#nakuri league of legends

[manythingsinmymind]

Thing on my mind:

I can't help but think of the character of Nakuri or rather the potential this character has.

Like i've read a lot of fic with Kayn (mainly with ships but eh) and i can' help but think that Nakuri is character that can have an real impact in Kayn's life in SOOOO many way.

Because i think he should be part of the package, like you include Zed and/or Akali in some type way in Kayn's life, you should add Nakuri too.

I mean he is present in both Kayn's short stories: in the first one in the canon universe, Nakuri is also an apprentice and get in the way in the mission to retrieve Rhaast, he is like a rival. Meanwhile in the second short story, set in the odyssey universe, he is not only a commander under Kayn but is also AN OLD FRIEND. THAT is an important and very interesting point.

Because in the canon universe, Nakuri is dead (at least that we can assume that) so he's not revelent but in alternative universe? Damn the possibilites are insane! (i think he died in the odyssey too not sure)

You can give different role to him and depending on how close you make them, he has a more or less important impact on Kayn's life.

Nakuri can be a rival, a childhood friend, past lover etc and in the heartsteel au he can be part of Kayn's pevious band (i've seen that quickly) and you just had to add his death or betrayal in the mix and you get ✨traumatised Kayn✨. And you have like no information about him that he is almost like a blank sheet that you just have to fill

I also like the idea that in canon Kayn probably didn't feel an ounce of guilt when he killed Nakuri while in any alternative universe you can make him feel different level of griefs and probably guilt if he played any role in his death

i'm not a writer lol but like here are a few exemples (and i know some writers like to make the characters suffer)

modern au :

-they were close friends in highschool 🏫

option 1 : nakuri + betrayal = kayn got trust issues

option 2 : nakuri + death by accident +more or less play a part in it kayn= broken and guilty kayn

-they were lovers ❤️

you can applied the previous options

option 3: nakuri + toxicity= broken/traumatised kayn

-enemies to friend to lovers to dead💀

-He was Kayn's crush💔

option 1: he rejected Kayn like an asshole

option 2: he played with Kayn's feelings

heartsteel au😎:

nakuri kick kayn out of the band because they had a fight or something or get kayn kicked out

(i like to think that Rhaast hates his guts😈)

I dont think a lot of people have read Kayn's short stories OR people don't think Nakuri is that useful as a character and maybe thats why Nakuri barely appear anywhere (i think its more the second lol or they just forget about him). Anyway i just really needed to get this all out, its not a big deal but the idea have been taking all the space in my head dancing and twirling

so i guess thanks if you have read this far, its just random thoughts

[op-intensify]

Kayn, Corruption, and Tragedy

Kayn is an edgy character. Riot knows this, they specifically designed him to be edgy, catering to the fantasy of someone whose competence exceeds that of their peers and revels in their superiority as a matter of fact. And it is subverting this characterization that makes The Lure such an effective exploration of character in addition to introducing an entire universe.

If you haven’t read The Lure and have any interest in Kayn, League of Legends, or pulp sci-fi, please go read it. Spoliers ahead.

The Lure does an excellent job of adding to Kayn’s character while providing an explanation for how he came to be the sociopathic, narcissistic, overconfident fool we know and love (to hate). By far, the most important aspect of the short story is the humanization of Kayn; he is flawed, but not without redeeming qualities. First and foremost is loyalty. Kayn values relationships, from professional to personal. He respects his emperor enough to suggest pragmatic solutions he knows will be rejected.

Hardline suppression, heavier penalties, military annexation of resistant worlds. Kayn knew that an empire organized under his philosophies would be much more aggressive and unforgiving than the society Jarvan supported. Still, it was his duty to suggest these things, his duty to offer the emperor alternatives. He was an Ordinal, Kayn reminded him. That was what Ordinals did.

He expresses some resentment for the emperor’s unwillingness to even consider his potential solutions, but does not act on or foster that sentiment. What sentimentality he does maintain is for an outdated robot.

“I suppose I might get my servos melted down for transuranics, or they could donate parts of me to younger fightmeks—” “Keelo!” Kayn strode up to the big machine. “No supposing. And no feeling sorry for yourself, okay? I still need to maintain my edge. I need you to keep me on my toes. A surprise here, a surprise there, just like always.” Keelo’s optics swivelled up hopefully. “Yes?” “Yes. How can an Ordinal keep in prime form without his loyal fightmek to test him?”

It’s made extremely clear Keelo is no longer capable of fulfilling his function as Kayn’s fightmek. The robot is aware of his obsolescence, going so far as to suggest indirect suicide because he no longer has an overt value as a machine designed for combat, a suggestion immediately dismissed. Kayn sees worth in Keelo as a friend, not an object, he cares about the robot’s feelings, offering reassurance and putting himself at a disadvantage for the sake of his friend’s ego.

“Wait,” Kayn called after him. He walked over to the big machine, and plucked a tech-fleck off the fightmek’s broad back. “That’s the tracer gone. See? All gone. You can surprise me again later.”

Kayn is given a solid characterization as the story begins, outlining his motives and morals that are sympathetic if not always agreeable. As the story progresses his behavior gradually changes, becoming more aggressive as he spends time in the presence of Rhaast. This shift is not exhibited by him alone. Other characters display growing paranoia and rage culminating in a very bloody shootout when they succumb to unbridled ambitions magnified by Rhaast.

“Stand your men down, Nakuri!” he yelled, moving towards the light of the tunnel mouth. “This is lunacy!” This is the test. “Nakuri! We’re being toyed with! This isn’t you!” “Oh, but it is!” A voice echoed back. “This is me, the real me! Me for the first time! I see it all now! How it should be!” “Nakuri!” Armored fists closed around his throat from behind, and Kayn started to choke as they throttled him.

Kayn is more than capable of overcoming his attackers, but instead of giving in to the suggestion of violence he tries to reason with them first. This is an extreme contrast with how he is portrayed in other stories and in-game.

“If… not me…” Nakuri bubbled, broken, “…not you either. Others… are coming…” “Others? Just hold still. I need to get you a medivac.” Kill him. “Shut up.” Prove what you are. Kill him. “Shut. Up.”

Rhaast manipulates the situation to ensure his freedom, effectively cornering Kayn with no other option but to wield the interspatial monster. He taunts Kayn, alters his perception of the world, continuously pushing him towards the edge of sanity until something breaks. It’s this transition that emphasizes the tragedy of Kayn; someone who is caught in events beyond their control and is cruelly led to believe he can restore order. Kayn is a proficient killer but chooses restraint where possible, he is sympathetic towards others and honest, and these positive facets of his character are in the process of being destroyed as the story ends. The Lure begins with Kayn as a deeply flawed hero and ends with the complete destruction of his moral character, a transformation exemplified by mirroring his introduction.

The scythe flashed. The severed halves of the old, battered fightmek crashed to the deck and lay there, sparking and twitching, as the light in his optics died. “Surprise…” said Kayn.
