Concept Design: Levis, The Swift Deceiver

Introduction I have been thinking about creating a concept for a champion for a long while but never really had the motivation to do it. As of now this is my first design and I have some concept drawings on the way. Today I decided to finally get around to it. This is my attempt at an AD Mid Lane Assassin: Levis, The Swift Deceiver.

Inspiration Since I have decided to create an assassin, it makes sense to draw inspiration from other assassin champions, these champions being characters like Shaco or LeBlanc. I have always liked the idea of slipping in and out of a fight at will. However I never really enjoyed these champions when put into practice. Everything seemed to predictable. So the goal of my champion to is create an assassin that keeps the enemy team on their toes by a sort bait or fake engage onto a target while out putting a lot of damage.

Inspiration League of Legends is a complex game with many different roles and play-styles to consider when creating a “champion”. Since I have decided to create an assassin, it makes sense to draw inspiration from other assassin champions, these champions being characters like Shaco or LeBlanc that with the capability to deceive or trick opponents into their own demise.

Visual Description I have decided to create a male human, with a pale black complexion and of average height. To be an assassin a champion needs to be fast and deadly. So Levis will need to be quick on his feet if he is to succeed. I have concluded that I want Levis to be around his mid-twenties. He would wear defined clothing with acute designs. His weapon of choice will be sharp brass knuckles for a more deadly and personal confrontation. In terms of his face Levis would best suit a rugged look with keen eyes and defined features; such as sharp eyebrows and cheekbones.

Traits and Personality I have advocated to create a champion with a Bi-polar disorder. I believe this will create an engaging character that will provide an interesting development in to the already existing pool of champions. So with this in mind Levis, while in lane or roaming could be fun and attentive, (cocky in a sense) while going in for a pick or team fight could change into this destructive personality killing his opponents with savage attacks.

Lore It was just regular contract, my last… “client” for the day. He wasn't one of the regulars but that was fine. It made it all the more exciting to see a fresh pair of eyes. I ran through the usual routine with him, sculling beers and singing songs, even some coin for the "locals" but he wasn't like the rest. He got bored, almost too quickly. The funny thing was... when I finally told him the truth, he didn’t beg or plead or even try to bargain. He just stood there. I shrugged it off. He was just off his horse. As I walked towards him, he cocked a smile at me. "Thanks for the beers," he whispered under his breath. I stopped, my fists clenched. He was using me. He leaned closer to me and looked me right in the eyes, he knew he was going to die tonight. “I hope it was worth it… kid.” To think, that he already knew that he had his last drop of whiskey and his last barmaid of his miserable life! I lunged at him pinning him down, I searched for the fear in eyes, like I did with so, so many others. But there was none. I yelled, bashing his ugly mug in. “This was meant to be my game!” “I’m going to make you suffer!” Heh…. I guess, he really wasn't like the others. But he bled like they did...
