For me, there's the odd idea that Squigly listens to death metal most of the time when she's able to after her venture in the Story mode.
- Beowulf actually is very well read in history and literature from Gigan culture and Canopian mythos, it's one of the reasons why he became a wrestler but well, you don't get far if you're not body slamming people for hype. He's still found reading ancient books in the library and such, but talk to him and he has to act up the wrestler persona so no one realizes he was an English major
- Painwheel used to rip off her mask to "feel" after being so cooped up in the experiments (Hence why she smiles because she's still "alive"). Later on she can be seen squeezing the stuffing out of an old ratty teddy bear instead. No one knows why or where it came from
- Filia blames Samson for eating so much, but the truth is, she just likes night time snacking. She's the one true inventor of the "I woke up like this, so, I'm gonna eat a boatload of ice cream in my pajamas all day long"
- Leviathan acts all high and mighty, but the truth is, give him battle and he's hooked on it, screaming to the heavens how he'll slay armies after armies of soldiers like they were butter. The gentlemanly courtesy is merely him trying to keep himself back from going mad with power. Samson tends to egg him on about "getting" off on it.
- Parasoul is such a die-hard Annie fan, she was once caught playing with Beowulf and Annie dolls and has since made a self insert fanfic with her being Annie's star pupil / sidekick. Many slash fics have arisen from the new OC she's made, with Annie herself reading them one time. Emphasis on one time.
- Painwheel once used a prototype of the Gae Bolg / Buer (Thing on her back) which looked surprisingly like a fidget spinner meant to help her fly upwards for aerial attacks. While "serious" as a whole, it was instead seen as a gag since the parts are interchangeable. It was also meant to be an ultimate weapon, capable of allowing her full flight, but Brain Drain opted for the more intense weapon she now uses since... There's nothing more threatening than Painwheel using bladed propellers than what appeared to be a spinner.
- Valentine actually is asexual, and / or is much more happier writing her own slash fics in rivalry with Parasoul. Many OC wars have came from this, and the sheer amount of the discourse between the two is nigh legendary
- Peacock has an intense fear of "Mr. Roger's" esque personalities not unlike the Warner brothers and sister. She tries her upmost to not do anything "normal" and just the near thought of "going to the candy shop, getting a 9-5 job, and coming home to the nuclear family trope" is her greatest nightmare. Dr. Avian had to separate her from the other children before when one very television was destroyed because Patricia thought she saw those "...Happy polookas... With their sunshine-y smiles and their 401 K's..."
- Once, when Beowulf was in retirement, he took up odd jobs around the city, many of which, never really fit him very much while he was still finding his "calling". Janitorial jobs didn't work because he made too much damage with Grendel's arm. He tried working in the library at Filia's and Painwheel's school, but while he did pretty darn good with books surprisingly, D. Violet / Mrs. Victoria thought he was the villain of the day for her and she antagonized him from the start. Before he left to go back to "retirement", D. Violet spied on him to make sure he wasn't truly the villain she was looking for, only to find Beowulf trying to bench press a bookshelf late at night instead of doing some villainous scheme, fail at the last second when he noticed her, and then proceeded to ask D. Violet to help him clean up the mess. Never again did Beowulf ever want to look at bookshelves again.
And since this was way too long, my apologies come in the form of two last Beowulf head canons and one Grendel head canon:
- He's actually an enthusiast for opera / classical music. He's done many critic reviews, under a pen name everyone would never expect to be him, and travels many times to partake in the theater / musical culture. Of course, while he's all dapper decked out in his tux and such, he's prone to yelling during the show as much as he can. "C'MON LISA, THAT WASN'T A HIGH NOTE AT ALL, YOU CAN DO SO MUCH BETTER THAN THAT." Despite being a tough critic, he gives rave reviews. Bring up the latest musical, and you'll get an earful about his personal opinions on why "The death of Sienna Contiello wasn't emotionally impacting to the audience, much less the singer."
- However, no matter where he goes, he brings Grendel along like a dog and ties him outside the lamp post telling him, "Okay buddy, I'll be right back! You gonna be okay?" Grendel's arm makes a thumbs up, and when Beowulf leaves, Grendel flips the bird. Beowulf to this day tends to think Grendel's arm is but a part of the real thing, so, while he's giving the fights Grendel will never truly be able to feel anymore without him in his mind, Grendel sadly still didn't respect him as much till he goes on his story mode adventure.
- Despite being sentient, because Grendel is "dead" but his arm is still well and off, he can still "hear" and feel whatever the arm feels and hears. But this literally means Grendel only ever hears Beowulf's fight quotes whenever Beo talks. So, instead of, "Hey, you okay pal?" it's, "CLINCH UP, BOTCHED IT, ALL'S CHAIR" and so on, on repeat with many other voice lines repeated over and over again. Being Grendel's arm is suffering. And yet, he still manages to pull on through like the warrior he is. Even if all he ever hears is "lAY THE HURTING DOWN." A true hero to the end, that Grendel...
