Development

When Aurelion Sol dies, he dissipates into a dragon-like constellation. This may indicate that Celestial Dragons, such as himself and Inviolus Vox, are formed as constellations, as are normal celestials.
- As matter imitates the shape of greater energies, similar to how a logarithmic spiral is found in a nautilus shell and a galaxy, terrestrial dragons are shaped after their celestial counterparts, even though they have no bloodline connection.
According to a Q&A with Riot about Aurelion Sol, it is mentioned that during his story's development they had an idea that some of the 'celestial beings' that Aurelion mentions were actually his sisters, whom control other aspects of space such as Gravity or Dark Matter. Whether or not this is still canon is unknown.^{[citation needed]}
Narrative Writer Jared Rosen rates him as the most knowledgeable known being in the universe, tied with Swain and ahead of Zoe.^[4]

Aurelion Sol is one of 15 champions that have an ability that infinitely stacks an effect: Aurelion Sol, Bard, Bel'Veth, Cho'Gath, Draven, Kindred, Nasus, Senna, Shyvana, Sion, Smolder, Swain, Sylas, Thresh, and Veigar.
In Aurelion Sol's case, Stardust stacks gained through Cosmic Creator permanently increases Breath of Light's bonus magic damage, Astral Flight's range, Singularity's outer and inner radius and execution threshold and Falling Star and The Skies Descend's effect radius.
The Skies Descend was named after his champion spell of the same 15 name in Legends of Runeterra.
In 'Aurelion Sol: The Star Forger Returns' his hand gesture resembles the old Riot Games Inc. fist intro.
A lot of his animations and visual effects were inspired by celestial objects and atoms.
Aurelion Sol's lower body is not part of his in-game hitbox, which is why it is semi-transparent.
- A demonstration can be seen here.
Prior to his CGU, in Ultra Rapid Fire his Center of the Universe passive used to have 6 stars orbiting around him with increased speed, simply by leveling up.
- Interestingly, this is the only non-stat modification made to any champion in URF, suggesting this may have originally been an intended feature which was scrapped from the champion before release.
The name of the concept character from which Aurelion Sol spurred from, Ao Shin, could be a reference to Ao Qin, the Dragon King of the South Sea.
