rising from one of my many graves to offer more The Patient Files headcanons! I really like doing these, obviously.
⌧ General Season 1 & Season 2 spoilers! ⌧
Lucian: - He has generalized vitiligo which is a result of an autoimmune condition caused by his ability and stress caused by daily life. It is mostly around his arms, hands, and head. His snapping fingers are very obviously affected. - In tandem with the vitiligo, Lucian has chronic pain that makes it generally difficult to do basic tasks if he's not pumped full of adrenaline. A cane and/or wheelchair would be a big help. - He is a big fan of theater, but his parents created a petty aversion towards Broadway and Shakespearean plays. He prefers community-run plays and musicals, but he hasn't had much free time to engage in that part of his life.
Eli: - He had a pet hamster when he was younger (maybe a city creature that mimicked a hamster Olen kept after it was deemed safe) and when it died in whatever unexpected way it did, Eli tried to resuscitate it with his ability. It did not work. Now when people try to comfort him and his ability is active, he will not let himself be touched. - Eli is the type of kid to put 'bunny ears' behind people's heads in photos. He also photo-bombs, uses the flash to throw people off, and flip the camera when someone asks for him to take a photo of them. - Eli had braces. I don't have obvious evidence for this, but I feel like the Olen's don't have perfect teeth. He didn't smile with his teeth while he had them.
H.Grey: - He has faded freckles, but in the monochrome of the city, it would look more like ash or dust. Alongside freckles, he has some blotches on his body caused by cirrhosis, and he wouldn't be able to tell the difference between them. - H. Grey has never (intentionally) read a mystery novel. Maybe out of insecurity for his own methods, maybe he doesn't care to read fictional scenarios of his job, or maybe he just doesn't read recreationally. - H. Grey has a collection of coffee mugs from Olen after various jobs well done. Most of them just have words and phrases on them, but his favorite is a tuxedo cat-shaped one (the handle is its tail!) Most of them have never seen a drop of water.
Charles: - Charles has a decently complicated hygiene routine, which he mostly does to relieve stress/self-care, but he also started growing facial hair when he left The City, so he has been learning how to shave. - Also when he left The City, he began to gain weight a bit more easily, though stress still makes it difficult to keep a consistent size. He pegs me as the 'weight gain as a sign of healing type' plus I need him to experience twink death. The clothes he left The City in would not fit him now, is all I'll say. - Charles draws on sticky notes when he's bored, mostly of what he imagined the creatures in case files to look like. 45% of the notes are also just Lucian portraits but that's not important.
Veda: - They have decorative nails similarly to Lucian, but they are filed down to prevent any issues in the lab. They used to fish for compliments with them, but nowadays they are far too cynical to accept them. (Charles definitely complimented them and was passive-aggressively chewed out about it) - Veda is a decent baker, since baking is akin to chemistry. I'd also like to think they grow their own produce or use Clear Minds property for a community garden. They are very meticulous about gardening, bordering on obsessive. - Veda has a video-game making hobby, but the games they make are very complicated (lots of mechanics involving science in some way) and I think the only person they know who would give it an honest chance is Charles.
I wanna give them all hugs X3
