Here’s a list of applicable headcanons for this blog! It’s pretty long so I’m putting the individual character heacanons under the read more. These are mainly for the Tainted versions.
General
Eden is the oldest, being just as old as the universe, and Isaac+dead counterparts are the youngest at 18.
Out of the humans, Eve is the oldest at 27.
Samson is the tallest while Lilith is the shortest. Maggy comes close second to Sam. (I have no set heights yet)
All the Isaacs don't really get along as much as they should
The Tainted characters are older versions of the originals. In the instance of this blog there has been a thirteen-year time skip between when they first left the Basement and when they returned
The Basement is a limbo created by God to give “trials” to abused kids and Fallen beings he feels like tormenting again
Scars accumulate from runs and can be healed quicker by getting HP ups or using the Yum Heart
Personal items (Torn Photo, Polaroid/Negative, Mr. Dolly, possibly some others) differ in appearance based on who’s “player 1”
The Mom-based bosses (minus Mother) and Angel Isaac+??? also change according to “P1”
Mother is Jacob and Esau’s mother. This is why defeating her unlocks them, and why the alt-path is so different and new and coincided with their arrival to the Basement
Age Ideas (Parentheses are Tainted)
Isaac+dead counterparts: 5 (18)
Maggy: 7 (20)
Cain: 10 (23)
Judas: 10 (23)
Eve: 14 (27)
Samson: 11 (24)
Laz: 10 (23)
Beth: 9 (22)
J+E: 9 (22)
Apollyon, Azazel, and Lilith are thousands of years old and are listed in order of time of creation. Eden's age is the estimated age of the universe.
Applicable Headcanons for Each Character
Isaac
Now lives with his dad
That. Explains the bruises.
Named all the unique monsters in the Basement, as well as identified some Items
One thing he and his dead counterparts have in common is a love for drawing
The chaos of having seventeen people crammed into one floor stresses him out more than the others
Appreciates his friendship with all of them, though
Gender is Isaac. Doesn’t really care what pronouns people use so everyone uses he/him for short
Magdalene
She used to be a pageant child and still suffers body issues from it.
The Caffeine Pill item REEAAALLLY upsets her cause of that
V… valley girl accent……….
Assigned healer
BEST HUGS!!!!
Maybe too good. If she's hugging you don't let her get distracted cause she'll forget her own strength
Cain
Has a prosthetic left foot from an accident (havent thought of exactly what yet)
His left eye was gouged out by his dad tho
He's the most generally well-off of everyone. Guess he was just born lucky…
Absolutely was a Little Shit™ as a child and still is
Avid min-maxer in video games
Kleptomaniac
Ok the way I'm describing sounds like he's got a bit of OCD
Often fulfills role as leader when need be
I don't have any ideas for Abel yet but I'll think of something. Maybe he was absorbed in the womb?
You know what??? I like that. Cain's a chimaera. He has (uh. Had???) heterochromia. That's why his eye items are different colors.
Is bald on purpose
Judas
Br*tish. Mancunian, even.
Hanged himself in the closet
His pact was with Belial (obv)
Chose to learn the dark arts when he was nine
Eventually got the stick out of his ass and developed a sense of humor
Still Anti-Christian to the point where it's a bit worrying but the others are starting to understand him
Yes he had a friend named Jesús. It was an unintentional betrayal, though.
???
He can't really talk. All that comes out when he vocalizes are grunts and groans.
Responds to a lot of questions by just. smiling and shrugging 🤷♂️
Just. Chilling.
Chaotic and does what he Wants for comedic purposes
Eve
Has a Dead Bird tattoo on her chest.
Needs to take blood-thinning pills.
Forgotten calls her "V" as a reference to his own nickname.
Has a younger brother named Adam
Ma'am please stop smoking it's SO bad for you
Half Japanese cause I said so
She's still marked by the Whore of Babylon on her left thigh, which she got through the Satanic Church
It's undecided which demon she made her pact with. I was thinking about making it a twist where it's Lilith…
The local crows love her
Samson
Back story here
His middle name is Loowit after Mount St. Helens
The only person he fully trusts and can make him smile is Maggy 🥺
Beat his dad to death lmao
He was happier as a kid when his mom was still around…
Now he just has anger issues and gets easily annoyed
Delilah.
Azazel
The OG. It's unknown what his Choir was before his Fall, besides being in the class of Watchers
Has a face mask for every occasion. Ofc there are meme ones
His sense of humor is. SO BAD.
This is where his wings and horn went
Making fun of people is his way of showing affection
Still misses Semjaza even though he was kinda back stabbed
Lazarus
He is a TOTAL hippy. Vegetarian and all.
Flipped Laz doesn't give a fuck about any personal beliefs though and will do anything to survive. Sometimes regular Laz will flip back with a stomach ache cause he unknowingly ate meat.
Laz subconsciously flips when he feels like he's about to die (kinda like the emergency button trinket). Obv it's automatic when he "clears" rooms.
Normal Laz is very sweet and shy
Dead/Flipped Laz is angry, driven to that point by dying so many times. His rage could almost match Samson's
Flipped Laz is incredibly paranoid and is always in fight-or-flight mode
Eden
A fallen deity
Knows more about the world than the others
They are the personification of the chaotic nature of the universe. They are both tranquility and chaos. They are blessed and damned. They are all and nothing.
Judas introduced them to memes. Oh God why did you do that. They're almost as bad as Azazel. They won't stop saying amogus. Help.
Fourth wall breaker
God wanted to make them one of His angels so they'd always be under His control. But Eden is too stubborn.
Eloquent speaker
Shapeshifter cause their true form would melt everyone. Mainly changes their voice to quote ytps.
Lately they’ve been losing some control of their powers, which is why they appear glitchy
Lost
Edgy
Needy
Keep killing him it's funny
Check out his spiders
Backstory thing here
While he knows he can easily die he still fucks with the others cause he thinks its funny
Lilith
The OG
No hard feelings for Adam, but definitely some for God
And Samael. Dear LORD don’t bring him up
Married to Asmodeus
Gello's full name is Gelatínus Azariah Shamdon (yeah lol, Raphael's cover name, and Asmodeus' father)
Assigned mom friend and treats everyone like they’re her children
With help from Azazel, she got Judas and Beth together
In general plays matchmaker with Zaze. They've got a great record it's just 99% of their successful matches are random nobody enemies no one cares about
Incubus doesn’t seem to talk to her anymore...
Keeper
Often forgets the other kids' names cause he never cared to learn them unless they paid up (he always called Bethany Brittany for example)
This is why he gave them all titles and refers to them by that (The Zealot, The Broken, etc)
INSANELY good at math. Gotta be good at counting them coins
Best way I can describe his existence is that he's a corpse inhabited by a fragment of Greed? When he was "unlocked" he was no longer controlled by Ultra Greed/part of the hive mind
Another eloquent speaker, he's more flamboyant about it though
Apollyon
Another OG
If he gets too excited about the Pit eventually taking all, new cracks appear or previous cracks on his body worsen.
His pre-Fall name was Abaddon. It’s unknown what his Choir was.
Abbadon was cocky and prideful but was very quickly humbled by God. Don’t ever shit-talk Gabriel again
His sentences always trail off…
Used to be friends with the Horsemen
Main form of affection is existing in the same room as someone, like a cat. He considers this bonding.
Forgotten
Everyone calls him "F" for short.
He's been hanging around Eve too much cause now he's emo and apathetic like her.
Is the skeleton a different soul??? Who knows!
Uncomfortable in tight spaces. He's not over the being buried thing
Bethany (Her!!!!)
I dunno if that's supposed to be an eye or jewel on her head??? Honestly I kinda prefer jewel
Either way it bleeds when she cries
And it only ever glows if she has an active wisp
Each wisp she summons is gifted by a Goetic demon (I'll explain more once I actually make a ref sheet)
Has a Seal of Solomon ring (again will be on an eventual ref sheet)
Her mom's name is Judy (after Judea in the Bible)
Kinda backstory again
Second soprano in choir
Knew Edith
Only acts tough. She's still sweet on the inside. Her mouth just runs faster than her brain sometimes and regrets things she said
Jacob
J+E backstory here
His mother's name is Rebekah (Like in the Bible)
Momma's boy
Has always been easily jealous and afraid to admit it
Has had a weak stomach ever since he, well, watched his brother get flayed
Blood makes him queasy, cause, well--
We all know he simps for Beth. Dude please just let it go
Currently wearing his mother’s dress
Esau
Much like in the Bible he's the older, fraternal twin
And his dad liked him more…
His vision doesn't suck ass like Jacob's cause of his pact
Which he made with Satan btw
The reason why he's grabbed by Big Horn when he "dies" is because Esau babysits Lil Horn for him. It's the least he can do.
Speaking of Lil Horn that's his little onglydoople. His cutest tootsit. Bapy
I wanted to be dramatic and only have him in serious situations but it's honestly more fun to make him act like an angry cat
Friends with the demon bosses. Yes he gets a lot of "Remember when we tried to kill u??? Lol." jokes from them
I tried to make sure everyone had at least a few. Some definitely have fewer than others lol. I tried my best.
