yoglabs xeph headcanons
he got a single piercing around the start of SoI because honeydew was working on his gold smithing and gave it to him 'because you have too much bloody ear not to put something in one' and xeph was too soft not to wear it. the first time an experiment ripped it from his ear, shredding it and part of his arm as he fought to get it back, he stopped wearing it.
after yoglabs he gets a few more piercings, golden rings and bracelets and chains. he still doesn't wear the one honeydew made for him - its far too important (if honeydew was still here, he'd tell him to 'wear it anyway you silly bugger, i can just make another' hes not, though.)
often forgets to actually button up his labcoat, but will yell at staff if they don't button theirs. in his defense, the chemical burns and DNA damage aren't permanent for him. if he actually accumulated scars he'd be a patchwork of angry red and well-healed white. he's burnt off his freckles before
honestly distressingly fine with dying. has killed himself when he's sprained a joint rather than wait the 3-4 weeks for it to heal. has done so for other reasons. he's one of the few people who respawn who has more than one master clone, after lalna saw him blankly looking at the preserved version of himself, hammer in hand. lalna will not tell him where the extra(extras?) are.
often forgets (or claims hes forgotten) to eat. in reality the stress of it all makes him nauseous and without someone to share a meal with he'd rather not bother. he does have some caffeinated nutritional supplement shakes he'll sip on if he starts to get too shaky for fine pipette work.
started the whole cloning set up because he didn't trust whatever magic that had let him and honeydew respawn would keep working after israphel. the longer time goes on, the more he wants to test it.
