Kiara, the Broken Flower (Kassadin's Daughter Concept)
Hey everyone. I got bored and made another champion concept. If you're curious, here's a link to another character I created, Rinav the Land Serpent.
Kiara is the lost daughter of Kassadin taken from him by Malzahar for his Void rituals. Unlike Kassadin who was able to fight off the complete corruption of the Void or Malzahar who willingly gave into to its power, Kiara did her best to fight back but ultimately failed. Her body is now host to a void parasite that slowly takes control of her mind and body. Her thoughts and mental state dance back and forth between sanity and complete lunacy as she struggles to maintain some degree of semblance of who she once was.
Role: Kiara is an adc with attack animations similar to Thresh's. Instead of actually firing a projectile, the void tendrils that grow from her body sprout outwards and extend to deal damage to her targets. As her attack speed increases, more tendrils come forth to keep up with her damage. Fighting as Kiara requires careful management of her passive, Control, positioning of her Void Anchors, and general map awareness.
Passive: Control Kiara's passive is Control. Starting with 100 points of control, each auto attack or spell cast causes her to lose control. The less control she has, the more her damage increases by a percentage. However, losing control has it's downsides as well. The less control she has, the more prone to injury she becomes. Having zero control can allow you to kill nearly everyone on your own, but one stray Peacemaker or Mystic Shot might be enough to send you back to base early. Control naturally regenerates over time.
Q - Void Lance Kiara throws her weight forward morphing her left arm into a spear. The range of the spear is equal to her auto attack range and deals damage in a straight line. While it deals a lot and can be good for harass, it will stop short if it hits 3 enemies. Careful positioning is required to harass the enemy Adc without being hit yourself.
W - Void Scythe/Backstep
Kiara's next basic attack turns her arm into a scythe that deals damage in a cone. Hitting an enemy champion with this auto attack steals a % of their movement speed. Striking an enemy champion or Void Anchor reduces the cooldown of Void Scythe/Backstep.
While attacking during W, Kiara steps backwards a short distance giving her space to escape. The distance traveled is roughly inbetween the distance traveled of Riven's dash and Quinn's vault. It's important to note she travels backwards while doing this. If you're trying to escape and use this ability without thinking, you might end up throwing yourself back into the enemy team.
E - Void Anchor Kiara summons a Void Anchor at a target location that grants temporary vision similar to Caitlyn's trap. Dropping it on an enemy champion also deals slight damage to the target. This ability has no cast time and only a maximum of 5 anchors can be present on the map at any one time. Void Anchors spawn with 100hp, appropriate armor/mr defenses. Both Kiara and opponents can both destroy Void Anchors by dealing damage to them. However, Kiara's kit and auto attacks interact in unique ways with her Void Anchors. Auto Attacks - Attacking Void Anchors with basic attacks releases a small amount of void energy, attacking one nearby enemy. This passive prioritizes enemy champions and has a brief cooldown. Enemy champions attacking the void anchor are instead immediately prioritized and cannot put this ability on cooldown.
Q - Striking a Void Anchor with her Q fires off 3 additional Void Lances in a pattern like Twisted Fate's Wild Cards, extending the range of her harass. Each additional Void Lance can trigger this passive on additional Void Anchors, however the damage is cut into thirds.
W - Striking a Void Anchor with Void Scythe causes the Void Anchor to immediately explode dealing damage in an aoe. This aoe deals damage and further slows her pursuers. Kiara receives the additional movement speed stolen by this effect.
R - Wrath of the Void Kiara channels her ultimate for a brief period of time, losing all of her control during the remainder of the ultimate. After channeling, an aoe storm of Void energies appears at her targeted location pulling all enemies within the aoe towards the center. Enemies can escape but they suffer a debilitating slow while in the ultimate. All void anchors within the area are pulled into the maelstrom dealing additional damage as they strike enemy champions. All passive effects from Kiara striking the Void Anchors still apply. At the end of the ultimate, one final eruption deals additional damage to all enemy targets still within the aoe and scatters any surviving anchors within the maelstrom.
In lane, Kiara needs the support of allies who can keep her safe. Champions like Braum can intercept damage she might receive when she attempts to W a Void Anchor. Janna can provide additional peel she'll need as her only form of escape comes from a short distance backstep and close range slow. Then there's always Thresh who's lantern is powerful enough to be an ultimate on it's own.
Enemy champions that can destroy Kiara utterly and one-sidely are Assassins in general. Leona can interrupt Kiara's ultimate with a well placed Solar Flare and Blitzcrank can always grab a zero control Kiara to be killed immediately.
So yeah, there ya go. Feel free to leave a comment and your thoughts.
Edit: Once upon a time, I planned to put dialogue and character interactions here, but then college happened and I completely forgot. Time to alleviate that. As she's internally fighting her own infestation, her dialog changes into a deeper and more malevolent tone depending on her level of control. This is denoted by italics. I'm not going to do item dialogue unless someone asks for it as this is getting quite lengthy as is.
Upon Selection I'm finally home...
Upon starting a game on Summoner's Rift This isn't the world I remember... There's something strange about this place.
Recalling Back to somewhere safe. I need to rest. I will be back. Don't get comfortable.
Attacking Please run away! Prepare yourself. Why am I doing this? Your suffering nourishes me. Please! Stop this! Take the life from them. Get out of my head! The assault continues. The world is filled with suffering. Scream for me. Even the innocent are not safe... Welcome to your end. Turn away and you will live! Blood-curdling. I don't want to harm you! Never wound what you can't kill. If you surrender, the fighting will end. Even the innocent are not safe! Is this all I can do now? Business and pleasure are the same.
Movement Is there any meaning to this? My hunger grows. I miss the warm sands beneath my feet. Deliver me to carnage. This beast gnaws at me. Blood is in the air. I will not become a monster! This battle. This feeling. No place is safe for me. Your sanity nourishes me. (sobbing) Satiate my thirst. Some place safe, even from myself. Each step closer to the end. My mind is not my own. Their end is nigh. Deliver me from evil. The suffering continues.
Upon killing another champion Well done Kiara. Do not say my name. You're a natural at this. Do not liken me to you. So quickly? If they must die, let it be swift. Another innocent life. Isn't it exciting? This is madness! No, this is entertainment. Please stop! But we're just getting started.
Joke Look, no hands! Stop this! Spear, scythe? So many choices. My body is not your plaything! I've become an abomination. I like what you've become.
Taunt The hunt continues. Get out of my head! My hands are not instruments of murder! They are when I'm in control. You're in danger! Haha. Enjoy your stay. Run! I cannot promise your safety! Is that a warning or a threat?
**Taunting an enemy ascended 
**
Why would anyone give up who they were for power?
I am more than you will ever be.
**Taunting an enemy 
**
You! Do you know what you've done!?
Without you, I wouldn't be.
Taunting an enemy 
What kind of man willingly gives up his humanity?
You understand the limits of your own flesh.
**Taunting an enemy 
**
I feel nothing but pity for you poor creature.
Hahaha. You must be a prototype!
Taunting an enemy 
Daddy? Please, save me!
I... I understand. Do what you need to do daddy.
(crying) Daddy.
Turning your blade against your daughter? Who's the monster now?
Father and daughter fighting to kill each other. Hahahahaha!
Your concept of love is brutal and bloody. I like it.
**Taunting an enemy 
**
You! You I have no quarrels destroying!
You took everything from me!
I will never forgive you Malzahar!
You were the beginning but I am the end.
Your powers are only borrowed gifts Malzahar.
A decent attempt. Decent.
Upon casting Void Scythe/Backstep Stay away! Stop! Follow me! Persistent.
Upon casting Void Anchor I need this. This is necessary. A necessary evil. A gift from home. That will do. My influence grows.
Upon casting Wrath of the Void I can't control it! It's too much! (Screaming) Welcome to die! Just like home! (hysterical laughter)
Upon killing Baron Nashor Purple is disgusting. There. It's done. This will do nicely. The end begins!
Upon killing the Dragon I need to borrow your strength. Such as majestic creature. Dragon? Perhaps a whelp instead. Your power nourishes me, serpent.
