HEADCANON MEME

1. Comment in the post listing your characters.
2. Other will reply with the name of one of your characters
3. You list three things that are your headcanon for that character.

Alternatively, someone can ask you a specific question about the headcanon you have for a certain character. This gives you the option to answer questions pertaining to certain subjects, or think about a question you hadn't considered/answered with your headcanon yet.

There's no limit to the topics or the amount of times someone can ask about a character. It can be huge things like how their life was before their canon, or something smaller like their first time making sweet sweet... um, baked goods for the family. As long as you think it's something that is accurate to your character but it isn't in their canon.

She was quiet, a good student, never particularly outgoing. She had a few friends at school, but she spent a lot of time as a girl playing outdoors by herself, making up games and stories to act out, and she was happy that way. She also liked reading, a hobby she did her best to pass on to John. She was never close to her dad, and he left her mom when Sarah was in high school, so it was just the two of them from then on until Sarah's mother was murdered in cold blood by a terminator a few short years later.

If anyone had tried to tell her what she'd grow up to be, she would have thought they were crazy. She never thought a lot about her future, but if pressed, she would have expected the normal go away to college, get married, have 2.5 kids story.

Sarah was thrown into motherhood without any kind of support system, and most of her focus is on preparing John for the war, but occasionally she'll have brief flashes of guilt for not giving him the same happy childhood that she had, and make an earnest if poorly-executed attempt to do something nice for him and create a good memory for him. Like buying him an unnecessarily large ice cream sundae that promptly makes him sick.

Medic doesn't handle it well, either. He needs things to take care of, in a sense, and he tends to snap when things get too peaceful.

When John was seven years old, she took him to the town where she grew up and showed him her old house and elementary school, then they went to the park where she used to play. She told him about his grandmother and answered his questions about her childhood and bought him a sno cone, and he played on the playground and ran around the park until dusk. He fell asleep in the car on the way out of town, completely exhausted and happy.

A month later, she tried to blow up Cyberdyne, got caught and was sent to Pescadero mental hospital.

She didn't see him again for three years.

I find the first dream very sexy and the other quite amusing. A plus.

So, because I'm curious - how does Shepard view her relationship with Garrus? Are they "lovers"? Are they bros-for-life-with-benefits? Or somewhere awkwardly in between?

[swarmfree.livejournal.com]

Garrus. How long is that tongue really?

[raptorwithagun.livejournal.com]

Just Red Snout. Sorry gaiz.

First: "Arresting" Doctor Heart, if that counts. Creepy Salarian asshat deserved what he got. And by "what he got" I mean "shot in the face".

Second: Tracking down a turian who was pushing drugs on the Citadel, in one of the less savory wards. Suffice to say it involved a foot chase through the Ward, some of the maintenance tunnels and finally ended in a balls-to-the-wall fistfight (by which I mean the criminal whined a lot and got beat up). Partially because the investigation had come together so perfectly before hand.

Third: Nailing a really irritating volus for tax evasion. White-collar criminals count.


Archangel: I imagine it came from one of the human residents of Omega, considering the role of Angels in human mythology (and my total lack of knowledge about quite a few other religions in the ME universe). Probably after he blew the heads off of some thugs.

That or some criminal asked him, "What the hell do you think you are, some kind of angel?" And he rolled with it.

Hicks: Smoking. Playing poker. And I'm going to say reading, because he does seem like the quiet, slightly-bookish type to me for some reason.

For as good as she is with brazen speeches, delicacy in words is not something Shepard is particularly skilled at. (Fortunately, most of their relationship exists in the comfortable silence...with occasional innuendo.)

She doesn't exactly have a word for her relationship with Garrus. Cop-out though that may be, excepting very few of her Alliance friends (Anderson and Chakwas, to be specific), she's known him longer than anyone and he has become a fixture in her life. Despite any possible circumstances, he'll always be her first officer. Because, while she likes to weigh the opinions of other people against her hard tactical data, his is the only one that carries any significant weight. Weight enough to really influence her decisions.

While she'd like to believe they have an understanding about the very real possibility of death in the near future, and are both capable of taking it like the soldiers they are, she'd be truly devastated to see him killed or gravely injured. I can't imagine she'd gotten any work done after he'd been shot in the face, not until he arrived snide and ready to work.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Brb. Picturing Garrus blowing the heads off some gang members and some little old lady with Magoo-vision calling him an Angel.

Also awesome.

1. He's more likely to take it if it's fish, but if it smells nice to him, he'll probably eat it. No one's offered him fried fish yet, so no.

2. I imagine that they get into the pantries just to see what it's inside them, check the refrigerator, play hide and seek, and track blood inside the house if York or Tucker isn't there to tell them not to. Many a afternoon has been spent with Junior climbing all over Red until she gets annoyed with him or they both fall asleep. I like to imagine that in the odd hours of the Day Cycle, they both get up, meet in the hallway, and run around like maniacs for no reason until Tucker and York tell them to shut up and go to sleep. The Red is like "CAN I SLEEP IN YOUR BED?" and that how, at 5 AM in the morning when Tucker gets up to take a leak, Red's head is laying across her legs and Junior is tangled in her hair.

3. Hal has never wished he was human because he's sure that, now that he has full mobility, being an AI is just better. He makes less mistakes, has contractual immortality, and can do things with technology that humans can't. The most un-HALish thoughts that he's had are fear when Dave was shutting him off and he could actually feel his mind slipping away. Recently, due to interacting with A.I. like Prism or SHODAN, he's actually taken more pride in the fact that he's an A.I. instead of human.

Three positively retarded facts about Tucker.

Things she never wants anyone to know.

Oh man, this is making my heart ache. :C Mayuuuuuuuu

[mcfussyfangs.livejournal.com]

1. The one time Tucker actually had sex with a dude, he finished early, she didn't get to have an orgasm, and he passed out on top of her for an hour.

2. Her first experience trying to climb high heels with stairs resulted in a nasty fall that ended in a broken nose. She has never worn heels since.

3. Tucker spend her prom night babysitting her sisters and brothers, and getting high as fuck alone in her room. She spent half that night out a window so her siblings wouldn't smell the smoke.

Also: Bow Chicka Bow Wow never solves anything, it only makes shit worse or pisses people off.
