Hello guys, Before you get to what you really want to see which is the character concept, here is a little about me. I am League of Legends player, a part time writer and a conceptual designer, I have made several game characters and written them all down however have never felt confident in my ideas to publish them, due to many of my ideas being what I consider difficult to create in the game in terms of mechanics, and this one is just the same. However doing some research I have finally created something I really want to share with you all. A champion I have created a concept for called Torevious (The tortured soul).

Now I understand that this will probably never be created, however I have put several hours effort into this character and concept and just wanted to see what the community thought of it. Also, although I do have sketches I am not a decent enough drawer so instead I will leave you with descriptions.

Finally what you want to read -

Lore - Torevious is a character who originates from Shurima, before the time of Azir Azir and Xerath Xerath. Being part of a trinity with Renekton Renekton and Nasus Nasus, Torevious was a god like being whom only sought power and control over all creatures including her brothers. However at the pinacle of her lifetime she had created the ascended spell to make her a true god to all. Until she was betrayed by her brothers who destroyed her during the process of the incantation. Shattering her body into four pieces and burying her across the land of Runeterra.

After hundreds of years two allied treasure hunters by the names of Yanoula and Tia'Kran found three parts of the ancient beings body. The final part they had learned was in the heart of Shurima where the being was destroyed. They quickly gathered the parts they already possessed and headed to the location where as promised they found the final piece of Torevious. After many hours of searching and hunting the eventually cam to the alter where the first attempt of the ascended incantation had taken place, putting all the pieces of the beings body onto the alter they searched around until Yanoula cam across a ancient weapon almost double his height (resembling that of a Khopesh) and Tia'Kran finding a ancient scripture opening the first page and reading the words a bright yet eerily haunting light projected from the alter.

Several moments passed before they had realised that the parts were gone. Only a second later to hear a dark and disturbing voice "You have awoken me my children, now take my power and finish my work." Then the tomb fell silent before a dark red whisp floated between them and split before merging with both Tia'Kran and Yanoula. Imbuing Tia'Kran with the magical power and Yanoula with the strength and raw power of the ancient being.

Now they both wander side by side as companions and something else searching for the ones who destroyed Torevious before..

Characters- When designing this champion I knew I wanted both Tia'Kran and Yanoula to be played. However this also meant that I needed to have differences between them.

Tia'Kran: I wanted Tia'Kran to be this agile-mage that can dodge attacks with relative ease however not be able to deal much damage herself, but even without this Tia'Kran would have faster AA and movement speed. Scales with - AP Ranged Looks- I thought that Tia'Kran should be this human almost elf like creature. Who was taller than most with dark brown hair that tilted more towards black. She would have slightly darker skin tone and wearing Egyptian like clothing, which includes a necklace with the sign of Torevious on it. A golden skirt that stretched down to her feet where she is wearing scandals. On her upper arms she would have two golden and silver clamps each with runes engraved into them and a gem. She would have gauntlets on both of her lower arms both of gold silver and gems.

Yanoula: On the opposite end of the spectrum I wanted Yanoula to be a tanky character who was able to stay in fights, however Yanoula would have slow AA, and movement speed. Scales with - AD Melee Looks- I wanted Yanoula to be this weird Yordel who was a bit wider than the rest of them. Think of a Yordel Darius or Garen (Would be a awesome skin by the way guys) Yanoula would have crazy red hair that spiked upwards making him look a bit like a troll doll. Similar to Tia'Kran he would be wearing full golden armour with silver parts to it. On the chest piece would be the sign of Torevious. As a weapon he would have his (Torevious's) Khopesh which would be close to double his size, he would use it as a two handed weapon.

Abilities- Passive - Due to how ridiculous this character is once you look at the abilities I wasn't sure what would be the best thing for a passive, I thought of something to do with her Q but wasn't sure it would be a good idea.

Q- This ability is the most important for this character to work, as it switches your control between both Tia'Kran and Yanoula similar to how Quin/Valour's Ultimate works.

**W- ** Tia'Kran - This ability shoots out a slow damaging projectile in a straight line and upon reaching the end of the line (or ability activated again) created a area on the ground. If an enemy unit stays atop this area for 3 seconds they are then rooted for the next 1.25 seconds. Yanoula - This ability causes Yanoula to make three quick strikes in a target direction, whilst using this ability he is suppressed and cannot move nor use any abilities or summoner spells (or pots). Any targets hit by these strikes are slowed and if a target is hit by all three, they are supressed for a short duration.

E- Tia'Kran - This ability blinks Tia'Kran to a target location leaving behind her a trail which if stepped on slows and adds a burn effect to opponents. Yanoula - This ability shields Yanoula, plus whilst the shield is active (lasts 5 seconds maximum) adds a burn effect to his auto-attacks.

R- Torevious - This is the one ability that I have named and you can probably guess what it does. Upon using this champions ult both Tia'Kran and Yanoula merge together forming the once lost being Torevious in her true form. This ult works much like Nasus's or Renektons.

Whilst the ultimate is activated Torevoius is presented with a new list of abilities to use to dispose of her enemies.

Q- Torevious's Q "The Reaping" utilises her Khopesh's full power embuing it with magical powers to deal bonus damage and a burn effect.

W- Torevious's W "The Unforgiven" causes a area to form beneath her in this area she would take slightly reduced damage whilst slightly increasing her own damage as long as both her and her opponents were in this area.

E- Torevious's E "Passanger of Death" utilises Torevoius's god like magical abilities to fire 3 high-speed projectiles in a cone shape. If hitting an enemy temporarily adds a negative effect called "Passanger of Death" which causes and of Torevoius's next attacks to deal additional damage. If a unit is killed whilst this effect is applied the effect speads to the two closest enemy units.

Looks- The true form of Torevious is a tall character with a femal like body but a jackal like head. Torevious would be dressed similarly to Tia'Kran, however she would be holding the Khopesh except in one hand instead of two using her other for casting spells.

Torevoius would scale with both AP and AD so it wouldn't matter which of the two you invested in for Tia'Kran or Yanoula; Torevious would still be able to deal decent damage.

If you made it to the end of this Character Concept - Torevious (The Tortured Soul) I thank you for your time in reading something I have put time into creating. I am aware of how out there it is, but it is like many of my other creations. Anyway I hoped you enjoyed learning about the character I have created and I cant wait to read your comments.

it seems to me like you should split them to three different champs and develop them further. because they are good ideas each in its own. together though... its seems a bit messy(too me at least) like there isnt some thing that logically ties the three kits together, and the fact a third of your concept becomes extremely weak by default( depending if you go ap or ad) isn't a fun thing (look at other champs that "change forms" you don't choose to make one strong while the other gets very weak).

you get an up vote for creativity though :)
