Lore: Born in the village near Demacia, he’s one of the last remnants of his kind – beast slayers, demon annihilators and prophets, praying for the souls of mankind. Some of his ancestors died in a great war in the lands of former Kalamanda, but most of them died in the ancient opposition between light and darkness. Trained to the cracks of bones, each member of his family was raised as true warriors of light, clerics, and defenders of weak destitute. In the age of young man, he, his father and his people decided to assault grand temple in the mountains of Noxus, which, according to dark rumors, was full of evil presence. The haunted temple, however, wasn’t so affable. The moment his father stepped into the evil domain, they heard a dry laugh coming out from nowhere. The only thing his father succeeded to say was – “Run, son”, as his body collapsed as bouquet of roses, showing all the crimson grim beauty of his anatomy. Screaming in the pain and fear, villagers, dropping down the torches and pikes, ran away, dying one by one. Fountains of blood have arranged a fearsome carnival, as the young Mihai, paralyzed by these pictures, cried bloody tears. The blood mage appears with a satisfied smile. He looks at the young man and snatches his eye and arm, tortures him, but lets him survive. “Your eyeballs have seen too much for a pitiful creature like you: one of them is more than enough. Run, as your father has told you, and care that one eye of yours. You will need it as you’ll seek for revenge. I’ll let you see me one more time, and then it’s gonna be your last”. Friends: Rivals:

KIT

Passive - Saviour's road: Every third strike gives him bonus effect depending on dominant powers (stat that has 10 points more than other stats, except attack damage) which activates on every third strike and deactivates if the fourth strike is attempted. Only one effect can be enabled at the same time (same item build). Passive is activated only after buying one single item, which increases his stats (disabled by default). Has cooldown of 7 seconds. Crusader - Building armor: every third strike gives him shield, absorbing some amount of damage for 1 hit. (Whip glows with yellow thorns). Priest - Building m. resist: every third strike gives him magic shield, absorbing some amount of m. damage. (Whip glows purple for a single strike). Pilgrim - Ability power is fused with his movement speed*: every third strike gives him little bonus to movement speed. (whip burns with blue flame for a single strike). Usable if Mihai is intended to be played as support, to successfully control the enemy. When Mihai's mana is low, he misses with every third basic attack because he can't control his iron arm.

Q - Blasphemy! Mihai slaps a single enemy with a whip and launches him back, slowing the target for a short amount of time but not dealing any damage.

W - Holy Symphony When toggled, every third basic attack slows (but makes Mihai lose his physical attack)(Pilgrim), replenishes mana (but makes Mihai lose life)(Priest) or silences (but makes Mihai lose movement speed)(Crusader) enemy depending on which road he has chosen to walk.

E - Lightout Mihai dashes backwards and throws knives in front of him. Can be used either to chase or to run from his enemy. Or even to outrun him, so he can use "Blasphemy (Q)" to send enemy backwards to Mihai's teammates.

R - Divine mace Mihai smashes the ground vertically, dealing big amount of physical damage and marking enemies for few seconds. Next basic attacks on the marked enemies replenish a little amount of Mihai's mana.

Even though Mihai should be built to punish his enemies with basic attacks, he strongly relies on timing and the right usage of his passive ability, which not only makes him a more defensive and thinking character, but also a more risky and deliberate one. He needs to know when to rush into the fight and when to cleverly escape it. His passive is easily punished if he's being forced to fight whenever he's not ready to handle enemy's full cast. He will be mostly forced to go into the magic resist, because he will always need mana if he doesn't want to miss every third hit, however he still can chose what kind of progression he likes the most (which are way more risky).

instead of whip, he's fighting with a chain and his armor is similar to Braum's armor. His prime color theme should be red or orange (something similar to Simon Belmont). High Noon Mihai/Adventurer Mihai: http://i.imgur.com/EI5iGSU.jpg Cowboy with lasso or Indiana Jones-like skin. Extras

Jokes:

Good? Bad? I'm the guy with the whip. (Evil Dead, Ash reference)
I say whip it. Whip it good! (Devo – Whip It reference)

Taunts: - It's time to end your miserable existence. - We are walking the same path. Too bad you stand in my way. - Your sins will not be forgotten, monster! - Your time has come. Die, monster! - It's time to reap all you've sown.
