Headcanon Meme

Stolen from tumblr (and edited slightly), because headcanon memes are my fave.

Give me the name of a character I write or have written and I'll tell you:
-What they smell like
-How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc)
-What music they enjoy
-How much time they spend getting ready every morning
-Their favourite thing to collect
-Their family (siblings, parents, extended, etc.)
-A weird/obscure fear they have
-A secret skill


OCS and AUs welcome, as always.

Putting this here to make it easier to respond from my iPad if necessary:

I adore your headcanon memes!
He isn't a major character in any of your stories, but (while we sort of know what he smells like) I'm dying to find out if he actually has a secret skill - so: Anderson. :)
Sorry.

Anderson

What they smell like: Men's deodorant, apparently. :p Probably a really manly sporty clean type one. One of the 'blue' or 'green' scents.
How they sleep: On his stomach, with his arm around his bedmate. Gets a good eight hours everynight, unless he's up to more recreational activites, or out working. Snores.
What music they enjoy: I'm thinking probably smooth jazz, and skat. Something soothing.
How much time they spend getting ready every morning: The proper amount. Showers, shaves, and styles his hair, doesn't fuss about much.
Their favourite thing to collect: Toothpicks.
Their family: Little sister. His wife. No kids. Mum and Dad are retired and living in the country, still happily married.
A weird/obscure fear they have: Something crawling on his back.
A secret skill: Plays the guitar.

Thank you. ♥

What they smell like: He likes to mix together the different hotel soaps, so he always smells differently but soapy.
How they sleep: Arthur is like a puppy, he just collapses suddenly and sleeps with his limbs splayed and his mouth wide open.
What music they enjoy: He most likes British folk songs and classic hits, which he sings at the top of his lungs with the entirely wrong lyrics.
How much time they spend getting ready every morning: Ten minutes. He showers and puts on his uniform. Usually he's too excited, and Mum sends him back to brush his hair.
Their favourite thing to collect: He buys a Toblerone in each airport he visits, and keeps the tube. Someone pointed out he doesn't know which is which, but he doesn't care.
Their family: Mum, Dad, no siblings (even though he still asks for one for his birthday)
A weird/obscure fear they have: Everything is brilliant and there is nothing to be afraid of (except, maybe, Dad)
A secret skill: Can balance a variety of objects on his nose.

This is perfect! Trying out various combos of hotel soaps is so Arthur. As is his unidentifable Toblerone collection.

There's only one word for this, and you already know what it is.

What they smell like: His cologne has clove, patchouli and moss notes in it. He smells like a manly woodland creature, according to Espo
How they sleep: Firmly wrapped around his wife. He's a cuddler.
What music they enjoy: Really cheesy 80s songs.
How much time they spend getting ready every morning: Twenty minutes. The hair takes a bit of time to style, and he likes long showers.
Their favourite thing to collect: Coasters from pubs and bars.
Their family: Mum and Dad, a shitload of sisters (he's in the middle), a million nieces and nephews. Jenny, and baby-to-be
A weird/obscure fear they have: Genuinely afraid of ghosts. Doubled since he met Dresden.
A secret skill: can juggle
