Zirus, the Living Armory of Toxins
LORE
In the City of Privileges, where many boast their alchemical achievements and advancements. One lad had returned to his home from the island of Ionia just across the ocean from Zaun. With him he brought aspirations, and new concepts. In Ionia he tried his hand at the art of swordsmanship but each fight his blade would be shattered by the masters of the sword. The lad sat down in his laboratory sketching artwork and testing substances until he at last created a new compound material.
The lad held up the stone he birthed and deemed it, "Neocapcity Material". The scientist then proceeded to melt down the material into a liquid substance. The boy leaned towards the frothing material, and smiled at his accomplishment. His smile soon faded, as the boiling material lurched forth and erupted in front of his face. The scientist was launched backwards, as the flaming substance lunged off the counter and slithered down the unconscious scientist's throat.
Months passed, and a tourist boat arrived to Ionia. Aboard the boat was nothing but corpses each slashed open with toxic ooze leaking from their lacerations. Ionian swordsmen from the makeshift constabulary set out to find the tourist who dare lay waste to others who were innocently sailing to this precious island. Alas, when they thought they had cornered the culprit, it was they who were cornered. Purple araments plunged through their necks. They were all impaled upon poisonous, sentient weaponry that hissed and bubbled. Their bodies left to wither on the shore of Ionia.
The lust of killing that the culprit felt was immense. This culprit, this madman scientist, now an explosive master of toxic weaponry. His body completely composed of Neocapcity matter. Zirus. The Living Armory of Toxins. He joined the league to satisfy his bloodlust, and to boast his newfound powers.
TL;DR
Zirus was a scientist from Zaun. He took a journey to Ionia to master the arts of the sword, but failed because his swords were too weak, and would always break in a fight. Zirus, deafeated, but full of determination crafted a potent, and living material called Neocapcity which while he was attempting to further examine had attacked him and possessed his body. The susbtance used his lingering conscious to board a ship to Ionia and slay all the passengers out of bloodlust. Ionian swordsmen pursued Zirus and tried to kill him, but he was too strong for them and they were all killed. Zirus then joined the league to satisfy his bloodlust, and boast his new powers. The end!

With every unit he lands on while bouncing those 1500 units, they get silenced and poisoned. If Zirus travels the full 1500 units, at the end of his bouncing he explodes, poisoning, and burning those in the radius. Zirus also deals true damage based on how much neocapcity material he had in his secondary bar to those inside the radius. If he had more than half he deals 700 true damage. If he had less than half but more than none he deals 400 true damage. If he had none at all, then he does 300 true damage. The explosion releases shrapnel that also deal 100% of his physical damage.
