Name:Mariana,The Lance Maiden
Role: Fighter

Female, Human

Residence:Mariana is from the City-State of Noxus.

Friends: Riven, Katarina
Rivals/Enemies: Leblanc

Appearance: She is about 5-Foot 5-Inches tall, an attractive, developed figure with fair white skin (but not overly developed/voluptuous like some of the other female champions) shoulder-length black hair with olive-green eyes, beautiful face, appears to be in her early to mid 20's. Wields a long silver pole-arm weapon. (Similar in appearance to Serge's weapon from Chrono Cross.)

Classic Skin: Wears a cedar-brown shirt, with two small chrome-grey shoulder pauldrons, one on each arm, white hand-bandage wrappings around the palms of her hands, tanned leather pants and raven-black battle boots.

Atlantean Mariana: Wears a helmet designed to resemble a great white shark's head, along with a tight, wet-suit-like armor colored grey and white, like a great white shark. Both of the ends of her pole-arm are pronged, like a trident.

Crimson Elite Mariana: Wears a magenta-purple armored shirt with matching armored pants and plated gloves on her hands and similarly colored boots on her feet. She wears an open-face gold and teal barbuta helmet, similar to Talon and Riven.

Elderwood Mariana: Wears a purple and teal druid's robe, with the hood up, covering most of her face. Her eyes are shining blue from under the hood of the robe, and her pole-arm/swallow is made of sharpened rock and wood that is strung together to form a make-shift weapon.

Health: 547 (+53)      Attack Damage: 54 (+2.6)
Health Regen: 3.460 (+0.7)    Attack Speed: 0.703 (+2.0%)
Mana: 284 (+57)      Armor: 22 (+2.1)
Mana Regen: 3.904 (+0.7)   Magic Resist: 23 (+1.4)
Range: Melee      Movement Speed: 345

Passive: Matchless Zeal/Second Wind
Dealing damage from abilities grants Mariana "Zeal", with 1 count of "Zeal" for each Champion hit by one of her abilities, for a maximum of 5. She keeps the gathered counts of "Zeal" for a 6-second grace period, and then loses 1 count of "Zeal" every second after that until she obtains another or loses them all. If she can gain 5 counts of "Zeal" it is replaced with "Matchless Zeal", granting her improved damage ratios on her abilities for the next 7 seconds. When this time is up, she gains the de-buff "Second Wind" and cannot gather counts of "Zeal" for 25 seconds. (The total static cool-down of "Second Wind" is reduced by 5 seconds every time Mariana ranks up her Ult, going to 20, 15, and 10 at max rank.)

Q: Drill Thrust (Two Actives)
1st Active: Marina points one end of her pole-arm forward, spinning it in a drilling fashion as she charges a moderate distance forward, damaging units in her path.
2nd Active: Marina swings the end facing away from her forward, slashing any units in front of her in a small arc.

W: Inspire
Active: Mariana hurls her pole-arm at the area targeted by the player, and when it reaches it, a lightning bolt strikes down in a small circular radius, dealing magic damage and slowing all struck by it. It then teleports back to her hand.
Passive: Mariana is healed for 1/6th of the damage dealt to all units struck by the lightning bolt. Can only occur once every 9 seconds.

E: Scathing Slash
Active: After a short delay, Mariana performs a powerful slash that damages all units in front of her in a half-circle radius. Units struck by this ability have the de-buff "Scathe" added for 5 seconds.
Passive: Additional attacks or hits from her abilities add more counts of "Scathe", up to 4, and it is then replaced with "Ravaged".

R: Final Cast
Active: Mariana hurls her pole-arm high into the sky, and it magically grows in size, and crashes down on her target, dealing great damage and generating a shock-wave that knocks other champions a small distance away and dealing a reduced amount of damage to them. If "Ravaged" is affecting her target or any other champions hit by the shock-wave, the damage is boosted by 25% (If the main target has "Ravaged") and 12.5% (If any other champion has "Ravaged").

Lore:
"To gain, and to prove their strength, is the desire of every Noxian. So much, in fact, that it blinds us to all else."
Mariana is a member of the armies of Noxus, a staunch and immovable pillar of strength, another paragon of her nation's ideals. During the tumultuous times of Grand General Darkwill's death, she wisely chose not to oppose Swain's rise to power, thus saving her from a bloody fate at the end of Darius' axe. She took a spectator-role to the political strife of those times, believing it to be a waste of her time and strength to participate in such follies. This earned her a prestigious position when the military was re-formed, and she took to it immediately. She performed well, earning her respect and accommodations from her colleagues in the Noxian hierarchy. But, a strange feeling had lingered in her mind, ever since she was a little girl. Why was "Strength" considered the foremost thing to devote oneself to? Were there not other ideals just as worthy of such praise and acclamation in her nation? History seemed to suggest that there was more to what gave rise to their great empire, there had to be. The Black Rose were the group that kept the records of history, and they only let leaders view them on a "need-to-know" basis. She set up a meeting with Leblanc, to try and convince her to view the vast history of their empire/nation. Leblanc was very inattentive, often not responding or outright ignoring Mariana's questions. Finally, she cut the meeting short, saying she had other matters that required her attention. Frustrated, Mariana started for home. Along her way, she was attacked by a number of assassins. She defeated them handily, but before she could interrogate them, they silenced themselves. Mariana carefully looked over their garb, and recognized them as guards that had been standing by in her meeting with Leblanc. She knew now that in Leblanc's mind, she was asking too many questions. What more was needed? This was proof that there was something more to her nation's ideals than just strength, and the Black Rose wanted to keep it from coming out. Mariana made it her course then and there; she would discover the true ideals that gave rise to her nation and restore them to their proper place.

Quotes

Selection
I bring the strength of truth!

Movement
I will not be denied.
Truth is what Noxus needs, not strength.
I'll open their eyes.
Blind devotion is not what we need.
Strength without sight is foolishness.
They can't hide it forever.
The Black Rose will wilt for their lies.

Attacking
Opposing me is opposing truth!
Care for a taste of steel?
There is more to us that just strength.
You cannot slay truth.
Do not provoke me.
A lash with steel, for you.
I will recover what we've lost!


Using Drill Thrust
Lunge! (1st Active)
Go! (Alternate 1st Active)
Rend! (2nd Active)
Cut and wound! (Alternate 2nd Active)


Using Inspire
A strike for truth!
Shock!
Burn!


Using Scathing Slash
Scathe!
Gash!
Break!


Using Final Cast
Now, the finish!
The Final cast!
Crush them!


Joke
Mariana lifts her weapon over her head, and starts spinning it around, like a helicopter blade. After a second or two, she starts floating higher and higher slowly, but her arms give out and she stops, dropping her weapon and falling back to the ground. She puts her hands on her hips as she tries to catch her breath. She then picks it up and assumes her normal position.
I could go higher if... my arms didn't give out. *Huff* *Puff*
I've gotten about 10 feet in the air doing this. But it's tiring!
I'm surprised Draven hasn't tried this with his axes.


Taunt
Mariana throws her weapon into the air and loosens herself up while it spins. After a moment or two, it comes back down and she catches it and takes a battle pose.
The truth is, you're going to lose.
Truth is a matter of perspective.
And your prospects aren't looking too good.

Taunt near an Enemy Leblanc
I'll make the Black Rose wilt for your deceptions.
Have you come to try and silence me in person?
I will find out the truth, whether you like it or not.


Dance
Mariana stabs her weapon into the ground, and starts doing various moves from "The Hustle" 70's dances.

Laugh
Mariana laughs.

Death
Mariana steps backwards a small distance while dropping her swallow/pole-arm on the ground. She then falls over onto her side and becomes motionless.
The truth... lives on...
It will come to light...
(Various groans of pain)
(Alternate groans of pain)
So here's the next Champion Concept, Mariana. Same Idea as before, too over-powered/under-powered, tell me and a reworked profile will arise. The reason her abilities show no damage ratios/damage amounts is because I thought about listing them, then trying to work them in with her passive was too confusing, so I left that part out. I've started thinking of ideas for my next champion concept, and hopefully it'll be up here before too long.
