Skate Phighting Headcanons

Skateboard needs to be moving almost 24/7 because he’s high energy and dislikes sitting around for too long. He’d rather spend his day filling his schedule and helping out as many people as he can than fidgeting around thinking about what to do next. That’s why he’s quick to jump into action and fails to think things through entirely before committing to something.

Skateboard pushes himself to be the best he can be to prove to himself/Windforce that he isn’t a “lost cause.” That he can achieve something and have an impact somewhere in the world and in someone’s life. I’d say his selfless nature stems from this want to see himself as worthwhile and also because he’s a genuinely kindhearted inphernal. He knows what it’s like to be tossed aside and looked down upon and can empathize with the inphernals he offers a hand to.

After the events of Splintered Skies, neither Boombox nor Skateboard discussed it. Skate never brought it up, and Boombox didn’t want to bring up bad memories. They still talk about their time on the island/their childhood memories together, but the two never discuss Windforce or how being exiled affected them.

Whilst Skate was hiding Coil away, they probably played Uno, Monopoly, Game of Life, etc. to pass the time. Just random stuff you’d do with your bro, but this bro happens to be a wanted criminal-

Relying on people is necessary, but over reliance is where Skate draws the line. Although he doesn’t say it, “eye for an eye” is the type of mentality he uses with people he’s close to. Skate wants to be independent and able to provide for himself. A way to prove he’s capable of menial tasks without needing the help of others around him 24/7.

Skate is the type of person to spend the majority his “want” money in the first week of having it, then be broke until his next paycheck.

Skate helps out at Thieves’ Rest whenever Slingshot is low on manpower or needs a speedy delivery! I imagine the favor would later turn into a side job for Skate.

Whenever he can, Skateboard will always help Boombox if they need it due to being very close and partly because of his guilt over “taking away a good life” for Boombox.
