Dr. Lance Sweets

[lifetothefullest]

1. Lance has no middle name, though he's thought about adding one just for the sake of making his initials look better on publications.

2. He has four degrees: one BA, one MA, and two PhDs.

3. In grad school, in order to help pay for his courses he used to teach psychology to used car salesmen.

4. He didn't hit his growth spurt until he was almost eighteen, and gained nearly a foot of height.

5. He's a talented pianist and singer.

6. Lance is incredibly competitive, and had to quit his university chess team because his obsession was harming his grades.

7. He really likes blueberries, muffins, and blueberry muffins. And Chinese food. But despite having preferences, he'll eat just about anything.

8. He's an extraordinarily bad cook who once got thrown out of a cooking class for being a fire hazard, but is apparently quite good at baking.

9. Lance tries not to kill insects, spiders, lobsters, or anything else. At Hadriel he can only justify killing the monsters and the Null in cases of self-defense.

10. He's broken about twenty bones in his life (so far.)

11. He used to run track in college.

12. He has no idea who his biological father is, and has never met his biological mother, and therefore he doesn't know much of anything about his ethnic background (although he has some guesses.)

13. Because he skipped several grades, he wasn't often around people his own age and therefore is not great at determining how old someone is by looking at them.

14. He's not a particularly fast reader, although that's because he prefers to take his time absorbing the information and so he usually doesn't have to read anything twice.

15. He's convinced he's bad at math mostly because he once got a B in a class.

[tongueamok]

It's okay, Lance. You and Carlisle can commiserate on being middle-nameless bakers.

[ghostlocked]

lance is the cutest wtf. ARE ANY OF THESE HEADCANON? just wondering they all sound v legit........

Re: Dr. Lance Sweets

[evocation]

lance is the best and he and kyna should have more stupid competitions tbh

Aren Brosca

[paragonbrosca]

1. Aren isn't at all formally educated but she is fairly bright and it didn't take her too long to learn how to read.
2. Despite her talking about drinking and doing so in public, no one's seen her genuinely drunk and she never really sticks around when someone is that way.
3. No slouching, she has daggers on her back, plus as a dwarf she's small enough.
4. She's always suspicious, though puts on an amiable front in hopes of getting more information that way. If actions align with words, then over time she can come to trust them, but that never happens right away.
5. Aren is an enthusiastic eater of whatever she can get her hands on that isn't spoiled. This comes of living as a duster and never knowing where her next meal would come from, so she couldn't afford to be picky.
6. She's of the ??? sexual orientation, going with whatever feels right at the time and not bothering to give it more introspection than that.
7. She's a fan of all silly jokes, whether puns or vulgar humor. Pranks, not so much anymore, since that spiraled out of control more than once. And, well, once can't live in Dust Town and not develop some gallows humor.
8. Fight or flight? Flight, unless cornered. Running away to fight another day is always a sound strategy in her eyes.
9. Rules of engagement and fair fights are for idiots. Whatever she can do to win a fight, she'll take it.
10. She loves the surface and the lack of it being her native Orzammar, but weather is still a pretty weird concept to her.
11. Barkspawn's name was originally going to be Gherlen, after a casteless dwarf who became king. But Alistair brought up 'Barkspawn' and that ended that.
12. Her full titles are: Hero of Ferelden, Warden-Commander, Arlessa of Amaranthine, the Dark Wolf, Paragon, Champion of the Proving, Veteran of the Fifth Blight, Champion of Redcliffe.
13. In D&D terms, she started off as Chaotic Neutral. Now she's Chaotic Good...mostly.
14. As a dwarf, she doesn't dream, can't do magic, and is somewhat magic-resistant.
15. As a Grey Warden, she's infertile and has a lifespan that at best ends in 28.5 years. But hey, at least she can sense darkspawn?

[tongueamok]

7 & 14. Bring me the CR for these two, please. Carlisle loves dumb puns, and the Dwarves of his world are pretty different to hers, as they've found out a little already.

15. Oh hey, she and Carlisle can start a club for people who are definitely going to die before 30 because of what they are.

Richie Tozier

[trashmouths]

1. Despite constantly being sent to the principal's office for disrupting, being rude, and not being able to concentrate, Richie consistently get's high As on all of his schoolwork

2. He was caulrophobic even before Pennywise, so Pennywise didn't even need to transform. His second fear is werewolves.

3. He loves going to the Aladdin theatre and when he's not seeing movies there he's at the arcade. He pretty much lives there if he's not with the Losers.

4. Richie wants to be a comedian, a radio DJ, or a ventriloquist when he grows up.

5. The reason he started getting bullied was because of how bad his eyesight is/how ridiculous the glasses look. Now it's because of his inability to shut up.

6. Speaking of his inability to shut up, 9 times out of 10 he knows he's insulting people but he can't physically stop his impulses or urges to say it

7. The Losers' have devised a way of telling Richie when he goes too far: they say 'beep beep, Richie.' This made Richie nearly pee his pants when Pennywise said it to him.

8. Despite constantly arguing with them and winding them up, he considers his best friends out of all the Losers to be Stan and Eddie.

9. He hates mowing lawns but he'll do it for arcade money.

10. Once, Richie went through a phase where he'd take any leaves or plants he found in the Barrens and try to smoke it to get him high.

[ghostlocked]

hey newt and richie need more cr because they're basically the same person.

Yusuke Kitagawa

[wantsnudes]

1. An aspiring artist. Considered a genius in traditional Japanese-style art, and also enjoys painting contemporary, abstract art.

2. Is an orphan, but is able to support himself on his art scholarship in high school due to his talent.

3. ...Is also terrible with money and taking care of himself in general, though, so he's perpetually hungry and will skip meals or even go days without eating. Even in Hadriel, he has a bad habit of neglecting to eat, despite money being a non-issue.

4. Is sixteen, but so old-fashioned and out of touch that he talks in formal Japanese and didn't even know how to use image search engines, online shopping, or emojis until he was recently introduced to them.

5. Likes people-watching for his art, and will just start drawing people in public without their permission. Likewise, he'll talk to himself in public and see nothing weird about it. What is social awareness?

6. Can't read the mood for shit.

7. Thinks the naked body (of both men and women) is aesthetically appealing and has zero problem with nudity in general.

8. He's very touchy about being called weird or eccentric, and sensitive about his lack of knowledge regarding social conventions. He uses his art as a way to understand others better.

9. His friends joke that he's cursed and brings bad weather wherever he goes. A summer festival he attended was cancelled due to rain, and on a trip to Los Angeles, his flight was diverted to Hawaii due to storms.

10. His favourite subject in high school, besides art, is history. He's very intelligent and gets good grades in general, however.

11. Loves astronomy. The beauty of the night sky and the mysteries of space are very fascinating to him.

12. Has a Phantom Thief alter ego, codenamed Fox, due to his kitsune mask and tail. The tail wags if he gets excited. In Hadriel, he still tries to keep his secret identity hidden if he can help it, since he's a wanted fugitive back home, but Fox will still make appearances if he ever needs to fight and/or sneak around.

13. Originally wanted his codename to be Da Vinci, but the other Thieves vetoed it. :(

14. His Persona is Goemon, based on the Japanese folklore hero who stole from the rich and gave to the poor, Ishikawa Goemon.

15. The tallest of the Phantom Thieves, at 5'11".

Re: Yusuke Kitagawa

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

Da Vinci why....

Terrence Ephemera/Sharkface

[requiemshark]

1. Knows how to snowboard. His squad took a vacation at a mountain resort way back when, drank way too much, charmed and infuriated the staff in equal measure, and shockingly managed not to break any bones. Only one of them had ever gone snowboarding before.

2. Would enjoy mystery novels if he ever picked one up.

3. Played soccer and basketball in high school.

4. Unrelated to the above, absolutely hated high school. Bailed the moment he turned eighteen to sign up with the UNSC.

5. Foster kid. All he knows is that one of his parents was a member of the UNSC who was killed in a Covenant attack. He made up a story about his mom and dad going out in a blaze of glory when he was little, but has since abandoned it.

6. Despite eventually gaining the security clearance to look up his parents and their military records, he never did.

7. Has the following Sun Tzu quote tattooed on his back: "So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss. If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose. If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself".

8. Also has the word redemption tattooed on his chest.

9. Related to that, he was a true believer in the Insurrectionist cause for a time.

10. "Ephemera" isn't his birth name. It was given to him by his foster mother because, unbeknownst to Ephemera, his birth mother's record was so highly classified that the UNSC didn't want her name anywhere after her death.

11. He hasn't gone by Terrence since high school.

12. Had an ill advised fling with his flight instructor way back when. It ended badly.

13. His squad committed mutiny against their superior officers after a mission went bad. Ephemera is very surprised he wasn't immediately executed for that after he got arrested.

14. Takes ALL THE SUGAR in his coffee. Also loves sweet things in general.

15. Has no formal art training. He learned from Space YouTube.

[restinglichface]

SPACE YOUTUBE oh my GOD

Michael Munroe

[aroundthecoroner]

1. Michael's middle name starts with O, which makes his initials very unfortunate. (Standing challenge: no one has been able to guess it so far, and I doubt they ever will.)

2. He didn't get a driver's license until he was 19.

3. Human garbage can; he will eat just about anything, even if he doesn't like it. Has been known to subsist solely on fritos for multiple days when he can't be bothered to go grocery shopping.

4. Along with his high tolerance for gross smells/sights, Michael has a high tolerance for spicy things. If he has food options, he'll usually go the spicier route.

5. He was not kidding about his entire family being doctors... kind of. His dad works at a private practice and his mom works in a hospital (they are actually doctors). All three of his older siblings are either somewhere in the medical field or have a doctorate in something else. But he's out of contact with all of them so who even cares.

6. It doesn't come up in my tags a lot, but Michael sometimes talks to the Visitor when he thinks he's alone. It... doesn't talk back.

7. When he says he got kicked out of med school, it's not because he flunked. His grades were actually quite good, he got expelled for stealing lab specimens. (No charges were pressed due to his father's influence.)

8. Got invited to a surprising number of parties in college, mostly because of his girlfriend at the time. He spent most of them hanging out with the hosts' pets and/ or quietly snooping around their house.

9. Outside of an autopsy suite he is actually pretty clumsy and drops things frequently.

10. Without his glasses, he's farsighted. He actually often wears contacts back in his own world, but needs the glasses for work.

11. His bachelor's degree is in biology.

12. Michael's anger management issues actually go back a long way. As a child, he once beat the shit out of a neighborhood kid for making a racist comment about his mom. He got into a lot of scuffles in his middle school years, mostly over dumb stuff.

13. Usually sleeps on his couch instead of in a bed.

14. Actually has a good amount of money saved up (back home of course) because he doesn't have a lot of hobbies, lives in a modest apartment, and spends very little outside of necessities.

15. And a meta one: in the original version of the story that would later become my graduate thesis, Michael Munroe was a minor character who was killed off in the third act. When I revamped the story, I needed someone to fill the role of the second antagonist (a role which has since changed yet again) so I decided, at random, to snag this character for it. I voicetested him in a PSL, had a load of fun, and the rest is history.

Re: Michael Munroe

[evocation]

IS HIS MIDDLE NAME ORPHEUS

Carlisle Longinmouth

[tongueamok]

1. Having been mostly raised by his uncles even when his father was alive, Carlisle often doesn't know how to relate to stories where people were close to their parents.

2. The number four is an integral part of the iconography of his faith, and so he tends to do things in fours, or take anything that comes at him in fours as a sign.

3. He's extremely fastidious in general, but especially with his nails. He's very self-conscious about all the ink that gets under them.

4. At 6', Carlisle is considered tall for his world. To be fair, a lot of people are descended from Dwarves and he lives in a village near a tribe of diminutive animal people, so it's not hard to be considered taller than average.

5. He's poor with illusionary magic, and doesn't trust it in general, save for his enchanted cloak. He only trusts that because his uncle Benistad did the enchanting.

6. When he was younger, before he realized he could sense the undead, he had an entire conversation with an intelligent one who stumbled upon his garden. It'd go very differently these days, but it was pleasant at the time.

7. He loves stupid jokes and wordplay. Really, really loves them. His uncles were not fans.

8. In the region he comes from, the middle name is often given in honor of the mother's family. Because of reasons, his mother wasn't exactly accepted with open arms, and thus, Carlisle doesn't have a middle name. Don't ask him about this.

9. He's highly superstitious. For example, he doesn't wear white because of his condition, despite the color being all over the usual robes of the clergy in service of his goddess. Don't ask him about this, either.

10. His hometown was located near a tribe of Forest Folk, and he got to know them fairly well. Because of that, he's got a bit of a soft spot for the talking animal sorts of Hadriel.

11. He's never had a pet until Hadriel, and he's still convinced his pet nug is some kind of a hideous rabbit.

12. As of his time in Hadriel, he's a recovering alcoholic. He still slips up sometimes.

13. If he weren't a healer, he'd love to have become an alchemist. His hero is famed magician and alchemist Pendlebrook Brimstone. Unless you have time to spare, don't ask Carlisle about him, either.

14. Carlisle abstains from voting in all the gods' polls for religious reasons. He wouldn't be caught dead answering to anyone but his beloved goddess, okay.

15. The nature of his curse categorizes him as an undead of sorts, and so he 'reads' as an undead to those who can sense such things. He's mostly unaware of this (and it's probably for the best, given how he feels about undeads).

Re: Carlisle Longinmouth

[dedikated]

carlisle bb ;; u needs a good family

Dr. Temperance Brennan and the 15 100% canon facts

[notimpervious]

1. She has an older brother named Russ. He's four years older than her and is a disaster, but he Tries, and he Cares.

2. Brennan's birth name is Joy Keenan, and her brother's is Kyle. But--

3. --thanks to Crime on behalf of her parents, identities had to be changed. Brennan was 3 at the time, ao she doesn't remember not being Temperance.

4. She keeps a pet iguana in her office in the lab.

5. She has eaten tarantula more than once.

6. She had uncommon pets as a kid -- iirc she had a mouse or a rat, and... idk but it wasn't your standard pet. She wanted a pig but didn't get one.

7. After walking into a neighbor's house and finding said neighbor dead, young Brennan started faking her death in multiple ways at home. It scared the hell out of her parents and wound up sending her brother to the school psychologist. 🤦🏻‍♀️

8. She was bullied and picked on in school.

9. In the high school she graduated from, she was nicknamed Morticia because she used to cut up dead animala that the janitor would find her. Also he may have been her only friend in school, weeps.

10. Brennan is extremely competitive, omg. Absolutely terrible.

11. She loves puns. Make a pun around her, you'll see.

12. Favorite planet: Jupiter.

13. Favorite flower: daffodil.

14. One time in grad school she did a paper on stripper culture, and "what kind of scientist would I be if I didn't perform once myself? It was a burlesque tease. I used big fans."

15. There was this one time she was dating two men at once -- one for sex and one for conversation -- but her intelligent self didn't think to tell either of them that she believed monogamy ran contrary to human biology or whatever reasons she gave, so when they finally met and she oh so calmly introduced them to each other and they realized what was up, they both broke up with her, and she decided that okay fine maybe monogamy is okay.

[hot_mes]

Clearly these two need to talk about school-age animal dissection. Best hobby.

[nowherewolf]

1. His real first name, from his birth parents, is Raridan. It's about the only thing he was able to communicate to authorities when he was found wandering around at the edge of a forest.

2. Spent most of his childhood in foster homes where he picked up his middle (James) and last (Tucker) names. These weren't consistently his names, but the ones he liked best.

3. When he ran off at around 11, he started going by James Tucker, since that's not who anyone would be looking for, but it was easy for him to remember.

4. He actually has a twin brother he hasn't seen since he was a toddler. He doesn't remember him.

5. Learned how to steal as a survival skill, but quickly progressed to "just doing it because".

6. Similarly, his massive ego originally arose as a defense mechanism, but by now it's 100% real. Fake it till u make it.

7. As a teenager he performed in a sideshow, but not with his shapeshifting abilities. He was actually part of a danger act where the threw knives at people.

8. Tucker has eaten some truly embarrassing things, such as actual garbage, wild animals, and roadkill. When you're desperate, you're desperate. As a result, now that he's an adult with money, he spends most of it on eating healthy organic shit. That said, he still has a weakness for street foods, like greasy hotdogs and cuban sandwiches.

9. He has a pair of aviators he wears a lot, because his eyes are actually pretty sensitive (and they are cool, shut up). He can see in the dark.

10. In theory, being that he is a shapeshifter and not strictly a werewolf, Tucker is capable of taking more than one animal form. He doesn't know how to do this though.

11. The story about him talking down a dragon from eating his team is actually not a lie, even if he embellishes it sometimes.

12. Tucker is very street smart, but he's very book dumb. He quit school at the age of roughly 11 (AKA 5th grade). He makes up for some things with google and cultural osmosis, but there's a lot of knowledge he just doesn't have.

13. His driver's license, passport, GED, and other assorted documents are all forgeries with the James Tucker name. Under his original name, he's technically still a missing person.

14. The St. Christopher medal he wears is real silver (he's not allergic to it), and was a gift from a particularly religious foster mom. He's not religious himself, but he does put a lot of stock in luck, and he views the medal as a good luck charm.

15. He gets a meta one, too. For those of you that play/understand 5e, here are Tucker's D&D stats: level 12 rogue with the thief archetype (and all the class features that entails). He also has the luck feat. His stats are kind of min-maxed, with his DEX at 20, his CHA at 17, and his other attributes 14 and lower. Despite him being a rogue, INT is actually his lowest stat. His hp is a whopping 66, and his proficiencies are in acrobatics, deception, sleight of hand, and stealth.

[ghoulaid]

god was it at least fresh roadkill

Trafalgar Law

[hot_mes]

1. Both his parents were doctors. His father began tutoring him in anatomy and biology before he was even seven years old.

2. Even though Catholicism (and Christianity in general) aren't A Thing in One Piece, Law's private school was run by nuns. They seem to have some kind of generic one-God religion but he was never a believer.

3. His full name, Trafalgar D Water Law, implies a ton of secrets. The "D" is a long-running secret in OP, but his parents also told him never to tell anyone that his real given name is Water-Law.

4. He hates bread, for no other reason than Rosinante hated bread. Weirdos. Beer reminds him of bread so he doesn't like it as much as rum and whiskey.

5. The dark circles under his eyes, which never go away, are an aftereffect of White Lead Disease. Fortunately, he overcame the stunted growth and the white patches of skin didn't leave any scars, but he's still got the dark circles.

6. Law has looked after himself since he was thirteen, but didn't form his pirate crew until he was sixteen. During those three years he hung around with two boys slightly older than him (Penguin and Shachi) and Bepo, a polar bear mink. They formed his core crew.

7. His ship, the Polar Tang, is a submarine. It actually has sophisticated medical equipment onboard, including heart monitors, respirators, etc.

8. The hearts on his clothing and tattoos are absolutely references to Rosinante, codename Corazon. As is "Heart Pirates." He's got deep issues.

9. He's had a fuzzy hat with leopard spots on it since he was a kid. He will never give it up, and if he loses it he will make an effort to get it back.

10. In his spare time Law collects commemorative coins.

11. He hides it but overexerting his right arm causes fatigue tremors and lingering pain. The reattachment was otherwise a complete success.

12. He likes to read and keeps copious notes on anything he's researching, particularly inter-species comparative physiology. He's studied Minks and fishmen and would really like to study giants and dwarves.

13. He sent the living, beating hearts of 100 pirates to Marine HQ to secure the position of warlord, so somewhere in his world there are a hundred people who live in constant fear that some admiral is going to crush their hearts and kill them at random.

14. After defeating Doflamingo, his warlord status was revoked (for not denouncing Luffy) and his bounty was reinstated at 500 million beli.

15. Let's end how we began with his parents: government troops shot them to death because they, like everyone in Flevance, had an incurable (but not contagious) disease. And then burned down the hospital with his sick sister inside.

Re: Trafalgar Law

[aroundthecoroner]

jfc no wonder he's so grumpy all the time

also the coins thing made me laugh

Delmar

[imhisaunt]

1. Delmar served on the European front during World War II having been called up for the draft at the age of 32.

2. As a young man and as the eldest of three children Delmar worked in his father's repair shop to help the family

3. Delmar has two younger siblings, a brother and a sister.

4. Delmar's favorite foods are comfort foods: pies, pot roasts, pork chops, etc.

5. He naturally loves crosswords but he also worries about losing his memory and getting forgetful in his old age so he hopes his love of crosswords might help keep him sharp.

6. If he could go back and do his life over, Delmar wishes he could have been an actor, saying he wishes he could tell stories and "try and be someone else"

7. Delmar has lived alone ever since he returned from the war, but despite being alone he's always kept a house that is ready for company (that never comes). His dining table seats up to 6 at a squeeze, his sitting room has a couch and an armchair, and upstairs he keeps an impeccable guest bedroom.

8. Every year Delmar sends his siblings christmas cards, they always return polite but unaffectionate notes thanking him for his cards and reiterating that they don't feel it would be appropriate for him to meet his nieces and nephews who may or may not even know he exists.

9. Delmar keeps a statue of Michelangelo's David on top of his television

10. Delmar's greatest comfort is his favorite soap opera which originally starred James, his unrequited love, before James got fired for undisclosed reasons. In solidarity with James, Delmar claims he's going to stop watching, but can't bring himself to.

11. Delmar's favorite color is yellow and frequently appears in his wardrobe and his decorating

12. Every morning Delmar walks the same stretch of Rockaway beach carrying a copy of his Modern Drama book under his arm, occasionally reading odd passages from it as he walks. He repeats this at sunset.

13. Every year on his birthday, as he has no one to celebrate with, Delmar treats himself to a show downtown or to a movie.

14. Delmar's favorite movies are Meet Me in St. Louis, White Christmas, and Gone with the Wind but he has a soft spot for To Kill a Mockingbird because that Gregory Peck is so handsome and seems so very kind.

15. Delmar's first real crush was on a handsome italian bartender at the dance hall he used to go to with his then girlfriend. At the time Delmar had hoped his attractions to men were just a phase or something he could fix about himself and so he had a series of girlfriends, but he has since embraced that it is not a temporary part of his life and that he loves who he loves, even if that may mean he'll be very lonely for the rest of his life.

[ghostlocked]

NUMBER 8.

BEE.

CAN. YOU. CHILL?????????????

also here's a question is delmar's apartment in hadriel also set up to entertain any and all company at a moment's notice?? harlan will 100% drop by unannounced just so delmar can do his OMG A GUEST!!! thing that he probably likes to do if hh had to guess...

kitkat

[dedikated]

1. her middle name is Jane! And her entire name is a hereditary thing passed down from her maternal grandmother.

2. at 5'3", Kate is the shortest of all her friends from back home.

3. Kate prefers to wake up before sunrise whenever possible and tends to watch the sunrise from a rooftop as part of her morning routine.

4. Kate has two tattoos - a stylised elephant tattoo on the back of her neck, and a piece on her right thigh / hip which she adds to any time something meaningful happens in her life.

5. Kate has been dying her hair pink since she left school at 16. She feels ridiculous with her current blonde hair, thanks for being a traitor, Delight.

6. in keeping with her tattoo, Kate's favourite animal is the elephant and she owns a cute elephant mug from a previous Hopemas and has a childhood stuffed toy elephant here which turned up during a previous event.

7. despite having lived in Denmark for the better part of a decade, the only Danish she speaks is the basics of how to buy things and swear.

8. Kate can manage to be decent at just about any physical feat that isn't swimming.

9. when Kate was younger, she'd deliberately screw up laundry to make her brother, Marc, do it for her.

10. for a while, she had various piercings which she quickly realised were a bad idea when they were clawed out in a fight. (:

11. she has believed she was destined to die young for years like the rest of her family did, though in recent years she wonders about that.

12. though her apartment is actually cleaned and wiped down, Kate is awful at actually picking clothes and other things up and you'll probably find a pile of clothes chucked on a chair or random shelf if you visit.

13. she is a thoroughly meh cook who has no interest in learning. she appreciates food that tastes good but it's more like an unnecessary bonus. she's perfectly happy with it just providing decent nutrition.

14. always a little jelly of people with active or flashier powers than her own.

15. has a telepathic bond with her bestie back home, the inimitable Faith Carr. 😭

[tongueamok]

Boy, do these two need to talk about the fear of dying young someday hahahahahahahahahahaha why

Dr. Lee Rosen

[drabsolutelynot]

1. Rosen frequently ignores his phone when it rings or when he receives a text, most of the time preferring to be incommunicado.

2. He swims 2 miles every morning and claims he had to add several laps onto this swim after the donut shop moved in across the street from his clinic.

3. Rosen is a music nerd/snob. He collects old records and plays several instruments.

4. Not a big fan of shopping, most of Rosen's clothes are hold-overs that his wife had bought him before his marriage ended a decade ago. Also, almost none of his wardrobe is black with the exception of the odd sock or belt

5. He originally got involved with Alpha research when his own daughter, Danielle, began showing symptoms of Alpha abilities. He has since become the foremost authority on the subject.

6. One of his young patients, Gary Bell, outs Rosen as a bad driver, particularly because of his failure to signal when changing lanes and occasionally running reds.

7. Rosen is naturally very awkward and is generally uncomfortable with physical contact, though there have been a select few who have managed to hug him or be hugged by him

8. Rosen speaks many languages (it is never disclosed exactly how many), among with are more practical languages such as Mandarin, Spanish, and French, as well as more obscure/dead languages like ancient Greek and Latin.

9. He has been a guest lecturer at Johns Hopkins, UC Berkeley, UCSF, Pritzker Medical School, and Harvard Medical School.

10. Rosen's original interest in the medical field was the possibilities for research. He was less interested in the direct patient care until he sort of fell into that position as the caretaker of the Alphas being examined by the D.o.D.

11. Several attempts have been made on Rosen's life, most of which were by patients. One trying to force Rosen to realize the reality of the Alpha situation at Binghamton, another who was being brainwashed by a malicious Alpha, and yet more who take Rosen hostage at Binghamton institution as revenge for the atrocities committed there.

12. While he is highly respected as an authority on the Alpha phenomenon, Rosen himself is not well thought of by his colleagues who are openly aggressive towards him. Much of this resentment is based in Rosen's refusal to work closely with others, his inability to view others as equals in his field, as well as the fact that Rosen has someone remained in the dark about the goings on at Binghamton for so long, leading to suspicions that he actually suspects but refuses to push the issue further.

13. Rosen gets arrested by the US government after outing their plans re: the alphas via camera pen and streaming them live across the world, thus simultaneously pointing the finger at the US government for their dangerous cover up of the existence of Alphas and revealing the existence of Alphas to the world at large.

14. Rosen is not particularly skilled with technology, normally dependent on Gary or Skyler Adams to figure out any given piece of tech for him.

15. Meticulous about his diet, Rosen commonly grows special herbs and grasses in his garden, eating them raw and making a thick smoothie from ground up roots that he drinks every morning (guests frequently mistake this for coffee and are greeted with a very unpleasant surprise.)

Kyna Midha

[evocation]

1. Kyna hated school and only finished because her brother would have murdered her and buried her in the woods if she didn't. She never went to college and spends most of her family get togethers dodging her mother's questions about when she's going to do it.

2. Speaking of her brother, Kyna's very close to him! He's older though and generally has his shit way more together than she does, oops. He also sucks at magic.

3. Kyna is pretty tiny, like 5'2" and a little over 100 pounds.

4. If we're talking sort of meta trivia shit, Kyna's strength modifier is -1 and she's failed every charisma roll I've ever done with her :')

5. Also, she's a half-elf, which in d&d means she gets advantage against being charmed. Despite this, she's also failed almost every saving throw for that and gotten herself charmed an embarrassing amount of times. One of those times involved a vampire almost full sweeping the entire party with Kyna's help, oops.

6. Speaking of elf stuff, Kyna is fluent in Elvish, but her elf dad and his side of the family were never in the picture for her, so she doesn't feel any real connection to elvish culture or anything. She absolutely hates the idea that her lifespan is twice as long as almost everyone she has any sort of connection to.

7. She has a cat! His name is Provolone and he's grumpy and old and has a ripped up ear but she loves him to death. Unfortunately he didn't come to Hadriel with her.

8. She's a big fan of food in general, but given the option, she'll always go as spicy as possible.

9. Her apartment back home is horrifically disorganized. She's one of those people who keeps things pretty clean, but there's always a dangerously high tower of books or DVDs or whatever stacked on the tables, except when Harlan comes over, because he fucking hates it and organizes everything for her THANKS HARLAN

10. Speaking of Harlan, she really likes to be lazy and drop in on Harlan and Tucker unannounced, usually suspiciously close to dinnertime.

11. She's terrible at any video game that requires good reaction times or like... hand eye coordination... so pretty much everything except Animal Crossing and Pokemon.

12. When given the option, Kyna will refuse to wear pants where possible. 90% of the time she's wearing shorts.

13. She has a big old scar on her left forearm from where a magical tattoo got cut off, which is super gross and thinking about it still pisses her off.

14. When she was teaching herself magic as a kid, there were a lot of mishaps. More than once, she fried some expensive appliance or destroyed something and her brother tried (and failed) to cover for her.

15. Before I tweaked Kyna for the d&d campaign I'm playing her from now, she was a human and her magic was much less varied/powerful than it is now, and her backstory was pretty different. DOWNGRADE? UPGRADE? WHO KNOWS

[synthedick]

Oh nooooo Provolone is such a cute name for a cat!

Angus McDonald

[hellosirs]

1) Angus doesn't really think of himself as a child. He doesn't think of himself as a full-blown adult either, but he has a hard time relating to other kids, and adults don't often treat him like an adult, so he's stuck in this weird mental limbo.

2) In the 3-4 months he's spent in Hadriel, he's interacted with other kids more than he did in the last year.

3) He isn't kidding when he says he's the World's Greatest Detective! He had a legit career back home, and he used to solve murder mysteries and do freelance consultation work for various militias and police departments around Faerun.

4) He's been living on his own since he was about 9. He used to live with his estranged family, which didn't go well, then his Grandpa, which was great until he grew too old and sick to look after a kid, and since he was traveling so much for freelance at that point, he basically lived in whatever spare lodgings or apartments his clients could put him up in. The Bureau of Balance was the most stable home situation he's had in years.

5) The McDonalds are rich as hell, they have a big fancy estate somewhere in Neverwinter. Angus doesn't go there if he can help it.

6) He very briefly went to private school. It did not go well, he basically spent the whole time being stuffed into lockers and getting his glasses broken.

7) He's secretly a big fan of pro wrestling (or Battlefest Wrestling, as it's called back home!)

8) His favourite wrestler is an Aarakocran birdman named Jeff Angel, who values three things above all: Integrity, Hard Work, and Being Nice to Kids! (He totally isn't just John Cena as a fantasy birdman, shhh)

9) He loves mystery novels, and his favourite series is Caleb Cleveland: Kid Cop! a series of YA books that originally inspired his detective career.

10) He also loves dorky puns. He just tries not to let onto this so much, because he thinks they make him seem immature.

11) As much as he tries to act like an adult, Angus will absolutely break out the sad puppydog eyes if he thinks it will get him out of a scrape, or lower someone's guard.

12) When he grows up, Angus is going to be extremely tall, by which I mean several inches taller than Taako.

13) His favourite snack food is pretzels!

14) He's learning a mishmash of Transmutation and Evocation magic from Taako, but he's picked up a few Bardic spells like Zone of Truth and Silence from his other coworkers. He wants to learn Divination magic, because it'll be useful for his detective work.

15) Tends to dress like either a tiny senior citizen, an old-timey private school student, or an escapee from a Newsies convention. At first he thought it made him look professional, but now it's just how he dresses.

[restinglichface]

gosh i cant wait till smooth jazz angus emerges and towers over taako

Harlan Halliday

[ghostlocked]

1. Harlan's favorite movie is Alien, but it's closely followed by Titanic. Ripley, Rose, Darth Vader, and Uhura from Star Trek are his childhood heroes.

2. Speaking of Star Trek, that's his favorite/comfort show, except nowadays it's rare that he can make it through an entire episode without falling asleep.

3. Harlan did a few semesters of college but never graduated. He kept bouncing between majors, usually some form of music or math, but hated all of it because he's one of those students who is like "this project feels like busy work bc it's not immediately relevant to me so i'm not doing it." He regrets that now though because his dream job was to be a physicist at NASA.

4. His favorite food is pizza, though curry and anything involving chocolate is a close second. The best pizza algorithm is thin crust with pepperoni and jalapenos, and he treats this as indisputable fact.

5. His favorite color is hot pink because it's fun and cute.

6. Weird things he always has on his person: a black guitar pick (it's his focus which is a thing that helps him cast magic), a shitty pink BFF necklace he and his crew made at a carnival (yes he wears it a lot of the time but if not it's in his jacket pocket), and a variety of gag magical items that let him do stupid prank magic on people (his friends definitely love these things and don't try to wrestle them away from him ever).

7. He is an insanely lazy texter, as anyone who has encountered him on the network will know. He hates switching through keyboards when he types, so that's why he doesn't use punctuation that isn't a period and types out numbers and stuff. Despite all this, he vastly prefers text to audio/video because it's better for multitasking (in his opinion, anyway).

8. He loves kids. He super wants his own, but has (mostly) accepted that that is unlikely to ever happen. He thinks he would be a terrible parent and would feel guilty potentially passing along his laundry list of mental health issues.

9. Harlan has OCD and this primarily manifests in obsessive counting and organizing/cleaning. He also self harms as a coping mechanism and it's basically a compulsion at this point.

10. Snakes are his favorite animal and his least favorites are cows and other USELESS farm animals because they just stand around and chew on stuff all day and it's STUPID.

11. His real name is David Bolton, but he changed it when he was a teenager so that his mom couldn't track him down after she got out of prison. The foster family he was with at the time suggested it, so he used their last name and picked Harlan because he heard the name in an episode of Stargate and thought it made him sound like a film noir detective. Years later, he has regrets about how lame this is, but still thinks his name is cool at least.

12. His favorite games are Dark Souls and Skyrim but he sucks super bad at both of them. His go-to character name is Pizza.

13. He doesn't know who his biological father is and has zero interest in finding out. The story behind that is sad and this is a fun meme so!!!! MOVING ON.

14. He doodles a lot and is alright at it? Mostly just like random geometric designs, but sometimes he'll draw spaceships or architecture-type stuff.

15. At 5'7, he's pretty short for a guy, but he likes being tiny. It's easier to navigate crowds.

[lifetothefullest]

I love that his favorite color is pink and he has a pink BFF necklace, okay; that's adorable.

Newt Geiszler

[completelycrazy]

1. Newt was raised by his father and uncle. His mom was a famous opera singer and she had Newt on accident through an affair, so after he was born, she left him with his dad and went back to her career and husband and stuff. SO when he introduces himself in the movie and is like "call me Newt, only my mother calls me doctor!!" it's actually kind of sad....... whoops.

2. Newt has a billion Kaiju tattoos. His arms, torso, and legs are totally covered except for some blank space on his right leg from his knee down. There's a lot of fandom debate on his tats (including how many he actually has...), so 95% of this is headcanon, buuut he has the following Kaiju tattooed on his body: Yamarashi and Taurax on his left arm, Atticon and Fiend on his right arm, Trespasser on his shoulder blades, Spinejackal and Ceramander on his chest/stomach, Hammerjaw on his left calf, and Knifehead on his left thigh. He has two more on his left shin and right thigh but !!! I HAVEN'T DECIDED WHAT THEY ARE YET...

3. Newt speaks German, English, French, Japanese, and Mandarin. German is his first language, he learned English and French in school (and doesn't have an accent because he moved to the States when he was 14), he taught himself Japanese for the mangas, and he picked up Mandarin through his years stationed at the Hong Kong Shatterdome.

4. Newt loves music! Keyboard is his main instrument, but he can play guitar, bass, and drums too. He loves to sing too, but his voice is godawful.

5. He is absolutely terrible at remembering names/faces. It will probably take a couple of interactions to remember you if you've talked to him in Hadriel, sorry!!

6. He has 6 PhDs! Four are in some form of biology and two are mechanical engineering. He got them all from MIT.

7. Before Kaiju came onto the scene, he was studying to be an entomologist. He also pioneered a bunch of artificial tissue replication stuff and taught at MIT for a few years so ??? he's been busy and just kind of bounced between specialties until Kaiju happened.

8. Newt is really bad at being an adult. He's always lived on college campuses or military bases, so he's never really had to do his own housework, especially cooking. At home, when he's not just snagging food from the cafeteria, he's constantly stealing Hermann's packed lunches from the lab fridge. In Hadriel, he's a trash goblin and is subsisting primarily on junk food and coffee.

9. He has a bug up his ass about Jaeger pilots and just general jock/soldier types. He disagrees with their way of thinking pretty heavily and tends to immediately judge anyone who fits that mold.

10. He wears a little black skull ring on his pinky because he's a fucking loser.

11. He's garbage at all physical things except swimming. He grew up swimming all the time at his uncle's lake house so he's pretty good at it.

12. In high school, he was in a band called the Black Velvet Rabbits. He was like 11 at the time (dat child prodigy lyfe).

13. HE LIKES HIS NAME A LOT DESPITE THE CONSTANT PARADE OF HATERS.

14. Newt is allergic to bees.

15. Newt's birthday is January 19, which is like a week after the end of the movie, so all of humanity almost went extinct like right before his bday. SO THAT'S COOL.

Re: Newt Geiszler

[evocation]

garbage at all things physical huh wink wink

Nagito Komaeda DR 1, 2, 2.5 and 3 spoilers. Also suicidal talk

[hoperulesdespairdrools]

1. While Komaeda looks seventeen, he is actually in his early twenties. He and the rest of his class were placed into a virtual world programme. Not only were they given avatars of their teenage selves but their memories of their late teenage years at Hope’s Peak Academy and their adulthood were wiped. Komaeda is in Hadriel in his avatar body at his current canon point.

2. The reason that Komaeda’s memories were wiped is that he and his classmates are part of Ultimate Despair, a terrorist organization that caused mass murders, riots and basically mucked about the world for the sake of creating despair. Komaeda and the others joined Ultimate Despair because they were brainwashed into doing so. Later, they were captured by a group of people who decided to rehabilitate them and turn them into good people again. However, something went wrong and the killing game started. Currently, Komaeda doesn’t know about his past as Ultimate Despair although he knows that his memories have been wiped.

3. When their leader, Junko Enoshima died, some of the members of Ultimate Despair cut off their body parts and replaced them with hers. Komaeda replaced his left hand with hers. So uh….yeah. His real body has a dead woman’s hand. Which hasn’t rotted for some reason.

4. Komaeda’s luck causes nonsensical and messed up shit. He lost his parents when someone hijacked the plane they were travelling on and a meteorite came out of nowhere and hit the plane. In fact, it is implied that Komaeda might have been the only survivor of that incident. Afterwards, Komaeda inherited a massive fortune because his parents were stinking rich, which he would cheerfully say is good luck coming after bad luck so it’s ok. However, he is also implied to be terrified of aircrafts.

5. Komaeda also once got abducted by a serial killer as a teenager. His kidnapper eventually ended up stuffing him into a trash bag, where the boy found a 300 million yen lottery ticket. It was implied that he might have been spared because he had no family to pay the ransom for him.

6. Before he was accepted into Hope’s Peak Academy, Komaeda was diagnosed with lymphoma and frontotemporal dementia with only six months to a year to live. However, it looks like that his good luck has enabled him to live for much longer.

7. Once during his time at Hope’s Peak Academy, Komaeda tried to cancel the school exams for the sake of his classmates because they were feeling miserable after a tragic incident. He did this by placing a bomb in the school gym where the exams were taking place. Tons of unintended consequences happened and Komaeda was suspended because the school believed that his luck stopped people from getting killed.

8. Later in canon, Komaeda ends up playing Russian Roulette to escape from a dead room. Technically, he could have played the game with one bullet and five empty barrels and been allowed to leave if he survived. However, Komaeda decides to test his luck and play it with five bullets and one empty barrel. He survives.

9. Komaeda is the second character to discover his and his classmates’ past as Ultimate Despair. Devastated by this news, he devises a plan to kill all of them except the ‘traitor’ in their group (who isn’t actually a Hope’s Peak student and therefore not a member of Ultimate Despair), where he creates his own ‘murder’ and nobody is able to solve the mystery so they all die except the traitor who unknowingly killed him. And, in Komaeda’s mind, he becomes the Ultimate Hope after his death and finally gets the respect he had been craving for all his life. However, while Komaeda ‘died’ in the programme, he fell into a coma in the real world and was revived in Danganronpa 2.5.

10. Strongly implied to have a crush on Hajime Hinata, the DR2 protagonist, and all but manages a love confession in his final Free Time event. Headcanon is that he’s bisexual and prefers men but is capable of developing feelings for anyone who goes out of their way to understand him, regardless of gender.

11. He’s really good at cleaning but can’t cook for shit and any cooking ideas might involve milkshakes with pork fat or buche noel with pinecones.

12. He doesn’t have any friends partly because people are put off by his behaviour and beliefs and in part because he distances himself from people to protect them from his luck. It is implied falsely told Hinata that he lied about his past to protect him from his luck.

13.His biggest desire is to have friends who accept him for who he is and not die alone. He also despises his luck more than he lets on. After Komaeda falls into a coma, his mind creates an alternative world where he is a normal school boy with no talent or ambitions where bad luck things happen to him but good things happen to other people. In that world, he has tons of friends who are weirded out by him and accept him.

14. Headcanon is that he finds games like Monopoly boring because he always ends up on Free Parking and everyone lands on his property and he wins almost every time.

15. After he woke up, he replaced his Junko arm with a robotic arm. Also, he made peace with his classmates.

Drake Holloway

[braveoff]

1. Before becoming a zombie, Drake hated spicy food.

2. His father was abusive and left them when he was young, but in general his mother has atrocious taste in men. Most of her boyfriends were violent assholes as well. Drake didn't just take it, though. He'd fight back to protect them both and that actually drove several away.

3. He's a total mama's boy and speaks to her 2-3 times a day.

4. Though he tried team sports in school, they never clicked. Drake is, however, well versed in several martial arts. I personally don't know shit about rankings but he holds the highest belts in most of the disciplines he's tried.

5. He actually made friends in prison, and keeps in contact with them now despite having turned around and become a cop. He knows a lot of criminals. This sometimes gets him into trouble.

6. Drake went into undercover work because it sounded exciting and he thought he could make more of a difference that way -- the latter is the only reason he sticks with it. It's ruined his life.

7. As a kid he managed to take in a stray dog and hide it from his mom for a full week. That's the only pet he's ever had, though these days his mom has a cat he's fond of.

8. The actor has a tattoo of a celtic-knotted bear claw on his right upper arm that they didn't cover for the role despite covering his others, so I say that his mother is of Scottish descent and Holloway was his father's last name.

9. He can knit.

10. He's very handy, always has been but took the opportunity in prison to take some actual courses in plumbing and electrical. Every now and then he puts the skills to use working on charity builds, but doesn't have much time for that sort of thing anymore.

11. In relationships Drake's somehow always been the dump-ee, never the dump-er.

12. After Frank, Drake realized he had a lot of pent up anger he had to deal with. He made it his mission to let go of that, so he'd never snap again. These days he's exceptionally good at keeping a cool head even in a dire situation, and will always try to talk his way out of a fight first. He hates that zombie mode messes with that but has accepted that if it kicks in he probably really had no choice besides the fight.

13. Despite being involved in many shootouts, Drake's never shot anyone himself.

14. He learned to drive at 14 and did so illegally all the time until he got his license. Never got caught.

15. One of his cover jobs is as a bouncer at a bar, which is hilarious because he personally has no taste for alcohol. Give him the cheapest shit there is, it's all gross and he honestly can't tell the difference. But he's also observant enough he's picked up how to mix drinks. He just doesn't usually bother.

[synthedick]

Bless this sweet, knitting mama's boy.

[ex_matricide319]

1. Kiran's last name, Anthony, is the first name of his best friend from elementary school. They initially became friends because of the weird coincidence.

2. Back at home, Kiran usually had a faint scent of french fries on him at all times, due to his part-time job at a fast food restaurant.

3. Kiran genuinely loves vaporwave music.

4. Relatedly, and generally speaking, Kiran is your typical teenage music snob. He loves heady concept albums and hates pop music.

5. Kiran is from a Catholic family and grew up Catholic, although he is not very religious himself.

6. His "magical boy" costume is a figment of his mind; when it first appeared on his body, he was subconsciously channeling a famous outfit worn by a Freddy Mercury-esque musician that he loves.

7. Kiran has pierced ears.

8. Kiran knows how to braid hair after braiding his little sister's hair for many years.

9. Similarly, he watches a lot of cartoons on TV with his sister.

10. Despite his cynical and aggressive attitude, Kiran is highly avoidant of real conflicts he has with others.

11. He cuts/shaves his own hair.

12. He hates cold weather, especially snow.

13. He collects sea shells.

14. Kiran was homeschooled after his parent's divorce, and when he returned to school later as a teen, he had to be held back a grade.

15. Kiran hates tucking in his shirts and leaves them untucked at every opportunity.

Washington

[hardwearing]

1. His real first name is David. He was very against using it after Freelancer because that isn't who he is anymore, but the more they have to face their pasts and he figures out who he is now, the more comfortable he gets with it. He's letting Carolina use it, and maybe will go by it again someday.

2. Despite never having met one before Hadriel, Wash fucking loves cats. His space youtube history is all cat videos. He had cat pictures instead of pinups in his locker.

3. He hates growing facial hair. It's itchy.

4. He used to wet the bed.

5. He's ambidextrous by force of will rather than nature. He trained himself to be able to use both hands for everything.

6. Wash had three sisters, all older. They were raised by a single mom on an outer colony planet that was glassed shortly after he went into the military.

7. He keeps a fairly detailed personal log in addition to a more professional one. Both are entirely unnecessary, as he has an exemplary memory and no one to report to, but he finds the practice helpful for dealing with all the shit he winds up going through.

8. He does yoga and is surprisingly flexible.

9. Much to the annoyance of everyone around, Wash used to skateboard and would practice his tricks despite being on spaceships. Training room, cargo bay, just down the halls at odd hours... it's been years but he's probably still got it.

10. He was bullied for years as a schoolchild, and when he finally defended himself the retaliation was excessive. The kid nearly lost an eye.

11. If possible, Wash would drink all his beverages through a crazy straw. He just thinks they're fun.

12. Though his PB doesn't, Wash has freckles.

13. He also has some premature grey that he stubbornly refuses to acknowledge is a thing.

14. Wash is used to being injured and will endure silently, but he's a ridiculous baby when he's sick.

15. Since getting a kitten in Hadriel, he talks to her all the time. Just a constant one sided dialogue, like he thinks she'll learn to speak human if he keeps it up. He knows this is not the case, obviously, but sometimes she meows back and he wonders...

Re: Washington

[evocation]

when is kyna going to find out his name is david tho 👀

Ed Grayson

[has_been_faking]

1. Ed is half Scottish, half Ukrainian.
2. His full legal name is Juno Edward Grayson, III. For obvious reasons, he goes by his middle name. He used to be known as "Doctor" Ed Grayson in his snake oil days, so most called him Doc.
3. Back home he has a pet cat named Aristophanes, who is similarly immortal like him. He first tested the immortality potion on Ari before himself, but didn't have the heart to hurt the creature to see if it worked. Spoiler alert, it did.
4. While Ed's grandfather had an impressive skill in spellcasting, it wasn't passed down to Ed or his father. Alas.
5. Ed hates violence, almost having a fear of it. He's not a fighter at all, and definitely leans more towards flight over fight. He wishes he could get over it, he feels cowardly thanks to it.
6. He's got a real sweet tooth. If you want to be on his good side, bring chocolate.
7. Ed was married for over twenty years, but his wife Gwen died over thirty years before his canon point. Forever heartbroken, he's barely even dated in all that time.
8. His PB is Will Forte, but specifically from the movie Nebraska.
9. He's an only child.
10. He's a pretty good piano player. Much later in life, he becomes a private piano instructor.
11. The reason he is in jail is for selling/making/distributing controlled and illegal magical products, most of which turned out to be frauds anyway. This is a federal offense in his world, so he's in federal prison.
12. The government makes a deal with him to shorten his sentence, in exchange for letting a lot of doctors and scientists poke at him and try some awful experiments. It's awful.
13. Ed got a lot of his gardening knowledge from his wife. He knew some in order to grow things he needed for alchemy, but she was way better than him at it.
14. Ed is indirectly responsible for the death of his best friend. Said best friend was in love with him, too. Said best friend died trying to save Ed's life. It was complicated.
15. Ed lived through the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Do not ask him about it.
