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.

Shepard: If she could try tapping any female on the Normandy, who would she pick?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

OH Damn, that there is a tough choice.

►Samara would break her neck. You know, for JUSTICE or something.
►Morinth is fulla death.
►Jack...DID want to play pirates, but that girl is so unstable even Shepard linefaces.
►Miranda has a great rack, but screams high maintenance.
►Chakwas is all about Mrs. Robinson, and that's kind of hot, but she dun been kidnapped.
►Tali would get sick and die and we can't have that.
►Kelly is already feeding the fish.


TL;DR

►Kasumi. Her Japanese is awful, but what's hotter than crashing a fancy party with the intent to wreck up the place?

[swarmfree.livejournal.com]

Aw yeah, Kasumi. 8) I approve of this.

[swarmfree.livejournal.com]

One more to kill time! What does Shepard think Veetor looks like under the helmet? What about Tali and Reegar?

[screeee.livejournal.com]

How obnoxious does Shepard find Virgil and has she thought of kicking him to the curb?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

So far, on the list of irritating people Shepard has dealt with (excluding those who shoot at her. If Virgil wants to start shooting at her, we will have to recalculate this score), on a scale of 1 (Being Conrad Verner) and 10 (Being The Turian Councilor), Virgil ranks a nice even 6 (Somewhere just beneath the Reporter-Disingenuous-Assertions).

He's irritating, and man she'd really like to shoot him in a few places. Also, that one time she wanted to take a shower and found him naked, sleeping in the master bathroom was not cool. But, overall, she's unlikely to kick him out.

If she gets to the point where he's got to go, it will be out a window rather than to the curb.

[screeee.livejournal.com]

Did he see her tits?

[blood-on-torfan.livejournal.com]

Shepard - Dumbest thing she did as a FNG cadet.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Start a fight in the mess with an L2 Adept who cut the line. Cracked him across the back of the head with a lunchtray and got thrown out a second story window.

Then she had to clean the glass up, of all the goddam indignities.

[blood-on-torfan.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

Another question, though a little more serious. did Ren-Jane have parents she knew or was she an orphan since she could remember? If she was an orphan, did she ever want loving parents or never really thought about it?

Cindy: Last clear memory of her dad
Dug: Favorite thing to smell (meat doesn't count)
Shepard: Most meaningful thing she's said to Garrus

[thiswaydaddy.livejournal.com]

I HAVE A SAD ICON FOR THIS:

Cindy's last real memory of her dad was at the beach. He helped her build a sandcastle and a wave knocked it down. When she started to cry, he bought her an ice-cream and they drove just down coast to visit her grandmother. Cindy was entranced by the horses and her dad put her on one and let her ride it (insofar as sitting on a horse is riding one). It was the first and last time she ever did this. Her dad was so proud when he took the picture.


Dug's favorite smell, above all other smells, it the smell of tennis balls, fresh out of the tube. That's the best.


The most meaningful thing Shepard has ever said to Garrus? Headcanon meme, so headcanon go: PICKS THE SIMPLER ANSWER. /SOB, all my headcanon has the meaningful parts unsaid.


"Why do I put up with that Cerberus asshole? I don't know, guess I feel like I owe him one.

How's the scar healing?"

Three Kaylee facts.:D

[cupcake-dress.livejournal.com]

Kaylee thinks the station is super neat, but is freaking out that everyone lives so far apart. She's a little better now that Euphie lives with her...but not waking up to see someone tromping around in underwear or have someones hanging wet laundry in her face is really starting to bum her out.

Kaylee secretly stalks all the cute little critters on the station, but she can't keep anything bigger than a goldfish alive...so she watches them from afar. She's deathly afraid she'll kill them all if she brings them home.

She's never met an alien and she really doesn't want to. She has this irrational belief that they're all going to be terrifying murder rapists (and now that they have acid blood and want to burst out of her chest from vents somehow).

Since that last one wasn't a secret, have a bonus:

She's pretty much come to terms with the fact that Rookie isn't Simon, but that doesn't mean she isn't willing to stalk him. Also if she figures out where the Halo house is, she can bring them cookies and hopefully harass the not!Captain and not!Jayne.

Most and least ladylike things Shepard ever did?

DAMMIT LIVEJOURNAL. WHY DID YOU EAT MY POST?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

/SIGH. /Rewrites it. /Is sad because it is, inevitably, not as good. B[

So, FUNNY STORY, both of these things occurred on the same day, at the very same party.


It was right as good ol' Captain Anderson was given command of the Normandy SR1 (ol'Explody). The Alliance Brass threw a fancy party at the Luna training facility, to commemorate the event, and recruits and officers were tripping over themselves to be there. Thankfully, there were no turians present or this would have likely developed into an incident.



The most ladylike thing Shepard has ever done, to date: Shepard arrived unarmed, in a fancy evening gown (just like everyone else, dammit), and clinked a little tiny silver dessert spoon against a champagne flute to get everyone's attention before demurely delivering a polite and reasonably volumed speech on Anderson's achievements. She also didn't throw back the whole drink at once when they applauded (just sipped the damn thing), and was damn proud of herself for it.

Then there was dancing and some other fancy party crap.



The least ladylike thing she's ever done to date occurred a little later on in the evening. A caveat: with constant, free alcohol flowing to a room full of war-scarred veterans and flush-faced recruits, someone really should have seen this coming lightyears away.

As it was, Shepard had actually started to enjoy this particular soiree. The fancy alcohol was alright, the food was decent, and she was beginning to really embrace the completely impractical slinkiness of her dress for the evening. But, just as she reached this state of universal equilibrium, some flatfooted dumbfuck infantryman stepped on the train of her slinky evening wear and the 'provocative slit' up the front of it joined the 'plunging neckline' and her gown suddenly became a very loose coat.

Rather than dismiss herself with grace and dignity (because no story about drunken marines should ever conclude in such a banal fashion), Shepard took the asshole by the collar and promptly tore his fancy party clothes down the middle. She then proceeded to elbow him in the face, thus ruining her long opera gloves by getting blood on them.

The infantryman, who had been attempting to apologize but who had been rendered incapable of finding words with enough swiftness or contrition due to the copious amounts of alcohol in his system, was suddenly livid. He clutched his nose and called her a name usually for batarian child rapists, and the brief altercation bloomed into a full blown, all out, mostly naked, drunken-space-marine-barfight.

A good deal of smashed glass, a few sympathetic brawls, and a chair biotically hurled through a bulkhead later, and this is why Shepard is never invited to any fancy political functions in Mass Effect 1 or 2. Ultimately, Lieutenant Alenko had to break it up (with his brain), and despite himself, Anderson was very amused.

(Also, AS I WAS SAYING WHEN LJ CRASHED THE FIRST TIME: my browser wants to autocorrect batarians (http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae186/hikuswing/batarians.jpg) to bavarians (http://i970.photobucket.com/albums/ae186/hikuswing/BavarianStrollers.jpg). No, computer, they are not the same thing. No matter how often you crash, it will not be true.)

/goes to hell

If Shep could tap any girl on Sacrosanct, who would it be and whyyyy and what would the dialogue tree look like

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

OH TOUGH.

At the moment, Sarah Connor. Because they're bros and moms are hot.

This conversation's a little one sided. Shepard dialogue options:

►You got a minute to talk.
►So what do you do out here, when you aren't hunting AI?
►Sounds like a pain in the ass.
►Looks to me like you should ta e a break.
►‼RENEGADE INTERRUPT‼

And cue some sex.

[i-would-kindly.livejournal.com]

Any weird dreams that Shepard has had about anyone on the station?

Stupidest thing Dug has done on the station?

How much does Kaylee pay attention to the network and has it led her to dislike anyone?

Is Cindy stalking anyone yet?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Shepard has had some really weird dreams about Jorge and the various attendees of her kegger. Since she's not sure just how much of it is memory versus dream, she's keeping them to herself.

She had one really strange one about Sarah and her in 50's housewife dresses while T and Legion played out in the yard. That was pretty fucked.


Stupidest thing Dug has done on the station? Oh man, that's a good question. I'm sure he's killed himself trying to capture or defeat the local animals, at least once, if not multiple times. He's currently on the lookout for Omega, so if he finds 'im, that will then be the stupidest thing he's ever done.


Kaylee keeps it on and open pretty much all the time because she likes the chatter. It makes the station feel more cozy (read as: claustrophobic). Though she doesn't always pay full attention, she hears most of it. As to who she dislikes...though she'd balk if you called her racist, she hates all the alien folk on principle. You know. The chestbursting.

And Cindy is currently killing Parker, but she has it out for Jack and Parker and is convinced that she needs to track down Jorge because he's a stupid big daddy and needs a stern screeching at. She'll be stalking the halolz shortly.

[savor-last-shot.livejournal.com]

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?

/This tag brought to you by sappyness in space armor.

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

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.

Shepard: on what it was like to wake up dead.

Kaylee: three fun new things she likes here, and one she misses! (Can be people/events/other things than things, I'm not good with broad words sdjf)

Dug: the biggest bone he ever buried, OR: the one that got away.

Cindy: This song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8KfidcGl70), ring any bells?

[cmdr-renegade.livejournal.com]

Shepard, woman of many words:
"It sucks."

To be more elaborate, though: "It was a mile wide hangover punctuated by medical lights and some Australian woman yammering in my ear."


Kaylee enjoys the following:
► All the adorable critters.
► FRESH FOOD.
► Look at all the pretty technology she can take apart and put back together! (Probably.)

She misses her hammock and the engine room and the crew. Especially the crew. :C

Dug:
The biggest bone he ever buried got him in quite a bit of trouble. He took the femur of the skeleton bird and buried it behind the Spirit of Adventure. His master was not pleased so Dug went looking for the bird to prove that he was a good dog.


Cindy:



Or, in other words, yes. PS: she's totally going to stalk Moira if that kind of music is playing. FEELS LIKE HOME, DOESN'T IT?
