##Lore: Many tales in Ionia were either bore the content of a woman stealing from bears, or deep in religious meaning. Countless of the former stories were simply produced to teach children life lessons, such as ‘respect what does not belong to you.’ By nature, these stories were seldom in truth and scarce in death, causing a single story to become refrained from being spread outside of a small circle.
In essence, tales of the Spectrum Stealer were obscure and vague; they did not tell of Nyx’s name, nor did they tell of Nyx’s history.
“Nyx, as my child, I view you as my greatest work of art.”
Countless decades ago, a painter’s child was overcome with pride, and as the young do, they brag to other children. Happy for their parent’s work, they told all they could of the wonderful art that came to be from their hands. Eventually, as many do, people lost patience with the child’s inability to hold their tongue. The other children berated and harassed Nyx, forcing the painter to take action. Meeting with a witch, the artist constructed the deal; in trade for the ruining of their most prized piece of art, their child would no longer feel the wrath and hate of others.
The child soon felt the effects, their body draining of color day by day, their emotions vanishing all the same. Both conditions met, the deal ended, Nyx unable to feel.
Nyx’s opinion of their family changed. The pride started to vanish, soon replaced by spite for the accident the painter caused. With no more sense of remorse, they killed them, rapidly finding the bodies grow grey, color seeping into their hands.
The Spectrum Stealer now is said to wander Runeterra, preying on the colors of others, hoping to feel once more.
##Appearance: Nyx is a child-like entity, their face seemingly scratched off the screen, leaving a black two-dimensional blur over it. Their skin and clothes are pure gray, and they float slightly off the ground, giving off an unearthly, supernatural aura. They are not much to look at, but they make up for this by greatly contrasting with the environment around them.
##Base stats: Health: 560(+84) Health Regen: 7.4(+0.70) Mana: 360(+42) Mana Regen: 7.5(+0.68) Attack Damage: 60(+3) Attack Speed: 0.625(+2.6%) Armor: 28(+2) Magic Resistance: 35(+1.2) Range: 125 Movement Speed: 345
##Kit:
[P] Achromatic: Nyx’s basic abilities passively cause them to paint themselves a color based on the ability cast, granting their abilities bonus effects. Painting themselves places this on a 14/12/10/8 second cooldown. Attacks reduce this cooldown by 1 second. Additionally, Nyx’s attacks paint the target White for 2 seconds. This cannot be applied more than once within 8 seconds to the same target after detonation (affected by cooldown reduction). Attacking this target with an ability causes the mark to detonate, dealing 60-200(+20% AP) magic damage to the target (based on level).
[Q] Creative: Cooldown: 14 second cooldown Cost: 70/80/90/100/110 Mana Range: 750 Units Width: 175 Units Speed: 1200 Units Nyx propels paint in the target direction, dealing 60/90/120/150/180(+60% AP) magic damage to the first enemy struck. If they are an enemy champion, they are marked as Green for 2 seconds. If used to transform, Nyx paints themselves green. While green, attacking Green targets grants you a shield equal to 80-200(+40% AP)(+10% HP) (based on level), which rapidly decays over 1 second. (based on level). This shield may only be refreshed 3 times.
[W] Gaudy Deterrent: Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12 second cooldown Cost: 80 Mana Dash distance: 350 Units Nyx protects themselves from the next enemy ability within 2 seconds. Blocking an ability allows them to reactivate this, dashing in the target direction. If used to transform, Nyx paints themselves blue. While blue, Creative explodes upon contact, dealing 25% of its damage to nearby enemies and marks all struck enemy champions as Green. Damaging Green enemies grants you 20% bonus movement for 2 seconds, stacking up to 5 times.
[E] Lurid Lashes: Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 second cooldown Cost: 60 Mana Dash distance: 600 Units Cone radius: 60 Degrees Cone distance: 200 Units Nyx dashes in the target direction, dealing 20/30/40/50/60(+20% AP) magic damage to units passed through. After 0.5 seconds, this can be reactivated, causing Nyx to fling paint out in a short cone, deal 40/60/80/100/120(+60% AP) magic damage to enemies hit. If used to transform, Nyx paints themselves red. While red, Creative can strike multiple units. Damaging enemies afflicted with Green applies a stack of Red, which detonates at the end of Green’s duration to deal 25-50(+10% AP) true damage per stack (based on level).
[R] Chromatic Collapse: Cooldown: 150/135/120 second cooldown Cost: 100 Mana Radius: 650 Units Dash range: 650 Units Nyx dives in the target direction and steals color from the surrounding area for 8 seconds, dealing 50/75/100(+10% AP) magic damage. Nyx is granted 20 additional movement speed for every enemy in this zone. After 1 second, this can be reactivated, causing you to dash to the target and collapse the zone around them, dealing 100/150/200(+80% AP) magic damage. While green, Nyx is shielded for 10(+1.0% per 100 AP)% of the current health of each unit struck by the initial cast, rapidly decaying over 2 seconds. While blue, collapsing the zone stuns units struck for 0.8(+0.1 seconds per 100 AP) seconds. While red, the second cast does a bonus 10(+1.0% per 100 AP)% of their missing health in bonus true damage to the target.
