[Champion concept] Astra - perfect mage

Bio:

Astra was born in Ionia, in a village forgot by time, no longer existing today, between Puboti and Navori, close to a river. His village was one of few blessed to have natural borns that were able to use any type of magic, they having a natural talent for it, and learning magic pretty fast. When Astra was young, things like magic staff and runes weren't really popular, their usage being know more for focusing one certain element, for example, if someone would have problems using fire magic, they could use a staff that extract that certain magic trait from their inner mana and release it, making it a useful tool for teaching kids in magic, but not a very useful item for anything else. That made Astra to not really appreciate any items, their village being blessed to do anything with their bare hands. Like most kids in that village in his first 10 years of Astra spend most of his time learning elemetal magic and "sign magic". Sign magic wasn't really a thing for most mages, it being used more to form an manipulate the mana, or elements, but for kids it serverd as a good way to express their mental power and manipulate better the mana around. The Village used to be pretty small, most people being forced to leave once in a week to buy more resuource, both for survival and to get more items for practice, Astra used to go for a bigger city when his parents were busy, buying only food usually, and exploring the world in his way, even if they lived in a country full of magic, most people wouldn't acutally use magic or being able to, so he will usually entertain kids around, juggling with water balls or "breathing fire" (he didn't acutally breathe fire, not like he couldn't but he didn't know how yet), and then come back to his house. He was very curious and wanted to learn as much as possible, but that kind later will become an obsession. Before Astra officially become an adult he asks one of his "masters" how much time did it take for him to learn everything about magic, at which the master responded "I don't think I learned everything yet, no one can learn that much in a single live" "But why, isn't there a way, isn't there enough knoweldge yet?" "Knoweldge? Yes probably is, but even so, just reading everything will take you about 1000 years, not to say you need to practice, that is why we teach you only the basics and leave you up to decide what you wanna learn later, there's no shourtcuts and not enough time to learn everything" "What about life and soul magic, couldn't we extend our life to learn everything" "I suppose we could, but would you call it a life, wasting your entire time, even if endless just to learn useless things, no one even tried it before but not because it would be impossible or forbidden, and because would be the opposite to live, you see as mages we live experincing things, using our maximum potential, being happy with everything we had and practicing more, so when we die we will have no regrets, but doing it endless will just contradict with our way of life, our end is just a way to live afterall, so don't try to learn everything possible, but learn what really passionate you" After that discussion Astra made his mind, he spend his next 20 years learning and practicing life and soul magic, which were a type of forbidden magic that is linked directly to the soul, and could also manipulate the souls around, give or take life, but were extremly hard to even have a touch with that type of magic without risking your own life. After barely learning it he did a mantra for memory, it was something he had to do every 10 years to not forget anything, then he moved on necromancy, that were his easy way to play around life and soul, practicing enough he could use necromancy to temporary ressurect himself right before doing a fatal mistake, but necromancy isn't really a way to reborn, it would be only an anchor for his core plan. At age of 80 he finish his research, and finally start a first practice. His goal were to made a new body, using his own young body, by cloning himself, and then transfer his soul onto it, doing that he will be as alive as a normal human, and still keep his magic blessing, because as a mage as he, Astra really needed a perfectly compatible body to be able to use any type of magic, that is one of reasons why most mages outside of village were limited to a certain type or element of magic, but Astra only reason to live right now were to learn everything and he couldn't do that wihout being able to do everything. His first experiment was a succes in his opinion, he created a perfect clone of his 17 young self, a perfectly healthy body, compatible with magic and flowing around with a huge amount of mana in his veins, the body didn't had a mind or soul of his own, basically it were in stasis waiting for a waking signal, that signal being his soul. Astra succesful transfer his soul and his memories to his new young body, but he feels something changed, he didn't really understand what and thought it was just the feeling of being in a completly different body, even if it was his own, it were a gap of 63 years so it would be naturally to feel different, after doing that process several time he figured what's changed, some of his memories were missing, he clearly remembered he had to do a mantra but wasn't able to figure what until he looked into researches, that being impossible in his theory because the mantra should help him mentain all memories he ever had, after more reborns he got in despair, as he learn more he forget more, his transfer were not perfect and he needed to improve it, his lost memories couldn't be recover but he could learn everything he forgot again, after more experiments he finally found a safe way to reborn without losing anything, but he felt like he changed alerdy, the world around him changed too. He visit some shops and buys some tools, as he never experimenced them he felt is the moment to learn, Astra didn't really know why he didn't like magic items, and he figured it is only because he didn't had time. He got all his stuff together and get in an empty forest to practice. "Hmm with what should I start, Astra ask himself looking into his stuff when suddently something catch his attention, that is called The staff of Wadjet if I remember well, let's see Fire" as he says, his staff start throwing a massive fireball that completly destroy a row of trees in it's direction and leave the area in fire "Not too bad, but that's kind messy" Astra does a rotation with his finger, and the fire dissapear. Later on Astra decide items are not so satisfying, he finds them useful as he developed some problems concentrating on some elements. As a result of his memory being overloaded with informations he started to lose his feelings, that would slightly affect his expressing magic, but it weren't the time to worry now, afterall he had all time to practice after learn everything possible. After he moves more around the world, he start to feeling disgust toward other magic beings, seeing them as absolutely garbages because they either can control just one type of magic or can't use at all their magic. After more reborns Astra learn to manipulate others mana and mana around him instead of his own mana, that was a huge achivement for him, and finally he felt happy, now he could control anything about him without using his own resources, after fooling around for few hours, he keeps on learning other things, as he passes by he sees a girl around, she seems to use earth type magic, Astra felt happy in that day so he decides to abord her but then he notices she had no control on her powers are her mana is flowing weird in her body, he felt absolutely disugusted about how someone can't even control perfectly a simple rock. Astra have an impulse feeling to help that girl, but didn't know why and decided to restrain that feeling for himself, just ignoring what happened and moving on, afterall he had a good day, it wouldn't be worth to stress himself with amateur mages or unkown feelings, this also would be the day he reborn again as last time this time, he did some change to his body to stop that soul transfrer thing, to avoid other minor memory losses, the body was change in a way that would prevent his aging or riot of his flesh and organs, basically he achieved what "fake mages" were searching from the begging of time, the immortality, his new and last body was perfect, it would allow him to use any type of magic, was an young healhty body, so he could use his energy at maximum, the only thing he had to worry about was to not hurt himself too bad, as the new body didn't age it have some small issues with regenerating too, making it very slow, not really a issue for him as he could heal himself anytime, but was a good thing to have in count for any case. As his last reborn Astra wake up with another weird feeling, starting crying "why" "did I lost something again" Astra remembers during his last soul transfer he had a slighty blured image in his mind, it wasn't something meaningful for him anyway so why should his body act like that, did he mess up something while working for his imortal body?

Passive:

Perfect mage: 5-10% (levels 1-16) of Astra magic damage is dealt as true damage

Mana manipulation: Every 20s Astra's next basic attack will instead summon a lighting from the sky hitting the target, dealing 2-30(based on level)(100%ad)(20% bonus ap) magic damage. The cast have 50 extra range, is not treated as a projectile or basic attack (it's instead treating as a spell) and have a 0.5 charging time.

Necromancy: Once every 60-30s (based on level) Astra can right click the body of a minion/monster(and maybe why not dragons) he killed (a body will remain 3 seconds after he kills a unit, or if casted on, until Astra finish ressurecting) to ressurect him, making him to follow Astra and attack his enemies. Units ressurected by Astra have their original stats but a maximum HP depending on Astra level and his bonus hp.

Q: Child's play Astra shoot a fireball in a direction, dealing magic damage to all enemies hit. (would be cool to change it's aspect depending on staff tho, see later)

**W: Infinite power **Astra summon 2 summoning circle behind him that can be aimed in any direction, from the circle first come 2 big projectile dealing low damage and marking enemy champions hit, after a 0.5 comes 10 more projectile from both circles (total of 20), dealing decent damage. If no one enemy get marked each 10 projectiles will go toward their destionation hitting first unit on impact, if an enemy is marked, all projectiles will jump on the enemies hits ignoring all other units.

• An enemy can only be hit by 10 projectile
• If 2 enemies get hit by first 2 big one, each summoning circle will shot their half on the marked ones making a 10 for one champ and 10 for the other.

**E: Soul linking **Astra link his souls to an enemy, making them to suffer same damage he does over 1.5s and stun him at the end. Enemy can leave the range to break the spell.

Btw there I ghought would be a good way to express Astra skills better with some items, that affect his gameplay, don't worry I'm not gonna create something too crazy I think, those items will have some niche effects or stats but you can only build one, and they will cost around 3000 gold, they will also apply an extra or completly new effect on ultimate, both visual and gameplay wise. Honestly back i would think that is broken, but just look at aphelios lmao, he have always a lot of effects, on Astra will have always just one and you need 3000 gold to buy it. For other cool stuff, when Astra have a staff his animation model should refeclt it in game, and when he doesn't he cast with his bare hands, this alone should reflct well his way of growing Y.Y

Anyway, I was gonna to call each staff by those cool gods name, but I'm gonna keep it simple, btw all of them are made from Blasting Wand and Amplifying Tome in my theory, as those are more accesible early game so if he will not go for Luden he will be able to rush one of his special items.

Okey that one is done, now more important parts, he should have interactions for the next champions: Taliyah, Syndra, Lux, Qiyana maybe would be cool to see someone mastering all sources of magic possible detronating the 3 element lady, Brand, Anivia, Evelynn, Zed, Ivern, Nocturne, Illaoi, Karma, LeBlanc, Neeko, Ryze, Twisted Fate, Vladimir, Zyra.

I thought of some but I'm not really good, sorry if some seems really lame, I wanted to show some of his non-serious side from childhood that still should affect him a little sometime.

Any mage "Not impressive" "Weak" "I've seen far better" "I will finish you fast I promise"

Killing Le Blanc 5 seconds upon procing her passive "Your illusions are too weak to save you" "Whichever is the fake, I don't even care"

Joke Vladimir "Bloody hell what is that, got it, bloody, because you do blood jokes.. nevermind" "No offense, but you seen yourself in the mirror? Okey I'm stopping with those jokes" (he's kinda a vampire if i need to explain that one)

Ivern "You should control the magic, not let it control you.. tree"

Cassiopeia "I'm not looking I swear" "So, are you a vastaya?" "You sure you are not one, cause you look like one"

Zyra "what are you supposed to be, mother nature or something?"

Twisted Fate "Using magic for cheating at some meangliess games, you are really the most disgusting one I've seen"

Taliyah "What you gonna do, throw a rock at me?" "Pathetic, you still can't even control one thing well" "Paper, I win!"

After being killed by Taliyah "I see .. you .. improved" "You .. rocked!"

Annie "don't be so fire up" "Hey I can do that too" "Hey, wanna go for some ice cream after that?"

Swain "Demon hand? Alright sorry I asked" "So what's your hand opinion about me"

Lux "Practice is the key" "Why no one here knows how to control a simple element, is that easy, you know what come here I'm gonna show you" "You need to learn to know how to control it" "You should control the magic, not let it control you"

Syndra "Still have anger issues?" "You're pretty close of a decent mage, I'm sorry that I must defeat you" "You remember me of home.. somehow, don't tell me you were my gf at some moment"

Qiyana "wow, she did it guys, look at her, she controls 3 elements! But are you even close to controll all of them?" "We gonna talk when your ego will match your skills" "You know what else is as big as your ego, not your magic skills"

Elemtanlist Lux "I see a lot of potential there" "Good improve, but still you have to work a lot"

Elemtanlist Lux Fire/Magma "Someone is angry"

Elemtanlist Lux Dark "Hey I've seen that before it's called .. black magic yeah!"

attacking Elemtanlist Lux storm form/ any electric skin with "mana manipulation" "shocking" "Guess I did first move, your turn"

Yordles "Okey I have no idea what are you supposed to be" "I should research that thing"

Sorry i know all of them are horrible and kind of out of character.
