Karma's New Lore (now with commentary and fried chicken)
The story:
Karma is the living embodiment of an ancient Ionian soul, who serves as a spiritual beacon to each generation of her people. Her most recent incarnation came in the form of a 12-year-old girl named Darha Raised in the northern highlands, she was headstrong and independent, always dreaming of a life beyond her provincial village.
--**Darha?? Who dis chick? Specially when Rito ain't even able to figure out who Karma is. But gurl is a strong, independent black woman. I like that. But honestly, she should've just packed up and leave. Gurl, you ain't gotta stay in Ionia. Go to Demacia. Or better yet. Bilgewater. And be the black Miss Fortune they never had. The Pepper to her Salt. **
But Darha began to suffer strange, fitful visions. The images were curious—they felt like memories, yet the girl was certain they had not happened to her. At first, the problem was easy enough to conceal, but the visions grew in intensity until Darha was convinced she was descending into madness.
--**Girl, should've check into a clinic. A pill or two usually does the trick for me. Or slapped them visions around, if she's that headstrong and independent. **
Just when it seemed she would be confined to the healing huts forever, a group of monks visited her village. They had come from a place known as the Lasting Altar, where the divine leader Karma had passed away some months earlier. The monks were in search of the old man’s next incarnation, believing him to be among the villagers. They applied a series of tests to everyone they met, but eventually prepared to leave empty handed.
--**Why she in the healing huts anyways? Arbitrarily thrown in, especially when she ain't even a healer. That's just sexist writing. Females. Are. Not. Heal. Bots. Except, you Sona, you stay right derr next to your ADC. Also, Dalai Lama realness all up in this story. **
As they passed the healing huts, Darha threw herself out of her cot and ran to stop them. She wept, telling them of her visions, and that she had known the monks’ voices from the babble in her head.
--In the real world, she'd be locked up in an institution with Harley Quinn.
They recognized the signs immediately. This was their Karma. The visions were past lives rushing to fill a new vessel.
--**These johns drinking the same Kool-Aid that she is. **
In that moment, Darha’s life changed forever. She bid farewell to all she’d ever known, and journeyed to the Lasting Altar to learn from the monks. Over the years, they taught her to connect with her ancient soul, and the girl found her own voice drowned out by thousands of others, each espousing the wisdom of ages past. Karma had always advocated peace and harmony, teaching that any act of evil would bring about its own repercussions, and so required no response. But even as she became Karma, Darha struggled to understand this simple truth.
--Damn, she just sacrificed her own personality and gave her power away to let MEN dictate what she can do. Typical patriarchy. If anything, she should've bounced like Syndra after she learned her shit and could've used it to rule the world. Or build a fried chicken franchise, cuz Galio is doing extremely well. Call it KFC. Karma's Fried Chicken. Make all them coins if you open it near low-income areas like Zaun.
Indeed, these philosophies were truly tested when Noxus invaded Ionia. Many thousands were killed as the enemy warbands advanced inland, and Karma was forced to face the harsh realities of war. She could feel the immense destructive potential that swelled in her soul, and with it, the impetuous voice of young Darha screaming: What is the point of this power, if not to use it?
--Darha got it right. Meanwhile, they just pulled a Varus/Zoe with this lore and now instead of two gays + 1 Darkin or a brat + 1 immense being, you got 1 kid + some rando with MPD. I'll take the two gays + Darkin please, Alex. They know how to go clubbing.
Karma agonized over this. Eventually she compromised, deciding to kill just one person, but that it had to be the right person to kill. She confronted a Noxian commander on the deck of his own war frigate, and unleashed her divine fury. But instead of a single, measured attack, she obliterated the entire vessel and its crew in a heartbeat.
--That's some bad parenting, Karma. You've just let your child walk all over you. Should've brought a snack. Or in this case, a backhand.
Though the Ionians rejoiced at this apparent victory, Karma was left strangely empty. The voices that had spoken so clearly in her mind now fell silent, and she felt Darha returning to prominence—this brought little comfort, however, as she realized she had made a huge mistake. She returned to the Lasting Altar to meditate and perform penance for upsetting the spiritual harmony of her homeland. Killing would always be easy, but came at the cost of true enlightenment. She had already tarnished her own undying soul along with those of her followers, and she would try her utmost to do no further injury.
--Who dis Karma now? That hoe is supposed to be Darha. Damnnn, this thing just stole this little girl's body and wiped her personality away clean. But that's okay. At long as you pray it away, it's fine, right? Just like when you sin and go to confessions to be absolved. Varus could learn from Karma. Pray away them gays. J/k, love you queens.
Though the war with Noxus is now long over, there are still many in Ionia who have become only too glad to meet violence with violence, even against their own neighbors. Karma has pledged to guide as many of them as she can to more peaceful means.
--Now she acting like Mother Theresa all up in this joint? We see your skeletons
And with every conflict she averts, more of the lost voices return to offer their eternal wisdom.
--What kind of wisdom is she gonna get? Especially when she ignored all of them previously and listened to some girl to kill somebody else. She needs to listen to Dua Lipa's 'New Rules' and Bye Felicia that brat. Just take that power and use it to get rich to afford hookers and cocaine. Who cares about dem voices? No amount of eternal wisdom is gonna buy you fried chicken. And last time I've checked, Galio was making bank
Seriously though.
This new lore is garbage.
Stole from Avatar's story (yet again) and now ripping off the Tibetan's beliefs.
If she values peace and her crazy voices so much, Why. The. Fuck. Is. She. In. League?
League is a battle arena, where you kill shit. If she kills shit, she loses her voices.
A recommendation is to tell Karma v. 3.0 to hide into a cave and let the real Karma v. 1.0 come back with her fans ablazin'.
