The White Peony
PANTHEON: Chinese
CLASS: Assassin
TYPE: Melee, Physical
LORE
Bai Mudan, daughter of a mortal silk merchant, was noticeably special since birth. Having been the flower fairy of the heavens in her past life, her body was naturally scented with a beautiful fragrance, reminiscent to that of the peony flower. At the age of 18, Bai Mudan’s beauty became more and more distinguishable from the other women.
After the death of her father, Bai Mudan found employment as the greatest courtesan of the land. Men travelled far and wide to gain her company, as both her presence and her beauty was incomparable to that of any other mortal woman. It was even proclaimed that the loveliness of her face made the Goddess Chang’e hide behind the moon in shame. But what seduced these men the most was the discerning floral fragrance that naturally flowed out of her pores. She was compared to being a goddess. However, as Bai Mudan became more popular, she became increasingly conceited, and began to truly believe that she had the powers to seduce any man. She too believed she was a goddess.
One day the immortal, Lu Dongbin, disguised himself as a handsome scholar and approached Bai Mudan. As the courtesan’s persistent attempts to seduce the immortal failed, in both frustration and bewilderment she began insulting him. This infuriated Lu Dongbin, and so he cursed Bai Mudan; her face grew aged and tired, her porcelain skin became covered in cysts and boils, her slender curves were lost as her figure became abnormal and haggish, her hair thinned out until there was little to none left and her once beautiful aroma became a revolting stench. Bai Mudan had lost her beauty, and thus, she had lost her fortune. She spent years on end suffering for her loss.
After 10 years of shame and misery had passed, Bai Mudan was once again approached by Lu Dongbin, however this time revealing his true immortal form. After pleading for forgiveness, Bai Mudan was given the offer to return to working as the concubine goddess she once proclaimed to be. She declined this offer, however, claiming that she did not want to live the vain life she once had. Impressed with how she had changed, Lu Dongbin not only granted Bai Mudan back her beauty, but granted her immortality, bringing her to the heavens with him. Bai Mudan accepted, and so ascended to take her rightful place as the flower fairy, bringing her beautiful aroma to the heavens to share with the gods.
PASSIVE
Disfigure
Whenever Bai Mudan drops to 30% HP or less she automatically switches to her ugly state, affecting her abilities. While she is in combat, as enemies remain within a range of Bai Mudan, they will progressively become more and more afflicted by her aroma every 2 seconds.
In her regular, beautiful state, her floral aroma infatuates enemies, making them more vulnerable to Bai Mudan's attacks.
As Bai Mudan changes to her ugly state, her aroma becomes a repulsive stench which instead makes enemies less inclined to damage Bai Mudan, decreasing the amount of damage taken by these enemies’ attacks.
Beautiful State: +2.5% increased damage (max 4 stacks)
Ugly State: +2.5% decreased damage (max 4 stacks)
Radius: 25
Debuff Duration: 4 seconds
Ability Type: AuraIf an enemy leaves the aura radius, they will still be afflicted by the debuff for 4 seconds.
In transforming into her ugly state, visually Bai Mudan will become hunched over and decrepit. Her dress would become torn and her hair messy and unkept. All of her animations would change; her walk would go from gracious steps leaving a trail of flower petals behind her to trudging around. Her basic attacks would go from elegantly wielding her fans, attacking in a dance-like fashion, to instead making malicious and relentless slashes. Even backing, laugh and taunt animations would change. Her voice-pack would change from an alluring and seducing voice, to husky and gross (i think you get the point)
ABILITY 1
Fan Slash
Bai Mudan’s fans grow blades augmenting her next 3 basic attacks, making them arc attacks and causing them to do additional damage.
Damage: 30/35/40/45/50 (+30% of physical power)
Ability Type: Stim
Cooldown: 12/11/10/9/8 seconds
Cost: 50/55/60/65/70 manaCan do a total of 90/105/120/135/150 (+90% of physical power) additional damage ontop of basic attack damage.
The arcs completely act as basic attacks, so all items effects work, including crits, qins, lifesteal and fatalis.
The size of arcs aoe will be short and have around a 135° angle. The first arc would go from left to right, 2nd from right to left and third would be left to right again. Activating this ability interrupts and ignores all basic attack progressions.
ABILITY 2
Seductress
Bai Mudan’s poses, catching the attention of all enemies in an area around her, causing them to instantly face her and become mesmerised. If an enemy is already facing Bai Mudan while activating this ability, it flatters her, granting her a temporary increase in movement speed.
In her Ugly state, enemies will instead become completely appalled by the sight of Bai Mudan, causing them to be stunned for 1s before the mez.
Mez Duration: 1/1.25/1.5/1.75/2s
Movement Speed Buff: 20/25/30/35/40% for 5s
Ability Type: Area / Buff
Range: 20
Cooldown: 18 seconds
Cost: 70/75/80/85/90 manaDue to diminishing returns, in her ugly state it will work out as doing a 0.66/0.825/0.99/1.155/1.32s mez after the stun duration. So in total has the potential of immobilising somebody for 1.66/1.825/1.99/2.155/2.32s.
ABILITY 3
Peony Step
Bai Mudan conjures a gust of flowery wind which helps her gracefully leap through the air. As she lands, she damages and applies full stacks of her passive to all enemies within the radius.
In her Ugly state, she travels to the location significantly faster.
Damage: 60/110/160/210/260 (+70% of your physical power)
Ability Type: Leap
Radius: 15
Cooldown: 14 seconds
Cost: 70 manaVisually the flower petals will be white/pale pink. They will emit outward in a circle of where she lands. In her ugly state the flower petals will become brown and dead. She will travel almost like a ballerina in her beautiful state, graceful but relatively slowly in comparison to most leaps in the game. But she would just crash down to the ground recklessly and forcefully in her ugly state.
ULTIMATE
Fairy of Heaven
Bai Mudan channels briefly before raising up into the air, summoning a vortex of flower petals in the area around her. All enemies caught in its radius are damaged and are banished for the duration. During this banish time, Bai Mudan can dash forward in any direction. If she collides with an airborne enemy under a health threshold, she executes them and can then choose a landing location. If the enemy is not within the health threshold they take damage, and they and Bai Mudan both return to the ground directly below them.
Landing an execute in her Ugly state will automatically restore Bai Mudan’s health back up to return her back to her Beautiful state.
Damage: 80/105/130/155/180 (+40% of your physical power)
Collison Damage: 90/125/160/195/230 (+70% of your physical power)
Duration: 2.5 seconds
Execute Threshold: 30% HP
Ability Type: Area
Radius: 25
Cooldown: 90 seconds
Cost: 100/105/110/115/120 manaThe dash interactions for this ability is completely single target, and so enemies can body block their allies from being executed.
This ability will have around a 1 second charge-up time, whereby she will be completely cc immune.
The vortex will persist, and so if an enemy enters its radius after Bai Mudan initially conjures it, they will still take damage and will be banished for the remaining duration of it. Bai Mudan will remain completely central and will be able to pivot around to dash in a direction.
Visually the flower petals will circle up in a vortex as Bai Mudan Arises. When Bai Mudan collides with an enemy who isn't within the execute threshold, she will slash her fan downward as she slams the enemy down to the ground. If she collides with an enemy within the threshold, she uppercuts the enemy and dashes upward, taking the executed enemy up with them. The flower petals will be white/pale pink in her beautiful state, but brown and dead in her ugly state.
APPEARANCE
She would have long, black hair, which would be worn down, however would have twin-loops signifying her fairy relations. Also accompanied with hair accessories and flowers.
Her dress would be primarily white, with pale pink accents. It would be lightweight, and not a full-length hanfu dress to attribute her assassin qualities. It would have a hi-low skirt (open at the front and longer in the back)
She would wield two fans, which would be bladed along the edges.

This is an updated version of a past concept I made for the same goddess. I've decided to renew not only this concept, but the others I previously made.
