[Champion Concept] Faiz the Sand Nomad

Primary: Fighter Secondary: Assassin Residence: Shurima Allies: Enemy:

Lore: Faiz was once Azir's most trusted general, the Emperor's finest conqueror. By sheer blessing or curse, he was out in conquest during the Ascension ritual. He was only entering the edge of the city, eager to show the Emperor his triumphant result, when the ritual finished. Being only on the edge and far away from the wave of energy released by the ritual, Faiz was not consumed or destroyed, and for better or worse, became more. Faiz and his army turned to dust, each man only a handful of sand, scattered with the wind. But slowly, grain by grain, peace by peace, the sand come together to from a bone, then a skeleton, then a man, born of the sand and carries with it the faded glory of Shuriman army. Lost in the wasteland of his once proud home, his life long gone behind him and the faint whisper of the sand, Faiz became a Nomad, wandering the desert, setting up camp and moving them as the wind changes, never staying in one place for too long, appearing out of the sand storm to help travelers in need, guiding them toward the Oasis of the Dawn where he once dipped his spear in, and then disappearing with a gust, Faiz existence is commonly regarded as fiction, the result of heat haze and dehydration. Yet the Nomad roam the dessert, his existence flickering in and out like a mirage in the sand. He thought his old days were gone, and was ready to settle down as a true wanderer, about to step out of the desert to see the world when rumors of the resurrection of an Emperor reached his ear. His heart and mind filled with renewed strength and hope, Faiz set out once more, to journey to the heart of the sand and reunite with his Emperor.

Appearance: Dark skinned, tall, thin but toned. Wears the typical sand colored desert tribe set of hood, tattered cloak covering almost his entire bod when still, mouth covering and alot of other wrapping. Wield a highly decorated Shuriman spear with a longer than normal blade so it can be used for slicing. Attacks are military, disciplined, firm.

Gameplay: Faiz is a light fighter with a heavy emphasis on light. Flickering in and out of view like the rapidly shifting sand, Faiz is incredibly mobile, attack from multiple angle in rapid succession while his sand power allows him to phase through danger if he didn't out right out maneuver them. Befitting of the title Nomad, Faiz lack the upfront brute damage, instead employ a highly effect hit and run tactic that combine speed, agility and misdirection to strike without being stricken, disorientating the enemy with a flurry of blow that seems to come from all angle. However, as a light fighter, Faiz is incredibly fragile and very vulnerable if he can't use his abilities. If the cards aligned, Faiz embodies the desert itself, enveloping and over running enemy with a storm of strikes while the enemy retaliate into desert mirage and sand construct.
