Lore:

As the royal family of Demacia for centuries, members of the Lightshield line have spent their lives waging war against any who opposed Demacian ethics. It is said that every Lightshield is born with anti-Noxian sentiment in his blood. Jarvan IV is no exception, even though he is the first Lightshield born to the age of the League of Legends. As his forefathers had before him, he led Demacian troops into bloody engagements with Noxian forces, and on many occasions he has bled alongside wounded allies and fallen comrades. In his most crushing defeat, he was outmaneuvered and captured by a Noxian battalion under the command of Jericho Swain. This mistake nearly cost him his life at the hands of Urgot, but he was rescued by the Dauntless Vanguard, an elite Demacian strike force led by Jarvan’s childhood companion, Garen.

Those close to him believed that his capture changed him. Xin Zhao was quoted as saying: "His eyes never seemed to look at you, only through you to something he could not look away from." One day, without warning, Jarvan IV handpicked a squad of Demacian soldiers and left Demacia, vowing to find "atonement". He began by tracking and hunting the most dangerous beasts and bandits he could find in northern Valoran, but he soon tired of such prey. Seeking something that only he understood, he ventured south of the Great Barrier. He wasn’t heard from again for nearly two years. After many had assumed the worst, he returned to glorious fanfare on the streets of Demacia. His Demacian plates were adorned with the bones and scales of creatures unknown. His eyes bore the wisdom of someone twice his age. Of the twelve soldiers who had departed with him, only two returned. In a tone as cold and steady as steel, he swore to bring the enemies of Demacia to their knees.

“There is only one truth, and you will find it at the point of my lance.” -the “last words” of Jarvan IV at his failed execution

Abilities:

Dragon Strike: Jarvan IV’s spear extends through his opponent, dealing physical damage and lowering their armor by a percentage. If this ability is cast on the Demacian flag, it will pull Jarvan through to his Standard, knocking up all enemies in his path.

Golden Aegis: Jarvan IV calls upon the ancient kings of Demacia to shield him from harm and slow surrounding enemies.

Demacian Standard: Passive: Grants Jarvan bonus attack speed and armor. Active: Throws a Demacian flag, dealing physical damage and granting passive benefits to nearby allies.

Cataclysm (Ultimate): Jarvan IV heroically leaps at his target, dealing physical damage and creating a circle of terrain around them for a few seconds.

Martial Cadence (Passive): Jarvan IV exploits his target's opening, dealing a percentage of the target's current HP as magic damage. This effect cannot occur on the same target for several seconds.

I'm sad that they removed the "ARENA BATTLE I CHALLENGE YOU" feature.

Looks cool. It would have been even better if he was Xin Zhao's older bro.

If he is a tanky DPS, which it sounds like he will be, I'll prolly build him like this

1. Doran's Shield
2. Warmog's Armor
3. Mercury's Treads
4. Madred's Bloodrazor or Atma's Impaler
5. Frozen Mallet
6. Infinity Edge or Bloodthirster
7. Trinity Force

Just what I think would work good, kinda like Garen. Maybe a Sunfire Aegis in there somewhere. I hope Madred's will stack with the passive.

You, you, and you: Panic. The rest of you, come with me.

You know, a 5v5 team consisting of the five Demacians - Garen, Xin Zhao, Galio, Lux, and Jarvan sounds like a pretty damn good team. Galio can tank, Garen, Xin, and Jarvan can be you AD carries, and Lux can be the AP nuker. Maybe Xin could fill the jungler role.

Just a thought.

Cluster bombing from B-52s is very, very accurate -- the bombs always hit the ground.
