Raea, the Tormented: Defiant, Cursed, Spiteful

[Aer]

Placeholder Lore:

Raea was a girl that showed potential that a noteworthy individual saw within her and explained—a promise that her latent magic would become a marvel if honed with patience, knowledge/training, and practice, but her parents didn't see it that way upon hearing the individual's words. They saw her as a tool that could elevate them to the upper echelons of society and bring them fortunes beyond imagining if they brought forth her latent magic and bolstered it or even weaponized it for themselves.

They withdrew her from school, seeing as what she was being taught there was too slow and would be of no benefit to them, and began training her themselves to have a better grasp on how to use her magic. They were unrelenting, harsh, and callous about how she felt and her needs. Due to her difficulty with learning how to use her magic, they punished her by refusing to feed her, binding her—sometimes threading a needle with enchanted thread through the bones between her wrists—to leave her in a dark room sealed by magic telling her that if she can't undue the seal then she does not deserve light, and beating her until she showed progress with what she was being taught.

When her parents realized she wasn't learning fast enough but saw that her magic indeed showed potent promise, they along with colleges sworn into secrecy began experimenting upon her to force her magic into fruition and beyond. The punishments she endured continued and became without cause because they no longer saw her as their daughter—just a valuable asset to bring them what superficial objects and constructs they desired. She was even punished for speaking. Another year later, her powers became exactly what they desired but at a cost: their lives.

Out of anguish, her powers burst forth and speared everyone within the room with her against the walls—instantly killing each and every person in the room. She wanted to feel relief at the death of those who tortured her for so so long, but she couldn't feel anything but emptiness, a longing of a future torn from her, and an unquenchable hatred. Her only wish is for more power to make the uncaring, superficial/vain, and avaricious suffer.

The Tormented's Appearance:

Her hands and through her wrists are bound behind her back by enchanted chains by those who experimented upon her. Whatever enchantment is upon them seems unbreakable despite her prowess at breaking enchantments. By her parents, she was given only a simple dress that is tattered, torn by the sudden and violent eruption of her magic on the last day of her suffering by their hands, without shoes nor accessories. Her hair is white, formerly blonde, and disheveled from the lack of care it was given. Her eyes used to be green, but they're heterochromic—purple and red with veins stretching from her eyelids from the experiments and her power that also caused her hair to change color. Her voice is raspy from disuse because of the abuse she endured whenever she spoke, cried, screamed, and pleaded. Her skin is pallid from many years of being deprived of the warmth of the sun's light and a fulfilling diet.

The Tormented's Weapon:

"Penance's Deceit"

• LMB: Opens a crimson portal to the left or right of her that shoots a barbed black chain where the cursor is pointing after a 0.5s delay.
• RMB: Opens three crimson portals to the left and right of her that each shoots a barbed black chain where the cursor is pointing after a 1s delay.
• Q (Animation): Raea's light melees are kicks. Raea's heavy melee is a more martial kick or one of her barbed black chains lashing out from a crimson portal like a whip.

The Tormented's Abilities:

"Execrate" (1)

• Target a location to open crimson portals to the left and right sides to onslaught the middle with barbed black chains, inflicting spirit damage and slowing anyone caught in between. A target hit by multiple chains will be immobilized by them for ?s.

"Malice" or "Rancor" (2)

• Leap/Teleport to a targeted location. Where you land/appear, barbed black chains lash out from the ground dealing spirit and melee damage to enemies within the vicinity and stealing Spirit Resist from them.

"Efface" or "Abolish" (3/Passive)

• You tear and rend magic in an area around you, dealing spirit damage to enemies, dispelling all non-ultimate buffs, and gaining a damage barrier for each enemy hit. For every buff dispelled, deal additional spirit damage to the target and gain additional damage barrier.
  • Your abilities build up to a Curse. Efface/Abolish's build-up has a unique cooldown per target.
    • AP3: Efface/Abolish dispels non-ultimate debuffs, gaining a damage barrier for each debuff dispelled.

"Paroxysm of Hatred" (4/Ultimate)

• Taking any damage and hitting enemies with your abilities passively charges your Paroxysm of Hatred.
  • Once full, activating the ability makes Raea to scream with sorrowful anguish, erupting a crimson maelstrom of barbed black chains around her towards the sky. Enemies within the radius are pierced (spirit damage and penalized movement [speed and dash distance]) and pulled towards you. If they fail to leave the radius before the duration ends, the barbed black chains are forcefully ripped out of them along with their essence (additional spirit damage) and their movement is severely impaired (speed, one stamina loss, dash distance).
  • The second instance of damage from Paroxysm of Hatred dispels all buffs, including ultimate buffs, and deals additional damage as true damage for every buff dispelled.

(I unfortunately can't think of any APs for all of the abilities right now, so I'll leave that along with the numbers [damage and debuffs] to the developers' discretion.)

The Tormented's Special Trait:

• Innate Debuff Resistance.

Inspiration:

• My brain and Goddess Scarier's aesthetic.

Ahem, "Sacrier". Years of knowing her name and disciples, and I still misspell it as "Scarier".
