Nero : Eternities Warrior Revised - Now Eien, the Endless Watcher
Tidings!
I've played around some more with Eien's (used to be Nero) concepts, and have revised his abilities. Keep in mind, the ratios are not well tuned, so if this ever got somewhere, there would need to be serious editing on the ratios. Some things are the same, however, there are some larger changes on his passive and his ult.
Passive - Tears of Reality
Whenever Eien uses an ability, the ground where his weapon touched the ground (ties in with animations) becomes torn. Enemies who stand on this area take 15+(1 per level)(5% of bonus AD) true damage every second. The torn ground lasts for 5 seconds, and abilities add more tears to the ground, though once the five seconds are up, the ground cannot be torn again for 30 seconds. {The torn ground isn't wide or large - it is like thin lines that cross around the ground. You have to use several abilities to make it thoroughly effective} Eien also can cast each of his abilities (save his ult) a second time after each cast for an additional effect, but doing so adds 10 seconds (scales down to 7 with each point in ultimate) to each of his abilities cooldown timers, even if they haven't been used. (After he double casts an ability, all his others except his ultimate are put on cooldown of said value. If already on cooldown, they get more time equal to the time above. If they arent on cooldown, they go on cooldown for the time listed above). Eien can wait 2 seconds to cast the ability a second time before it goes on cooldown.
Q - Dawn/Dusk First cast - Eien swings his sword in an arc in front of him, dealing 60/70/80/90/100 + ( 90% of attack damage) damage to all enemies a short distance ahead of him. .5 sec cast time, cooldown 20 sec, loses 1 sec with each point put into skill. 2nd cast, Dusk - Eien swings again in a 360 slash, dealing 75/85/95/105/115 + (125% of attack damage) damage to all enemies around him, with double the range (still fairly short range, becomes about a Darius sized Q). 1 sec cast time, adds passive cooldown
W - (Needs Name) First cast - Eien briefly charges then lunges in a straight line (Length of about a Lucian Q, maybe a bit more), dealing 50/55/70/90/115 + (50% of Bonus attack damage) damage to enemies hit. If he hits an enemy champion, he stops at them, but the enemy is airborn for .5 sec and slowed by 50% for 1/1.2/1.4/1.6/1.8 seconds. 15 second cooldown, loses 1 sec with each point put in. 2nd Cast - Eien reactivates to vault backwards to his original lunge starting point. Adds passive cooldown.
E - (Needs Name) 1st cast - Nero leaps to the target location, dealing 50/60/70/80/90 +(80% of bonus attack damage) damage to targets around him, and stuns them for 1/1.1/1.2/1.3/1.5 seconds. 30 second cooldown, loses 1 second with every point put into skill. 2nd cast - Nero Targets and opponent and kicks them a short distance away from him, dealing the above value again to the single target. Adds passive cooldown.
R - The Chikage For 5/10/18 seconds, Eien gains a surge of movement speed (30% at all ranks) and reflects 15/20/30% of all damage BEFORE armor and magic resist back at his attackers. (If they deal 100 damage, 15/20/30 damage back, as the type of damage it dealt)
I like the animation idea for it - leaning in low as he runs, similar to project yi, but his arms behave like home guard Braum, with the sword hanging low and still, and his left arm pumping. Whenever he gets hit by an ability, a spectral image of his, like a shadowy guinsoo clone appears and returns the damage in the same animation, but it looks like a shadow of Eien returned it.
LORE (Short one) Eien is the name that the incarnation of Eternity has taken. Once a mortal being that tired of his reality, he studied and sought knowledge on how to become something more. Eventually, he became an undying, immortal being, and took the name of Eternity as his own. Traveling between many worlds, he amuses himself by immersing itself into worlds, and learns the abilities and magics that belong to each universe, constantly expanding his skill and knowledge. When he shifted his eyes to Runterra, he saw aspects of death, powerful humans and creatures that defied reason, and cosmic beings that where sealed to and attracted that world. With a amused smile, he descended to Runterra, to once again expand his horizons.
Please leave some notes or comments on how he could be improved, his strengths, and such. If a conversation gets going, ill expand on Eien a bit more! Many Thanks!
