[Champion Concept] Sanguine, The Silver Prince

Sanguine, The Silver Prince Fighter/Support

Abilities (Passive) Chilled Blade: Sanguine's basic attacks apply stacks of Creeping Frost. The stacks last a few seconds, and drop off one at a time. At three stacks, the stacks are consumed, dealing damage, and applying a brief slow and bleeding DOT. Once triggered, Creeping Frost cannot be reapplied to the target for a few seconds.

(Q) Silver Lance: Sanguine hurls an ice shard a short distance in a target direction, dealing damage to all enemies it hits. For a couple seconds after being struck, enemies receive a speed boost moving towards Sanguine, and are slowed moving away from him.

(W) Swarm of Bats: Sanguine turns into a swarm of bats, becoming untargetable and covering a medium area for several seconds. He can still move in this form. All enemies in the swarm are dealt damage over time and slowed. All allies in the swarm receive a speed boost, and allied champions in the swarm also receive a shield.

(E) Traverse Shadow: Sanguine dashes to a target enemy, damaging them and applying nearsighted to the target. If the target is bleeding from Chilled Blade, Traverse Shadow can be triggered from further away, and stuns instead of applying nearsight.

(R) Lord of Havoc: Passively, Sanguine's Swarm of Bats heals him and allied champions provided an enemy is taking damage from the ability. When activated, Sanguine transforms into an armored humanoid bat. In this form he gains bonus attack damage, attack speed, health, increased lifesteal and movement speed, and a brief shield. While in his bat form, Sanguine's health slowly decays, though he can heal from his own lifesteal and ally abilities, extending the duration, and earning kills or assists also restores 5% of his maximum health. If Sanguine takes lethal damage in bat form, either from foes or his own draining health, he becomes untargetable for a couple seconds and heals to 150% of his health and mana from when he triggered the ability.

Backstory: Sanguine's past is a mystery. He first revealed himself two centuries ago, taking part in a battle between two Shuriman clans. Since then he has wandered the world, fighting for anyone with enough coin to buy his interest. As more details of his skills comes to light, mysteries of the past millennium suddenly have a likely culprit. Rumors surface of a pale warrior who gained a sword and power from the Frozen Watchers. Whether the tales have any truth to them remains to be seen. So far, none who have asked Sanguine directly have survived the encounter.

Gameplay: In game, Sanguine is a melee fighter. Tough enough to hold a lane on his own, he is at his best when working with a partner who can take advantage of his slows and stun. Sanguine's biggest weakness is lack of escape. His Swarm of Bats can get him out of trouble if timed right, but if caught while it's on cooldown he has few options. Despite this, Sanguine is not to be underestimated, as he is quite capable of exploiting his own openings to burn his enemy down and out.

Appearance: Sanguine is dressed in silver armor, a combination of plate and chain. Rubies are studded at shoulders, chest, forearms, and knees. His head is uncovered, save for a silver circlet with an inlaid ruby. His hair is white, and his face pale. His face holds a callous cruelty, denoting a man who could massacre a village with little more than a chuckle. A white cape hangs from his shoulders, and a scabbard on his right hip. He holds his sword in his right hand. The sword is a slim straight sword, with black runes on both sides of the blade and a ruby pommel.
