Background

Champion Biography/Physical Appearance

Adira, Oceans Blight was once a trusted vastayan from the Marai tribe. The same tribe that Nami swore to defend from the darkness that arose from the rift at the bottom of the sea. When Nami left her tribe to retrieve the moonstone and did not return, Adira took it upon herself to try and ward off the creatures that were drawing ever closer to the village.

In her arrogance, she was overwhelmed by the darkness, absorbed by the rift and corrupted by it. She was filled with the hatred and malice that is the darkness and swam with vengeance in her heart out of the rift, transformed. As she swam her jealousy towards Nami, the Tidecaller grew and she swore to find her, take the staff and be titled as the ruler of the oceans.

Before her corruption Adira was beautiful in face, with a regal appearance suitable for an adviser of an aquatic nature. She had the details of a lion king fish and an elegant orange octopus, slender and quick, upholding her stature in the village with utmost respect.

After exiting the rift her beautiful features were exaggerated, changed dark with her skin lost of pigment. Her once stunning array of oceanic splendor was converted and black as ink, as if her worst features within had been brought out. Her eyes were black and devoid of warmth. Her 8 tentacles were swift and decisive, while staying just as cunning. Her regal prowess did not falter though, simply altered to match her current state.
