Freiya - The Torn

Passive 1:

• Freiya's resource bar is called "Regret" and fills up when she kills units or uses certain abilities
• As she gains more regret, her attack damage is increased and her attack speed is decreased (both flat amounts)

Q:

• Toggle ability
• Freiya recalls her mother's words making her grieve her sins, giving her greatly increased health regeneration and lowering her attack range.
• Freiya's auto attack shifts to a slower and more elegant animation, using calm strikes with smoother animations.
• Lowers her Regret and decreases Regret gained over the duration.
• Cannot be used at the same time as the E ability.
• Cannot be used if she has no regret.

W:

• Blinks to the enemy in a very swift dash, slashing the enemy and applies a cripple, grounding the enemy and making them take bonus damage over time.
• This ability slows for a small amount over a fairly long duration (4-5 seconds)
• Adds a medium amount of flat regret

E:

• Toggle ability
• Gives Freiya bonus damage, increased attack range, and weak decaying movement speed on her auto attacks
• Freiya's auto attack shifts to a more aggressive style, using powerful strikes with little elegance.
• Very similar way to how Kylo Ren fights in "The Force Awakens". Video representation here.
• Adds Regret over time when toggled on
• Toggling on while Q is active cancels her Q ability.

R:

• Releases all Regret in a powerful attack that deals massive damage and can execute
• Takes Health to use and drains her Regret to zero.
• Regret is added to amount of damage dealt
• This ability has a fairly short cooldown and can be unlocked at levels 3/7/11/15
• A medium between a champion like Udyr and a normal champion ult.

Lore:

• Freiya's father was killed protecting the very small town they lived in when she was 5 years old. Her mother raised her alone and always taught her to love and protect those who needed it, teaching her to see the good in people.

She spent her days learning the elegance and techniques of the sword while growing up. She spent many years mastering these techniques and becoming very proficient, able to beat any who dueled her at the age of 15, travelling to the nearby Noxus city to prove her worth. Shortly after her 19th birthday, she was ordered by Noxus to join their ranks and help them. This was against Freiya's wishes, to use her skills to protect and so she refused the order. Shortly after, an invasion on the small town began and she went to the front lines to defend and protect those she loved. The small invasion was 100:1 in units as they roughly knew her power. The small town stood no chance, so she was forced to retreat, saving as many as she could and herding them into the temple she trained at to protect the entrance from incoming soldiers.

She defended the temple with many of the surviving children and townsfolk inside, trying her best to have mercy on those she fought, out lasting their endurance with each new wave that came, with the intent of protecting and having mercy on all she could. One solider of the invasion was just a small teenage boy in way over his head, inexperienced with a weapon and seemingly scared of death. Freiya took mercy on the boy, disarming him and sending him in with the intent of saving the boy from the murderous life of the Noxus, and help replace the many who were killed already. The boy took this chance to murder Freiya's mother and a few of the survivors with a dagger he had hidden in his shirt before Freiya could get back and take him down. Furious, Freiya went on the offense and started hacking and slashing her way through the waves of oncoming soldiers, giving no mercy and leaving no survivors as she single-handedly made the enemy army retreat.

Once the invasion was over she knew she could no longer stay there and they had to escape. She gathered the very few remaining survivors and shepherded them to another nearby town, warning them of the dangers of the nearby soldiers and heading back to her home. Once she got there, all she could see was the destruction and desecration of her home she'd lived in for all of her life, making her feel great anger and sadness for those she could not save. She took the time to bury her dead friends and mother in the town's small graveyard and leave for revenge on the army that invaded.

Freiya altered her appearance slightly as to not be recognized, and headed to Noxus. Not long had passed before she had finished her quest to murder those that caused such sorrow and anger, hoping to feel relieved to avenge her friends and mother, all she felt was regret and anger. She spent so much of her life learning and training to defend those she loved, and all it took was one day for it all to be for naught. She was torn between her hated, and her love.

I created the lore as I went because I kind of just thought of something and went with it, making slight edits as I went.

I created the character in the last hour and thought I'd throw it out to get feedback for future iterations until it feels "complete". I was going to add a second passive, because the current one feels a little lackluster for a passive, and is more of just an explanation to the resource bar, but I didn't want to waste time just sitting there trying to stitch a coherent ability to be able to send this post off.

I wanted to add more of the protect/love side, but I couldn't really think of what to put and this was just a rough draft, so any suggestions would be welcome.

Also, I don't know how well the attack speed constantly changing would work, because it kind of sounds like you would never know your attack speed, but maybe I would be wrong.
