My Control Headcanons: Jesse’s Outfits
Poster’s Note: This post is on my headcanons concerning the wardrobe of Jesse Faden, the main character of one of my favorite games, Control. I was unable to unlock all of the outfits due to being a PC gamer.
Off duty and outside of the FBC Building, Jesse wears her civilian outfit. It’s the only one that she brought with her to New York; she was in a big hurry to find Dylan and the people who took him. It’s also one of her outfits for when she has to go undercover.
As a big fan of “Undercover Boss”, Jesse uses the Janitor’s Assistant and the Office Assistant outfits to see how things are going at the bottom of the FBC’s totem pole. As someone who was once a janitor herself, she feels its important to remember where she came from.
Whenever Jesse feels the desire to dress like a superhero, the Asynchronous Suit is her go-to. Alternately, as a fan of Brandon Sanderson’s “Mistborn” series, she likes to think that it’s a good approximation of a mistcloak.
When it comes to work, Jesse can choose between either the Director’s Suit or the Golden Suit. The Director’s Suit is for day-to-day stuff, while the Golden Suit is reserved for special occasions or meeting with VIPs, such as the President.
Jesse uses the Candidate P7 outfit as sleepwear or to relax in at her apartment. While it is a reminder of the Prime Candidate Program, it is very comfortable.
Jesse wears the Expedition Gear when at an Active Threshold (such as the Mold Threshold or the Black Rock Quarry) or in the Foundation. It has excellent resistance against wear and tear.
When exploring another dimension entirely, Jesse wears the Extradimensional Suit. It’s good for protecting her from the negative effects of different laws of reality and physics on the human body.
While Jesse’s healing ability also applies to whatever she’s wearing, the Tactical Response outfit is the best for combat situations. It’s mostly for getting her into the right mindset.
When going to the Astral Plain, Jesse wears the Astral Dive suit, which improves her the connection between her abilities in the real world and in the Plain.
When an AWE is taking place in an urban area, Jesse uses the Urban Response outfit. Like her civilian outfit, it’s also good for when she has to work in an unofficial capacity.
