Champion Concept: Karian, The Conscientious Objector
This champion was inspired by artwork from Mazamero on Deviantart. Mainly this picture. With that face in mind, let's get going!
Lore: Karian had always been very much in touch with nature and all living things. Her parents often worried about her, as it seemed that she could feel the sorrow of others as if it was her own. When war came to Runeterra, Karian fell into a deep depression, rarely eating and simply wasting away along with the countryside as she watched it become scarred and scorched as battles raged again and again. Her parents saw their child withering away and desperately tried to feed and nurture her. When she refused, her father became irate screaming that she could not let the pain of the world infect her mind, that she was too weak and needed to toughen up. Karian was heartbroken, and ran away from home. She fled across the countryside, wading through battlefields and clambering around abandoned villages. One day as she was traveling she went to rest under a tree, with branches crowded with crows. She was drawn to this tree because she felt a great energy emanating from it, and seeing as to how she has not seen another living thing in quite some time, the crows seemed to explain the feeling. This, however, was no ordinary tree. It was in fact the Treant Maokai, and he sensed a great deal of compassion, empathy and love in Karian. However, he also sensed grief, hatred and anger which he knew he could drive Karian to do great things. As she rested, he infused her with the fierce magical powers of the ancient Shadow Isles. The energy flowed through her, feeding off of her wounded spirit and changing her into something a little more than human. Her skin grew dark grey, like the ash that covered the lands and when she woke her eyes shone a vibrant orange like a brilliant sunset. The magic coursed through her and for the first time, Karian did not feel helpless. She beckoned the crows to follow her, and set off to bring those with malicious intent and evil hearts to justice, even if it meant tormenting her own soul even more.
Autos: Karian auto attacks by sending crows to slash at enemies from a medium range
Passive: Carrion Karian feels a great sense of relief and revitalization every time she kills or helps kill an enemy champion. She receives [50 hp/sec (+%35 AP) ] and 50 mana/sec (+45%AP)] for 5 seconds every time she kills or assists.
Q: Murder Karian surges to a target location in a swarm of crows dealing 75/115/155/170 (+40%AP) to enemies caught in the way. Cooldown 15/13/10/10
W: Splinter Karian calls gnarled trees from the ground creating a barrier (about the length of Jinx's E.) The barrier lasts for 4 seconds but can be reactivated to burst and send splinters flying out to cause light AoE damage. 20/45/80/110 (+30%AP) Cooldown 16/14/12/10
E: Gouge Karian frantically tries to destroy her enemy lashing out in 4 quick savage strikes with her clawed hands. Activate E, land an auto, and the cooldown is reset 4 times. After the 4th one, or if you fail to land an auto within 1.5 seconds, the cooldown goes to 14/12/10/8. Damage dealt on each E enhanced auto is 40/70/100/150(+40%AP) These autos apply on-hit effects
note: considered making this ability AD so that she'd be a hybrid since this is her main damage dealer, thoughts?
R: Sunset Karian channels for 1 second then unleashes the power of her eyes. She casts the orange light of her eyes in a cone that fears all enemies it hits for 1/1.5/2 seconds. If she hits more than 1 enemy with her gaze, her cooldowns are refreshed.
You'd want to build: -AP -CDR
- A little attack speed
This is my first time adding in numbers and percentages, so let me know what you guys think! I think she'd be a lot of fun with a lot of potential for sick plays.
