I need to address the fact that these characters were all existing before I even knew LoL, when I was a weeaboo bud. I created most of these characters around 10 years ago (I'm 24, which gave a lot of room in character creation), though so far some characters are extremely poorly defined. I even had to revive a total of four characters and take one from the abysses of forgottennness so that all teams could be groups of 5. To fit them into good LoL teams. Up to then though, I think the concepts are pretty tame so far, with few having defining mechanics aside from Essence champions (and even the five use that one mechanic). I'll be posting one of these champs when lore will be adapted to LoL: all these guys' names are Japanese, but they can't all be Ionian, and 65 persons coming from another world all being champions at the same time would make a need for a greater storyline. And not one that involves the whole of them as one entity. Imagine an "SMNK Riot" with all these guys suddenly summoning themselves (or being summoned) in the middle of a Field of Justice and beating on both teams present at the time, and the current universe of LoL would pit its entirely against the intruders. I don't want that. So far I'm thinking about pitting each faction in one camp (example: the Pitch-Black siding with the Void [both are invaders looking to consume the world so their purpose is common], ) and renaming everyone accordingly. Though, the Akagun being an international organization and the Errants centering all around one madman, plus the links between everyone (read: Tsubasa [for now] is the 6500-year ancestor to all other four Essence wielders who are all brothers but Ryouka who is a cousin to the three others). So, before any custom champion from there makes it to reality, I'll have some work to do.
