Hi, I don't know if your asks are open but do you have any Zetta headcanons to share?
AFUBDUIHAAFSGTREWJJAJWDFH‼️‼️‼️💜💜💜
ahem. *some of these are adopted.
- He/They
- Also sorta It/Its, but that's more of a holdover from being treated as a lab experiment for their first few months of existence. More so that he doesn't really protest if you do refer to them as it/its + he's used to it.
- Transmasc/Genderfluid. Flipflopping between em . AFAB varies on being Ambivalent to Liking dresses, though doesn’t w/ uniform.
- Doesn't really label their sexuality (don’t mind labels, but isn’t going outta their way to), although presents/reads as demi cause of. trauma/trust issues, and. all that.
- Madelis & Geara introduced him to the general concept of LGBTQ+ and Nastasia gave him a list of pronouns, genders, sexualities, and other terms/etc., later
- kinda considers Geara & Madelis his first friends, although he’s aware these aren’t very… typical friendships. Or all that healthy. Or would actually be considered friendships by almost anyone else.
- person they’re closest to is Geara
- Xen execs have the kill switch like grunts do -> It essentially got injected into him while they were being made. It’s. It’s in one of his bones or smth.
- Does have psychic powers* but the scientists/researchers taking "care" of him unintentionally trained it out of him because they at first they confused it with possible Archetype powers and they were super harsh/annoyed about it w/ him. So he just. internalized that psychic powers Weren't Allowed.
Yeah Xen Mages exist but that seems to be a different type of magic, also Zetta reasoned that. He Isn't a Xen Mage. So. He's not Allowed to. Xen Mages are Allowed. He is Not.
* = Mainly telepathy & telekinesis, though he is/would be able to divine/tell the future if he trained up his psychic powers.
Either (flip flopping between them) the other execs find out and explain that it's fine (and very encouraged, actually. A psychic Xen Exec would be useful), so they'll casually use telekinesis or, presumably when Melia gets him and there's like. down time or smth. Melia/The Team sorta tell him it's. fine. As long as he doesn't try anything. w/ Team Xen I feel like Nastasia and/or Geara would help him the most with his powers, cause. yk. psychic/deoyxs specialist & someone generally experienced with supernatural shit.
- Has (mainly) needle scars from being experimented on. Also some light surgery scars.
- They has long hair. He braids it up.
- Tbh if they ever had to go undercover/disguise themself in public he'd literally just need to keep his hair down and change his clothes lol.
- likes moon-stargazing. - saw the sky/sun/generally the outside world about 2 months after being created. Saw the actual outside world that isn't the Badlands about 3 months after creation; stopped dead in his tracks before being pushed to continue the mission, though when he had the downtime he essentially spent all of it just exploring/looking around. - Photography hobby if he was Allowed/able/was plausible in Xen in way possible. (cough cough melia similarity)
- Genuinely doesn't understand the idea of a day off/vacation that isn't for rest (ex. Madelis taking a day off to go shopping or smth)
- Gave themself the last name Silvallia from Silvally. (He loves his dog‼️)
- The Type:Null/Silvally was originally from Geara (from Wispy Tower) and turned them over/had them taken care of by the Research/Science wing of Team Xen; Geara technically had main ownership but didn't really care for them. Zetta met the Type:Null as he was coming in & out of the testing/being experimented on and became fast friends, so Geara gave them to Zetta and let him name them. - Zepto was Zetta's first pokemon.
- He got his Typhlosion/Cyndaquil indirectly from Jenner.
- He, his Weavlie/Sneasel & his Meowth/Purrserker all take care/help with each other's hair(or feathers, in Weavile's case) whenever they have the time.
- Let's his Absol leave and come back as she wants to find disasters. Main stipulation is that she has to not be followed back to HQ.
- Found Minior while stargazing (Noticed falling minior & found the Moon Field).
- Found Dratini/Dragonair after getting out of the pocket dimension on Terajuma
- Understands Pokemon
- play fights with them when he’s by themself
- Doesn't know his birthday (duh). Eventually made it the day he chose his name as Zetta - old "name" was M^21, "M" or "21"
- Math nerd
- "Zetta" is more just the translation of his old code name. It's still technically just a number. I flip flop between him considering the name "Zetta" as a code name (and therefore doesn't have an actual name) or Zetta being his actual name (and therefore doesn't have any seperation of agency/identity from Xen). - (I really do like the word "zetta" itself + him being a math nerd and therefore naming themself Zetta).
- considers his coat like a safety blanket. Essentially feels too vulnerable/exposed w/o it.
- internally considers Melia as his big sister.
- Identity/Autonomy issues
- complicated feeling abt Jenner… (Jenner doesn’t particularly know that Zetta is a clone off Melia. He knows Zetta’s a lab experiment. This is entirely from that relationship chart where Zetta’s like “worst step dad ever” and Jenner’s like “I’M WHAT”)
- Coordination problems during their first month of existing (still has some, every once in a while).
- Their skin feels weird/has an odd texture (It's the solosis/reuniclus membrane being translated into human form).
- They are particular about textures.
- Autism (pokemon autism????)
- Understands things in a very... uh. Clinical way? Like they're sorta particular about defining/organizing things like a file cabinet or smth. This is part from being raised in a research center. So. yeah. If. That makes sense.
- Is also particular about things being equal/balanced (if he is Allowed), if that makes sense.
- He's lighter or heavier on his feet (usually lighter) than the average person. Heavier when he remembers that he's walking (in the same way one remembers they're breathing), and then lighter than most cause the Solosis line floats and he unintentionally sorta/slightly does.
- Going off on that too, Weight-wise, he also reads as a bit lighter than he actually is, if that makes sense.
- melts in (verrrrrrrrrry) high stress
- Isn't affected by weather/climate (Overcoat ability). ("It's fucking hot as hell here how the fuck are you still wearing a wool turtleneck???" "[idk noise 🤷]") - Also looks oddly dry in rain/skin looks hydrophobic in rain.
- Likes Sweets (Naive nature) (aghfaouughhh smth smth naive nature zetta being born in team fucking xen of all place😭)
- He's still. Sorta naive. Like he takes things at face value. Depending on what it was or smth he maybe figure it out a bit later. Just. Yeah. asifshouughhhh
- Don't always consider it but naive -> serious nature (he loses his sweet tooth...😭)
- (Ok this isn't really a hc set in stone it's more speculation mixed with a Schrodinger's headcanon). Look. Look. If the solosis in the Nightmare Casino Zetta fights us with could be presumed to actually represent irl Zetta. Either Team Xen literally hatched a Solosis and experimented on them, or Crescent reverse candied the fuck outta him. And. I don't know which one is worse
- Going off on that he could totally just. Casually munch on EXP Candy. ("...What the fuck are you eating." "Some candy." "That's EXP Candy." "....yeah?" [Exasperated & Incredulous sigh]) Or he adds the small ones into his coffee or smth like you would sugar packets.
On a side note. I percieve EXP Candy as sort of. Condensed (healthy) stress? Going off the logic in this, the logic behind simply leveling up is a Pokemon gaining (healthy) stress in battle, aka. Well. Experience. So. To a human that might as well be a condensed heart attack/adrenaline shot. So the other Executives have the general idea that Zetta is. Probably not a normal human.
Additionally they (subtly) alluded to the fact that they're a lab experiment/generally born-created unusually (but not that they're a pokemon), and the other Xen Execs sorta figured out he's literally ever only known Team Xen.
- Can take at least a hit from a [strong] pokemon move like it's nothing/a minor inconvience. (Source: *gets hit w/ a Charge Beam that knocked out other people in one hit* "...ouch?"🤷) - On a side note the fainting right after and getting back up after a minute was like. Half a hint to him being a pokemon, yeah?
- Not so much a headcanon but. Yk. there's this line, from (I think) Madelis, that said they had talked about their motives for joining team Xen, and Neved & Nastasia didn't tell. I'm wondering what the hell Zetta could've said. His motive is not dying. His motive is the circumstance of literally knowing nothing else.
anywayyyyyyy annsfhbahshha‼️‼️‼️💜💜💜 thank yoouuu for asking
