LORE

At the peak of Shuriman civilization, much knowledge was collected and stored in the Capital. Scholars from all over sought the wisdom kept in this glorious city, but few were granted access to the sacred knowledge of Shurima. Within the Capital, a great and wise Ascendant kept refuge within the heavy walls of the empire's greatest library. His name was Occultes.

Occultes was the keeper of all knowledge and wisdom that passed through Shurima. Some questioned whether or not Occultes even existed. Upon his Ascension, Occultes was granted incredible insight. He could read large tomes and scrolls within seconds, and learned fervently from them. Occultes' wisdom was unprecedented. He learned from everything, and what he learned was incredible. So he kept himself locked away, surrounded in the knowledge of the world. Only the wisest of men were allowed entry into the library, and fewer still were allowed into the deepest reaches. As such, Occultes became known only by name; a rumor in the sandy winds. Those who had seen him were too important to verify his existence, such as the great Emperor Azir.

Occultes was the word of wisdom among other Ascendants. Though he kept hidden from society, he was highly respected. Occultes saw the nature of Xerath, and warned against his Ascension- saying that it would be premature. But, not even the wisest mind could come between Shurima and its sacred ritual. Occultes was stored away in his chambers when Xerath ascended. Convinced he had done all he could by warning Azir, Occultes stayed in the Great Library while the city was buried. The Great Library was mostly destroyed, except the lowest levels where the wise Ascendant took refuge. Five stories of grand architecture laid atop Occultes' chambers. And there he stayed for many years, reading, and re-reading sacred tomes and books.

After a long time, Occultes began to feel fulfilled of the knowledge available. He began to stir, feeling a sense of worthlessness. With nothing else to learn, he emerged from his dungeon with a new mission- the knowledge and wisdom of the rest of the world. It wasn't long before he learned of Ryze, and the mysterious and powerful scroll the mage kept. Occultes rushed off to the League of Legends in search of this scroll, and any other wisdom he could find along the way.

Trivia

• The Great Library of Occultes is drawn from the island of Alexandria. Alexander the Great witnessed the greatness of Egypt, and built a great city on an island between the two nations that would store all the knowledge of the world.
• In Avatar, the Last Air Bender there is also such a library- which is also kept by an owl- which also sinks to the sands.

Abilities note: There are no values included due to balancing.

Passive- Wise Ascendant Occultes learns more quickly than others. Minion or monster deaths grant Occultes small bonus experience. Upon champion kill or assist, Occultes is granted more bonus experience. At level 18, Occultes' maximum CDR is increased by 5%, and he gains +5% CDR.

Q- Ascendant's Magic active- Occultes fires a pulse from his staff. The pulse damages all enemies hit, and gives Occultes a charge for every enemy hit. passive- Occultes' basic attacks consume charges from Lost Magic. If Occultes' consumes a charge, his basic attack becomes a smaller pulse (larger than normal attack, but smaller than active ability). Charged attacks deal additional magic damage and restore a small amount of mana.

W- Stern Study active- Occultes targets an enemy within range. As long as enemy remains in range, or until the ability ends, or until re-activating the ability, Occultes studies his enemy's behavior. The enemy under study deals less damage to nearby allies, and even less damage to Occultes. When the ability ends, the enemy becomes marked for a short time. passive- When an ability of marked enemy's comes off cooldown, it is unavailable for an extra amount of time.

E- All Knowing Occultes gains increased vision and can see invisible units, for a shirt time. Activating All Knowing increases the range of Stern Study. This effect can be used before, or after casting Stern Study. note: Invisible units include those taking cover in brush. However, Occultes is still effected by abilities that remove vision- Quinn, Graves, Nocturne, etc.)

Ultimate- Infinite Learning/ Ancient Wisdom Occultes has access to his Ultimate at level 1. passive- Infinite Learning: Enemy spell casts give Occultes a stack of Infinite Learning. Occultes gains bonus Magic Resistance based on his stacks of Infinite Learning. active- Ancient Wisdom: Occultes begins to chant an ancient hymn for a short time. Enemies in AOE range are silenced, have their movement speed reduced, and take moderate magic damage. If Occultes becomes attacked while the spell is active, the spell stops. If an enemy within the spell's effects attacks Occultes, the spell stops and Occultes takes reduced damage and stuns the enemy for a brief moment.

Movement/Style

Movement: Occultes flies low to the ground, like Kayle. He stands upright while moving. His left hand drops to his side. Standing: While he isn't moving, he widens his stance by stepping back with his right foot/ dactyl. He keeps his left hand rubbing his chin. Attacking: He wields a magnificent golden staff, his basic attacks cause him to stand upright and raise his staff in front of him. Ascendant's Magic: When Occultes casts Ascendant's Magic, he thrusts his staff forward to emit the pulse. His basic attacks that consume charges will have smaller pulse animations, whether he thrust the staff or raises it depends on which is easier to script- but for imaginary purposes, his staff would raise like any normal basic attack. Stern Study: Occultes raises a circle around him, and a line is illustrated between him and his target. All Knowing: Occultes bursts his wings outward, and his vision expands. Invisible enemies become ghostly in appearance to Occultes and allies. Infinite Learning: Occultes will either 'coo' or 'hmm' when he gains a stack. Ancient Wisdom: Occultes bows his head, and has both hands holding his staff in front of him. He sings an ancient hymn that might sound something like Yi meditating, but with different notes. A circle is illustrated around him, and sound waves pulse from him for the duration. Dancing: Occultes bobs his head, then turns around still bobbing his head, and repeats.

Dialogue

Selection "Zero groups of zero things is to not have nothing. If not nothing, what is 0 x 0?" Movement "Hmmm" Attacking "Ah!" "So it is." Laugh (I imagine Owl from Winney the Pooh) Taunt Occultes doesn't have a taunt. Joke "Did you hear the one about..." Stops, rubs his chin and begins laughing.
