[Champion Concept] Cazui, the Broken Souls
(I also apologize for my English)
#Concept/Idea: Cazui (the C is like a "c" sound, not a "k") is a champion who is "broken" by the sense that she has kind of two "souls" she is basically "two person" in one, but they are unable to be fully one. She would probably introduce a new "day and night" mechanic, that would either be only indicated in some form of icon or such OR by actually having the map change lighting from day to night along with twilight and sunrise_ (difference at night would be, that the vision or the "highlighted" area you see around your champion/minions/wards/constructs would be not highlighted, it would be seem to be the same as if it would be the fog of war, except you still see the same things, but it is simply not highlighted on the whole map for everyone. It would affect allies and enemies, the whole map and "twilight and sunrise" would be the transition of this vision getting it back or being gone)_, OR both of them. Her kit and abilities partially change depending on the day/night cycle along with her visuals. Herself being a relatively young person (around the age of 25 maybe), seemingly she is just a goofy trainee who tries to learn how to use swords and acts a little goofy in the deceptive way, while she also mocks other champions and acts like she has no idea how to properly use a sword or handle it so she just simply uses the sword in very "different ways" to do more raw damage. During night time she disguises herself by throwing away the bright coat she wears, and under that she wears a dark outfit and puts on her mask and takes out the two hidden daggers she wears, during the night she turns into a more precise and swift assassin. Her normal abilities have different effects during Day and Night, however her ultimate receives different effects to the whole day-night cycle.
#Appearance: As mentioned in her concept, she "normally" as in during the day, she wears a bright colored or simply white coat-like thing that she wears loosely on herself along with some rather simple clothing. To give an example as of how she wears it, I could rather just say imagine a gender-bent Sir Crocodile from the One Piece series http://i.imgur.com/5PLFHYh.jpg this is as for clothing, of course.
When she changes her "personality" (day to night) she visually as in for animation she simply creates a puff of smoke and throws away her "daytime clothing" along with her sword and this way reveals the black suit she wears under those, which kind of looks similar to this below and carries two daggers:

The reversed animation, as in to day from night, it's like the wind would blow her coat to her and so she puts it on while simply another puff of smoke happens for a moment as she dons her clothes back aaand I have no idea how to get back the sword realistically, but many thing could work probably.
#Lore concept:
(this is really just my idea, but I'm quite bad at LoL lore)
Back in time Cazui was not one person, but twin sisters called Cazu and Izui were born in Ionia. Izui was interested in the Kinku Order and so, later she joined them to train. She was more perceptive, observant and very precise. She was also rather stubborn and kind of reckless, she wanted to finish what she started. Eventually she had to leave the Order since, because of her personality, they didn't find her suitable for the Order's duties. The other sister, Cazu, were able to learn techniques quickly with different type of swords, however she was a rather lazy and "flippant", she rather talked than act and had a kind of goofy attitude. Cazu liked to mock other people and were disrespectful toward many.
After some time, along with their family, they moved away from Ionia and headed toward Piltover by a ship, but their path changed because of a storm that caught them on the open sea. The ship crashed at the land north of Piltover and the twins got stranded, they couldn't find the people who were on the ship, in fact, they couldn't find anybody. They thought some help will arrive eventually, but for days, nothing happened, so they decided to move. Since they were weak and exhausted, they eventually found a cave hidden which they entered and used as temporary shelter. Days later One of the twins found out, that the cave had a well hidden crack where they could fit through. And so they curiously entered, where they found a long path that led them deep underground. At the end of this path, there was a huge mossy room with the top full of beautifully glowing crystals.
Cazu and Izui found broken off pieces of these crystals lying around as they entered further. By this point they were so exhausted, that they decided to rest near these crystals, since they seemed to emit warmth. The next time they woke up, was a shock for them. They couldn't see, but only hear each other. At first they panicked, they couldn't understand any of it, but a few hours later, they figured out, that... they became one person. They realized, that they could hear each other in their thoughts, but only one of them were in control of their now united body. As it began to show, one of them were control during the night, and the other one during the day, what they also seen is, that each time they "swapped" personality, they also regained their full energy and strength. They remained in the cave for the time to get used to their new "self". They had no choice, but to accept it, at least for now and combining their own names, they named themselved Cazui. To this day they seek for the opportunity to being their own selves again. Since they were mostly titled by others, that they can't reach their goals in life, due their personalities, they agreed upon to show their own skills on their own ways, while keeping their identities hidden from people at day and night. She now resides in Piltover, where Heimerdinger created her suit.
#Roles: Melee, assassin, fighter
#Abilities (numbers on damage are mostly representative):
Passive - Broken Souls:
Day and Night cycles through every 2 minute. 60 seconds daytime, 10 seconds twilight, 40 seconds nighttime and 10 seconds sunrise. Daytime and twilight counts as Day and nighttime and sunrise counts as Night and during night, the vision champions, minions, wards and constructs have are not "highlighted".
Cazui changes personality at each Day and Night cycle (at the end of twilight or sunrise), changing her abilities to fit her current personality. During the change she is silenced for 1,5/1,25/1/0,75 seconds while she disguises herself silently. Additionally, if Cazui enters a brush while not using her ultimate and out of combat, that no enemy champion has vision of, during twilight or sunrise it will automatically change her personality at that time.
During the Day, Cazui receives +5%/8%/11%/14% armor penetration and +5%/6%/7%/8% bonus attack damage while bearing her broadsword. During the Night, Cazui receives +10%/15%/20%/25% critical strike chance and +20%/25%/30%/40% attack speed while bearing her daggers.
Q - Sword swing / Distracting Daggers:
Sword swing: Cazui swings her sword in front of herself in small a cone, damaging enemies for 30/55/80/105/130 (+100% AD) physical damage. Minions take +20% damage. Enemy Champions hit by the blade are slightly knocked back. ((Range: 200))
Distracting Daggers: Cazui prepares three daggers, that she can use for 8 seconds. Cazui can throw each dagger at the target location, penetrating minions while stopping at enemy Champions, dealing 25/40/55/70/85 (+15%/18%/21%/24%/27% AD) physical damage and interrupts them. The daggers can crit and the first dagger being cast applies on hit effects. The projectile speed of the daggers is affected by attack speed. ((Range: 650))
W - Hilt Bash / Shadow Wire:
Hilt Bash: Cazui dashes toward the target location and uses her sword's hilt to bash the next enemy she collides with, dealing 75/95/115/135/155 (+50% bonus AD) physical damage, stunning them for 0,5 second and slowing them by 20%/25%/30%/35%/40% for 2 seconds. ((Dash range: 350))
Shadow Wire: Cazui shoots a shadowy wire at a target Champion, that wraps itself around them and marks them with Shadow Wire for 4 seconds. After one second delay, if it's an enemy Champion, she cuts them with the wire, dealing 70/100/130/170/200 (+40%/50%/60%/70%/80% bonus AD) physical damage. If any marked champion moves out of the ability's range, Cazui blinks behind that Champion and causes her next attack to deal extra 40/55/70/85/100 (+20% bonus AD) damage and slow the target by 25% for 2,5 seconds. If the target champion is an ally, the cool down is halved. ((Cast range: 600, trigger range: 850))
E - Blade Throw / Lightning Reflexes:
Blade Smack: Cazui takes her sword and bluntly throws it, slapping the target enemy Champion's head, dealing 80%/90%/100%/110%/120% of his total attack damage as physical damage and dazing them, which causes the next attack or single target ability to miss by the target within 2 seconds. ((Throw range: 300))
Lightning Reflexes: Cazui gains enhanced perception, allowing her to dodge every second basic attacks against her for 2,5 seconds.
R - Special Attack / Elusive Assassin:
Special Attack: Cazui swings around her sword 5/6/7 (+1 swing for every 30% bonus attack speed) times repeatedly in front of herself and slowly moves toward the cursor with 35%/30%/25% reduced movement speed, dealing 80/120/160 (+ 60% bonus AD) physical damage with each swing. These attacks can critically strike for +30%/40%/50% damage and each swing's speed is affected by attack speed. Using another ability will cancel the Special Attack. ((Swing range: 350, Cone width is about 120 degree always in front of herself, tries to follow the cursor like Vel'koz ult))
The Night is Approaching: if activated during twilight, Cazui has no reduced movement speed and for each champion hit by each swing, Cazui gains 3/5/7 bonus armor penetration that can stack up to 10 times and lasts 2 seconds.
Elusive Assassin: Cazui locks herself on a target enemy Champion and gains 80%/100%/120% movement speed burst that decays over 1,5 seconds down to 20% while moving toward the locked Champion and is immune to knock ups, fears, stuns and rooting effects for 8 seconds as long she attacks and moves toward the locked target with her basic attacks. ((Lock range: 1100 and the effect ends immediately if she attacks someone else with basic attacks other than the "locked" target.))
End It Quick: If activated during sunrise, Cazui gains +20%/30%/40% bonus attack speed and her basic attacks deal additional 1% damage for every 4%/3%/2% missing health the locked target enemy Champion has.
#Possible allies: Shen, Irelia, Master Yi, Caitlyn, Vi, Heimerdinger.
#Voice: During daytime while Cazu is in control, she has a more light voice and a careless and kind of a mocking tone. During nighttime while Izui is in control, she has more "sharper" and quick voice and tone.
#Quotes (the bold is supposed to be said in Izui's tone):
Champion select:
- "I start playing with them, then I finish playing with them."
Upon starting a game (always starts in Day):
- "Ah, what a beautiful day, can't wait to see the stars."
- "The day is beautiful, the night is dangerous."
- "Day and Night, a beautiful cycle."
Attacking (at Day):
- "Don't move, I miss easily."
- "Well, it can hurt if you move a lot, silly."
- "Does it hurt if I flail this around?"
- "Does this hurt as much as heavy it is?"
- "I swing my sword and swing it again!"
- "Enjoy the daylight... while you can."
- "A sword cut is probably better, than a dagger stuck in your back."
Attacking (at Night):
- "I promise I'll be quick."
- "You can't escape"
- "Run!"
- "I'll get you!"
- "It's my time!"
- "You will fall with the night."
- "You are not safe in the dark."
Movement (at Day):
- "Ugh, this sword is sooo heavy"
- "My wrist hurts..."
- "It would be easier if it would just float on my back."
- "I want to sit down."
- "Anyone got some tea? I need a rest."
- "Can't wait for the night"
- "Each day is beautiful, everyone should appreciate it."
- "Just wait till the night falls, you will see wonders."
- "I don't even know how to use this..."
Movement (at Night):
- "I don't have much time."
- "The night is short."
- "The Stars, aren't they beautiful?"
- "I wonder how hard it is to catch me."
- "Nobody promised tomorrow."
- "The Sun goes down, but for some, it might never rise again."
- "I am one with the night."
- "My daggers are swift like a wind blowing through a plain."
- "Deaths at night are the most silent."
Joke (at Day): She grabs her sword, looks at it for a moment, then swings it a few times while goes out of a balance and trips over then says:
- "I always forget how heavy this is..."
- "You didn't see anything, alright!?"
- "I almost did a thing!"
Joke (at Night): She picks three daggers and keeps juggling with them, at the end she does a back-flip to catch them at once with her hands and one leg, balancing them on their hilt for a moment before going back to normal stance.
- "I could do this like... all night long."
- "This doesn't need much perception."
- "And of course, nobody sees this."
Taunt (at Day): Cazui mimics the same animation Yasuo does during his "dance", but instead of using any instrument, she just makes "raspberry" sounds.
Against enemy Champions (still Day and instead of making "raspberry" sounds):
Garen:
- "I can -almost- do that spin, you know?!"
- "I bet you would love my sword..."
Tryndamere:
- "Why exactly your right arm is stronger, though?"
- "Seriously, what's up with the spinning..."
Yasuo:
- "So, why do you always have a key?"
- "What's up with the wind out of sudden."
Riven:
- "Broken? Well... familiar feels there."
- "Compared, that it's a broken sword..."
Aatrox:
- "That's... an interesting sword you got there."
- "Do you have a different sword, that change sizes too?"
Nocturne:
- "Such darkness, very scary, wow."
- "Just wait till the Night, you'll see darkness."
Master Yi:
- "I hope you can't see through my coat."
- "How can you see through those?"
Jax:
- "Well, you sure look pretty funny."
- "Are those eyes? Do you have goggles too?"
Taunt (at Night): Cazui shows off her speed and agility with a few moves, while saying:
- "The night is on my favor and so everything else."
- "Which one is faster? My legs, my hands... or my daggers?"
- "I became one with the night. You cannot escape."
Against enemy Champions (still Night):
Garen:
- "I could try to spin, but you would like that, don't you?"
- "Don't mistake me for someone else, Garen."
Zed:
- "I need none of your shadows, Zed."
- "There are no shadows at night, Zed."
Nocturne:
- "You are late, it's already dark."
- "You cannot fear me."
Katarina:
- "I would say I kinda like you."
- "Where do you keep all those daggers?"
Leona:
- "You might be radiant, but not too bright."
- "I'll just switch off that light of yours."
When twilight hits:
- "I must go now, but I'll be back!"
- "Careful in the night, friends."
- "The night is approaching."
- "Time to rest for a while."
When Sunrise hits:
- "I must end this quickly."
- "I have to retreat."
- "The Sun is rising... again."
- "My task ends here, for now."
#Updates/other:
Alright, well.. that would be my idea for a champion, I tried to keep it somewhat balanced and still be useful. If a skill is not clear, just let me know and I try to explain it the best way I can. I added no cooldown and costs for the abilities, some might be confusing without range so I added a few range indication at least into the descriptions.
Let me know what you think about the idea/concept of this champion.
Thank you!
