Headcanons are my absolute favourite part of RP, so I wanted an excuse to be nosy and read some of yours!!



This was a pretty popular one back on tumblr!
1) post your blank TLs
2) send each other fruits/questions!
Honestly, the fruits aren't necessary but they make it cute.

If this one doesn't suit your fancy, I'll post a TL with a
more detailed meme and you can send each other prompts
on that instead.
(credit!)

Ooooo, this is interesting because it seems like there isn’t a very strong line between childhood and adulthood on the Sixth. Pal is able to pass a series of exams that make him the leader of his people by the time he’s thirteen, and it seems pretty clear that adulthood vs. childhood is more defined by moving up through the academic ranks than age.

All of that said! I’d guess that he’d call β€œchildhood” his life before age ten or so, and he’d probably call it uneventful, happy, and productive. He grew up in a society that fed and encouraged his intelligence, had great parents, and succeeded at his every ambition. That definitely impacted him: it gave him his warmth and his confidence, though it also made him arrogant and bad with failure. I don’t think he would ever choose to go back to childhoodβ€”he is very much someone who believes in looking forwardβ€”but from time to time he misses the simplicity and innocence.

21. Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?

Hilariously, this has a canon answer!



So: write fix-it fic for a romance novel.

He'd also obsessively work on whatever problem he's currently trying to solve--on the Serena Eterna that would probably mean trying to devise a necromatic theorem that would help passengers escape the ship.

While Pal doesn’t seek out a lot of friends or need to spend time with a lot of people, he is very much used to having companionship. He and Camilla, his best friend and sworn cavalier, have been extremely close since childhood, and he feels extraordinarily lonely without her on the ship. They have barely spent any time apart for most of their life, and he still feels at a loss because he lacks that intimacy and companionship. It’s one of the reasons why physical closeness became part of his relationship with Clarke so quickly.

WAIT I NEVER REPLIED TO THIS

🍍 : how comfortable are they in their body? how do they feel about their height, weight, strength, and body type? how important is being attractive to them?

Pal is incredibly neutral about his body, almost unhealthily so. At best, it's a useful vehicle for his mind and soul that happens to be pretty good at getting things from high shelves; at worst, it's an irritating machine that needs to be looked after and breaks all the time. tbh this question reminds me that I need to come up with more reasons for him to confront his physicality, because it is just something he would prefer not to do.

🍏 : how stable is their physical health? do they go for regular or semi-regular checkups by a physician? do they have any diagnosed illnesses and / or take any medication? how often do they get sick?

HAHAHAH. I mean, Palamedes is decently healthy for a necromancer? But that just means he's a walking bundle of allergies, nosebleeds, and minor upper respiratory infections, yet nothing is concretely wrong with him. I suspect that he got regular check-ups back home because it seems like the kind of thing the Sixth House would standardize, but he's a terrible patient who generally thinks he knows better than the doctors.

πŸ₯­ : how important is their hometown or where they’re from to them? are they proud of it, or considered a hometown hero? did they move away, or do they wish to?

He's a literal hometown hero!!! For a given value of "town" and "hero". He was quite content growing up in the Library, and is definitely very proud of his community and his House. He didn't even leave the space station until he and the other House Heirs were called to Canaan House.

...Would he wish to move away? In a perfect world, no. But he is willing to consider abandoning home in order to be with Dulcinea, and by his canon exit point, going home has become a complicated prospect.

45. Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?

Both or either, depending on the circumstances! He is obviously a very word-focused person on the whole, but he also believes in living things out through his actions.

48. If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?

looooool. I mean, realistically, if it actually had to be a fistfight, he would just run away! But thinking about fighting more broadly, he is someone who is very much into using misdirection and distraction to win. He is a sneaky fighter.
