[Champion idea] Erqui, The emissary of blood
Hello everybody. THis is the fourth champion idea i write for this board and this is the one that i'm the most happy with, aside from my first. The second one I wrote was kinda rushed and the third one just seemed a bit chliche character wise, even though i was happy with the ability concepts. If you want to check them out there is a link to all of them just below:
The first one http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/gXOUs5E0-champion-idea-rashksra-the-dragon-of-hate THe second one http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/HGJL00Bj-shier-the-blood-in-shadows THe third one http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/skin-champion-concepts/8heaPfAh-champion-idea-hassra-the-unseen-death
And before I start with the actual champion idea, I will say the same thing that I said in all of those champion ideas. I am not native to an english speaking country and i will make some mistakes.
As for the champion design, I was thinking a ghoul like creature. Pale skin, hump back and a general animal like appearence with sharp teeth and wild eyes and so on. His weapons would be wolvorine like claws attached to his hands and a cloth around his waist. As you may or may not know, I did not write out the lore for any of my past champion ideas, rather I just summerised them. But this time I will actually try to write out a full lore and se how it does. His lore is that he was buried in the shadow isles and the foul magic there resurected him as a foul beast. He had litle memory of his past life other than that he was a dimplomat of sort and vague memories of his old home on a beautiful island. THat didn't really bother him though as he was filled with three things: fear, confusion and hunger. What had happend to him? Why had it happend to him? Who or what did it? At first he paniced, running around the isles horriefied at what he saw. THis was not the island he rememberd. THey were peaceful and full of life. Now it was haunting and full with death. But prehaps even more horrifying than the island itself, he felt that he belonged here. Finally he came across a dark figure standing in his cemetary, digging a grave. Erqui asked the looming man who he was. He simply answered "the grave digger". WHen he asked were he was the got the answer: "the shadow isles". Lastly he asked what was wrong with this place, why was it so... dead. Now he got the answer: "Some fools in the past tempered with magic they didn't understand. THe magic of the dead. Now all who come here suffers the price.". suddently it all came back to him. He rememberd his lord wanting to gain new power, and how he tried to use necromancy to get it. But it went wrong. He rememberd taht he and his lord are to blame for the fate of this island. Suddently the graverdigger stopped digging and looked at him with dead eyes and said: "Even those who are repulsed by the island will eventually grow to worship it, and no one, no matter how pure they are, can avoid it. We're stuck here for eternety and there is nothing we can do about it." Now Erqui was no longer confused, rather he was in denial. He ran away from the grave digger who started to dig again. He didn't know were he was trying to run, he just wanted to get away from this island. But deep down he knew that he couldn't. And as he ran the hunger he had felt earlier was growing, and all other emotions was fading. Soon he wasn't running away but rather searching for for something to consume. He found another cemetery. He instantly started to dig up the graves to consume the corpes. In just a few minutes, the whole cemetery was in ruin. But he wasn't happy. He desecreted grave after grave but he was never sated. Finally he came upon a living thing. A fish in a dark pond. He quickly snatched it up but as he was about to kill it, he stopped himself. THen, he started to cut the fish up while it was still alive. THis contunied untill the fish was dead. THen he consumed it. At that moment he realised something. It wasn't meat itself that sated his hunger. It was the pain of the living. He managed to travel to runterra where he started to violently slaughter entire villages before happily consuming them all. However, the institute of war soon got the news of this beast and went to confine him. He was suprisinly hard to kill, as when he was set on a target nothing seemed to be able to stop him from slaying that target. THe mages from the institute managed to confine him after a long fight. They were about to execute this beast when he spoke. He had heard some talk about the league and he offered him self as a champion. THey were skeptical but even in this state of mind he had a silver tongue and he conviced them. Now he roams the fields of justice, on the look out for his next target.
"You don't simply kill, you have to take your time and savor the moment".
