Agrian, the Headmaster
This is a champion concept I made based on a character in my Lucian backstory. He is the headmaster of the Order, the group consisting of and that trains the Purifiers. I will say that this is my first attempt and I am expecting the numbers to be off. I tried basing cost/damage/CD on similar abilities from other champs, but I'm not a hardcore number cruncher. Let me know what you think.
Lore The soft breeze blew Agrian’s robes to and fro, mimicking the leaves that fell lazily from the high branches surrounding the cemetery. The one armed man had visited often, often wondering what he may have been able to do differently; what lesson he could have better taught. Looking out over the field, marker after marker dotted the ground like stone flowers, each representing a fallen ally, a former Purifier. Agrian, however, was not the only visitor as of late. He saw, standing at the most recently placed gravestone, a tall ebony figure, dressed in a flowing silver coat. “I see you are out here again, Lucian.” Agrian spoke, his gruff voice stifling a bit of sadness. “Come back to us at the Order; there is much work to be done.” Lucian, leaning over the grave, slammed his fist down onto the polished stone. “Do you think I care about any pursuit besides Thresh? There is no demon in Runeterra that I care about more than him.” Agrian slowly raised his hand, reaching for the spot where his flesh had covered over what remained of his arm. He thought of his wife and the fate that had befallen her. “I understand what you are going through, more than you might realize. But still, Senna knew what her job was. You know what your duty is, as a Purifier.” Lucian drew both guns as he turned to face Agrian. “Do not think you can stop me, Headmaster.” Agrian faintly dropped his hand to the stone sword at his hip. “Lucian, I learned long ago wrath can go a long way in the battle against evil, but if it is left unchecked, it will become evil just the same.” “You are a foolish old man, spending too much time sending your pawns into the world instead of facing it yourself.” Lucian pulled the trigger on the larger of his two weapons. The slightest beam of light flickered in front of Agrian. In a flash, Agrian drew his sword, angling it into the ray as it doubled in size. The blade stopped the shot short, turning bright yellow as the energy harmlessly soaked into it. “I fought in this war long before I taught anyone else how to do so,” Agrian lowered his sword and took a deep breath. “It takes an inner light to outshine all the darkness in the world. And Senna would not want you going after her.” Lucian blinked and Agrian had closed the gap between them. The back edge of his sword rested against Lucian’s neck. “You are unchecked, Lucian.” (Three years later) Agrian stood in the courtyard of the Temple of the Order, watching as new Purifiers trained under the tutelage of their elders. Three years had passed since Lucian left, chasing Thresh in the League. The rest of the world stopped existing to Lucian, but not to the evil he use to hunt. That was now growing faster than the Order could keep up with. Agrian decided the only option he had was to get Lucian back. Even if that meant joining the League in his place.

Agrian blinks to enemy champion to barrier around them completely before returning to place of initial casting. Home Slice may still be broken, but health is increased by 20% AD per stack of Swordsmanship. Units struck by Home Slice are stunned for 2 seconds
Appearance: Agrian is an older man, lightly tanned skin, with a sternum length beard and missing his left arm. He wears almost a martial arts gi style outfit, though it is mostly hidden under his outer, calf-length robe. The robe almost completely surrounds him while standing still, but is open in front and has prominent shoulder pads (think Piccolo from DBZ). Because of his arm, he carries his sword strap slung over his shoulder with the sword on his left-hand side. His sword is a no-dachi style blade made from the same stone material as Lucian’s guns and polished to a sheen.
