GET INSIDE YOUR CHARACTER'S HEAD! aka The Excessively Detailed Headcanon Meme
1: What does their house look like? It's a house on the edge of the urban district but close to the ocean.
His bedroom is a loft looking out over the rest of the house on the inside with a big balcony looking out over the ocean. Snow lives in a very urban and modern-styled house with a lot of glass and steel on the inside and a lot of deco pieces. He's a minimalist when it comes to living. His cabinets are shelves, marble counter tops, very similar to this:

2: Do they have any daily rituals?
Gym every day. And the usual brushing of teeth, showers, cooking his own meals, etc.
3: Do they exercise, and if so, what do they do? How often?
He lifts weights and also exercises both for himself and as a demonstration to his students at the University in sort of "combat obstacle course" scenarios. His jobs requires him to be in top physical condition, both for aesthetics as well as utility. He's a professor and a muscle model. He also trains extensively with a scythe, as well as in capoeira.
4: What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy?
It's his house... Why would his kitchen be busy?
5: Cleanliness habits (personal, workspace, etc.)
He doesn't have a whole lot of -stuff- to just lay around, so he stays pretty clean. In his work space, and in his bedroom, the most that'd be in there would be a few dirty clothes or a water cup.
6: Eating habits and sample daily menu
Snow eats a -lot-. And he cooks everything he eats, to the point that he actually weighs his food and eats at regular intervals throughout the day. Chicken, bison, sweet potatoes, beef, tons of veggies, and, as a rare treat, some booze when he's with friends.
7: Favorite way to waste time and feelings surrounding wasting time.
He loves to learn and develop new ways of doing things in his field. He also will look for modeling gigs. Wasting time isn't something he does much. His attention span doesn't allow for just whiling time away.
8: Favorite indulgence and feelings surrounding indulging.
He honestly really actually likes to fight. He'll set up and run scenarios for himself all the time. This is an indulgence for him. He loves to be challenged.
9: Makeup?
Only on set.
10: Neuroses? Do they recognize them as such?
He tries to keep strict control of his pacts and his ice magic. The first manifestation when he starts to lose control is that his breath will start to fog when he exhales, and so he immediately blocks everything and buckles down. When controlling it, his body's also a normal temperature, but when it's left to its own devices, his entire frame will go cold.
11: Intellectual pursuits?
He's a professor of Applied Magical Theory and Supernatural Combat at the University. He develops his own styles of magic almost constantly.
12: Favorite book genre?
If he's reading a book, it's probably so he can derive something from it and make his own method. Probably spellbooks.
13: Sexual Orientation? And, regardless of own orientation, thoughts on sexual orientation in general?
He's gay. In his mind, though, people are people. People like what people like.
14: Physical abnormalities? (Both visible and not, including injuries/disabilities, long-term illnesses, food-intolerances, etc.)
He's allergic to wheat and gluten. Other than that, he's just a little bit near-sighted and will wear glasses at home or if required at a shoot, but contacts when he goes out to work or exercise or have fun.
15: Biggest and smallest short term goal?
Biggest short-term goal: Find a boyfriend that sticks.
Smallest short-term goal: Make it through another day without looking silly in front of his students.
16: Biggest and smallest long term goal?
Biggest long-term goal: Have or adopt a kid with the boyfriend from his short-term goal.
Smallest long-term goal: Make up to 6 pacts with various entities. So far he's up to 3.
17: Preferred mode of dress and rituals surrounding dress.
Exercise: Any time he's exercising, fighting, or sometimes even teaching (at least during practicals), he rarely, if ever, wears a shirt. During these times, he'll generally wear capoeira pants with some sort of neat design on them, or will be content with basically board shorts or boxer-brief style trunks. His feet will usually be barefoot, so he can use his foot claws if needed.
Casual: Usually square cut tank tops and sleeveless hoodies work for him in combination with some sort of fashionable custom jean and belt combo that was probably horrendously expensive but was given to him on a modeling set. Flip-flops are his footwear of choice.
Stylish: Designer custom jeans or cargo pants, and a tight v-neck teeshirt, maybe even something like this: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-WPIT6DNCL.....15-600x854.jpg come winter or fall, even though he doesn't ever get cold.
18: Favorite beverage?
Ice cold water. Orange juice if he's feeling feisty.
19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night?
The fact that no one's falling asleep on his chest, and he can't feel someone's heat next to him, or their breath on his fur.
20: Childhood illnesses? Any interesting stories behind them?
He couldn't control his magic, and anything he touched would frost over.
21: Turn-ons? Turn-offs?
Turn-ons: Muscle, strength, compassion, making his partner feel good and feeling good in return, motivation, guys who are his size, or even bigger, Big cats and wolves, holding a guy's muzzle on his dick as he cums, muscle growth.
Turn-offs: Fat, flings, cockiness, drunken idiocy, smokers, guys who lie, guys who are slovenly or unmotivated.
22: Given a blank piece of paper, a pencil, and nothing to do, what would happen?
You'd probably come out with a new way to summon that same pencil back to you as long as you had that piece of paper and whatever magic he drew on it.
23: How organized are they? How does this organization/disorganization manifest in their everyday life?
He's pretty organized as far as living goes, and he stays clean at home, but his life is lived spontaneously outside of his house. He loves adventure and the unknown.
24: Is there one subject of study that they excel at? Or do they even care about intellectual pursuits at all?
Magic, any and all of it. Combat as well, and combining the two. His specialties are ice magic out of talent, and summoning out of personal interest.
25: How do they see themselves 5 years from today?
Sitting down at some time in the winter, watching his 4 year old twin sons mess around and have fun in the living room while drinking hot chocolate with whoever his mate is. He's a dreamer, and a romantic.
26: Do they have any plans for the future? Any contingency plans if things don’t workout?
Other than starting a family, nothing specific.
27: What is their biggest regret?
Not learning how to not be shy around people sooner.
28: Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy?
Snow's best friend is in a mercenary group, so they don't see each other much, except when he comes home from an assignment. His name is Alex. As far as he knows, anyone who's ever really been his enemy is dead.
29: Reaction to sudden extrapersonal disaster (eg The house is on fire! What do they do?)
He stays calm and collected, and usually deals with the problem pretty efficiently. He even, somehow, manages to look good while doing it.
30: Reaction to sudden intrapersonal disaster (eg close family member suddenly dies)
Snow pretty much breaks down when his world breaks. He has a really hard time with stuff like this.
31: Most prized possession?
His necklace.
32: Thoughts on material possessions in general?
Generally they're transient, though his necklace has deep personal value to him.
33: Concept of home and family?
He really wants to have both.
34: Thoughts on privacy? (Are they a private person, or are they prone to ‘TMI’?)
He's very private emotionally, but he's also a very outgoing individual. Also, he's generally pretty shy as well. In a situation he knows he can do well at, though, he comes out of his shell a lot and thrives.
35: What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?
Bar-hopping with friends.
36: What makes them feel guilty?
Any time a student of his gets hurt in class. He feels like he should've been able to teach or prepare the student better.
37: Are they more analytical or more emotional in their decision-making?
I'd say about 50/50.
38: What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?
Cuddle time. And going out in the cold weather.
39: Would you say that they have a superiority-complex? Inferiority-complex? Neither?
I think that, psychologically, Snow has a bit of an inferiority complex in that he always feels like he needs to prove that he's 'good enough'.
40: How misanthropic are they?
Not at all. Though when he is in a to-the-death fight, he can be -really- damn brutal.
41: Hobbies?
Cooking, working out, capoeira, magic, seeking out powerful entities to make pacts with, absently making designs on surfaces of things in ice when he's bored.
42: How far did they get in formal education? What are their views on formal education vs self-education?
He's got his doctorate in Applied Magical Theory, as well as another doctorate in Applied Magical Practices and another in Combat Specific Magic.
43: Religion?
He believes in something very similar to the concept of the Lifestream.
44: Superstitions or views on the occult?
There's a light and a dark side. Neither is better. Embrace both.
45: Do they express their thoughts through words or deeds?
Deeds
46: If they were to fall in love, who (or what) is their ideal?
He doesn't know, yet.
47: How do they express love?
Snow's a very physically affectionate person. He's also a gift-giver.
48: If this person were to get into a fist fight, what is their fighting style like?
Acrobatic and flashy, magic flying all over the place while also beating the crap out of someone with his fists.
49: Is this person afraid of dying? Why or why not?
He's young, and he's been on the brink, but I don't think it was scary for him as much as wishing he had more time to really live.
