Headcannons I have for Heckyl because heās my favourite character of all time and I want to talk about him!!
1. I mightāve said this in a previous post but he canāt handle the cold, like at all. Mostly because I think thatās Sledges ship was very warm so over time his body got used to it, also because of the power of the Dark Energem coursing through him whether he knew it or not.
Also I think he was also a sickly child and was never good in the cold to begin with-
Thatās why Heckyl is always wearing lots of long coats and multiple layers!!
2. Adding onto that, he also likes warm drinks such as tea, though he doesnāt like the taste of coffee, unless itās one of those loaded ones from somewhere like Starbucks, because itās too bitter for him.
3. Kind of also leading on from the previous one, he has a massive sweet tooth, though I think his favourite thing to eat would be some sort of cake and his favourite thing to drink would be hot chocolate!!
4. He and Zenowing knew each other before Earth.
HEAR ME OUT, Heckyl was with Lord Arcanon for sometime before he was captured by Sledge and we know that Zenowing was turned to Doomwing shortly after Arcanon got ahold of the Dark Energem.
Sooo I think at one point when Heckyl wasnāt Snide and Zenowing somehow was able to get control of the body, they met somehow and formed a sort of unlikely friendship, after all they were both in a similar situation though Zenowing had his memories and Heckyl didnāt.
5. He didnāt sleep at all between becoming Snide and being separated from him.
I think once either him or Snide got ātiredā they would just turn into the other and so thatās how their bodies got rest, thatās also how I think him and Zenowing met because it would also work the same way from him and Doomwing.
ALSO, because of this, once he and Snide separated, he had really bad insomnia and anxiety. The insomnia because he hadnāt slept for millions of years and kinda forgot how to and anxiety because to sleep heād have to leave his body vulnerable and Snide wasnāt there to take over and protect him.
6. I know itās not exactly matching with the timeline the show gave us buuuutt,
Between going back in time defeating Sledge and sending everyone home to their original times and planets, there was about five month period that happened where Heckyl had to hang out with the Dino Charge Rangers.
Mostly because I feel like Ivan, Koda and Zenowing going back in time instantly to their respective periods with no hesitation after being told they couldnāt really come back to see the Rangers was a little rushed and I feel like they need the time to make a decision (though I also headcannon they can just come back whenever because wibbily wobbly timey wimey shenanigans)
7. Kinda takes place more in the comics rather then in the show but it can be in both:
Heckyl has bad nightmares, in the show because of Snide and not wanting to āreuniteā with him and because I think Sledge did more then keep him in a cell for millions of years, and in the comics and onwards because he killed Zenowing who was basically the only person he felt he could really count on to keep him in check and now heās gone heās afraid heās going to because like his past self again.
8. Heckyl is extremely protective over the Dark Energem and has never let it leave his body or sight since he arrived at the Promethia - I want to write a fic about this in the future, about a monster somehow getting their hands on it and he crashes out, I think itād be funny :3
9. The team on the Promethia (Kimberly, Cam, etc) donāt know that; a) heās not human at all, like they just think he can use his weird lightning magic because of the Dark Energem, and b) he wasnāt originally a ranger and was instead a major antagonist (though Cam and Kim know the basic rundown of what happened in PRDC and that heās not human only after #35).
10. The lightning magic blasts he can wield have a chance to burn him if heās not careful, especially since heās able to harness the power of the Dark Energem, heās also burned people more then once.
11. He bleeds a different colour compared to Humans, Iām thinking something like black so it could be mistaken as just a really dark shade of red, might also write something about that.
12. He can use a sword, really well. Like, Zenowing probably taught him everything he knew before he died so Heckyl is just really competent with a sword, even though he doesnāt use it often.
I donāt know why, I also like the idea of him using throwing knives, maybe because I think heās a good long range fighter in generalā¦ now imagine if he had a gun-
13. When he was captured in PRCF, they interrogated him violently, like my guy was not okay after it but he fought on during the battle with the Rangers and afterwards had a panic attack or something because it reminded him too much of Sledgeās ship and how he was treated there :3
Donāt worry, Tarrick and Billy helped him and they all kinda trauma bonded together.
14. Heckyl was jumpy around Tarrick at first because of how his species can look into peopleās minds so it reminded him of how his mind wasnāt his own for millions of years.
Tarrick convinced Heckyl to show him what happened during a couple of those years and then thatās why he was so panicky when he couldnāt get a hold of/find Heckyl when he was taken to prison.
Thank pretty much it, I realised I talked wayyyy too much about some of by headcannons but I love sharing them sooo oh well!!
Let me know some of yours and comment about the ones youād like to see me possible write about now exams arenāt kicking my ass </3
