Hi-Fi RUSH Headcannons!
Chai had a congenital nerve defect that stopped him from using his right arm. Partially as a result, he is left-handed.
The reason Korsica’s password shows up as ‘PASSWORD’ at the end of the game is that every password input at Vandelay shows up like that rather than using ‘•••••••‘. Zanzo made the change because he thought it was funny. Unfortunately, it also means that every password has to be exactly eight characters.
Macaron has no particular preference for spicy food, but he has a truly ungodly tolerance for it. He can fully just eat a Carolina Reaper with a straight face. Korsica’s the complete opposite, but she has a predilection for blue cheese.
808 purrs like a normal cat, but when she gets really into it it’s like a phone vibrating.
Macaron writes some of the most beautifully well-documented code you’ve ever seen. Peppermint doesn’t.
Before Peppermint left the Vandelay family, they had a building called the ‘shame shed’ that was full of Peppermint’s half-finished side projects.
Chai’s family - and Chai himself - aren’t very well off, which is why he wasn’t able to do anything about his arm until Vandelay announced Project Armstrong.
Korsica is the only member of the band - besides the man himself - who can bench Macaron.
Macaron has a secret soft-spot for death metal.
CNMN sleeps. He doesn’t need to, but he’s given himself timed shutdown hours like a laptop.
808 also doesn’t need to sleep. This has not stopped her.
Korsica has a well-maintained fitness regimen that starts at 5am and ends at 7. Chai doesn’t know what 9am is.
Macaron’s cooking is a gift from the gods. CNMN’s tastes like it comes from a store. It’s uncanny.
Chai is ace.
Peppermint absolutely wrecks shop at paintball. If the band ever plays, it’ll be three teams with her on her own.
808 is afraid of water. This is wholly practical, as she isn’t waterproof. Chai is also not waterproof, and at some point he’s going to learn that the hard way.
The band’s skill at Smashbros is ranked thusly; Peppermint, CNMN, Chai/Macaron, 808, Korsica.
The bosses’ skill at Smashbros is ranked; Mimosa, Kale, Rekka, Zanzo, Roquefort.
Roxanne has never played Smashbros, but if she did, she would absolutely dominate. Second only to LU-C1LLE.
The little vacuum bot’s name is H0-0V1E

Alright, now that I've finished swap! Chai...
Ah, a decision between a funky goofy robot, a sweet, if not slightly invasive mountain of a man, and a southern bad bitch butch, all 3 of which deserve more love and attention than they get.
Interested in seeing the results...

*downs coffee like a shot* Before we go back to our regularly scheduled Linktober/Linktober Shadow (because I don't leave things unfinished if I can help it), I gotta get the idea of Revenant First out of my system and y'all get to suffer with me until it eventually ceases being an idea and it turns into an actual story. For some reason we talk a lot about First already being alive or already a ghost by the time the Chain meets him, but I don't think I've ever heard someone talk about him actually coming back to life and so y'all get to suffer with my insane ramblings like I'm an 1800's psychic ward patient who believes themselves to be a witch.
Can be x Reader or not idk just an idea that won't leave my mind.
Might expand on this later so Part out of I/?
Revenant First, who died for his people and in the name of his Goddess. All alone on the surface, fighting, fighting, fighting, always fighting. Just to make the land a little safer before the next hero arrives, just to contain the Imprisoned for a little while longer with likely nothing than a ordinary, common sword to his name and a slowly rusting armor.
Always giving so so so much for his people, always doing his best to protect them, though they scorned him, loathed him, didn't believe or support him, rejected him.
With a spirit so strong and lovely that a Goddess fell for him, hated herself for having to manipulate and put him through such horrid experiences just to save the many, just to turn the diamond of his soul into an unbreakable lonsdaleite blade agaisnt a mad deity.
Someone whose will would be enough to keep him going, just one more fight right? Just one more kill right? Forward, forward, ever onward, it doesn't matter if the flesh decays, if the blood drips drips drips until he is dry of it, if the liver doesn't process nutrients, if the lungs don't draw air, if the nerves feel nothing but the cold cold numbness of the winter of his final years, if the heart doesn't beat. If the armor rusts or the sword breaks. He must keep going, he must keep fighting.
To keep them safe he must have faith, faith that he can keep going, to grasp onto that one.single.thread of purpose until the day that fiery, indomitable, determined will finally burns out. Even if his Goddess may have forsaken him knowingly or unknowingly, even if his people have rejected him to the point he isn't even human anymore, even though they reviled him, even if that rejection should by all intents and purposes chained his spirit to the land or ground the jewel of his unbreakable soul into dust, he still loves them, still adores them, still wants to protect them.
No matter how long he must keep going for it. He wishes to see those he holds dear happy, though they cursed and imprisoned him once.
The Chain getting dropped into a completely empty, desolated and undeniably dead version of Sky's Hyrule, only to find the only living thing besides monster is a single man, with rusted gold armor and an old sword, a faded tunic of green with a long, crimson scarf like a bloody banner. With hair and eyes like theirs, undeniably a Link. But so very frigid, so very silent they almost didn't notice him, that they can't help but wonder just how many years he has spent there, eroding away, ruined but still kind, kind, so very gentle. A shadow of his former self, yes, but still himself, still so so so good, doing all he can until Sky's Era comes and maybe, just maybe, he can finally rest.
Or maybe not, after all, someone has to keep the land safe until the Hero after Sky comes around, no?
Just Revenant First in general.
Or maybe we give him the House in Fata Morgana treatment, the House in Fata Hylia Au if you will- *collapses from sleep deprivation*
