[Champion Concept] Vivian, The Siren's Song

Yo everyone, BowietheNifty here bringing you another champion concept. This little beauty is something I am very proud to bring onto the boards. To those reading I hope you enjoy this simple, yet complex champion. Of course any sort of reviews, criticisms, or comments are allowed and very welcome here. Any questions about this champion I will answer accordingly. Just keep in mind I will be adding more to this thread about her within the next day or two, but as of now I am only getting her lore and kit up. If you like this champion then feel free to check out my other ones as their links will be at the bottom of this page. Enough waiting, onward to The Siren's Song!

Also I would like to announce that this champion has placed first within the August Community Concept Open Stage! So excited to have her place well. Feel free to see the results for the rest of the champions that were entered. Don't be afraid to check out the CCOS every month here on the boards. It could really use some support. Especially more judges!

Another little updated, decided to do a little rework on this champions abilities. Yes even though she won first place in the CCOS of August 2015, I felt like a little more work needed to be done on her. This is due to the feed back I was given on her during that time, but I put my attention else where. Mainly I changed her Q ability and tuned abilities based around the new one. Hopefully you all like the changes! 2/8/2016

Appearance (This isn't my art work and I don't take credit for the image used. This is simply here to give a general idea of what the character would look like.)

Vivian is a rather attractive female who tends to wear a lot of high end dresses. She loves to indulge herself in elegant, yet modest looking attire. This is because she enjoys attention but not people looking at her body. She will go as far to put little accessories in her hair ranging from flowers, shells, or anything shiny that she could find. Vivian will always keep her hair up in certain elegant hair styles just to match her outfits.

Lore Vivian hails from Bilgewater being born and raised in the city. She was never one for the sea, nor one for violence. This city was never really a place for a girl like her. She didn't crave adventuring on the sea, making it rich, or even want to hurt others. No, what she sought after was the admiration of the people. She was one to seek the attention of those around her. Though she didn't wish to get it through any provocative means like most woman of the city did. Instead she used one of the assets that she was born with, her voice. For years when she was young she would practice with her voice when she was alone. It was her most powerful tool and as she grew up the girl perfected the use of it. The girl loved to sing and her songs captivated people. In local taverns, brothels, and even on some of the docks, she would perform. There was just something about her voice that entranced everyone when she sung. Eventually word of her singing branched out of the other continents of Runeterra. One of the city states took an interest and sent a representative to investigate the supposed singer. Upon hearing the girl's performance she was cordially invited to perform in front of a special audience. He even enticed the girl with a great payment being involved as well as an all expense payed trip to the pavilion. With little to no thought Vivian accepted the offer. This offer was basically guarantied to get her out of Bilgewater and far away from the reeking smell of fish. As simply as that she was escorted out of the city and into Noxus, the location of her next performance.

Upon being brought to Noxus, Vivian as given an audience. From what she could tell they were definitely the higher end of Noxian authority. It made her begin to second guess the choice. From what she heard Noxus wasn't any more friendly then those back home. Being instructed to perform she hesitated, before a knife was put to her throat. She was given a choice to either sing or die. Of course she chose to let out her voice. The hypnotic sounds that echoed through the room. The brutish guards dropped their weapons being too enticed to by the maiden. The girl continued on tell she couldn't sing anymore and when she did the effects wore off. With it all done she was given a revelation about her gift by the Noxian command. Her voice had magical capabilities and they wished for her to use it for them. They offered her many things in return for not only her service, but to help her improve her talents even more. With all the proposals of fame, fortune, and a new life, Vivian couldn't help but accept. Not only to escape her old home, but to keep herself on their good side. It was better to be able to sing another day then die with throat slit open.

Abilities

Passive - Vocals All of Vivian's abilities are comprised of sound waves. They cannot pass through terrain but will instead bounce off them. Each bounce will increase the range of the ability by 50% projectile speed by 15% based off the base stats of the ability. After a sound wave bounces it can hit a target just hit by it again. Can only bounce 3 times.

In-depth This passive is both a blessing and a curse. While it does allow you to bounce your abilities for interesting shots, it allows doesn't allow Vivian to shoot over walls. Oh don't worry though there is a way to get around walls, but you will have to keep reading for that. Anyways when one of her abilities hits a wall it will then reflect off it according to its trajectory. Good news is that it will extend the range of that given ability. So for example if her Q has a 700 range. It travels 200 units before hitting a wall. The sound wave will then bounce off and continue to travel for 850 units reaching an overall range of 1050. (50% of 700 is 350, and adding that on is 1050) If the sound wave were to bounce again though then it would give an overall range of 1400 and up to 1750 after the last bounce.

• Q - Charming voice
  Active - Vivian projects her voice in a target direction dealing 70/105/140/175/210 (+ 80% AP) magic damage to the first two targets hit. The targets hit will become "Anxious" for 3 seconds. "Anxious" targets more susceptible to certain crowd control increasing the duration of CC placed on them by 50%. Mana cost 70, Cooldown 10/9/8/7/6 seconds, Range: 700

In-depth This is Vivian's main form of damage. It is a straight line skill shot that deals magic damage to the first two enemies hit. As well it applies a debuff called "Anxious" to each target making crowd control duration's last long on them. These can range from slows, stuns, taunts, charms. These do not have any effect on knock ups, pulls, suppression's, knock backs, or roots. This only increases the duration of these forms of crowd control by 50% and the debuff only lasts for 3 seconds. This only effects crowd control on the applied the the target after the debuff is applied not the crowd control currently on the target. Bouncing this ability correctly though allows you to hit the same target twice, but that takes some know how to pull off.

• W - Enchanting Song Active - Vivian projects her hypnotic voice in a target direction. When the sound wave hits a target or reaches the end of its range it bursts into 4 sound waves and mesmerizes all enemies struck by the sound waves for 1/1.5/2/2.5/3 seconds. Targets that are mesmerized will be unable to move, attack, or use spells. Though when a mesmerized target takes damage from a champion, large minion, or large monster, they will be freed from it. Mana cost 60, Cooldown 18 seconds, Range 600.

In-depth This here is Vivian's form of CC that she brings to the table. It works similar to any skill shot at first before it bursts upon it reaching a target or max range. Though this isn't exactly a normal area of effect. The sound waves that come from the burst are all separate projectiles. One sound wave will be sent in each direction from the center covering all four sides. Sense each one is a separate projectile, they can each bounce off walls to extend their travel time. Although the radius is rather small being only 200 for starters. These sound waves will pass through enemies and mesmerize all enemy targets they hit. Targets currently mesmerized won't have the mesmerize refreshed or even the duration extended. Though if a target breaks out of being mesmerized and then gets hit by another mesmerizing wave, the disabling effect will be reapplied.

• E - Stage Projection Passive - Increases the size of her size of her other spells by 10% each rank. Active - Vivian projects her voice from a different location allowing her to fire her spells from another source. Her next spell will be able to be fired from a different point of origin of her choosing. Mana cost 40/30/20/10/0, Cooldown 12/11/10/9/8 seconds, Range 400/450/500/550/600.

In-depth So putting a point into this ability will increase the size of Vivian's other spells. Though what gets increased is dependent on the spell. Q - Increases the Width W - Increase the radius of the burst R - Increases the angle of the cone. So at max rank you will have a 50% increase to those parts of the abilities. As for the active portion, this allows Vivian to fire her next spell from a different point of origin. In other words it effectively allows you to fire every thing like if it were a E or a Ult. This is her tool that allows her to throw her skill shots over walls or from a different angle entirely. This also effectively increases the range of all her abilities when used properly.

• R - Ending Note Vivian screeches in a targeted direction dealing magic damage in a cone for 3 seconds. Each sound wave deals 50/65/80 (+20/25/30% AP) magic damage and passes through all units. The final set of sound waves will stun the targets hit by 0.5/1/1.5 seconds. During this channel Vivian cannot be silenced or cancel it herself. However if she reaches the end of the channel she will silence herself for 2/1.5/1 seconds having to recover her voice. Mana cost 100, Cooldown, 120/110/100 seconds, Range 900.

In-depth Vivian's ultimate ability and it packs a lot of damage in an area. She projects a row sounds waves in a cone and fires one out every 0.5 seconds for a total of 6 rows. Each row is made up of 3 sound waves which are all separate projectiles and making 18 sound waves over the duration of the ability. Each sound wave can bounce and strike enemies again if they bounce off a wall. The final set of sound waves she produces will stun all targets they pass through. However keep in mind while these final waves can bounce and apply damage again, they can not stun the targets already stunned by this ability. While she can't be silenced out of the channel, she can still be disrupted by other forms of CC.

Items

Essentials

So these are Vivian's items she should always get. You want the sorcerer's shoes for the penetration it provides. Sense Vivian deals a lot of damage you want to make sure it all goes through. Athene's is to provide two major things, one being mana sustain and the other is cool down reduction. Last the Luiden's is to give a bit more burst and AoE to your damaging abilities as well as the increased movement seeing as she doesn't have much herself.

Offensive

If you want to go with an offensive approach then these are the items for you. A death cap is always a fine option to gain massive ability power. Prepare for a huge power spike upon purchasing this powerful hat thanks to Vivian's good scaling. A void staff is to destroy those pesky enemies who build against you. They can build all the magic resist they want but it wont stop her with this magic pen item. Lastly the Twin Shadows maybe an odd choice for an offensive item. Though its active can be used to hunt down targets who are attempting to flee, or even scout ahead. It has multiple uses and grants that extra move speed and cool down.

Defensive

If you want to go more defensive then there are plenty of tools for the job. Zhonya's is always a great option for the stasis that provides. Being able to ignore all damage for a brief window could turn the tides of a fight. Rylai's is to help Vivian kite certain enemies. With this all her damage will provide a 40% slow that can pierce through targets and it is quite useful. The Banner of Command will give you a bit more magic resist, health, and HP regen. With the aura you can even provide more for the team by just being with them. Plus being able to send a magic immune minion down lane could prove useful against certain opponents.

As of right now this is what I got for Vivian. Feel free to leave your comments, opinions and suggestions in the comments below. As for interactions with other champions, jokes, taunts I will actually leave that up in the air for right now. So lets make this a bit more interesting. You are also able to comment below on what you want to see next out of this champion. So you can post your own thoughts on her interactions, jokes, taunts, dances, what ever comes to mind. Feel free to check out my other champions as well as their links are below. Anyways tell next time and have a wonderful day!

For the CCOS This champion has been currently entered for the Community Concept Open Stage for the Month of August. (also for July technically) Anyways feel free to stop by and look at the other champions the community has created. Also as for the previous champs that I like from the open stage, oh lord there is a lot of them. Though I would have to go with Rezko, The Advocate of Time. Mainly it is for his W the Time Warp: Distortion. Being able to effect projectile speed is something I have always been wanting to see out of champs. In fact it is something I am working on for another champ that will come out sooner or later. Still its a very interesting ability that would work great for a time themed champion. Plus his Ult is a nifty form a stasis which blocks all damage from everything except the ability itself. He has a lot of potential and I wish to see more interesting interactions that can be done within the league.
