#but linebeck being genuinely kinda terrible to the point of occasionally antagonistic is fun and gives him more room to grow

Personal Linebeck headcanons part 2

part one: x

(under cut since this is a bit long again)

He’s got fairly low empathy, but has made a point to try and make up for that by becoming perceptive and teaching himself what most facial expressions look like and what they mean. Still, he has trouble reading the room and catching onto when someone is hiding their feelings, and sometimes it just goes right over his head if he doesn’t care to look into it.

He technically doesn’t know how to fight, but if he does have to fight, he fights dirty and like a cornered animal. He has bitten multiple people.

He’s not great at filtering what he says; he curses extremely frequently and can get really nasty with people he hates.

He actually hates interacting with other people and despises the reputation he’s built for himself.

Similarly, his social skills are actually pretty bad. He doesn’t really know how to honestly interact with others since he’s used to defaulting to masking in front of others and mimicking them.

He has polydactyly, with six toes on each foot. They’re all functional and haven’t caused any issues, but it makes it hell for him to find fitting shoes.

He draws a lot and is a pretty good artist in his own right. On the other hand, his handwriting is downright atrocious.

He likes the rain better than any other kind of weather. He gets colds often since he sits out the rain for a little too long, but has a good time with it anyways.

Of the three spirits, he ends up liking Leaf the most, even trusting him a bit.

He’s of Gerudo descent, and has in his possession some old Gerudo books and stories. He can read and even speak a bit of the Gerudo language, and sometimes insults people in it- that way, he avoids retaliation since pretty much no one else knows the language.
