Strifer by xmysterionz

---

Strifer was design to be a Ability based assassin but a sticky one, so he end up being kinda a hybrid between basic and ability focused. His kit brings to jungler role the idea of being sticky god but with ability based focus, not only basics as we already seen. His visual is dark, with especial flames and skeleton body, with a strong voice inspiring fear on anyone who listen to. He is a bit mysterious, the kind "I don't ask, I do myself". Wears (the rest of his) armor and owns the "Corrupted blade", his sword.



Theme – Dammed Knight.
Visuals – Corrupted armor, Skeleton, Special fire around the body.
Personality – Cold, Dark, Full of hate and vengeance.
Perspective – Pessimist, hate everywhere, very cold.




Strifer inspires fear and death, being very cold to all situations (no empathy). He doesn't have the front of his helmet, showing the rest of his face, mostly bones. He has a hole in the belly due to his lore and an old broken armor. Not only that, but he is constantly on fire, but a color-different fire so everyone can recognize he is not a "good thing". His weapon is a specific cursed sword he got after the events of his lore, which is medium size and also has a bit of this weird fire covering him

His voice is similar to Sylvanus Stranger Things skin, really deep, strong and inspire fear in every phrase:

Strifer was made to be an ability based god with maybe some AAs relevance and a sticky god, which means someone that sticks to you and if you try to run away you are punished. With a unique ultimate he can totally hit a target and take it out of combat for up to 10s. There he can force the target to fight him, in a place where he has the advantage and there's nowhere to run or hide. He also has another unique characteristic, just like Osiris, he can remove the soul from the target, but he keep it on place and by damagin the soul, the god also receive part of this damage.


How the passive works?


Probably the simplest of all abilities, this skill does what it suggests, applying every 2 seconds a 2 seconds slow as long as the target stays within 20 unities around him and this slow increase as Strifer increase his level up to 20% at level 20. This would help him keep his targets close to him to continuously hit them.


How the FIRE BLAST works?


Another simple ability. He basically fires a blast of fire forward (like Agni's 2) and it burns over the time (6 ticks). Main source of damage and main clear wave/camp


How the GIVE ME YOUR SOULS works?


Works in the same way of Dart, a dash that passes through minions and stop on the first enemy god hit, dealing damage in both cases. Upon hitting a god, Strifer would quickly hit his chest with his left hand, splitting the soul from the body (like Osiris ulti), but the soul stays in the same place that the body was hit, and it would be connected to the body through a chain if the player moves. Strifer and his team can hit the soul to still inflict damage on the target (but only 50%), so if he hits 1000 damasge, 500 goes to the target (after mitigations). So if the targets run away from him, he is able to hit it anyway. If the target receives 25% of his maximum health or more as damage (after the mitigation), the skill will end earlier, if not, the soul will be placed there for 4 secs.


How the RING OF FIRE works?


It creates a circle around Strifer, and it duplicates the amount of slow from his passive, increasing the range to 35, if Strifer is level 10, in 35 unites he will apply 30% slow. Targets inside will only take the slow, if they jump, dash, teleport or simply walk out they will take damage and his protections will be reduced in 15%.


How TO HELL 'N' BACK works?


The most exciting ability on his kit. Here he throws his sword forward. Upon reaching a target, he will stunned for 0.8 and Strifer starts to charge his teleportation. If the target don't beads it, both, Strifer and the target will be teleported to the damned place (Strife is CC Immune during the whole process). The damned place is an arena with 100 unities area, with the original Strifer body in the top center and a giant warning write on blood in the walls "NO ONE ESCAPES ALIVE". Spike walls surround the arena that is dark and, mostly brown and has a dead forest around. In this arena, Strifer has more power and takes less damage. In the arena the target and Strifer can freely fight using all relics, abilities and item effects. When time runs out or someone is killed in this duel they come back to reality near the position they originally were teleported (similar to Heimdallr ulti but without the time indication). While in the arena, they leave a shadow where they were before the teleport.
If for any reason the stun is interrupted, nobody will be teleported

So as time passed, naturally the Order of the knights got new enemies and knowing the number of threats tends to only increase, they start to study ways to recruit new people to help them. Frank after long researches find out how the ring of power works, and he was able to replicate precisely the liquid in those rings, the liquid responsible for mixing in the blood and change the body giving all the abilities the knights have. Frank called it "Liquido Divino".

Of course, as every mad scientist, he was the first person to test it on himself. He, after a rouge application process, was able to survive but didn't notice anything. Many months later he was studying how his grand scheme failed near a cliff, getting some specific plants for a potion and Frank was attacked falling from 100 m and hitting the head on a stone. Surprisingly he didn't die nor even had a single harm. That moment he realized it have worked.

Well now that the Koto (Knights of the order) knows that everything is ready, the four legendary knights (Myst, Beeby, Yamer and Laran) went out searching for candidates to become knights. Strifer was a candidate brought by Yamer. The recruits were presented to a creed, a lot of rules they would have to follow all the time, basically saying "I'll be a good person and a good example to be followed by all people", which all accepted. Then many months passed training all abilities they needed: Stealth and Ranged weapons with Beeby, Melee weapons and combat with Laran and strategy and leadership with Yamer. After all these lessons, they were ready to receive the 125 via "liquido divino".

One per day, the recruits passed through the rouge "liquido divino" injection process, which a lot of them had complications and died. Only 5 survived and obtained the powers, Strifer was one of them. Then they all went to have the final lesson of their training, magical powers with Myst, and while teaching it, Myst noticed Strifer was becoming more and more selfish and an *******, but since Yamer do believe on the boy, he continued the training.

Finally, 3 months later, the 5 new knights were announced as official members of Koto. They were designated to cover and protect new areas, far from the kingdom main city where the king lives, but the only one causing problem was Strifer. Yeah, he sure protected the area, but not being "a good person and a good example to be followed by all people", so the 4 original knights even threaten disconnect him from the knights and Myst even said he would kill him if he becomes a "bad guy".

So Strifer calmed down a bit for a while. While just chilling and doing his things (right), he met a girl called Taty. She was tall, blond hair, beautiful and very naive. He fell in love immediately. They start to dating and get closer of each one. She was the reason he had forgotten everything and became the real nice guy he is now. After Strifer saved her life against monsters and bandits, many times, he said to her to meet in a very beautiful place near the city at night. While both were looking to the skies, viewing the stars, he asked to marry her. She declined and as reason for doing so, she simply says she doesn't want to, and they would never be together. Very frustrated, he started to discuss with her increasing his voice after every question, then he does let the anger control him which pushes her back. She falls on the ground and start screaming and asking for help, people from the village nearby come and Strifer goes away.

People started to protest against the knights after the incident, and Strifer is disconnected from the knights. Yamer do believe on the boy theory, that the girl was a witch and forced him to do it, he even found clues indicating it, so he asks to let Striker lives. They agree, but as long as he stays very far from the Koto and the kingdom. Strifer now has 5 days to leave the place.

Of course, he wouldn't allow all of it to happen for free, he was planning vengeance against Taty. He observed her routine for 3 days without being notice thanks to the stealth techniques he learned. On the fourth day, during the night, he entered the house and captured her, locking her in the basement. There, he waited her to wake up from the sleeping gas and said: "I really, really tried to be a nice guy, because of you. Just doing the right things, following that damn stupid creed and for what? Not happy with ****ing my heart, you decided to also **** my life, taking everything from me! Now it's my turn!" and he laughed himself to tears, conjuring her deepest fears and smiling right from ear to ear, even though she was begging and scream, he gets the sword and kill her, piercing her belly with it and said: "I can keep you looking young and preserved forever". Not happy with that, he just takes the body upstairs to her room and rape her dead body, before sleeping next to it after done, he notices some tears on her eyes. He thinks it's weird but didn't care and says "I know, I know it's not your time, but bye, bye. Baby, don't cry, you had my heart, at least for the most part, and everybody's gotta die sometime".

On the next day, he wakes up and notice the entire house is covered in blood and the body disappeared. Possibilities he never considered occurred, she was a witch, and she starts to scream and all ways to get out of the room are locked and set fire. The dead body appears in front of the door, and with a terrifying voice said: "I tried to keep you away for your safety, but since you want to be in danger, I will make you feel in danger" and started to slowly walking to him. He tried to use his powers and grab his sword to defend himself, but he was not worthy anymore to lift that sword which responds only to pure souls (well that ******** of being an example wasn't all ******** XD). He terrified just run to a corner while she slowly come to him, passing right beside the sword and grabbing it, she is worthy. Strifer got even more scared and started crying, then she does the same as he did, piercing slowly his belly with the sword, whispering: "Kill it, kill it, Kill it!"

While bleeding and dying, full of pain, she forces him to look at her while she says: "shh! I want to see the light fading out of your eyes. I know it's not your time, but bye, bye and don't cry, you had my heart, at least for the most part, and everybody's gotta die sometime anyway." and then started to laugh herself to tears. With a smile right from ear to ear, she pushed the sword more and more into his body.

After his death, Strifer due to a curse she did before kill him, went to a place very dark and scary place, and she just appeared there locking him with chains in the center above of that area. She said his soul would be locked there forever while his body will be used as a killing machine and her plans were soon be achieved, but he replied saying the knights will never allow her to be successful, so she just said: "Then they all will die". And with her power she can "resurrect" the Strifer "body" and begin her plan.

Before anything exists, there was only darkness. So, the Goddess of Gods Lu-a created gems and called the "Sublime Gems", each one containing a bit of her power and then used all of them to create our world as it is, and the gems brought life to it. After it the gems were placed on our world in hidden places to protect the existent life because whoever controls a gem controls its power and by controlling all of them you would control the entire world.

There were a lot of gems such as: Fire, Water, Wind, Land, Lightning, Nature and Life... The Fire gem brings the heat to our world, while the Water gem brings the winter and cold weathers. The Wind brings the air, the Land the "ground" to our world while the lightning the electricity and light. Nature and Life brings all the forests you can see and life to all animals in these planets along with Spring. So, every element that present on this Earth has a gem for it.

Lu-a sure knew some people, once they discover the gem power they would use it to bring death and tyranny, so she decided to chose one person blessing him, so he could become a semi-god and his order would be to control and protect each gem, materializing it into a bracelet called "ring of power" (3 rings together one above the other, the first one, the biggest in diagonal from left to right, the other slightly smaller from right to left and the smaller in the center in a straight line). And for years and years the rings were safe, keeping the planet life as we know, thanks to our glorious guardians that entitle themselves as the Knights of the Order.

Later, Frank a genius Leotoch (a very small creature similar to a white leopard) studied the rings and discovered they modify the human body adding a new atom named as "element 125". The 125 was responsible for all modifications and powers, so Frank after many years studying it, he was able to extract the 125 from the blood of the knights and replicate it allowing them to expand the Knights of the Order, "recruiting" (or creating) new knights.
