User blog:Emptylord/Champion reworks/Sion the Nearly-Headless Axeman

So I'm literally cutting Sion in half. I initially wanted left-half and right-half, but I opted for top half and bottom half. I may change my mind, and I don't have much to say (yet) - so feel free to chime in.

Sion, the Headless Axeman=

This champion is headless. I cannot decide if I want him to carry his head with him, or whether he would just entirely lack a head. In the very brief time I thought about this literal division, the two Sion's were related. While I know people dislike lore-changes, I basically imagined a witch/necromancer type champion and John Doe who donated his head for science... so to speak... and not by choice.

Sion would keep Sion's hench, axe-wielding appearance, but his "speech" would be neck-gargling and hand movements to make a mime proud. His theme would bee feel-no-pain; a sustain-based melee carry.

When I envisioned this champion, I initially imagined a more skeletal appearance. However, with China's taboo over imagery of the dead - I opted for a fleshy alternative. A soulstealer... a flesheater... a face absorber... a humanoid amalgamation of faces and body parts. Sion was one of the "tergumancer's" victims (latin word for skin/hide + mancer).

The head-half of Sion would keep Sion's distinctive voice, although it might be more appropriate to have many different voices (sometimes speaking in chorus/as one; sometimes having a conversation with itself; and sometimes one speaking alone). This would allow expanding Sion's transcript without getting a hold of his old voice actor (if that's even a problem). This Sion would be the burst-mage half of Sion, with a "Death's Caress" theme. The amalgamation of faces would also suit the health-gain theme.

Kits to come. I just excited myself over the idea of literally splitting a champion in two. ^_^
