PROJECT/General

Lore
""In order to become PROJECT you have to surrender your humanity. The technology takes over your soul.""

- Lisa 'Saiyaka' Thorn, Visual designer PROJECT: is the perfect fusion of one’s supernatural essence with advanced weaponry and body augmentation. This linking of technology and energy allows extraordinary hosts to channel their essence into physical manifestations and, in rare cases, transcend the corporeal plane. Only subjects possessing extremely focused inner essence and exceptional physical attributes can unlock the true power of PROJECT.

 * PROJECT Initiates
 * Master Yi PROJECT Trace 1.png Trace 1 -

 * Leona PROJECT Trace 2.png Trace 2 -
 * A heavy armor combatant, Leona has seen the truth behind the neon light of PROJECT, and now stands with Ashe and the G/NETIC rebellion. She carries a mounted ion charge shield, capable of blocking and stunning targets with its variable energy yield output.
 * Lucian PROJECT Trace 3.png Trace 3 -

 * Yasuo PROJECT Trace 4.png Trace 4 -

 * Zed PROJECT Trace 5.png Trace 5 -

 * Fiora PROJECT Trace 6.png Trace 6 -
 * Augmented for speed, Fiora uses her zero-pulse sword to fight alongside Ashe and the other members of G/NETIC.

 * Ashe PROJECT Trace 7.png Trace 7 -
 * While on the frontlines of a corporate war, Ashe witnessed the human cost of PROJECT’s ambition. Now the leader of the resistance group G/NETIC, Ashe has set her sights on nothing less than the downfall of the most powerful corporations.
 * Ekko PROJECT Trace 8.png Trace 8 -

 * Katarina PROJECT Trace 9.png Trace 9 -
 * Once an ambitious lieutenant in the G/NETIC rebellion, Katarina returned to the Command Line after a confrontation with Ashe herself. Her hyper edge daggers now serve PROJECT once more, but those rebels who knew her still hold out hope that she fights for them from the inside.
 * Jhin PROJECT Trace 10.png Trace 10 -
 * After a botched surgery, Jhin went from being a black-market augmented hacker to a notorious mechanized killer for hire. Still programmed with a taste for high-clearance upgrades, the tech Jhin takes from his victims has left him with a severe personality fragmentation, and a dark vision for the future of PROJECT… and humanity.
 * Vayne PROJECT Trace 11.png Trace 11 -
 * Augmented with classified tech, Vayne was once a member of PROJECT’s counter espionage unit. After she was betrayed by the corporation she served, she now stalks the shadows as a vigilante, searching for ways to break PROJECT and the technology that haunts her soul.
 * Vi PROJECT Trace 12.png Trace 12 -
 * Street-smart, brash and always bluntly honest, Vi is a Central detective working to keep law and order in the neon city. Toughened from her days as a lower sector enforcer, Vi keeps the peace with a pair of ATLAS gauntlets, and a mean right hook.
