Ace: The Martial Assassin (Bruiser/Juggernaut)

Backstory: Caught in an abusive family, Ace was a troubled child who knew all to well the harsh reality of the world; whereas other children his age laughed and played, he was too busy being beaten by his abusive father and tending to his sickly mother to know what friends were. Ace stayed at home keeping his mother, who was bed-ridden, alive as best he could but his abusive father would worsen her condition daily when he got home from work to relieve some stress. Ace tried to stop his father every time, and he would always be knocked out cold from his father's strong beating to awaken to find his mother with broken bones. Ace's family lived far away from civilization so he had no idea where to go for help and no one knew exactly what his father did to get money, but he always brought food home; and whatever scraps were left when he was done eating, Ace would feed to his mother and often go hungry. One day, when Ace was a little older, his father got home and went through the same old routine of abusing his wife; this time however, Ace decided to abandon his humanity to save the one thing he cared about. He went to the kitchen and got a knife, and while his father was distracted he kicked him in the back of the leg to get his father's attention. As soon as hsi father turned around, he stabbed his old man right in his middle section of the body. The man fell on his knees in pain staring eye to eye with his son, who then proceeded to stab his father right in the eyes blinding him and making him overwhelmed with pain. As his father lay on the floor unable to move he carved out the man's heart and held it in his hands. "You took away my heart long ago old man, and now I'm taking back what's mine. May the spirits of the afterlife have mercy on you, because I shall have none. Not anymore." And crushed the heart in his hands and therm it down on the face of the corpse. his mother was horrified at the scene that had occurred and he looked her in the eyes with the face of a beast and he saw the look of fear and suffering in her eyes. He then told her everything would be alright and he held her in his arms as she died from the traumatic experience. Left to fend off for himself Ace wondered about and killed people left and right for anything he wanted, whether it be food or money. As Ace grew even older and got into his late teenage years he studied martial arts to improve his fighting capabilities until he developed his own special martial style that involves acrobatics and knives; his signature weapon. No one knows exactly how Ace picks his targets due to his deranged nature, but those he deems to evil top be saved he rids from the Earth on a quest to right all wrongs of the earth; no matter how wrong he may be in doing so.

Autro Attack: A combination of stabbing with single handed knives and powerful kicks (Mele)

Passive

Q (Vertical Assault) Without Knife Juggling- Kicks an enemy into the air and back a good distance dealing a medium amount of damage. If the enemy crashes into a wall or structure they take massive damage and are stunned. If an enemy hits another enemy or multiple enemies, they all go flying but the distance they fly backwards is reduced for each enemy hit and extra damage taken from knocking into wall is reduced for each enemy. This is a single target ability and cannot be activated without targeting an enemy.

With Knife Juggling- jumps in the air and becomes immune to cc for a couple of seconds (Can still be hit by attacks and take damage) and while in air throws knives out at nearby enemies that are on his sides (Left and right sides, not in-front or back, includes diagonals) dealing mid damage and temporarily slows enemies hit. Knives thrown increase with each rank of Knife Juggling and can only hit each enemy once.

W (Knife Juggling):

• Passive- Increases the max amount of knives available for use in abilities with every rank

• Active- When toggled on Ace starts juggling knives. He may move around while this is activated, however he will be slowed while the ability is toggled on. Toggling on enables his abilities to have side effects and changes the way he interacts with enemy champions.

E (Takedown) Without Knife Juggling- Performs a quick dash toward the cursor (no matter which direction Ace is facing) with Ace's arms spread out with knives in each hand that will damage and slow any enemies hit by the knives. Enemies must be out of his line of dash but within the hit-box of his arms/hands to take damage. If his dash runs directly into an enemy Ace immediately stopped and slowed for a couple of seconds. and the enemy takes no damage and is not slowed. Even if Ace hits an enemy and they take damage and are slowed, he finishes his dash; it will not stop just because he landed his attack.

With Knife Juggling- Ace throws all of his knives in the air that he will not use for this specific attack and performs the same dash as if he hadn't used his knife juggling, however when he gets to the end of his sprint he automatically sprints back the same path. Enemies hit 2 times (1 on the first sprint and then on the way back are stunned and take a larger amount of damage; and when Ace gets back to his starting point he catches the knives he threw in the air and is back to his normal stance.

R (True Sight) Ace must have Knife Juggling enabled to perform this ability; True Sight is also a toggle ability.

Ace starts rapidly throwing his knives with such momentum and precision in rapid succession that every knife hits enemies within a mid range of him and causes bleeding over time damage as well as impact damage.

Animation for R: Picture a bunch of knifes being juggled in a perfect circle and every time he catches a knife in his hand he throws it perfectly straight at an enemy and instantly catches the next knife, his hand movement is ludicrous fast and if as his ult progresses he starts moving around and spinning around without changing the pattern of the juggling. Imagine a giant circle with a person behind it staring at you and them walking through the middle of the circle without the circle changing its angle or position as the person twirls around in circles almost like a sped up waltz. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Playstyle and laning

Ace is a bruiser/assassin hybrid who can either build full damage and just melt enemies while having to rely on strategically timed cc to escape when the situation looks bad, or he can build tanky and rely in his cc to weaken his targets for his team mates to finish off. A hybrid build of AD and defense should be optimal for survive-ability and being able to slaughter his foes.

Ace is meant to be a top lane champion as he excels in 1v1 situations but at later levels can handle himself against multiple opponents.Optimally he should be able to 1v3 when relying on his ult and 1v2 when relying on his E and Q combo depending on how he itemizes.

Notes:

1. His backstory can be tweaked to make it slightly less dark if need be

Any questions/comments/thoughts/concerns? I would like to know what you think, would you play him?
