CCOS Good Neighbor Review: Oracle, the World's Witness
Be sure to check out November's CCOS competition for a plethora of other champion concepts!
Check out the beginning of Ebero’s story here!
Ebero Clemaine numbers among the most dangerous men in Runeterra. While his true origins remain shrouded in mystery, the man behind the mask has regularly reared his head throughout much of Noxian history to spread death and decay wherever he goes. A powerful alchemic sorceror, the piles of Ebero's victims corpses are rivaled only by his dizzying ego. In game, Ebero takes the role of a patient and deadly mage, who carefully cultivates unique and potent symptoms in his most unlucky of targets.

ABILITIES:
View the Google Doc for the kit here. If mandatory edits are made, then I will clearly indicate them, although I will also do my best to update the tooltips.
Passive - The Plague Ebero's spells apply the Plague. Ebero's spells against targets afflicted with the Plague cause them to develop Symptoms, which have additional effects. Corpses slain by Ebero will also apply Plague to nearby targets.

UNIQUE INTERACTION: Friend of a Friend: Ebero takes 1 less damage from
's passive (which applies to his W as well) and E.
Ability Notes:
-
Champions affected with the Plague will leave a small tail of green smoke behind them, akin to Dead Man's Plate red trail; however, this is not visible through the Fog of War. Champion corpses will emit a faint green aura.
-
The Plague debuff and each respective Symptom is visible on affected champion's HUD bar, as is Immunity.
Q: Plague Flask _Ebero hurls a vial that deals magic damage and applies Plague. Against Plagued targets, this ability will cause them to develop Boils over time. If he hits them with another Plague Flask, then all current Boils will rupture to deal magic damage in an area and apply Plague. _
http://i.imgur.com/z2N2BE1.png
Ability Notes:
-
Boils are represented by a growing red bar beneath the affected champion's resource bar. For reference, think of Annie's stun bar, except all intervals are red.
-
The rupture range for Boils appears once at least one has matured fully, and resembles the cast indicator for Yorick's second Q, Awakening, albeit on a much smaller scale. Both Ebero and enemy champions can see the rupture range.
-
Upon Boils rupturing, the afflicted champion will glow bright red during delay.
-
Spell shields will block both the damage of Plague Flask and the application of Plague/rupturing of Boils.
W: Will of the Plague _Ebero summons plague gas at the target location, dealing damage over time and applying Plague. Against Plagued targets, the gas will inflict a heavy slow before stunning. _

Ability Notes:
-
Unlike Akali's Twilight Shroud, this ability does not grant vision within its area.
-
Note that this ability will only stun Plagued targets still within.
E: Herald's Purge _Ebero deals magic damage to the target enemy, applying Plague and reducing their magic resistance. Against Plagued targets, it will deal additional damage over time, interrupt channels, and inflict grievous wounds. _

**R. Flight of the Plague Doctor: ** _Ebero passively gains vision of Plagued targets. He may activate this ability to blink to their location and unleash a blast that deals magic damage based on the target's missing health. A copy of Ebero will also spawn to attack other champions afflicted with Plague, but deal no damage. _

Ability Notes:
-
A crow will caw globally upon Ebero blinking.
-
Ebero's clones will display buffs and item visuals like him, as well as items on their HUD.

Upon applying Plague to an enemy champion:
- Your demise is now certain.
- Bend a knee, and perhaps I will kill you quickly.
- And thus all hope for victory diminishes.
- Fool! You thought you could outrun death!
- Never forget this day.
Upon casting Will of the Plague:
- Stop and smell the plague gas.
Upon inflicting Boils:
- You're going to want to get these checked out.
Upon rupturing Boils:
- That looks painful.
- Look out, they're contagious.
- Be glad they weren't carbuncles.
Upon causing a Fever:
- Shiver and die, like a leaf in winter.
- As the fever sets in, your final moments become appparent.
- Even now, death's slender fingers grasp at you..
- Your fear is intoxicating.

Upon killing an enemy champion with Flight of the Plague Doctor:

- Your last breath has now passed.
- Death comes for us all, in the end.
- Weep for me in the afterlife.
- Another corpse for the pile.
Joke: Ebero unstoppers one of his potions and samples the aroma. He gags and drops it to the ground.
- (wheezing) Definitely.....not......cologne.......
- (coughing and gagging profusely)
- That was not one of my (cough) better ideas.
- With this concotion, I shall lead ALL TO RUIN - ack, agh, bleeck!
Dance: Ebero juggles three of his potions, hopping from foot to foot and turning around in a circle as he does so.
Laugh: Ebero laughs haughtily.
Upon death:
- Pesky immunes....
- Of no matter. My plague outlives all.
- (chokes violently before gasping a final breath)
- (coughing) Foolish, broken souls, thinking they have won.
- (quietly) At long last.
