Champion

Class: Specialist Mage -> Juggernaut
Role: Top/Mid
Resource: Backbone

Forward

Atma, (pronounced like aath-maa and meaning "breath" in Sanskrit) is my take at a courageous coward. What's a courageous coward? Well I think of a courageous coward as someone who is cowardly and easily frightened, but still chooses to fight and confront adversity despite being afraid. They just need some time to gain some backbone before fighting.
Atma actually has 2 forms (similar to Gnar). Each form has a different playstyle as Atma is a cowardly mage in his Brittle Form and a resolute juggernaut in his Forged Form. Atma switches from a coward to a brave warrior after gaining max courage (Backbone), at which point he unsheathes his very spine to use in battle. His spine? Yes. His brittle spine was reforged by Ornn himself into the Forgefire Kanabo he wields today. Read the lore to find out more!
The idea of Atma's Brittle Form is to be a mobile mage that gains Backbone by dodging skillshots and landing ranged abilities and attacking froma safe distance - Atma is too scared to fight up close but he still fights in his own way aha. Running away and trying to survive is still brave to me - its better than standing still and accepting defeat at least :P Although he himself is brittle in this form, his abilities also apply brittle to enemies, possibly immobilizing them a bit longer (giving him more time to run away!). Eventually he gains enough Backbone to be able to unsheathe his Kanabo from his back and enter his Forged Form.
The idea of the Forged Form is to be an aggressive Juggernaut with high amounts of melee damage and healing. This form has great catching potential, especially if the enemy was brittled while Atma was in his Brittle Form. Once a frightful coward who would haphazardly cough up smoke, now Atma is a tenacious berserker who wants all the smoke - and fire too!

Appearance

Tall, medium build, young man, black charred and scorched skin, long red-orange hair in a ponytail like a wildfire, orange eyes, fireproof black leather pants, blacksmith's apron, Agnisha emblem, Kanabo handle sticking out from his back behind his head.
In Brittle form he hunches his spine into a cowardly posture, and his hair is let down in front of his face, turning more and more ashy gray as his backbone drops.
In Forge form, he stands up straight and confident and his hais and eyes glow a bright red-orange as his backbone increases.

Applicable Contest Prompts

Atma is a mage/juggernaut with very different playstyles based on his form. To oversimplify, his kit is basically a "wait/ go" playstyle. While the brittle form can still deal quite a bit of damage, its main function is to survive enemy engages, as well as "set up" by applying brittle, and finally to gain backbone all the while to enter his forged form. His Forged form is where Atma shines, gaining incredible kill and survival potential.

I tried my best to embed the courageous coward into his kit and playstyle as much as I could. His gernation of Backbone requires him to be in battle to gain Backbone, meaning the player has to be brave enought to attack and dodge abilities to gain backbone. The story of Atma is one of fear and courage. He is scared and yet does his best to survive, he will not give up. And when he finally gains enough courage and backbone he becomes the warrior he knew he always was, attacking aggressively and recklessly without doubt.
I tried to add subtle things to make the player understand the change in Atma throughout the game. Like in brittle form his dash ability is actually a short self fear with increased movement speed. And in forged form that ability is a self-berserk with increased movement speed. I'm sure its probably best to make it a dash with animations that communicate this, but this is more fun. Other things that show his story was that in brittle form his abilities use smoke. The smoke is a result of Atma's fear causing him to be unable to breath properly with his new Steelforged Lungs (read the lore!), coughing up smoke. But in Forged form, each breath is calm, deep, and intentional resulting in the accumulation of forgefire in his body instead. Cowardly smoke/ Unextinguishable Forgefire.

Connected to Ornn and his Hearthblood, but not sure if the brittle mechanic apply and proc is sufficient for the second half. Regardless, I had a lot of fun making the lore this time around so thanks for giving this prompt!

Lore:

TLDR: Atma is an Agnisha, a decendent of the last surviving Hearthblood. One day Agnisha village is radied by the Winter's Claw and all Agnisha's are killed, including Atma's master, Marnn, who made Atma's Kanabo. Since Atma just watched in fear as his village was killed he feels guilt and hatred to wards himself for being such a coward. Remembering his master's words he travels to the howling abyss where Ornn and Volibear clashed, and nearby he wishes to go to hearth-home the closest place he has to a home. Instead he is attacked by a Spirit Ram, ends up getting completely scorched and on the brink of death. But his defiance to live unleashes a burst of forgefire, immediately letting Ornn know that Atma is a descendent of his friends the Hearthbloods. Ornn ends up saving Atma's life and replaces his now brittle spine with the Kanabo. Ornn teaches Atma how to wield his Kanabo saying that only a truly courageous person can unsheath it. And so Atma trains with Ornn to one day get his revemge against Sejuani and the Winter's Claw. But he is still a coward at heart, so this journey will be very difficult.

Kit:

Shared Kit 

• Atma has 2 Forms (Brittle Form and Forged Form) with their own set of unique abilities with unique cooldowns. Atma spawns and respawns in his Brittle Form.

• Atma generates Backbone as his secondary resource, generating 10 Backbone whenever he deals or receives damage (doubled against champions). While at 100 Backbone, Atma's next ability cast will make Atma switch to his Forged Form and cast. While in his Forged Form or upon exiting combat for 5 seconds, Atma loses 20 Backbone per second. Upon reaching 0 backbone he reverts back to Brittle Form.
• Atma gains Tenacity based on his current Backbone, regardless of Form.

Tenacity: 4%/5%/6%/7% per 10 Backbone @ lvls 1/6/11/16

Brittle Form Kit: 

• Atma is permanently Brittle and his damaging abilities apply Brittle to enemies for 3 seconds. Atma's attack range is 550.

• Active: Atma enters a fit of coughs, coughing 3 times over 1 second, firing an orb of hot smoke in a line with each cough. Each orb stops upon colliding with the first enemy hit, dealing physical damage.
• Each consecutive cough deals 25% less damage and has less range. Enemies hit by 2 orbs are slowed for 1 second, enemies hit by 3 orbs are rooted for 1 second instead.

Physical Damage: 50/75/100/125/150 (+60% AD) Cooldown: 10/9/8/7/6 seconds Range: 900 (reduced by 300 range for each consecutive cough)

• Active: Atma gasps, quickly inhaling over the cast time. Afterwards, Atma suddenly coughs spewing a cone of hot smoke dealing physical damage to enemies it passes through.
• The smoke remains for 2 seconds, covering a circular area over time and granting Atma stealth while within it. Enemy champions have obscured vision of Atma while they are also within the smoke.

Physical Damage: 80/120/160/200/240 Cooldown: 18/16/14/12/10 Radius: 300

• Passive: Atma gains 20 Backbone whenever he dodges an enemy ability-projectile within his proximity range.
• Active: Atma fears himself for 0.5 seconds moving in the target direction, setting his movement speed to 1200 during the fear duration.
• Atma's fear will end prematurely if he would walk into another enemy unit during the fear duration. When this occurs, this ability's cooldown is reset.

Cooldown: 10 Seconds Proximity Range: 220/240/260/280/300

Forged Form Kit: 

• When Atma or a nearby ally immobilize a Brittled enemy champion, the immobilizer steals a % of their armor and magic resist. Afterwards, the enemy champion is marked as Shattered for 4 seconds. Atma heals himself for a % of the post-mitigation damage he deals to shattered enemy champions.
• Atma's Kanabo Swing and basic attacks against Brittled enemies pull them slightly towards Atma (like Ornn mini-knockback but mini-pull instead).

Armo MR Steal: 5%/6%/7%/8% @ lvls 1/6/11/16
Shattered Heal: 20%/25%/30%/35% @ lvls 1/6/11/16

• Active: Atma winds up for a swing over the cast time, then he swings his Kanabo from right to left covering a half-circle in front of him. Enemies in the outer edge are dealt 20% increased damage. Brittled or Shattered enemies are pulled slightly towards Atma.

Physical Damage: 60/90/120/150/180 (100% AD) Cooldown: 4 seconds

• Active: Kanabo slows himself by 20% as he charges for a minimum of 1 second and up to 2 seconds. During the charge duration, Atma gains displacement immunity, generates 20 Backbone every second, and stores 100% of all post-mitigation damage he receives as Inner Flame.
• Recast: Kanabo spins in place exhaling a torrent of Forgefire in a small circle around him which deals physical damage. Afterwards, Kanabo heals himself for a % of the stored Inner Flame.

Physical Damage: 100/130/160/190/220 (increased by % of current backbone)(+70% AD) Heal: 40%/45%/50%/55%/60% of stored Inner Flame Cooldown: 20/18/16/14/12 seconds

• Passive: Atma gains 10 Backbone each time he kills a unit, quadrupled against champions.
• Active: Atma berserks himself for 0.5 seconds moving towards a target enemy unit, setting his movement speed to 1200 during the berserk duration. If Atma would get in proximity range of the target during the berserk duration, this ability can be recast as Kanabo Smash to end the berserk duration.
• Kanabo Smash: Atma slams his Kanabo straight down in front of him dealing physical damage. Brittled or Shattered enemies hit by the Kanabo are also stunned for 1 second.

Physical Damage: 80/110/140/170/200 (+50% AD) Cooldown: 10 seconds Proximity Range: 220/240/260/280/300

• Active: Atma inhales over the cast time gaining displacement immunity, focusing Forgefire at the tip of his Kanabo, making it take the shape of a Ram's Horn.
• Atma thrusts forward with his Kanabo applying brittle to the first enemy for 3 seconds and dealing physical damage to them over the brittle duration. The tip of the Kanabo will drag the colliding enemy over the thrust. If the enemy would collide with a wall during the thrust, they are stunned for 1 second.
• If used at 100 Backbone, Atma will dash a short distance during the thrust.

Physical Damage: 150/250/350 (+100% AD) Thrust Range: 300 Dash Range: 300 Cooldown: 75/60/45 seconds
