Kaworu Nagisa (Tabris) || Neon Genesis Evangelion

[5thchild]

1. Kaworu's favorite element is water. He loves every form of it too (liquid, snow, ice).

2. He is a natural at swimming. While never taught, he is capable of swimming perfectly well.

3. Kaworu's favorite fruit is apple. He enjoys the acid sweetness and the texture quite a lot.

4. Kaworu doesn't know how to draw at all. He actually sucks a lot.

5. Kaworu knows how to play piano and violin, but he is given any musical instrument, he is able to play it after few first tries.

6. Due to his very pale skin, Kaworu is very sensitive to the sun. In Asgard, he has a lot of problems with this.

7. Kaworu has no sense of fashion whatsoever. He only buys and wears what he is familiar with - orange under shirt, white shirt, black pants, white socks and white snickers.

8. Kaworu loves sweet things. He has a sweet tooth and favors sweet things to any other flavor.

9. Kaworu doesn't eat meat, fish or eggs. In other words, anything that has or might come to have a central nervous system.

10. (A BIT OF A TMI) Kaworu is sterile. He is unable to reproduce like Lilim do.


EXTRA: Kaworu has 14 children, who are also his siblings. And he is his own Mother. EVANGELION.

NOT HERE BUT

[redhourglass]

sterile buddies forever

Satan | Devilman

[granddevil]

1. He is insane. He is completely and totally out of his mind.

2. Satan has killed all humans once and nearly destroyed Earth.

3. In order to find out human weakness, Satan erased his own memories and pretended to be human. He actually believed he was human and wanted to protect humankind. Eventually he found out who he really was and got his memories back.

4. Satan is in love with a guy called Akira and he killed all humans for him, after he had a jealousy fit over Akira.

5. Satan killed Akira and feeling guilty for what he did, he gave himself to God who locked him in Hell. The punishment was to relive Akira's death in an eternal timeloop and another punishment (which HE HIMSELF helped creating) was to live in an alternative universe where Satan was abused and humiliated.

6. Let me show you Satan's several forms (att: nudity): Ryo Asuka + Satan ; Ran Asuka + Jun Fudou ; Jun as Devilman Lady ; Ran as male

7. This has not happened, but Satan will escape Hell -> divide himself into Jun and Ran -> Ran will turn male -> Ran will have sex with Jun -> Jun will give birth to Akira who is trapped in Hell. DID I BREAK YOUR MIND YET?

8. He is so powerful that not even God seems to be able to kill him. Locking him up was the only option.

9. Satan loves the world and nature. He loves life too (unless it's humans. One of the reasons why he hates humans is because humans fucked up the world).

10. He only started to see himself as male after he lived as human for a while. Before that, he was neither male nor female; gender is a thing he got from humans and he ended up accepting it.

Ame || Wolf Children Ame and Yuki

[okamichild]

1. Ame sees himself as a wolf, not a human.
2. He is actually very good at hunting in his wolf form.
3. When he was 5 and during his first hunt, Ame fell into a freezing river and almost drowned. His sister saved him.
4. Ame's teacher was an old fox.
5. Ame looks just like his father did (except younger).
6. Ame is a huge "momma's boy", however, he did leave her to live alone in the forest.
7. Ame saved a nug and though he doesn't see it as a pet, the nug follows Ame around (it refuses to enter houses/buildings, though).
8. Ame's favorite season is winter.
9. He used to be very introvert, but after being in Asgard for a while, he became more outgoing.
10. Ame is very polite. He calls everyone older than him "Miss" and "Mister" and it's hard for him to drop it.

[saving_sound]

1. Hibiki once offered some of her soul to a demon because said demon was using up its own soul to provide everyone with yummy melon bread free of charge. Thankfully, the demon was kind enough to refuse her.

2. In the future she will walk into an abandoned house said to be the home of a horrible demon because "the last demon-san I met was really nice, so...!"

It doesn't go well.

3. She doesn't remember her real birthday because no one ever celebrated it with her. Her Master later designated a day for her "birthday", but currently she doesn't feel it's at all significant since it's just a fake date. Other peoples' birthdays, however, must be celebrated.

4. She doesn't often get to eat them, but she does enjoy baby cakes/baby castellas a lot.

5. She comes from a western-inspired fantasy medieval-ish country (think swords and sorcery) that does not have cars or electricity, but does seem to have trains, tetanus shots, fairly modern handguns, and... daruma and oni masks?

6. Since magic in her world takes a sacrifice, she should have lost something for being able to perform a working spell in Mirror Asgard, but luckily escaped before it took effect. It's a very good thing original powers are completely nerfed in the real Asgard...

7. She wears at least one article of clothing gifted to her from someone in Asgard every single day. The most common are ribbons to tie up her ponytail, but on her days off she'll wear a necklace or bracelet from old friends, too.

8. She's pretty good at fishing! But she considers it "play" and therefore not anything special.

9. She really enjoys nature, and has a habit of feeding squirrels and other small, wild critters (but only things they can safely eat!). It comes from coming to see the forest as a warm, welcoming environment after living with her Master for a while.

10. If she ties her hair up on the other side, she loses her sense of balance. However, two ponytails on either side or one in the back is fine. No, seriously.

[palebee]

How curious -- and fitting, really; must the sacrifice be physical, or does it affect the less tangible as well? Do magicians often cast spells at all?

Hamel | Violinist of Hameln

[abhero]

1. He was raised by a talking crow.
2. He has a twin sister who is an angel.
3. He's ambidextrous.
4. He can summon spirits with magical music. Trouble is he pissed off everything single one of them so they don't come anymore.
5. He's a great cook but don't ask about the ingredients. It's probably worms.
6. One time he tried to cook Poseidon.
7. He uses people as projectile weapons.
8. He's actually really capable and self sufficient and has great nature survival skills.
9. His attitude is 50% defense mechanism, 50% real jerk.
10. He's technically the Antichrist.

Re: Hamel | Violinist of Hameln

[bythewaves]

huh I never realised 10. about him before but YOU'RE RIGHT

Vislor Turlough | Doctor Who

[failassassin]

1. He can't drive a car worth a shit and crashed one on his first attempt at driving. (specifically, it was the Brigadier's car.)

2. Turlough can draw! We never see his artwork, but when he was taken to the "most relaxing place in the universe" by the Doctor, he spends his time drawing.

3. One of his favorite things about Earth is tea.

4. He can barely tell Earth animals apart. This fact lovingly brought to you by the lack of diverse critters in the English countryside, and the fact that, in one of the audios, he describes a shape barreling towards him in the darkness as maybe a bear, a wolf, or a wild cat. How the hell do you get bears and wolves confused.

5. He absolutely HATES the cold, which makes him about 10x grumpier.

6. In the same vein, Turlough is much better with heat than with cold, though he will get about 5x grumpier in extreme, hot, temperatures.

7. Turlough rarely wears sleeveless tops. Ever. That's because he has the Misos Triangle, a symbol given to political prisoners, burned on his upper arm and he is hiding that whole 'on the losing side of a war and then exiled' thing, thank you very much.

8. In fact, Turlough wears the same damn outfit pretty much all the time. Partly it's because Five's TARDIS travels were more immediately back to back than the rest, partly because I imagine the men's wardrobe in the TARDIS is slim pickings, partly because he likes suits, thank you very much.

9. It's a good thing that he likes suits because Turlough has terrible fashion sense. The only other outfit we see him wear in canon is this ridiculous thing that's more 80s than a Madonna video. I can't wait until it's summer in Asgard, so everybody can judge him on his short shorts. He also wears a speedo type swimsuit for swimming. THANKS, SHOW.

10. Turlough's a casual drinker. We see him drinking some sort of green drink in a martini glass in canon and he gets a bit tipsy in some of the audios. He never gets outright drunk, though.

[palebee]

Driving is very difficult, isn't it? All of those levers and wheels to keep track of, I really don't see why it needs to be so complicated. Do the animals look very different elsewhere?

Mikazuki Shinonome | The Lucifet and Biscuit Hammer

[crowover]

1. He has an older brother he's desperate to beat in a fight. It's his way to look for approval.
2. He spent a wish on bread for a hungry girl.
3. He attacked three yakuza members when he was in middle school. It took them a LONG time to take him down.
4. Whenever he's troubled he goes to train in the mountains.
5. His family owns a dojo.
6. He made up his own fighting style instead of following family tradition.
7. His favorite color is black.
8. He has shark teeth. It's totally natural.
9. He can't cook.
10. He's a lot more perceptive than he lets on.

[palebee]

Shark teeth? How wonderful! I imagine it removes some of the need for steak knives -- how does your dentist take it?

John "Pyro" Allerdyce | X-Men Movieverse

[ex_outofcontrol435]

Are you ready for some headcanoooooooooooon?

1. John's favourite piece of clothing is his brown leather jacket. He'd never owned something that nice before Xavier's, and he's unreasonably pissed that he came here in an X-Men fleece pullover instead and has had two gifts from home, neither of which have been that jacket.

2. He actually wanted to go by "Inferno" when he heard about mutant names, but the other homeless mutants he'd fallen in with were already calling him Pyro because he had such poor control of his mutation that he was constantly setting things on fire if there was any kind of source for it around - basically, he was an unintentional pyromaniac due to his unreasonable levels of anger. It stuck like glue, as unwanted nicknames will, and he'd accepted it by the time he got to Xavier's.

3. He tends to wear his hair mid-length because he got home haircuts when his parents were still around, which were always short and uneven and awful, but hair that's too long just reminds him of being homeless. The slicking back came with his worsening attitude as he got older in Xavier's, a kind of classic "rebel" hairstyle, and an odd sign of his increasing position in the world like his leather jacket, because he could actually afford haircuts and all that styling gel. As of his current canon point, he is completely baffled as to why he's going to bleach his hair out and spike it straight up in the future.

3. He doesn't like sweet food, opting instead for chips as his favourite junk food and really sloppy, greasy burgers as his favourite meal. There's no strong reason for it, he's just more of a salty/savoury eater than sweet. He also has a - not unhealthy, but definitely stinky taste for onions in or on his food.

4. (Joint headcanon, which could change with a new Bobby, but) food is also the best way to defuse an argument with him after the fact, because that's what Bobby used to do at Xavier's. It started because he was just so damn underfed when he got to the school, but eventually "Bobby/person at door + bag of chips stolen from kitchen/some form of food = stfd and deal with whatever stupid thing we fought about" became normalized to him as a part of friendship.

5. He most strongly resembles his mother, and that's very strongly. His blue eyes and temperament are his father's.

6. His lighter has pretty much become a security blanket to him in Asgard, and while he's annoyed with himself that he still carries it around when it's completely useless to him, he can't bring himself to leave it anywhere or go out without it in his pocket.

7. Logan is his favourite of the adult mutants at Xavier's/tangentially attached to the X-Men, even though he also annoys the shit out of him, because he's gruff and no bullshit and actually pretty funny in between (what John sees as) his bouts of obnoxious self-righteousness. He's learned a new respect for Logan as well, after living with regeneration and coming back from the dead once. He did, however, have a serious teacher crush on Jean Grey for a very short time when he first arrived at the school, but deemed her boring quite quickly.

8. All his time in Xavier's didn't give him any idea how to interact with kids, since he mostly got crap for cursing and speaking inappropriately around them and was quietly kept at a distance from the youngest of them, so he gets along best with younger people who have grown up way too quickly like he did. Very young children baffle him completely, but ones with special abilities in their own worlds will make him more interested in doing the work, and mouthy brats actually do better with him as long as it's not directed at him too often.

9. If he could choose a power in Asgard now, he actually wouldn't choose fire magic, but body control. For all his bitching about how cheap it is in a fight, he'd definitely love to have it on his side after having it used against him once too often; also, while creating fire would be an exciting change, having a hollow echo of his real mutation would be more frustrating than satisfying. Nooooot to mention that there's been a major arson and he doesn't need Actual Fire Powers to make him look even more suspicious.

10. John uses the word "fella" in the movie novelizations. No, really. Look it up in the X3 novelization. "Fella."

[digophelia]

I like "Pyro" better than "Inferno".

Lilly Desange | Mama

[fuckingwolverine]

1. To any character that she begs food from? She's totally conning you (albeit in a mostly innocent way), and she isn't actually going hungry. She gets plenty to eat from the stuff stocked in the kitchen in Freya (especially since Nepeta taught her the basics of using the microwave), and also goes out to hunt squirrels and gather acorns sometimes. It's just that other people bring/fix such interesting stuff that she can't find on her own, and she wants in on that.

2. She actually looks at the network fairly often, even if she doesn't respond to most of it. She also understands more than one would think just going by her rudimentary communication skills, so she's picked up some things about the city even without being explicitly told.

3. She sleeps under the bed! She's made a nestlike place down there with blankets and pillows, and also hung a sheet over the edge to act as a curtain.

4. Asgard's literacy-granting magic gave her the ability to write (something that, along with reading, she wouldn't normally be able to do), but she usually forgoes things like capitalization and punctuation because she doesn't see the point of them. Question marks are a sometimes-exception.

5. Her room is a smelly, dirty disaster area. Kieran helped clean it up a little, but it's still fucking terrible and she makes zero effort to rectify that.

6. She's recently discovered the joys of "swimming" in the bathtub, so she gets fairly clean on a regular basis now. She still doesn't use soap or shampoo, though, and she never cleans up after herself.

7. She doesn't know how old she is (she's six!), and doesn't particularly care.

8. Going along with the above, she was never taught even the most basic measurements of time, and so they don't hold much meaning to her. She understands the cycles of night and day, so things like "in the morning" and "tonight" make sense, but "next week"? "A year ago"? Completely indecipherable. Someone could tell her "You've been in Asgard for three decades" or "You look like you're about forty-five years old" and she'd go "k" and take it at face value.

9. She's actually quite lonely, and is therefore willingly interacting with people more than she would if her big sister were here.

10. Her new favorite food is chocolate. YUM YUM.

Dr. Whale ; Once Upon a Time

[ex_galvanist88]

1. He has an accent back in Fairy Tale Land, but not one in Storybrooke. NO, I DON'T KNOW WHY EITHER.

2. Unlike Turlough, Whale does get outright drunk, most notably when he's having a panic attack and moments of self-doubt right before surgery. This means that he may have done surgery slightly drunk, who let this guy be in charge.

3. His drink of choice is whiskey but really, he'll drink almost anything.

4. OUAT has these great little noncanon add-ons that I take as canon because a: they're funny as shit and b: Whale's got like three hours total of canon to begin with, I take what I can get. So this means that he thinks Sting is great music to play when bringing girls back to his condo and trying to set the mood for sex. In other news, Whale has bad taste.

5. He's another one who only wears suits, partly because he's a doctor, he wants to keep up appearances, but also partly because they look damn good on him.

6. While he is a surgeon, I imagine he does some gp work as well, mostly because Storybrooke's small and also because the show uses him whenever they need a doctor. Regina has him examine baby-Henry and he's the guy in charge when dealing with the dumb magical True Love's Kiss comas.

7. Some punks like to hit and quit it, but he'd rather stay and play--aka he sends Mary Margaret flowers after their one night stand and awwww.

8. While he's relaxed his "science kicks magic's ass" attitude, he will always pick a scientific solution over a magical one every time, even if that science is Star Trek future science that's really one step away from being magic.

9. The idea of settling down with someone has never crossed his mind. And even if it did, having kids would be a massively touchy point because Whale has daddy issues out the whoa.

10. His anaconda don't want none unless you got buns, hun. aka he's more of an ass man than a boobs guy. Obvs the headcanon everybody needed to know.

Re: Dr. Whale ; Once Upon a Time

[proudofwhatiam]

The rules to magic seem utterly nonsensical at times. It's only sensible to start with science.

[not_sasuke]

1. He and his twin brother have matching names; the "Sa" in "Sasuke" is written with the kanji for "left" while the "Yuu" in "Yuusuke" is written with the kanji for "right". It's cute.

2. Both of the twins adopted black cats from the same litter when they were young. Sasuke named his "Kurou" while Yuusuke named his "Shirou." Surprisingly not a case of naming black cats "black" and "white" - they named them after numbers instead (9 and presumably 4).

3. Shirou is very important to him, and he disdains the idea of ordering his cat into danger that he isn't willing to run into himself.

4. On the off chance that someone from his school appears in Asgard, he is not above dropping hints that he might not be quite human what with all of his classmates being magical, transforming animals. He also wouldn't mind dropping hints that Shirou might not be a regular cat.

5. He knows a lot about various animals due to the combined facts of a. growing up deep in the forest and b. attending a school full of them.

6. He doesn't have a high opinion of cities, having been perfectly content to live under the strict tutelage of his father out in the middle of the forest and forbidden to try running to civilization instead. The only times he really went into town were for school up through junior high or groceries, the latter especially after his mother passed.

7. When picking a fake birthday (since all students are assigned one by the teacher, not knowing solid dates) he and Sasuke argued over what season it should be in simply because they didn't want to agree. Yuusuke "compromised" with summer, even though his birthday is really in the winter.

8. He's a member of the ninja club at his school. The club actually has a ~*secret purpose*~ as info gatherers for the school headmistress, and he is totally unaware of this. Slow claps for the kid raised by a ninja family, folks.

9. He also never realized his brother spent a year or two in a different plane of existence chilling with an ancient snake spirit. Yuusuke and his father simply assumed Sasuke had gotten lost in the forest and probably died - only to find him attending the magical animal school, too. Surprise!

10. He fully accepts that after years of bullying, he's more than likely the reason why his twin has an awful self-esteem. Unfortunately, this does not stop him from continuing to slam his brother's head into wooden objects. Even if it's with love??

Evelyn Carnahan | The Mummy

[proudofwhatiam]

Most of these are headcanon, but some are from various bits of supplemental canon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

1. Languages Evy speaks, vaguely in order of proficiency, include: English, Arabic, ancient Egyptian (in its various forms, including Coptic), Latin, French, German, ancient Greek. After that point comes spoken Hebrew and random Romance languages she can kind of follow along in but is better off not trying to speak, lest she say something like "Estoy embarazada!" when trying to excuse herself. (Even her French and German are mostly good for reading scholarship.)

2. Doesn't care for ice skating. When she was a child, she fell through the ice of a pond and came close enough to drowning that she's still afraid of it happening again.

3. Evy's full legal name is Evelyn Mary Carnahan. Whenever she was in trouble as a child, however, she'd be called Evelyn Maryam Carnahan--and probably be told off in any number of languages that haven't been popularly spoken in centuries, lol. It was generally understood in her family that the Arabic form of her middle name was the "real" one.

4. She's a twenty-nine-year-old virgin and has until recently in her life been pretty confident she'd be an old maid forever. It's not something she really minded; at this point in her life, she'd trade the guarantee of a happy marriage for the guarantee of a great career. (Later, it's, like--why don't we have both?)

5. In the battle of Cornish versus Devon cream tea, Evy sides with Devon--cream first, then jam--though she'd rather just crumble her scone up and eat it bit by bit. She's also, unfortunately, is in rivalry with Orwell insofar as she pours her milk before her tea.

6. When she was at Oxford, she had a horrible crush on one of her professors, a Doctor Julian Winter. There was poetry written. Jonathan definitely found it.

7. Up until very recently, she was an atheist--but seeing the undead ferried to the undeworld by a god is kind of a gamechanger, oops.

8. She's not at all good at music, but she does like listening to it. From her schooling, she knows a bit of piano, but it's mostly enough to realize her hands are too clumsy to play different things at the same time. And her voice is...not really something that stays on key, even if it should happen to start there.

9. Comfort food, for her, always seems to end up being whatever's more difficult to acquire at the time. In England? Ful medames suddenly sounds lovely. In Egypt? Well, goddamn, she'd like a nice roast, please. Getting English food in Egypt is easier than the other way around, but either way, it's a culinary homesickness that never tastes quite the same to her in the "wrong" country.

10. She didn't get off scot-free from the whole Imhotep thing any more than she has the dying inside a school thing. She still has some pretty terrible nightmares on the subject; there's just no reason to tell other people about them, so far as she's concerned.

[palebee]

Alas, madame, and we were getting along so finely. That is no way to have your tea. Oxford must have been amazing, it always looks so grand -- and all of that history behind it! If given the chance to return and teach, would you ever consider it?

[sufferably]

( 01 ) he was born on january 20, 2227. that makes him 33 by his own timeline and not yet born by pretty much everyone else's. he was born in marietta, georgia and spent most of his younger days in the south.

( 02 ) he attended the university of mississippi for both undergrad and medical school. he has specialized, at various points, in pediatrics, trauma surgery, and brain surgery. as part of starfleet he knows a lot about xenobiology (or the comparative physiology of alien species) and the treatment and cure of new and possibly alien diseases. he also invented some kind of brain surgery tissue grafting technique once upon a time and has a phd in psychology. the future is stupid and everyone has five hundred advanced degrees.

( 03 ) his favorite drinks are mint juleps and really old bourbon. he likes things that have to be taken slowly and enjoyed thoroughly; he is a self-professed sensualist who likes taking his time with things, when he can.

( 04 ) he was married when he was about 22 and divorced by the time he was 28. sometime during the divorce proceedings his wife told him he "wasn't fit for life on earth" and he took that very much to heart.

( 05 ) he's aviophobic, and has both a psychological and physical reaction to heights and flying. he manages his phobia through therapy and it's pretty much a mute point in game, but it still exists as his biggest fear. he wrote his thesis for his phd about his own and other starfleet cadets' experiences with aviophobia and other anxieties associated with space travel.

( 06 ) he regularly commandeers the kitchens in sigyn's welcome hall and makes elaborate meals and/or desserts. he likes pies and scones and has probably made all kinds of stews and collared greens, as well. he is better at this than he lets on, and will share with anyone who asks politely.

( 07 ) he's a workaholic to the most extreme degree. he justifies this to himself by saying he's helping people by taking care of them, but it's also a bit of a distraction. in asgard, he hangs out at the hospital for obscenely long hours because it stops him from thinking too much about home and how the enterprise is getting on without him.

( 08 ) his hands never shake, ever. not when he's in the air, never in surgery, not when he's drunk. they are legendary^TM.

( 09 ) he lost his virginity to an alien named emony dax just before he went to college and has apparently dated since his divorce. but, he never has much confidence in this arena and things usually end badly for him. since becoming the enterprise's cmo he hasn't really thought about dating because as far as he's concerned he's got his life plan and family, now. but his modus operandi for flirting consists of well-meaning bouts of gentlemanly-ness and being flustered all the time.

( 10 ) he wanted to be a professional basketball player when he was younger, even though he sucks really terribly at the game. it's a good thing medicine worked out for him.

( +1 ) his full name is leonard horatio mccoy, but pretty much no one in canon ever calls him leonard (with the exception of lady friends, like, once.) most people call him doctor or mccoy or some variation thereof. jim is the only one who calls him bones, and yet that's his most recognizable name. bones is supposed to be a reference to sawbones, or the old fashioned word for surgeons; in aos he tells him that's got nothing left but his bones when he joins starfleet, and it sticks. he doesn't like the nickname, but he lives with it.

[proudofwhatiam]

One would think aviophobia would make it impossible to work in space. How do you manage it?

Castiel | Supernatural

[ofthursday]

1) Castiel loves coffee. He learned to drink it black first, but he's exploring all the different ways to have coffee prepared now too.

2) Castiel's vessel, and therefore his body in Asgard, is male. Castiel, however, is neither male or female.

3) He is missing a lot of memory, which has been replaced with fake events. He knows this, but he doesn't know which are which.

4) Castiel has died something like five times in his world, and a few more times in Asgard.

5) He met Daphne when she found him wandering around with amnesia.

6) Castiel loves animals, and has several pets. It's only Daphne that keeps him from filling the house with them.

7) He's a very talented painter and artist, though he rarely uses the skill.

8) He tries to stay busy at all times, as it keeps him from dwelling on and thinking about everything he worries about, which is a lot of things. That's why he has two jobs and is often running around all day long.

9) Castiel is about eight-hundred million years old.

10) He speaks every language ever spoken in his world, whether it's still around or not.

11) Castiel seems to have a fondness for poetry.

Re: Castiel | Supernatural

[proudofwhatiam]

What sort of poetry?

Alice Liddell | American McGee's Alice (spoilers here for the games??)

[digophelia]

1. Alice was born in Oxford, England or in a more suburban part of it, at least. She wasn't a planned child, thus the age gap between her sister. Lizzie was 18 when she died and Alice was seven years old. Because of the gap and the fact that her parents were pretty protective of her, Alice didn't really have any friends around her age aside from her animals and her elder sister who was her best friend. Thus why the loss of them hit her pretty hard. And for the most part, her family was the reason why she was pretty bright for her age when she conjured up Wonderland.

2. The killer of her family, Agnus Bumby, stalked and harassed Lizzie. She didn't have the courage for a while to tell her parents and often consulted in Alice. Alice, on the other hand, never had really knew him as a child unlike her sister and parents. Mostly Alice was off in her own world (literally). Lizzie worked up the courage to tell her parents because of Alice and of course the man was thrown out of the Liddell household. Lizzie was merely protecting her sister. So when Alice's memories of the fire and murders were distorted to where Alice saw Bumby as a centaur, of course she didn't really put two and two together until she was much older, when Alice started recognizing Bumby from her childhood, she realized the centaur was her mind coping with the trauma of what just happened. Bottom line she didn't know him as a kid, because adults were boring except mom, dad, and Lizzie.

3. In the ten years of her stay in Rutledge, a good portion of those years, Alice barely talked and was in a catatonic state. She started speaking through drawings (which is mentioned in extra content in Dr. Wilson's casebook) and Alice drew pretty frequently. She's actually very talented in drawing and painting! Despite it being one of the more vocal, the biggest way she would communicate in Rutledge, Alice isn't very deterred away from drawing and painting. She's really learned to pick it back up again in Asgard thanks to Leonardo, Sandy, and Rapunzel. Alice really likes art! I like to think she's a naturally creative person, even an artist in her own way; and I think Wonderland is a reflection of her creative nature.

4. Despite her aversion to fire, when she was released, Alice actually stood accused of setting her family's home on fire and killing everyone, which is mentioned in the interactive app, Alice: Madness Returns Storybook. I'm personally not sure why that would happen other than I'm assuming that she stood accused for it simply because she was a woman and a very easy target because of her mental state. Supposedly, her family's lawyer, Mr. Radcliffe represented her and was convinced Alice was some sort of pyromanic and set the fire herself. Bottom line is, Alice is surrounded by crappy people.

5. Alice is a lot like her older sister, but a bit more darker. Her sister was more playful, but Alice even looks like her sister at her age, which would explain the unfortunate interest in her with Dr. Bumby. Fittingly enough, Alice put her older sister on a pedestal and looked up to her as the role model lady and wanted to be just as pretty as her. She has some of her sister's mannerisms, but tends to be a bit more fiery and blunt than Lizzie was. This is also why Alice has become very, very protective of children, because she still wants to be like Lizzie in the aspect of assuming a big sister role.

6. I mention it many times, but Alice is TINY, she's very petite. Alice is almost the same height and build as tunsofpun/Ellie, which may give her the appearance of someone three years younger than she should be. Your characters are free to assume or already assume she's around 16, but she's actually 19. Which is why Alice is often referred as a child in her world, despite her insistence she's not. Part of the reason why is the malnutrition, stress, trauma, and abuse she endured in Rutledge. I think if you grew up in a horrible and dark environment, it will effect your physical growth. Alice isn't going to grow anymore.

7. She was never taught how to fight with a knife, she learned on her own by attacking staff members of Rutledge. She fights good, but honestly can do better (really, though, Wonderland is her imagination) despite what she can do in Wonderland. She's very erratic and self-destructive in her fighting and would like nothing more than to really hurt her opponents slowly and painfully in the worst way possible because they dared even bother looking at her in the first place. Currently, she's starting to understand she can't be doing that in Asgard.

8. Alice doesn't really like doctors, at all, of any sort. Time lords are okay now! A big reason was, again, her treatment for her burns in the infirmary and in Rutledge. It doesn't matter how nice you are, Alice is going to be very suspicious of you; she'll be formal for the sake of formal, but at the end of the day, she doesn't want to have anything to do with you. Alice doesn't dig medical or mental treatments simply because she's been an experiment of all of her doctors' tests in a primordial Victorian area where lobotomies and other horrible treatments were commonplace. Especially when you were considered to have female hysteria. (Yeah, be warned if you look that up, it's shitty and messed up)

9. Not surprisingly, Alice has no self-confidence whatsoever. If you look at the difference between herself and the real world, you'll see she looks healthier in Wonderland. She doesn't think she's very pretty and wishes she was or that she's super skilled in anything. Alice sees herself as fairly plain and wishes there was more. She did admire Rapunzel a lot in her art, honesty, kindness, and how pretty she was to her. But it's not in a sense that "I want to be pretty for boys" more like she's been through so much, came out of a fire and has scars, and was in Rutledge for so long that she thinks she's ugly.

10. Alice prefers Asgard over London any day for multitude of reasons. Mainly because Asgard from her view is completely non-patriarchal, the folks are from various walks of life and how different they are. In Victorian England, it's not a very kind place for an unmarried 19 year old woman, much less one with such a history in a mental asylum. She was in the lower class, in poverty, and was almost starving away. Here, she can be independent and not worry about harsh judgments, despite being in the middle of a battle and having curve balls thrown at her. I think it will strengthen her resolve and help her recover from terrible things in her life.

...and now I want to write fic where they go back home and in court Maglor suddenly shows up and demands that she be released into his custody for 'rehab' except all he does is stick her on the fastest ship out of there and get her away from her horrible life D=

[becauseichooseto]

1. When trying to hide from the grim spectre of Irving Braxiatel of Benny's universe, he went by Irving McCarthy. Alas, Irving is a deeply uncommon name.


2. Braxiatel graduated top of his class with a handful of firsts.


3. Braxiatel has been breaking the first law of time seen he was at the Academy (hence why he didn't entirely trust his elder self).


4. Brax sold the contents of his Collection to Arkadian. Given Arkadian's subsequent death, it is unclear what happened to the contents, or if they go to his numerous ex-wives.


5. Brax was in love with Romana as her teacher, but didn't act on it except for being 'wretched and obsequious' or flirting with Alt!Romana I. (Which he was incorrigable about.)


6. Brax's favourite Earth style era is France during the reign of King Louis the Fourteenth


7. Brax is a big fan of jacuzzis.


8. Brax is someone who can drink to excess without feeling much. This was hampered by Asgard, but he's by no means a lightweight.


9. He's a gourmand and is vaguely disappointed to find not everyone is.


10. He can play many instruments and indeed is a decent artist; he simply prefers to be a listener than a doer.

[bythewaves]

... Jacuzzis. Really????

Jack Frost (RotG)

[2cool4guardian]

1. He doesn't remember much from his human life, just the little bits he got from his teeth. I do have headcanon for it though! His name was Jackson Overland, his birthday was December 21st (see what I did there). His staff looks like a shepherd's crook because that's what it is, he was in charge of the sheep for his village. His favorite color back then was blue - current Jack also likes it, but his new favorite is white (like the snow).

2. His favorite animals are penguins! But he's fond of all winter creatures, from polar bears and wolves to white rabbits and snowy owls. The animal that represents him, though, is the Arctic fox.

3. Jack has a decent singing voice! Nothing spectacular, but good enough. He had to keep himself busy all those years, after all. He likes to somehow swing his body to the rhythm of music too, and he's damn smooth, but don't ask him to actual dance, especially with someone else. (btw this was headcanoned before I found evidence -see 1:15-)

4. His fun magic isn't brain washing or anything like that. A fanon once compared it to catnip, and I guess that's close enough. What Jack does is pushing your other mood away (be anger or sadness or whatever) and bring fun out. Think of it like fishing in the mood pool. If a person can't have fun, then his magic won't do anything. And each person has different ways of having fun, too, and that's why Jack doesn't like using his fun magic on adults very much. Their way of having fun is not PG-13.

5. He doesn't nip noses, but he does poke them. It's one of the few skin spots that people leave uncovered during winter. He has a love/hate relationship with that song, btw. He likes being mentioned, but now everyone mentions the nose-nipping thing whenever he introduces himself. He outright hates that stupid snowman too.

6. He's pissed off 90% of the magic world. Nessie will eat him next time she sees him.

7. As a spirit, he doesn't need to sleep or eat, but he's able to. Sleeping came when he used his powers too much, as a way to recover energy, but he couldn't dream. He liked eating every now and then for the kicks of different tastes, and tried everything at least once. He hates spicy and warm stuff for obvious reasons, and he doesn't like salt either, so it's more common for him to go for sweets. His favorites are cold things: ice-cream, popsicles, smoothies, frapes, etc. He doesn't approve of alcohol, it makes people dumb.

8. He knows winter has caused many deaths. He still keeps going because he tells himself he can change that, he can teach people how to have fun with it instead.

9. He has zero interest in romantic relationships. His life is dedicated to winter and children. He doesn't know if he can have sex and he isn't interested in finding out. No, not even here in Asgard.

10. He doesn't like the heat but he does like the beach! He enjoys riding and freezing the waves. He only goes there at night or during winter, mind you, since beach sun is really, really annoying.

[palebee]

You've been to Antarctica, then? What is it like?

[snugglesjugs]

1. Aladdin was raised in the equalizing of limbo (the holy palace) with only the Ugo the djinn and random bits of souls as companions.

2. Money is an odd concept for Aladdin and he tends to spend more than necessary because of it.

3. Aladdin knows how to ride a horse and milk animals, this came from his stay with former nomadic tribe that adopted him as their own.

4. Aladdin has felt up men before his sense of personal space is interesting to say the least. Once he was simply just curious about a guy’s manboobs and another time he was seeing if someone was a boy or a girl. In Asgard alone, during one curse event, he has pinched the butts of quite a few guys, realizing that guys can have nice butt too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

5. In Asgard one way he spends his time is hanging with lady attendants at the bathhouse. To him they’re just a bunch of fun pretty ladies.

6. Aladdin has a thing for dress up and fashion he’d probably try anything once just for the fun of it, even if it comes off as odd. When he wear his school uniform he doesn’t wear pants, the uniform itself is a black robe and witch hat. Personal touches are fine as long as the uniform is worn and Aladdin chose to forgo pants.

7. Aladdin has many different pets in Asgard; a lion, an ox, a weird bear, a house cat and three magical walking chests.

8. The turban he keeps on his head is actually his flying carpet; he doesn’t use it as much since he’s learned to fly on his own.

9. He has read thousands books during his stay in the holy palace.

10. Aladdin was originally meant to be a girl by the Mangaka, the bandages he wears area carry over form that originally concept. It's also why he looks so androgynous.

Clara Oswald | Doctor Who

[bossily]

1. Clara wears dresses/skirts 99.9% of the time. And about 90% of the time said dresses/skirts are paired up with amazing boots and dark jackets. She wears a good deal of jewelry too, and while her makeup isn't over the top it's very obvious that she's a put together person that wants to look presentable. She doesn't put a lot of thought into looking pretty as much as following her own personal style she's developed that she feels expresses herself. She believes that anything someone can do in trousers, she can do in a skirt just as well if not better.

2. Her mother died the same day new!Who started back up, so people on tumblr like to believe her mother was killed in the explosion or the auton chaos that happened in the first episode of the Ninth Doctor's run. Regardless of how her mother passed away, her loss has created a lot of attachment issues for Clara. She doesn't like letting people in close to her, because she's afraid of losing them. Eleven's recent regeneration in canon will probably make her feel this even more strongly.

3. The reason she's focused on making a souffle is because she wants to perfect her mother's recipe, not necessarily because she loves souffles. She doesn't even necessarily love baking and is actually horrible at all forms of anything to do with using an oven or a stove, but she's determined to one day get her mother's recipe right.

4. She's got a major soft spot for kids, particularly ones who look as if they've lost their way. She has some serious mother instincts on her side and getting a chance to take care of kids who need it make her feel like she's useful and has some kind of momentary purpose.

5. Her mother's 101 Places to See Book is her security blanket back home, and it is in Asgard now too since she got it back recently. It even had the leaf that belongs to her parents inside so she will guard that book and leaf with her life.

6. Her father used to be the most attractive man on Doctor Who. Then the Christmas Special happened. Sure, the death of his wife might have aged him a lot but Clara's secretly hoping she has more of her mother's genes than her father's.

7. She has no issue punching guys in the arm when they make her angry or she's playing around with them, but she doesn't realize how hard she hits or how her tiny hand is so bony it feels like a small dagger stabbing someone when she hits them.

8. Clara hates boy bands, being forced to sing, the way kid's movies give children unrealistic expectations, most romantic comedy movies, history lectures, feeling lost, intergalactic theme parks, when the TARDIS moves her bedroom and hides it from her at night, black licorice, and when people assume she is too small and simple or sweet to be intelligent or brave enough to fend for herself or take care of others.

9. Clara is very bubbly and bouncy on the outside, but it is a carefully crafted mask that covers the fact she's a control freak that's desperately trying to cling hold of any sense of logic and reason she can make out of the things that happen around her. She's generally more afraid of all the bad things that tend to happen in the world around her than she wants to let on, because she likes appearing in control at all times. And when Clara doesn't have control over her life, she freaks out. She is such a control freak that everything in her bedroom in Asgard has a specific place and if anyone moves anything she will notice right away. She probably also is the one that cleans the entire who!House with no complaint because she likes everything done a certain way.

10. She is the boss. Even the Doctor has said so. She's definitely on the bossy side but manages to continually get away with it probably because she's really adorable and people think she's joking around.

[proudofwhatiam]

History lectures are how one learns history, though.

natasha romanova || mcu

[redhourglass]

did someone ring for headcanon? i'll try and keep winter soldier spoilers out of this.

one. just like natasha's job in asgard, she's actually tended bar while undercover before and is surprisingly good at it. she mixes her own drinks when she's at home and can sometimes be persuaded to make some for others but not tony stark because he's icky.

two. natasha cannot have children due to experimentation that was done to her in soviet russia. this same experimentation also contributes to her looking so young and her reflexes, which are at the limit of human capability without being considered 'super-human'.

three. she respects nick fury a lot more than she lets on and would only admit it under extreme duress.

four. teasing the members of the avengers is how she shows she cares; if she doesn't like you, she doesn't waste her time on you. it's as simple as that. if she's driving you up a wall, it means you're someone important to her.

five. natasha can dance ballet. it's part of her residual memories from being brainwashed in the soviet union. she does it rarely.

six. natasha is fluent in several different languages, including latin, italian, russian and english.

seven. natasha is capable of maintaining several different covers at one time, in many places around the world. she doesn't find this difficult, though it can lead to a sense of identity loss should any large change happen in any one of her covers.

eight. natasha doesn't know her true birthday. she never celebrated growing up and the information may have been lost when she defected to the united states; however, she does know her year of birth, 1984.

nine. her favourite drink is a white russian. yes, she's aware of the irony.

ten. an ideal night would be kicking back on the couch with chinese, a nice movie (maybe foreign) and a friend (frequently clint barton).

Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4

[windbreak]

Mostly unsubstantiated headcanon, because I do what I want :T

1. The headphones (and accompanying slim mp3 player) are pretty much a habitual part of his getting dressed in the morning. It'd take conscious plans to go somewhere or do something that could obviously damage them before he'd think about leaving them at home. He bought this particular pair out of his savings a couple of months into high school, a couple of months before he moved out of the capital, because he liked how they looked. Before then, he was frequently seen with a pair of white earbuds that were a birthday present of some kind.

2. He's not a magician. At best he picked up a few card tricks from briefly obsessed friends in middle school to try and impress girls, but he'd fumble them nowadays, both because he's largely forgotten them and because sleight of hand is a bit much to expect from a dude who sometimes falls into bins. Souji is a lot better at that kind of thing, anyway.

3. He didn't grow up with animals, so can get a little nervous around them sometimes, especially the bigger ones and, in Asgard, stray cats. A couple of the friends he first made after moving to a rural town picked up on this very quickly, but these days he's somewhat more inured to pranks like hiding frogs in his hoodies and will just whine about it instead of freaking out like he used to. While he'd claim he doesn't otherwise have much opinion on any animals either way (what is he, a girl??), he does find some types of dogs cool.

4. In school, he dozes off slightly less during classes like maths or chemistry, and finds the hard sciences the most straightforward to cram for. His grades in those are still average at best, though; the subjects he might have had actual aptitude for are all the ones he doesn't give a shit about. He hasn't been attending school in Asgard, because effort.

5. His music tastes are eclectically terrible, although his collection shows tendencies towards surprisingly girly bubbly J-pop, movie and videogame soundtracks, and Western artists he knows nothing about besides the names but will happily pretend otherwise. ...And things with easy guitar riffs that he can imitate. He's only added to it a little since arriving here, on account of being distracted.

6. He's an only child. The wild bear he ended up adopting halfway through high school doesn't count.

7. He deals with hot weather better than cold weather temperature-wise, but he's still a pretty big fan of snow in general, if not of shovelling driveways. On the other hand, rain and fog continue to bother him a bit.

8. Although he's genuinely laid back, he has something of an absolutist streak when it comes to morality. It can and occasionally does get the better of him, like the one time he tried to argue Souji into murdering a murder suspect (he's never living that one down).

9. When it comes to food, he's pickier about texture than taste, and he's damn picky. Even so, he will reasonably happily eat a much wider variety of stuff than he'd let on. Not that he has a choice - he more or less knows his way around a kitchen and can help out if pushed, but is far too unmotivated to cook properly himself.

10. He's got a nurse fetish. (This one is canon.)

just 5 for now

[izanyagi]

What would you suggest for me to listen to?

[Souji's more of a manga and game person.]

All I have is the Power Instinct soundtrack that came free with the game.

September | Fringe

[quantumtangled]

1. September has a kid! He's a little clone-baby who September kidnapped from the future and hid in the past for his own protected. The last time September saw the kid he was going off to live with a foster family. And be adorable.

2. He has shit decorating skills. And likes newspapers. Okay, enough screencaps.

3. He's sort of obsessed with Walter Bishop, to the point that in his top secret very important notes of historical events also has lists of Walter's favorite things, music, movies, food etc etc. This is canon.

4. In Asgard, he has to sleep, when he hadn't slept before in his life. It really bothers him, almost like a phobia without the fear, poor baby.

5. He doesn't feel pain, hot or cold, or taste. Or smell.

6. The decade/century he came from is pretty miserable. No sun because of the insane amount of pollution, no plant or animal life. It's not shown in canon what they ate, but it must be horrible. Not that they can taste. They also had to alter themselves to be able to breathe in very low oxygen environments, and as seen in canon, September can stand freezing temperatures that would kill anyone else in less than a minute, so the weather is probably awful too.

7. He hasn't actually been out of (past) America. There were twelve people on the 'science team', each assigned to a specific part of the world, and his was apparently the east half of the USA. August may have been the west half, but this is speculation.

8. He really really wants to 'get' a joke. Any joke. It is a mystery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9. Before being called September, he didn't have a name at all. Just a number. (Headcanon.)

10. He's most definitely catching emotions. In Fringe with all the wacky mad science, it's established that ideas and knowledge can be 'learned' from other people subconsciously and apparently psychically. September's consciously about to read minds as it is in canon, and so he's picking up all sorts of things. In Asgard without an implant in his head to suppress this stuff, he'll start growing a feel or two even faster. Happy cozy feelings. :3

[infomodder]

1) Will has seven dogs by the end of season one. Seven.

2) He found one of those dogs on the road and lured it into his car. The dog had a leash and collar but that did not stop him. Said dog then went home with him, got a bath, and became part of the family.

3) He has a problem where he ends up having terrible nightmares and wakes up to find himself having sweat through his shirt. This happens frequently. Never once does he think about just going to bed without a shirt, so he probably has a big stock in generic white undershirts.

4) He has a bad shoulder from being stabbed as a cop, which impacts how he has to stand to use a gun. Naturally, when he gets shot, it has to be in the same shoulder. Of course.

5) He drinks responsibly/in moderation. When asked about it because he was found sleepwalking, he says he only had a few "fingers" of whiskey, that he didn't drink excessively. Fingers. Fingers.

6) He is not actually a real FBI agent. Too unstable! He has the title of "Special Investigator" instead which kind of gives the game away whenever he's surrounded by a group of agents or around people who know how the system works. Temporary badge-holding teacher, that's him.

7) He was stalked (for lack of a better word) by a tabloid "journalist" who ran a website specializing in murders and murderers. The place that attracted serial killers and people who were a little too into them for it to be considered healthy. She would go to crime scenes and get pictures, post them, talk about it, etc., and generally be a pain in the ass to the FBI. She eventually focused on Will because wow so special, able to understand the insane? He must also be insane! She has no problems saying this in front of other people, which is really rude. It's not a very smart idea to piss off the guy who thinks about killing people for a living, but she does it anyway. Guess who's glad he doesn't have a laptop/computer at home so no one can email him a link or text him uhm Will Freddie Lounds wrote about you again she has pictures of you up I think you should see.

8) His mother left when he was young, so he never knew her. Makes for great nastiness in therapy.

9) Will's a walking encyclopedia of ridiculously brutal and horrifying murders. Not just how they happened, but how the killer felt/their thoughts while doing it. He's not that fond of it, but it does come in handy later when he needs to make an escape. He didn't kill anyone he just exited the scene in a similar fashion to a murderer who wasn't nice enough to just take out the people in the transportation vehicle with him and drop it off in an alley. Use your nightmare-inducing empathy skills for good, not evil. That's the lesson.

10) He is, in fact, a cannibal. Even the salads had people in them. Probably even the coffee/tea. It was an accident, every time it happened. Look, when you're told to go to a psychiatrist surgeon gourmet chef outstanding citizen reputable man mentor of a friend and he offers you breakfast, you just don't say no because his name is Hannibal and that rhymes with...mandible? Something. He'll figure it out one day.

[proudofwhatiam]

Going to bed without a shirt wouldn't really be proper. That's a reasonable choice.

Sebastian Moran | The Hound of the D'Urbervilles

[tigers]

Uh. none of this is headcanon, actually.

1. He only has one nipple. He lost the other one when a tiger clawed his chest. This is the most important fact and the most hilarious one.

2. His mother taught him to play and cheat at cards. It's his third favorite hobby, right behind murder and internally monologuing about Moriarty.

3. His first spoken language wasn't English; it was Farsi.

4. On the subject of languages, Moran seems to be at least partially fluent in a lot of them. Besides Farsi, he seems to know French, Italian, and German to some extent.

5. As a kid, he conked the phantom of the opera in the head with a rock. I'm serious. That Erik appears in the Hound of the D'Urbervilles. This isn't even a joke.

6. As he's aged, birthdays don't seem to mean much to him. It's only after eleven years of working with Moriarty that he realizes he's missed eleven birthdays and has obviously aged eleven years.

7. On the day of his father's funeral, he got drunk and was thrown in prison for the night.

8. He grew his muttonchops (in the book, his gr8 'stache) to hide a scar given to him by a gypsy who wasn't happy when he realized Moran had been fooling around with his sister whoops.

9. He has two sisters, Augusta and Christabelle. The seem to adore him, considering they still send knitted socks and jumpers to his posts on a regular basis. He seems to be less fond of them, having failed to inform them of his change of address. for ten years.

10. While still in the army, he won an Army-Navy swearing contest.ran won an Army–Navy outlasting everyone else "by a full half-hour of obscene profanity without repetition or hesitation, but with a great deal of deviation".

[proudofwhatiam]

Oh--were you raised in Persia, sir? I've never had a serious interest in the area, I'm afraid, but no doubt the language is lovely.

[drinkupmehearties]

1. There's actually good evidence that Jack was educated.

2. In the same vein, he speaks some latin.

3. When Jack was down in Davy Jones' locker, it was basically his own personal version of hell – endless hot sand where both the Black Pearl and himself were completely removed from the sea, and around fifty or so versions of himself (all different facets of his personality manifested). The latter part was also a bit of a spit in the face since he prides himself on being “the one and only” Captain Jack Sparrow.

4. He's a pirate, but isn't a huge proponent of committing actual violence against people. If given a chance, in a fight, he'll knock his opponent out or use other methods to avoid actually killing the person. There are a few exceptions to this, of course, like with Barbossa (who he shot in Isla de Muerta) or Davy Jones.

5. He had an extremely troubled and horrible relationship with his grandmother on his father's side.

6. Jack wears a long-sleeved shirt most of the time to cover some pretty nasty scars on his arm and chest. It's rare that he'll ever let people see them.

7. His father taught him to play the guitar a little bit.

8. Before becoming a pirate, Jack was actually an honest sailor working for the East India Trading Company. Since Jack was against slavery and instead decided to free a shipment of slaves instead of deliver them, Beckett had him branded as a pirate – and because of that, Jack embraced a life of piracy. He's figured by now that if people are going to think of him as a bad person and a scoundrel, he might as well live up to their expectations.

9. He has a few tattoos: one is a sparrow flying over a sunset, and a poem called the “Desiderata” on his back.

10. Jack actually doesn't like frogs or toads :T. Too slimy and squirmy.

[proudofwhatiam]

If the choice must be between slaver and corsair, I think one ought to pick piracy every time.
