[Champion Concept] Orvec, the Saint of Sickness

Orvec, the Saint of Sickness

(I don’t have any numbers nailed down. This post is just for the concept.)

Appearance: Orvec is an older man wearing priestly robes in green and black. He is bald, with large patches of greenish diseased skin on his head and face. His left hand has been replaced with a Zaunite medical apparatus, bristling with hypodermic needles and featuring a circular bonesaw (like a regular circular saw, but uglier and used for cutting bone).

Lore: Orvec was a gifted Zaunite medical researcher, specializing in the synthesis of virulent diseases. Early in his career, he had his hand replaced with a medical apparatus in order to better operate on his test subjects. Years of research and experiments yielded his masterpiece: the Terminus, the deadliest malady ever concocted in Zaun labs. Unfortunately, a test subject ridden with the disease attempted to escape, and in the scuffle, infected Orvec.

Over several weeks, pain wracked his body and fever filled his brain. When his fever burned its hottest, Orvec came to a revelation: the Terminus was no mere illness, but the ultimate test of survival, perhaps even the key to ascend to a higher form of life. He and the disease are one now, his body ravaged but even stronger than before, his mind sharp but demented. He has donned holy robes in reverence to the Terminus and its power, and his role in spreading the sickness.

Orvec’s sacred mission is to test Runeterra by spreading the Terminus to every creature in it, and create a new society from the survivors. It may be a lonely quest: thus far, the Terminus’ only survivor is Orvec himself.

Role: Melee AP Jungler/Assassin Melee weapon: Circular bonesaw Resource: Mana

Passive – Spreading Plague: Enemies attacking Orvec receive a “Spreading Plague” debuff, which deals minor magic damage (based on champion level) over time and stacks up to three times. Q – Torpid Virus: Orvec fires a syringe from his apparatus in a line. The first enemy hit by the syringe takes AP-based magic damage and is (strongly) slowed for a few seconds. This attack has a short cooldown but cannot slow the same enemy again for several seconds (they’ve built up an immunity). W – Boneslash: Orvec spins his bonesaw in a circle around him, dealing AP-based magic damage. Enemies take additional damage if they are slowed, rooted, stunned, silenced or blinded. E – Blinding Fever: Orvec fires a hypodermic needle at target enemy, dealing AP-based magic damage over time, briefly blinding them and reducing their vision (like Graves’ smoke grenade, but only for a single target). R – Terminal Ascension: All nearby enemy champions receive maximum stacks of “Spreading Plague.” For the next X seconds, Orvec gains massive movespeed and his autoattacks become ranged (he fires syringes) and do heavy additional magic damage (based on AP) over time.
