(Champion Concept) Gaeg, the Blood Armorer

Name: Gaeg Title: The Blood Armorer Role: Bruiser / Tank / Off - Tank / Gender: Male Race: Human **Appearance: ** Dressed like a normal smith, with a normal hammer as his only weapon and a black apron to protect his linen clothes from the sparks; Gaeg seems out of place in the Fields of Justice. However, when he begins to fight the truth is revealed. With the ability to create unbelievably powerful weapons out of his very blood, and the blood of those he kills, Gaeg becomes a terrifying opponent. As he gains stacks of Coagulation, blood covers his body, starting from his gloves and eventually reaching his hammer and face.

His style of smiting is quite similar to European smiting of around the medieval times. He perfers function over style, so most of his armors are rather simplistic but well made. His armor would generally be more jagged and clear cut on the arms. With his ult active it would have a very smooth helm somewhat like this. His chest and leg plate would follow the more traditional style which you see. All of his armors will be of course blood red and bear no insignia due to a lack of family line.

Like, I can see him using his Q, for example. He would wield his hammer to his left, and the claymore of blood would grow over it as he beings the slash from left to right, resembling Aatrox’s weapon by the time the animation is ending. The claymore could then fall to the ground and dissolve into blood after a second or so.

**Lore: **

For every weapon there is someone who smithed them.

As a child, Gaeg took to the forge like a fish to water. Since the young age of 5, he was obsessed with forging of anything. In particular, weapons and armor, piqued his interest. The boy often fantasized about forging weapons for all the heroes in his books. To create weapons that would last the ages. When he turned 16, his father allowed him usage of the forge beyond simply tasks like billowing the flames. The young man was ecstatic and quickly took to forging a variety of tools from his imaginations. Swords that twisted and curved. Axes that seemed to even the air. Armor that held against the forces of nature it self. . He created masterpiece after masterpiece. This desire to forge soon became a overwhelming drive to forge even greater things. To master new techniques and perfect methods of smithing. His talent only excelled with his obsession with the forge. However such talent, also bred greed. People of all types wanted to purchase the man’s wares. Gaeg, despised the idea that his weapons belong to anyone but heroes of virtue and justice. His father however thought otherwise and would commonly claim that Gaeg’s works are his to sell. This act caused a divide between the son and father.

To escape the averous of his father, Gaeg would commonly venture out into the forest by his home. Ghost tales and rumors kept most people from entering the forest, therefore it was a place of rest for the boy. However one day, he uncovered a cave near the center of the forest, Within it he found a great stone forge etched with runes and sigils. It was unlike anything he had ever seen. It cried out to his very being. Curiosity drew him closer, until his hand was against the smith. He could feel a sensation unlike he had ever known, tales of heroes and saviors arose from his memory. The sensation grew into an urge which he followed, slowly moving his hand along the ancient device. He reached the gap that lead into the forge itself. When he placed his hand within the chamber, the derelict forge bursted with life. Flames unlike any he had seen shot out and climbed his arm. He felt them sinking into his flesh, burning through his veins. Pain surged through him. It was far too much for the boy, and he collapsed.

When Gaeg awoke, the metals had vanished. It wasn’t so long after that he learned what the mysterious bloodworks had actually done. His blood was now the material to create. After the initial fear, Gaeg merely felt intrigue into the new material within himself. He often used his time in the forest to practice this art. The forge seemed like a second home to the man. It filled him with memories of heroes and feelings of valor. Eventually he had learned to use both his and the blood of the animals within the forest.

When the Noxian invasion came, Gaeg was prepared to defend his country. However the man was merely asked to aid the forces in combating the foe by creating weapons for the troops. Gaeg agreed however his father had other ideas. Every night the father would sneak out with the weapons and armors created by Gaeg. The next morning he would return with a great sum of money and the same excuse of “the troops decided to tip us.” Gaeg, did not believe such a lie. The divide only grew between the two men. Eventually near the end of the war, Gaeg decided to follow his father. When he saw the Noxian’s which his father had been trading with, Gaeg was disgusted by the man. The Noxian’s whom made up the small caravan transporting the weapons noticed the boy and threatened him. They were not expecting, Gaeg to slice one of thier allies in half with a crimson claymore created from apparently thin air. The rest came at him, each one he dispatched with relative ease. When he came to see his father cowering beside the weapon cart, Gaeg only felt hate. The boy spared his father’s life and took both the money and weapons, handing them out to the war effort.

When Gaeg learned of Ionia’s victory in the League. Gaeg saw an opportunity. With sheer excitement, the man rushed to the institute of war, wanting to become like the heroes his imagined as a boy. Or at the very least find one that needed a good weapon.
