Champions and their Childhoods

Lux was way happier before she got sent to the Demacian military. She's now a shell of her former self because her original soul was broken in by strict discipline. Sona had dealt with being alone (aside from her instrument) since no one wanted to adopt her. That's got to have a lasting impact on her early development. She eventually got adopted by Miss Buvelle. Illaoi was described as self-conscious due to her tall height in her youth.

These details to these champs' lores made me wonder how the other champs were like in their childhoods.

Caitlyn A straight by-the-book person. May have been a teacher's pet or the class nerd. Jhin Obsessed with people who were dying. Sort of like Karthus, except had a thirst for morbid Ionian art. Ahri After becoming half-human, she was extremely awkward in motion and speech. She had a habit of walking on all fours and didn't wear clothing. Took her a while to get used to her new form and get her seductive skills on point. Gangplank Before killing his father and becoming the Reaver King, GP was a "jolly" pirate. Ziggs Played with matches Jinx Loved the smell of gunpowder and breaking things at a young age. Draven Self esteem issues as an orphan. Darius Hated quitters from an early age, since he had to raise Draven by himself. Braum's mother is one of the scariest yet nicest parents on the Freljord. Garen did Demacian Ballet and learned to ambush at an early age. Katarina did Noxian Ballet. Wanted to take after her father's business as an uber blade master.

Viktor: Son wake up! Today you will learn about the glorious evolution and why you are better than everyone else.

Blitzcrank: But daddy, I want to be with all the other kids

Viktor: Son, do not associate yourself with those blasphemous meatbag peasants. You are the future, the final form of evolution

Blitzcrank But daddy, my friend told me to use my powers to help others.

Viktor Your friend is a living blob of limbed mucus. He's a literal bugger.

Zac You called my name?

Mordekaiser 's childhood mist have been crucial to him becoming the murder emperor. Nobody with a decent childhood would become a tyrant hellbent on eternal conquest who resorted to necromancy to make his lust for domination surpass his mortal coil.

My personal head canon's him being the child of a warrior king and his sorceress mistress. Being taught in the art of war and forbidden magic from an early age, taking up his father's mantle after his death and just like Alexander the great striving to make a name for himself and add even more lands to his empire. Pride, greed and youthful lust for recognition having been the spark for him to be led unto the path of the Iron Revenant.

I'm pretty religious about my Vladimir headcanon.

Vladimir was disinherited from his noble family (hence no surname). Probable reason is his recessive mutation (albinism - white hair red eyes) which shows he (probably) was a child of incest. This also explains why he was a murderous psychopath at an early age, since inbred kids are often prone to mental issues. Also his parents not wanting to name him as their own to avoid being persecuted might have played a part.

It also explains why, when he murdered his two playmates, there was no one to bail him out (a noble kid would have gotten away with murder), so he had to run away.

Sion

Warning: Incoming headcannon

Sion I believe was born to a noble house in Noxus (What rank of nobility doesn't matter). He was a frightening youth, most likely spending his time bullying the weaklings around him. He did not fear his strength, he embraced it as the only thing that mattered. It was the Noxian way afterall.

Yet this did not give him satisfaction, nor did it give him respect. Even his very parents feared him at a distance. They thought they could hide these feelings from their brute of a son, but Sion was not as blunt as people believed him to be. This perception slowly began to fuel his rage as he went through the Noxian military. To everyone around him he was just a brute, a monster to be let loose onto the battlefields. They did not respect his tactical ideas, nor did anyone bother to stand up to him if he said something in the hopes of gaining retaliation.

What had given him joy as a child now frustrated him as an adult. Where were his peers? His friends? Were those around him just a feeble pack of dogs, cowering before the dire wolf that was Sion? He wanted respect from his fellow Noxian, not fear!

He was alone.

Until he met Boram Darkwill. The Grand General did not fear Sion's strength. His words of admiration held no lies like the countless weaklings before him. Sion felt not like a beast to Boram, but as another man.

Seeing what others did not, Boram promoted Sion to more favorable positions, each new one earned through cunning tactics and incredible victories. Before long Sion had become the right hand of Boram.

But everything change when Demacia attacked.

Azir Actually really reasonable to his slaves/servants, if still expectant of their service. Think Hohenheim.

Garen Jerked off to Demacian propaganda posters. Had much explaining to do to Mr and Mrs Crownguard.

Fiora A tremendous %%%%. Like, the type of person that the teacher would use to describe a %%%%.

TahmKench Really, really into Gordon Ramsay.

Vladimir See VaynexVlad OTP's post.

Veigar Super sweet as a child, if a bit hard to notice in a crowd, leading to a latent desire to be noticed which translated to megalomania in his villainy.

Yasuo The best musical arm-farter in all Ionia.

Draven The kid who tries to juggle rotten fruit standing on a soapbox to attract attention while Darius steals from vendors for them.

Riven Gymnast kid, wouldnt go anywhere without doing flips and cartwheels.

Talon : Pretty much was an orphan on the streets. Maybe he knew Darius. Maybe he didn't.

Leona : Was probably very nice and liked books and other non-violent things (at least according to her old lore)

Teemo : Probably committed rodent genocide and worshiped satan.

Rammus : Ok

I don't actually even know how she could get any happier
