JEFF THE KILLER HEADCANONS
CW: killing, stalking, scars, addiction
OKAY POSTING THIS NOW. I might do a part two sometime, he rots in my brain so im bound to come up w new ideas and stuff but for now this'll do :thumbs_up:
GENERAL STUFF
White, Italian-American but he's not too connected with his Italian heritage
In his early to mid 20s, ran away from home after committing his crimes when he was around 16 and he became a proxy for Slenderman after being on the run for 2 years, making him 18 when he was recruited
Jeff the bisexual, not that he realized/accepted it for a long time
Around 5’8’’/178cm, probably tells ppl he’s taller ngl
He's got light blue eyes and naturally brunette hair that he dyes black
He got into a burn accident when he was younger, an incident that finally flipped a switch on him for good
The burn marks are mostly spread across his upper body, his legs are pretty much free of any damage
The gushes on his cheeks never healed properly or closed as he did them poorly, leaving the edges ripped and uneven
The pain it caused has numbed overtime and he rarely feels it anymore
He managed to partly blind himself by having gone ahead and tried cutting his bottom eyelids in a poor attempt at stopping himself from ever crying (he was a mess and struggling with himself at that point) but he couldn't go fully through with it after he freaked himself out with the damage it did to his left eye
He's got scars all over his body, most of them are from fights with others
He actually wears those battle scars with pride, in his mind they make him seem cool and strong and he even brags about them
Very, very, VERY rare to see him without face paint on. It's not that he’s trying to conceal the damage his face has gone through, he just thinks the white face paint fits him better. Live laugh love guyliner as well
His makeup is waterproof and he even sleeps in it multiple nights in a row, he doesn’t care, he'll just touch it up if he needs to
His eyesight is below average but in his opinion he sees just fine even when he has to squint
PERSONALITY
He can be an annoying bastard when he wants, it's natural for him to be an asshole
If you're a stranger to him he has no problem being borderline harassing with his behaviour and it's worse if he's provoked in some way
It's very easy to pick a fight with him as he's easily irritable and when he fights, no matter if it's verbal or physical, it can get real nasty real fast
If you even look at him funny when he's having a bad day, you most likely will end up on his blacklist
That's to say he’s def got some anger issues he never got to work through when he was younger
The easiest way to befriend him is to impress him, otherwise he's not too interested in getting to know you
When one does befriend him and they become closer, they have to endure his playful banter, jokes and his smug behaviour
He's egoistical for sure. Whether his massive ego is a cover up for his issues with himself he'll never tell.
If you stroke his ego he’ll probs smirk to himself and receive it with no problem, but too much is too much and he’ll get annoyed cause then he just feels like you’re either not serious or you want something from him
Needless to say he prioritizes himself and the people he actually cares about, otherwise he's indifferent or dismissive of others
He's pretty much an ambivert. He can be by himself fine and he prefers it most of the time but he also seeks out the presence of other people from time to time
he’s also kind of an attention hogger, blame that on growing up with his parents not caring enough (doesn’t matter if it’s good or bad attention, both satisfy him)
He’s kind of reckless, rather acts before he thinks and sometimes it works in his favor, sometimes it bites him in the ass and if someone were to point that out he’d probably curse them out or something (he’s bad at admitting he’s wrong)
MUSIC PREFERENCES
He definitely thinks of himself as a music connoisseur of sorts
He’s a huge fan and listens to music pretty much whenever he can
He’s also got different playlists for different vibes. For example when he goes out (to kill) on his own he likes to listen to something that’ll pump up his adrenaline but then again when the night falls and he’s left awake staring at the ceiling he also likes calmer music that is almost melancholic in sound
And he thinks his music taste is better than yours, no debate about that (unless you introduce him to something new that he likes, then he’ll be a bit reluctant about complimenting your taste)
He’s probably sneaked into concerts as well as stolen merch, which btw all his shirts with graphics on them are just merch of bands he likes
If his music taste were to be described with genres his taste would fall into metal and goth and their subgenres
He actually got into the goth scene through Jane when they were young. She had introduced him to the type of music she liked and he actually found himself liking the sound and researched different subgenres on his own time. Would he admit that Jane got him into it? Probably not, if anything he’d give her just a little credit
He's more focused on the melody of the song rather than the lyrics. He might not even know the lyrics to his favorite songs because he thinks the melody on its own is banging enough
Some bands I think he’d specifically like are She Wants Revenge, Slipknot, Type O Negative, Korn, Lebanon Hanover, Twin Tribes and Mareux
When he was younger he used to be a big emo, now he slightly cringes at the thought yet finds himself sometimes revisiting the songs and bands he used to listen to on loop when he was in his teens
FASHION
He’s not too particular with his clothes, most often he steals the stuff he wears from his victims
He does like alt and edgier fashion though but he doesn’t care to specifically seek out for clothes that fall into that style too much
Accessories are a different thing. He's like a crow when it comes to cool jewelry and might even target someone just to steal a spike bracelet from them
A big lover of his white hoodie. It’s almost like a part of him and he even feels weird going out without it
^ And it’s often covered in dried blood. He views the stains as some sort of trophy from his successful kills and is against washing it unless someone actually makes him do that (but that would only happen after a ridiculous amount of resistance from him)
His wardrobe mostly consists of dark colors, apart from the couple of white tops he has
Knowing Jeff’s preferences, Nina sometimes alters his clothes and makes them more fitting to his aesthetic, which despite his act of indifference he sort of appreciates
He’s got a few piercings and he’s done all of them himself except for his snakebites
The first time he pierced himself he got his ear infected and Jack had to treat it
After that he's got the hang of it and has been free of any serious infections
His snakebites were the first piercings he ever got when he was young, approximately 15 or so. He got them done by some shady guy in some even shadier circles he hung around in as an act of rebellion against his parents
FOOD & DRINKS
He's not picky with food, like at all
Sure there are things he doesn't like but he eats pretty much anything
When he was on the run after attacking his family he didn't really have much options and ate whatever he could find just to keep alive and going
His favorite type of food is homemade meals and he prefers to cook his own food if he can, partly because of his distrust to others
And he's decent at cooking. He learned when he was young and still living at home but everyone has the impression of him that he can't cook for his life
Loves a good ol’ Monster Energy, the drink is imprinted on him since early age
The type of guy to forget to drink water tbh, he’s kind of dismissive when it comes to taking care of himself in general
BAD HABITS
Killing and stalking, obviously
Depending on his mood he may take his victims out quickly with a simple stab to satisfy his craving for control for the moment, but at times he can get brutal to the point he leaves an impossible mess
He's not a long term stalker if he plans on killing some stranger. He'll follow them throughout one evening and be done by the night
Though sometimes he'll get curious about other people’s habits and way of operating, and he may follow or watch them out of sight to gain more information
He's a regular smoker and he’s not planning on quitting it
Steals a new pack in advance every chance he gets. He does go through one fairly quickly after all
Also a drinker. He's not addicted like he is with nicotine but when he drinks he often takes it too far, drinking too much too quickly
Sometimes it's a choice, sometimes he just loses track of his limits yet he would insist he meant to get shitfaced, thinking that works better for his image
HABITS/FREE TIME
He’s the type to consider killing as his habit but apart from that there are a few other things he finds himself drawn to
Music, as said before, is a big part of his daily life. He likes to just hang in his room and have music in the background, usually blasting it from some busted stereo he found one day
A knife collector and he has favorites based on how many kills he's gotten with them, how he got them and the style of the knife. Will ramble about them if you don't shut him up fast enough
He used to draw fairly regularly when he was still young but over the years he's sort of dropped it. He might still doodle something if he's given a pen and paper and he has nothing better to do, but he doesn't value the habit much at all anymore
i mmmiiiiight do more hcs with the other creeps, lemme know if y'all are interested in hearing me yap abt the others too cause then i'll actually make a point to myself to write them down lololoololo
