In Which Ash Blaze does something stupid.

Alright, time for some fun stuff here. Or not-so-fun stuff.

HEADCANON MEME TIME!

I know we all have our awesome canon bits we all refer back to, but what about stuff canon doesn't touch upon, but we, the player, do? We call that "headcanon". Basically here? If there's something about your character that is either fan accepted or part of how you play a character, list it here!

*made sure to cut off notifs here.*

Have fun with this!

oh god

um

A lot of Fletcher and Russel's backstory is headcanon between me and Lance. Some of it's also taken from the first of the light novels, which contradicts anime canon but is set in manga canon but has a few non-contradictory bits that we ganked.

That's basically what you get when you play a character who was in four episodes.

I did a list of random facts in a meme a while ago, but here I'll focus on the main headcanon bits that come up most often in my writing.

-It's never confirmed on-screen that Billy was bullied since his earliest school days and had a relatively lonely childhood, but it's a guess of mine and much of the fandoms'. He seems to have one or two nerd friends in school, but no one else outside of the Rangers. And no one except Trini seems to care when Bulk and Skull dump him in trash cans.

-Canon hints that the first five Rangers were friends for some time before becoming Rangers, but we're never told how or when they met. My headcanon is that they met some time in junior high, but I try not to be too specific in case anyone ever apps Trini, Zack, Kim, or Jason and doesn't approve of what I chose.

Trini-bonded over the use of long words.
Kimberly-brought to Billy by Trini, and she knew she liked him when he agreed to help with homework and proved to be a nice guy.
Jason-met when Jason intervened in a bully attack, and Jase introduced him to:
Zack-introduced to Billy by Jason. Amused by 'fun' applications of science.

-I inferred from some episodes (especially 'Island of Illusion' and 'Dark Warrior') that he has an inferiority complex stemming from his earliest Ranger days, afraid of feeling like a drag on the team's strength. He's improved greatly, but still suffers from this from time to time.

-And yes, I ship Billy/Trini, but I know that they were just great friends even if some of that time spent alone together seems really suspicious. If anyone ever apps her, I promise not to go all shippy (though I don't think I have to worry XD)

-My belief that he's good at most sciences but just average in Biology stems from 'Grumble Bee', when he got a simple question about bee anatomy wrong with a dumb mistake and ended up with a B.

Out of basically one scene and a misattributed quote I developed an extremely manipulative side to my Signum that never really totally went away when I realized the quote was misattributed.

I also like to play up her anachronistic qualities. Modern culture is weird to her. She's lived in it, she can deal with it, but it's not hers and she doesn't belong.

Other than that she's pretty standard, though.

Sheeana is stated to have "confused feelings" for Duncan Idaho in the books. I elaborated on that a bit. What exactly her reasons for stealing the No-Ship at the end of Chapterhouse Dune and running away from Chapterhouse are never revealed besides a general feeling of restlessness at confinement. In my headcanon, a signifigant portion of that is jealousy towards Murbella for "taming" Duncan. Also I elaborated on her bond with Darwi Odrade a bit.

Yuri seems to have very few hobbies in canon. Shoujo manga seemed a good thing for a little Japanese girl to like, and from it stems her love of matchmaking. Also Borg is not quite as much a dick as I make him in canon, but reasonably after a long time on Yuri's head, I surmised he would become one.

Lafiel has only one semi-romantic partner in canon. Her UST with Meluly is due to the Abh seeming to have very little in the way of set gender roles and homosexuality taboos, allowing most to naturally place themselves on the Kinsey Scale.

Isaac's parents are never shown or mentioned in the book. In my headcanon he is somewhat estranged from them, due to their dissappointment at his leaving the university to pursue a "crackpot theory". They are rather socially conservative immigrants from Gnurr Ket or Dreer Samheer, somewhere in Bas Lag's southern seas.

So, Sheik appears in nine cutscenes, six of which consists of 1) poetry, 2) a song, and 3) practically blinding Link with a Deku nut, and that's it, and Zelda in... *counts* three, and a bunch of stuff during the battle.

So, headcanon... *points to pretty much entire app*

I have way too much headcanon for Lyle. The reason? Even the Secret File on him will only allude to things, not tell you them. Because Lyle is So Super Secret that even the readers can't know his past.

Anyway, copied from my speculation post on Lyle's journal:

After Jacques' non-death, Lyle was made to keep quiet about what really happened or be charged with murder for setting the booby trap. Lyle felt horribly guilty and responsible and did some soul-searching. He had enjoyed a frivolous, risk-taking, fun life. But he decided at this point to use some of the skills and strings he'd gained as a top spy to work on something more important. He set his sights on the Durlan as a misunderstood people and convinced his superiors that it would be a good idea to send him to Durla. Durla was told he was a diplomat-in-training, following in his parents' footsteps, and Earthgov/the UP was told he was spying on the Durlans to see if they were dangerous. Lyle learned a lot and, of course, only told each side what he thought they needed to know.

Miku - My headcanon for Miku has some place in actual canon (mainly the novelization and character notes) that she had no friends except her brother, and that her time in school was very lonely.

She was just learning to drive at the time of her abduction, (hey, she had to make Rei's deliveries somehow) and lived in Mizuho, an area not within the big hub of Tokyo, but rather on the far outskirts. Driving actually terrifies her a little bit, and she's the type of person that will drive extra carefully.

Her hatred of her dishwasher and microwave likely comes from the fact that she's from 1988 and those things didn't have all the bugs worked out of them. Plus, if she had to pre-wash her dishes, she might as well go all the way with them. Besides, it gives her time to think and unwind (and also not get in Rei and Yuu's way if they want to be all lovey-lovey). Miku doesn't watch TV, really, though she does like to watch historical dramas (she has a thing for samurai and tragic romances, okay? ._.). Since canon never gave us an actual birthday, I put Miku's down as October 24th, 1969.

She likes eating pretty plain food (and can make onigiri like nobody's business), but will take the time out for things like spicy curry if she's feeling brave.

Sherry - Canon says that she's a latchkey kid, and Sherry herself admits to watching things like movies at home. She doesn't like chocolate milk because it's too sweet, but absolutely adores sour cream and onion potato chips.

When she was five and had chicken pox, William Birkin told her all about her virus and how it never really goes away, but goes into recession. Then, he proceeded to tell her all about the possible complications of the virus. She found it totally horrifying then, but has a better grasp and interest in it now.

She likes being smart - to her, it means she's doing something right, rather than getting in the way of things or bothering someone with what should really be "unnecessary" questions. This complex probably also comes from her genius father. This is why she knows the meanings to words like glomerulonephritis. She wants to be a doctor right now, but that'll probably change several times before she's an adult.

I don't know if my headcanon shares anything with fanon, due to have no idea if there even is still an active fandom for BB, but I've got a loooot of headcanon for Terry. Most of it dealing with why he got involved in a gang.

There's very little stated about his gang activity in the show. There's a few references to him having a record in season 1, he shows up on a list of potential gang members in s2, and Charlie Bigelow explains how Terry wound up in juvie in s3. My theory for it is that has to do with his parent's divorce (which also doesn't get much detail in canon, so I place it when he's about 13 years old or so), which was particularly rocky. It had a bad effect on him, so he started running away from home a lot. He wound up meeting Charlie this way, who introduced him to the gang. He joined because he felt like he didn't belong anywhere, and the gang gave him a sort of family. His heart wasn't really in the violence and stealing, though, which is why he left after he went through juvie.

I've also got some headcanon for how he met Dana, but it's not really set yet. I just sort of feel like there should be an explanation for why she started dating him, when canon has shown that he's an outcast in school and that she comes from a very well-to-do family.

Well. Uh. This is quite a bit of teal deer, as in, it won't fit in one comment, so I'm having to give links. :D;

1. This one, I blame on Zita. I can just see the Teyrian Corps of Engineers doing this for kicks during the Day of Hope celebration. Drunkenly.

2. All but 10, 11, 13-17, and 20 in this link are headcanon.

3. Uh. Have some fic. The NSFW one is marked appropriately. Thesik and Artisanthax canonically did have an arranged pairing, The Day of Hope is canon, and so is Kang playing like he was a bear with the females when they were little.

4. ...not really sure if this counts, but my headcanon says that his General and BFF Slith's got 13 kids from both of his mates. Six from Hanra, seven from Shanra (would have been eight, but one egg didn't make it D:), and eight of them are female.

5. A good bit of this is headcanon. Warning, biology geeking involved.

6. Adding more about his kids: the girls are Yana and Kali, and the boys are Brevo and Grosk. I even have personalities for all of them. Yana and Brevo are constantly fighting with each other, verbally and physically, and usually, Kali's the one shaking her head at her siblings being idiots. Grosk's personality hasn't quite been pinned down all the way yet, but he's the one most likely to make blunt and obvious statements.

Ogod where to begin... well I suppose with Matt first.

1) Matt's early life is extrapolated from mostly the animated series since we really don't get a real good glimpse of what his life is like. He's got a mom and grandfather at least, but that's where things get wiggy.

Since he's a Captain in the Kandrakar Guard, or at least some kind of equivalent due to Kandor calling him "My Captain!", most of his time spent on it is headcanon, mushed with a lot of stuff you find in the Animated series mixed with Animated Caleb's Dos and Don'ts of combat. His proficiency with magic comes out of the fact that he absorbed and took away the original powers of the Guardians in the comic series, but anything I say about magic and magic theory is pure headcanon, extrapolated from my WITCH-centric series Element. As such, expect a lot of magical theory from there.

Matt's also a Star Wars nerd, which probably needs to happen ICly considering I played him for months in a rich media centric environment earlier. He's a big avid fan of quoting Penny Arcade as well, and probably will unleash the Republic Commando joke if he gets within twenty feet of Chewie.

2) Rein. We all love our pocket loli but there's a few things that I seem to have picked up for her. First off is her influence from Hayate, in that she loves to dress people up, dress up herself and play pranks on people. She's got a love of the sauce which is completely influenced by some of those fun fanarts, and takes a bath in a cup. Secondly she's most likely bi, which is strange enough when you consider she's a device but in essence, Rein is more like a tiny woman than she is an actual device despite her extraordinary powers. She blames that on Hayate her Meister-Mom who is known in the series to be a prankster and A-Grade Cosplay Pervert. Thirdly, I think she's probably got a thing for Older Men (coughKazamicough), due to the fact that technically she's the Second Reinforce, thus the addition of Zwei to her name. And as such, she's only been active for approximately 8 years thus making her a centuries old adorable pocket loli. Kind of like Chibi Usa without the kidlet body to go with. Finally, she's pretty much addicted to Cherry Tomatoes, as evidenced by the first thing she goes for in a scene in StrikerS.

And sadly she's probably a groper too, considering Hayate's a grade-A groper and has felt up most of Riot 6. And she rides on Matt or Ben's head since they probably know each other off-screen. She calls Matt "Her Trusty Steed".

3) Ben. Oh BEN. The first thing he's probably got and this is more extrapolation than pure headcanon is that he has a complete and utter disregard for his personal safety, a self sacrificing fool. Topped off with a ego that inflates and deflates due to what season he's in, he's also incredibly insecure since he put the Omnitrix back on, having defined himself as a hero because of it. Ben probably has some serious epic PTSD from both Ghostfreak and Eon combined. He's also seriously attracted to colored and Asian girls too, as evidenced by his crush on Kai in the first series, Elena from Alien Swarm, and his on-off girlfriend Julie from Alien Force. And considering the time and date of his series, he's most likely a big fan of modern pop culture, able to sling jokes of all kinds around. He probably watches Mythbusters as well, as evidenced from some of his plans that you'd only find in a "controlled environment".
