I've been thinking on this ever since Aatrox came out in June of 2013. Made up plenty of silly concepts.
Riot really delivered with Rhaast, with his interactions with Kayn. Varus is neat too, but I had always suspected he was a Darkin, so it's good to be right.
What's interesting is that Rhaast and Varus are more alike than Aatrox seems to be with either of them. From the looks of it, Aatrox is a fully-corrupted, long-gone human who's become a Darkin, or a Darkin that never died in the first place, though this will likely change with his new update he's receiving soon(tm).
With that being said, I'd like to propose the two Darkin ideas as two fundamentally unique concepts. The first is centered around the scourge-whip, a mage who utilizes this deadly, torturous weapon to flay fools who dare come close. The second is a tank-like colossus, a brawny figure who does one thing, and one thing only: smash.
Either can be women, although I prefer the scourge-whip to be female, as the tank being a woman strays too close to Illaoi's territory.
Or an axe. Axes are cool too.
