Champion Concept: Arhen, The Ashen Warrior

I just thought... Maybe I´d make up a champion. For a start, nothing too flashy. Just a try. I´d leave the ability details to my betters in gameplay :) , so if someone´d bother to take the time for fleshing this out, I would be very grateful. So here we go:

Arhen, The Ashen Warrior

Lore: Arhen was born to a long line of warriors known as DeShaarj, the wardens of the Shadow Isles. So long have they been protecting the world from the dark intrusions of the place that the DeShaarj don´t even recognise themselves as idividuals, all taking the name of Arhen, the first guardian, and so his spirit lives on in the wardens to this day.

Lately, the wardens´ numbers have been dwindling, and following an outbreak of dark creatures from the Isles, the few remaining DeShaarj are separated, each with their own way of fulfilling their quest to seal the Isles off once more.

Such is the Arhen we talk stories about, who has joined the League to fight back "dark abominations," such as Evelynn, and, perhaps in the long run, to gain the power necessary to end the threat of the Isles for once and for all.

**Visuals: ** Arhen appears as a tall man wearing a rugged linen cloak on dark iron armor along with a bladelike horned helmet that covers his face. He wields a long, carved metal lance that glows red each time he attacks or uses an ability.

The Ancestral Watchers summoned by his W look like greatly transparent, sandstone-colored versions of himself. Upon using his R, his cloak burns away and the armor under it starts emitting an intense fiery light. The summoned Ancestral Warriors look like flaming spirit versions of him in this form.

Abilities

• Q: * Pyrelance: * (Active) Arhen strikes forward with his lance to deal mediocre damage in an area similar to the area of Aatrox's E. He can reactivate the ability again for a few seconds before it goes on cooldown.

• W: *Ancestry: * (Active) Arhen summons an Ancestral Watcher at the target location. It then remains there for the duration, revealing the are. If enemies approach it, it can attack the with slowing melee attacks for low damage. (The Watcher can be attacked and destroyed)

• E: *Rekindle: * (Passive) Arhen's basic attacks and Pyrelance place a stack of Blazing Ashes on the enemies hit up to a cap. (Active) Ashen detonates the stacks, damaging and slowing enemies around him based on the number of stacks they have on themselves. In addition, he gains some bonus movement speed and regains a little health.

• R: Bloodline: (Active) Arhen leaps to the target area, damaging and slowing enemies. He then summons 4 Ancestral Warriors who follow behind him in a triangular formation for a few seconds, pushing back enemies they hit. They can attack enemies with attacks similar to Ancestral Watcher's attacks. In addition, Arhen and other Ancestral Warriors gain bonus armor and magic resist for each Ancestral Warrior remaining.
