A few champions I think would be interesting as Star Guardians.
Her weapons could be two familiars. I think their names should contrast one another, like one literal translation means light and another darkness or something. In Akali's lore she's about balance, light and darkness, and I think this clarity of understanding they need each other makes her an interesting candidate to join the team. Especially if champs like Jinx, that wreck havoc, and Syndra who is dark by nature can be candidates I don't see why Akali couldn't be. I think it would be interesting to say her family had former knowledge of the Star Guardians, her mother plays a big part in her traditional lore, so maybe her mother was a fallen star of the past?
It's just perfect, make Tibber's her familiar who is overly protective and just smacks other's around. I imagine her lore being as the youngest of the star guardian's, that results in her violent outbursts, and it's the real reason why her tibber's familiar is so active in her fights because she hasn't realized her true potential.
The weapon I think would be similar to the intent of Ezreal's, that when fired is like a crossbow. Her familiar could be called Avarosa that would correspond with her original lore. That or you could name it Hawkshot like her e skill. I can imagine her being one of the leaders of the other teams if only because the sacrifice she showed in her original lore; Instead of wanting retribution she went for peace to extend an olive branch and unite the tribes. I can see this as more dark prone Star Guardian's, that wreck havoc like Syndra or jinx, and wants her team to look past their indifference and fight to defend the universe.
Honestly, I think she needs some love. Also, I think it would be a missed opportunity not to have her as as something unique as being a rather unorthodox star guardian of sorts. For her story I could imagine it being something along the lines of her familiar or familiars gave her the ability of movement, being capable of walking, where maybe she was paralyzed before? Because of the hardships endured, her previous handicap, she's a bit more harsh and cold to the world and is more of a pessimistic. Often times an over analyzer in situations and she's an incredible tactician in the lore. Maybe not on the leader scale, because her inability to fully trust in other's, but a word of wisdom to her corresponding leader. As for her familiar names? Not sure, I'd leave that up to anyone whose willing to give any suggestions.
Obviously, maybe she's on the darker spectrum of the line like Syndra or my suggestion before, akali, she believes in a balance of darkness and light. To correspond with her traditional lore; Where it says this "Diana is no longer wholly human, and struggles to divine her power and purpose in this world." Maybe, she was a star guardian who was believed dead but didn't completely burn out. Maybe she is going through an internal conflict within herself of clinging to the light, hope and optimism, but finds herself drowning in a sea of darkness? Perhaps she's even one of the fallen Star Guardians off of Ahri or even Janna's team?
I think there needs to be a few more guys on the list. I remember reading something somewhere that said that ezreal was picked because he's a more slender, lean, build as to oppose to more of the massive guys. Well Ekko fits that criteria as well. I remember in the comic where his friend died; I think this would be a good thing to keep in the alternate lore where maybe it was then when he realized his powers or answered the call. Using light maybe he's capable of "rewinding time" or say he clairvoyant. It could be that the familiar itself is incredibly unique and that it actually is doing the "rewinding."
When I looked up her lore it showed she actually has some connection to Soraka. So, I think it would be cool to say something along the lines of Irelia was originally a casual bystander who was injured by the voidling invaders, but was spared and healed by Soraka. This may later inspire her to defend her home, friends, from harms way and invoked her being chosen at a later time as one of the new guardians. Her weapon itself would be neat to see updated visually to something cool like the other guardian's have been using. The familiar could be the reason why the projectiles are shot from her ult. Also, I saw that apparently Syndra is a rival of hers. Perhaps something could be said in the lore of when Raka went to heal the injured Irelia that Syndra told her not too, or as to say it was a waste of energy/health for just a single lost soul.
Saw this one someone else mentioned and I have to agree it would be interesting. Similar to jinx, with her two familiars for the minigun and rocket launcher, it could work for his hammer form and the other. Says that he is friends with Ezreal, maybe like how Lux and Jinx in the lore are childhood friends EZ and Jayce could be as well? Hell maybe poppy has a crush on him or has an immense respect for him because he uses a hammer and believes him to be "The Hero".
Honestly, I imagine it would be easier to visualize this one because all you have to do is edit the diamond headband thing into a star. Her familiar could be called "Mantra" like her ult, and it's because of this those spells are much more powerful. As for her lore perhaps she's much more devoted, headstrong, in embracing their duty of defeating the evil because she's seen those close to her hurt by them. Because of her connections and Irelia being an ally, I think it would be interesting and nice to have them on the same team. They both share a desire to protect those they care for and I imagine in the star guardian lore that would make them close friends with similar beliefs.
It's hinted that Syndra might have a hidden agenda and this perfectly goes well with Leblanc's traditional lore of the order she was a part of. Perhaps these two, part of the same original team, left to infiltrate other guardian teams to keep an eye on them? That's a possibility or just having her being a guardian that embraces the darker elements. Her familiar could be responsible for the copy cat. It also describes in her lore the rough conditions and villainy of Noxus; Perhaps that warped her perspective, her up bringing in this star guardian lore, and it's the reason she believes in chaos rather than order.
First off the familiar would be named "Zenith". Her lore should be heavily tied with Diana. Perhaps she loathes Diana believing she willingly fled the light to embrace the darkness; unaware of the struggle that were enduring. Leona I could imagine as being narrow viewed, black and white, perspective of either this or that. This would make her a formidable ally in battle, dedicated, but difficult to interact with. Because her light is so bright, on the account of the sun original lore, she's overly confident in her abilities and sometimes struggles to relate or sympathize with her team.
I would say Lissandra, but I think she makes for a better Dark Star skin line than this. However, it's not impossible. Perhaps she's one of the original star guardians, and perhaps even the one mentioned in Janna's story of the one who went rogue. (Assuming Ahri, Syndra, or whoever wasn't already in mind from the design team.)
I think it's possible, her staff could be similar to lux's, and with the inclusion of Ahri in the current star guardian roster it shows that "humans" aren't the only ones selected. I mean, there are thousands of species across the galaxy, so I don't know why only the humans should be picked. Same could be said of other's like Cassiopea, Elise, and Nidalee who maybe merged with their familiar's to give them more animalistic appearances? Perhaps, they were special instances of familiars given these more human like forms to combat the darkness?
Her familiar named Valor, that gives her the wings, that she uses to ride into battle. It also says in her lore she craved adventure, similar to EZ, so maybe they crossed paths in the past? Maybe Valor and Ez's familiar are "brothers" or "Twin familiars" that just picked different users? I imagine this version of Quinn to be very noble, serious, and uses her exceptional combat skills to assist her team. I think it would be funny to say that's why Valor picked her, because they shared the same ideology of being serious, as where Ezreal is described being a bit aloof and wandering off at times. Meaning, while similar, one is incredibly laid back (Ezreal) and the other much more dedicated to the cause (Quinn). I think the familiars, the Brother familiars, should be at odds with one another should they ever be in a game together. Maybe to the point that Quinn and Ez have an interaction of holding back the little guys desperately trying to claw each other or something adorable like that lol.
She'd be the only of the Star guardian's that rode on her familiar. Can't remember her creature's name for the life of me, but that should be used for the same name. I think it would be interesting to have her on the same team as an Ashe Star Guardian because of their traditional lore; They would constantly be at odds with one another as far as tactics, of what to do, but Ashe would see her as an asset to give substance to the team and to give insight of someone who doesn't always agree with her own plans. {Ashe that is, would be thankful of her comrade's blatant honesty instead of just blindly following. This could result in a powerful team and strong rivals that push one another to greater heights.}
In the spirit of something a bit more cool. I'd think it would be nice to have her familiar named Crescendo that would have a unique roll. That being an interpreter to other star guardians because she can not speak, being a mute. Her familiar is capable of speaking to her via telepathy and then can communicate with fellow familiars who then relay that information to the other guardians. I think this would be rewarding for the character that I imagine sometimes could be lonely being incapable of fully expressing themselves, and this opportunity could mean Sona was able to make friends she deeply connects with.
In the spirit of having more guys in the roster, I think he could potentially be one. If only because he's not too bulky. Other than that as far as lore, familiar stuff, and etc. I'd leave that to anyone who'd like to contribute ideas.
Familiar named "Boomer" like her weapon is called in the traditional lore. I can imagine a fat little familiar when used, the bomb in her kit, would hover over enemies and every AA she shot at her familiar made him more angry. That explosive temper causes the AOE damage that revolves around this yordle's kit. As for lore, I don't have any ideas as to that for her in the SG continuity.
Now, everyone has said it and I'll say it again. Tuxedo mask inspired skin. The cards could be Red, blue, and golden roses that hover over his head. Animation could be little roses or rose petals thrown about. Perhaps a unique interaction with SG Miss Fortune? As for his lore I've got nothing lol.
Magical Gauntlets. Would have strong interactions with SG Ekko if it was made, and of course Jinx. Maybe more hints at the later's relation to Vi? Maybe even having interactions with SG Jayce if that were made. I imagine her being a more abrupt by any means hero. Has no quarrel with resulting in violence if it means getting the job done and it may put her at odds with some of her fellow team mates. Would loathe being compared to jinx despite having some same mannerisms.
In her traditional lore it's mentioned her father sung her songs of ancient tales. Now, imagine this time around her father is singing tales of the Star Guardian's? Maybe her kind were the first accepted, chosen, or at least believed to be as Star Guardians. She accomplished her goals of returning that power to her people when she, a Vastayan, was chosen to be a SG after many generations of not having any. Using these abilities she hopes to protect the universe, like the stories her father told her while she was young, and makes quite the impression on one particular individual of her kind who also becomes selected as a SG. As for her familiar I can imagine it being responsible for her feathers.
Originally a shallow, selfish individual who put his needs before other's, was greatly moved when he saw Xayah literally throw herself in harms way to help others. This inspired him to aide her, even before becoming a SG and getting his powers, and Xayah originally thought him a burden in the fight; wanting him to stand down, for his safety. However, despite his injuries he kept getting up and up to fight despite not having the strength to do anything. For this reason, his persistence and bravery, he was chosen as a Star guardian who managed to emerge at the cliche last minute to save Xayah before she was completely outnumbered. The two could either be a unique team that only include two, or they later join up with three other's.
Anyway, just a few suggestions I had for the next group. I hope there is at least one you all like. If not, sorry for having wasted your time with the read. Would be super cool if any of these got picked, and a member of Riot adapted one of the ideas to implement into their lore if they were selected. That or it inspired maybe them into making something far better.
