evil and crazy magician who learnt the way of manipulating and morphing humans into animals or even worse. This person transformed many victims, to become bloodthirsty creatures and turn to mindless and cruel animals.
• *Allengard fights with two swords which hilts can be attached to create a double blade. *
• *Allengard is a strong bruiser who depends on quick use of abilities to deal great damage. He is best played on top lane, perhaps as Jungler, too. *

#Concept Explanation

I see in Allengard a combination of Mordekaiser, Riven and Singed. Why, you ask? Because part of Allengard’s kit is based on dealing upfront damage in close combat, while he is encouraged in chasing and poking the enemy. Allengard does a “reversed” gas contamination like Singed, which means that he needs to chase in order to deal damage, instead to be chased to deal damage. This can be easily countered, but the most problematic thing would be that Allengard’s movement speed can exceed the enemy’s, thus could be problematic to deal constantly damage as he needs to stay still for one second to apply the damage, but exactly in such moments the enemy can escape.

Innate Passive works perfectly with the rest of his kit as his damage is based on attack damage and by buying tanky items, he can tank while he does medium damage. In combination with Atma Impaler, it’ll be a blast. His Q allows him to farm with care, but also allows to control the enemy movement. The W gives him bonus movement speed and he can chase his enemies all day and all night long, well for just a max of 6 seconds. E passive gives him the ability to keep up with fast targets or to sustain through out a team fight, which is essential for his kit as the passive is based on current health, not max health. Last, but not least - The Ultimate which only works when using after 2 casts of Q or when W is active. This is to ensure that the player needs both timing and skill in order to use it in the best way. You chose between a skillshot or a dash, this is up to you.

Allengard is strong against Champions who are forced in melee combat and have no real escape ability like Malphite, Mordekaiser or Yasuo. Allengard is weak against high-bursting Champions who can control the tide of winning or losing easily by tricking or outmanoeuvring like Jax, Zed, Fizz.
