Amatsu-Mikaboshi
The Figure of Darkness
Japanese
Warrior
Physical
Melee
Appearance
I don't exactly have an image, but I can imagine him appearing primarily as the torso of a skeleton, floating from a dark cloud-type aura. His arms would consist of a system of loose tentacles, but, as he gains stacks on his passive, the tentacles will begin to tighten and become what resembles thick arm muscles. With this change, he himself will also grow in size and stature. This will be explained later.
EDIT: I originally didn't want to use this image due to it being from an official comic series, but it does do a decent job of visualizing what this guy would look like.
Lore
Before the beginning, there was nothing but darkness. No stars shined, and no gods ruled over the Earth, for there was no Earth to rule over. There was all but one being - Amatsu-Mikaboshi, a force of pure darkness. He dominated the empty void, reigning over what made up the nothingness. Even he was not of any physical form.
In an instant, however, his rule over the abyss was shattered into mere bits upon what many say was the movement of In and Yo, which lead forth to the creation of all that existed. With this formation of life itself, Amatsu-Mikaboshi vanished.
The master of evil still existed, however. Although nobody - not even the gods themselves - could see him, Amatsu-Mikaboshi lived in the evil that was housed in every soul. He was not visible, but his presence was everywhere. People feared him, cultists worshiped him. Some even went to call him a sort of satanic deity. Amatsu-Mikaboshi feeds off of the darkness within each soul, and, when left alone to feast, chaos was sure to erupt from the darkness. Since the birth of life and all that is good, he has not stopped growing and feeding on the evil that lies beneath. Now, with a war brewing, Amatsu-Mikaboshi has come to hunt for the anger that remains within the gods themselves.
Abilities
Passive: Hunger for Passion: Amatsu-Mikaboshi feeds off of the darkness and hatred of all that surround him. As Amatsu-Mikaboshi takes damage from enemies, he will gradually grow stronger based on how much damage he receives. Over time, he will gain protections and additional physical scaling on all of his abilities.
1 stack will be gained from attacks from enemy minions and jungle creeps, 2 stacks will be gained for basic attacks from enemy gods, and a variable amount of stacks will be received upon every instance of ability damage that deals a percentage of Amatsu-Mikaboshi's maximum health. These stacks will decrease over time while out of combat.
Protections per stack: 0.2
Ability scaling per stack: 0.35%
Stack depletion rate: 5 per 3 seconds
Stack gain from ability damage: 1 * percentage of maximum health lost
Max stacks: 100
First Ability: Feast: Amatsu-Mikaboshi's tentacles reach to the soul of the first enemy god they reach and rip it from their body, dealing damage, healing himself, and contributing to his passive. The enemy god continues to bleed, taking damage every tick for 5 seconds.Amatsu-Mikaboshi is meant to be a slightly tanky warrior, and I feel that this passive definitely compliments that. It should allow him to survive in a teamfight, and it also gives him some survivability during the early laning phase of the game. He should have no problem poking the enemy laner without worrying about damage from minions. This passive also encourages front line presence in teamfights.
Note: As Amatsu-Mikaboshi gains stacks, his appearance will change as I described in the section above.
Ability: Line
Damage: 70/85/100/115/130 (+55%)
Bleed Damage: 12/18/24/30/40 (+5%)
Heal: 45/50/55/60/65% of damage received by enemy
Hunger for Passion stacks: 8
Cooldown: 14s
Cost: 65/70/75/80/85 mana
Second Ability: Corruption: Amatsu-Mikaboshi inflicts an enemy with a lethal shadow that deals damage and spreads from that enemy to each enemy around it. This can occur 3 times, the damage declining in power with each instance, until it deals 50% of the damage upon the final instance.This guy can't spend his time sitting in front of gods and taking damage, so I thought that he could use another method of gaining stacks, as well as making up all of the lost health he may take while building stacks. The poke that this ability provides is nice, too.
Note: Amatsu-Mikaboshi is rooted during this ability's execution.
Ability: AoE
Radius: 20
Damage: 90/115/140/165/200 (+80%)
Cooldown: 10s/11s/12s/13s/15s
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70
Third Ability: Shadow Rush: Amatsu-Mikaboshi warps to a target enemy god. From there, his next basic attack will root the enemy deal additional damage based on how many stacks he has on Hunger for Passion.This ability is meant to be Amatsu-Mikaboshi's primary method of waveclear, but it will also definitely be very useful during teamfights, particularly when the enemies have grouped up.
Ability: Leap, Buff
Damage Buff: 40/50/60/70/80 (+40%)
Root Duration: 1.5s
Cooldown: 16s
Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 mana
Ultimate: Apocalypse: After a short startup period of 2s, Amatsu-Mikaboshi releases the evils collected through Hunger for Passion. Every 0.125 ticks, at lease one pulse of energy is released from him and sent towards all enemy gods within a 50m radius, dealing damage and slowing them. This lasts until Amatsu-Mikaboshi runs out of stacks, or for a maximum of 8s.This is my attempt at giving players a reason to build for basic attack damage, as well as adding some mobility to this god. Note that when I use the word "warp," I am referring to how Hades' "Death from Below" is technically a leap, and that this ability works in the same day. At first, I had a blink, but then I realized the nightmare that would come with a blink-ult.
He is CC immune for the duration of this ability, and the passive effects of Hunger for Passion do not disappear until the ability ends.
Ability: Aura
Damage per pulse: 20/25/30/35/40 (+10%)
Slow: 40%
Cooldown: 100s
Cost: 80/90/100/110/125 mana
I thought that I may as well give the stacks from Hunger for Passion another purpose, and this is it. I made sure to set the damage very low, just to ensure that Amatsu-Mikaboshi wouldn't deal thousands of health in damage to one target just because they couldn't escape for whatever reason. The time allotted for the ability also isn't enough to allow all of the stacks to be spent on one player, so there's that.
Note: Yes, I know that this is very similar to Zhong Kui's ultimate. Please, kill me now.
Also, Amatsu-Mikaboshi is slowed by 10% during this ability, but may still move.
