Even the best laid plans can have disastrous consequences, Such was the fate of one of Kumungus hidden tribes.

Imalwei (E-mal-Way) was the next in line to become chieftain of his tribe and was sent to endure the trials of his people with the elder shaman. He passed his trials over the course of two months and returned to his village to find it decimated , burned and trampled were the bodies of his people, among the corpses were the bodies of both Noxian and Damacian warriors. Wracked with sorrow burning with rage and maddened by guilt of his survival he turned to the shaman after laying his people to rest and bid the shaman to perform the ritual of vengeance upon him.

Imalweis' body was scarred and inscribed with various curses and omens from his people by the shaman in the blood of the fallen invaders, the markings seeped into Imalweis' flesh and with the ritual complete he set out to repay his enemy with the wrath of his people.

Imalwei is a fighter mage, while he boasts higher than average defensive and offensive capabilities he cannot perform the role of tank or assassin without sacrificing either damage or defense

Passive: Cursed Flesh: (this passive is a three tiered passive becoming stronger at levels 1, 6, and 12) Imalweis' scarred flesh is inscribed with curses and omens that protect him and hamper his enemies, beginning at 1st level imalwei becomes resistant to supernatural damage, any true damage becomes either physical or magical (depending on its source) and is subject to armor and magic resistance, at 6th level imalwei surrounds himself in a cursed barrier that grants him 25% chance that a critical strike will become a normal attack, at 12th level Imalwei becomes permanently immune to one type of crowed control (chosen similar to leveling up an ability but above the passive) once chosen he cannot change it (suppression is not included because it cannot be overcome by any other champion with anti cc abilities)

Q: Cursed Wounds: Passive: Imalweis' attacks passively curse his target stacking up to 5 times. Active: upon casting this ability the curses activate and deal 0.5 of Imalweis' attack damage and ability power per stack as damage to the target, at 5 stacks this damage is increased to 0.75 per stack.

W: Heartbeat Drum (1st cast): Imalwei readies himself for his opponent by pounding on his chest, after 1 second he gains a series of 5 empowered attacks or a single use of grim finish. The empowered auto attacks deal bonus damage equal to his bonus ad or ap whichever is greater W: Grim Finish (2nd cast): Imalwei can instantly kill one non epic monster or minion though he gains no gold or experience for this kill, and gains bonus ap or ad (adaptive) equal to 5+10% of the slain creatures remaining hp for 10 seconds

E: Wrath of the Cursed: Imalwei attacks his enemy like a rabid animal his attackspeed increases by 40% but his defenses decrease by the same amount. he is unable to use spells and abilities during the 3 second rampage but his basic attacks deal 200% damage or 400% to minions and he loses the benefits of his cursed flesh passive while this ability is active.

R: Cursed Vengeance: Imalwei initiates the attack against his enemy, throwing himself into battle with the strength of a madman and the precision of a craftsman, for the next 10 seconds Imalweis attacks and abilities inflict a lingering curse that absorbs the damage dealt. after the duration expires the damage is dealt by the curse and slain targets become vengeful spirits that attack their former allies and foes alike. ( think of this as an uncontrolled version of mordekaisers ultimate, the specters attack nearby minions and champions regardless of their team (though their former allies are the primary targets if both enemy and allied champions are near) and they will attack without regard for their own safety (they will ignore turrets or any other traps that are not champions or minions and monsters) and use abilities only against champions (though they cant use an ultimate unless it was ready and uncast when they died (ability casts do not affect the actual champions abilities)

This Imalwei guy's backstory is actually super similar to General Grievous' backstory

Cool beans! The only deal I might have with him is his lack of skillshots/skill expression. What would separate a good Imalwei player from a noob? Also I really like his name and lore.
