Samurai Champion

I made this character because I think that league needs a samurai. I have been tolt that Yasuo is based on the samurai concept, but I think that the samurai idea has more potention... This is the first time I make a league character so the numbers I gave all the abilities and his stats might be unbalanced, but I think that it is riots job to make such details. The numbers are more to show what the ability is supposed to do, like, does it have to do high or low damage? Also, I don't expect this character to be made, of course not (still that would be awesome), its more like an inspiration source or something for riot to make a samurai. If you've got some tips or something, let me know, all the (serious) feedback is welcome. -The autor

Samurai (Chikara)

Lore The bandit chief was inspecting his followers, nine in total. The bandits where getting nervous, it had been 9 days, since the last traveller came past their road. They needed money, their food supply was slinking and they needed new weapons, clothes and arrows. They couldn’t go back to the town, they were wanted and the gates where heavily guarded. If they had at least some money, they could bribe some guards, but now…

It started raining

It had been cold and wet, the last three nights, it looked like tonight would be the same. One of the newer recruits was having a fight with the fat one again, we all knew that the fat one secretly ate more from the ration when the rest was sleeping, but the rest, except the new one, didn't care.

'please, let someone be stupid enough to travel in this weather!'

The chief knew that they needed a target in two days, if not, his followers would leave him, maybe even kill him to steal his possessions. He walked back to his tent, already planning how he would flee the encampment this night, but then he heard a shout.

'Someone on the road, someone on the road!'

The chief stiffened, thanked the gods for their mercy, turned around and yelled: 'How many, how far away!?' The scout who was sitting in a tree near the road yelled: 'It is a loner, he will be here in 15 minutes!'

'perfect, I hope he has something we can steal…'

14 minutes later they were all hiding in bushes near the road, the chief a little bit further away from the road than the rest, he needed to have a good view on the situation. The plan was simple but effective: When the target was close enough, three of his men would walk onto the road in front of the target to block his way. Three others would walk on the road behind the target to make sure the target wouldn't flee, than he would come out of the bushes to tell the target that he was surrounded and that it was better for his life to surrender. The last two bandits would stay in the bushes, and would only show themselves if necessary.

The target came in sight.

He, it was a man, was indeed alone. He appeared like a mercenary but they couldn't identify his armour or weapons. It looked exotic, especially his helmet, which looked old, but you could see it was beautiful once, they could probably sell it to some collector in town. The target also wore some strange banner on his back, the chief couldn't identify the sign on the banner. That didn't matter, what mattered was that they would have some money again. The chief signalled to start the operation.

When the bandits came out of the bushes and told the target to halt, he stopped immediately, he said nothing, he just stared at the three bandits in front of him. Than the chief came out of hiding.

'Resistance is useless, I have ten man in the bushes, waiting for my signal to attack.'

That was a lie to scare the target a bit more.

'Now, if you drop your sword and your other weapons, we will not k…'

The target dashed forward, too fast for any normal human. The bandit who stood in front of the target screamed and jumped away, dodging the warrior who dash alongside him. The target ignored him, just like how he ignored the other two bandits who were standing in front of him, he wanted the chief.

The chief, who wasn't prepared for such an action, didn't even scream when the target hit him with his weapon, the strike was so powerful that the chief was knocked back in the bushes. The target immediately dashed after him, before the chief even could try to stand up, he felt the cold iron of a sword cutting deep in his chest, he was dying. The other bandits where stunned, they couldn't believe that their chief was finished so quickly and with so much ease.

The chief was lying on his back, looking right in the face of the target, this was no ordinary warrior, the chief saw what he first had overlooked. The man wore a mask, it was a mask of a demon’s face, terrifying as the devil himself, it was a samurai. The samurai turned around, facing the other nine bandits, who were still shocked. Then he turned his sword around and he thrust it in his own chest, the samurai fell to his knees. The bandits didn't know what they saw, first the target kills their chief, now he commits suicide? The bandits closest to the samurai carefully, walked up to the target and their dead chief, not knowing what to do now. When they were within four meters of the target, they heard it. A deep terrifying growl. With his last strength, the chief turned his head, so he could see the source of the sound. It was the samurai, he stood in front of his men, covered in his own blood, his banner raised in his left hand, his sword in his right.

He stands, he fights, he falls, he stands…again

_Unable to complete my heavy task for our country Arrows and bullets all spent, so sad we fall. But I will never lay down to rest. My body cannot rest and rot in the field. Yeah, I shall be born again and stand up for glory And grasp the sword in my hand. _

Armor 30 (4) Magic resist 32 (1,25)

Range 125 Movement 340**

Abilities:

Passive: Never I surrender Gain increased armor, magic resist and attack damage, based on his missing health.

**Challenge:

No cooldown No cost Range 900**

Active: Chikara makes an unbreakable challenge with an opponent in sight, gaining increased movement 10/15/20/25/30 when moving towards the target of his challenge. Also he studies his challenger, when not attacking the target of his challenge for 4 seconds, while the target is in range, his next basic attack against his challenger deals 3/5/7/9/11% of the targets missing health as bonus damage. Because of this concentration he can't focus on his surroundings, he has decreased armor and magic resist when studying the target of his challenge.

Passive: When the samurai kills the target of his challenge his honour increases with 2 points. He gains one point for assists and dragon, rift herald and baron. He losses all his points when dying or when he uses his seppuku (see later in the text).

When visiting the shop, he can choose to loses all his points and increases his gear with an master’s item. He loses one of his masters items after dying.

Masters items:

                                4-points: samurai’s war boots, he gains +35 movement
                                8-points: Master’s Naginata, Chikara exchanges his katana for a spear like weapon, 
                                he gains 55 range on basic attacks and his dash and strike.
                                12-points: The mask of a demon, whenever Chikara uses his unstoppable charge,
                                the target of his challenge is feared for 1,5 seconds (maybe longer?)

When he already has one masters item, the number of points spent to get that masters item are subtracted from the cost of the next masters item.

**Banner:

            Cost: 60/70/80/90/100
            Range: self**

Passive: Chikara projects his honour and courage on his surrounding allies, giving them a small movement and attack damage boost scaling with his current honour points.

Active: Chikara makes a terrible growl and uses all his willpower to charge through everything his enemy’s throw at him. He gains a slow resistance of 16/32/48/64/80% and stuns, roots and snares count as 100% slows.

For example: Sona stuns Chikara with her ultimate, he is slowed for 84/68/52/36/20% and he takes the damage as normally. Example: fiddlesticks uses his terrify, the effect triggers normally…

Seppuku:

          Cooldown: 100/90/80
          Cost: 15% of max health (+100 mana?)

When below 15% of his max health: Chakari performs the seppuku ritual, killing himself in the progress, he dies, but his honour-points remain unchanged. This takes 3,5 seconds, when Chikari is killed by an other source than his seppuku even when he is in the process of seppuku, he will lose his honour-points. This death counts as an execute.

When above 15% of his max health: Chikari performs the seppuku ritual, draining 15% of his max health, but he doesn't fall. Instead he pulls the darkness of life outside his body and forges it in his weapon, he becomes enlightened and his weapon becomes blooded. In the process he looses all of his stacks of honour.

Blooded weapon: 30/60/90% of the damage of his basic attacks and his aijitsu strike is true damage and deal bonus bleed damage based on the honour stacks lost in the seppuku ritual.

Enlightened soul: Chikari mind is enlightened and reaches ultimate harmony and peace, his ability's cost 33/66/100% less manna. When he lost 5+ stacks of honor in the suppuku ritual, fear, charm and taunt effects are considered as 100%[-5% per stack of honour lost] slows, which can be reduced with to his banner ability or items.
