User blog:Sing, Aurra/Riley, The Urchin Of Noxus

Riley, The Urchin Of Noxus is a concept champion whose primary role is carrying his team in the late game. In the early game, Riley can support his team by jungling and ganking.

Concept
Hello everyone! I don't quite know how to format this, so I just copied another champion's source and wrote over that, which I hope is okay to do.

Riley is a favorite of mine. He's not just a champion; he's a character I've written and thought about for a long time. It's just I've decided to move him in to the League realm and implement him as a champion, but I do love to write champion concepts; it fuels my creativity. So, I hope you love him as much as I do!

For appearance, Riley is part Ionian and another part Noxian. Basically, what I am saying is that he is a mix between Asian & Caucasian. He's only sixteen, but he's short and lithe looking, and he wears a catsuit with steel-tipped claws and bolas wrapped around his hips. His martial arts style is very customized, being a blend of different martial arts that can be found in Runeterra. As such, Riley fights in a very fluid and flexible way. Of course, all this information is needless; it's just to help you understand the character and maybe help you visualize him in-game.

And yes, Riley's ultimate, Coup De Grâce, is based on DOTA2's Phantom Assassin. I hope that is okay.

Lore
Only the strong survive. That is the creed by which all Noxians live.

Kaiden Feng was an orphan living on the streets of Noxus; his parents had been killed by loansharks. Like many street urchins, Kaiden became a gangster, but unlike the other children, he strived to become a leader. He rose through the ranks of his gang, and eventually took it over. But it wasn't enough, not for Kaiden at least. Through aggressive tactics, Kaiden was able to assimilate most of the gangs in Noxus under his control, making him one of the most influential men in this wretched city. The Noxian council dared not to stand in Kaiden's warpath in fear of being targeted, so they allowed Kaiden to grow. Before long, Kaiden's influence moved to other cities, with gangs in Demacia and Piltover owning loyalty to the urchin king. As the years passed on, Kaiden settled down, allowing his generals to run his business.

Growing older, Kaiden sought an heir, and so, with one of his courtesans, he had a son, whom he named Riley. Kaiden tought his son the works, but at the same time, Kaiden was also caring, a sight which his followers found unsettling. With his father and mother, Riley lived a privileged life, but like all good things, it came to an end. The king, Kaiden Feng, disappeared without a trace, leaving his gang in a state of chaos. The streets of Noxus bled red.

Riley and his mother were important objectives to control; they could be used to sway those still loyal to Kaiden, but others wanted them dead to end Kaiden's influence once and for all. One of Kaiden's generals, one of his most loyal men, sent assassins to the Feng household, where they brutally murdered his wife. They, however, were not able to find Riley, who had been watching the event unfold hidden in a closet.

The prince lived on the streets of Noxus, where he met a variety of colorful people, who tought him important skills to living. Riley learned to fight; he trained with Ionian martial artists, street boxers, old soldiers, and gangsters still loyal to the Fengs, but this was not to help Riley regain control. No, this was to help Riley get revenge on the men who murdered his mother. Otherwise, this would have been a retelling of Kaiden Feng's tale.

Riley discovered that the assassins responsible were now living as Noxian royal guards. He did unto them what they had done to his mother, but one was missing. The man who laid the killing blow to his mother was no longer in Noxus, but it didn't matter now; Riley had been caught by the Noxian police, and brought to the royal court, where he would surely be executed. General Du Couteau thought otherwise. The general convinced the court to lend Riley to him, as a ward, where he would be taught to serve Noxus as an assassin, just as his eldest daughter did. And so Riley came under General Du Couteau's control, where he served him loyally.

Years later, General Du Couteau would disappear while on an entourage to the Ivory Ward, the oldest historic site in Noxus. With his master gone, Riley has returned to his original intent: killing the man responsible for his mother's death, but he can not possibly find him on his own. Now Riley joins the League of Legends, under the façade that he is serving Noxus, so that he may use the institute to find the last assassin, and perhaps, even find his father.
