Youmuu, the Traceless ( Champion concept build around the item )
I designed Youmuu as a mobile meele assassin, The ghostblade concept is assimilated within the character under the form a a sword appearing at his will, a sword wich doesn't physically wound the enemy but it harms the person's soul, thus the person dies. So there you go!

> LORE:
>_ If you ever step on Ionian lands, the rumors will definitely reach to your ears, the rumors about a swordsman so fast, so deadly that he defeated an entire legion faster than you could blink. The name of that swordsman is Youmuu. Some say he drank the blood of an oni, others that he made a pact with the dark one himself. No one knows his past, his secrets, neither his purpose. Some claim that they saw him, and lived to tell the story. They say he had no sword, quite odd for a so-called swordsman. They also say he draw the sword from thin air, a sword that pass trough armors and shields like the never existed, a sword that doesn’t cut trough flesh but trough the soul, directly. A sword that could kill every man, beast, or even the horrors beyond this world without a trace. If you ever see a man whose hair is snow white, yet his youth radiates, along with a strange chill in the air… don’t run, he will most likely get you anyway. Leaving no trace at all…_
Appearance
Youmuu would look pretty much like in the picture above. His animations would consist in Flashy movements, Basic attack would leave a faded trail behind the sword,
Background
Birthplace: Ionia Ageless
Friends: none ( he's more of a "lone wolf" archetype ) Rivals: Yasuo, Master Yi
Interaction: ( to Yasuo) All that awaits you is somber morrow, no matter where the winds may blow. ( FFVII reference :p ) (to Yi) Meditating isn't good for you, my friend... you'r soul lightens... makes it easyer for me to cut trough it
Joke: Do you know how hard is to sharpen a ghostblade !? I don't know either... mine's always sharp
Taunt: Please run, it's too easy to take you down from here.
Taunt ( to undead/ shadow isles / void-ish ): You have no soul!? no problem, we'll do the thing in the old fashion way
Gameplay
Due to his role,Youmuu, an Assassin / Fighter would easily find its place on mid or top lanes. His laning phase would revolve around aggressive playstyle, hard punishment, harass and eventually going in for the kill in the moment you find your enemy vulnerable.
As Youmuu, you would want to build ...
