Solomon, the Resplendent Arbitrator
Role: AP Tank and Jungler
Inspiration: To create a champion with an Ultimate similar to Janna's but with an emphasis on withstanding retaliation during the entirety of its channel.
General Design Philosophy: Solomon is a front line, disruption-based tank with an emphasis on keeping himself strong and resilient enough to endure even the most fed of opponents. After dashing into the enemy team in a brilliant flash of light, Solomon can isolate a target by knocking back other enemies around him. When retaliation comes and he begins to take focus fire, the Resplendent Arbitrator strengthens his resolve, activating a self-heal that grows more powerful the more damage he sustains. His passive also allows him a brief window of immunity from crowd control effects, ensuring that he can reach and cast judgment on the target he needs to.
Risk Analysis: Low. Solomon has a compelling kit without any one spell being too extreme or out there. His thematic similarities to Leona should be seen as interesting and immersive, but could also be seen as a little overbearing.
Appearance: A large, middle aged and bearded man in radiant Solari armor, wielding a massive paladin's mace and book of laws. Similar to Leona, he is a paladin of the Solari. Where Leona is a tank with crowd control, Solomon is more of a healing tank, much like a paladin would be.
Solomon often speaks in Old English proverbs and mannerisms, "Lest ye be judged," and so on; things that a righteous and truth-seeking judge might say. His quotes reference mistrials, juries, objections, etc.

Lore: Solomon is one of the judges that exiled Diana. He now joins the League to team up with Leona to push Diana into the harshness of the sunlight once and for all.
His name is a somewhat obvious play on the word "Sol" which oftentimes is used as a synonym for the sun. Solomon is also a direct reference to King Solomon of Israel, revered as a wise prophet and visionary of his time.
Joke: "Where's the only place Diana stands a chance on trial? A -night- court!"
Strengths: Synergizes with health, great team utility and healing power, two forms of crowd control, deals percentage damage
Weaknesses: Does not synergize with armor/mr, shut down by grievous wounds, balanced with Spirit Visage in mind as a core item
Plays Most Like...: 
Auto Attack: Solomon uses his gavel-like mace to strike enemies in melee range.

This does not prevent the effects from dealing damage when applicable, however. This shield lasts 3 seconds once active and has an 8 second cooldown following its use or disappearance. Design Philosophy: scaling off of base health allows the ability to proc frequently even when stacking pure health, which Solomon is encouraged to do. The ability itself synergizes incredibly well with his Ultimate, and allows Solomon to either soak up valuable crowd control effects from the enemy team, or deter enemies from using these effects on him, which subsequently allows him to continue his pursuit of justice.
http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag47/Lutzburg/icons_15846_pas_zpsa045eedd.jpg Q- Persecution (7 sec): Solomon slams the ground with his mace, creating a sunburst effect around himself (roughly the range of Malphite's Ground Slam). This deals magic damage to all nearby enemies and deals 50% bonus damage to the enemy caught closest to the epicenter of the strike. In addition, affected enemies are pushed back from the epicenter of the attack and slowed by 24/28/32/36/40% for 1 second. The target closest to the epicenter of the ability is not pushed back. Rank-ups increase damage and slow amount. Sample Dialogue: "Overruled!" "Objection!" Design Philosophy: The bonus damage component allows Solomon to more easily clear jungle camps. The minor knockback is thematically similar to Diana's and allows Solomon to either disengage or push enemies towards his team when used in conjunction with his E. The isolation effect allows him to keep a priority target from getting pushed away from his team when he sees an opportunity to engage on an out-of-position priority target.
http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag47/Lutzburg/icons_13351_btn_zpsd996ae3e.jpg W- Radiant Glow (14 sec): A radiant glow surges through Solomon's armor upon activation, healing him each time he suffers damage from any source. The more damage he sustains over the 4 second active duration, the more healing he receives per attack. Rank-ups increase healing amount and lower cooldown. Design Philosophy: The increased healing based on damage taken limits the passive jungle/lane sustain from becoming too strong but provides great protection against enemy champions or objectives (towers, dragon and baron). In practice, this ability is essentially a self-cast version of Galio's Bulwark in reverse.
http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag47/Lutzburg/icons_5545_btn_zpsae2b3580.jpg E- Blinding Rush (12 sec): Solomon briefly assumes a brilliant form of light and dashes towards a target location (roughly the range of Sejuani's charge). Upon reaching his destination, the light disperses, dealing magic damage to all nearby enemies and blinding them for 1.5 seconds. The damage this ability deals scales with health. Rank-ups increase damage done and lower cooldown. Design Philosophy: The health scaling continues to synergize with Solomon's core build path. The blinding component, while mostly thematic, allows Solomon a brief window of safety once he engages so that his team can catch up and capitalize.
http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag47/Lutzburg/icons_15638_pas_zpsd3eac6b5.jpg R- Judgment Day (140 sec): Solomon opens his Book of Judgment and begins to channel for 4 seconds, citing an oath to protect the weak and indefensible while creating a large aura of sunlight around him with a 1,000 unit diameter (slightly larger than Janna's Ultimate). This eclipse drains health from all enemies within its range and converts it into health for his allies, including himself. Enemies within the area suffer magic damage equal to 3/3.5/4% (+.5% per 100 AP) of their current health every .5 seconds while the channel is active. This heals allies based on the number of enemy champions affected by the ability, between 20/30/40 (+7.5% AP) health every .5 seconds (assuming zero enemy champions in range) and 60/90/120 (+7.5% AP) health every .5 seconds (assuming three or more enemy champions in range). Solomon can be interrupted while channeling. Rank-ups increase damage/healing and lower cooldown. Design Philosophy: This ability was the original inspiration for Solomon’s design. It functions both similarly but noticeably differently from a combination of Janna and Nunu’s Ultimates. Unlike Nunu’s, the damaging component occurs over the duration of the 4 second channel, and unlike Janna’s, there is no up-front effect. The healing received by himself and his allies is proportionate to the number of enemy champions caught in the zone of judgment, ensuring that Solomon can’t simply top off his team in between skirmishes. The rest of Solomon’s kit is also designed to ensure that he can stand vigilant for the entire duration of the channel, including the crowd control immunity of his passive and the increasing heal from his W.
