Z = Zooted (Do they partake in alcohol or drugs? If so, why?)
I'm gonna be honest, when I first heard about headcanon alphabets, I genuinely thought there would be a hc alphabet specifically for the characters personality. When I found out that was only 3 (romantic sfw, nsfw and agere) I was baffled, cuz like, how could y'all think of a sexual headcanon alphabet and none for our characters themselves? What?? *Asexual indignation.*
So, I decided to coin this alphabet. Because we need it. But please, read the warnings and disclaimers after this alphabet, they might be important (90% of chances it will /hj).
Beware, under the cut:
The General Headcanons Alphabet
A- Amused (How does their sense of humour look like? Is it broken?):
B- Brave (How brave are they? How sensitive are they to graphic scenes, also?):
C- Creative (How creative are they? Are they creative to the point of being able to create entire worlds, or they can't come up with the most basic gambiarra?):
D- Disability, Disorder or Divergence (Does this character has a disorder of any kind? A disability or a neurodivergence?):
E- Emotional (Are they emotional and sensitive, or a stone-hearted person? What are their levels of empathy?):
F- Fearful (What are their deepest fears?):
G- Gender (Self explanatory):
H- Hate (What do they dislike with a burning passion?):
I- Inside Angel (How strong is their sense of justice? What are their morals?)
J- Jelly Jam (What makes them nostalgic? What was their favourite thing as a kid?):
K- Kisser (What is their orientation? Lesbian, gay, straight, etc.?):
L- Love (What do they like, what are their interests?):
M- Mornings (How are they like, waking up? Are they a morning person?):
N- Nights (How are they like, when they're going to sleep? Do they sleep easily, or are there nights where they can't even close their eyes?):
O- Object (Comfort object that they have, or an object that has a big emotional importance to them, if they got any.):
P- Positive (How optimistic are they?):
Q- Questioner (How curious are they?):
R- R.E.N (What is their race? Do they have an ethnic background of any kind? And what is their nationality, by the way?):
S- Self (Is their self-steem low or high? What do they see when they look in the mirror and what do they think about themselves?):
T- Trauma (Do they have trauma of any kind? What is it, and/or how did it affect them?):
U- Unbiased (From the Brazilian popular saying “oblems, oblems, oblems, each one with their own problems” to tiktok conservatives, how much do they care or have an option on what other people are doing, as long as they aren't hurting themselves and others?):
V- Vigilant (How trusting are they?):
W- Wild Card (The most random headcanon you have about them!):
X- X, the treasure marker (How persistent are they when searching for their goals and dreams?):
Y- Yappa, Yappa, Yappa (Are they talkative? Or do they listen more?):
Z- Zen (How far will their patience go? And what drives them into rage?):
Disclaimers:
This alphabet was made with both headcanons and ocs in mind, so, if something seems off, it might be because of it.
When going for the r.e.n. part, PLEASE know how to differentiate ethnicity, race and nationality. Ethnicity has no impact on race now with nationality, because it is about what cultural group you are apart of.
If you are using this for headcanons and you don't headcanon an specific piece differently from canonic (i.e.: “A- Amused”: Character canonically laughed at the wind and you don't headcanon anything different from that.), you can mention that it's not different from canon.
Btw, latinoamerican and Judaism are ethnicities (+ethno religion, in the case of the Jews), and not races. I need to say this for the 10th billionth time, because most of you are white and United Stadian or European, and most of y'all don't understand this basic piece of information! /Light hearted, but very disappointed.
The R.E.N. section was also made with original characters in mind, mostly. So if you're using it for fandom character hcs, avoid whitewashing non white characters, because I'm also a person of colour.
Someone already did something like this before me, but when I saw it, this post was already under production. But I'd like to give credits to @tranzfalgar for having the original idea.
For all, these are all the warnings needed. Enjoy this template!
