my headcanon for reboot ghost always changes from either giving him scars all over or minimal scars. I like giving him acne scars and a few cuts here and there but i think og ghost is rlly the one with all the crazy scarring.

to me, reboot ghost is just some guy with the classic scars that come with the job. blemishes and older wounds and whatnot but

og ghost is rlly the one with the gnarly looking tight skin that looks more like grated skin than anything. from his childhood and from all the lore we've gotten for him specifically

then again, my interpretations for them always flip flops. they both have scars, they both have no scars. whatever im feeling in the moment when im drawing them.

the only thing im 1000% firm on for both is that they both definitely have hella acne scars / acne

as a guy who's worn a mask for extended periods due to my own job. there's no way the big lug who wears a balaclava and thick mask for hours/days on end doesn't have hella build up

ghost, specifically reboot ghost, is a clumber spaniel to me like

look at this

thats ghost babey

just a big guy

british dog. stocky with a heavy block head. very loyal and form strong bonds. calm and affectionate in nature once that bond is formed

very intelligent, trainable, eager to please and respond rlly well to positive reinforcement

with strangers theyre more cautious than most spaniels and more reserved. takes a bit longer for these dogs to warm up to other but, once they do theyre so good with other dogs, people, children.

very good working dogs. despite their reputations for taking things a lot slower than other breeds. i mean look at the guy. boys got thick bones.

but they're VERY GOOD working dogs uggggh.

like, their slow and easy pace is exactly what makes them good hunters as theyre used as bird dogs, gun dogs, competition dogs

theyve got very good noses, are good at flushing out prey when working

because of their heavier builds they do, unfortunately, have a few health issues that just come up naturally over the years. yes this is still relevant to ghost
