(most of which have some sort of relevance to the roleplay blog I run for him and zero evidence in canon,,, okay? okay)
Character Info Headcanons
- Senior, completing his final year of highschool, seventeen at the youngest.
- Prior to being a prefect, he was one of the Preps (I also headcanon that Edward was as well) and resided in Harrington House along with the others. Whilst he doesn't exactly have a choice when it comes to being friendly with them (as he and all the other Preps are encouraged to befriend each other for business/social reasons), he and the likes of Bif, Bryce and Parker (along with the other Preps to a lesser degree) are actually quite good friends.
- Youngest of three sons. Has always been well aware from a young age that he has zero chance of being his fathers heir. His brothers also attended Bullworth academy, and similarly were both chosen to be prefects. The difference between him and his brothers is that they where head prefects, which in his eyes decreases the potential/usage his father has for him even further.
-- Adores fashion and Aquaberry like the rest of the preps do, and is probably considered to be quite stylish. Actually argued over the fact he was expected to wear tan slacks and simply refused, wearing Aquaberry's navy pair (which are no longer available, limited edition, and presumably ridiculously expensive). Similarly he's probably the one who irons all of the prefects uniforms, because he believes standing beside wrinkled uniforms makes him look worse and that just can't be allowed.
-- Openly gay. Like literally zero denial or attempts to hide it on his end, nor is he burdened by internalised homophobia or shame. Has never really explicitly came out but after hearing him drop a "well, he certainly is nowhere near as charming as his appearance" comment a dozen times, most got the idea. His family is aware to an extent, and this is probably the one reason he's grateful to be the third son. Definitely tenses up when arranged/political marriages are brought up, immediately shutting the topic down with a "I have until college to worry about that".
Funner/Sillier/Ship Headcanons
- Has 100% been scolded for not paying attention to his position because he was too busy gossiping with the likes of Christy. WLW & MLM solidarity right there. Those two definitely have lunch together at least once a week.
- HIGHHH matinence. Similar to Pinky in the sense that you better not be late to a date with him, because this man will put you to work for his forgiveness. Probably had a streak of shitty boyfriends that had all his friends with their heads in their hands.
- (Karl x Non Prefects Headcanon) Probably complains about all his boyfriends/dates to the other prefects, who all nod along with zero enthusiasm the same way they do with all his gossipy nonsense. Although I think it'd be sweet if they instantly offer to accompany him to break up with whatever shitty guy that needs dumped.
- (Karl x Edward Headcanon) Karl had his first kiss with Edward, despite their complicated friendship. He had a date with a boy he really liked and didn't want to seem inexperienced or dorky, and Edward being Edward offered to "share his expertise". They don't talk about it. Or at least, Karl doesn't let Edward tell anyone about it. But it's certainly in the back of both of their minds. Sort of frienemies to lovers dynamic.
- (Karl x Max Headcanon) Karl probably had the dorkiest sort of hallway crush on Max before the pair ever became prefects, probably forced a couple of the other preps to attend each and every single one of his games. It didn't really go anywhere considering they had no reason to ever interact except from a few classes here and their together, and Karl was absolutely scunderred when he found out he'd be dorming with the guy. Max taking on the responsibility of a prefect whilst also staying in physical shape (and acting as a stand in coach occasionally) probably made him all the more attractive in Karl's eyes.
- (Karl x Seth Headcanon) Classic "head of clique x second in command" ship we see in every other clique. I like to imagine Karl was probably really irritated at first that Seth recieved the title of head, considering his families track record, and he wasn't exactly performing to his roles standards in protest of this decision in the first few months. Very awesome enemies to lovers potential if you squint guys!
