Boreas

The Cold North Wind

Boreas is an Anemoi, and ancient name the old greeks called their spirits of the winds. Ill tempered, most times at least, he was considered ruthless, cruel and insensitive, freezing crops and humans alike. Altough not a creature of death, no long it was until the greeks linked the old Anemoi to Hades business.
However, the Athenians may have seen Boreas in a different way. They considered him an divine relative, for he had kidnapped and married a princess of theirs, the beautiful Orithyia of Ilisos. They even had a tale of how he protected them for the persians by sinking hundreds of their ships. Weird and conflitant as those stories may be, Boreas sure has showned signs of strenght and guile, if not divine power, to say the truth.
Now, the winged north wind descends on the war of gods. Why would he join the fray is unknow, but he is not to be taken lightly. Now, even the gods from the coldest reaches of Avalon would feel the harsh northern wind in their skins.

Ultimate Abilities

Polar Storm
Ability type: AOE

Boreas conjures a massive snow storm in front of him, the winds damaging enemies every 0.5 second for 5 seconds and applying a stacking debuff on them. The debuff lasts 1 second and slows them and, if stacked 4 times, freezes the target solid for 2 seconds, crippling, rooting and stunning them. If an enemy would die while frozen, their icy remains will stay on the battlefield as a deployable, blocking enemy projectiles, basic attacks and movement. The remains last for 15 seconds or if hit with 3 basic attacks from any source. Boreas can cancel this ability early, but will cleanse the slow on his enemies doing so.

Damage: 80/120/150/175/200 per 0.5 seconds for 5 seconds (+30% of your magical power)
Debuff: 5% per stack + 1/2/3/5/6% slow per rank

My toughts on Boreas

I tought him as a utility mage, not a freaking nuclear bomb like Kukulkan or Persephone. So he has a bunch of CC, but can be punished if goes alone to deep into enemy territory. A god made for ganks and ambushes, or blocking enemy from taking objectives, Boreas, in my opinion, would be great in duo lane, aside with a god with good clearing and movement.
As for design, an old man, with grey and white beard and long hair, in long blue and silver robes, that would whoosh and float around him as he moves. He floats as well, of course. He is shown with wings in greek mythology, but I tought them concealed in his robes, only shown when casting his ultimate.
