Silver Shepherd as two separate people?
HEADCANONS MMM YES
general premise: what happens when silver shepherd, who has two distinct personalities in him, get separated as two people?
-voila, the superhero and civilian half appears.
-probably a shock to the both of them at first
-to avoid confusion, the other egos call the superhero half Silver and the civilian half Shepherd
-though technically the same people ego (this is redundant oml), they’re treated like twins. To add onto that, the two have a relationship of typical siblings. love-hate with frequent fighting but also deep, undeniable love
-silver is the typical superhero with flying abilities and his fist also probably has a power related to it
-shepherd works as a lawyer in broad daylight (there’s a law office at Egos Inc. just for him)
-in terms of personality, Silver is the totally law-abiding citizen that probably tries to solve civil unrest (crimes) through the long arms of the law.
-he’s kind of like a pacifist in that he hates fighting directly and makes the police and authorities work more than he does.
-method of busting crimes include following the criminals to their secret hideout while alerting the police
-sends his brother Shepherd work everyday with tons of cases for him to crack down on
-Shepherd is hoNESTLY TIRED
-silver is just a Good Boy that is too much of an idealist for his own good
-he probably shows up to peaceful protests
-Shepherd honestly takes no shit from criminals.
-charismatic and charming, and knows only the barest minimum for a case, he has an edge in court
-but he’s more than willing to fiGHT
-both of them work v hard and probably run on 21 cans of red bull each everyday
-Shepherd has a bad flirting habit
-cue in Silver comically smacking him upside the head
-Shepherd feels like Silver is too soft in how he handle things. He needs to mAN UP AND KICK THEIR A@#*SS INTO NEXT TUESDAY
-Silver believes Shepherd behaves too unruly for a lawyer. I mean, there hasn’t been a fight (yet) in the courtroom, but Shepherd has been threatened to be charged with contempt of court many times for blatantly giving the other side threats (how he acquired so many wins idek)
-real talk here, Silver’s biggest fear are villains figuring out he has a “brother” and using him as leverage
-Shepherd is as normal as you would expect. No powers whatsoever, and his durability ain’t that impressive
-going off of that, Shepherd detests how weak he is. He wants to help Silver with the action too, but Silver being the overbearing mother hen that he is forbade Shepherd from being involved
-Shepherd one time stopped a dude from stealing a woman’s purse and Silver kind of flipped his shit. Silver’s the action-oriented one; shepherd’s supposed to stay safe
-to this day Shepherd feels useless despite how confidently he conducts himself. He can’t do anything, and he’s not allowed to do anything major/extreme.
-Silver woRRIES SO MUCH. Like, he sends a text to Shepherd every 10 minutes or so to make sure he’s alive and breathing and taking care of himself or w/e, and if Shepherd doesn’t respond, he’s going to assume the worst
-one time Shepherd didn’t respond to a text, and Silver pretty much busted into the office at Egos Inc. 30 seconds later only to find that Shepherd was using the paper shredder so that’s why he didn’t hear his phone chime
-Silver wants the best for his “brother” okay
-in the end, if it came down to either the safety of Shepherd or the greater good, Shepherd made Silver swear to an oath (much to his intense protest and heartbreak) that Silver would choose the greater good
