▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Destiny of Ruin (Ex)
Uncanny have a racial -10 to all skills to fabricate, repair or otherwise materially better their situation.

Light Fortification (Ex)
When a critical hit effects an Uncanny, they have a 25% chance of treating it as a non-critical.

Heart of the City (Ex)
Uncanny have a racial +2 to performance checks and have one of the following traits:
-Born of Movement: Gain DR2 vs bludgeoning damage and and treat falls as if they were 10’ shorter.
-Born of Sound: Gain +4 to listen checks and gain a +5 bonus to 3 musical perform checks per day.
-Born of Masks: Gain +4 to sense motive checks and a +5 bonus to 3 acting or comedy checks per day.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ஜ۩۞۩ஜ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Once great cities littered these kingdoms, filled with happiness and prosperity, but now they have all fallen to ruin and the Uncanny wander as lost relics of an age long forgotten.

Uncanny are constructs designed to perform for the people of the cities that built them, once they entertained squares, courtyards and markets with their dance, music and theater but now dwell in ruins of their cities, slowly falling into disrepair.

One of the reasons Piltover is known as the City of Progress is because it has an extraordinarily low crime rate. This hasn't always been the case; brigands and thieves of all sorts used to find the city-state an ideal mark for plunder, primarily due to the valuable resources it imports to fuel its techmaturgical research. Some even theorize that it would have fallen long ago to the chaos of organized crime if not for Caitlyn, the Sheriff of Piltover. Born the daughter of a wealthy statesman and a pioneering hextech researcher, Caitlyn discovered her natural gift for investigation when, at age 14, her father was assaulted and robbed on his way home. She snuck out of her house that night with her father's rifle and tracked down the muggers from the crime scene. At first, her parents did their best to discourage her from such risky hobbies, but she was incorrigible. Wishing to protect her daughter in the only way she knew how, Caitlyn's mother began outfitting her with techmaturgical devices tailored to her sleuthing needs.

Caitlyn quickly gained notoriety, both because she was singlehandedly defeating crime in Piltover and also because she soon developed into a ravishing beauty. She never backed down from a case or a challenge, and she was one of the sharpest shots in the city-state. Her services were soon requested by Demacia to help track down a mysterious outlaw who had begun committing high-profile heists. The bandit, who always left a card with an ornate "C" at the scene of the crime, became Caitlyn's arch-nemesis. To this day, Caitlyn still searches for this cat burglar, and the chase has led her all across Valoran.

The LoL-related title caught my attention.
What sort of help are you looking for, exactly? Help with statting the characters? More setting ideas than what is presented in the wiki?

Edit: Also, while those Magitek rules seem pretty cool, I don't think they're really relevant for any of the champions listed here.
Some general ideas for character builds I can think of:

Caitlyn would most likely be an Urban Ranger of some sort. It's sort of hard to think of a detailed build for someone who just runs around with a gun that has some special ammo. :smallwink:
Mechanically, Ezreal would be a Warlock, dunno about fluff, though I think you're being liberal about that anyway. Warlock gives him energy blasts of many shapes, debuff blasts and a short range teleport (though longer than in the game).
If you're willing to use Pathfinder content, Ziggs is an obvious Alchemist with a heavy focus on bombs.
Janna is either a Druid (the bird is her animal companion) or a Cleric with the right domains (probably Air and... Protection?)
I'd say Viktor and Zilean are most likely Wizards/Sorcerers. The choice of class depends on your fluff decisions.
Blitzcrank is a custom sort of golem.

Great response, thanks!

I'm looking for help on the whole thing, I'm not experienced with making cities and I try to avoid making them when I DM because I can't get my head around them usually.

Yes I'm running it in pathfinder but I'm using 3.5 mainly and adapting the rules.

@Cait
I think cait is a gunslinger variant that uses a precision rifle, she builds up her deeds from hitting creeps and such, deepwood sniper fits perfectly too.

GUN5 DWSNIPE10

This grants her lots of range, crit, she gets true strike 1/day that takes no actions and she gets improved damage as a full round action to people who don't move.

@Ez
Yeah I would have to agree that he is pretty clearly a warlock who has mixed physical and strange energy damage, honestly I'm no Ez player nor can I think of how to build him in DnD.

@Ziggs
Agreed! He's also a little furry thing.

@Janna
Yeah I'm pretty sure she's just a druid or cleric with appropriate spells. Honestly I don't care as much about her wind spells as I do about her airship as that's pretty much the only way the party would interact with her unless they really mean to.

@Zil
I think there's a time mage PrC, I can't find it but it was a blue robed Githyanki and it could grant itself extra actions and such.

@Viktor
Yeah he's pretty clearly kind of a warforged caster of some sort, I'll probably give him an aberrant eye for his laser thing and give him eye casting from lords of madness, so he can shoot lasers from his thing.

@BC
Agreed, I'll probably make him a golem with a few levels in Evolutionist (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?p=13115715). Check out the Construct section.

That covers the concepts for a few of the main notable NPC's, I'll build a sheet for each in a bit but it's the holidays so I don't have a lot of time.

I'll contact you via PM if this project lingers, I'll try to construct when I can.
