#phighting headcannons

[roachie-paradise]

hi phjgitng community

my personal silly little headcannon, tag it as you will in your reblogs, more ramblings below

this is obviously inspired by splatoon biology posts! made by dogtoling :3

more details about tinting, its silly sometimes because oftentimes, its mistaken for a deep bond even when its work mandated color shifting. every single inphernal has a different threshold and willingness to tint or match colors of course.

Misc. Headcannons as a little treat and also cause I'm bored. (Most are region based!)

Hyperlaser tends to like writing as a coping mechanism. He keeps everything in a single storyline in a book that will forever stay a work in progress. ^ All it is is him putting his life into a different perspective. Most of the time I feel like the book would be pretty boring, just a day after day after day kind of thing. Noticing the little patterns around him, noting down what he eats, how he rested, etc.

All demon horns, if expressing strong emotions, can emit sparks and/or electric currents in the direction of growth. These sparks are harmless and are more of a pulse of light if anything. ^ if strong emotions are felt and the demon has injured/broken horns, the sparks/electricity can escape through the injury, and depending on the severity can cause a sparkshower. ^ these sparks also crackle like static electricity, while the glowing pulse going up the horn(s) is a faint hum. (This is partially inspired by horns glowing when the Phighters phinishers are ready, though when that happens it's kinda like when you go into a rage in dnd. A bunch of built up power erupts and the horns pulse so fast they look like they're glowing)

And now the faction headcannons!

BlackRock is a tourist attraction most of the time! With the mountains and valleys, it tends to feel a lot like Banff National Park in Canada. ^ tons of expensive as hell food, shops, ect all meant to trap and drown people.

Blackrocks economy is the worst out of all the factions. Many people have to eat only a few times a week, and when they do, it almost always tastes like gasoline and/or dirt. Of course, with the tourist traps, no one knows unless they move there how bad the cuisine is. They probably steal recipies from neighboring factions.

All of Blackrocks labs are built into the largest mountains, the only way in and out being the massive steel doors.

BlackRock was of course named after the mountains in the region, which are made out of a slick black rock. The most common tourist souvenir is a piece of this rock from the mountains.

there's of course the more mountainous places in BlackRock, but most of the population resides in the center of the faction which is protected by the mountains surrounding the massive city like a bowl. ^ this city resembles downtown japan and New York times square, but x100 more busy and advanced in their technology.

this city tends to only be visited by the tourists who are dead set on going, as it's not very tourist friendly with its inhabitants and the stores are more than expensive. Their cornerstores arent even that good either.

BlackRock doesnt celebrate anything, and is more secluded when it comes to their culture.

At playgrounds center is just an urban town, always resembling one of those classic movies based in the 1970's/80's. ^ the outskirts of Playground is a massive and dense forest system, where plenty of secrets are held. Most of them are hideouts though.

Playground is a heavily community based faction, and it doesnt have many big cities. The capital is one of the only cities, and even then many still prefer the towns and neighborhoods scattered across the faction.

There's also a few large lakes around the faction, so beach culture is a fairly big staple.

Playground doesn't usually celebrate a lot of things as a whole faction, and more rather everyone has massive parties and celebrates with their own family and friends. Party-hopping happens quite a bit because of this

The thieves den is the second most visited faction, and the calmest of them all. A permenant fog covers the ground, giving it an almost eerie feel, though it fluctuates with the weather.

Community is also a fairly big staple, though it's more in business then personal connections. ^ there is plenty of farmland and tons of street markets open almost all the time.

The Thieves den, without much competition, easily has the best cuisine out of all the factions with all the freshly grown and harvested ingredients, along with talented chefs.

The capital of thieves would most likely look a lot like those old chinese towns, but I wouldnt be suprised if theres a bunch of Korean inspiration in there as well.

Festivities are not very common, but when they do happen, Theives den goes all out with some of the most light and decoration crazy celebrations. Most times the capital holds it, and almost always it ends up being the whole city decked out to celebrate.

The theives den also has plenty of bars and pubs/hotels scattered around the faction, and they all reside fairly close to each other.

The lost temple is the driest faction of the four, residing in small towns around a massive desert, usually based around water pools and oasis.

Most of the buildings are made of sandstone and chiseled with delicate details.

Of course the church of the true eye resides somewhere in the capital, most likely hiding behind a different name.

Lost temple is probably the most menacing faction specifically for how uneasy the air around it is. Naturally theres some very nice and safe places and experiences to go to, but if you take a wrong turn it's very easy to end up in the wrong side of town.

markets are also fairly common, every other street has at least a few stalls up daily.

the more populated areas are definitely a little more "yee haw cowboy" esque, having taller buildings and such.

I'm feeling silly. How about some Katana headcannons???

I think Katana makes his own masks from scratch. He probably has many for separate occasions, or some just for show.

I think he finds it quite therapeutic to model something with just your hands and to feel it in every stage, start to end.

It feels very in character as well that he'd reference the stages of making a mask or a vase from scratch in his everyday speech (which is basically just poetry. Why you so soldier, poet, king...)

He's just the kind of guy to make something for the sake of making it... if it makes him at least a little happier then why not? There's no need to look for external validation in the things he likes to do.

I can imagine him finishing a mask and then just going through the rest of his day with small patches of dried ceramic along his tail and arms.. he does not care!!!!!

because I'm stupid and don't know how to draw Katana's on model mask and make it look good, I've decided that that's just the mask he wears if he's going into a Phight. He probably made it thicker and more durable so it wouldn't shatter, while the one in the design I drew is more comfortable, but fragile, also being the mask he's had the longest, being shown by the small cracks along the top.

I've also thought of how the different textures of his arms and legs would work? The skin of his arms and legs would probably feel like unvarnished ceramic with a few ridges and a lot more texture, but still keeps that kind of sandpaper feel, the scales feel like the varnished and smooth ceramic, while the palms of his hands and finger pads feel somewhat like leather. Lastly his beans????? I guess???? Are cool to the touch and smooth.

yes, I also headcannons a few things about Prince hold on.

Prince is a barn owl (duh), but I feel like. Prince would be a she. Like come on. Girlboss owl. Plus with my headcannon of hyper giving prince to Katana, i feel like it would be funny if he got a female owl by accident and kept the name just so princess and prince would match.

Katana doesn't keep Prince around for a long time as well, because he knows Prince knows how to somewhat take care of herself, and is not usually an animal to be domesticated. Prince treats Katana's apartment like a den or a hollow, checking in on him from time to time, coming for food if she's hungry, or staying if the weather isn't the greatest.

I also want to think that prince is somewhat trained in like. Return and call commands?

Another thing with Katana's arms, Prince can safely latch onto Katana without fear of hurting him because of how tough his arms are. He barely needs any arm protection when it comes to Prince flying down and latching onto his arm like it's a branch.

Anyways that's it!!!! I honestly think Katana needs more love apart from shipping because like. He's actually such a cool character I love him so much.. I swear as soon as I drew his design for ANIMALS! I instantly knew he was one of my favourite characters..

I think... it's time for me to tell you guys.

MY STUPID PHIGHTING HEADCANNONS YEAAAAAHHHHHHH

GET JUKED

Starting off strong, I headcannon Medkit to be on the Aroace spectrum

Why? Because it makes every single ship with him 100% funnier. It's like the Vox and Alastor dynamic "I HATE YOU!" "I want nothing to do with you."

Another shitpost Medkit one, He's lactose intolerant. No I will not clarify.

Sythe PROBABLY gave Med a gun sheath, but he never uses it because of how often he has to heal people. Also because he's resisting the cowboy within.

The Broker is probably flirty with most people, especially the people who hate him (he doesn't actually mean it he's just annoying like that)

Examples being Ban and Zuka, lord save them

Completely off topic from the lost temple trio, my boombox headcannon (that will make more sense when I design him) is that his tail has jello like qualities!

For Hyper and Katana, the headcannons I have for them for now are mainly based around the pets that people headcannon them to have

They gifted each other their respective pet (I may or may not have drawn something for this.. in the process of finalizing it)

Katana gave Hyper Princess first, Hyper gave Katana Prince as a thank you

Princess is a trained therapy cat for Hyperlazer

Prince is a barn owl

Is this lore? Potentially. Did I have a prompt stuck in my head from a hyperlaser headcannon that I couldn't get out of my head and worked so well in the ANIMALS! au I had to draw it even though it was stupidly late?... yes.

Diologue under the cut if needed!

"Ah." "Eager to get back on the job. Even after your suspension." "I can respect an eager mindset."

"these are the job details." "I need you to secure data on a location." "It should be easy. Just a hotel in the Thieves Den."

"Why send me then?"

"Hmm?"

"If it's just a hotel, why send a spy?"

"I have some theories about the residents." "Particularly on the top floor."
