Champion Concept: Nero, The storm bringer
In Japan there was a myth about creatures able to control thunder and lighting, called Raijin. I thought this would be a cool concept for a new Mage/Assassin.

Lore:
An outcast from society, Nero never knew the kindness of friends, the love of parents, the warmth of family. Before his birth, his parents where trapped in a thunderstorm the seemed to come out of no where. The severe weather raged with such violence and fright that it destroyed nearly everything in its wake. The storm was brutal, but it brought a calm to anyone witnessing it. Just as Nero's parents fled for shelter, the storm consumed them. Once the weather had passed all that was found was a child. This child seemed to be blasting off bolts of lighting and thunder. No one dared get close to him. The village elder, a man with a heart greater then the wealth of kings, took the child and cared for him. As time past the child grew and the elder had past away. No friends, No family, No one watching over him. The village grew fearful of him being without the elder and soon chased him out. He fled into the woods. From then on he was alone. As he grew he started to notice his powers increase. He ventured to the league to test himself.
Kit:
basic:
basic hits with either hand, or weapon (probably a staff) are close range melee.
Passive:
Charge: Every step Nero takes charges a meter, which once it hits 100% acts like lighting. if he hits anyone it causes extra damage. If anyone hits him they get hurt too. champions only You can't touch lighting baby :). Adds .25 or .5 or 1 ability power every time it hits anyone permanently. Which ever works.
Q:
shoots a lighting bolt if opponent far away, or a bolt from his hand/weapon if close.
W:
A: Adds an effect which causes a slow down every time someone is hit by Q, cant be faster then lighting :) or B: Throws his staff on floor causing a field affect which slows down anyone in the radius.
E:
A dash that turns him to lighting and can be used to dash to champions and minions. Sort of similar to Yasuo's.
R:
A: Turns into a bolt of lighting and jumps the map ( idk how wide) landing in a gaint bolt casting a field effect) or B: Rains down lighting from anywhere on the map. or C: A giant lighting bolt from his hand. or D: Super charges him shortly to cast super fast attacks and increases his cool down shortly. or E: Suggest one if you have a better idea.
