Soul Fighter (Universe)

Soul Fighter is a series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. Set in the Kingdom of the Shattered Beast, champions who have awoken their soul powers are invited to compete in the Tournament of Souls.

From across the globe, those with awakened souls are granted invitation to fight in... the Tournament of Souls! It sits as king above all entertainment, a televised spectacle with no equal! Fighters face off in 1v1 battles in the ring, until only one remains to receive their prize: the deepest desire of their soul! And I'll be herej, announcing it all!

Lore[]

Their souls awaken by trial: one fought on a battlefield or in the very trenches of the mind. Each is granted unique abilities reflective of their nature and the power to conjure forth the very essence of their spirit. Some hone their strength, temper it with training... Others will use it only as a weapon to destroy. They are... SOUL FIGHTERS!

Soul Fighters

Soul Fighter Draven
The Tournament of Soul's golden boy, with his over-the-top fights only surpassed by the over-the-top personality; It's no wonder he’s been the fan favorite to win it all since early on in the competition. He loooves the attention, so make some noise for the Hysterical Hyena, the GLORIOUS EXECUTIONER HIMSELF: DRAAAVEN!!!
- Soul Fighter Draven (Special Edition)
  AAAND THERE'S OUR GOLDEN BOY!!! Draven is IN HIS ELEMENT! THIS IS THE FIGHT HE'S BEEN HUNGRY FOR FOLKS―NOW LET'S WATCH HIM FEAST ON HIS COMPETITION!
Soul Fighter Evelynn
Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Obsidian, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
Most awaken their souls through hard work, but this fighter... no! All it took was a stop by the Department for the Eradication of Manifested Anomalies and boom! Cobra powers. SURE, apparently the procedure involves the "worst pain one can possibly imagine." But look at her now! Here to hunt down a daughter with nowhere left to run... it's Evelynn!
- 4Soul Fighter Evelynn (4Level 2)
  One of DEMA's top agents, Evelynn has spent a career fighting awakened deviants. A willing volunteer for DEMA's experiments on artificial soul power, Evelynn's abilities were not awakened, but engineered--though no less deadly for it.
  "Be a darling, and show me your soul."
Soul Fighter Gwen
Chromas: Amethyst, Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Sapphire, Turquoise
She went to the ends of the world... and beyond... to save her friend! And according to the bracket that I'm looking at with my very eyes, she's going to have to fight him to win this tournament! OOF! I swear, this isn't scripted folks. It's LIVE TV! A girl with friendship in her heart and magical scissors that raise the dead in her hands: Gwen!
- 4Soul Fighter Gwen (4Level 2, 2 Gwen's Thread the Needle, Snip Snip!, Snip Snip Snip!)
  "I know I said we were done shopping, but look! It might not be indestructible, but regular thread still has its uses!"
  Gwen and her soul thread once brought Pyke back from the Lands Beyond. Now, Gwen is forced to face her dearest friend in the arena, conflicted but determined to prevail nonetheless.
  "Steady hands... and just like that!" - Soul Fighter Gwen
  "Don't worry--it's just a simple hem!" - Soul Fighter Gwen
  "Don't worry--it's just a simple hem!" - Soul Fighter Gwen
Soul Fighter Irelia
Some say it costs an arm and a leg to get anywhere in this world, and this fighter knows a little something about that: She's graceful, she's deadly, she won the Tournament of Souls by cutting off her opponent's arm, give it up for the Dancing Blade herself, IRELIAAA!
Soul Fighter Jhin
Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Limitless, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
Don't ask him how, but this twisted mentor can unlock ANY person's soul power under the right conditions! Just be prepared, because his trials are deadly! He's ready to put his art on full display on the world's biggest stage and maybe even get some revenge on a bounty hunter along the way! Let's give it up for… Jhin!
- 4Soul Fighter Jhin (4Level 2, 4 Jhin's Dancing Grenade, 0 Second Bounce, Lotus Trap, Deadly Flourish, Curtain Call)
  Jhin has prepared a performance unlike any other for the Tournament of Souls: a daring, inspired, and supremely violent composition.
  After all, this is his biggest stage yet--the whole world is watching.
  "Everything in its place..." - Soul Fighter Jhin
  "...and a smile on every face. Smile!" - Soul Fighter Jhin
  "Right. On. Cue!" - Soul Fighter Jhin
  "Through violence, we reach new horizons." - Soul Fighter Jhin
  "The soul of every performance is in its finale!" - Soul Fighter Jhin
Soul Fighter Kalista
SUMMONED from the Lands Beyond by the ever-treacherous DEMA! Word on the street says she's got the ability to steal your SOUL, or at least your soul powers… Does DEMA finally have the secret weapon they need to rid the world of soul users? Or is their new "trump card" more of a wild card than they thought? WELCOME KALISTA!
Soul Fighter Lux
Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Turquoise
On the run from her family, and she figured the best place to hide would be ON TV?! Seriously though, folks, this lady has some trauma... and we all know the ring is *the* place to work that out! Now, if I was a betting man—and I am—I'd say she'd use that soul's desire to make her drama disappear. It's Lux!
Soul Fighter Naafiri
Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Jasper, Limitless, Obsidian, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
Failed experiment! DEMA DOG! The Four-legged Fighter! This... creature... has almost as many titles as it does separate entities it can summon! Does it want revenge on its former masters? To take over the world? I don't know! I'm no dog mind reader! It's.... Naafiri!
Soul Fighter Nidalee
- 4Soul Fighter Nidalee (4Packmother Nidalee, 1 Nidalee's Prowl, 2 Nidalee's Ambush, 2 Packmother Nidalee's Ambush, 0 Javelin Toss)
  Nidalee is an agile and fierce fan favorite in this year's Tournament of Souls. Her soul power is particularly unusual, allowing her to transform entirely into a fearsome feline.
  "In every form, I am true to myself. You are the false one!"
  "You are all talk, and no claws." - Soul Fighter Nidalee
  Make them pay.
  Make them pay.
  "I am my mother's wrath." - Soul Fighter Nidalee
Soul Fighter Nilah
The last time we saw this champion, she was teaming up with other soul fighters to take dow the Thousand-Eyed God―and rumor has it she KEPT one of the God's eyes! Put your hands together for the mysterious God Slayer, possessor of the absolute best smile we've eve seen, the Boundless Joy herself: Niiilah!!!
Soul Fighter Pyke
Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Tanzanite, Turquoise
This un-alived assailer has unfinished business: duking it out in the ring! Now, I can't say if returning from the dead proves the existence of the "Lands Beyond." (I don't get paid enough to PONDER MY EXISTENCE!) But if rumors are true, and this fighter's friend brought him back from the brink... then we're in for a HELL of a fight! Here's Pyke!
- Prestige Soul Fighter Pyke
  Pyke's fashion-forward fit impresses not only the rich and famous at the Gala of Souls, but all those watching at home—and his fans from the Lands Beyond. The edgy aesthetics and glossy flame motifs all but guarantee him a spot on the list of any discerning judge. After all, if Pyke's not on your list, you'll end up on his...
- 5Soul Fighter Pyke (5Level 2, 2 Pyke's Bone Skewer, 5 Death From Below)
  "You ever stray so far that part of you didn't come back?"
  Pyke was resurrected by his dear friend Gwen as a soul-stitched revenant. Now facing her in the arena, he's determined to prove to her--and the world--that he's just as alive as he used to be.
  "Saw a list of names, in the Lands Beyond... yours right at the top." - Soul Fighter Pyke
  "We all pay our respects to the Lands Beyond... eventually." - Soul Fighter Pyke
Soul Fighter Samira
A renowned bounty hunter who can't sit still cause she's ALWAYS on the hunt for her next thrill! This weapons master can use every dangerous tool in (and out!) of her arsenal to fight with STYLE in the Tournament of Souls! Our gracious host better sleep with one eye open, because rumor has it this queen wants to collect his crown! Make way for… SAMIRA!
- 2Soul Fighter Samira (2Level 2, 1 Samira's All Out, 1 Flair, 1 Flair)
  A stylish daredevil and thrill-seeking bounty hunter, Samira's abundant soul power has caught the interest of the God's Eye--but Samira has plans of her own. She is chasing her biggest mark yet: Viego.
  "Power? I don't need your power. One eye's all I need to style on your little henchman. Ha!"
  "Strength without style is just boring, bozo!" - Soul Fighter Samira
  "Another volunteer for my highlight reel. Bring it on, scrub!" - Samira
  "Another volunteer for my highlight reel. Bring it on, scrub!" - Samira
Soul Fighter Sett
Chromas: Amethyst, Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Meteorite, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Turquoise
This fighter is here to prove that fists CAN be the answer to everything! That is, assuming the question of everything is "how does one person win the most local tourneys in recorded history?" And he's not just doing it to look good—though that is a nice bonus—he's rising up the ranks to soul fightin' legend to make his momma proud. It's Sssssett!
- 5Soul Fighter Sett (5Level 2, 4 Sett's Facebreaker, 0 Show Stopper)
  "I know you said breakin' faces was never gonna get me anywhere... but look at me now, Ma!"
  Viego's media empire might be a bit bigger than Sett's hometown rumble ring, but some things are exactly the same. A pit is a pit, and cracking skulls always means clinking coins--especially when soul power is involved.
  "You play by the boss man's rules, or y'get your face caved in. I'm the boss man, n'case that wasn't clear." - Soul Fighter Sett
  "They say a good beatin' makes you smarter. This one's a soul-powered special--on the house!" - Soul Fighter Sett
Soul Fighter Shaco
Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Limitless, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise
I know very little about this fighter... and I've been told by our host to say EVEN LESS! (They've GOT to be friends... or mortal enemies?) His desires are hidden—just like his face—and his style in the ring remains to be seen! We just LOVE a mysterious and not-at-all creepy combatant, don't we, folks? Here he is... Shaaaaaaaacoooooo!
- Prestige Soul Fighter Shaco
  Shaco is never predictable; his unique (and often terrifying) looks make him a hit with judges year after year. Now adorned in gold and ivory lace, Shaco claims to be making a statement about fast fashion and the constraints it puts on designers and models. Or maybe he just wants an excuse to show off his soul-power arms.
Soul Fighter Viego
Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Limitless, Meteorite, Ruby, Sapphire
The gracious—if needlessly reclusive—host of the Tournament of Souls welcomes all to his arena! Look at him now, eyeing the competition from his throne room high above the ring! Doesn't his solitude just make ya sad, folks? Here's hoping he hops down from that tower and turns that sorrow into UNBRIDLED RAGE! Viiiiieeeeeeegoooooo!
- 6Soul Fighter Viego (6Level 2, 4 Viego's Despair)
  A spectacle of soul fighting on the surface, Viego's tournament harbors a darker purpose: to harness soul power for the God's Eye. Viego believes freeing the God's Eye manifested on his body will resurrect his wife, but making a deal with a god comes with its drawbacks...
  "The Lands Beyond are no barrier to my love. Whatever is needed to return Isolde to me--she shall have it! She shall have every awakened soul, if that's what it takes!"
  "Tell me, Isolde! What more must I give?" - Soul Fighter Viego
Soul Fighter Xin Zhao
A spear-wielding master, this self-hating heartthrob spent YEARS working for DEMA. That's right, those guys who think soul powers are BAD! Hilarious, amirite? Well, despite his checkered past, he's found himself with a lot of time to think about what he's done and feel bad about it. Welcome the Seneschal of DEMA: Xin Zhao!!!
- Prestige Soul Fighter Xin Zhao
  This time, Xin Zhao has come with a truly unique and eye-catching outfit! The unique design is at the forefront of fashion and filled with individuality, making it unforgettable. The elegant and exquisite details and accessories amplify his exceptional taste. His every action exudes confidence and strength, ensuring that he is the limelight of any situation. His existence in itself cannot be ignored and his charm is unforgettable.
Soul Fighter Yasuo
A late entry into the Tournament, we made a special rules exemption allowing him to tag in for his big bro because, WOW, DOES HE KNOW HOW TO MAKE AN ENTRANCE! With a bone to pick with just about everyone and a face longer than the concessions line: He's deadly, he's broody, and he's got a shot at having whatever he desires—the unforgettable Yasuooo.
