Hawkwood, the Kineticist is a custom template champion in League of Legends.

Lore
To manipulate the laws of motion itself was a daunting task, but one that Zaun desperately wished to be fulfilled. They hired the twins Hawkwood and Redford to investigate the mystery, funding their magical inquiries throughout the process. Years passed, Redford clearly showing more and more laziness due to his brother's increasingly desperate attempts to solve the equation. Nearly ten years after the start of the research however, they succeeded. The twins tested their magic shortly, but a tragic accident killed Redford, seemingly because of Hawkwood's exhaustion. This accident traumatized Hawkwood to the point he took his brother's mannerisms and refused to investigate magic any longer. Now he wanders the earth whether he chooses, preferring isolation and sloth.

Comments
To make Hawkwood, I looked at both League and Dota, basing his design off Syndra and Lee Sin from the first and Earth Spirit from the second. I see his potential really shining in top lane where his range poke would be exceptionally useful, though his lack of tankiness in his kit pre-6 limits his power. He could be used in mid lane due to the safe harass, but suffers like every melee mid due to getting poked down. He has potential in the jungle due to his Mementos, but he has to set up his ganks beforehand to be effective. Support is possible, but underwhelming before level 6.
