do the headcanon thing for corvo
  || meme.
What they smell like: a cursory sniff reveals nothing but the scent of leather and body odor, not exactly a pleasing smell but corvo is never one to pride himself much on the little things like that. under that scent, in softer, more subtle notes ( ones jessamine knows well, having spent nights with her face buried in his neck ) is the smell of the ocean. not the harsh, fishy smells of dunwall, but lighter, more airy, like a gentle breeze onto the shores of karnaca.
How they sleep (sleeping position, schedule, etc): he keeps to a rather rigid schedule ( or, at the very least, attempts to ) , partly in thanks to his days in the army. he goes to sleep whenever jessamine does, but always rises a couple hours before her to get some exercise in before his duty begins. when he sleeps, it’s mostly on his back, arms at his sides or with hands linked over his stomach. however, if he is having a nightmare, he can often be found curled up with the blankets pitched all over the floor. ( on particularly bad nights, he can be heard muttering for a beatrici. )
What music they enjoy: for listening, he’s partial to piano or the harp ( particularly if a certain empress is the one playing ). but when it comes to dancing, he’s definitely more for a high-spirited, fast-paced jig.
How much time they spend getting ready every morning: he more prepares his body than his appearance for the day. a good hearty breakfast after a decent workout with some good cardio is his morning routine. though he does attempt to at least look up to snuff since he is, after all, often in the company of nobility, appearance is not nearly as important as functionality.
Their favorite thing to collect: his daughter’s drawings.
Left or right-handed: right, though he has trained himself to use a sword and crossbow in either hand.
Religion (if any): corvo doesn’t seem like a particularly religious man, so… none? i guess? there’s an acknowledgement and respect towards the outsider, but there is no worship there.
Favorite sport: sparring? does that count
Favorite touristy thing to do when traveling (museums, local food, sightseeing, etc): local food, 100%. he’s not so much of a foodie, but he likes to try many different things. he was, in fact, highly disappointed with the culinary offerings if dunwall.
Favorite kind of weather: on a day when the ocean winds have cleared the smog from around dunwall, and you can see far across the sea - corvo can be found atop the highest point in dunwall tower, looking out for a glimpse of home.
A weird/obscure fear they have: aging, i suppose. he fears the day he will no longer be able to do his job, and he hopes that day will not be another time he fails his empress.
The carnival/arcade game they always win without fail: the high striker, always. his strength coupled with his remarkable precision means that little weight will hit the bell every time.
