Notes: Okay, so - I know this isn’t a canon character, but this is a character of my own creation, whom I wanted to write some headcanons for; in celebration of someone’s birthday!! Happy birthday bor!
- Mr Silverman is a lot older than we realise - literally speaking. Physically he’s probably no older than forty, at a push. He’s spent most of his long, long life in some phase he didn’t even call life for the most part; his own personal rat-race of a sort. Deal after deal, soul after soul, always much of the same.
- The abilities, behaviour and minds of mortals fascinate him, and always have done. Though he was there for their creation, he still hasn’t learnt all he wants or needs to know. He does all he can to observe human behaviour from his shop, and though it isn’t much, he knows that it is something, and he’ll take that.
- Though most would consider or class him as a demon, Silverman considers himself to be cursed more than anything else; on earth he is bound to his shop, unable to leave the premises. Most of the time this does inconvenience him, naturally, but there’s nothing that he can do about it.
- He doesn’t just deal in souls - he tries to avoid them as payment if anything, but he doesn’t take money either. He essentially deals in anything that isn’t of monetary value, but is of sentimental value. Or just plain company - sometimes he has regular visitations from previous clients who have made their deal with the payment of giving him company - he’s a lonely man.
- He likes jokes - lots of them. It doesn’t matter if they’re bad. He just wants the opportunity to laugh, and he genuinely doesn’t know what makes a good or bad joke; though some of them he doesn’t think they make sense, he’s still learning what can classify as humour.
- If you bring him various foods from different countries or cultures, you’ll easily gain his favour. Though he doesn’t need to eat to survive, he enjoys eating, perhaps more than anything else. Like with keeping him company, in making a deal, you could offer to bring him food as a form of payment.
- Despite his curiosity of humans, and the ways he can be bribed in deals (with food, jokes and company), he is incredibly strict. You need to be exact with what you want - i.e, how you phrase your deal. If something can be taken a different way, you will need to consider that and ask yourself whether or not that is something you would want - to change the terms of a deal comes with further prices which you may be unable or unwilling to pay.
- Though he doesn’t need to sleep - like with food - he enjoys doing so. His bed is lavish, comfortable, and admittedly rather large,and has been that way for at least a couple of centuries. Who needs to change any of it when you can just miracle it back to the way it was?
