Comments

enjolras ] les misérables

[logomachist]

1. Deeply into popular music.

2. Formerly a fairly decent boxer.

3. Not such a spectacular dancer.

Caspian X | Chronicles of Narnia

[navixator]

a] Used to try to get pets to talk to him.

b] Participated in agoge as a child.

c] Grows a beard as king to better resemble his father.

d] Largest scar on his torso is from training with Drinian.

Florina | Fire Emblem 7

[shy_flier]

- She can out-drink some of the grown men she knows; Ilian mercenaries don't have the healthiest lifestyles, and peer pressure gets a girl.

- Given her strength average and build, Florina's fairly ripped by end-game.

- She makes it to FE6! Except whoops look at how many characters from 7 are dead by the end of that if not earlier.

Dazai Osamu | Bungou Stray Dogs | headcanon

[neverwashere]

1. Semi-selated to that one time he painted a self portrait in the Executives' office: after that phase, he burned all his works on canvas.

1B. He considered sniffing paint fumes, but decided the nausea and possible lung damage weren't worth it.

2. His driving style is influenced by arcade racing games, so he's banned from holding the steering wheel.

3. If he's interested in a movie, he'd rather watch it alone in his apartment. He tends to commentate on movies, and being in a movie theatre sets off his hyper awareness (that second one, he'd never admit to under normal circumstances).

4. He visited a certain grave a few days after Atsushi passed his entrance exam.

Rhys the Company Man | Borderlands

[10milliondollars]

1. Rhys plasters his office with the company-approved Handsome Jack posters. His bedroom, however, has the good stuff: a pin-up calendar, prints of naughty fanart, toys that may or may not be officially branded.

2. He absolutely has a skin-and-haircare routine. It's ritualistic and Vaughn teases him about how long it takes.

3. He carries tension in his shoulders and neck.

4. Put this boy in heels. His legs look amazing and he enjoys the attention it draws.

5. Despite being a tall, leggy boy, Rhys enjoys being the little spoon.

julian bashir ( star trek: ds9 )

[salutatories]

cw: mention of underage sex on #2. childhood medical trauma on #3.

1 ★ on rough nights, still occasionally sleeps with his old teddy bear.
2 ★ went through a very brief rebellious phase at fifteen. drinking, drugs, sex, skipping school, letting grades slip, attempts to run away from home, the WHOLE SHEBANG. it lasted less than a semester because it hurt him too much to be disappointing his parents, even as angry as he was at them. he cleaned up his act of everything but kept the sex from then on out.
3 ★ his childhood fear of doctors (and subsequent desire to know all that they know) actually started when he went through two months of treatments and testing, poking and prodding, side effects and sickness at the hospital on adigeon prime when he was six years old.

Jemma Simmons | Agents of SHIELD

[biochemistry]

1. Per canon, she had scoliosis as a child and had surgery for it. It doesn't physically affect her really at all anymore, but she remembers when it did.

2. She's autistic, has anxiety and mild OCD, and suffers from PTSD even though she doesn't like to admit it. She doesn't actually talk about any of this unless she trusts someone with the information and trusts that they won't treat her strangely because of it.

3. She's significantly kinky (submissive as can be) and rather obsessed by being good for her someone, but inherently and also thanks to some of that aforementioned PTSD she's got some very hard lines and won't play that way if she doesn't inherently trust her partner. (Trust is a big thing for her.)

4. Per comic canon, she initially told her parents that she was a corporate party planner to disguise her involvement with SHIELD. Per television logic, this ruse didn't last, but they actually approve of this more because of their high expectations for their genius children (of whom she's the smartest and also youngest).

5. She knows Latin and can fake her way through most Latin-based languages, and understands science terms in many other languages, but she's not entirely fluent in any non-English languages but French. Learning some is on her to-do list for when the world is finally saved and she has time to do things for fun again.

AU!Tatsuya Suou/Persona 2 Eternal Punishment/OTA

[thissideonly]

Whoooo boys, do I have a page on it already on his journal! But since I'm generous, I'll give a random factoid per AU I have enough ideas on.

Personalock/Der Sonstig Doppelgänger: This Side isn't afraid of telling off Other Side of being too reckless. Considering canon, he has a good reason to do so.
A Gear of Fortune: He's a Sega fanboy, as a result of Sega buying Atlus. Is also a very, VERY big fanboy of Sega music.
Alolan Mechanic: His pseudo dub name, Taliesin Shaw, was inspired by Taliesin Jaffe, who's an awesome actor and part of Critical Role. There's also Lie and Sin in the name, perfect to tie in his original canon...
Fire Emblem Fates Revelations: Tatsuya is distantly related to the royal family of Hoshido, and Hana is his cousin.

Kishin Asura ΦΦΦ Soul Eater

[strongestcoward]

1. Asura has a wide variety of artistic interests, but most people’s minds can’t handle his own creations. Either comically so or utterly mind destroying. His illustrated children’s book “A Simple Story About Killing People” was used as part of Medusa’s experiments of Crona.

2. Though Asura is superhumanly cowardly, he is not afraid of number one scary thing- clowns. He loves circuses and clowns in particular. As a result he also loves terrible jokes and slap stick humour, especially with whacky sound effects.

3. Whilst he didn’t organise them into a formal army, in the far back olden days he had a huge number of followers that was mostly made up of monstrous races that wished to live free of laws such as vampires, dragons, werewolves, demons, sorcerers and giants. Supposedly he would reward them for giving him souls.

Ignis Scientia | FFXV |

[fairygodspecs]

Main one. As a Royal care taker and preparer of meals, Ignis is well knowledgeable when it comes to poisons and medicinal effects as a safety measure against assassination attempts.

He's also a taste tester for any meals when the Chocobros head out, again to protect his future King (and friends) against attempts on lives.

Super dark,but I really love exploring this idea.

Yosuke Hanamura | Persona 4

[nohomomura]

1. Yosuke is actually an anxious ball of energy with super low self esteem issues. Even though he puts on this goofy and cheerful face, he can be anything but sometimes.

2. Related to the first point, Yosuke gets real panicky, escalating to panic attacks in the worst case. He becomes overwhelmed by overstimulation very easily and needs breathing space. Tries to cope by blocking the world out with his head phones and even sheltering in small places like closets and storage cupboards until he relaxes.

3. In denial and super confused about his tendency to be attracted to the same sex (if the username is anything to go by.)

4. Big gamer. Loves escaping into video games and it allows him to not only be the hero, but feel accomplished with achievements and high scores. Really knows his games from retro to current gen.

Minako Arisato | Persona 3 Portable

[hasthepotential]

1. She loves eating, but her favorite food is omurice with mushroom demi-glace!

2. She regularly works out with Sanada-senpai.

3. She's overly friendly and is aware she comes off as a flirt and just rolls with it.

Engineer | Team Fortress 2

[spah]

1. Occasionally writes music. Some pieces were for love interests from over the years. They're mostly wordless. You'd never know it was something was meant for a girl he liked when he was 17 unless you knew what he named it. His best one is "Catalina".

2. Likes to cook.

3. Has a nasty scar on the left side of his hip from fighting off an late-night intruder when he was young. Said intruder was one of the Team Fortress Classic mercs. His father, the Engineer at the time, was pissed.

4. One of his first inventions was a literal gravy train. When he was 4, he hooked up his toy train and a gravy boat to the dining table. It worked for about a minute until it derailed and ruined the table cloth.

5. Likes frogs. He just thinks they're neat.

6. Evelyn, his younger sister, can outdrink and outcuss him any day.

Spy | Team Fortress 2

[crabbmarche]

1. Canon: he's actually a pretty damn good teacher. Unfortunately, this comes at the price of his teaching methods being... extreme (i.e. electroshock treatment to teach someone piano).

2. His fingers and knuckles are covered in tiny little scars from when he was first practicing flipping with his knife.

3. Doesn't have much of a sweet tooth except for when it comes to Nutella and Pêche Melba.

4. He doesn't have any surviving family, but he's inherited a sizable estate and the family vineyard and winery, hence his snobbery when it comes to wine. He pays a maintenance crew to maintain the estate but very rarely goes there himself.

5. And speaking of wine: he prefers red wine in general, syrah in particular. He absolutely can't stand pinot gris or rosé wines.

[spah]

I'll be damned. Never woulda figured, but I ain't surprised neither.

[look the team knows nothing about Spy's life besides Scout, he's got a reason to hone in on this]

[crabbmarche]

[There's a reason for that. Still, this isn't the most embarrassing thing about him someone else could find out.]

It doesn't pertain to what we do here. Why bother mentioning it?

[spah]

Boy, I've known you four years and I didn't even know you had salt-'n-pepper hair 'til two.

[gray hair up for debate

engie just think he saw it]

It's just interesting.

[crabbmarche]

...I doubt there will ever be an opportunity for the winery to be 'mine', per se. As I'm sure you're aware, we'be been kept rather busy.

Yes. Thank you for reminding me to buy hair dye, frangin.

[spah]

Does it still run?

[engie snorts] Shaving's cheaper, if you gotta.

[crabbmarche]

Some men can handle the shaved look. I am not one of them.

[5. He had to try the Agent 47 look for a mission once, long before he worked for RED. Never again.]

Yes. I handed it off to some family friends until I either retire or die. We split the profits. My name is on quite a few of the bottles they sell - figuratively, of course.

[crabbmarche]

Hm. Did you ever find out why?

[spah]

[That's fair. 47's the only one who can pull off that look.]

... Huh.

Sounds like somethin' to go back to when you're done with this. I've heard a lot about old, well-to-do retired folks that get restless and try startin' a business. You're about five steps ahead.

[And, though he doubts he'll get an answer--]

What's it called?

[spah]

Documents, mostly. Stuff Pop couldn't afford to leave alone when he came home for a weekend.

Can't say I'd do it, but Pop didn't trust much. They didn't have a lot of ceasefire rules back then either, and the other guy was eager to please.

[crabbmarche]

Perhaps. You don't really quit this line of work, but it's a nice daydream.

[And there's the coy smile. Oh, Dell. Bless your heart.]

That would be telling.
