SET WHILST HEIDEGGER WAS IN HIS TWENTIES, HE’S A HIGH-RANKING MEMBER WITHIN HIS MILITARY UNIT AND THE GROUP OF THEM ARE CONSTANTLY SCOUTING THE WORLD FOR POTENTIAL SHINRA REACTOR SITES / GOODS. OR JUST GENERAL WARFARE.DURING THIS VERSE, HEIDEGGER IS SENT NORTH OF THE ICICLE INN WITH A SMALL SQUAD. THEY FALL ON HARD-TIMES WHEN THEY UNDERESTIMATE THE BRUTALITY OF THE SURROUNDING AREA. IN THIS VERSE, HEIDEGGER IS STEADFAST AND DETERMINED, SERIOUS AND VERY STRAIGHT-FACED.HE RARELY SHOUTS BUT IS VERY FIRM WITH HIS SQUAD; HE IS SLIGHTLY SOFTER IN THIS VERSE, NAMELY BECAUSE HE’S SO YOUNG. (AND HE DOESN’T HAVE HIS BEARD YET!)

THIS IS THE MAIN VERSE I’LL PLAY FOR HEIDEGGER, SET IN THE WORLD OF FINAL FANTASY VII ANYWHERE BETWEEN THE INITIAL FIRST REACTOR BOMBING TO BEFORE THE PROUD CLOD FIGHT. THIS IS MY STANDARD INTERACTION FOR ANY UNPLOTTED THREADS / ANY RANDOM REPLIES / ASKS & STARTERS.IN THIS VERSE, HEIDEGGER IS STUBBORN, AGGRESSIVE, OBNOXIOUS, POWERFUL AND RICH. HE COMMANDS AN ARMY AND HE HERO-WORSHIPS / FOLLOWS AROUND PRESIDENT SHINRA.

SET AFTER THE PROUD CLOD FIGHT IN AN ALTERNATIVE VERSE IN WHICH HEIDEGGER AND SCARLET SURVIVE, HEIDEGGER IS LEFT WITH HEAVY INJURIES AND A WEAKENED BODY FROM THE FIGHT. I HEADCANON THAT DURING THE END OF THE FIGHT, HE HAD A FULL-BLOWN HEART ATTACK WHICH RESULTED IN HIM NOT ONLY SUFFERING EXTERNAL INJURIES BUT ALSO INTERNAL INJURY. IN THIS VERSE, HE DECIDES TO DROP EVERYTHING - MOSTLY DUE TO THE SHINRA BEING PRACTICALLY GONE AND INSTEAD DECIDES TO MAKE UP LOST TIME TO HIS FAMILY. HOWEVER, THEY DON’T WANT TO KNOW HIM.IN THIS VERSE, HEIDEGGER IS COMPLETELY NURSING WOUNDED PRIDE AND A WOUNDED EGO.HE’S A LOT MORE THOUGHTFUL AND QUIET, HIS ANGER IS A LOT MORE SUBDUE BUT IT’S CERTAINLY STILL THERE.

HEIDEGGER HAS MADE HIS ENEMIES. HARDLY A STRANGER TO GIVING HIS OPINION ON THINGS, HE’S NOT EXACTLY THE SORT OF MAN WHO GETS ALONG WITH EVERYBODY. ONE OF THE PEOPLE HE’S PISSED OFF - A CERTAIN SCIENTIST (ALTHOUGH, THIS CAN CHANGE DEPENDENT ON VERSE).
EXPERIMENTED ON WITHOUT HIS KNOWLEDGE, HEIDEGGER IS GIVEN A ‘MYSTERY DRUG’ THAT ALTERS HIM IN THE STRANGEST WAY.WITH INCREASED SENSES, A THIRST FOR BLOOD (A REAL THIRST) AND CHANGES OCCURRING ON THE OUTSIDE AND INSIDE OF HIS BODY THAT ARE STARTING TO SCARE HIM - HEIDEGGER GRADUALLY BEGINS TO CHANGE.AT NIGHT AND IN THE FULL-MOON, HE BECOMES A WEREWOLF. COMPLETE AND UTTERLY OUT OF CONTROL OF HIMSELF AND ONLY AT THE MERCY OF HIS CANINE NEEDS.IN THIS VERSE, HEIDEGGER IS 1000X MORE STRESSED OUT THAN USUAL. HE’S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IN THE FULL-MOON, IS A COMPLETE WEREWOLF.

ㅤMEDIEVAL.ㅤ

HEIDEGGER ONCE WORKED IN THE SAFETY DIVISION OF THE UMBRELLA CORP.
A YOUNGER MAN (AROUND LATE 30S), HE WAS ONE OF THOSE NEAR THE TOP IN THE UBCS. UNCARING OF PEOPLE OR THE SPREAD OF VIRUS, HEIDEGGER ONLY CARED ABOUT GOING OUT AND FIGHTING ON THE FIELD. THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS VAGUE-VERSE IS THAT HE CAN BE PLACED IN MOST EARLY RE SITUATIONS.
RESIDENT EVIL | 00SSET FROM CODE VERONICA TO RE5 ETC, UMBRELLA ARE LONG DISBANDED AND HEIDEGGER NO LONGER WITH THE UBCS (BECAUSE THEY’VE OBVIOUSLY SPLIT); IN THIS TIMELINE, DURING CODE VERONICA - HEIDEGGER HAD LONG RETIRED FROM BEING A SOLDIER AND WAS INSTEAD OVERSEEING CERTAIN OPERATIONS AT ROCKFORT ISLAND. A FEW YEARS AFTER THIS, HE IS A MERCENARY IN THE SAME VEIN AS HUNK (THOUGH NOT AS BADASS). HEIDEGGER HOLDS NO LOYALTY AND FINDS HIMSELF FAIRLY LOST - THOUGH, DEPENDING ON WHICH SIDE HE DECIDES TO NESTLE UP TO, THEY WILL BE THE ONE HE IS ENTIRELY LOYAL TO.RESIDENT EVIL | 10/20S
SET FROM REVELATIONS / RE8 (EXCITE!), HEIDEGGER IS THE SAME SORT OF AGE AS HE IS FFVIIR NOW; A GRIZZLED ‘OLD MAN’. HE’S FOCUSED MORE ON HIS FAMILY THAN HE IS PICKING SIDES IN A WAR OF BIOTERRORISM. DESPITE THIS, HE REMAINS ON CALL FOR WHOEVER NEEDS THE ASSISTANCE OF A MAN HIS AGE. THINK BARRY BURTON BUT EVIL. EVIL BARRY BURTON, WOW.

IN THIS VERSE, GAIA IS A MEDIEVIL-ESQUE FANTASY WORLD. THINK FFIX, IF WE’RE GOING AROUND THE FF ROUTE.
THE KINGDOM OF MIDGAR IS RULED BY THE ROYAL FAMILY AKA THE SHINRA FAMILY. THE KING’S LOYAL KNIGHT AND HEAD OF HIS GUARD, HEIDEGGER IS A MAN ENTIRELY DEVOTED TO THE ROYALS. A FEARSOME COMMANDER OF WAR, THE BRUTE HAS SEEN MANY BATTLES IN HIS YEARS AS THE KING’S GUARD.BRUTAL AND UNFORGIVING IN NATURE, HEIDEGGER WILL FOLLOW ANY COMMAND HIS KING ISSUES HIM. AROUND THE TOWN AND SURROUNDING KINGDOMS, HE IS KNOWN AS COMMANDER HEIDEGGER OR (AS THE VILLAGERS CALL HIM) MAGNAR THE EXECUTIONER. HIS NICKNAME IS HARDLY SAID WITH GLEE FOR ANY AND ALL WHO BLASPHEME AGAINST THE KINGDOM MEET THE BLUNT (OR SHARP, IF HE’S MERCIFUL) SIDE OF HEIDEGGER’S GREATSWORD.IN THIS VERSE, HE RIDES A HULKING WHITE STALLION AND WEARS BLACK ARMOUR. HOWEVER, WHILST AROUND THE KINGDOM, HE WEARS RICH, GOLD ARMOUR. IN KEEPING WITH MY VIEW OF HEIDDEGGER, HIS WEAPON ON CHOICE IS A GREATSWORD.

HE FOLLOWED THE TEACHINGS OF THE ERDTREE AND THE GOLDEN ORDER BECAUSE THEY GAVE HIM SOMETHING TO HANKER EVERY BELIEF UPON. THINGS WOULD CHANGE WHEN THE SHATTERING OCCURRED AND THE WORLD FELL TO RUIN -HEIDEGGER WAS WEAK FROM ALL OF THE FIGHTING, COMMITTED TO HIS FAITH BUT WARY IN THE FACE OF HIS ENEMY. HE WAS READY TO FALL AND DIE, MAKING HIS WAY FROM THE BATTLE AT MT.GELMIR BACK TO LYNDELL IN THE HOPES OF REGATHERING.
UPON ENTERING THE CAPITAL, HE HEARD A WHISPER - AN ENTICING CALL THAT TOOK HIM FAR BENEATH THE CITY AND INTO THE UNDERGROUND.LOST FOR SO LONG, HE EVENTUALLY CAME ACROSS A BARREN ROOM (ONE AKIN TO A CHURCH) - HERE, THE WHISPERS GREW LOUDER AND BEYOND ITS WALLS SAT A CHASM.

IN THIS UNIVERSE - HEIDEGGER RESIDES IN SANBREQUE, TAKING HIS PLACE IN A SIMILAR ROLE TO THAT OF HIS PART IN FFVII. HE IS A MILITARY LEADER / STRATEGIST AND COMMANDS THE ARMIES OF THE HOLY EMPIRE. HIS COMMAND IS OF THOSE DIRECTLY BENEATH THE EMPEROR’S ARMY / RANKS. HE HAS NO INPUT WITH LORD DION’S DRAGOON KNIGHTS.AS WELL AS THIS, HEIDEGGER OVERSEES THOSE WITHIN THE IMPERIAL ARMY ( AND BY EXTENSION, THE BRANDED USED TO FIGHT WITHIN IT ). IN THIS UNIVERSE, AS HE IS IN FFVII, HE’S MASSIVELY PREJUDICE, CRUEL AND SADISTIC. HE IS ALSO A VETERAN OF WAR, HAS OLD WOUNDS ( ALL OF THEM SIMILAR TO HIS TIMELINE LISTED INJURIES ) & HAS MANY MEDALS / FEATS TO HIS NAME.DESPITE COMMANDING THE MILITARY, HEIDEGGER WORKS CLOSELY WITH THE EMPEROR - SYLVESTRE LESAGE - AND ACTUALLY HOLDS THE MAN IN THE SAME VAIN AS HE DOES SHINRA IN HIS STANDARD UNIVERSE. IN TRUTH, HEID IS BORDERLINE OBSESSED / IN LOVE WITH THE MAN ( A HEAVILY GUARDED SECRET HE’D NEVER ADMIT UNLESS SERIOUSLY PUSHED ). HE ALSO FAVOURS LADY ANABELLA AND FEELS SHE’S A SUITABLE CHOICE FOR HIS EMPEROR ( BIG YIKES MY GUY, THIS AINT IT ).

ㅤBIRTH.ㅤ heidegger's father was a man named magnar heidegger, a fierce soldier in ownership of his own travelling militia. these solders would fight on behalf of the highest payer, essentially being a mercenary force for cities and companies large enough to employ them. initially, they fought from junon but as the years went on, their alliances would change.magnar heidegger sr met a young wutai woman by the name of kassandra whilst on a mission in the region with his militia. taken by her looks, as well as her gentle-refrain, he enticed her to come back home with him to junon where the two later got married & gave birth to a son. magnar valerio heidegger.the year was 1949. the child was, at first, loved by the couple. however, as magnar sr's success grew and the pair became richer and richer, they became more interested in celebrity and power rather than their own child. the baby, as a result of this, grew into a rich - but largely unloving home.ㅤAGE SIX.ㅤ at the age of six, magnar's father would regularly fight for the shinra company - turning his standalone militia into one of the companies private security force (pcm). during this time, he stopped journeying and was instead at home a lot more alongside his wife and son. the man worked closely with the hire-ups of the shinra company as their security consultant. though he thrived in his work life, the man was a sour, bitter alcoholic at home who would mercilessly beat his wife and child for the slightest indiscretion.kassandra reacted with indifference to this violence, absorbing herself in prescription medication & high-end parties in order to numb herself. their son, magnar, was left to his own devices. only nannies caring for him ( and only nannies getting the brunt of the child's explosive outbursts ).
during magnar's childhood, the family would still visit wutai on occasion - an outing that the child never felt fondly of.despite his father's connections to shinra & junon. in the war between junon & shinra that would eventually come to be - heidegger's father would side with shinra. a decision that the son would never fully understand.ㅤAGE TEN.ㅤ his father decided to gift him a blade during one of these vacations ( a blade far too big for the child ) & one forged within the da-chao statue mountains. the blade, an odachi ( or, long katana ) was said to be infused with the power of the water god, leviathan. ( a lie, but one that the child would forever believe & later manifest himself through his own power ). it was at this age that heidegger began training with an age old samurai in the code of bushido - however, the child was deemed too unruly & awful to be trained properly.
despite his father's gift, at home - the parents began to notice their childs lashing out. the boy was awful, wrecking anything he could get his hands on, being regularly violent with the nannies as well as other children. the boy was ostracised at school and seen as a danger to those around him. in response ( and with this father's beatings only making the problem worse ) the parents decided to send a young magnar to a military boarding school.

ㅤAGE SIXTEEN.ㅤmagnar had grown into an impressive young man. with good genetics, he sported thick black hair, was taller than his fellow students and well-built. taking to the military lifestyle, he entirely put himself into studying as a soldier and though he never excelled at more academic study, his prowess in sports and physical activity marked him as a strong recruit.during this time, his mother, kassandra was found dead of an overdose, her funeral being one of the few times him and his father had been together for a very long time. the tension between the two, palpable. it was at this funeral that heidegger's father gave him the sword he'd once given him as a child. though he took it, magnar wasn't thankful and began to refer to himself - and make other's refer to him - as heidegger ( rather than magnar ). this was his way of mocking the father he now towered over ( and felt stronger than ).ㅤAGE SEVENTEEN.ㅤ at the age of seventeen (1966) - heidegger was accused of causing disruption in the soldier's barracks after he doused another boy in scolding hot water. the incident happened because the boy had been teasing the young heidegger; the mere act of slightly mocking him led to the lad having third-degree burns, he later left the academy.though heidegger had excelled in the academy for his devotion to the military and it's way of 'straightening him out' his temper was still something notably and widely commented on behind his back within the various ranks.* though this incident should have seen him expelled, his father pulled strings to allow heidegger to get off entirely free.ㅤAGE NINETEEN.ㅤ at the age of nineteen (1968), heidegger met an older woman in a bar; the two had sex, marking him losing his virginity. she ditched him and he never saw her again ( but that kind of worked for him ). it was at this time that he also reconciled with his old sensei, who proceeded to teach him how to use his sword properly. ( and not like a broadsword as heidegger had been wielding it ).ㅤAGE TWENTYONE.ㅤ at the age of twenty-one (1970), heidegger had fully enrolled in the junon army & though he again excelled as a soldier, he would forever find it difficult to progress due to his reputation as an unfriendly hothead. as a young man, he was quiet and thoughtful but had an incredibly dark streak that would find its way out whenever he found himself tested or pushed.though he was feared and generally avoided by the men in his squad ( as well as those who knew him ), heidegger did play briefly for junon's rugby team - the junon zemzelettsas a forward. at this time of his life, he was relatively happy - he was thriving at work and in sports and though lonely, would pride himself on his strong work ethic.ㅤAGE TWENTYtwo.ㅤ at the age of twenty-two (1971), he felled a behemoth in battle ( a rogue beast that had found its way around midgar somehow - nothing to do with the shinra corp, surely ). during this fierce duel, heidegger used the katana honoured to him by his parents - he defeated the beast but was left with a brutal mar across his eye.this event was greatly celebrated by the junon military. heidegger, was seen as a hero. despite it, he still wasn't particularly liked.

ㅤAGE twentythree.ㅤ at twenty-three (1972), heidegger was assigned to a squad of men to explore and clear the path the gaea caves that lined the cliffs north of the icicle area ( around the northern crater ). the expedition was put together by the junon military in conjunction with the shinra corp. this was a small team of men but during the expedition, heidegger would find himself becoming good friends with one in particular - a cosmo canyon native named kaius. kaius bought the young soldier out from his shell, being a largely positive influence on heidegger's life. the two formed a close bond & made plans to see the canyon together once the expedition was done.during this time, heidegger received news that his father - magnar sr had been found dead - with a bullet in his head. this was ruled a suicide, though the truth was never discovered.despite the death of his father, heidegger continued through the icicle region & north toward the gaea caves; initially, their expedition was a success. however, upon reaching the harsh climates of the mountains and becoming entrapped within the sprawling system of caves, the party found themselves quickly overwhelmed by nature & the monsters that dwelled within the caves. one by one, men dropped off until eventually, only sam ( the team's videographer ), kaius & heidegger remained. kaius, having gotten too close to a pool of mako ( or rather, the lifestream ) had found himself infected with an unknown disease - a plague that began to physically eat away at the flesh and bone of his left arm. luckily for the men, rescue arrived but unfortunately for them - their squad had either been mutated into beasts or murdered.once home in junon, sam desserted the army ( only to be later executed ), kaius lost the entirety of his left arm and was medically discharged from the army ( returning to cosmo canyon - alone ) & heidegger was celebrated as having survived the horrific events and further hailed as a hero ( this time, against his will ). the pressure from public perception, what his father had handed down to him in responsibilities & the trauma experienced by losing his men in the gaea caves resulted in a nervous breakdown with heidegger becoming outwardly suicidal & overly-aggressive to those around him.his extreme behaviour resulted in him being hospitalised, where he was kept under observation for a year as they medicated him in the hopes he would improve.

a young heidegger works as the right hand man to president shinra.

ㅤAGE twentyfive.ㅤ at the age of twenty-five (1974), a hospitalised heidegger was approached by members of his father's private military company (pcm) with an offer to work among their ranks.seeing no other options for his life, and with a bitter resentment toward the world around him and the nature of mercenaries as a whole - he reluctantly took the offer.during this time, the world was in a constant state of war - with the pcm that heidegger was a part of frequently used by the shinra corp as a means of battle.as a high-ranking soldier, heidegger soon found himself disillusioned by the money-grabbing ways of the pcm he was a part of. it had become a stretch away from his father's vision, the other mercs had become cold and distant, and his leader was nothing more than a cowardly, money-obsessed fool.disgusted and disappointed by those who didn't fight a battle for a thrill or reason but rather money, heidegger turned his attention to the young president shinra - an ambitious, strong man who had dreams that stretched beyond money or power.the president offered heidegger a position at his side, as a bodyguard and military strategist / advisor; revitalised - heidegger took the offer.ㅤAGE twentyseven.ㅤ at the age of twenty-seven ( 1976 ), heidegger met with his old friend kaius. the former-solder now equipped with a prosthetic left arm, no longer a soldier but instead a medic owning a small shelter within cosmo canyon for those injured to settle at and be healed. upon seeing heidegger for the first time in so long, he was shocked at how the man had changed. his seemingly blind admiration for shinra & his pride in old war wounds he was once traumatised by. kaius tried to talk heidegger into quitting the shinra / junon military and instead joining him at his clinic, unfortunately for both of them, heidegger refused.somewhat heartbroken by the rendezvous with his old friend, heidegger turned his interest to a journalist that had been poking around the shinra company. a strong woman called zhara, with a beautiful mane of blonde hair and piercing green eyes - despite her initial disdain for all things shinra, the two found comfort in sparring with one another. soon enough, they were married (and upon landing wealth in heidegger's arms, she soon dropped any story trash-talking shinra).ㅤAGE twentyeight.ㅤ at twenty-eight (1977), heidegger and zhara's first daughter was born - edlyn. edlyn inherited her father's looks, dark hair and dark eyes - she would later grow into a statuesque stunner of a woman, more in-line with a model than the journalist she would later aspire to be.it was within the next few years that the military would be renamed as the public security sector of shinra & heidegger - at the age of thirty-two would be dubbed the acting leader of this branch - in reality, the sector was ran by various higher ranking members of the military, with heidegger busy at shinra's side ( as well as looking after his wife and young child ).

ㅤAGE thirtysix.ㅤ at the age of thirty-six (1983), heidegger and zhara's second daughter was born - dwayna. dwayna very much looks like her mother, with blonde hair and bright eyes - she's short in stature as a grown woman ( standing at around five feet five, she has a curvaceous but slim figure ) & unlike anybody in her family, would later aspire to be a traveller.ㅤAGE fortythree.ㅤ when heidegger was forty-three (1990), the war between wutai and shinra erupted with the acting-leader of public security / shinra's right hand being deployed to serve on the frontline within the army as a lieutenant colonel; incensed by president shinra and relieved to once again be on the battlefield he'd pined for for so long - heidegger took to battle like a duck to water.he thrived in the early war, slaughtering wutai soldiers and paving a way for shinra's mech to further take the land. despite his roots to wutai, he felt no guilt or shame in taking over - his genuine belief in shinra being that by taking the land, they would make it 'better'. he held onto shinra's word that the war would see wutai thrive as an asset of shinra.AND THEN HE MET GODO -

heidegger turns to drink when things begin to fall apart.

ㅤAGE fortyfive.ㅤ at the age of forty-four (1991), heidegger fought godo in a 'battle to the death' - the younger of the two, wutai's king being an exceptional force of nature that the shinra soldier found himself struggling against.during the battle, godo struck heidegger down - impaling him through the chest with his scimitar before leaving him for dead ( because he'd assumed him to be ). picked up by shinra troops, heidegger was taken out of action and nursed in a hospital back in junon - here, he was comatose for three weeks.upon waking up, he was informed that his injury was so severe as to permanently effect the beat of his heart ( he essentially was left 'heartbroken' by this encounter ). placed on medication for the remainder of his life and told he could never fight again, heidegger went home to find his wife zhara leaving alongside his daughters ( now ages, 14 & 8 ), citing he never cared for her or them and only ever cared for battle.devastated, heidegger turned to alcohol.seeing as he could no longer fight, he was instead moved to office command but promoted for his feats in battle to be the official leader of public security ( as well as a general ).his battle against godo was massively lied about and spun by the media to have had him won the battle rather than lose it - with the suggestion being that the pair had drawn after heidegger had extended his hand to help godo. though heidegger initially disapproved of this lie, he later came to believe it himself - running with it & spinning the same web when asked. this is where he gets his 'an enemy spared is an enemy who will repay your "kindness" with blood.' ( he taps his chest as he says it, indication that the old wound still hurts to this day ).

ㅤstandard verse, current timeline.ㅤ =from here on, the continuity follows the continuity of the games - however, with some added elements due to headcanons.
during the bc junon mission - heidegger takes control of the turks and royally fucks up; this is in part due to two things. for one, his lack of understanding at commanding a team like the turks ( they're very different from the military; this was inspired by a suggestion by @ceaselxss ) - the second reason is because he was still very much a suffering alcoholic ( and though this wasn't public knowledge, his fuck-ups are in part due to his frequent intoxication ).during the north crater section of the og ffvii - heidegger doesn't leave the highwind - this is because of his experience as a young man. he is literally too terrified to step outside of the flight ( but will pretend otherwise if asked ).during this time, he is divorced - his daughters are grown up. with edlyn being a journalist residing in kalm ( at age 30 ) & dwayna, a traveller ( at age 24 ).ㅤalternative future, post meteor.ㅤ this is set in an au in which heidegger survives the proud clod fight; during the battle, his heart gave out and he suffered a massive heart attack. as well as this, he suffered with fourth-degree burns and smoke inhalation - leaving the surviving man a husk of his former self. he has nary

WITH A REPUTATION FOR BEING THE SAVAGE LEADER OF THE SHINRA MILITARY - HEIDEGGER HOLDS NO PRISONERS, NOR DOES HE HOLD HIS PUNCHES.TO THE GREATER PUBLIC - HE IS THE SERIOUS ( YET THEATRICAL ) HEAD OF PUBLIC SAFETY FOR SHINRA INC. A MAN WHOSE MAIN CONCERN IS THE SANCTITY AND SAFETY OF THE PEOPLE OF MIDGAR ( AND THE WORLD ! ) TO THOSE WHO KNOW HIM, HEIDEGGER IS UNFORGIVING AND BORDERLINE SADISTIC. HE HAS A LARGER THAN LIFE PERSONALITY, DESCRIBED AS 'ECCENTRIC' AND 'PASSIONATE' BY HIS COLLEAGUES. HIS MILITARY BACKGROUND MAKES FOR A MAN SCARRED BY WAR BUT A MAN WHO THRIVES IN IT, NONE-THE-LESS.PEEL BACK THE LAYERS AND ONE WILL FIND A MAN WITH HISTORY. A MAN WHO PERPETUATES THE LIE HE LIVES AND DOUBLES-DOWN IN HIS OWN STUBBORNNESS.A MAN WHO HAS MADE A FRIEND OF PAIN AND BY EXTENSION - A FRIEND OF HORROR.

physical & mental health

Heidegger has a large scar across his right eye - this was given to him by a Behemoth when he was twenty-two years old. He also has a large scar between his pectoral muscles - this was caused by Godo stabbing him through the chest with a scimitar. He has various small scars dotted around his knuckles and hands, as well as various scars from fights dotted across his body.In terms of physical health, Heidegger suffers with heart problems as a result of his age / health / old injury. This problem leaves him with an irregular heartbeat ( sort of like a heart murmur ) that he MUST take medication for. When he gets overexcited / angry, he can feel his heart beat painfully fast ( this makes him angrier ). He also suffers with weakness and exhaustion as a result of his injuries from the early days of the wutai war. Mental HealthMentally, Heidegger is not entirely well. He suffers with PTSD, ( mild ) anxiety, depression & alcoholism. He will not admit to ANY of them and exudes a toxic mindset regarding them. Heidegger has had therapy & mental health intervention as a young man ( he denied as much help as he could, aside from being sectioned ). The man has a lot of issues. Openly, he is sadomasochistic.medicationHe takes medication for his heart & pain medication for the aches / pains in his joints & muscles.

fighting style

Heidegger fights like a samurai - his weapon of choice, a Katana. However, he hasn't always fought this way ( he's always been a very physical fighter, with a lot of grappling / wrestling ). He's built like a rugby player and has fought like it in the past. When Heidegger does battle and battle properly, he holds his sword in a sheath to his left ( so's it can be drawn with his right hand ), he attacks his enemy with vigorous and aggressive strikes and lacks the patience of a usual swordmaster. Despite his technique being unique, it always works out for him ( as it takes many enemies off guard ).Heidegger's blade is infused with water ( partially because of it's leviathan influence and partly because of his relation to junon & water).

Now, I got no fight with any man who does what he's told, but when he don't, the machine breaks down. And when the machine breaks down, we break down. And I ain't gonna allow that in any of you.

I'M NOT HERE TO CRITICISE OR INSULT YOUR TASTES OR MUSE, SO DON'T DO IT TO ME, PLEASE. I WRITE HEIDEGGER AS A VILLAIN AND GENERALLY WONT SHY FROM WRITING HIM AS MEAN, AGGRESSIVE ETC. BUT I DO PREFER ANTAGONISTIC SHIPS TO HAVE DISCUSSION BEFORE HAND.

ㅤ006.ㅤ I DO SUFFER WITH MIGRAINES SO PREFER MORE SIMPLIFIED THREADS. I DON'T MIND HOW YOU EDIT YOUR STUFF BUT PLEASE, PLEASE, IF YOU WRITE WITH ME - DON'T OVER-FORMAT YOUR THREADS VIA THE USE OF TINY, TINY TEXT AND MASSIVE SPACES. MY HEAD JUST CAN'T HANDLE IT AND I'LL STRUGGLE TO REPLY, I'M SORRY FOR ANY AWKWARDNESS THIS CAUSES :(

I WILL NOT WRITE WITH ANY MUNS UNDER THE AGE OF 18. MUSES UNDER THE AGE OF 18 ARE FINE IN NON-SEXUAL CONTEXT.I AM OPEN TO ALL MANNER OF SHIPS FROM FRIENDS, TO COLLEAGUES, TO LOVERS, TO ENEMIES, TO FAMILY, TO WHATEVER ELSE! I LOVE ALL KINDS OF SHIPS!

PLEASE CONSIDER AGES AND ATTRACTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ROMANTICALLY SHIP WITH ME. HEIDEGGER IS 58 YEARS OLD AND HE WAS TWO ADULT DAUGHTERS. BOTH BETWEEN THE AGES OF 18-35. AS FOR ATTRACTION, **HEIDEGGER IS NOT INTERESTED IN /TWINKS/ OR YOUNG LOOKING GIRLS / GUYS. HE WILL NOT BE YOUR CHARACTER'S 'DADDY'. I'M SORRY FOR EVEN WRITING THIS RULE, BUT I FEEL I HAVE TO.

I DO LIKE DISCUSSION BEFORE ANY ROMANTIC OR ANTAGONISTIC SHIPS PURELY TO AVOID GETTING WIRES CROSSED AT ANY POINT WITH THESE KINDS OF SHIPS.

THOUGH I WRITE HEIDEGGER AS BISEXUAL, HIS BISEXUALITY IS A SECRET AND IS NOT SOMETHING LARGELY DISCLOSED / KNOWN BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC OR EVEN THOSE WORKING WITH HIM. ANY SAME SEX ROMANTIC SHIPS WILL REQUIRE DISCUSSION AND PLOTTING BEFORE CONSIDERATION.

I ALSO WRITE HEIDEGGER AS PERSONALLY INTO EXTREME BDSM. DO NOT APPROACH ME FOR THIS UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR THE EXTENT OF THAT KIND OF SHIP. THIS DOES NOT MEAN JUST MILD CHOKING OR SOME SPANKING. THIS IS HARDCORE AND POTENTIALLY TRIGGERING MATERIAL.

I WILL ONLY WRITE THIS KIND OF SHIP WITH A CONSENSUAL PARTNER WHO UNDERSTANDS THE MATERIAL.

TRIGGERS PRESENT ON THIS BLOG LISTED HERE!
- SEXUAL VIOLENCE ( CONSENSUAL ) / HARD BDSM.
- SADISM, MASOCHISM & TORTURE.
- GENOCIDAL IDEALOGY / PREJUDICE / WAR & OPPRESSION.
- BLOOD / VIOLENCE / GORE ( NEVER ANY IMAGERY USED BUT WILL APPEAR IN THREADS ).
- AGGRESSION / ANGER / LOSS OF CONTROL / MENTAL HEALTH.

TRIGGERS ARE TAGGED 'TW EXAMPLE' .
I, MYSELF, HAVE NO TRIGGERS. HOWEVER I DO FIND CAR ACCIDENTS UNSETTLING.

ㅤANTI-SHIP, PRO-SHIP, WHAT'S A SHIP?ㅤ

I AM NOT INTERESTED IN THIS DEBATE AND DON'T WISH TO GET INVOLVED WITH EITHER SIDE. I BELIEVE IN ARTISTIC FREEDOM AND AM ANTI-CENSORSHIP, HOWEVER, I ALSO BELIEVE IN RESPECTING THOSE AROUND YOU. IF I SEE ANYTHING INVOLVING MINORS ON MY DASH, I'LL NOPE THE FUCK OUT HAHA.
