character headcanon generator
So long as you follow what I said about giving other characters an "out" as to explain why your headcanon does not apply, you'll be fine. The bigger issue is balancing power and keeping it from being the ultimate Swiss army knife. While I address that in my post on power levels, if I write an article on utilizing magic in roleplay, it'll go into special considerations for magic.

Less waiting for the games to get a future update and more waiting for my life to get one. If canon does not explicitly state something, it cannot be used in an argument. Don’t make people play YOUR headcanons, they can only play their own or those they share with you. An arguement about making your headcanon work for them can only be done as a hypothetical, and you do not have the right to force them to obey it. Give them a chance to explain, and then say gently, "That sounds great, but with MY version…" and they should have the same courtesy to listen to your side of it. Work with each other, see if you can make more maybe.

So before we talk about how you can utilize canon to make your headcanon for roleplay, it’s important we talk about the three arbitrary types of canon that I made up for the purposes of this write-up. A notion behind canon is that conversations about literature rely on shared reading experiences—so long as everyone reads the same books, readers will know they are talking about the same ideas. Naturally, this use of canon extended to fan circles, referring not just to the books and movies that concern the same group of characters, but to the narrative universe that exists inside those works. While character headcanon generators are undoubtedly valuable tools, they also come with challenges.

For writers, the benefits of using a character headcanon generator are manifold. Firstly, they save time by providing a starting point, eliminating the daunting task of creating a character from scratch. This can be particularly helpful during the initial stages of writing or when experiencing writer's block. Additionally, the random nature of the generator can lead to unexpected character traits or histories that add depth and originality to your stories. This unpredictability can push writers out of their comfort zones, encouraging them to explore new narrative avenues and character dynamics.

I loved every minute of that story, and as I said, it has irrevocably changed the way I perceive Jonathan’s character. Jonathan Crane was meant to be asexual, and I desperately wish that DC Comics would make this one canon. In September 2007, a survey about headcanon circulated around LiveJournal[8], encouraging users to discuss their personal ideas from any fandom. In 2008, LiveJournal users continued to discuss headcanons in the fandoms of the anime series Baccano!

But how awesome would it be if Ana were ace (and consenting)? We would end up with a super popular story starring an asexual character in a BDSM relationship. Remember, just because someone is ace doesn’t mean that that someone will never engage in relationships or sex, or enjoy them. Hell, even I’ll admit that when I’m reading fanfiction, the only sex scenes I mildly enjoy are the ones that take place in BDSM relationships.

This level of customization ensures that while the generator provides the initial spark, you remain in control of your character's final form. Such flexibility allows for the creation of characters that are both inspired and aligned with your story's overarching themes. One of the exciting aspects of character headcanon generators is their versatility across different genres.

At one point in the fifth season of The Clone Wars, she even goes out of her way to save Obi-Wan’s life. She does the same for Ahsoka, but she doesn’t love Ahsoka. She loves Obi-Wan—you know it to be true—and someday I hope that both Asajj and Obi-Wan can get together to engage in some romantic, but totally not sexual, cuddling with each other. I’m not sure if this counts as a headcanon when the television show, Game of Thrones, all but admitted to us that Varys is asexual. Throughout the series, everyone always assumes that Varys likes men—sometimes they insinuate that he likes little boys—but these are things that Varys neither confirms nor denies. In fact, he never talks about his sexual preferences, at least until Oberyn Martell comes along.

Headcanoncan be defined as that which an individual believes to be true about somethingwithin the source material that has no explicit confirmation, althoughheadcanon can derive from a fan theory. Fanon is when something is believed tobe true by the majority or a large minority of the fandom and becomesintertwined with the mythos of the text. Another term that should be defined is"fan theory". A fan theory is created when precedent from the source text isused to construct a postulation that is then evaluated for its validity in thesource text. I initially thought that headcanons were a type of fan theory created by someone who had little knowledge of autism and is subject to debate, or simply a fan’s opinion that deserved to be treated with respect. Still under the influence of my internalized ableism, I first arrogantly rejected these headcanons on the basis on they were made by neurotypicals who only understood autism by its negative and positives stereotypes.

I’ve already talked about the BBC’s Sherlock Holmes and his potential asexuality in detail a while back. Though series creator Steven Moffat said Sherlock is in no way asexual because asexual people are "boring"—fuck you too, Moffat—I feel as though asexuality perfectly defines Sherlock’s character. Sherlock doesn’t show any outward interest in sex, never actively pursues any relationship for the sake of romance, and when he thinks someone is interested in him, he’s pretty quick to turn that person down. In "A Study in Pink", while talking to Watson, Sherlock reveals that having a girlfriend is "not his area" and he also heavily implies that he’s not interested in men either. Earlier in the conversation, he tells Watson that he finds the whole relationship thing dull. So I don’t know what Moffat was talking about.
