Could be both, honestly! I personally think she does have eyes, but who knows? Maybe looking into them is a bit “unsettling” to put it mildly.

There’s a lot we don’t know about the Abyss; but the two people associated with it - Androxus and Seris, but cover their face to at least some extent. It’s possible there is a specific reason for that outside of mere masking of identity.

ABOUT:

This blog is meant as a hub for lgbt+ fans of Paladins! We host, reblog and feature fanart and fanworks for the game that relate to lgbt+ headcanons and ideas. We also accept asks and submissions relating to headcanons for all of the above as well! Pretty much anyone can participate but this will be the main focus. As the blog grows we’ll also consider hosting contests and events.

To contact us for any reason, you can either use the mention feature on tumblr, or message us straight from the blogs inbox. We’re always open to feedback!

Just off the top of my head! But I have a pretty wide taste in ships I think. Also I unironically like Lex/Pip.

Howdy! I’m guessing this is meant to be an ask encouraging some headcanons, so me and mod mod impaler arrow whipped some up.

It took Ash longer than most tocome around to the idea that she was, in fact a girl. She danced around theidea for quite some time, because she believed that if she ‘really was a girl’she wouldn’t be interested in going to war, armor, brawling, you know…traditionallymasculine stuff. Basically, she needed to actually take the time toself-reflect. She’s definitely the kind of person who is more action orientedand in the moment but…things had to come to a head at some point. This occurredin her late teens before she went about joining the armies and becoming thesiege machine we know today. As is characteristic of her, once she wasconfident in who she was and what her decision was going to be, she was quickto tell those closest to her. I think they’d be supportive.

Now, I know physical transitionisn’t terribly as important to being trans as a lot of people think, but it isan interesting line of thought to consider how this process works in the realm. You know, given the existence of magic, futuristic technology, and mysterious energyholding crystals. But hey, look; if Pip can turn people into chickens there’ssomething that can transmogrify someone’s junk.

…Okay, I apologize, back ontopic:

Honestly, Ash is prettycomfortable in her own skin. When you’re as strong and armored as she is,people tend to take your word for whatever you say. She holds a prettycommanding figure too. Is her relationship to femininity a bit complicated?Well, yeah, that’s definitely a thing. She’s not opposed to being feminine onprinciple; she wears some of the markers that she likes. The slight curves andthe detail work on her armor for example, or the way she wears her hair,slightly longer and dyed red. But, that’s the key thing here: it’s just anotherpart of the whole of who she is. She’s a very raw, real person.

She’s very open and honest andhas that sort of confidence about herself that is so very, very, Ash.

If you check over on the paladins wiki most of the characters that were around before open beta have story blurbs on their character pages; these were old tidbits that were in the game before the version currently out now.

However some of these blurbs have been subject to reworks; an example would be ruckus. He recently received a default design rework and adjustments to his lore along with the release of the map splitstone quarry which has a lot of story elements hidden away if you go around exploring it as well. The details of what were changed were mentioned in the patch preview when this occurred; OB55. [Here is a link to see what they said about Ruckus and Splitstone Quarry over here]

Now, for most champion interactions the best we can do is at the moment, go through their voicelines, such as the ones shared over on the wiki. HOWEVER you will also notice how important the patch previews can be in terms of what sort of information can be gleaned. It’s also worth checking the twitters for some of the people who work on the design team for Paladins. A prime example would be Thomas Holt who is the lead art director.

I’ve often considered doing a series of posts where I put together all the information we know from all these sources on each champion and their backstory. Again, one post at a time, a sort of series if you will. I just haven’t been sure if there’s a big interest for that sort of thing, but if there is, I’d love to help out on this specific front.

(also yes ash/cassie is a fun ship we need more fanart in this community in general lol)

None that I’m aware of! If you’re going to make one though, we’ll gladly advertise it over here for those who are interested!
