When he was a kid, he drank Ovaltine for six months straight to earn a cheap nickle coin the size of a half dollar that was enameled to look like Captain America's shield.
As a teenager he would watch the stars and wonder what it would be like to fly in space like in the comics.
Thalia's acrophobia is tied to her unresolved feelings with her father. Also because of her father's decree about the Gods not interfere with their children's lives, she feels personally responsible for them.
Beast Boy is so into the super hero life and adventure as a way to protect himself from the trauma of his mother's death.
Kate Kane plays classical and flamenco guitar.
In the 20th century, specifically the late 1980s, Palamedes will be roped into managing Scathach's all girl punk band. 600 years earlier, he also helped Scathach in rescuing Joan of Arc and the two have known each other since Arthur. He's one of the few knights who saw the value in her methods of unarmed combat. In the last part of the 19th century, he will also fall in love with Sarah Bernhardt.

He loves climbing trees.
He is emotionally immature due to not having been around his own age group much. With his intelligence and the social norms of the early 60s, it just wasn't a consideration.
He has had maybe two real friends and only one crush until he meet Raven. She was his first love. She is also the biggest reason for his fighting for mutant rights in the future (if they have rights then she won't have to fight and they can be back together).
He and Storm had a brief relationship which ended when he went to Washington. (Tell me that scene in X3 wasn't a little too friendly.)

One of the quickest ways for Charles to lose track of time is to just listen to the minds around him. Since the tempo of thoughts is different from that of what's said aloud, its a kind of mediation for him, though he also needs to do the opposite at times and not listen to the minds around him.
Moist loves clothes, one reason he enjoys being a conman as much as he does is that he loves finding the right suit and the right look for the job. He enjoys details and getting them right.
William wishes sometimes that dime novels held a little more truth in them, because the more he knows, the harder it is to really get lost in them.
Jane is always in the midst of writing at least three things if not more, because she doesn't want to lose anything.
Demeter never wears shoes, she needs to feel the ground under her feet.
Sameth has a bad habit of forgetting to sleep and eat when he's deep in a project. His family doesn't always notice because getting deep into your work is a family tradition.
Tumnus loves tea less for the taste and more because growing up having tea meant hearing his father talk about what Narnia was like before the White Witch. Then when the Witch ruled, tea with the Beavers meant company though it was always a little awkward, for a moment he wasn't as alone. Lucy taught him to enjoy the taste of tea and what's beside it again as she loves discovering what goes with Narnian tea.
I can't think of one for the Pirate King at the moment.

1. She dislikes watermelon, partly due to making herself sick on it once when she was very small.
2. Her aversion to wearing the color black comes from its association in her mind with her father's "business associates" and with all the funerals during the Wars.
3. Her frequent fights with her mother comes from Rae's mother seeing a lot of Rae's father in their daughter's temperament, and aggressively worrying about how that inheritance (along with other things that might have been inherited) might get Rae into trouble/danger/etc., and it comes from Rae's overreaction to her mother's worrying, and from her fears that if she does turn out to be too like her dad, her mom might shut her out as well.
4. Though she never paid too much attention to the subject in school, apart from what parts she could see the practical applications for (re: baking), Rae is quite good at chemistry. That's what baking is, after all.
5. Her greatest fear is losing her humanity.
Yrael:
1. He still occasionally wanders the Ninth Precinct of Death, on the off-chance he should meet Astarael.
2. It bothers him that he can't always tell where Yrael ends and Mogget begins, what traits are his and which are catlike traits he has picked up in the intervening millenia.
3. He can swim. He just chooses not to, thank you very much.
4. Yrael would likely not be a very good dancer, were it not for the aforementioned catlike traits.

Random threadjack...
Also, that icon is magic.

(Hee, thanks. :D)

Although.
1) Jack is definitely first going to get Horus' treats-of-choice from Bar at some point.
2) He totally learnt to rock-climb at university.
That's probably everything Headcanon about Jack that I've realised so far.

- is hetero-leaning bisexual.
- has a fairly textbook case of combined-type ADHD. (I haven't made up my mind headcanon-wise as to whether he's aware of this or not. All I can say is if the writers didn't intend this characterization of him, they did an amazing job of doing it accidentally.)
- is very touchy and physically affectionate once he lets himself get close to people.
- is a sleep-talker.
- had a very close relationship with his mom when he was young (which is implied in canon) and is still somewhat conflicted about his feelings post-divorce.
Fry:
- had a Star Trek fanfic-reading habit in high school.
- once, by random fluke, got a perfect score on a math test, and didn't tell anyone because he thought they'd think he cheated.
Brisco:
- adopted/semi-tamed a stray dog when he was a kid, despite his parents' objections.

I'd love to hear some of yours for Henry and Gus, though I think we've discussed most of it.
no subject
I'm playing a lot of what I've fiddled with in our other 'verses in Milliways. Gus I tend to lean a bit on his relationship with his parents (they think he's gay and that's why he hasn't gotten married yet) and his codependent relationship with Shawn (he needs Shawn as much as Shawn needs him and at the same time he wonders what his life would be like without him).
Henry I'm definitely tapping everything. History of alcoholism, the questionable reasons for the divorce, etc.

Also awww Brisco <3

She picked up the basics of gardening and cooking from her parents, though more of the former stuck than the latter.
She took an interest in flying when she was a young teenager, and once the bug bit, it never went away.
Besides English and Kweyol, Sariel knows a little Mandarin and Spanish, courtesy friends among the Enterprise crew (Lian and Sonya), as well as a few words of Vulcan. Those words are 'course and speed' and 'current heading'. According to Selar, Sariel's pronunciation isn't great, but she can probably make herself understood if necessary.
She can both dance and sing, though she's more comfortable with showing off the former than the latter. She got the singing from both parents - they both can - and the dancing from many years of attending carnival.
Bonus sixth! She does believe in the existence of a god, though she doesn't conform to any one religion. She does pray, and on occasion has lit candles for people.

Elle's OOC reference post is kind of old, so I'll do a few here -
1) Her parents separated before she was born, and she lived mainly with her mother with monthly visits from her father until she was six. Her mother died in a car crash a few months after she was taken into the Company.
2) It's sort of indicated in the show, but her father played the cello.
3) Elle's favorite books on her father's bookshelf were an encyclopedia of Greek Mythology and a book of Emily Dickinson poetry. She read a lot of his books (also including The Wizard of Oz and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland) out of boredom.
4) Matt Neuenberg (a teenage boy with eidetic memory whom Elle brought into the Company, in the tie-in comics) made Elle watch Fight Club.
5) Elle is pansexual.
Leslie:
1) Thinks turtles are condescending because of the fable of the tortoise and the hare - she isn't really one for 'slow and steady wins the race.'
2) She likes reading some YA in addition to historical nonfiction and political biographies, and sometimes puts cartoons on in the background when working at home, when she gets tired of news networks. But there's not that much she watches regularly - Ben usually coaxes her in to watching things, like Game of Thrones.
3) Leslie's mother is also a sweet tooth, though her father was the one who tended to indulge it.
4) She tried to learn other languages in high school and college, mostly focusing on Spanish and French, but she doesn't really have a talent for it.
5) She makes some pretty great breakfast food (the only kind of meal where she is a particularly good cook, especially if it's pancakes or something that can involve sugar), but she's too busy to cook very often.
Manny:
1) Has his own place, though for dead souls comfort and sustenance is something that exists more out of habit than need. They do have all the sensory abilities they'd normally have, but don't rest or food isn't really required, it's just done anyway.
2) Manny's only family was his mother, who predeceased him. He didn't make a lot of friends in life because he tended to be competitive as well as the 'golden boy' type he now dislikes.
3) I like to think he died in some really anti-climactic way, like a flowerpot fell from a high window and smashed in his skull.

Headcanon the first: Voodoo and John's hands are actually pretty soft. They wear gloves most of the time, which mitigates a lot of wear and tear on their hands.
Aaaand that's all you get for now. DEUCES.

Dixie: wins the county family homestead back in a poker game.
She proposes to Brisco.
