IT'S TWO TICKETS TO THAT THING YOU LOVE!

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.

Followup, since you want to deeeelve and I'm nosy about everyone/everything/forever:

Three pieces of headcanon about Garrus and his dad. GO.

1. Garrus and his dad have a strained relationship these days. Of course, this is canon. However, I'm going out on a limb and saying that they haven't talked much, if at all, since Garrus dropped out of C-Sec. Most of his communication with his family is through his sister. So, his father and he are basically giving each other the silent treatment.

2. His dad is the one who taught him how to shoot and sparked his interest in rifles and sharpshooting. Took him out to do the tradition shooting/hunting thing and really encouraged him to get good at it when he went into the mandatory military service.

3. Garrus strained relationship goes back a bit further then his leaving C-Sec. They used to get into arguments about criminal justice, how to handle them and how the rules ought to apply. It's what led to the rift in the first place.

The idea of Garrus and his dad going shooting is awesome.

SO YOU GET MORE QUESTIONS.

What was the first thing Garrus ever killed? Did he feel awful or awesome about it? Did his mom cook it up and tell everyone to eat around the buckshot?

Also:

What was it like the first time he met an alien?

I'm going to say some sort of turian deer-equivalent. And yes, his mom cooked it. This was before she had a neurological disease.

Honestly, he felt proud. The idea of feeling shame for hunting and for killing a dumb animal never really occurred to him. Just like the idea of feeling guilty for snuffing out criminal scum never really occurs to him.

The first time he met an alien... probably a volus or one of the other turian client races. He was a bit weirded out, but turians are pretty much prepared to enter the galactic stage as it is. So he got over it. Still a bit racist, though.
