im currently trying to create a fan champion who is an aspect but im a little confused about how aspects and celestials work in order to figure out how my champ will fit into things.. so as far as i know

aspect of the sun aspect of the moon aspect of war aspect of protection aspect of twilight aspects of justice

am i missing any?

anyways, so is Leona the aspect of just runeterra sun or all the suns in the universe? same goes for all the aspects really. does leona work for hes the creator of stars so did he make leona the aspect? if not then who's above him? who is in charge of appointing aspects? does have an aspect of death? or is it just them doin the work? what about ? can create their own aspects if they wanted to?

Taric technically isn't the Aspect of Protection.

He is the Aspect of the Protector.

The Protector himself doesn't, ironically enough, embody protection. He's never referred to as doing such.

Instead, Taric is referred to as "Runeterra's guardian of life, love, and beauty".

So if we're being specific, Taric is technically three Aspects in one. The Aspect of Life, Aspect of Love, and the Aspect of Beauty.

As for any other Aspects, in Ezreal's Field Notes on the official map of Runeterra, down near Paretha in Eastern Shurima, a shaman claimed that Ezreal's soul is "entwined" with the Aspect of the Traveller, hinting at yet another Aspect.

While this Aspect might be someone we don't even know yet and will be revealed later on, the Aspect of the Traveller might be Bard, considering he has a connection to Targon, is known as "The Wandering Caretaker", and often travels a lot.

As for Leona, I don't think she's the "Aspect of the Sun" in the sense of her powers being from any specific sun in question, rather, I think it means she's the Aspect of Sun Magic in general, this power being granted to her by the "Celestial of the Sun".

Same for Diana.

None of the Aspects work for Aurelion Sol. Quite the contrary, Aurelion Sol is the one that has to work for the Targonians, the inhabitants of "The Real Targon". They are (presumably) also the same ones that are in charge of choosing new Aspects. That, or the Celestials themselves (it's also possible that the Targonians are the Celestials).

Kindred doesn't have an "Aspect", and won't be able to either, as they're a spirit with no connection to Targon.

I think the celestial aspects are the embodiment of almost any concept you can think of. But looking at it from an outsiders perspective its quite difficult to follow.

Most people understand that there's a couple of aspects representing abstract concepts (Justice, War, Protection). While others instead represent astronomical bodies (Sun, Moon, Twilight).

But the case is most represent both abstract concepts and astronomical bodies. The Protector is the concept of life (love & beauty), while also being etherial starlight. Twilight is the astronomical event of between dusk and dawn, while also the abstract concept of change (apparently youth & imagination too). Then we have Pantheon who represents war (conflict & the warrior's spirit), while also a constellation.

Sadly the others aren't so clear on what they fully represent. The aspects of The Sun, Moon, and Justice have no concepts attached to them, none that I can think/know of. Which I would presume they should. Neither of the Sun and Moon represents an abstract concept, while Justice has no known astronomical body.

We also have Soraka, who is one among the celestials, but isn't an Aspect by a title like the others are. She has no concept to embody nor comes from a specific part of the astral sphere. My theory is she'll someday evolve into the Aspect of the Shepherd, meaning guidance and inspiration.
