Some Gavin Reed Headcanons
-He’s a jerk to most everyone he works with but despite that, he can still be nice and sympathetic. He’s really good at talking to victims and witnesses.
-Is related to Elijah Kamski. They’re brothers. (Both were played by the same guy which is where I get this idea from. They were both born in 2002 so I messed with the numbers and made Gavin a year older) Gavin was disowned (some big fight that he refuses to talk about) and he hates his brother with a burning passion that could rival the heat of the sun.
-Also his parents favored Elijah (apparently he graduated university and founded CyberLife when he was 16?!) and Gavin hated being overlooked as the ‘dumb sibling’ just because his brother has a freakishly high IQ
-He hasn’t dated anyone seriously since college
-He’s a low key romantic (holding hands, watching the stars together, walking on the beach at midnight, etc.) but he’s actually terrible at being romantic (he gets too flustered easily)
Android (and Connor) Related
-Most of his hatred of androids comes from the fact that his brother made them
-His initial hatred for Connor came from that plus the worry that he could be replaced by an android detective after he worked so hard with no support to get where he was.
-He cools down towards androids post game (assuming the peaceful ending where everyone lives) but he still antagonizes Connor for a while before their relationship improves
-I kinda ship him with Connor (I’m a sucker for redemption arc + slow burn + enemies to friends to lovers; I can’t help it)
-When he drinks too much you might think 'oh no he’s probably an angry drunk’ but he’s actually kinda sad when he’s drunk (also forgets to keep up his asshole persona and might accidentally say something nice)
-He loves those old cult classic movies like Heathers, Dawn of the Dead, Scream, etc.
-He also likes older music like Green Day (not a fan of the music he grew up hearing on the radio)
