Weird or Unusual headcanons

Wait... Peacock doesn't have teeth. She lost them in age 13 (or 12, I don't know)
That means she didn't had wisdom teeth yet...
Does that mean...
  • When Peacock will be 17-25, she will have four teeth.
OH MY GOD HAHAHAHAHAHA
 
Both from the mental image and from the sheer fact he of all people sings.
He probably only sings sarcastically.
And Avian always gets the most salty and starts cussing like a mothersmurfer but because of his thick German accent, it just sounds like gibberish. Brain Drain rubs it in even more and starts impersonating his accent and saying German-sounding words.

Also, Brain Drain copes with boredom by mind-controlling people for a couple of seconds just to make them shout embarrassing things like making Stanley shout "I'm wearing ladies' underwear." or something lewd whenever Val is in the vicinity. Stanley is his favorite victim (despite being a shark, he's kind of a pushover).

Aeon does this all the time, usually with the Taliesin and Beowulf dolls. And yes, Venus walked in on her a few times.

In order of replies:

  1. I am accepting that Salty German Avian headcanon full heartily, even though otherwise, Avian's got the patience of a saint. And I have the mental image of a fight breaking out after one to many insults are thrown around.
  2. Brain Drain mind controlling someone when bored? I wouldn't be surprised if it was canon.
  3. Aeon is me, and I am Aeon.

Some 'scientific' headcanons for Eliza.

  • Eliza can only control her own blood, the reason being is that her ‘heart’ treats her blood with a special hormone that responds to Sekhmet’s commands.

  • the blood she drinks is added to her overall reserve, Sekhmet absorbs this blood on a regular basis and Eliza must keep acquiring more, thus the bloodrives. This is basically how Sekhmet ‘eats’ and stays alive.
 
Peacock is hermaphrodite. She totally looks and acts like boy.
 
I like to believe that since Ms. Fortune is the Skullgirls equivalent of Latina, she speaks the equivalent of Spanish.
Que pawsa, ése? Bi-lingual Pungeon Master.:PUN:

Now that you mention it, there isn't a Ms Fortune voice pack, right? There was Robo-Fortune along with a special palette but it got "promoted" to it's own character. A Spanish speaking Nadia with muchos retruécanos would be pretty good.
I'd actually love to have that. Seriously.
 
spanglish fortune would be pretty hilarious
when's personality swap filia though

  • In the skullgirls verse, calling an Elf "Fairy" Is a slur. And will probably get you punched.
  • Elves tend to vary in appearance. The only tell tale unifying signs are sharp, somewhat long ears, even sharper teeth and red or yellow eyes.
  • They are culturally similar to the Dutch and Germans.
  • Elves are a minority of eccentrics. Exactly what eccentric tendencies tends to vary between Elf to Elf.
  • Elf hybrids due exists but are rare.

Those are pretty interesting though I personally picture Taliesin as a Welsh Expy. Dunno why though.
And I don't wanna be a dick but the plural of "elf" is "elves".

Filia had a brief stint as a professional boxer that went surprisingly well until she fought Panzerfaust and proceeded to lose the match, a couple of teeth and her memory.
 
wait is Doc Fortune trying to cop a feel there

This isn't an a head canon but rather an actual fact, Dr. Avian and Black Dahlia are elves.
I know but I was commenting on how Avian and Dahlia look very different from say Taliesin, who's also an Elf. And we don't know what Dahlia looks like under her veil...

  • When wanting to piss Brain Drain off, Valentine leaves slushees, shakes, and other assorted ice cold drinks to enrage him.
  • Or replace all the furnishings of his room with wood.

  • Peacock plays Borderlands 2, she went as Tiny Tina for halloween and dressed Avery as one of her bunnies
  • Filla has heard Samson saying a name in his sleep
  • Minette gambles a bit at the casino when shes on break
  • Aeon is a massive video game addict to the point Venus has had to pull her away to get her out her room
  • Beowulf has tried to flirt with Hive
  • She stung him
  • When Parasoul drinks, she talks her problems to Kreig who sometimes sheds a tear
  • Stanley has dressed as Dr. Who for halloween/ cosplay
  • Big Band dressed like a Dalek and chased him around the lab till Dr. Avain told them to stop acting like kids
 
Once Valentine has gotten drunk and (somehow) slipped into Lab 8, Big Band's snoring put her to sleep
she passed out in Peacock's room. Peacock saw this and wrote "LOSER" on her chest, put her in the body bag, and rolled her down the steps.
 
  • Aeon is a massive video game addict to the point Venus has had to pull her away to get her out her room
Yes, this here is also my headcanon.
  • She's constantly trying to speedrun and 100% complete her massive collection of video games which she gets from different timelines. She also loves doing tool assisted runs with her games and all sorts of random glitches and debugging. She mainly/only likes retro 80s/90s games and her favorite one is Pokemon Yellow.
  • One of Aeon's victory poses will be her sprite transforming into a Pokemon RGBY over world sprite of herself and exiting the stage through a glitchy portal. And there's also a sprite of Khronos following her like Pikachu does.
  • Khronos and Abaddon are also like Pokemon in the anime. They cry out their own names when attacking and Aeon and Venus are like their trainers.

  • Nancy partially "Skullgirl'd out" When she made her wish. It wasn't until a short time after Umbrella was born then she became the Skullgirl that almost destroyed the world.
  • Assuming that she retained some level of her mind (we don't know exactly how the mentality of a skullgirl works besides murder everything but this is unusual headcanons after all) Selene was probably pretty protective of her undead army, ya'now, being remains of her family.

  • Tom occasionally eats his fellow Dagonian men.
  • In musical preferences, Brain Drain likes electronica, dubstep or techno and their various spin offs. (semi canon admittedly), Stanley likes rock and the occasional power metal, Big Band is obvious, Valentine is acoustics (Again, canon but for the sake of this headcanon...),Avian likes classical, Ileum enjoys Musical theater music, Hive enjoys pop music of various Genres, Leduc enjoys rockabilly and some country, Peacock is similar to Big Band, mostly Jazz and Swing with dashes of blues.
  • Given the Trinity's involvement, It wouldn't surprise me if the skullgirl was a literal type of Angel of Death.
  • Despite hating vegetables, Peacock would still reluctantly eat them given that she never wants food to go to waste.
 
  • The only time Valentine has liked Beowulf is when he gave her an acoustic guitar for her birthday
  • Valentine has secretly sent a gift to Parasoul, she still continues to think its from Adam
  • Adam has slept on the job caring for Umbrella, she decided to put an Annie eye patch, a star on his chest, and almost spray paint his hair green but was spotted by Molly
  • Molly likes tapping to people's phone lines (mostly Adam's) and hearing their conversations
  • Her favorite is Adam telling Panzerfaust how much of a crush he has on Parasoul and how annoyed he is that she doesnt acknowledge his skills but have him care for her sister
  • Hive has a small crush on Stanley but is worried about throwing off his focus on his research
  • Ileum plays video games when her kids are asleep
  • shes played against Valentine on TF2 once. Valentine's message: you suck lab 8 :(
  • before Ileum had her parasite she loved going to Squigly's Concerts

  • Brain Drain has another name for Valentine when its that time of the season: Cupid
  • In response she leaves frozen chocolates which gives him a brain freeze
  • Venus tries to play cupid with Annie and Beowulf every year on Valentine's day, they just proceed to fight as friends (Annie wins)
  • Double tries to pair Venus (sometimes Aeon) with someone in the Canopy Kingdom, never works and she keeps the reason personal
  • Painwheel has brought dark chocolate for Valentine, she gave Carol a tight hug that it broke her character of being cold and serious
  • Leduc plans on a surprise for Sqiugly for Valentine's day, his only fear is just Leviathan
 
Valentine edition!
  • Valentine has an overly sensitive tongue when it comes to sweets, hence why candy is listed in her dislikes.
  • She likes her alcohol a mix of tart and sweet, with more leanings towards tart.
  • On occasion, especially after a stressful day, She'll go after something stronger....
  • Valentine does take some care in her appearance, abet usually with whatever is on hand at the time.
  • Valentine's corpse like parlor is basically from staying in semi darkness, all. the. damn. time
  • Due to the above, she's slightly sensitive to bright lights.

-valentine body bag is brain drains old body put back together. she holds on to it cause he doesn't like it
-hallow was brain drain's sister and when she died he took her needle hands things (he modified them)

That might not be game canon but it's most certainly real life canon. Oujo-sama even had to expand the blood bank with a tear depository section. Truly, they have weeped in the name of her beauty, ensuring it lasts AT LEAST, a couple more thousands of years.

Brain Drain likes dubstep
Only as a torture method.

Brain Drain's favorite music is Moog synthesizer music. Case in point.
(You know, I thought of this is a joke but now that I'm listening to it, I'm making it a VERY serious claim. PS: I love Moog music too.)

Bonus: Brain Drain's ring tone

  • Some guys have tried to show affection to Valentine, in response, she shows them the body bag
  • Peacock trains with Stanley more than any one else in the lab, his tech skills let him help make cpu dummies for Peacock to blow up fight with
  • Marie has gone incognito to an Annie show, she sat at the far far back to try to hide the glow of the skullheart
  • Filla sleeps through class a lot, its Samson who learns more
  • Carol (Painwheel) does like flying around a lot and bugs Brain Drain about it
  • The two do bets on who can break Valentine's cold attitude the most. Painwheel wins by bringing her dark chocolate. Brain Drain tried bringing vodka to her but lost the bet with a cracked hand.
 
  • Tom’s actually got some pretty sharp teeth despite his size. Its not obvious because few actually see him without his suit or see him up close without it.
  • He really hates being called tiny. Like he’ll actually kill you on the spot if you call him such.
  • He’s a kinky kinky bastard. However he rarely let’s this be public knowledge.
  • His type are young cute Dagonian girls with soft scaly skin.
  • Don’t bring up Stanley or Avian, and to a lesser extent, Brain Drain. He’s got a hellva grudge against Avian, (and to a lesser extent Stanley). Brain Drain just creeps him out.
  • He occasionally enjoys a nice meal of young Dagonian men meat. Basically he’s a cannibal of a sorts.
  • If he wasn’t so damn small, he’d pretty much do the same thing as Brain Drain and get himself a robot body with specific “customized uses”. Take that as you will.

  • Valentine actually attacked lab 8 because Stanley has something she wants bad (a rare acoustic that he keeps inside his closet of other inventions and high quality chocolates he obtained from a anonymous admirer)
  • Filla's only memory is her love of milkshakes, she liked the unusual flavors like cookies n cream, orange cream , black forest, etc. after Samson, she stuck mostly to vanilla or chocolate (sometimes both).
  • Squigly likes the compliments on her sutured mouth when she out in public, her first encounter with Painwheel she thought Carol was trying to be like her.
  • Squigly does take the occasional glass of wine, the vineyard she goes are old friends of her father and didnt know about her death until Leviathan popped out her head asking them to stop giving her drinks. She was already drunk.
  • Panzerfaust and Big Band meet secretly to test whos stronger.
 
Yes, this here is also my headcanon.

Another victory pose I'd imagined to she do is ask "Are we done?" sit down and go back to playing what looks like a GBA SP or a DS (she prefers a lot of nintendo)

For the time out one and she loses, she drops to her knees, and says "I knew i should've that code" and proceeds to weep

I have a head canon that Brain Drain was a bit of a loser when he was human but had great latent psychic potential. A slacker, used his talents for cheap parlor tricks or to cheat a poker, but couldn't really push his abilities to make him dangerous. After the accident, he underwent a personality shift and strived to be this grandiose, methodical evil genius. As a result he became immensely vain. He could have gained a stylized and simple body, but instead, he has what appears to by a rather muscular physique underneath his fancy coat.

Here's where the weirdness comes in. He obviously doesn't see himself as evil, but as the dark hero the world needs to take the fight to all the cosmic horrors..it's just that, he sees himself above morals, and things like...pity. When crafting Painwheel, he applied that twisted concept to her. He, in his own way cares for her and has crafted her into his ideal daughter-like figure. A cold, powerful and visually arresting figure. By making her perfect he also made sure that she couldn't remove her mask. Why? Why suture and staple a mask to her. Faces. Brain Drain hates faces.

In producing his perfect child, he needed to get rid of such a feature without "hurting or disfiguring her" Sure the pronounced veins and gait are unfortunate, but they are necessary evils for Skullgirl slaying and experimentation. Why does he hate faces? In his grand vanity, he realized, he couldn't find a perfect face. The unemotional bits of metal and plastics served their purpose, but then, Brain Drain started becoming unnerved that he couldn't laugh, couldn't sneer, couldn't grin at his genius. It started as an annoyance, but then became, a point of obsessing. He tried other casings and renovations, but...nothing felt right. Sure they were more menacing than his original...human face, but still. It felt wrong somehow, artificial. It mocked him, in all his greatness, with all his resources, he could make other bodies, other faces...but nothing felt right. Nothing felt like it was...him. IF he could not have a face, why should his potential heir, his daughter, his grand creation have such a strange feature....why indeed?


I er...ahem, may have looked too deep into speculating his character when I voiced him...I...I think I know how he thinks...I'm gonna go lie down and hope I don't wake up a Brain in a cybernetic body...
 
  • Marie has gone incognito to an Annie show, she sat at the far far back to try to hide the glow of the skullheart
I actually really like this one, it's cute and kind of sad, like she's trying to regain some sort of normalcy before going absolutely bonkers on the Medicis. ;_;


  • I like to think that Adam and Panzerfaust are buddies. Panzerfaust is the pride of the Egret's for the super soldier project results and his overall patriotism. Out of the battle field he's known as a big softie; organizing Egret karoke, bake sales, visiting war orphans, painting, parades. This all stems from before his transformation. He was similar to Steve Rogers, only not as weak and sickly. He wanted to do more for the Kingdom, but was barley able to keep up with the Egrets. Before he joined up, he was focused on community planning and taking care of people, and making the kingdom a pleasant place to live, once the rumblings of war broke out, he felt that he could do more, so he signed up for the rigorous Super Solder program and he's what we get today, but he has not lost his lovable and chummy persona.

  • Alex recently mentioned that D. Violet and Mrs. Victoria's relationship is similar to Banner and the Hulk. I imagine when she first got her powers she was interested in how the rush of power felt, being able to wright wrongs and step out of the shadow of being a normal, possibly meek woman, but as time went on, she was a bit concerned over how much...enjoyment she got out of crime fighting. Sure she'd beat up thugs in alleys, but she'd also toy around, humiliate them and be more aggressive than she ever thought. This new side of her started bleeding over into her base form and escalated until she came to terms with her duality and stopped repressing herself. Eventually, we've got the powerful and confident Mrs. Victoria as we see today. Incorporating the amassed fighting experience of her love of fighting games and time as D. Violet, we have a rather skilled fighter who is also a loving and devoted teacher, and now, D. Violet, while as powerful as ever, is able to balance the urge to have fun in justice, with the increased cunning and strategy of Mrs. V.

  • I see the whole thing like some interpretations of the Hulk-Banner relationship where they come to an agreement and get advantages out of the deal; Hulk has increased intellect, Banner is able to call upon the Hulk change instantly and surpress it when it would be a problem to change. In the early days, D. Violet would fight for justice, but she could get a bit lust focused and lose sight of a mission. I dunno, just rambling here hah.
 
Personally, I imagine Brain Drain to be like Otani Yoshitsugu from Sengoku Basara (the psychokinetic powers and broken body help the comparison). He has a cold, sardonic exterior and seems to relish on bringing everyone to his level, make all suffer just as him but there's this one key person he's incredibly loyal to even if he doesn't show it. That person being Dr Geiger who's the only one who still acknowledges Brain Drain as "human" while everyone else treats him as the "brain in a jar".
And he's certainly not the "evil type", I agree with that. I'd say he's the stoic type, who makes the tough decisions everyone else doesn't want to. But then again, I've been re-reading Hokuto no Ken lately so the imagery of stoic antagonists is still strong in my memory.
 
brain drain aand Valentine have a three way romance with geiger and fight for his love
