[Void hunter Champion Concept] Gale, the Tempest Knight

And another (and the last) concept revived unto the new board. Ironic in a way, as Gale was actually my first concept ever. attributes: melee, fighter, carry

In a far corner of the world lies the mysterious Jade Island, where a lone 12 year old child washed ashore, bloody and unconscious. The family that took him in named him Gale. When Gale awoke, he remembered nothing of his past, save for the darkness that engulfed him. At age 15, Gale voluntarily enrolled in the Fujin Academy, to learn the sacred wind art, Shu, to join the Venti Force, the army and pride of Jade Island. Five years later; on the eve of his graduation, Gale awoke to screams of terror. When he left his home, all he found was blood stained streets and a dark cloud circling the island. There was no doubt in Gale's mind, this was the same darkness he remembered from his past. Gale rushed to one of the few buildings still intact: Fujin Academy. Inside, he found his teacher Amun badly wounded. With his last breath, Amun informed Gale that the darkness stems from the Void, and it's creatures caused the massacre of Jade Island. Gale fought valiantly, but eventually fell to the overwhelming number creatures. several hours later Gale, the sole survivor of the slaughter, rose to his feet and gazed in horror at the death that surrounded him. At that time, over the bodies of his friends and family, Gale vowed to protect the world from the creatures of the Void. One year later; while resting at an inn in Damacia, a hooded stranger approached Gale. "I represent the king of Damacia." the man said in a whisper, "I hear you slay the beasts of the Void." Gale simply nodded. "I have a proposition for you," the man continued, "have you heard of the League of Legends? They are using those monsters in their tournaments, pitting them against other competitors for entertainment." This news disgusted Gale. He had heard of the League in his travels, but he didn't know this. No one can control the Void. "The king would like for you to enter the League, and emerge victorious. In exchange, he has offered you full access to the royal archives, where there is much to learn of the Void." Gale agreed. Without hesitation, Gale picked up his blades and headed for the Fields of Justice, determined to seal off the Void from this realm forever. "You must look back on where you've been, or you'll never understand where you're going." -Gale

abilties passive: Wind Walk Gale has learned to manipulate the wind around around his foes. For every enemy champion within 1180 units, Gale becomes 10% more resistant to all slows, stuns, taunts, snares, and fears while making those affects of his abilities last 5% longer. Gale's basic attacks and abilities do not apply on hit slows from items. Q: Whirlwind Cross range: 600 mana: 60/70/80/85/90 cooldown: 12/10/8/7/6 damage (magic): 60/70/85/100/110 (+80%AP) Gale lunges forward crossing his blades to form an X shaped blade of air covering the distance traveled, and damaging all enemies it hits. If activated again within .5 seconds of casting, Gale will lunge back to his starting position. If a target is crossed by both lunges, they are slowed by 6%/8%/10%/12%/15% for 1 second. W: Void Squall range: 250 mana: 75/80/85/90/95 cooldown: 30/28/25/21/18 damage (magic): 40/60/70/85/100 (+75%AP) Gale cuts through the air and forms vacuums in a cone in front of him, damaging and silencing all enemies it hits for 3 seconds. If the target is slowed by one of Gale's abilities, they are stunned for 1.5 seconds instead. E: Air Cutter range: +50 passive, 350 activated mana: 80/80/80/80/80 cooldown: 40/40/35/30/30 passive damage (physical): 25%/30%/35%/40%/45% of AD activated damage (magic): 60/75/90/105/115 (+33%AP)/second Gale's swords cut like wind and passively create blades of air that cause splash physical damage to enemies behind his target. This ability stacks +1 per minute for 5 minutes. Stacks are lost upon death or activation. If activated, Gale releases cutting blades of air around him, lasting 1 second per stack, and slowing enemies hit by 5%/6%/7%/8%/10% for 2 seconds. The passive and stacks are disabled during cooldown. Targets can only be slowed once per activation. R: Aurora Tempest range: 500 radius mana: 220/250/300 cooldown: 120/110/90 damage (magic): 200/250/350 (+35%AP) Gale teleports up to 300/400/500 units away after 1.5 seconds. When he arrives, Gale summons a rainbow colored tornado around him for 3 seconds, knocking enemies back 250 units from the tornado's edge and lowering their magic resist by 10%/15%/20% for 5 seconds after the damage is caused. The effects are reset if the enemy touches the tornado again. Gale is untargetable while inside the storm. Visible updrafts will appear in the location Gale will teleport while he is casting.

Advice: 1)Gale's attacks and abilities don't proc on hit slows from items like Rylai's Crystal Scepter and Frozen Mallet. 2)Enemies inside Air Cutters active range can only be slowed once per attack. Once the slow wears off, they cannot be slowed again by the same Air Cutter. 3) The magic resist reduction in Aurora Tempest is applied AFTER the damage is caused, meaning the reduction will not affect how much damage Aurora Tempest causes.

tips for Gale: *Use Whirlwind Cross at the right time to kill an enemy champion under their turret and escape the turrets range before taking too much damage, or to escape a fight. *Air Cutter's active can be a great way to get enemy champions to leave you alone if you're at low health. *Aurora Tempest is fantastic at breaking apart tightly grouped champions. The reduction in magic resist also allows ally champions to easily pick off champions blown in the wrong direction.

tips against Gale: *Be careful while trying to gang up on Gale, most of his abilities become more effective the more enemy champions that are around him. *Pay attention to Gale's attacks and death counter. If Air Cutter's passive is not visible, he cannot use it's active. If it is visible and he hasn't died in a while, be careful while engaging him; he might have a charged Air Cutter ready. *Aurora Tempest can break apart tight groups of champions, and keep them apart. Keep this in mind while trying to push a lane or gang up on other champions.

Audio: Character selection "Then we shall destroy the Void. Together." Joke: "Don't cross me, you'll just WIND up dead." Taunt: "Maybe I should tie my hand behind my back, even the odds." Movement 1) "they'll be blown away." 2) "The darkness will crumble." 4) "The Void will fall."

Appearance: Gale stands 6' tall at 160lbs, with tanned skin. He has one dark green eye, and one blue eye. His hair is dark blonde and is tied in a pony tail that hangs loosely down around his shoulder to his chest. He has a scar across his green eye and a cross shaped scar on his left cheek. He has more of an athletic build than muscular. Gale is wearing weathered light leather armor across his entire body.

That's the best I can describe Gale. I'm working on drawing his alternate skin "Academy Gale" where he wears his school uniform, more or less. If anybody can picture this and draw it up for me, I'd really appreciate it, I'm no artist. I'll try to have the drawings up as soon as I can though, I promise. And that's it, that's Gale. If you read this, please comment on what you think. Tell me if anything needs to be changed or added and why. I'd be happy to do so. In any case, thank you for the taking the time to read my rather long thread. Maybe check out some other ideas, yeah?
