So these are some initial concept doodles for a new character Blaise. she's a pest control officer in a very polluted city famous for it's chemical experiments.
Her lore is below to give a bit more context. In gameplay she's based on using different canisters of chemicals as a firing mechanism for her gun. Gaining passive effects depending on which canisters she's plugged into the gun.
Zaun is a dangerous place, few would dispute that, but there are many more perils in the city than might immediately spring to mind. The pollution, the machinery, the street gangs and the scientists looking for subjects to experiment on. All of these pale in comparison to some of the creatures that crawl from the undercity and prowl the alleys. Twitch's inclusion into the league and his fight for his people made it very clear the kinds of things that the slurry of chemicals floating around in Zaun's pipes and sewers could produce. Sentient rats however are just about one of the least threatening things Zaun's hidden melting pots of chemicals have produced. The creatures the city has produced are the strongest argument for those that deny the existence of the void, passing creatures such as Cho'Gath and Kha'zix off as things created by the chemical soup under Zaun.
With all these monstrosities walking around the city it stands to reason there are people tasked with dealing with them. Blaise is one of these people, a member of the Zaun Pest Control squad. In fact Blaise is the ZPC's founder and only member, and as such spends her days hunting and trapping and killing the many threats the native creatures of Zaun represent. After years of doing this Blaise has become more than a little fanatical about her profession, loudly revelling in the sport of the job. She has gained a reputation around the bars of Zaun for vocally objecting to certain champions participating in league matches. This was all considered part and parcel of her job to make the streets safe until one day a match was broadcast that proved to be the last straw. Eye witnesses say that in the middle of a skirmish between two of the League's newest members, Rengar and Kha'zix, Blaise smashed her glass on the bar and without saying a word got up and left the bar. The next time she was seen was when she arrived at the Institute of War.
"You know, after all these years cleaning up the vermin in Zaun... I'm beginning to feel like its not the only place that needs a good old fashioned purge." - Blaise, The Zealous Exterminator.
