Yuumi will KS·1/7/2018, 6:50:59 AM·5 votes·577 views

HI EVERYONE! Here a french boy submitting his homemade champion! [well, helped by two artists for the design].

IDENTITY

Last Name - Ruvaak Paar [abbreviated Ravenpaw] First Name - Nahlaas Ensosin Zeim Reyliik [abbreviated Neither] Title - The Sandborn Age - Approximatively between 17 and 20 Race - Vastayan [Ruvaak Paar is composed by many beings, inspired by animals such as Fennecs, Coyotes, Vulpes Corsac] Origins - Shurima [his tribe disappeared a long time ago] Residence - Zaun

Neither's first and last names are written in his language. Traditions wants a Ruvaak Paar to have his name given by the chef of his tribe depending of what he can know of his fate and his actual behaviour. Nahlaas - Energy Ensosin - Bewitch Zeim - Door, portal Reyliik - Heritage

Moreover, Ruvaak means Black [colour of ravens], and Paar means Paw. Ruvaak Paar, then, is the Ravenpaw, because all the members of the tribe got their fur darker on the tip of their arms and legs.

LORE

So little we know about Vastayans, and so we do about the Ravenn Paar tribe.

"Close your eyes… Imagine, somewhere lost deep in the Valoran’s Sands, a place no one could reach and no one could even know about. Isolated. A whole little world, inhabited by magical strange little beings not even conscious of that immensity surrounding them. Thousands of them. A place, so large to contain a town of tents and those little guys do not even feel the need to possess more.

A colourful civilization, standing animals, all canids. Dogs, foxes, Dholes, Otocyons faces. And here, war is not even a word. In the middle of this hidden piece of Shurima’s desert has been given to them a flying mystical forest to content their hunger and a bottomless lake to content their thirst. Magic rules here, thus a certain form of energy runs through everything, a blue liquid you can find from the sap of the trees to the blood of the beasts. This engergy, we call it The Sinn."

This place was the Ruvaak Paar tribe. Where i've grown, and i've seen it disappear. A day, a tragic day, where liters of blood were spread all over my lands, until i remain the only one. But what is death to a Ruvaak Paar? I could feel their strenght, I could feel the spirit of my ancestors. They transformed me into ether, confined my very existence into the deepest sands, for tens, hundreds, thousands years, nourishing me with knowledge of the world evolving around me... Until it all fades out.

Adapting, that's what i needed to do. I walked, hell yeah, I walked. A strange feeling, i wanted to go back to the place the first of our tribe used to live. But humans were already here, and built Piltover. But i realized i wasn't the only survivor. Therefore, i joined Zaun, the place my aura lead me.

DESIGN

Neither has inherited the power of Ruvaak Paar's Founder : The ability to transform into a feral Fennec. Ruvaak Paar's member draw their energy from their tail, where burns a Sinn Blaze, like a heart. They are able to manipulate space, form and Sinn to perform metamorphosis, teleportation, and convert this energy into powerful spells.

  • Biped Form

Biped fennec, ~3.3 ft. Pink fur, marked by darker pink spots [cf drawing], magenta hair. A yellow bandana tie his hair into a strand of hair. He usually wears roomy clothes, his favourite one being the traditional Ruvaak Paar's mage robe. Drawn by Mlice, thanks

  • Feral Form

Small quadruped fennec! [usual fennec dimensions]. Same colours, but a blue aura emanates of him since the Sinn usually running through his veins is even more concentrate. Drawn by Snö [SnowArtic], thanks!

Neither lose his left eye during Ruvaak Paar's last day tragedy. Sinn flowing out of it marked his fur with magic tears [see feral form drawing, forget to ask it on biped form drawing.]

FIGHTING STYLE & SKILLS

Ok, let's go for the gameplay!

Main role - Mage Second role - Bruiser Lane - Midlane Ressource - Mana Range - Melee [Range : 190] Notes - Neither is a mage possessing weak stats in early : Mana is a huge problem. Still, he possess a lot of tools to survive through the game, and he'll become an heavy damage dealer with high survivability considering he can manage his passive.

  • PASSIVE - Fury of the Sandborn

Using his ultimate ability, Neither is able to switch between his Biped and Feral forms. Each of those grant him two different kits : Same levelling but seperated cooldowns.

  • Using a spell under Biped form grants him a Composure stack and consumes a Tempest stack if he posses one. Each stack of Composure grants him a bonus of 4/8/12/16 AP to a maximum of 5 stacks.

  • Using a spell under Feral form grants him a Tempest stack and consumes a Composure stack if he posses one. Each stack of Tempest grants him a bonus of 4/5/6/7 %Mvmt.Spd to a maximum of 5 stacks.

The stats given by Composure and Tempest fifth stack are doubled. Moreover, at the obtention of this fifth stack, Neither gains a special ability :

  • Biped Form : 12.5/15/17.5/20% of Neither's inflicted damages [Spells only] are converted into True Damages.
  • Feral Form : Neither gains 30% Tenacity and his basic attacks inflict 10/20/30/40 (+0.30 AP) magic damages on hit.

Scales with ult level.

Neither's passive gives him the opportunity to take two paths : Brutal strenght, or mobility and consistant damages. Still, we'll see that his Ultimate hability will make this choice even harder, and Neither will have to deserve his fifth stack.

  • Biped Q - Sinn Bursts Cost : 60/70/80/90/100 Mana CD : 14/12.5/11/9.5/8 s Range : 1200 [Lux cage, as wide as Xerath orb]

Neither aims at a target location and throws a magic orb with his tail, channels from 0.5 to 4 s [press button again to cast earlier] and throws another orb in this direction.

  • First Orb - Inflicts 70/120/160/210/260 (+0.35 AP) magic damages to the first hit ennemy, affecting him with a 20/27.5/35/42.5/50% (+5% per 100 AP, capped a 80%) slow, decreasing over 1.5 s
  • Seconde Orb - Inflicts 70/120/160/210/260 (+0.35 AP) à 130/200/270/340/410 (+1 AP) magic damages to the first hit ennemy, depending the chanelling time. Will apply the same slow if channeled for 4 seconds.

Neither can move and cast other spells during second orb channeling, but is slowed of 60%

Huge burst : High skill, high reward. Fail it, and feel the cooldown in early.

  • Feral Q - Path of the ancients Cost : 45 Mana CD : 12 s Range : First portal can be created within a 1400 range [a bit shorter than Vel's Ult]. The second by casting the spell a second time within a 800/875/950/1025/1100 range from the first portal.

Neither creates two portals linked to each other and lasting 5/6.5/8/9.5/11 seconds. Ally skillshots can travel through them, adding 15/30/45/60/75% of their basic range. Neither can travel through too, making them disappear instantly and increasing the cooldown of 16/15/14/13/12 seconds.

If a champion is dragged on a portal, he will stop on it [like a blitz grab].

First utilitary and mobility spell of the Vastayan. And about the range reinitialization, imagine an Ahri's kiss going through the portal, if Neither's Q spell is maxed the kiss will go out from the other portal and keep going for the rest of the travelling distance then 75% of its usual range.

  • Biped W - Sandborn's Relief Cost : 90 Mana CD : 21/19/17/15/13 s

The fox draws energy from his tail, healing himself 40/60/80/100/120 (+0.3 AP) HPs and shielding himself 60/70/80/90/100% of this amount montant during 1 s

Basic sustain spell helping Neither with his constant exposition. Can also avoid a big burst.

  • Feral W - Sandborn's Lament Cost : 55/65/75/85/95 Mana CD : 13/12/11/10/9 s Range : 250 [Amumus despair]

Cursed Sands called by Neither create a 25/27.5/30/32.5/35% slowing zone, aspiring the ennemies catched inside if they are immobilized. Each semi second, the slow increases of 2 (+0.5% per 100 AP) every seconds. At the 4th second, He breaks the curse and knockup all the ennemies inside the sands for 0.75 second

Neither's CC. Melee exposition.

  • Biped E - Inhale, Exhale Cost : 60/75/90/105/120 Mana CD : 12/11/10/9/8 s Cone Range : 800 [a tad bigger than Mordekaiser's] Projectile Range : 1400 [200 further than his Q], thin and fast like Leona's E.

Neither drains the life of the ennemies facing him, dealing 30/60/90/120/150 (+0.4 AP) magic damages. If he got at least 1 stack of composure, he converts that life into mana, gaining 1% mana per ennemy hit, capped at 5%.

He spits that excess of energy as a thin, piercing projectile, dealing 40/75/110/145/180 (+ 0.4 AP) (+4% Actual Mana) magic damages to all the ennemies hit [decreasing by 10% for each ennemies hit until 50%]. Inflicts 175% damages to minions.

PUSHING TOOL! Gotta farm til late game boi. Also adds an interactions with the Q

  • Feral E - Ether Cost : 45 Mana CD : 14s

Neither's elders grant the Ruvaak Paar their etheral form during 0.4/0.5/0.6/0.7/0.8 s. During this span of time, He gains 40/45/50/55/60% mvmt.spd, cleanses all slow affecting him and mitigates 30/40/50/60/70% of received damages. He can neither throw spells nor throw basic attacks.

His next basic attack deals 15/40/65/90/115 (+0.5 AD) physical damages to the ennemy.

Here goes another useful spell, completing his kit.

  • R - Metamorphosis Cost : 30 Mana CD : 2s Already got one point at lv 1. Neither can still invest skill points at level 6, 11, 16.

Neither changes from his actual form to the other one if he got less than 5 Tempest or Composure stacks without any casting time. When he changes from Biped to Feral form, Neither becomes Mana-Soaked, and 5% of his AP is converted into Armor and Magic resist, increasing to 10% over 2 seconds.

When he reaches 5 Tempest or Composure stacks, Metamorphosis can't be casted and his changed into The Sacrifice

  • R - The Sacrifice Cost : 20% Max HP [+10% Actual HP].

Neither can't cast this spell as it appears for 13/10/7 seconds. After this cooldown, it becomes available. Upon activation, Neither deals himself 20% Max HP [+10% Actual HP] true damages, unnaffected by Ether's mitigation, which makes him change form, brings his Composure and Tempest stacks to zero and makes Metamorphosis cast available again.

Here, now you will be careful about your stacks, Neither. 20% HP, trust me it hurts.
