[Champion Concept] Azalin, The Sacrificer
#Introduction & Backstory
Azalin is a Top/Jungler fighter/assassin/tank, who uses mana for his abilities. He is a melee champion, using a large halberd with a large axe like blade, he holds it 1-handed though. In his other hand he holds his own heart, this is what he uses for his abilities.
Azalin is a very special type of Immortal, he can die just like anyone else but his heart, which is completely indestructible, will recreate his body wherever it is no matter what.
Azalin wears tattered and worn robes that expose his chest where there is a large hole from where he ripped out his heart. He doesn't wear any form of protection as dying means nothing to him. He wears a silver necklace that hangs down to his mid-chest area, on the necklace is a silver angel holding a heart to her chest (the angel of his religion). His Halberd-axe is very ancient in design and despite its thousands of years of use it isn't worn down in the slightest. Azalin is slightly larger then the average man and has a muscular build, his face is very stern but tired from his very long life.
No one knows where Azalin comes from, over the years even he forgot where he came from. He was around during all the great wars and even before the people behind them were even born. It was a bit after the Rune Wars where he was finally captured and held prisoner in an undisclosed location in a town connected to the Summoners, until he broke out. His immortality comes from an ancient religion worshiping an angel of death, where you sacrifice others for immortality and as long as you continue to take others lives you will remain immortal, but Azalin is a special case. Azalin was sacrificed as a baby to this religion by his father, but instead of giving him immortality the angel taking, pity on Azalin, took his fathers life instead and made Azalin immortal. In order to pay the angel's kindness back, he walks the earth 'sacrificing' others to his goddess.
#Lore
"Sir we have a problem"
"Huh? Yes? Well what is it!?" he had never liked his new intern and his annoying voice, being woken up in the middle of the night did not help lessen this hate. "Out with it boy! In case you didn't notice its still the middle of the night and i would like to go back to sleep sometime this century."
"Y-yes sir sorry, uh well there was a break out and uh i was informed uh..."
His anger flaring "The next time you say 'Uh' im going to have you shipped back to whatever craphole you crawled out of, now what were you informed of, in as little words as possible."
"He escaped sir, Azalin, well it was more like he walked out, he took his weapon with him and he... he... well he 'sacrificed' the men guarding him" the young intern hadn't worked for his boss for long but he knew him well enough and seeing his bosses face drained of all color frightened him even more.
There was a long pause, then "Listen well son, you get you and your family out of the city, take nothing and go to the League of Legends. Tell them Azalin has escaped."
The sudden change in his bosses attitude shocked him "But sir what about you?"
"Nevermind that! Do what i say, quick! Go now... GO!"
As the intern and his family left the last thing they saw was the city burning, there the occasional scream for awhile and then nothing. They would never see their home again. It took them several days to reach the League, they were hungry and tired. When they got to the gates the only words he could choke out were "Azalin... Escaped... Sacrificed..." that was all that was needed for the League to fly into action. No one knew what happened next, but the next day Azalin began to appear on the fields of justice. The League learned a valuable lesson that day, there is no stopping Azalin the Immortal, the Blood Angel, the Sacrificer.

#Explanations
Azalin isnt a complicated champion so ill keep this section short, I know Azalin doesn't bring much anything new to the table but i feel the way it comes together on this champ is what makes him unique. Do note that all numbers and ratios are changeable so please try to focus on the abilities rather then the damages, although if you feel something is too out of balance feel free to comment below telling me so.
His passive was where this champ started, everything else grew from his passive. Basically he can respawn where he died, the way it works would be something like one of his abilities would have a different option only available while in the fountain for a few seconds where he can teleport to his body.
His Q is very simple and boring compared to his other abilities but i like it, i like thinking of all the plays you could make with this. Something like pulling yourself over a wall by hitting Blue buff and stealing it. Super cool XD
The W was also one of the first ideas i had for Azalin and it took me awhile to decide how to implement it. I like how it turned out but thats just me.
His E took forever for me to finally decide on an ability, there were several options like draining someones life, spinning his ax, jumping in the air and slamming down, but none really stuck out to me. I personally like skills like this, and i feel like this fits the undying nonstoppable force Azalin represents. It makes him hard to straight duel or push out of lane.
The R gave me a bit of trouble as well, but i like where i finally settled. Very simple Azalin channels for 1.5 seconds then calls down an angel which upon impact deals damage then releases an aura that deals damage to everything around it. It is not controllable, movable, or target-able.
#SKINS
Blood Priest Azalin - He would be dressed in tribal clothes similar to those worn by the Maya, he would have a priest-like headdress and cloth robes. Gold armbands and necklaces all over him and golden skull earings. He would hold a giant bone scepter with a blade on it and a bleeding heart (this time not his own :D) He would have a red paint band going over his eyes and red paint on his cheeks and chin. Instead of summoning an angel it would be a giant evil looking half bird half man thing.
Soul Reaver Azalin - He would would have a twisted glowing blue chest piece that stuck up into two points that follow his collarbones and over his shoulders. His chest and stomach would be a glowing blue soul like substance, his legs and lower abdomen would look like twisted demonic armor. His left hand would be a large demon claw and instead of a heart it would be a flaming ball of energy. His weapon would be a twisted spike with a ragged edged ax on the end that glows with spirit fire. He summons a giant blue flaming demon instead of an angel and all his abilitied would be spirit fire colored.
Flower Power Azalin - Wearing tie-dye shirt and bell bottom pants. There would be a ringlet of flowers on his head and his is left hand he would hold a pot with a flower in it. His weapon would be a tree branch covered in flowers and a giant Tulip instead of a blade. His W would explode in bunch of colored petals and instead of summoning an angel he summons a giant sunflower with rains down sunflower seeds.

#Ability Sequences
There are a few ways i can see him being built Fighter, Tank, and Assassin. (Obviously these are just my opinions, if you differ in how you would build him please comment below i would like to see it :D)
For Fighter i see this R>Q>E>W. His R because its his Ult, his Q next because it does a lot of damage and allows him to get up close and personal. His E next for the sustain and the attack speed buff not to mention it gives his W a 0 second cooldown once. I think for quick engages this sequence gives him the best dueling potential up top lane. Level sequence would go Q-E-W-Q-Q-R-Q-E-Q-E-R-E-E-W-W-R-W-W
For a Tank i see R>E>Q>W. His E gives him sustain and attack speed which will help if he trades as he wont be building much damage. The Q would come next as it his most damaging ability and as a tank, then his W since it scales with AP and doesnt do much damage it isnt all that important to a tank except to get where he needs to go in a teamfight. Level sequence would go Q-E-E-W-E-R-E-Q-E-Q-R-Q-Q-W-W-R-W-W
For an Assassin i see R>Q>W>E. His Q yet again his most damaging ability will help him engage his opponent, his W will help him escape or burst his opponent. His E will only help him burst faster but it does not need to be on a low cooldown for an assassin, its main use in this case is for the 0 second cooldown on his W. Level sequence would go Q-W-E-Q-Q-R-Q-W-Q-W-R-W-W-E-E-R-E-E
In the Jungle he would level up his abilities in a very similar order to whichever role you choose, but most likely will start with his E first for the attack speed and health back.
So tell me what you think in the comments below and dont forget to upvote if you liked it :) (accidentally posted this in the wrong section XD so now im posting it again here, thank you Flying Buntcake for reminding me)
