VAL, The Iron Inquisitor [CHAMPION CONCEPT VERSION 1.4)
Waddup guys! I'm working on a champion! :U
Changes made from version 1.0 >Slight addition to Passive to entice going a bit more off tank >E changed to be cooler, and some lore to fit the addition of the E >Also added images! Or at least previews, I’m soo busy on a webcomic to actually draw splash art, but I do have personality! >Refined the possible Appearance, using Iron inquisitor Kayle as a thingy :U >crap ton of lines and bio to flesh out character >Clarifications to spells
Character Name: Val (Version 1.1), The Iron Inquisitor (wip title)
Summary: Val is an inquisitor who scouts the demacian walls, killing those who dabble in magic, and protecting the Stability of the city itself, with a Morning star and magic cape in hand, she will hunt down and kill those who she finds impure. There is no Running from the watchtower sentinel overall, her theme is aimed to be a dark take on a Demacian, while still making here Feel true Demacian
Play style: Val is aimed to be a highly mobile Ranged jungler, a cross between Graves and Urgot, a psudo tank capable of dishing tons of close quarters damage (inside the jungle, where the enemies are corralled in, making her Passive and W extra effective), while still requiring good positioning to survive and do thus damage, otherwise, Val will have some counter jungling capabilities, though it shouldn't be strong enough to 1v1 the jungler, think Lee sin.
Her biggest strength would be her ability to track down and keep vision control of the jungle or area, which is kinda aimed to give Val this “Inquisitor investigator” feel, being able to scout out the impure and punish them
Otherwise, Item Wise, Val is built as an AD off tank who prioritizes attack speed as well, probably requiring (or being able to get away with) 2-3 damage items to really do work. Black Cleaver and BORK theoretically would be core. Before transitioning into a 2-3 defensive items (assuming you just went for 2 damage items)
Appearance: Long white flowing hair, with gentle hands covered in white gloves amongst her armor, it glimmers of a yellow shine, a neck fur coveres her throat, and she grips the chain of her spiked weapon, tightening its grip around your throat, her shadow blocks the sun, and through her mask of a pale maiden, she stares at you with her red eyes... her boot pins you to the floor, and she speaks... "Answer my questions, or die...filth..."
Statistics: Health and defenses will be meh early, before being okay mid to late, the defensive stats should Make Val not consider invading too early, or even ganking, though this is also due to the fact that she is a ranged character
Base Damage: ehh… I'm not sure here…
Range for sure would be something slightly longer than Urgot’s attack range, though I'm juggling the idea that her “ranged auto attacks” count as melee, though, its still just an idea
Abilities (please note the numbers here are JUST filler, and just place holders to give the general idea of how the abilities should function numbers wise
Passive: Swoosh do woosh! Val’s auto attacks cleave in a crescent, as she swings her Morning star across the target, hitting the enemies on the side of the enemy she is hitting, side enemies take 50% of the damage her auto attack would deal (meaning her on hit effects and crits would just deal 50% to the targets on the side), this damage to the enemy cleaved is increased to 60% if they are monsters, enemies hit by her main auto attack for the first time take X% of their HP (4 second cooldown)
Visuals: Val’s auto attacks are similar to that of Thresh’s, where she swings her morning star across the enemy, as for the area indicator to show what’s she damaging and the general idea people can see so they can know what she’ll hit, it'll be a white crescent

Q: Crush their bones (7 seconds, ish) on cast, Val begins to channel, still being able to move but at a slightly slower movement speed, on release, Val slams down at targeted area (similar to Yorick E) Grounding enemies hit and slowing them, the range and slow/grounded duration is increased the longer she charges
Enemies hit take damage equal to a % of their HP, 70% of AD, and bonus flat damage increased depending on how long she's channeled (EX: 75-100/100-150/125-200/150-250)
NOTE: this ability can be instant casted and land infront of Val, the AD ratio and % health damage remains the same)

W: no Escape! (14 seconds ish) In cast, Val Flings her Morning damage forward in a straight line (similar to Kayn W) towards the targeted location and dealing light damage on the way there, after a brief delay, during of which she can freely move, she yanks her Morning star back to her, dealing considerable damage and putting a light slow on on enemies hit by the pull for a brief period, if enemies are facing away from Val, they are instead knocked towards her (similar to kled Q)
If Val’s morning star lands over a wall or terrain, she is instead Pulled towards the other side of the terrain and instead deals light damage to enemies she passes
Visuals: self explanatory

E: Reflect Magic (CDR 15/13/11/9/8) Val readies her magic cape, and dashes forward a short distance (Lucian E range) using it to block magic with a spell shield that lasts until the end of her dash. If Val manages to block a spell during the cast (excluding on-going effects like teemo poison, assuming it was applied on her before the cast) Val whips her Cape forward at the end of the dash, releasing the sealed magic as a skill shot that stops at the first enemy struck (Ryze E range), dealing X+ (% of MAGIC RESIST) damage and applying the crowd control she would have taken if she were to be afflicted by it for 25%/30%/35%/40%/45% of its original duration if the skill shot lands.

Ult: Eye of the Inquisitor (200/150/100) range is centered on her Passively, enemy champions leave behind a footprints that remain there for 5 seconds, Val can move along these footprints for increased movement speed, at rank 2 of her ultimate she gains TRUE SIGHT of the enemy for 1 second if she is within auto attack range of the enemy champion
Active, Val sets post to keep an eye out for chaos and and the impure, channelling for 3 seconds, she then reveals trails left behind enemy champions from 30 seconds ago (size is that of a jungle side, meaning she can basically scout one side of the enemy Jungle is she stood on a blue/red camp) after which, Val then establishes a Sanctuary for 1 minute
Sanctuary: enemies who enter combat while in the sanctuary are revealed as long as they are in combat
Enemies who enter the area begin to glow an orange tint, telling them that they are within an area marked by Val.
at rank 16, Val and allies near Val gain increased movement speed when moving towards enemies attacking in the Sanctuary
(This ability only goes on cooldown AFTER Sanctuary's duration has completed)

LINES (wip) Voice/personality: Imagine a cold hearted middle aged woman... Val is in her 40's her voice is a bit rusty, and echoey since she's behind a mask and as she talks, she shows signs of suspicion and paranoia Lastly, when she gets angry, even going berserk, she sounds teary
Pick: _”I will make my enemies... suffer…” Ban: ”I won’t forget that…”

LORE (Also don't count on the lore to be 100% accurate and fittable to the actual world of league, this champion IS a what if scenario after all) Born from and last of the Valkyne family, Sarene Valkyne, or simply Val, was the only child in the demacian house hold and grew up within the walls of Demacia, never seeing the outside of the walls that so protect her.
soon, Sarene Valkyne grew up to guard the very walls that she looked up as a child, she became a prestigious knight and held many titles, as she rose up the military ladder, Sarene eventually became the leader of the guard, she grew a reputation of being the impassible, she did all good within the demacian walls, people saw her as an angel, a holy warrior almost, and many many people looked up to the protector who kept the people safe as she was occasionally sent on missions outside the walls to hold fort, and her legends began to spread around
one day, a mysterious assailant had broken pass the walls and right under Sarena's nose, and soon, this assailant would then begin to cause havoc upon the Citizens within Demacian, Slaughtering many citizens, it would be too late as Sarene took notice, she acted quickly.
she ran through the ruins, she swiftly gestured to her members to scout out the area...
"Swiftly! Scout out the area! look for any survivors!"
the destruction left behind, destroyed and melted houses, warped and mutated corpses, Sarene felt sickened by this, this magic was completely new to Sarene, of the many foes she has faced, she has never seen anything like it...
soon, Sarene felt a chill down her spine as the sun began to fell, she could feel the unnatural aura of the intruider, and as she prepared her morning star, she walked closer to the source of destruction, and to her dismay, she saw people, dead people, still breathing, walking, but warped, and moaning, moving when they arent supposed to be
the violent aura emitted from them, and a large mutant beast stood before Sarene, its violet texture, and Red eyes glew, it was nothing like Val has ever seen, it would then inhale, absorbing the essance of raw unknown magic within the area, before exhaling a wave of chaotic magic, magic so powerful, that even the Petricite could not nullify it. Sarene would stand fourth holding her ground.
"Beast! Face me you twisted monster!"
the horrid creature would then turn face to face with Val, its size much bigger than Val, a Purple smoke blew out of its openings, it had four limbs, hands encased in acidic smoke, a long tail riddled with these openings releasing the acidic fog, and its head, three crude horns, its rows of sharp teeth faced Val.
"You will be vanquished from this City, You hear me?!"
The beast did not respond, it instead leaped towards Sarene, it moved much faster than the demacian can even react, and with a swift swipe, it clawed at her face, before pinning her down, easily ripping through her armor, the pain was agonizing, her face deformed from the slash, she screeched in agony, and the pain was nearly an eternity for her... immediately, the warped corpses would mutate, taking the appearance of humans, of people, before running off to hide within the city, that was the last thing Sarene saw before she fell unconcious...
since then, Many days have passed after the invasion of the mysterious monster, it was quickly apprehended, and kept chained and alive deep below the ground of Demacia, while investigation on the walls of Demacia seemed to show that there was never any damage, as if the creature simply came out of nowhere, as for Sarene...
her reputation ruined, and humiliated.
Saren would then join an Order for Demacia, since the attack, her motive is simple... she was the only one who saw the creature, and she claims that the beast has created agents that hide in demacia desquised as people, eventually...
with morning star in hand, and a protective anti magic cape in arm, as to protect Val from any more magic attacks Val would then use her guards to heavily monitor the citizens of Demacia.
Val knows there are still monsters inside the walls, and the people are no longer safe... and at any cost, she will do anything to protect its people, even if a few lives are taken to make sure safety is enforced, innocent, or not...
this... is the iron inquisitor...
