GUZMA HEADCANON MASTERLIST

I have an unhealthy attachment to this guy

As such, I have had way too many thoughts about him and how he exists in my headcanons.

This is going to be your problem now.

Ahem.

BASICS

His full name is Guzmania Kala'i Sasaki. His mom picked out his name, and his first name came from the fact that when they first got their house, his parents' first housewarming gift was a guzmania bromeliad. Guzma thinks this is stupid and refuses to go by his full name.

His mom is Alolan. His dad is Kanjohni. His grandma on his dad's side is from Johto, and his grandpa was from Kanto.

Mom's name is Crysantha, dad's name is Nasu.

Only child. He quickly became way too much for his parents to handle.

His grandma is a former Kimono Girl, Miki (the one who gets harrassed on stage by a Rocket grunt in HG/SS), and her Flareon's name is Ichigo.

Was part of a mischief trio with Kukui and Molayne back when he was a kid.

POKÉMON TEAM

Six-teamer, and proud of it. Dustpan the Golisopod, Hazard the Ariados, Syrup the Masquerain, X the Vikavolt, Launchpad the Pinsir, and Tachi the Scizor. He only trains male Pokémon because he doesn't want to deal with eggs.

Dustpan: Caught as a Wimpod before he was licensed. 8-year-old Guzma went to the Akala beach with his parents, then lured a Wimpod into his backpack with cucumber sandwiches. Spent the whole ferry ride home trying to hide his squirming backpack. Dustpan lived under his bed for awhile, eating scraps of whatever Guzma tossed down there, and it took him AWHILE to trust the kid.

Hazard: Short for "Tripping Hazard," Guzma was supposed to do a report on local Pokémon for school and went hunting, then tripped over the Spinarak's web and lost him his prey. Hazard then proceeded to give him the biggest, saddest wet puppy eyes about it, so Guzma felt bad and caught him a Cutiefly. Hazard never stopped following him around after that.

Syrup: Caught at Brooklet Hill with a net, then when Guzma went to take him out of the net, covered his hand in sweet syrup (according to the Pokédex, they do that when scared to repel flying types). Guzma, gremlin he is, licked his hand, then decided to keep the Surskit.

X: Kukui, Molayne, and Guzma all went off trying to follow a poorly-drawn treasure map that had been tucked into a book in the school library. When they got to the "X" on the map, they dug it up, and found a Grubbin instead of treasure. The other two were disappointed, but Guzma got spiteful about it and loudly declared that obviously, the Grubbin was the treasure they were supposed to find, and caught it.

Launchpad: Caught in Johto during a bug catching contest while on vacation, can and will yeet anything on sight. Including Guzma and his friends. STILL can, even when they're all grown men. He's not the brightest, but he'll do anything Guzma asks enthusiastically.

Tachi: The only one Guzma didn't catch himself, the Kahuna of Ula'Ula had Guzma doing odd job requests when he lived in Tapu Village to help him get on his feet, and one of those requests was an old man from Malie asking for a Heracross. Guzma caught him the Heracross, and in exchange, got Tachi the Scyther, who had "a lot of fighting spirit, deserving of an expert battler."

BATTLING

Guzma trains his 'Mons with a clicker, or clicks his tongue when the clicker isn't available, and only shouts his moves when he's either dealing a final blow, cut off from quieter noises, or panicking. He also gives them hand signals. Whenever he starts off a fight, they'll look at him to see how they should be doing it: Hand held low for "cool it, not a serious fight," high for "stakes are high, fight with whatever you've got," and a finger across his neck for "don't hold back, destroy them."

Side note, Tachi had to be retrained on this system. His former trainer used a sports whistle.

For the most part, Guzma's team is well-enough trained to take on most fights without play-by-play direction. They just need a general nudge or signal: "stall for me," "play evasive," "tank the hit," and they'll figure the rest out. When they're unsure or he clicks for them to look, they'll glance his way for new direction.

Guzma is THE strongest trainer in Alola, barring the Champion, and a lot of that is because of his strategy. Type disadvantage and Pokémon effectiveness is only HALF the game; the other is figuring out what your opponent is trying to do, and throwing them off so they doubt their own strategy. He absolutely excels at the latter.

He crouches down when he battles so he can see things from a lower perspective, mostly to watch smaller Pokémon or to monitor larger ones' footwork. That it makes him look casually badass is a bonus point in his book.

FAMILY

Nasu Sasaki: Something of a brick wall of a man, he and Guzma share the same anger issues, but he's colder about it. Very reserved, very acutely aware of how he's perceived, and irritated that Guzma isn't. Plays golf to work out stress, because it's nice to hit something and watch it sail away. Holds himself to a high standard of perfection.

Crysantha Sasaki: The complete opposite, sweet and loving to the point of saccharine. Refuses to believe her family can do any wrong, will brush aside any wrongdoing with a smile. Scolds Guzma like a puppy when she's disappointed in him—picture the "Guzma, what's wrong with you?" line being said in a high-pitched, patronizing voice with hands on hips.

Miki Sasaki: Kimono Girl Miki. The only family Guzma's actually regularly in touch with of his own liking. Very traditionally Johtonian, loves Guzma and was proud of him as a kid, doesn't exactly approve of his gang activity, but lets him stay at her place and have tea whenever he likes. Has been BARELY on speaking terms with her son since the Golf Club Incident. Probably the reason Guzma hasn't dropped the "Sasaki" name, tbh.

Hideomi Sasaki: In HG/SS, he's the older guy with the Psyduck in the crowd when Miki's getting harrassed by the Rocket Grunt. From Kanto. He died of old age when Guzma was small, but Guzma has fond memories of building Palossand castles and finding shells with him.

HISTORY

Oh boy.

Always was a loud, brash kid. Very much a "fight" over "flight" when scared, and, much as he would refuse to admit it, he got scared a LOT.

Fueled by three things: fear, approval, and spite. Spite is what led to him becoming a Bug specialist; he had a Wimpod that he tried to send into battle, and when that didn't work out, he got mocked; bug-catchers aren't exactly respected, and he got teased relentlessly for it, people asking if he was going to send out a Metapod next and Harden it to death. So he leaned fully into the Bug-typing with the intent to destroy everyone in school with his team. He still never picked up a Caterpie, though.

Used to sneak out a lot. He had a rule to be home by curfew, but he broke it often, so his dad had his Houndoom watch after him from afar and drag him home if he ever got into trouble. That's all well and good, until one day when he was 7. He'd read in second-grade geology that peridots came from volcanic activity, got starry-eyed, and wanted to go to Ten Carat Hill to find treasure. Ten Carat Hill, however, is strictly off-limits, so his parents said no. Naturally, he snuck out after dark to go there anyways. The peak of Ten Carat is Rockruff territory. Guzma got cornered by a Midnight Lycanroc that was ready to gut him, but his dad's Houndoom fought it off...and lost. He ran home in tears to get help, but by the time they got back, she was done for. That Houndoom had been his dad's partner Pokémon back in Johto, since she was a little Houndour. Nasu never really forgave Guzma for killing his best friend, and Guzma grew up feeling like his dad would have picked the Houndoom over him any day.

Has had celebrity crushes on Cynthia, Diantha, and Steven Stone. He has a thing for people who look fancy.

Had a highschool relationship with Kahili, who he knew from following his dad to Akala to play golf. Mostly dated her because she could squarely own his old man in the field, and that was a fun feeling. Also why they broke up; she decided she didn't want to be his victory lap. Understandable breakup.

The golf club thing: A very, very, VERY bad day when Guzma was a teenager and he and his dad were in a yelling match, Nasu hit him in the back with one of the clubs once to teach him a lesson. It TERRIFIED Guzma. Less so about the damage itself, more that Nanu had crossed a line he couldn't take back, and what's to stop him from doing it again? So he took his dad's prized golf clubs up to Route 3, and spent the whole night smashing them against boulders and denting them beyond repair. Can't wield what's broken. Sort-of backfired, because his dad insisted that the golf clubs were kept on display after, that way whenever they had guests over, Guzma would be reminded that his "actions had consequences on people's opinions of him." Guzma HATES those clubs and the shame now associated with them and wants to throw them in the ocean.

Guzma DID finish his Island Challenge, unlike most of Skull. What he DIDN'T do was make it to Trial Captain, like he wanted. The cutoff for Captain, as in, when you're too old to even remain a Captain, is 20. It took until Guzma was 18-going-on-19 for the singular Melemele spot to open up, and then when it did, he got passed up...in favor of an 11-year-old Ilima and his partner Eevee. That night, he went home late after punching trees and breaking glass to try to burn off his anger, got scolded by his parents, and decided "fuck both of you, I'm leaving," and ran away.

His dad chased after him, they had a Pokémon battle in the middle of the nighttime woods, his team of bugs vs his dad's (young) Houndour. Guzma won, but Nasu wasn't having it, so he tried to drag him back home, and Guzma punched him in the face. It wasn't on purpose. He honestly didn't mean it, he let his anger get the better of him, but he broke his dad's nose. And, when Nasu looked at him, stunned, blood dripping down his face, he panicked and bolted.

Guzma went to Ula'Ula. First to his grandmother, who lives in Malie, then when his mother came asking for him, off to the Kahuna's place in Tapu Village.

Kukui came along to check on him, which turned into a yelling match that destroyed their friendship. It started with asking Guzma what was wrong, then when finding out about the Captain thing, told him not to worry about it, it's not a big deal, HE'D given up on that dream ages ago. Which, to Guzma, was a HUGE betrayal; it was a pact they'd made when they were 12! They were going to be Captains together! And now Kukui's going to kick him while he's down about it?!

Poor Molayne quietly fell to the wayside. He didn't want to take sides, and clearly Guzma wasn't in the mood to hear advice from a friend—doubly so, he reasoned, from one that HAD made the Captain spot. So the whole trio fell apart.

Now Kahuna Kalei...man, he almost deserves his own post. Bulu's Kahuna before Nanu. Psychic specialist. Wanted to be a therapist before he got assigned his role. Spent most of his time helping Alola's troubled youth. He was a really stand-up guy, giving them housing when they needed it, finding them jobs, helping them adjust to things, etc. Guzma went to him, and got a place as roommate to Plumeria, and that's how they met.

Kalei, however, wasn't a great Kahuna. Don't get me wrong, he was a fantastic guy...to humans. Too much so. He wanted Ula'Ula to have more tourist revenue, so he started the Recycling Plant, helped polish up Malie Garden, had the bus routes built...had Po Town built, without the Tapu's approval...had the Thrifty Megamart built, without the Tapu's approval... It was all well-intentioned, sure. The kids he was in charge of would have jobs, Ula'Ula would thrive economically, etc. But you don't DO things without Tapu approval, ESPECIALLY not when you're supposed to be the Tapu's mouthpiece. So Bulu removed his lifetime position. Forcefully.

Guzma didn't SEE Kalei die, but he was in Tapu Village when Bulu started rampaging. It felt like an earthquake, at first, then plants started growing through the ground. All the kids got evacuated to the PMC, which was, miraculously, left alone. He was 22 at this point.

Side note, right after, Po Town got cursed with rain as a gentle sign of Bulu's displeasure with the people living there without his say-so. "Leave, I don't want you here."

Everyone was scared, naturally. Guzma too. The issue is that when Guzma's scared, he hits back. So he eventually got fed up with everyone cowering and grieving and decided he was going to make his OWN place. So he stormed off to Po Town, Plumeria following to make sure he didn't go fully self-destructive, and took over the manor at the far end of town, then told any neighbors and cops that had a problem with it that they could try battling him to force him out. Nobody local was strong enough, and the cops honestly had more important things to do in the wake of Bulu's wrath than deal with some upstart kid in a house nobody technically owned.

Was the manor occupied? ...Technically. The previous owners were hastily moving out, spooked by the Kahuna's death and the Tapu's wrath. Guzma bullied them into cutting their losses and leaving most of their furniture and finery behind, and the rich vacation getaway people decided it was NOT worth sticking around for.

Guzma and Plumeria made the place their own. They graffitti'd whatever and wherever they wanted, they had wine, they partied. They called themselves Skullbusters and Guzma DELIGHTED in making the neighbors flinch. Then slowly, the neighbors started leaving, and slowly, the other kids Kalei looked after started filtering in, wanting a place with Guzma (and nudged that way by invitation from Plumeria).

There's a trial to get in. You have to battle Guzma. And then when you lose, which you inevitably will, when he asks if you think you deserve in, you yell "no!" with all your chest (the first few times, he had to tell them "I can't hear you!"). And THEN he'll let you in.

It started off with everyone getting their own room, then sharing, then cuddle piles, then taking over the houses as the rich neighbors fled the worsening conditions and rowdy new kids next door. Soon enough, Po Town was theirs. "Skullbusters" wound up being too much of a mouthful in the long run, so it got shortened to "Skull."

Plumeria became the face of Skull, and Guzma, the looming threat behind it. Plumeria LOVED those kids, both the originals around her age that were in Tapu Village, and the people who joined in after. So if you mess with them, you get her as a warning. And Tapus help you if she thinks you haven't learned your lesson, because she'll get the big guns.

This led to Guzma throwing his weight around Ula'Ula. Who was going to stop him? The Kahuna? Fully embraced the chaos, loved being feared for once instead of stepped on, he embraced his dramatic, theater-kid side and made a heel out of himself. "Greetings, cowering public!" is just the latest of his attention-grabbing mottos; he'd regularly remind Ula'Ula of his strength by putting up a show in Malie Garden and letting any tourist or local that felt brave enough try to challenge him, only for him to crush them.

It was good for funds. For food, for awhile, they had berries in pots (since those things grow like weeds and never go out of season in Alola); that's not nutritionally sound, though, so Skull started stealing. And when that landed them in too-hot water for doing it too often, eventually, some of them (Guzma included) bit the bullet and started raiding the old Megamart. After the first few times where none of them died, it became their more stable source of meals.

Clothes are all Spinarak and Ariados silk. Guzma kicked it off, and it's worked just fine for all of them since. Hair colors and contacts are both for anonymity and expression (and they're not all pink and blue; there's variation).

Anyways.

Nanu came along at some point, realized what was up, and decided not to do anything about it; he knows Guzma and Plumeria are actually taking care of these misfits and delinquents, so he doesn't see a reason to step in, and Guzma thinks he's lazy for it, but he doesn't care.

Guzma. 25, king of his roost. Gets contacted one day by Aether President Lusamine. She's seen his shows, she watched him fight in Malie, and she thinks he's exactly what she's looking for. She needs some...distractions, and he's got the manpower, the muscle, and the lack of a spotless reputation. He just needs to cause some trouble so Aether can do their thing without the professors getting in the way. Guzma sees that as two birds with one stone: Spite Kukui (and his wife, but Guzma doesn't really care about Burnet), AND make more of a name for the kids that follow him. He might be scary, but his grunts definitely aren't, so this is a win-win.

And things develop. Lusamine starts showering him with praise. He gets hooked on it. Falls into a relationship with this Ninetales. Tells her everything, to get validation that he was right in the decisions he's been insecure about. And he fights Plumeria on it whenever she sees the red flags.

And OH the red flags. Lusamine is a master manipulator, and Guzma is one of the most gullible guys in Alola. She'd tell him everything he wanted to hear, get him to do what she wanted, praised him perfectly...and then do the complete opposite whenever he was inadequate. She knew how to make insults HURT. She knew exactly what combination of things would have him angry, destroy his self confidence, shove him into a depressive slump, then come crawling back to her with mumbled apologies in the hopes that she'd take him back. She took full advantage of the fact that he'd always been a screw-up, to everyone, even his parents, and that he would always view her allowing him back into her good graces as a favor he didn't deserve.

It didn't take long to get him to the point that he would do anything for her. He ignored her "private collection," excusing it as a messed up way she was dealing with being a widow. He kidnapped Lillie for her, reasoning that it wasn't REALLY kidnapping, she was just a runaway 11-year-old who didn't know how good she had it (with a mom that adored her and doted on her) and who couldn't battle in the wild, so he was really doing something right by her.

Side note, Gladion's a different story. He tried to join Skull the way all the grunts had, but then got arrogant when faced with the question of "do you think you deserve to be here," which is why the grunts don't like him very much.

Back to present day. The fight against the will-be-Champion happens. And he gets beat. Publicly. Every. Single. Time. It makes him FURIOUS. The first time, it was just Dustpan and Hazard, so fine, he got cocky. But after that? Beating him in front of his own grunts? In front of Aether? He LOATHES that kid.

Then the thing with Ultra Space happens.

Guzma, stranded in an alien world because Madame Prez asked him to, tries to catch her a Nihilego. Gets parasitized by it. Freaks out—Nihilego amplify the emotion most core to your being, and while that's obsessive euphoria in Lusamine, it's sheer terror in Guzma. Every big decision he's ever made has been fueled by fear—either to get control of his life, or to avoid shame, or both.

So he tries to stop Lusamine, thinking it'll do the same to her, and she turns on him. And completely lays into him. Fueled by her goal being so close and his usefulness having evaporated now that she's finally here, and seeing him as the one obstacle to her sweet Nihilego, she tears him apart. Calls him useless. A failure. No wonder Alola hates him. No wonder his parents never seemed to be happy with him. She certainly never loved him, and he was an idiot for thinking so.

And then she left him. Crushed. In the nightmare dimension. To chase after her poisonous nightmare herself. And he...let her.

Another side note: He had a suit properly tailored in case she ever asked him to a dance at her fancy manor. You know, for business reasons, or...something. He held onto it for months hoping she would ask him. And then this.

So Sun/Moon's conclusion happens. He's rescued. He tries to go home to Po Town, full of very, VERY fresh wounds and completely destroyed. Plumeria tries to hug him from behind, he reacts on instinct, whips around- And punches her in the face. She drops. It was an accident. He didn't realize. Nihilego's still fresh in his mind, getting grabbed from behind and parasitized is still a very, VERY new fear, so he reacted on instinct. And now his best friend is on the floor, spitting up blood, and—is that a tooth?

So he runs away. Just like he did when he popped a right hook on his dad. He can't stand not being in control, it terrifies him, and he runs.

So where to go to now? Not Po Town, he just HIT his now-ex best friend. Not to his grandmother's, he's still cut open from everything Lusamine said and he can't handle the uncertainty of sweet words, plus the lingering fear that he'll somehow hurt Miki, too. Everyone hates him, and he doesn't even have a leg to stand on after being publicly humiliated by that Champion kid. He goes home. Says he was wrong like Lusamine trained him to do and begs his parents for forgiveness. Because at least he knows where he stands with them.

Skull comes around knocking, because of course they do. He's their boss! Who jumped into a terror dimension, came home, and had a breakdown! Is he okay? Does he need them? Nope. Skull's done, everyone get lost. He can't do this anymore.

Enter Guzma's depression arc.

That's usually all the backstory I give him when I'm about to play him in a text rp or write fanfic about him. Everything leads up to the depression arc.

Ahem.

APPEARANCE

6'6.25" (198.75 cm) when standing at full height. Otherwise, 6'2" when slouching. If he's asked, he ALWAYS includes the quarter inch. "Makes it more believable that way."

Scars: Nihilego tentacle scars on his shoulders, upper arms, around his waist, and curled around his ankle. Carvanha bite on his calf. A handful of cuts on his hands from punching glass. Strike marks from the Golf Club Incident.

He's got piebaldism and he HATES it. It's just one lock on his forehead, slightly skewed to the left, with a tiny patch of paler skin at the hairline. When he was growing up, he dyed it black, then when he moved out, he decided to be contrary and bleached it all white, minus his undercut.

Made all his Skull clothes with Hazard's silk. It's not the greatest job, the stitches are all uneven, but it works for him.

Got the tattoos on his arms after deciding on Skull's name, then, after Sun/Moon, covered them up with concealer.

LOVES his jacket. Will not toss it whatsoever. The inner lining is full of badly-patched holes. The X made of tape on the back, covering up the custom Skull embroidery, was ironed on to make it melt in.

The Pokétch on his wrist is a fancy one left behind in the manor. He also loves that and will not get rid of it. He likes gold.

Ears are pierced, though he hasn't worn them in awhile. Used to have amethyst-and-gold studs in them.

Caught all his 'Mons in Net and Nest Balls, then transferred them to Ultra Balls to look scarier for his Malie Garden shows.

His Team Skull glasses were originally eclipse glasses, hence the sun and moon shapes. He got those back with Kalei, and back when they functioned as eclipse glasses, he used to show off to the other teens that he could walk around flawlessly with them on. He eventually popped the black film and replaced it with actual shade lenses, then got a real pair of shades when he disbanded Skull.

Silver eyes. Got them from his dad, who got them from Miki.

His curls are from his mom, though.

PERSONALITY, MENTALITY, AND MANNERISMS

Rubs his neck when shy or sheepish

Fingers in his hair when he feels as if he's done something wrong (easy way to tell if embarrassment is getting to be too much for him)

Berates himself mostly because if nobody else does, he'll feel even worse.

Flips up his hood when he wants to avoid being looked at

If he's angry and you don't challenge him on it, eventually he deflates and falls into "whatever" mode.

High highs and low lows. ECSTATIC when something makes him happy, quick to get swept up in the moment. People are cheering for him, he'll ham it up. He's pleasantly surprised, he's picking up the nearest person and spinning them around.

Incredibly easy to woo. If asked, he'll tell you his types are "1, into me, 2, breathing." That's not entirely true, his type is "pretties up nicely and carries confidence," but when he falls, he falls hard. Does not make the first move for self-esteem reasons.

Likes to tease in conversation, definitely cannot take it like he dishes it. Very easily flustered and blushy. Also fistpumps to himself when he's done something right, romance or otherwise.

A showoff. Give him ANY reason to peacock, and you'll have trouble getting him to cool it. Including dumb things (like walking around with eclipse glasses).

Talks with a drawl and in street dialect. He's always had something of a lazy voice when he enunciates, but he picked up the dramatic "bad guy" talk when he was a kid to look tough, from TV. His mom was NOT pleased about it and has yet to break him out of the habit.

MISC

Massive sweet tooth. Loves Tapu Cocoa, of course, but just generally a sugar bug. Likes Litchi and Pecha soda, and when he's in a drinking mood, either champagne or shochu highball.

Obv, depressed as all hell. But he's been swinging in and out of that for longer than he realizes; he's a very crash-and-burn kind of guy. Kick him at the wrong moment, and he sinks into self loathing and apathy, but give him something to get pumped about, and he's right there at the front with the megaphone. In school, this was apathy towards grades, tempered with enthusiasm after winning a battle, tempered back to sadness with disappointment on not getting first in a competition, and so on. In Skull, it was a week or so of sulking on the couch, drinking too much cocoa, before finding a reason to crush someone and party it up with the grunts again with a victory lap. He'd recognize his current state, being apathetic and tired at home with no upswing, as being depression, but before that? What are you talking about, he just had off-weeks.

Cutiefly are attracted to people with auras like flowers, according to their 'Dex entry. Guzma happens to be one of those people. He hates it, because they nest in his hair and look adorable, and HE is DESTRUCTION IN HUMAN FORM, thank YOU.

Has a taste for luxury. Knows what wine pairs with what, likes owning finery and sleeping in high-thread-count Swablu-down beds, knows how to dance just about any dance you can name.

Speaking of dancing, if you ask him, he'll say he's good at exactly three things: fighting, dancing, and surfing. Fighting encompasses both fistfights and battles, he KILLS it on the dance floor, and he's a showoff with tricks when he surfs.

Also speaking of dancing, owns the entire leaderboard of dance arcade games. Not just the high score, has gotten the high score on the hardest songs enough times that he's the ONLY score.

Knows basically anything about any Bug-type on Alola you can name, from prey to predators to ecological niche, and so on. Of course, HIS bugs are his specialty, but he made a point of being the expert.

Bisexual. Did not know bisexual was a thing for the majority of his life, thought people consciously picked one they liked more and (at first) found it annoying that people would lament not liking the other gender and get cliquey about it. Plumeria looked at him like he'd grown a second head when he first told her that (it was during their roommate phase under Kalei; she's a lesbian).

An ace at Voltorb Flip. Not an infallible ace, but enough that he more or less has to be dragged out when he's on a winning streak.

Used to pick up bottles from the Route 2 PMC's cafe and take them to Route 3 to smash them and burn off steam, then bring back the glass for recycling.

His usual order at that PMC was Tapu Cocoa with a dash of almond extract and a pinch of cinnamon, along with a square of butter mochi.

Won 2nd place in the Johto Bug Catching Contest, earning a silver bug net and taking home Launchpad the Pinsir.

Speaks Common (which is NOT English; my version of Pokémon world has a lingua franca everyone speaks that uses that weird alphabet nobody can translate), Johtonian, and Alolan. His Johtonian is better than his Alolan.

Went to Lake of the Sunne/Moone to relax whenever he needed alone time away from Team Skull.

Likes the rain, and since Skull, has trouble sleeping without it.

Decent singing voice. Not great, but good enough for karaoke.

Does NOT want kids, despite his experience with Skull's new recruits. Would not trust himself to be a dad.

Loves Kaiju movies, like Tyrannizilla vs Mothrim. Thinks Dynamax battles are peak entertainment.

Has a thing for normally-put-together people with messy hair and messed-up makeup. Especially if he's the reason for it.

Would be killer at drums if he took them up. Sometimes when I have him breaking out of his depression arc, I give him drums to hit instead of needing to smash glass.

Needs to take better care of his hair. I mean, he washes and combs it, sure, but he also bleaches it, and thinks "bodywash" and "shampoo" are interchangeable things.

The Tapus let him live after the whole "unleashing horrors on the island" thing because Bulu actually doesn't hate Guzma. He sees Guzma as filling the niche in Alola's ecosystem Kalei left behind, and being better at it.

Has a silver Lugia feather from his grandmother, as a graduation gift for when he finished school. It's strung on a cord necklace with glass and silver beads. He left it at his parents' house when he ran away from home way back when.

Anyone else grabbing his hair is an instant freeze from him. Not a pleasant one. It's so ingrained with his self-loathing tendencies that it starts to trigger a panic response.

And THAT is all the stuff that is currently coming to mind. I'm sure I have a lot more but I've been at this for over three hours and that's honestly too much already.
