OK, so with yet another failed GG MF discussion of mine ( I swear people just don't like me when I post about it), I figured it was time to just cut off from that and get back to the Candidates series.

As with last time, we discussed about Guardian of the Sands/Sandstorm/Egyptian/Shuriman type skins. Now today's topic will be around probably a more popular skin series: Blood Moon.

So Blood Moon, as far as I can tell, is heavily Japanese based in theme with a cult revolving around the time when there's a blood moon (obviously). They dabble in death, killing anyone under the red moon's glow as sacrifices, either maybe as a summoning or just to please the Blood Moon god. Either way, it's basically a murder cult.

Current lineup consists of Akali Diana Elise Jhin Kalista Kennen Talon Shen TwistedFate Thresh Zilean Yasuo


So, right off the bat, the general topic I get with Blood Moon is that it tries to focus on Assassins to an extent, but there can be some acceptions, like Shen and Thresh for example. It may also focus on champs that may have a great tie in with the look or Japanese culture in some way.

To start from my list:

Bard Odd choice I know but I could see him being some sort of guiding spirit for those the cult has slain

Evelynn Simple demon. Blood Moon demon. What else?

Kassadin Could possibly work with the theme of Assassins but still could be debatable

Katarina I don't see why not. She gets a lot of other work, plus it would be interesting to see a concept of Katarina in a Blood Moon mask

Kayn People have suggested this so why not? Rhaast some blood moon demon, Kayn being part of the cult. Only issue is that one would have to really be red and the other something else. Could get confusing and messy.

Kindred There's concept art. It can work.

Nocturne Might work....but probably not since there's not much to go off of.

Shaco Could easily see him being Japanese based. Only issue is that it may clash with one of his skins (that I can't think of the name right now)

Trundle Could work as a Oni Troll, but I feel like that could be its own separate thing, maybe Warring Kingdoms even

Varus We don't necessarily have an archer yet. I could see concepts for this.

Vladimir Kind of a joke, tbh but hey it still could happen

Anyways those are my choices, not a lot since this is one of those themes I can't think a lot of concepts on, but what are your ideas? Discuss below and vote for what you want to discuss on the 30th. As for me, I need to stew in my anger/frustration for my recent posts and more or less try to enjoy my week of Spring Break before heading back to finish my second year of college.

I would like to add some more champions to that.

Camille Could fit in the priestess class, she offered her body to a demon and that caused her transformation, replacing her legs with blades. Could work with a Kuchisake-Onna theme.

Quinn Could imagine her as some kind of demon tamer. Especially since the 3-legged crow "Yatagarasu" is a thing in Japan.

Rammus Another oddball, like some of your choices. But if we can make Trundle work with an Oni theme, why not put Rammus in there with a Kappa theme?

Ok, just a small bit of info you missed out completely on: the Blood Moon skin line separates between 3 status positions within the cult:

Demons (do all the dirty work, they're basicly the hunters): Jhin Kalista Kennen Shen Talon Thresh Yasuo

Priestresses (receive orders by the Admins, commanding the demons to fulfill them): Akali Diana Elise

Administrators (highest ranked members, controling all of the cult's actions): TwistedFate Zilean (with Zilean being the head of the cult)

There's a hierarchy and story within the skinline and your skin ideas have to fit into this somehow. My hopes/ideas would be (sorted by role):

Demon: Kindred MonkeyKing

Priestress: Karma

Admin: Malzahar
