Vex the Distorted Melody
Lore (It's Long): Once upon a time, there was a little girl named Vex who had lived in an un-explored region in Runeterra with her father. Vex was an interesting girl, she was obsessed with music boxes and kept an impressive collection of them. Her father was a hard working man who often brought her home many of these boxes from different people all in Runeterra. Her father would often travel and leave Vex at home alone, trusting her independence that she wouldn't go out and do anything un-responsible. This made the girl grow a bond and friendship with her music boxes. The first one she ever got was what got her into this rather strange hobby. Her mother had given her a music box, having a soothing melody to it, but unfortunately, Vex's mother has died mysteriously a few years after the girl was born. Ever since her mother had died, Vex hadn't touched the box since. On one particular day, her father had came home with another woman he had met, and she too had a young daughter. Years had passed, Vex was now 12 years old and her and the other girl had become very close. Her father had married the woman in that time-span, and since Vex was getting older and loved her new mother and sister very much, she paid alot less attention to her music boxes. One night when Vex was sleeping in her room with her step-sister Aura, she heard a voice calling out to her with a familiar tune of a music box playing. She awoke, rubbed her eyes and couldn't believe what she saw. It was her mother, arms extended out to her with a warm and welcoming smile. The tune that was playing was the same exact one Vex had heard when she was younger, when she had first listened to the box. The girl couldn't believe it, and immediately arose from her bed running over to her mother. She cried and hugged her, but was only welcomed with a sinister laughter in return. Vex pulled back only to see a presence that was not her mother, but was more evil and insidious. It grabbed onto her, pulling her toward the end of the room. Vex cried out, first awakening Aura, then her step-mother and father. The mother and father ran into the room only to be met with an unfortunate fate, their lives swiftly were taken from the creature with one slash of its nails. Aura cried and gave Vex a chilling confession before she was slaughtered "I didn't mean to open it Vex im sorry! I was just so curious.. after you told me what happened with your mother! I didn't know this would happen Vex what is happening?!" Vex screamed, Aura's and her parents blood sprayed on her, she kicked and cried out louder being drug closer and closer to the creature. The tune was not welcoming an soothing as before like she remembered, it was sinister and distorted and what came out of the music box was the dark figure, almost like it was a vessel to keep it locked in there. "Hello again little one, I've been waiting for this day." The creature had spoke, grinning widely, it's face close to Vex's at this point. "Shut your filthy tongue! What do you want from me?!" Vex cried out. "To make you suffer for all these years about the loss of your mother, I almost pitied you when I saw you locked up in your room. Now I have claimed everyone you loved that was left." The being laughed more, the notes of the music box growing louder, almost deafening. "Argh! What do you want with me?! Why me?!" Vex screamed, tears running down her face. "To make you the new vessel, girl. You have lost your mind at this point, everyone you love is gone, there's nothing left for you but me." Suddenly, all the boxes played their music all at once, driving Vex to the brink of insanity. The girl had lifted her head up with a twisted smile, and let out an un-nerving giggle. "Kill me then, there's nothing left but the tunes from the music box. If you won't do it I will then!" Vex had completely lost her mind and will to live at this point due to the creatures over-bearing influence. The creature humored her by ending her life quickly before fading away, never to be seen again. The girls spirit drifted into the music box her mother gave her, the box closing afterwards. Her soul is asleep peacefully enjoying the sweet now distorted tunes, being the new vessel of the box. Years passed, the home being abandoned with no bodies or evidence anyone had died there. The only things left in the house was just one old and dusty golden music box, A merchant, who often seeks out abandoned homes to salvage anything of value has made his way to the residence. He came at night and searched the house endlessly, then becoming annoyed that he hadn't found anything. He took his chances to check the last room, which was Vex's room which was drowned out with darkness. He lit his lantern, and behold! There was indeed something of value in this dark and dusty house! He snickered as he picked up the music box, then made his way out of the house after checking if there was anything else. He made his way back to his shop, and tinkered with the box in attempts to restore it. Instead, he unhinged the top unable to put it back on due to the boxes age. Then suddenly, the box revealed its distorted sinister tune Vex and her family had heard before they died. The man covered his ears screaming before he fell lifeless. The vengeful and mad spirit Vex was awoken, unable to sleep again.
Abilities: Before I get into the abilities, I will talk about what the sound is like when she casts them. (Q) Her music box sounds more distorted then goes back to the default sound it would make when she is walking after it is cast (same goes for her other abilities). (W) Tune is more innocent than the default. (E) The tune starts to slow down with the notes. (R) Vex giggles and the music box's tune starts to play faster but some of the notes are broken and don't register, very eerie sounding.
