seeing gapteethed's post reminded me i need to post my headcanons so um.

Oooh you're gonna read my indepth A&D headcanons below oooooooh

Ethan:

The youngest of the two siblings, Ethan is about 2 years younger than Carlie was.

His parents i think are fairly well off enough but not like Rich, i see them kinda like Scott Pilgrim’s parents, being able to support themselves and their kids and unintentionally kind of spoiling him in a way due to being new parents.

Because of his powers he doesn’t have a lot of long term scarring (more often than not something would inevitably ‘reset’ him back) but he does have some crowded teeth and acne scarring from even before he got his powers.

I headcanon he definitely has autism and ADHD (I mean look at him. It's canon to ME), and I think he also has some form of anxiety disorder and being prone to spiraling but he’s coped with it through distraction most of his life. None of these are diagnosed due to generally being brushed off as “just how he is”.

Struggles mostly with fine motor skills and focus leading to his clumsiness, over time he’s gotten better at socializing with others but still tends to have his ‘moments’ hence his general antics. Lucas and Carlie were his only real friends growing up.

He’s “straight” on paper, more so bisexual with a fem lean. He’s not even in denial, it’s just something he hasn’t really thought about and since he wasn’t 100% Into Guys like Lucas was, he just kinda left it at “Well i must be straight then”. Yknow that post that’s like “I think im nonbinary but I have to work so I don't really care about that rn”? That’s Ethan’s approach to his identity.

High-school level education, he never really saw much point in continuing it further and instead worked for a while until deciding to take the risk to open Gamehaven. Owns about the largest portion of the company due to the general assets being under his name.

In terms of work he doesn’t really do well with numbers + has a very loose idea of actually Running A Business but he does put in a lot of work in terms of physical stocking of shelves, event planning, and can handle most of the basics. What he lacks in understanding he makes up in enthusiasm.

His special interests mostly consist of superheroes (even before getting his own powers), the crown bowl, and gaming in general with heavier focus on series like Monster Hunter and Fallout. Hyperfocus is both his greatest strength and worst weakness as well as general tendency to bounce from interest to interest.

Irish American, similar to him in CAD.

Has a lot of little rusty skills he’s picked up over time, he’s actually not very mechanically inclined but he does enjoy creative stuff and can do some repair work with the help of Lucas and some videos. He’s innately curious.

Owns two separate phones, his actual one and the burner he calls the “Analog Phone” for all the calls to take as Analog. Until he exchanged numbers with Lilah, he never actually really used it.

Lucas:

Only child of a single mother, no real confirmed reason for this one it’s just Vibes.

Italian American, I think I saw somewhere someone said this was canon to CAD Lucas but i don't know if i ever actually found that out, it does feel right to me.

Used to play baseball like CAD Lucas had, but unlike him he kept up more with it. I see CAD Lucas being more bulky, bear type build with some muscle definition and A&D Lucas is more otter style build because he does more general workout + some slight “for aesthetics” reasons compared to pure bulk, also hero work just entails a lot of physical exercise.

Has to deal with chronic pain, as he has no form of natural ‘healing’ the physical damage and overexertion has caught up with him and it flares up every so often. What doesn’t help is he’s stubborn as an Ox and pushes through it, even when he REALLY shouldn’t. Some days are fine, he’s able to work and move around perfectly fine and some days he’s hobbling around and having pain spikes as well as generalized dull aching. More of a “throw back an Advil and just pretend it isn’t hurting” kind of guy.

Just generally very bad at being completely honest about himself and his emotions, he’s able to balance being “open” with others in a mostly sarcastic joking way and yet being incredibly closed off in terms of his actual feelings. He’s very cautious and has been burnt before. Constantly on the edge of being confident in himself in terms of physical aesthetics and terrified of anyone actually getting to know him.

Because he, again, has no form of healing he has a lot of small, faint scars on his body that have had to been patched up by Scott, they’re mostly healed but they still stay on the skin.

He’s canonically gay and I also see him as Demiromantic bordering mostly Aromantic. He’s much more comfortable and driven to physical intimacy than anything further than that and usually that’s fine for him, but his romantic intimacy skills are much more rusty because he just doesn’t feel that as strongly.

Has been friends with Ethan since elementary similar to CAD, did have a crush on him more so around middle school when he was coming to terms with being gay but those feelings have mostly come to pass and he sees him more platonically now. Also had his growth spurt later than Ethan, a fact that Ethan greatly enjoyed for a few months until he finally caught up with him.

Autistic, just on a much more ‘stealth’ level compared to either Ethan and Scott. He didn’t really want to delve too deep into it, so he’s gotten by just being “A little intense about things” or “Just a little weird at times”. Gets obsessive over his hobbies and interests, but plays them off more casually if not talking to Scott or Ethan because he fears judgment.

The least close to Carlie out of the three, but the two had been fairly close for his standards. She was the first person he felt comfortable coming out to (Or more so just happened to be the one in the room at 2 AM at a sleepover when he felt he had to get it out to SOMEONE) and she swore not to tell anyone about it. They had a relationship where they simultaneously knew very little about each other but also trusted the other on an unspoken level.

Went to a community college for about a year, loosely following for a computer science degree before taking the risk with Ethan for Gamehaven to put in some of his savings for a share of the company.

Handles most of the orders and works along with Ethan front-desk, being sort of the glue holding the other two together. Also able to lift heavier machines and move things around due to being the strongest of the trio.

TTRPG fan, enjoys games with solid gameplay loops and a focus on story, also enjoys playing 40k Warhammer.

Scott:

My specifics are still kind in the air about him, but I imagine him being mixed with (for now unless things change) a Greek-German father and a Turkish (GET IT CAUSE BIRD) – Indian mother. Mostly grew up in Germany as the middle child of three siblings who moved ‘temporarily’ to America to pursue a degree at MIT and live with some family there.

Due to his disability and general lack of ability or desire to see his family however, he is essentially landlocked in America and is unable to see his family back home unless they’re able to go over to see him.

Still knows a good bit of German but it has become more lost to time, doesn’t know much as much Turkish, Greek, or Hindi besides a few key phrases here and there.

I think his family is very well off, much more so even compared to Ethan’s, thus even allowing Scott to go to MIT along with general scholarships and such as well as allowing him to live in a fairly expensive apartment, though along with working he also does do additional work with repairs and coding to keep himself above waters and pay for additional technology.

Graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Economics, and Data Science (at the cost of several gray hairs on his already early graying head), mostly focusing on his degree at the cost of his social life so Carlie was one of his only friends and first and only partner before her death.

Wasn’t very close with Ethan until her death, in my mind they have a very ‘my dumbass brother’ type relationship.

In terms of the business he handles the accounting side and numbers of the business, technically has the least share of the company but he doesn’t really care to “own” Gamehaven anyways. He just wants to show up to work, get his paycheck, and do something he finds fulfilling. (Plus Ethan and Lucas tend to be more understanding of his needs and problems than a traditional work environment)

A massive geek at heart, having fixations on sci-fi or fantasy media like Beserk and Star Wars. Didn’t engage much with it out loud back home but has been able to slowly break out of his shell at Gamehaven because of the already very geeky environment and become more Him.

Also Autistic, in fact he’s the only one who is formally diagnosed. Low empathy, struggling with black and white thinking as well as adjusting to change. Depressive like in canon, varying levels of functioning depending on energy levels. Strongest symptoms relate mostly to insomnia and negative self image.

Demibiromantic and Amantesexual, but again, only partner he’s had has been Carlie.

Picks up multiple hobbies and skills to keep his mind busy, in terms of games he enjoys mechanics focused ones such as Dwarf Fortress, Rimworld, and Factorio. Also plays 40k with Lucas and enjoys RPGs like Zelda and Fallout, being more a fan of the earlier games compared to Ethan preferring the later games.

His hair is naturally curlier, around a 2C texture, but to make it easier to manage he tends to straighten it down.

Big fan of console modding and right to repair, not as Full Speed for the sake of jokes as his CAD counterpart, but does still hold a very pro-linux standpoint.

Prone to compulsive lying out of a desire to either keep things close to his chest or to protect others.

Does try to make sure he has a good physical health in terms of taking medication and doing the general things he Should, but he's not great at taking care of himself on a mental level. Also just general hygiene issues that come with depression.
