User blog:The Lost Marbles/Seles, the Shooting Star

Seles, the Shooting Star is a custom champion designed for League of Legends. She's a young Ionian girl, not much older than Annie. Her basic attacking animation involves her firing energy bolts from her fingers, like those finger pistol things kids do, which is how she can be a markswoman.

- Ten Years Ago -

We, the Lumine Consortium, are a gathering of lesser celestial deities charged with overseeing the sanctity of worlds. We are, however, forbidden from interfering or making our presence known directly. Instead, we must send emissaries, children of our own creation, to these worlds to defend the peace in our stead.

One such world, Runeterra, has recently been host to a strange phenomenon they know as "the Void". We Lumines do not know the true nature of this Void or what it seeks, but we do understand that this problem must be dealt with posthaste. So we prepared a new celestial child, our envoy that would one day defend Runeterra from what could be a great and terrifying menace.

We sent our child, aboard a falling star down to the surface of Runeterra. The star appears to have landed in a nation known as Ionia, and the natives have recovered her safely. She now rests soundly in one of the nation's ceremonial temples, the people abuzz with news of this strange and fascinating occurrence.

They have opted to name her Seles, and so we shall as well.

- Growing Up -

Seles seems to have grown up to be quite the wild child, as the humans might say. She is full of energy, always using her Lumine-born powers to wreak all manner of playful mischief. The citizenry of Ionia seems to take it all in stride, however, having recognized this child as a gift from the heavens. A recognition not too far off from the truth, ironically.

Seles has honed her powers magnificently. During her training sessions, we would subliminally aid her in harnessing her abilities, while allowing her some freedom in how she expresses them. She has taken a liking to creating energy sparks, including firing them from her fingertips like those "guns" that some of the humans we've seen have used.

We shall continue to monitor Seles's development, as well as the growing threat that is the Void.

- The Present Day and the League of Legends -

It has come to our attention that many of the Void's more notorious spawns have found their way, coerced or otherwise, into a sort of political-gladiatorial ring known as the League of Legends. Seles has heard much about the League already from the Ionians and harbored a secret desire to participate for herself.

Knowing that Seles must be allowed to participate in the League, to hone her abilities against those born of the Void, we devised a plan to coerce the Ionians into letting her enter without revealing ourselves directly. One of our own took temporary possession of young Seles to relay a message, a message from the heavens above that brought the girl to them.

"There is great danger coming to your world of Runeterra. It is for this reason that it is crucial for Seles to participate in the League of Legends. Her skills must be honed further, lest your world be lost. Do not fret for her safety, for we will be watching over her."

In awe at the proclamation before them, Seles's caretakers have decided to allow her to enter the League. As well it should be, for the Void grows stronger with each passing day.

We of the Lumine Consortium have not yet failed to save a world despite our heavy restrictions. Runeterra will not be the first to fall under our watch. This, we swear.
