Concept For New Champion: Vhokruul, thy Name is Destruction

LORE

Every 20,000 years a comet passes the plane of Runeterra. It is said that when this comet passes, the color red floods the fields. There are few alive who have seen the comet, but they could tell you of its magnificence. Many superstitions have arose concerning the comet. Some civilizations saw it as a sign of turmoil, and collapsed in anarchy. Some began to question its origins. Still, others asked: What is it?

Very long ago, while the planes were still relatively formless, very powerful beings constantly battled. These great beings commanded great powers, great magic that is never-ending, and so large it is still unobserved. These titans destroyed each other, and their destroyed remains scattered into a young universe.

Vhokruul was one such titan. With the grip of his fist, he created large vacuums of black fire. His face bore only eyes, and his stare was a shrill scream that devoured all material. Vhokruul fell to Dahmigon in an epic standoff. For millennia, the two battled. Vhokruul was tasting victory. With Dahmigon captured in his hellish vacuum, Vhokruul began to tear at him with sharp screams and abyssal acid. Dahmigon seemed defeated, but as Vhokruul began to charge his executing blow- Dahmigon blasted him in the chest with a resounding blast. The energy cast out Vhokruul's soul, turning it into heavy stone.

The titans have long been vanquished. Dahmigon, the last Titan, fell to the force of his fallen brethren- their deaths having been to powerful, and massive for him to remain. But, the soul of Vhokruul is beginning to awaken. Barely alive, he begins to transform his soul into his image. And the comet is soon approaching.

"I feel...so weak." -Vhokruul, upon taking form from his soul

GAMEPLAY

Vhokruul is a unique powerhouse. He maintained his image, but is incredibly weaker than he was many, many years ago. But, he is still strong. Building armor is extremely beneficial: Vhokruul has very low base armor, but has massive gains from armor bonuses. Vhokruul isn't the greatest tank, and he isn't the greatest spell caster: but he is still great at both. Vhokruul isn't the type to pick up a quick kill, he slowly eats away his enemies- with good sustain and endless DOT. Vhokruul can be good for a few roles. However, he wouldn't fit well as ADC, or Jungle. ADC: Vhokruul doesn't have the range or damage output. Risk: VERY HIGH Jungle: Vhokruul might be too slow with his kills to be a decent Jungle champ. Risk: HIGH Mid: Vhokruul can out-sustain most enemy mid champs, but lacks the punch. Risk: Medium Top: Vhokruul's kit makes him a very viable top champ. Risk: Low Support: Vhokruul is destructive, and might conflict with your ADC early game. Risk: Low-Medium

Class: Dark Paladin

ABILITIES Passive: Suicide Solution

ability lore The ancient beings used their own essence for their powerful attacks, and consumed everything they touched to sustain themselves (which was mostly other titans). ability trivia Named from the song by Ozzy. I think it fits. ability Vhokruul's basic attacks restore a small amount of health. Vhokruul's abilities cost health, and Vhokruul has 2 bars of Health. When Vhokruul consumes Health from his secondary bar to cast an ability, that ability gains additional effects. *note, Vhokruul does not have additional Health-instead, his base Health is divided into 2 separate bars.

Q- Electric Hellfire

ability lore Vhokruul used this move to subdue Dahmigon in their epic battle. It is described as a vacuum of hellish black flames that crash like lightning. ability trivia Named from the song by Black Label Society. I think it fits. ability Vhokruul creates a hellish void on target enemy. The void is a cone that emerges between Vhokruul and the target. The target is slowly pulled to the back of the cone, taking magic damage each second. bonus If Vhokruul casts Electric Hellfire from his second bar of Health, he creates a hellish void on target enemy. The void centers on target, and pulls in all enemies in AOE to the center. Targeted enemy becomes rooted for the duration. Enemies in the AOE take magic damage each second.

W- Toxicity

ability lore Vhokruul devoured enemies that dared to attack him. Dahmigon was still suffering the acidic effects of Vhokruul's defenses after their battle, and met his doom this way. ability trivia Named from the song by System of a Down. I think it fits. ability Vhokruul glows. For the duration, Vhokruul redirects a % of damage received back to the attacker. bonus If Vhokruul casts Toxicity from his second bar of Health, attackers receive redirected damage and become marked until they stop attacking for a few seconds. Marked enemies take additional damage over time based on Vhokruul's bonus armor.

E- Domination

ability lore They eyes of Vhokruul are his deadliest feature. They appear as bright white elliptical orbs, and they split open with a wrenching grind and unleash a terrible scream that pulverizes, and shreds. ability trivia Named from the Song by Pantera. I think it fits. ability Active- Vhokruul emits a terrible sound, audible only in the cone of the ability. Enemies in the cone take minor magic damage each second, and have their armor reduced for the duration. This ability remains active until Vhokruul re-activates it. bonus If Domination consumes Health from Vhokruul's secondary bar, enemies become 'burned' for the duration and a few seconds after, taking magic damage each second based on the amount of Armor reduced.

Ultimate- Eruption

ability lore Vhokruul devastated many foes with his terrible consumption. Dahmigon stopped Vhokruul before he unleashed the terror, but not soon enough. Vhokruul destroyed himself. Dahmigon's attack wasn't fatal, but left Vhokruul too weak to contain the energy of his attack. The result was catastrophic.. but is also what kept Vhokruul alive all this time... ability trivia Named for the guitar solo by Eddie VanHalen. I think it fits. ability Vhokruul charges, creating an AOE of 'Electric Hellfire' around him. This AOE works like "Electric Hellfire', but will pull enemies more slowly- giving them more of a chance to escape. When Vhokruul finishes this 'channeling', he consumes the Health cost and he emits a very large wave 360 degrees around him. This wave deals magic damage to enemies hit. Vhokruul will consume small amounts of Health as he channels, and consumes a lot of Health after. bonus If the Health consumed to use Eruption kills Vhokruul, the ability's range is decreased, and Vhokruul hardens into solid rock. For a few seconds, Vhokruul has his entire Secondary bar restored, and has % increase to his bonus armor. After a few seconds, Vhokruul emerges with whatever Health he had left, and a larger cooldown on this effect. This cooldown will be represented above the spells, to the left- like all secondary cooldowns.
