LORE:

Once, sky and land were together and inseperable. Though their love for each other was strong, the children in the void between earth and sky were crushed by the dark embrace of their parents. When they deemed the darkness was something that the world did not need, they revolted and successfully pushed their parents apart, with the trees becoming the column to hold the sky in its place.

As the two lovers were separated from their embrace, Rangi the Sky gave Papa the Earth his final seed, and a god was born deep in the womb of the earth. Ruaumoko was formed within the warmth of his mother's womb. Yet without the care of his father, Ruaumoko refused to be birthed and stayed within his mother. There he grew and caused such great pain to his mother.

Despite this, he remains deep within her womb. His childish laughter and movement through his mother causes earthquakes to occur, and his continuous growth causes the violent eruptions of volcanoes. This happened for a while till he finds himself expulsed from his mother's womb. Curious of the world above, he explores to find violence and death. After being denied passage inside his dying mother, a thought came to his head: "If I save my mother, she will allow me to return to her warmth." Thus he enters the battlefield, for his own selfish need.

PASSIVE: Stone Fists

Everytime Ruaumoko uses an ability, his next basic attack deals true damage. This passive can stack up to three times.

Ability: Self Effect: Buff Stacks: 3 times

ABILITY 1: Portrude

Ruaumoko sends a portrusion of the earth at a location, damaging and knocking up enemies hit as well as leaving behind a monolith that acts as a wall.

ABILITY 2: Pulverize

Ruaumoko sends forward a powerful punch in a cone to damage enemies. If the Portruded Earth is within the area of the ability, it shatters and sends shrapnels flying forward, extending the range and dealing more damage, as well as shredding physical protections.

Ability: Cone Effect: Damage Radius/Distance: 35ft ~ 55ft Damage: 100/140/180/220/260 ~ 120/180/240/300/360 (+65% PP) Decreased Physical Protections: -3/5/7/9/11 for 2s Cost: Cooldown:

ULTIMATE: Papa's Wrath

Ruaumoko summons two gigantic fists of stone that deals cone damage and slows enemies per hit, refreshing per hit. While the ultimate is active, Ruaumoko may activate the ultimate to perform a short leap, stunning enemies in a small area at his target. The leap has a cooldown of 7 seconds.

Ability: Self Effect: Buff Duration: 6/8/10/12/14s Slow: 20/25/30/35/40% Slow per Hit Leap Distance: 35ft Stun: 1s Cost: Cooldown:

AUTHOR NOTES:

Ruaumoko is geared to be an anti-tank, anti-auto attack oriented warrior. Though he has no sustains, he has abilities that help him negate some damage from his opponents.

How can he jump on his ult when it's at rank 1? Unless I'm misreading this.

After activating his ultimate, he can immediately jump, but to jump again requires you to wait for 7 seconds (so you can only really jump once during rank 1, and twice for the rest of the ranks.

Oh ok, thanks for clarifying. I can see how each ability can wumbo combo with others. I like him.

Glad I cleared some confusions and misunderstandings that you may have had. And thanks for liking him, appreciate the compliment. Any other questions?
