Meet: Vertebrosis- The Forsworn Warden- Shadow...

[quote=Glenner359]![Vertebrosis Concept] (https://i.imgur.com/IdQ0Ro2.jpeg) LORE Once a champion in his own right, Vertebrosis wielded the ghoul powers that would one day belong to Yorick. Viego’s essence rose and altered Yorick's abilities, Vertebrosis’ ghoul legion was dispersed, leaving Vertebrosis trapped between life and spirit. Now returned, a Forsworn Warden, he seeks to reclaim his power — but not through brute force alone. Instead, he aids allies, controlling spectral minions and gravestones to punish enemies while shielding his companions. Vertebrosis is a ghostly reminder of what was stolen, a spectral figure with a decayed chest, skeletal limbs, and shadowy wraiths that branch from his form like fragments of his old body. VISUAL DESIGN NOTES - Ghostly humanoid, decayed chest/stomach - Semi-transparent jagged limbs with glowing ghoul cores - Summoned ghouls/gravestones are spectral, dark gray/blue with orange highlights - Ultimate R creates 3 ghoul/gravestone entities that float around allies, exploding on hits ABILITIES PASSIVE – FORSWORN LEGION - Each ghoul active: bonus adaptive damage + minor healing to Vertebrosis and closest ally Q – PHANTASMAL STALKER - Summons fast ghoul to dash to target - Deals minor burst on impact - Use: Punish immobile targets W – WAILING BURIAL - Summons ghoul that moves toward nearest enemy - Explodes on contact or max range - Allies near explosion gain minor healing/shield - Use: Zone control, aid allies in trades E – DRAIN OF THE FORSWORN - Sends ghoul to enemy/minion - On hit: deals damage and heals Vertebrosis/ally - Use: Sustain, assist trades R – MAUSOLEUM'S EMBRACE - Summons 3 ghouls/gravestones around allies - Ghoul explodes on enemy champion hit (max 3) - Allies gain damage reduction and minor healing - Use: Teamfight control, peel PLAYSTYLE / TIPS - Manage ghouls to maximize passive buffs - Q/W punish immobile champions and control lane - E for sustain or helping allies - R in clustered fights; explosions are limited, so placement matters - Strong vs low-mobility champions, hook supports - Weak vs hard engage or high-mobility lanes[/quote]

[quote=Glenner359]Another thought on this... if not the heal on W, then exchange that for slow. at least, though I wouldn’t find fear/stun or others. Still, It’d make a good character and give me more or less my old Yorick back. lol[/quote]
