Zenith, The scourge of Demacia

When you break a man you leave a dangerous foe. When the man who became Zenith returned to demacia from Noxus he expected a warm welcome Instead his family was slaughtered in front of his eyes as he was declared a traitor. Now he lurks the city's of demacia, using lethal Ionian shadow magic to orchestrate the destruction of cities and the deaths of millions Wrapped in a cloak forged from pure shadows he waits for an opportunity to tear Demacia from its Zenith

Passive: Unwavering Broken shield: whenever Zenith casts an ability a shield is created in front of him which absorbs damage until it breaks if Zenith uses an ability while a shield is active the shield breaks and the ability is empowered the shield is instantly destroyed if Zenith is hit by a turret shot Shadow arts: whenever an a champion dies Zenith will gain a brutality stack if it is an enemy champion and a heroism stack if it is an allied champion if a champion dies nearby the stacks gained will be multiplied by 10

whenever a brutality stack is gained a Heroism stack is lost and vice versa

Brutality stacks increase Zeniths Attack damage, Attack speed, and movement speed. if Zenith has 70 brutality stacks he will gain unending brutality. if zenith uses a basic attacks a champion below 15% maximum health he will channel for 4 seconds (decreased the lower their health is) before he executes them. upon gaining unending Brutality Zenith will lose all Heroism stacks and cannot gain any more

Heroism stacks increase your defense, magic resistance, and movement speed. if zenith has 70 Heroism stacks he will gain purity. if zenith attacks a champion above 75% maximum health he will knock them up. upon gaining Purity Zenith loses all brutality stacks and cannot gain any more

the damage and healing for zeniths ability's are influenced by his Heroism and Brutality stacks

**Q: Shadow force ** Zenith dash's in a line knocking up all enemies he comes into contact with and leaving a shadow at his original position his next basic attack gains increased range and causes both him and his shadow to dash to the target knocking up(if he has more heroism stacks than brutality) or dealing Aoe damage(if he has more brutality stacks than heroism ) if the ability is empowered Zenith can recast Shadow force multiple time before it goes on cooldown (all shadows will dash at the target)

W: Eclipse Zenith calls upon ancient shadow magic to create a temporary eclipse within a zone, damaging and limiting the vision of enemies and healing and granting an attack damage boost for allies. the zone last for 6 seconds and damages enemies within when it disappears if the ability is Empowered the zone is bigger, lasts for 10 seconds, and the healing and damage increase over time

E: Abyssal Blast
Zenith channels for a few seconds before sending out a blast of shadow magic in a cone. Enemies hit are terrified and have their armor reduced for 4 seconds
If this ability is Empowered a mark is applied to all champions hit. all damage taken during this period is stored and 25% of it is dealt again at the end of the duration. also grants a attack speed buff to allied champions

Ultimate: Might of the shadows Passive: this champion gains momentum after moving in the same direction for a few seconds. while above 25% maximum momentum this champion experiences a movement speed increase that increase that increases with momentum.if this champion stops moving or changes direction momentum will be lost (momentum is the secondary resource bar)

Active: After channeling for 5 seconds (lowered based on current momentum) Zenith leaps into the air and creates a giant shadow avatar to surround him. then gains enough momentum to completely fill the bar and charges in a single direction (decided upon when the ability is cast) draining momentum constantly during the charge. he can pass through terrain and creates shock waves wherever he steps. These deal damage, knock up, and execute all champions bellow 15% maximum health. champions directly in the area that he steps on are knocked aside, dealt true damage, and executed if they are below 20% maximum health. Zenith can recast the ability to smash the ground dealing damage and knocking up based on current momentum as well as his brutality and heroism stacks

Zenith cannot cast abilities and is visible over terrain during the charge

Lore Born in a city within Demacia to an Ionian storyteller and a poor farmer whose family had come from Ionia long ago, the boy who would become Zenith was enchanted by his fathers skill with words was so great that he seemed to create pictures out words and shadows. after hours of listening to his father's masterpieces he would dream of far off lands. while his sister was fascinated by the wonders of Zaun and Piltover that their father placed in her head the boy was awed by the place that his father Called Noxus. The boy envied those who lived in a land where if you worked hard you could rise to the top. For a child living in a world where you were bound to the rank you were born with, no matter how hard you worked, this seemed like a paradise. the boy would rush through his meals so he could listen to his father stories. even though his mother was one of the finest cooks in the city she was unable to get some paying work due to rumors that she weaved shadows into the food she cooked the boy swore that he would improve life for his family. When the boy grew into a man he tried to depart for Noxus. however when he tried to leave the city walls the Demacian military stopped him. they questioned him and when they found he was going to Noxus the corrupt officers threw him in a cell. He was able to escape out a window and they did not question him about where he lived, but this indecent began to open this mans eyes to the true nature of Demacia. After several years the man had become successful in Noxus and returned home to his family in Demacia the soldiers recognized him and threw him in a cell deep within the earth. after 7 days the weak man was dragged to a podium where his parents were held. A cruel man stood at the front of the podium holding a sword. with a wicked grin he launched into a speech that fully opened the mans eyes to the cruelty of the nation of Demacia. As the speech ended the man hefted his sword and severed his parents heads from their bodies. The man's rage unlocked something deep within the broken recesses of his mind. Ancient Ionian shadow techniques flooded his mind and ancient voices tried to consume him. but the pure rage that had consumed the man crushed the spirits. the man tore off his chains and smashed a executioners head and relived him of his ceremonial shield before turning his rage on the rest of the city that had done nothing while one of its citizen's had been wrongly executed. the mans rage was endless and he barely listened to the pleas for mercy from his former neighbors. he eventually stormed the castle that overlooked the city and demanded that the lord of the land tell him why they slaughtered his parents. the lord stammered about how they were nothing but filthy Ionians and the city was glad to be rid of magic users like them. as his rage peaked the man removed the lords head with a single blow from his stolen shield and turned his rage and the ruins of the once great city. when the dust settled the entire city had been destroyed. forging a cloak out of shadows the man vowed to not use his own name until the day that Demacia burned to the ground. he swore to destroy a country whose power was at its peak, and so to create his own Zenith the man sought to crush an empire. whenever a Demacian city reaches the peak of its power Zenith uses his shadow magic to bring them down to earth.
