HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Congratulations, you've survived another orbit around your planet's star! Now go celebrate it, you birthday guy/gal/non-binary pal!

RULES:

Post with your character, canon, and preferences - also just for fun, you can add their date of birth in the comments section. Feel free to headcanon or handwave the date if you don't know it.
Have fun!

OPTIONAL PROMPTS:
Birthday Party: Celebrate your special day with your friends or family! Reserve an event space or restaurant, celebrate at home, go out and celebrate in town, whatever you wish!
Surprise Party: Maybe your pal isn't the type to celebrate, never had a birthday party before, or you got someone or something special planned for them that you have to keep a secret until it's the right time.
Quiet Party: A more introverted variety. Staying at home with fewer people, having a less loud celebration with dinner, binge-watching, or just basking in each other's presence.
No Show: You had everything planned and prepared, but thanks to something coming up or maybe people just don't like you - nobody showed up for your birthday party. Maybe one friend is just late, or had a change of heart, or maybe pull in a stranger to celebrate with you.
Happy Holidays: Your birthday happens to fall on the same day as a holiday, so you either get to celebrate two things at once or have your birthday overshadowed.
Gift Giving: Part of what makes birthdays great! Is it something cheap, expensive, maybe even hand-made?
Wildcard!

[ Summary. He never gets to celebrate his birthday thanks to his work, so it would be a nice change of pace! But a quiet celebration or just a gift is more than enough to make him very happy. ]

[ He's the guy that goes around a week beforehand telling everyone his bday is coming up. ]

((He would 100% book himself for overtime on solitary work to avoid acknowledgement of his birthday.))

[ ooc : i had a thought for this, but wanted to first ask where he'd be hiding out doing solitary work - would he be on the island, or doing some field work in africa, or somewhere else? ]

((Where ever is more fun for RP purposes, haha! Most commonly on the island, doing something like perimeter checks or scouting some of the caves/outer areas. Africa could be anywhere as long as it keeps him alone.))

[ i might be very slow with replies for a few days but midnight's birthday is may 20th and i missed it! happy birthday to the most embarrassing person i rp. this is a party. please assume your character has alcohol (or sparkling cocktails for those who abstain). they are not at all obligated to know whose birthday this is or to have brought anything, midnight just likes to party. ]

( he doesn't really celebrate his own birthday, but hey! it's paimon's birthday today/tomorrow!! i'm open to it being a celebration for aether as well, though. )

( the doctor's birthday is probably classified, even to them... but they'll still enjoy a good quiet celebration with friends. )

[Another year of surviving devils-- time to paint the town red! Or just get wasted at home with friends :) ]

( I'm about to go on a tangent, I'm very sorry but also not sorry.

Heroes canon could not decide on Claire's birthday. Canon sources conflict each other, listing different dates between 1989 and 1991, with canon also offering various context clues that also conflict each other.

So I made the executive decision to headcanon her a birthday somewhere in the middle of the possible dates: July 30, 1990. I later realized during a rewatch that it doesn't fully line up with one of the canonical hints toward her birthday - in season two, Noah mentions that Claire was going to get a car for her birthday 'next month' and July isn't a good fit for that. But, in season one, she wears a class ring set with what appears to be a ruby, and that's the July birthstone.

My way of reconciling this while writing Claire is assuming that when she was given to the Bennet family by The Company at 18 months old, her paperwork was redone/faked. My general headcanon is that she isn't even sure when her real birthday is and probably doesn't really bother to celebrate it much.

All this to say: she'd love a little birthday cake and/or gift regardless of what day it is. :3 )

[ he's a fan of going all out. it's halloween, after all ! ]

[ lol ]

[ She celebrates her birthday month for sure. ]

( tends to pretend it doesn't exist, always surprised when anyone remembers. he doesn't feel he deserves the attention, but he wouldn't deny any effort someone else has put into it. heck, you might even convince him he's worth it, with the right words. )
