Overview
Cobus is an AD support designed to act as a team steroid. The idea came as kind of a challenge to myself one day when I was scanning the forums. I noticed a couple people were attempting AD supports and whenever one would pop up, it would have serious concept flaws that would just make it blatantly OP or UP, because people were struggling with the line between how to balance a character that has damage potential, but won't end up just being a self-buffing fighter or ADC. In the end, the designs all broke down and caught a bunch of flak from others saying that the idea of an AD support won't work no matter what you try. So I decided to see how impossible it really was, and thus came Cobus. Hope ya'll enjoy him, and please leave your thoughts and constructive criticisms.
Lore
Like many men of the Freljord tribes, Cobus' family had been consumed by the wave of steel that accompanies the struggles of war. Struck down, but not killed, Cobus survived where his tribe did not. Forced to survive on nothing but the blood-soaked snows that permeated his camp, he slowly gathered strength enough to venture forth into the cold; Weak, starving, and alone.
For days he wandered, scavanging what little sustenance he could off of corpses and the crimson snow around them. In time, his body gave in to the hunger, and he found himself unable to continue, collapsing to the ground. But to his surprise, he awoke, rapped in pelts beside a fire. He would later find he owed his salvation to a great white bear, who walked like men; An Ursine. He had heard stories as a child, but never had he known of them to truly exist. In time, Cobus became strong enough to move and speak, learning his savior's name was Volibear, and they exchanged their stories. When all was said and done, Volibear took pity upon the man and his state of solitude, offering Cobus refuge amongst the dens of the Ursine. Accepting the offer, Cobus learned the way of the Ursine and their brutal power.
Time and again, Cobus proved himself as a worthy warrior, fighting with the fierocity of even the mightiest of the bear-men. In honor of his strength, Volibear taught him the ways of the shamans, combining it with Cobus' potential for bloodshed, the spirits of the greatest Ursine to be his guides in combat. He quickly mastered the art, channeling the fierocity of the Ursine's ancestors into battle with him.
When the time came that the Ursine had joined forces with the tribe of Winter's Claw, Cobus acted among the ambassadors of the Ursine, pledging his allegiance to Sejuani and her tribe. To christen their newfound alliance, Cobus followed Sejuani and Volibear into the first battle against their enemies as a single faction. His prowess and kill-count earning him the name of "The Red Bear," and an honorary kinship to the Winter's Claw. To his delight, due to his deeds and dedication, Sejuani and Volibear elected him a champion to serve with them upon the Fields of Justice.

His eyes are a steely-grey, set above sharp cheek bones and a heavy square jaw. His chin is covered in a twice-forked beard, running about the length of his neck in braids. Running across his nose and down his right cheek is a scar left from the blade of an axe, falling off the ridge of his jaw.
Torso/Arms: His torso is adorned with a thick bear fur vest, exposing the center strip of his chest and belly, where multiple scars can be viewed. Around his neck and shoulders is a shawl, sewn with an assortment of bear claws and connected in the back to a bear head hood, lined with a metal helm. His gloves are fingerless leather, the top of which are metal gauntlets in the shape of bear paws, bound in fur, embroidened in the center with a metal sigil, carved with a rune. His upper arms, however, are left completely exposed, from just below his elbow, up to the lowest point of his shoulder muscle.
Leggings: His legs are covered by a long leather kilt, trimmed with fur and embroidered in sqaure criss-cross patterns.

Accessories/Details: To save time, all leather he is wearing is medium-brown, while the fur a deep crimson. Dark red, Norse-style tattoos can be seen running along the exposed portions of his body.
Weapon(Attack Animation): Cobus uses his bear-paw gauntlets as his weapons, sweeping them in a bashing/slashing motion when he attacks, ripping into his target. In his right hand, he carries a large, club-like totem depicting a bear with its maw open in a roar, which he will bash an enemy with on a critical. In his left hand, he holds a runestune, with a red rune constantly glowing upon it.
