So the part 1 got 50 views, so here you go:

Lore: There is only one Darkin known to man. He is one of five remaining, and his name is Aatrox. A tale states that he once led the Protectorates into battle, completely turning around the fight, taking the overconfident Magelords by surprise. Aatrox led that attack, and he annihilated all of the Magelords.

    But he did not. He wanted the battle to continue. He spared some of the Magelords, hoping someday the would grant revenge on him for killing all of the Magelords. It is unknown who these Magelords are, but they might be alive now. They seek revenge on Aatrox for his deed. 

     One day, they emerged from hiding, never revealing their identities. They sought after Aatrox. They pursued him endlessly. Then one day, as they wandered the ruins the battle, Aatrox appeared. The Magelords prepared for their fight. They all charged at Aatrox, who took flight towards them. Before hitting each other, a figure smashed into the ground, knocking them all back.

     "Who are you? You are obviously one of the other four. Wait . . . . . " - ??????
      " Yes, brother. I am here." 
      " So, now the final piece of the puzzle is revealed."
       " Yes. The puzzle is to your demise, brother."

    They grinned at each other and engaged in a brutal and gruesome battle. Blood flew everywhere. The Magelords could only watch. They watched as the brothers' blades drank off of each others' blood. Dust flew everywhere. When the dust cleared, this new hero of the Magelords stood over a kneeling Aatrox, whose blade was stabbed into the ground. The new hero laughed triumphantly as Aatrox quickly lunged upward, his thirst for blood into his well fueling him. This new hero evaded the attack.

       " I know your tricks, brother."

     Aatrox dove back down, slicing his blade into the hero, whose limb flew off. Aatrox took advantage of this, executing a series of fatal blows. The hero fell to the ground. The hero struggled back up, bleeding heavily, all the blood flowing into Aatrox's sword. He lunged for Aatrox. Aatrox willingly let the blade stab him in the heart. Aatrox stabbed the hero in the heart. Their blood flowed into the other's sword, and they both took their dark flight.

     Blood trickled down as they rapidly gained altitude. Then suddenly, the pools of blood on the ground soon formed Aatrox and the hero, still both of them with their blades in each other's hearts. They ripped out their blades in unison and backed away from each other. 

       " Our battle was a great work of art, Zzynx."
       " Indeed, brother. Shall the painting be completed another time."

      As the two Darkin flew in opposite directions, those words echoed across the battlefield.

Abilities:

Passive: Blood of the Warrior: For every 2% of his maximum hp that Zzynx is missing, he gains 1% AD (attack damage) and 1% AS (attack speed). each 2% of his maximum health Zzynx is missing stores 1 [pint of] blood into The Chamber of Blood.

Q: Blood Burst: Zzynx does 60/75/90/105/120 + blood [pints] x 4 physical damage to enemies in a cone. If Zzynx is below 50% health before the ability's health cost this ability does double damage. Cooldown: 13/12/11/10/9 seconds. Health cost: 5% of current health.

W:Bleeding Agony: Zzynx's blade seeks blood, causing his basic attack to make targets bleed, dealing 15/30/45/60/75 + 10% bonus AD in magic damage over 3 seconds. Zzynx recovers health equal to half of all damage dealt this way. This effect cannot occur onto the same target for 10 seconds after they bleed. This ten seconds doesn't start until the bleeding effect is over. If Zzynx attacks that enemy during that ten seconds, he loses 20/30/40/50/50 health .

E: Blood Flow: Zzynx becomes completely blood for 0.5 seconds, becoming invulnerable. At the end of those 0.5 seconds, he flows to target area, dealing 75/100/125/150/150 + 80% AP as magic damage in an area as well as reappearing there. All enemies hit are slowed by 30/35/40/45/50% for 1 second. After reappearing, Zzynx gains 15/20/25/30/35% increased attack speed. Cooldown: 16/15/14/13/12 seconds. Health cost: 10% of current health.

R: Darkin's Bloodlust: Zzynx ascends to a true battle form, gaining +30/40/50 armor, +30/40/50 magic resist, + 30/45/60 AD, 30/45/60 AP, +35/45/55% AS, +10/15/20 movement speed, and + 150 range on his attacks. He gains bonus attack damage equal to the amount of blood [pints] in the Chamber of Blood, and he doesn't recover health from Bloodthirst. Lasts for 15 seconds. Cooldown: 83/71/60 seconds after end. No cost.

change his passive to much likeAatrox i think u need to make sure this champion is unique in a way also i love this lore very very intresting and i love all the skills just not the passive i want it to be something that mkes him stand out not the same as aatrox and although they are brothers i believe they shud be somewhat in a way opposite from each other

Overall I think he needs a lot more fine tuning. I mean as badass as this battle between aatrox and his brother sounds,he really strikes me as Aatrox 2.0 mixed with some vladimir and Olaf.

I understand that he is Aatroxs brother and that you wanted to put some emphasis on that,but he kinda lacks anything that makes him stand out on his own.Almost every champ has something that makes him/her stand out from the rest thematically(the kinkou ninjas are a bit struggling with that,but they are also rather old champs),Malphite is a rock monster,Bard is a shinto god,ekko a time traveler,Azir is a sand-mage/emporer/Ra-guy,etc.

Aatrox stands out because he is that slim demonic figure and basically a war god,if his brother is pretty much the same,then neither of them is unique anymore.

Also I think you overdid it with the whole blood-thing in his skillset,I mean Aatrox himself hasn't so many blood related abilities either. And I would also say some skills need a bit changing,I mean his W sounds simply painful to even level up.It kinda encourages to poke the enemy and then hide for 10 seconds until you can poke them again,as it punishes you for further attacks and only deals bonus damage every 10 seconds(actually every 13 seconds,since the cooldown only starts after the bleeding stopped).The E sounds a lot like Vladimirs W,but at least the mechanic is vastly different. The ult sounds far too powerful,I mean Aatroxs ult gives him 5% more attack speed,deals magic damage on cast(but since aatrox rarely buys ap,this isn't that powerful),gives a little bit more range and fills his blood well,but it doesn't last that long,has a longer cooldown and it doesn't give him these massive boosts for DEF,MR,AD,AP and Movementspeed. ZZynx ult just seems far more powerful than aatrox,as the advantages of aatroxs ult are incredibly small compared to those of Zzynxs.

Lore wise this also clashes a bit about what we know about aatrox and the darkin. Aatrox isn't the only darkin known to man,it was confirmed that of the 5 darkins,there are 3 known to history(including aatrox),it is just that we as the players never heard of them.And its also not like aatrox personally killed all of the magelords,he came to the help of the protectorate in one battle and the blood lust,that he caused in that battle was responsible for the protectorate to slaughter the magelords.
