THE RANDOM FACTS MEME
1! Post with your character(s) and share some random facts about them. Headcanon, canon, whatever.
2! Respond to other people's characters responding to said random facts or asking them questions about things you want to know about them! Ask about their childhood, their favorite book, preferred brand of underwear...
3! Answer the questions people ask! You could just answer it normally, or you could also go into ridiculous detail, or write a drabble or something! You could illustrate how they got that scar in MS Paint! Just answer the questions okay.
4! ????
5! Profit!
Shirou Fujimoto | Ao no Exorcist
1) When Shirou was younger, he was pretty much a loner. Not many social skills, didn't get along with his peers. None of his professors really had much hope for him, and Shirou was your average directionless, dispassionate youth. At least, that's my headcanon for why Shirou's so downright unsociable and rude in the Kyoto flashbacks. That sort of feeling persisted with him until he found himself landed with the twins, and everything he becomes is largely due to love for them.
2) In that vein, I don't feel like Shirou was ever someone to meant to become Paladin, more that the rank is something that just happened to him and he went with it. I like to say that a lot of Shirou's younger years was ruled by inaction, simply because doing nothing was easier than having to decide. As a result, very much of Shirou's younger years happened to him, rather than was a product of decisions he made. He just managed to make himself the most qualified somewhere along the way, and when the job was offered to him, he took it.
3) Shirou's not a very good cook. He's not bad either, but if the twins ever get homesick for slightly burned toast and one out of every four of their fried eggs being DOA, that'd be Shirou's fault. Rin saved all of their palates by learning how to cook.
4a) Due to the nature of his work, Shirou is extremely laid back about religion. He's a Catholic priest, but he's also studied Buddhism rather extensively, knows as much Shintoism as any good Japanese old person, and has been meaning to read up on more world religions. The important thing to him is the faith in of itself, not the road you take to get there.
4b) I see Shirou as deeply spiritual, although not a stickler for the details. His love for all of creation is depthless, and by that token his faith in it runs just as deep.
5) One day Shirou will be a dirty old men. Right now has him leering inappropriately at young girls. At the heart of it, though, I don't feel like he's actually a dirty old man so much as he likes to have himself billed as one. It's a good way to diffuse tension in any situation. I mean, how upset can you really be that you accidentally cracked your old man's ribs when he's daydreaming about looking up his hot nurse's skirt? ...and, okay, girls also aren't exactly hard to look at so it's a win and it's a win.
6) Shirou wanted to play ranged classes in MMOs, god dammit, but Mephisto kept getting both their asses killed and someone had to tank so here we are. B(
7) He got himself ordained as a priest mostly so that he could at least give the people who died out on the field last rites, and from there he somehow found himself developing the social skills to actually help people in life too. It's been a long and slow road for him to become the charismatic badass he is by the time he's 51, but hey. He got there.
...okay yeah that's enough bleeding for now. :|a Feel free to ask things. SOB HEADCANON MAKES ME SO NERVOUS. /)_(\

Also, when do you think he got started on the whole distilling his own booze thing?

The rest is history.
And of course Mephisto dragged him into it. B( What does Shirou look like to you, a geek?

Two weeks later Mephisto drops in again and the house is in order again, every surface has been wiped down and disinfected, Shirou has the kids on a feeding schedule so that he's nursing Yukio sitting in a chair while Rin's conked out in a crib that Shirou's rocking with his foot. LIKE A BOSS.
I think Shirou's favorite color is blue. Just to be contrary, and because there's so much negative stigma attached to that color that people forget all the good things blue can bring. He likens it to how a tsunami can bring so much death and destruction, but that's the same sea you fish from, the same sea you swim in and can look so beautiful under a clear blue sky. It's a sort of learned optimism he had to find in himself after taking in the boys.
Old man Shirou wears briefs because they make him feel like everything is in order. Young man Shirou wears absolutely nothing, because you never know when you might need to seduce someone by slowly slipping down your pants okay.

I feel like he was a fairly isolated kid. Nothing too serious, mostly neglect. I imagine his parents dying on him fairly young, maybe a plot convenient car accident or his single mom ran out on him or passed away in childbirth. Whatever the case, they weren't around and no one talked much of them. He got shunted around from distant relative to distant relative, and Japan has such a negative stigma against adopting kids that he probably never had anywhere to properly call home.
Add a spirit wound to that and you get a really creepy kid talking about invisible things no one wants in their house. Like maybe hobgoblins or other small-time demons would come around and knock things over on him or hurt his cousins, and he'd take all the blame. Somewhere along the line, he made friends with Mephisto or the Academy found him some other way, and he was finally able to have some direction in his life.
...that sort of thing. >_>; idek where I get this stuff. Ignore me man.
