For The Headcanons: Victor

For the headcanons: Victor

As established in Existentially Challenged, Victor is a very powerful pyrokinetic and is very resistant to Ifrig. The fact that he has a very strong resistance to him might've made Ifrig a little more interested in him. But I imagine there are points where he allowed himself to almost let him take over in times of high emotional stress and he uses his powers too much. For example, during one of their missions, Adam briefly dying causes Victor to be possessed by him for a moment.

Victor is a good singer, but he denies it every time someone compliments him, telling them that he’s tone deaf. Eventually, Adam got video evidence of him singing Nirvana at the Department’s Christmas party. He promised that he wouldn’t show the video to the others if Victor admits that he’s a good singer. He was promptly shut up with a kiss.

Victor is a natural cat magnet. And I don’t mean him flocking to cats. I mean cats flocking to him. Whenever a cat sees Victor, they always walk toward him. No matter how scary he tries to make himself look, there’s always a chance a cat would be nearby. There was an instance of a big group of cats chilling in the carpark, making it impossible for agents to park their cars. Eventually, the source was traced to Victor who just so happened to stumble upon the cats while he and Adam were on their way to work.

At first, Victor’s relationship with Adam was a friends with benefits thing. Just two guys getting together to blow off steam. They still called each other friends and such. As time went on, feelings started to get into the whole thing and they decided to become a real couple. Victor was pretty nervous when he decided to tell the others, worried that he and Adam are gonna be ostracized, but to his surprise, their reaction was largely positive. In fact, Elizabeth and Danvers already knew that the two had a thing for each other before they decided to come out. He would bring up his relationship with Philip, but he... disappeared.

Victor pretty much aced his first aid training when he was employed at the Ministry. His skills wouldn’t really be of much use at first since other agents tend to die. But when it became the Department of Extradimensional Affairs, his skills came in handy, saving the lives of a few agents. He can swiftly stem the bleeding, tell when someone’s going to shock, restart their hearts in just a few minutes, etc. The other agents like to affectionately say he has a “medic brain”, but Victor prefers not to be put on a pedestal like that. He likes to keep reality in mind. Brain damage is a thing.

Victor tends to be very nitpicky when he watches stuff. Some of the stuff he comments on are genuine criticisms, but sometimes, it’s stuff that irks him a bit. He tries not to do that as much.
