Bilgewater needs to stay in motion!
Hello summoners,
for everyone not knowing it at this point, I am doing a series of threads, dedicated to discuss story hooks, personalities and general themes for champions you would want to join specific regions.
Focus today, the wharf rat plagued docks of Bilgewater!
As always, you are allowed to discuss anything you would like in here. May it be kit suggestions, appearance of the next coming Bilgewater rat, personality types you would enjoy, story hooks which should be explored..... the possibilities are endless.
Only restriction I am asking for is that we please focus on ideas centered around Bilgewater. And now, I will make use of my privilege and start with my own ideas for archetypes I would like to see.
Leash of the Beast We read alot in the lore about sea serpents and other dangerous creatures living in the depth of Bilgewater's seas. Yet, we don't have a champion directly tied with them, the closest we got is Illaoi as the priestess of Nagakabouros. I would like a champion, who was able to tame such a creature and using it for battle. I imagine a top lane vanguard, with a gigantic creature (for example: a crab), commanding it. The crab itself has alot of CC and scales with his defensive stats, but the guy himself is pretty vulnerable. For his ult, he is able to mount the creature, turning off his weakness of having a vulnerable tamer.
Pirate Yordle Many regions in the game got yordles, who kinda represent the ideals of their place. Zaun got Ziggs, Piltover has Heimerdinger on their salary list, Kennen fights for balance in Ionia, Poppy doesn't notice that she is the hero of Demacia, Kled forbids trespassing in Noxus aaaaaand so on. Bilgewater is lacking such a charismatic hamster, the Yordle should be a thief or cutthroad, worthy to be a sign of Gangplanks home. I could even imagine that he/she (we need females) has some visual similarities with wharf rats.
The Ahab A champion with a beastly nemesis, he lost everything that had any meaning for him because of this creature and will not rest until he killed it. I could imagine an aquatic void creature filling that role. I imagine him to be a jungler, wandering around looking for the beast (especially in the river).
These were some ideas from me, but you guys probably have something way more interesting to share. I hope for a great discussion.

and thats kind of a shame since there are so many different creatures below the sea,like octopi(no Vel'koz isn't an octopus just because he has tentacles),angler fish,sharks,crabs,etc.
