Selyne

The Queen of Shurima, shortly before Azir's reign, Selyne has returned to this world, intent on killing those who brought her city to fall, out of principle. The Dark Princess has greater plans than that of simple Shurima. Ones that encompass all of Runeterra. Of course, one could thank the mysterious Veryaline race, who made her their princess, gifting her with extraordinary magic and enhanced her previous mind abilities.

Selyne is a mage who excels at farming and catching foes unexpectedly. She plays a very strong role in team fights. Selyne has devastating potential.

She retains her armor for a minute afterwards, which raises her stats very high.

Lore Ancient, Selyne was one of the many royals of Shurima. Selyne grew with a dark fascination of magic. Not uncommon, yet it was unbecoming for one of her rank to shy from public attention so often, as she did. Selyne held a twin brother, of the name Serothine. The pair were almost inseparable, and extremely close. Selyne knew Serothine would grow to become emperor, and was content with such an arrangement. Ruling would interfere with her studies. She was proud of her arcane knowledge, and eagerly presented it to her parents, much to Serothine's dismay. While their mother, Empress Nyx, was overjoyed at her own daughter's prowess, happy that she inherited the Empress' skill. The Emperor, on the other hand, was infuriated, claiming magic was for the weak, and how women did not deserve the glory of fighting. Serothine mocked Selyne, goodheartedly, about how he knew their father would think that. Selyne did not see it as funny, and forced Serothine out.

Embittered by this experience, Selyne went to the libraries of Nasus, one of the Ascended. Reading tome after tome, she cautiously befriended Nasus, learning from him. Her studies broadened her power to great magnitudes, greater than even her descendant, Xerath. Selyne grew more and more powerful, and proceeded to learn from Renekton, providing a match for him. She remained close with Serothine, and her mother, Nyx. Until, one night, her mother vanished, when Selyne was just 15 years of age. The Emperor cared little, and continued to conquer. Selyne and Serothine began to plot, to infuriated. They killed their father, by convincing him to attempt to Ascend. He failed. Serothine, instead of taking the throne for his own, chose to co-rule aside his twin. They did indeed share everything.

While Serothine handled many of the laws, and waged battles, Selyne took upon the politics, and magical battles. They both needed one another, due to women possessing magic being illegal at the time. Serothine could not yet abolish it, but Selyne held firm faith in him doing so. Both of them began a search for their mother. When it came to be a new law, women possessing magic, Selyne revealed a secret cult of witches, that stretched across the world. Feared, and dangerous. Members of their order are within even the mighty Darkin , as well as the Frostborn. Selyne revealed that the Ice Witch was planning for a war, and Selyne wanted to back up the Ice Witch . Serothine opposed this, as the Freljord was too far for Shurima to send a large amount of troops to, due to their search for the missing Empress Nyx. This caused the first real argument, ever, to erupt between the twins. Then, out of nowhere, Serothine said that they, both of them, should ascend. Together. Find their missing mother, and bring her home.

Reluctantly, Selyne agreed to her brother, and the two ascended. And like that, Selyne joined the ranks of her teachers, as Serothine joined the ranks of his heroes. Then, right after the ceremony, during the party, Selyne disappeared. Wracked with grief, Serothine threw his army to aid the Ice Witch, yet they never arrived, due to a mysterious, shadowy being. Serothine, full of grief, and guilty of his inability to aid the Order of Witches, some who tried to console him. The entire order, indeed, was affected by Selyne's disappearance. Guilt, and his grief caused Serothine to retreat, wandering forever.

Little did he know, Selyne was reunited with their mother, Nyx. Nyx revealed she was part Veryaline, coming from a long line of aristocrats, and was engaged from birth to the king, who was roughly adjacent to her own age. She was only allowed on Runeterra as a reward for being obedient. Indeed, she, Selyne, was captured by the Veryaline. The Veryaline King, reluctantly had allowed Nyx to gain one of her lost children, and Nyx chose the daughter. Selyne rose, becoming one of the Veryaline, and their new princess. Time passed, and Selyne returned to Runeterra, after a nasty encounter with a celestial being. She was charmed by a man, and fell in love, much to the ire of the Veryaline, yet they could not do much. She had a happy life, except for one thing. None of her daughters, inherited her sheer broadness of the magical adeptness, bar her seventh daughter, who ended up giving birth, and said child was captured, and forced into slavery, eventually producing a child, who would grow to grow in power, near Selyne's, when Selyne was mortal. She kept an eye on such a future descendant, thanks to her future sight. Selyne even grew scared, until realizing Xerath would not become a Veryaline, and thus, was marginally weaker than Selyne.

Selyne however, watched in horror, as her loved ones were forced to become Veryaline, as the king thought it would make her happy. The pain they went through traumatized her, yet it made her pleased that the king wanted to make her happy, enough to deal with them, because if Selyne was happy, Nyx was.

Little did he know, Selyne and Nyx were orchestrating a coup d'etat, which was on hold. Selyne and Nyx have come to Runeterra, sensing Shurima's rise.

Selyne had darker plans in mind, for all of Runeterra. Not even just Runeterra, but..

..Everywhere

Strengths and Weaknesses

Selyne excels at dishing out damage, as well as defending against it. She can take control of the battlefield quickly, and can quickly farm her lane, thanks to Chaos and Order affecting minions. In group fights, she can quickly batter and weaken her foes, thanks to her DoTs. She can also survive, thanks to her shield. She can heal her allies, as well.

Selyne is very fragile, and in melee situations, she fails miserably, as she'd be slaughtered. Aside from her ultimate, she has little mobility. She also cannot heal herself. Selyne also is mana hungry, and when she has low mana, or none, she's almost worthless.
