I have this idea for a champ, the idea being a solidly flexible Tanky Marksman, who also can Support, or even jungle.

His origins are in an alternate futuristic dystopian reality, where science is strictly monitored to protect whats left of his fragile world, wracked by irresponsible progression. he is an elite assault soldier under the command of a governing body desperately trying to protcect what remains, who along with his brothers are deployed to stop a mad scientist from activating a einstein/rosen bridge(or something similar, total honesty, I don't know much about astrophysics) but arrive too late as the device malfunctions and rips a hole in reality. Kaine( His name for now) is the only one, along with his damaged drone air support, are yanked through the resulting dimensional anomaly and wakes up on runeterra, lost without his brothers. Scholars from the league find him, and invite him to join, in return for their help trying to find a way back to his home.

That's all i have as far as back story goes for now, so I'm open to ideas.

I should note here that kaine comes from a world without magic, so his abilities would either have high cooldowns, or as an added little game changer, you would have to buy grenades for his q from the shop, to be used however needed.

His passive would be Run 'n Gun, and would allow him to fire his assault rifle AND run at the same time, similar to Lucian's ult, except for basic attacks. making for great chase and retreat potential, though I think if hes running and shooting behind him, he wouldn't run as fast.(I mean, he's running backwards, you know?) would be great for kiting, though it'd be a little tricky to get used to.

His Q would be a thrown grenade, either a frag grenade, (high damage, slow) a stimulant gas can, (big boost in hp regen, some movement speed, and would buff attack damage for melee champs or attack speed for ranged champs) or, a flashbang grenade, that either, stuns, or slows a little as well as inflicting a quick fading screen white-out. This would be similar to twisted fate's card select, save, that instead of waiting for the card to light up, activating q would allow for the selection of effect with another q, w, or e. leveling would allow only one of the three to be upgraded, with three available upgrade slots on each, so you would have a level three frag, and level two flash, and vice versa depending on the role your'e playing. so as the game goes, you choose which effect to buff as the game's situation warrants. As support, if your team is losing, get the points into the stim, and make the flashbang your secondary. ADC? max frag then flashbang. Jungle? max Flashbang and put a point in stim and frag, for the extra gank potential and that little extra healing so you can stay in the jungle longer.

Kaine's W would be a dodge roll, similar to vayne's, which has him avoid abilities. this one is the only one I'm having trouble with so if you have an opinion, i'd love to hear it.

The E would be a dash bayonet charge, dealing some decent damage, and a knock back/ stun enemy champs. this would be invaluable for a support keeping enemies off his retreating ADC, or a great team fight initiator if you're jungling and come in from the side, delivering one very unlucky enemy champ right into your teams hands.

Last, kaine's ult should be a high damage air strike, delivered by the drone gunship he brought along and repaired. first he would throw a smoke marker to designated location, then choose the direction it comes from (like Thresh's Flay, and maybe a second or two later, the gunship flies overhead, delivering that high damage and slowing effect (maybe) in a line. like an instant gangplank artillery strike. also, the time it takes for the strike depends on where you are and what direction the strike is coming from. On the bottom of the map, having the strike come from the south would be pretty quick. this is why i don't think we would be great on a mid laner and only ok as a jungler, though the grenades maxed could do the job.

Because this all seems a little op, he should probably have decently high cooldowns and have a pretty squishy early game. (think Nautilus) Also, in such a situation,instead of putting points into his ult, he could instead put them into his grenades. this dynamic could make him a suitable champ for almost any position. it'd take some getting used to, but a master would be everyone's best friend.

Here's my idea of what he should look like. Think Desert Ranger from Fallout: New Vegas, mixed with Starwars clone trooper, and all black, with a marine's rifle from Star Craft, with an ultra badass bayonet on the end.

Optional skins would be: *Space Commando Kaine, (like a Space Marine from Warhammer 40k but much less beefy with a starfighter as his ult) *Guerrilla Kaine, (with a M16, camo fatigues, and an AC Thunderbolt as his ult animation, look that bird up it's so beastly) and finally *Space Invader Kaine, (like a Mars Attacks! theme with a UFO as his ult)

Let me know some what you think, this is all rough draft and really his W could use it haha.
