1 Character Headcanon Generator Improved
candyhenninger edited this page 4 weeks ago

Headcanon (or Personal Canon)-- refers to the personal beliefs or interpretations about canon that an author or reader makes to explain or account for some aspect of the actual canon. The headcanon itself, while not officially supported by the canon, tends also not to be actually disprovenor refuted by the canon and will therefore seem plausible in the mind of the fan who imagines it. Headcanons are as many and varied as the fans themselves, may be about the past, present, or future of the character or plot, and can be shared by others if particularly enticing or believable. In fact, if a headcanon is so popular that it gets adopted by many members of a fandom, it may eventually become accepted as fanon for that fandom.

And she certainly never saw either Gale or Peeta in a romantic light. While both boys are pining for her, Katniss is off making sure her mother and sister don’t starve to death. Relationships don’t even cross her mind until she finds out that Peeta likes her, and even then, theirs is not a romance she wants to engage in. She sees Peeta as nothing more than a friend, and the same goes for Gale. Katniss Everdeen is yet another aromantic asexual and no one will convince me otherwise. Remember in Frozen when Anna sang about finding a significant other because she was so isolated from the world that she had never experienced romance a day in her life?

Generates random short stories with imaginative plots. The example that made me think of this specifically was a debate a while back on social media over whether Captain Atom would have sided with the government during Civil War. Captain Atom's ongoing series, written by Cary Bates and Greg Weisman, was an excellent comic book filled with nuance. In that comic book, Captain Atom was quite willing to go against the United States government when he felt it was necessary.

I've seen it particularly in social situations, where you encounter a powerful entity who so discards your characters' challenges as so trivial and meaningless that it just sours things very early. I guess my point is pretty much the same as Andreah's. That your head canon should be self-contained and actually leave room for roleplaying and others to roleplay as well. Head canon is fine and all, but your head canon has to leave room for other people to also be super heroes in a super hero game.

[9] and manga series Saiyuki.[10] By 2009, headcanons had expanded outside of LiveJournal, appearing in a discussion of Axis Powers Hetalia on the My Anime List[11] forum. Later that year, the 2007 LiveJournal survey meme was shared on the Fantasmic Dreams[12] message boards, asking posters to share ten of their headcanons about Disney characters. Headcanon is an idea, belief or aspect of a character's personality or physicality that is present in a piece of fanwork that does not correspond with information present in the canonical material. Fans and fanfiction authors will often write with these aspects of their headcanon in mind. In certain cases, specific aspects of headcanon can evolve into fanon, which is a specific fandom belief is accepted to the point where it becomes widely accepted concept in the fandom, sometimes escalating to be embraced by canon work. Scedasticity has quantified which fanons and headcanons are in fact most popular among Silmarillion fans.

This level of customization ensures that while the hedcanon 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.

Together, they can help really give you a solid foundation to build off of. But there is one other thing to consider when making headcanon that doesn’t break the canon of the world. Eventually, as I got involved and fell in love with those particular characters, I started to believe that they were autistic but were undiagnosed and/or simply thought that the author wrote these autistic traits in these characters unintentionally.

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.

This one, in my opinion, is not dangerous for trans people unless it’s written with an extreme lack of tact. One of the best examples I can come up with is Haruhi from the anime and manga Ouran High School Host Club. From the beginning, she has a different view of gender because of the fact that her father is a trans woman (she still refers to herself as Haruhi’s father, so I’m going to stick with that). In fact, there are a lot of readings one can have of OHSHC where Haruhi is nonbinary.

Just look at the success of Good Omens for example, a story whose backbone is the Christian Bible but which in reality is so much more than that, in large part because of the massive fan community that has been built around it. There’s nobody enforcing headcanon as being good, bad, invalid, or just flat out contradictory. This isn’t a problem for all situations where the canon is being altered for the enjoyment of multiple people. If you don’t like headcanon generator in a fanfiction or fan theory, you can just ignore it.
