Artwork i found in this website. Been slowly working on this champion just after i finished my first champion Unfallen. I think these two should be friends and work together, because in many ways they are similar.

I apologize for my bad english in advance.

Also, i think this song fit well to my champion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VFroDCsVCeY

Role: fighter, assassin, mage Type: melee (180 attack range)

A note: i want to make melee champion who could be played as ADC.

#Abilities

Passive: The Bringer Of Dawn Your basic attacks have enhanced range. Attacking enemies, further away than certain range, will cause you to jump to your target.

Passive: The Light In Darkness Killing an enemy minion will heal closest friendly champion for 6 (+ 10% of AD) health.

| Range: 600 |

I put a short cooldown on leaps, because Yasuo have infinite leaps with no cooldown and that is just broken. While cooldown is pretty short, there is a cooldown and it shouldn't be reduced by cooldown reduction. Yes, melee champion have to stick to an enemy, but at least short cooldown should be in place to not make him overpowered.

Q: Wings Of Fire Charge a distance forward, while knocking back enemies behind you in a cone. Enemies, who get hit by your change, suffers 60 / 90 / 120 / 150 / 180 (+ 90% of AD) physical damage. Enemies, who get knocked back, suffers 80 / 100 / 120 / 140 / 160 (+ 60% of AP) magic damage.

If you use this ability, while you are under effect of Power To Fire, then you will charge backwards and knock back enemies in front of you.

Charge and knock back happens at the same time, not one after another.

W: Power To Fire/ Fire To Power Power To Fire: change into more magic focused mode, causing your The Bringer Of Dawn to become disabled and make your basic attacks ranged instead. Your new ranged basic attacks will deal 10 / 15 / 20 / 25 / 30 (+ 55% of AD) (+ 15% of AP) magic damage.

Fire To Power: change back into attack damage focused mode, gaining 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 / 12 bonus armor penetration, becoming melee range champion again. (default mode)

| Mana cost: 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 / 32 | | Cooldown: 4 seconds |

You start game in melee mode. I think in melee mode wings should burst with flames and in range mode hands should burst with flames.

E: Solar Wings Passive: when you get stunned, knocked into air, suppressed, feared or suffer any other crowd control effect, which prevents you from attacking, guard yourself with your winds, reducing all damage taken by 10 / 12 / 14 / 16 / 18% (+1% per 20 of AP) for 2 seconds.

| Cooldown: 12 / 11.5 / 11 / 10.5 / 10 seconds |

Stasis doesn't count as crowd control effect towards this passive.

R: The Morning Start After 0.5 sec delay jump into the air, become untargetable (like Elise) and stay in the air for up to 3 seconds. While in the air, you can target and area and perform certain action. Also, while you are in the air, you illuminate whole map, allowing you to see hidden and far away enemies.

Under effect of Power To Fire: shoot a solar flare into targeted area, dealing 200 / 250 / 300 (+ 80% of AP) magic damage to enemies in that area and land back into your current location.

Under effect of Fire To Power: crash into targeted area, dealing 180 / 220 / 260 (+ 120% of AD) physical damage to enemies in that area.

Magic mode will cause you to land in same place you used this ability. Physical mode cause you to land in targeted area.

At the start of the game, you chose a sin to fulfill, gaining benefits for certain actions. As chosen sin gets fulfilled, you unlock more and more benefits. You can't change your sin as game goes on.

Sin Of Pride After fully building an item, upgrading it into final form of item (with no upgrade options allowed for further upgrade; items with less than 2000 total gold cost doesn't count), gain bonus stats: 1 item: +5 armor penetration and +5 attack damage; 2 items: +10% attack speed and +4% movement speed; 3 items: +5 armor penetration and +5 attack damage; 4 items: +5% critical strike change and +5% bonus critical damage; 5 items: transform 5% of physical damage you deal into true damage; 6 items: +5% life steal.

Sin Of Wrath As you score killing blows on enemy champions, gain bonus stats: 2 kills: +5 magic penetration and +10 ability power; 4 kills: +5% spell vamp; 6 kills: +2% movement speed and +15% bonus base mana regen; 8 kills: +10% cooldown reduction; 10 kills: transform 5% of magic damage you deal into true damage; 12 kills: +10% spell vamp.

#Story

World far way, made by an ancient god, inhabited by ancient immortal race. Not immortal as not unkillable, but as not dying from old age. As this race, angelic in nature, grew in size, expanded over their world, order and rules was a need. So, this worlds and this range of angels are ruled by the Divine Trinity - three of the oldest and strongest of all angels. Wise, in their own way, they ruled their world in an iron fist. These three rulers set three main rules, who had to be followed be each and every angel in their world:

Everyone must work and live for a greater good;
Everyone, who is not working for a greater good, is fallen and thus needs to be punished;
All order of the Divine trinity are absolute. Most of angels saw these rules as perfect guidelines of how to live. However, other viewed them as tyrannical of the dictators. Some of angles rebelled against their rules, and continue to do so until even this day, but Divine Trinity doesn't allow opposition and destroy anyone who disagree.

Two granddaughters of one of the rules were well know angels: Kayle and Morgana. One fighting for the tyrannical rule and other fighting against it. However, their grandfather, being one of three absolute leaders, condemned even his granddaughter Morgana to death, for her rebellious actions, so she fled into another world, Runeterra, searching for safe place to retread and allies to built power, in order to dethrone the tyrannical rulers. Her sister, Kayle, follower right after Morgana in order to stop her, yet, she didn't know why Divine Trinity was so afraid of Morgana's actions, because these three wanted to send an entire army after Morgana.

The reason is pretty simple, but also complicated at the same time. When ancient god created angelic world and angels, six angels were created and they were the reflections of their maker. However, seventh angel was made right after, not in the reflection of his maker, and no one was really sure why. Ancient god gave his children a world to live, gave a gift to create life and many forms, showered them with gifts, all of them were blessed, except for the seventh angel. He couldn't have children or create life though magic, he had no place to call his home and wasn't gifted like all others. Seventh angel spoke to his maker and asked why he wasn't like all other, who were gifted:

(Samael) - Ou great maker, lord of my kind, who gifted life to me and others i can see, creator of land and skies, your son ask you of this, why you showered gifts unto others, but bare me a grace of your kindness. Why thy son, you named Samael, wasn't loved as other had? Have i committed wrong against your wishes? (Ancient god) - No, my faithful child, nor shall want thy to. Gifts are for those deemed to need them, not those who wish to ask them upon themselves. Love is showered equally and not reflected through favors. Samael, thy got a greatest gift than any of your brethren. Other marvel and joy in the gift, thy was given a gift to make miracles. Divine craft of of miracles, no other of your brethren was gives, except thy. My son, thy will be what thy will want.

As years gone by, the ancient god disappeared, maybe traveled into another world, maybe got destroyed, but angelic world survived without their god. New angels being born, stronger rules taking the power over others, only one of them was left out. Being different than anyone else, Samael was an outcast, yet, over thousands of years he mastered the only gift which was given to him. His gift wasn't some simple magical power or elemental control. His gift was the power of the stars. He was like a living star, able to shine the light in the darkest places, but at same time, able to burn everything around. Duality of stars, was duality of his: to shine or to burn, that what his creator gave him. Instead of creating life, he had power to end it, and to start anew. Angels, ruling their race, were afraid of this power, power of stars, so they did everything they could to scare other angels, turning them against Samael. When all world hates you, there ins't much to do, so Samael become an exile, traveled to foreign wold and didn't return home. Divine Trinity was sure Morgana moved to Runeterra, because Samael was residing in that world, and they were right. When Morgana learned about this ancient ancestor of her race, living in other world and having power of the stars, she believed that Samael would be a great ally to achieve her goals.

(Morgana) - You know were well, tyrants in our home fear angles like us. They are blinded by their own "justice", they see no errors in all damage they do. I learned your story, you are just like me. Join me, lets help each other. Together we can make them suffer, we can change both worlds: our home and this one. (Samael) - Why do you think that i care? Your kind abandoned me, force me into this world. Why should i care about matter who aren't relevant to me any more? Don't you see? Look around, touch, breath, smell and feel this world. All different races, all different life forms living here, maybe not in harmony, but i much prefer this life than the one i left. Love, lust, greed, gluttony, pride - here they are just words, desires to be fulfilled. Here, i can get any women i want love, i can get any animal i want to eat, here i live in freedom. Amuse me for a second, woman, why should i care about your world? You can't offer me anything, because i already have everything i need. (Morgana) - I may not be able to offer what you desire, except if you don't want to lose it all. My wretched sister followed me here, tyrannical rules send her to eliminate me. As you see, she have failed, so what do you think will happen next? You know elder very well and you know what they gonna do next. Join me, morning star, lets make them suffer, lets protect, what really needs protection, and change, what really needs changes. (Samael) - Damn, you are an amusing one.
