Not a problem, I understand the best way to improve is feedback and communication.

Yes, I completely understand, and the new lore will hopefully be more in depth and less vague. I hope to implement the new lore in about a day or two. I began using the original "templates" that Riot tended to use for its champions well before they decided to revamp their lore system.

The original name for this custom champion was meant to be "Orvaneth", but it didn't seem to fit with his theme. I was going more for an unearthly spirit, a manifestation of pure energy on Valoran. I selected Raiju at the suggestion of a Japanese friend, who told me the word meant "thunder spirit"; apparently the 'vibe' he got from reading the initial draft was a thunder spirit with a more humanoid appearance than that of the traditional fox or wolf.
