I've noticed a few people have have managed to create alter-egos in the Factions lore. I was wondering how it happened.

I did one. It's REALLY heavily based off a character in a book series I've been re-reading. Meh.

Also sorry shadow, but my guy isn't terribly fond of nobility in general, so he may not do for what you're looking for.

DEMACIA!
Agnes DuVinter is a happy, confident, Royal Heir. Deeply steeped in the the propaganda and beliefs of Demacia. He was sent to the Summoner Academy when he showed a talent for summoning, and believes he may best represent his country in this manner. Was asked to summon a few of the Shadow Isle champions as part of his work with Piltover, and was disturbed to learn he has a great deal of synchronization with Evelynn and Hecarim....

Is slightly below average at summoning, and pretty good at divination (Light style) magics. Also has some Light magic ala Lux, but hasn't fully mastered this variety yet.
(Unknown to him he is also extremely good at the HateSpike magic Evelynn uses, but he'd have to learn it somehow first.)


Skills: Very good diplomacy (And related), very limited fighting ability (without using magic), very limited military command ability, good leadership skills, very limited streetwise style skills. Average (Plus or minus a little) magic of summoning, light and divination styles.

Which is an absolute shame because you're so far the only Shuriman Summoner that's actually from Shurima. :P

It's fine, no worries. I'll figure something out, as one does.

If you were really desperate, Azir could always gain my summoner's admiration by teaching him some totally sweet tactic, and treat my summoner's men with respect, but I'm not sure how "Azir" treating common soldiers with respect is.


BTW, Bonus points to anyone who recognizes where my summoner's inspiration comes from.

My character's basically a self-insert but with a portrait of what I wish I looked like. I could never understand how people make Original Characters that are so different from themselves, but to each their own.

Well, I'm also currently considering geomancer's character, who is not Shuriman but would fit the tone I'm looking for rather well. On the other hand, a Summoner who is not particularly impressed by Azir might be interesting.

I'll have to compare and contrast and see which one makes for a better story.

Also, my book-learnt friend tells me it's a homage to a certain Mr. Cauthon. ;)

I've had character creation practice since junior year of high school, so I have run out of old characters that I love to model things off of. Kelt came because I wanted to make a BtB post featuring Karthus and needed him to have a foil. So, I made a silly Yordle who was all too comfortable hanging around the big Lich daddy. I kind of liked the little guy, so I kept him.

I tend to do one of two things - idealized self insert, which I then realize is complete and utter trash writing, and then replace that with a character based around either the scenario, or based around an interesting set of flaws, or a little from both columns.

I just tend to make a douchebag asshole with lots of little flaws. Which is a self-insert of me! Ha, ha ha!

I'm not crying, the liquid running down my face is sweat.

Hey, lots of little flaws can be overcome. It's a whole lot better than having one massive flaw that almost defines your personality to the point where fixing yourself would require completely changing who you are...

The more I consider her situation, the more sad I am for her. I really fucked that friendship up too. And trying to repair it will only cause more harm at this point.
Regrets are a hell of a thing, guys. If some little part of you decides to burn a bridge with someone you do actually care for, just torch it and leave, don't sit there and systematically nuke it from orbit over and over again and if part of you says you should really stop and act like a human...

Look, just... be decent to people, even if you think... Just be decent to people.

Also like half of the characters are corrupted by the Void or Shadow Isles.

You people have too much DarkNCreepy... like to the point that's the sterotypical summoner.
