please use they/them pronouns for Nyx! i imagined them as nonbinary and would like to have that respected! if they were a real champion would i expect the community to respect their pronouns? absolutely not, i'm not that naive, but i would like to Hope that people on here would respect my decision!
crappy bio
A Demacian mage whose family fled to Noxus when they found out Nyx was a mage in order to keep them safe. They (Nyx) found Vladimir/The Crimson Circle and learned about hemomancy, but decided "This is gross, I'm going to make it into something less gorey.". Instead of stealing and controlling blood, they found a way to to so with the essence in living creatures. They store everything about their practice in their book + imbued a large amount of essence in it. They always keep the book with them. Eventually Nyx realises they're kind of a dick for stealing essence from everything living (aka Killing Things) and keeping it for themself, and at this point they've drained the life of like. 200+ humans and who knows how many other life forms. So, they start going to hospitals and similar places and give life essence they've collected to people in order to heal them.
Kit :
Class is Enchanter/Battlemage?
no fancy names for any of these i used all of my brainpower making Rollick
Passive is collecting magic/life essence from champions/monsters/big minions. The passive shows up on targets like how dark harvest used to. You collect it by damaging the targets. This replaces the mana bar, building mana gives more "storage space" for essence.
Q - Constant "pouring" heal based on essence, it lasts until you either stop it, you get too far away from your target, your essence runs out or you get heavy cc’d. Cannot auto-attack while healing. You can heal yourself with it, but it's not as strong as it heals allies. Animation for this would have Nyx holding the book up above their head and tilting it down towards their ally/themself and have the essence "pour" onto the target being healed. They can do this from a range that is slightly bigger than their auto-attack range.
W - They throw out essence in a selected area that slows + grounds + damages over time anything that walks on it. If allies walk over it, they gain move speed and a steroid as long as they're on the area. The essence can be picked up again but gives back less essence the longer it’s out. Essence "evaporates" completely after some time. The effects of the essence also get weaker the longer it's out.
They throw out one of the minecraft splash potions- i mean essence filled bottles attached to their belt.
E – They fire a short, wide beam of essence in bursts up to 3 times, each consecutive burst does less damage. They can move while casting this but will stop when it fires. These bursts function similar to how Jhin/Caitlyn's traps charge and are used.
They hold their book open facing outwards in a "kemahameha" pose when they use this.
R - Something akin to Fiora’s "Riposte" (and kind of Sylas’ ult) but the reflecting part of it can be aimed and will show the animation of what was reflected being thrown back. Example: if you use this to defend from an Ashe ultimate, it will "eat" the arrow to give you barely enough time to decide what to do with it, then will shoot the arrow back out in whichever direction you choose.
They hold their book over their face in a cowering pose, if something is absorbed by their ult they close the book for barely a second and fire whatever hit it back out.
Animation ideas :
auto-attack animation would have them doing a hand motion like this
sta.sh/01jh9t6r6bhn
crit auto-attack animation would be the same concept as regular but more aggressive
auto-attack animation when the target is within melee range is like the FFXIV Summoner melee animation
sta.sh/014y1vbp6smw
crit auto-attack melee animation is Nyx taking their book with both hands and whapping the target
sta.sh/0mffmflun99
joke animation is them writing in their book. joke voice lines would be them narrating a diary entry, a grocery list, a to-do list, etc.
taunt animation is them doing this and saying smth stupid. probably anime stuff
sta.sh/01ymdziy2ibx
- a taunt for Kayn would be them mocking his "I can see twelve ways to kill you. Ah! Correction! Thirteen. It's thirteen." joke
- taunt for Xayah/Rakan would have them asking for a spare feather for them to use as a quill
dance animation would be this part of the j'en ai marre dance
sta.sh/014kszq5pj6w
Idle animations and most other animations would have them write in/edit/read their book.
the feather part of their earring is unscrewable and can be used as a quill. they detach it and use it to write during animations. the feather is from a demacian raptor.
They would have a French accent and a masculine voice. Something like this . it's entirely in french but its the only thing i could find with what i imagine their voice would be like
Would have a voice line for getting hit by Xayah's feathers like "Are you gonna want this back or can i keep it?"
Getting hit by champion with a sword: "It sword of seems like you have a problem with me"
Getting hit by fire or water based attack: "HEY, MY BOOK! D:<"
Dying: "That's unfortunate..."
Respawn: "It could be worse.". "This is not how I pictured my day going when I woke up this morning, but who am I to complain.".
After killing someone with their ult: "I used to confront people in conversation, these days I tend to deflect.". line stolen directly from genji in HOTS.
Definitely would have voice lines related to Yuumi and Ryze i just can't think of anything
miscellaneous :
they are 6'4" without their heels
darius simp
they are this tiktok personified vm.tiktok.com/ZSGVTayx/
SKIN IDEAS i almost forgot :
Pool Party Nyx w/ a tanning mirror as their book. they would wear flip-flop pumps and wear an open beach robe with hawaiian print swim trunks and a bikini top
Battle Academia Nyx
Spelltheif Nyx where in the splash art they're on the other side of the bookcase spelltheif lux is on and reaching for the same book
Fanfiction Author Nyx for april fools w/ a laptop as their book, their hair in a bun possibly.
"Battle Royalty" instead of "Battle Queen" legendary, their joke is them trying to balance their huge book on their head and they're wearing something like this but shorter in the front so they can actually walk i.pinimg.com/originals/fe/54/1…
their hair would be white and styled into belle's hair from disney's animated beauty and the beast. they'd have a yellow chroma resembling belle's ball dress and a blue chroma resembling belle's peasant dress
