Eurus
http://i29.tinypic.com/2dlm008.jpg
Speed: 295
Range: 350
Affiliation: Hellbourne
Primary Stat: Intelligence
Theme
Zephyr (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemoi#West_wind_.28Zephyrus.29) is the west wind, and Eurus (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anemoi#East_wind_.28Eurus.29) is the east wind. Unlike Zephyr, who engages in direct physical conflict, Eurus prefers to use his summons instead, relying on trickery and summon damage to battle.

Skill Overview
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3370/22343588rc9.jpghttp://i31.tinypic.com/2ise8o1.jpghttp://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3295/14682979sl9.jpghttp://img204.imageshack.us/img204/176/96880716xe1.jpg
Eurus is able to chain his skills together in order to deal maximum damage. When you locate an enemy, use Birds of Prey to slow him. Then place a Void of Erebus to suck him in and slow him even more. Now quickly activate Shroud--this will give you immolation damage. Finally, use Elysian Flight and leap over him as many times as you can--this will create a ton of birds. Now, when the Void of Erebus blows, it will suck in all the birds you've made and do a ton of damage!
Visual and Sound Design
Eurus is a bony, lanky crow with red eyes. He hobbles awkwardly as he walks, and at no point is he graceful. He should not look like someone who is skilled in hand to hand combat, but rather, someone who'd get steamrolled. His attacks and spell casts should be infused with crowy sounds like shrill caws.
Role
Eurus is a summoning nuker. This means that to deal damage, he relies on uncontrollable summons we'll call "birds," which will be more heavily detailed later. Three of his skills generate birds, while one destroys them, dealing damage based on how many birds you destroy. While he is somewhat weak to AoE nukers on a spell-by-spell basis due to the birds being vulnerable to AoE damage, when all of his skills are used in unison they make him a formidable opponent capable of dishing out incredible damage at incredible speed.
Stats
Eurus is an INT-primary low-range nuker. His range is identical to the Thunderbringer's, and while the Thunderbringer has a pretty decent amount of HP, Eurus isn't so lucky. Instead, he is able to abuse his relatively low-mana nukes and high base mana to constantly harass his opponents.

BIRDS
http://warcraft3.judgehype.com/screenshots/frozenthrone/elfesdelanuit/unites/druid-talon/oiseau-image-haut.jpg
This hero uses universal uncontrollable summons we will refer to as birds. They can be a combination of different small models--ravens, hawks, vultures, crows, etc. Three of his skills will summon birds, while one will destroy them.
Birds have the following stats:
HP: 40
Speed: 522
Armor: 0
Magic Armor: 0
Duration: 8
Damage Type: Magic
Damage: 5 DPS
So if there are four birds hounding you, and you don't kill them, they will do a total of 20 DPS to you for a maximum of 8 seconds, which is 160 damage total. Birds do not give gold or XP upon death. Birds sent by a skill such as Birds of Prey or Elysian Flight will follow their targets indefinitely until their 5 second duration runs out or they die. They will never change targets.
Birds are immune to Mock of Brilliance burn, but can be cleaved by players with Runed Axe.

SKILLS
Void of Erebus
http://img329.imageshack.us/img329/3370/22343588rc9.jpg
Eurus rends into the air a mighty rift from which the vacuum of death beckons his demons back to the underworld before exploding in a surge of black energy.
An AoE nuke that has a mini-blackhole effect, sucking in units for a short period of time in 400 AoE. After 3 seconds of sucking ♥, all nearby birds will be sucked in. The void will then implode and deal damage according to the number of birds caught by the explosion.
Skill Type: Active, Target Ground
Mana Cost: 140
Cooldown: 30
Suck Speed: 100 units per second
Suck Duration: 3
Suck AoE: 400
Bird Suck Range: 800
1. 110 base damage. 11 additional damage per bird.
2. 140 base damage. 14 additional damage per bird.
3. 170 base damage. 17 additional damage per bird.
4. 200 base damage. 20 additional damage per bird.
Balance: The suck is to the center of the AoE, like Tempest's Elemental Void, but in terms of actual movement pulling it's more similar to Puppet Master's Puppeteer's Hold in that it won't disrupt any channeling actions, and the victim can continue to move freely during the pull. This skill will do a lot more damage when there are more birds--Elysian Flight, Birds of Prey, and Shroud will all generate birds.
Visual: A swirling dark that pulls in units. Birds will be pulled in at very fast speeds from much higher range. Upon completion, it will explode in a dark mist.
__________________________________________________
Birds of Prey
http://i31.tinypic.com/2ise8o1.jpg
From under Eurus's wing a flock of carnivorous birds emerges in a bolt of shadow, headed directly towards his enemies to pester them in a shower of beak and talon.
A slowing nuke that will also send birds to your target.
Skill Type: Active, Single Target (Enemy)
Mana Cost: 105
Cooldown: 9
Cast Range: 700
Bird Pull Range: 800
Slow Duration: 3
1. 60 damage, -10% MS, and sends 1 bird to the target in addition to nearby birds.
2. 70 damage, -15% MS, and sends 2 birds to the target in addition to nearby birds.
3. 80 damage, -20% MS, and sends 3 birds to the target in addition to nearby birds.
4. 90 damage, -25% MS, and sends 4 birds to the target in addition to nearby birds.
Balance: It's a single-target slowing nuke. Synergies with your other skills. When used at LVL4, it will send 4 birds, in addition to any birds within 800 range to your target. This includes birds created by Elysian Flight as well as birds from your Shroud. This means that if you use it while Shroud is active, it will destroy the Shroud. Redirected birds will start a new death timer and not die after the original 8 seconds.
Visual: Eurus lifts his wing, from whence a series of birds emerge and circle an opponent.
__________________________________________________
Shroud
http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/3295/14682979sl9.jpg
Eurus shrouds himself under a circle of birds so thick all light is blackened out. Enemies that approach him will be sliced by the swarm's razor-sharp feathers.
Calls three birds to swarm around you. As long as you have a bird around you, enemies do not have sight of you--there is fog of war over your hero--this includes when you're on low ground, in broad daylight, with no other line-of-sight blockers. In addition, you will deal immolation (any hero that comes close to you is damaged) damage depending on the number of birds left.
Skill Type: Active
Damage Type: Magic
Duration: 5 seconds
Mana Cost: 100/90/80/70
Cooldown: 12
1. 3 birds. 5 DPS per bird remaining.
2. 4 birds. 5 DPS per bird remaining.
3. 5 birds. 5 DPS per bird remaining.
4. 6 birds. 5 DPS per bird remaining.
Balance: It's a destructible immolation skill that also blocks line of sight. Without line of sight, no hero can attack Eurus with a normal attack or targeted skill without first killing the birds. AoE skills, on the other hand, will not only kill the birds, but hit the hero. If you have 6 birds, you will do 30 DPS immolation. If you have 5 birds, you will do 25 DPS, etc. This skill can be used and will remain active during Elysian Flight.
Visual: The enemy will simply see fog where Eurus is. He will however see the birds swirling around the fog.
__________________________________________________
Elysian Flight
http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/176/96880716xe1.jpg
In a fit of ash, blood, and feathers, Eurus explodes into a multitude of vultures, ravens, and crows alike, surging forward towards his enemies while releasing his own birds of darkness at the same time.
This skill will your attack. Instead, every movement command you perform during Elysian Flight will cause your hero to leap forward towards that point. Every time you pass over a unit during a leap, you will leave a single bird attacking it. You can pass over a unit multiple times to leave multiple birds.
Skill Type: Active, Target Ground
Damage Type: Magic
Mana Cost: 200
Duration: 3
1. 400 maximum distance and 60 damage per leap. Birds deal 5 DPS. 90 second cooldown.
2. 400 maximum distance and 60 damage per leap. Birds deal 5 DPS. 70 second cooldown.
3. 400 maximum distance and 60 damage per leap. Birds deal 5 DPS. 50 second cooldown.
Balance: It will take approximately 0.5 seconds to do a single leap. You could leap around 4 times factoring in turn speed. The more units you leap over during the span of the skill, the better, as you will create more birds. This skill is intended to be used with Void of Erebus--if you first use Void of Erebus to suck in units, then use Elysian Flight over them, when the Void of Erebus sucks in all the birds you made, it will do a ton of damage.
Visual: Your hero model changes into a black swarm of birds--you don't have a noticeable form in this mode. Every click you make will cause you to rush towards the target point in a flash of darkness.
