Raymond, the Traceur Policeman is a custom champion in League of Legends.
Good day summoners! It has been a while, and I'm aware of it, but here is another champion to add to the roster of champion concepts. From the outer-city of the City of Progress comes a policeman who professes in being able to tread any path efficiently and swiftly. With his magnificent kicks and maneuvers, I present to you the Traceur Policeman: Raymond.
This concept really showed me how hard it is to find suitable icons for my champion. There are some that could fit, but to find those that really fit someone is seemingly impossible, such as for this capoeira & parkour inspired police-dude. I didn't hire someone to do the art since as ambitious I would like to be with every project, I didn't feel the need to ask for that kind of assistance at the moment. Aside from that, I wanted to touch up on what is outside of the inner-city that most champions of Piltover are a part of. People have made speculations of how the city-state is like, and I'm placing my marker of how it may be like. Think of how some areas are marshes and grasslands, along with the oil reserves and possible farmlands. Then you have the towns that feel like a mix of Piltover and Victorian era London, offering tight-knit buildings and narrow alleyways for Raymond to run across...
I couldn't find suitable pictures for Raymond's abilities; didn't pay an artist because not necessary. This champion also explores what is outside the main city of Piltover, adding my spin of what more Piltover has to offer.
Nonetheless, what is important is that his concept is more focused on chasing and apprehending. His theme original was inspired by the likes of Assassin's Creed (the parkour/city-traversing action) and Capoeira. While he's not supposed to be the mightiest of fighters, if you are thinking about running from 
Raymond, think twice before doing so from him.

Abilities
Background
Lore
Main
Piltover. The City of Progress, where Techmaturgical advances have been made by the hands of multiple engineers and scientists. Even then, it has its own hands of 
criminals here and there. Both of these elements are best known in the central area of the city-state, but it also stretches out as far as the outskirts.
As the 
Sherrif and 
her partner take care of crimes within the city where the most important of project are done, there exists another police force that watches over everywhere else: the Piltover Outskirts Police Force (POPF). While there work is not only in the outskirts (and their office is for sure not located there either), their works are as distinguished from the in-city duo as the outskirts are to the city. They will chase and they will enforce, but they avoid the use of technology in order to improve their raw capabilities. Even then, every since they've started, the POPF have been phenomenal in their job of reducing criminal activity outside the inner-city.
While the POPF has a good handful of members working in the force, three of them stand out the most as its most recognized officers. First is a brawling mage whose grandfather is the Founder of the POPF, Mageus. Then there is the first Yordle to become an officer of Piltover, 
Sauna.
Last but not least is one of the more recent members of the POPF who has created a name for himself among the other officers: Raymond. A lover of dancing & parkour and friendly to all who the POPF protects, he loves to party & talk with the towns-people. Sometimes lacking decency in front of his superiors or taking a nap, he seems to be a playful man who enjoys his life too much. He even owns a small bar where he hosts small dance-offs as if they are bar fights. Yet, his credibility is not in what he does outside of work, but when he is on the job.
Almost a different man, Raymond is dauntless and powerful, skilled in many martial arts and unmatched when it comes to chasing down criminals. In every record of his work, no matter if he had to capture an entire gang of thieves alone or even chase after a group of riders, no criminal has escaped from his grasp. Although he has taken other tasks as an officer, he truly shines when it comes to traversing the city and streets to catch a criminal on the run. There is no race that Raymond would lose when apprehending a criminal.
