Hello guys/girls. I thought of this character while I was at work on the job. He's a heavy AD Guan Dao user with AOE(ish) melee power and great push potential. I came up with all the moves myself and I'm very proud of him so far. My goal was to make a nice bursty Melee champ who isn't reliant on attack speed or AA's, and is more focused on AD casting rather than basic attacks, but still an up in your face type of guy. With that being said, his Ability ratio's are a little high, but I think he should be classified as a fighter because of his durability. PLEASE UP VOTE IF YOU ENJOYED THIS CONCEPT
Role:
Primary: Fighter Secondary: None
Usage: Offensive Threat,Top Lane, Split-Pusher, potential Jungler

LORE
A tall stalwart man walks towards a group of Ionian women and children, a serrated blade-edged whip slowly drops from his left hand and a small platoon of his soldiers stand behind him and watch was he begins to speak.
"Stupid Ionian's... they're so focused on their views of PEACE and ENLIGHTENMENT that they never focus on whats going on in the real world. It doesn't matter, soon the job will be done and this village will be ours."
-The soldiers start to laugh and talk gibberish about what they're going to do after they take over the area... -Suddenly, a little Ionian boy breaks away from his elder's constraint. He frees himself from the group of innocents, and steps in between the brute and his loved ones with a small knife in hand...
-The large man begins to give a sinister laugh. Mocking the young child he says, "Don't do it boy! It's not worth your life! HAHAHAHA-"
-Just then, everyone paused and turned towards the village alley where a noise was heard. It was the sound of steel hitting the floor; and dragging against rock and dirt. A shadowy figure began to come closer toward the platoon of savages, eventually making his was between the boy and the brute. Nudging the boy behind him he uttered to the man,
"You know nothing about worth! But I do. I also know your wanted here; 1700 gold I believe..."
" -The barbarian taunted. You've got your facts all wrong Ionian! How can you be sure it's me?"
"I'm not Ionian; however the Ionian Emperor who hired me let me know that their are about four wanted criminals in the area that use whips. I'm here because you are who I'm looking for, the strongest and most valuable. Don't get me wrong, I do it for the money... but the real payment is in the challenge of the opponent... and you are definitely worth that payment. Now prepare to die, because returning you alive isn't in my contract!"
-The barbarian's eyes grew wide as he seen the brash mercenary grip his guan-dao readily. He nervously shouted, "B-But you said there are four guys! How do you know if I'm the righ---"
-The Mercenary darted forward; and before anyone knew what happened his blade was deeply rooted in the pillager's chest, slowly pushing him back toward the platoon of soldiers who stood behind him. The mercenary gave his target a stern look in the eyes and replied,
"Only one of the four is left handed!"
The blade was withdrawn from the man with ease, only to be whirled around one last time, executing the remaining threats. After wiping his blade, Ian (The Mercenary) reached in his adversaries pouches for any valuables. He found lots of gold coin as well as a shiny bracelet which he removed from the leader's arm.
"Now that that's out of the way, I can finally see what's going on outside of the country..."
He turned toward the family who had watched the whole fight in the corner. He tossed the village elder the bags of coin, and handed the brave young boy the bracelet. After a brief moment, Ian picked up the lifeless body and threw it over his shoulder. Nonchalantly he murmured...
-"I have to return this body to my Lord, you all should go back to in your homes... get some rest..."

Subsequent abilities after the initial Wound will further decrease MS by 10 and grant Ian 10 MS. This passive only stacks 3 times (Max MS decrease -40) but Ian gains more MS if Multiple Champions are hit.
Q: Rending Slash A hard slash that deals 70/100/130//160/190 (+1.2 Bonus AD)(+Maximum Mercenary's Reward Bonus) to a target and cleaves nearby enemy targets as well.

This ability would operate a bit like Lucian's "Q" because while selecting a unit target, a horizontal area is still effected by the slash if they were to be in range.
W: Bountiful Gain Passive: Ian will Mark the highest valued (The enemy who is worth the most Gold for killing) target(s) within 800 radius. If more than one target is worth the same amount of Gold when killed, all targets will be marked. Ian takes 25% less damage from those marked targets. Active: Ian prepares himself for further confrontation, gaining a damage shield equal to 50/110/170/230/290 (+ Maximum/Highest Mercenary's Reward gold bonus) and allowing Rending Slash and Thrust to have range (gap closing properties) on Marked targets (only).

Cost: 50 Energy Cooldown: 8 at all ranks Type: Single-Target spell Range: 150
R: Mercenary's Reward PASSIVE- Ian takes 20% Of the Gold Value from enemy champion kills or assist and stores it for bonuses on abilities. Ian only uses the Maximum bonus from this effect and multiple kills do not stack. The passives damage is lost after Ian dies or uses his Ult. Example: If you "Shutdown" an enemy 3 times (500g per shutdown); Then his Bonus Damage/Shield is only increased by 100 (20% of 500) and not 300
Ian gains 250% Movement speed an 99% Tenacity as he runs to a enemy Champion. During the charge Ian loses 40 energy per second until reaching his target (Maximum of 5 seconds of running without Runes or Masteries). While chasing the opponent, Ian will have Truesight on them but cannot enter any commands until the target is reached. When he gets to them, he does a very hard slash through the opponent and deals 250/300/350 (+ 100% Total Attack Damage) (+ Maximum/Highest Mercenary's Reward gold bonus), returning 50 energy and inflicting them with the Wounded debuff. Also, the total ULT last 5 seconds after the strike. Granting Truesight on the target 50% Movement when running towards the opponent for the duration.
Cost: 0 Energy (to activate) Cooldown: 120/90/60 Type: Steroid Range: 1750 **IMPORTANT NOTES: ** Think of this as a Melee version Caitlyn's Ultimate, except Ian cannot go over terrain and must take the auto-run path to the opponent. The quicker you hit the opponent, the more beneficial. If an opponent outruns Ian after activation it cancel Mercenary's Reward

Recommended Trinket:
Reasons- The Farsight Orb is a great tool because- A. The opponent jukes you and you know where they are but you just need vision to use you Ult to catch up. B. You're fighting a Mage who ran into a brush to gain cooldown time so they can to CC you... Farsight the Brush and use your Ult to close the gap. C. It's a great Clairvoyance replacement D. Since your only Non-Ult ability that gives mobilty is only a 25% buff... Farsight Orb can be used so you dont have to face-check as much.
