[CHAMPION CONCEPT] Qual, the Mad Mortician

Hey guys, this is my first champion concept! I hope it's to your liking. Leave an upvote, comment, review, whatever! So, here we go.

Qual, the Mad Mortician

Primary Role: Support Secondary Role: Mage Affiliated Faction: Zaun Rival Faction: Shadow Isles

Base Stats: Honestly, I don't know what to put here to make Qual feel balanced, so I'll leave that up for later until I can work out some math. Maybe one of you guys wanna take a crack at it?

Abilities Passive: Corpse Carrier No stranger to the dead, Qual knows, or in the least believes he knows, that the best replacements for surgery come from the recently deceased. Every time Qual is nearby when a minion, neutral mob, or enemy champion dies he gains a stack of Spare Parts, increasing the amount healed by 2% per stack when cast on himself or an ally champion, consuming the stacks in the process. Minions and camps produce 1 stack, while champions produce 2, and epic creatures like Dragon and Baron produce 5.

Q: Sawed Off As a mortician, Qual's skills with a bone-saw are unparalleled. Aiming for the enemy's vital limbs and organs, Qual deals magic damage to a single target, slowing them as well. If Qual scores a kill or last hit with Sawed Off, he gains gains double the stacks of Spare Parts. This ability scales with AP.

W: Surgery! Master of the morgue and budding surgeon, Qual always tries to find practice for his medicinal abilities. (Un)Fortunately, he's not above testing his techniques on his friends, or himself if need be. When activated, Qual targets himself or an allied champion to heal a percentage of their base health, as well as consuming all stacks of Spare Parts for an extra 2% health per stack. This ability scales with AP.

E: Madman's Musings While there is no doubt he is good at what he does, many would agree that Qual is a bit...off. Passively, Qual constantly mutters and laughs to himself, unnerving enemies. In an aura around Qual enemy champions receive a small reduction to their attack damage and speed. When activated, Qual lets loose a hideous cackling, dealing magic damage based on a percentage of the enemies base health. If Qual has stacks of Spare Parts, he deals extra magic damage per 5 stacks. This does not consume them. This ability scales with AP.

R: Embalm Finding a necessity in learning efficient ways to properly entomb the deceased, as they roam the Shadow Isles freely, Qual has found that his technique works just as well on the living as it does the dead. After a brief channel, Qual covers an enemy champion in embalming fluid, stunning them for a time. If damage is what Qual needs, by casting Surgery! on an Embalmed champion the heal produced by it is instead converted to magic damage. This still consumes the stacks. This ability scales with AP.

Lore

NEWSFLASH: WIFE OF LOCAL MORTICIAN DECLARED DECEASED Mary Krank, wife of mortician Alphose Krank, was found dead in her abode today. Her cause of death was ruled to be sudden cardiac arrest. Following the disappearance of her husband and son, Mrs. Krank's health had been noted to decline rapidly over the course of a few days. During the investigation of her death, several letters were discovered detailing an expedition to the Shadow Isles from Alphose. Eventually, their son, a young Qual Krank, traveled as well in search of his father. The letters would later go on to tell of how Dr. Krank and son were assaulted by the dead due to this years Harrowing arriving unexpectedly. It is believed that this news along with the father and sons presumed deaths gave poor Mrs. Krank a heart attack. The following is a transcription of those letters. WARNING: DISTURBING CONTENT! READER'S DISCRETION ADVISED!

Letter to Mary Krank – Sep, 31st

“Dearest Mary, I thank you for being supportive in my decision to expedite to the Shadow Isles. I know it is a dangerous, often times downright deadly place, but I assure you I am under the protection of these fine Demacian fellows! With their muscle backing my journey, I will no doubt find a way to deal with these pesky undead. Wish me the best of luck, my sweet. Oh, and give my regards to our son! I'm sure he'll be excited to hear that I'm doing well.
	
Yours Truly, Alphose~”

Letter to Mary Krank – Oct 5th

“Dearest Mary, I have good news! I do believe I've begun to make a breakthrough in my research! I've been studying the undead here at the Shadow Isles for sometime now, as I am sure you've no doubt forgotten, and have made some interesting discoveries regarding their physiology. While it is true their bodies are reanimated by the powers of magic, I do believe I've found a way to effectively cease their ability to function! By coating the body in a specially crafted alchemical fluid, the chemical reaction entombs the body by solidifying almost immediately upon contact! From their, the subject can be easily dispatched of. The trouble is getting enough of it in the first place. Still, progress marches ever onward! Aside from this, I do so hope you and our son have been doing well. How has he been enjoying those spare medical journals I sent him? I know how much that boy loves to read. Maybe he'll follow in his old man's footsteps someday. Just reading that has probably put a strain on you hasn't it? Haha, I sure he'll be wiser than me, Mary. Be well!
	
Yours Truly, Alphose~”

Letter to Mary Krank: URGENT – Oct 12th

“Mary, this letter is being sent most urgently. I pray it reaches you soon. I shall as brief as possible. To put things short, I've found were our son has gone to; HERE! He apparently snuck aboard a freighter to come see me. Damn that boy and his ambition, he really has taken after, hasn't he? I've been looking after him best I can, but that matters not now. The Harrowing...The Mist...It's here! The undead, the spirits, oh gods are they're everywhere! The Demacians' tried their best...it wasn't enough. My stars, I saw one of them torn apart in seconds... I toke our son and ran, managed to find solace in an abandoned mausoleum. Irony abound... My prayers, carry this courier hawk far. If I live another day...Mary, know we both love you.

Description

Qual was once an innocent and naive young man, but the Shadow Isles and it's Black Mists have since changed that. Now a disturbed, if efficient, mortician and surgeon, Qual's appearance reflects his state of mind. He wears a long doctor's coat, tattered at the coat tails, stained with blood, and patched up in spots, along with black trousers and thick, mud and gore caked boots. His black hair is kept short and trim, whilst a thick goatee sprouts from his chin. He wears a small pair of round spectacles, resting low on his nose. His most striking features are the long scar across his left eye and his right hand, replaced with a crude prosthetic. Ever at his side is his satchel, filled to the brim with body parts and organs ready to be transplanted into his victims patients.

Quotes

Upon Selection: “The doctor will see you now...”

Movement: “Mm, yes...” “Delightful...” “Yes yes...” “muttering” “mutter mutter Sure...”

Attacking: “Ah, the fun begins!” “I do need more parts...” “I'm sure they won't miss a kidney...” “Allow me to show you something...” “You're a donor, yes?”

Upon casting Surgery!: “There we go! Good as new...ish.” “You always had 6 toes, right?” "Hm...Did your arm always bend that way?" "Of course I know what I'm doing!" "I'm a doctor, I know what's best for my patients!"

Taunts

General: "Parts are parts, but yours will be sub par at best." "The difference between life and death is but a cut away! Allow me to demonstrate."

Towards Shadow Isles Champions: "You're parts are barely worth taking." "I will enjoy harvesting from you." "I'd go for your heart, but I doubt you have one."

Towards Undead Champions: "I've dealt with the dead plenty already. Go back to being so." "Step into my office, why don't you?" "Will you just stay dead? It makes my job infinitely easier."

Joke

Qual snaps his glove "Turn your head and cough." Qual snaps his glove "Anesthetic? Don't be such a baby!"

tl;dr Crazy surgeon hates dead people and keeps people from being dead by using the dead to keep them alive.

Alright alright, I know that was a lot to read, but I hope it was at least intriguing to you guys! Lemme know what you think, and don't worry. More is to come from Qual, as well as other champions I've been cooking up.

Have a good one! -HD
