III. Answer questions people have left for you with your headcanon, or canon if it's been covered there.

Robert what were your worst ideas when you were first starting inventing as a kid

[pushtheboundaries]

this one time at band camp

[pushtheboundaries]

No but really uh

I can totally see him messing with the roomba and next thing you know mom is screaming and he's trying to beat it with a baseball bat

[resipiscent]

what would be callaghan's choice of super-power if choosing was a thing?

[pushtheboundaries]

OH MAN IDK. I talked on Plurk re; him having some sort of Animation if he didn't have Power Theft; the idea of putting some of him in to an object to animate it/give it some life, and some degree of control/awareness thereof/etc. But I think he would choose something like Time Travel, for...relatively obvious reasons 8)

What did Robert think of Krei before the accident?

What sort of things did he have to learn while looking after Abigail?

What are some things he's afraid of?

Also tell me about his army days.

[pushtheboundaries]

Young(er) and maybe a bit inexperienced, but one forgave the other. I imagine Robert was interested in seeing where Krei would take the world, and saw some flaws... but as a human beings. So long as he had others to help guide him, he'd take things quite far.

And maaaan. Robert definitely began to learn that he couldn't control everything; more to the point, that something or other would ALWAYS be beyond him. Teenage girls are HARD. He, ah, also got to know the joy of being a single parent, obviously, and when you're the opposite gender as your kid things could get a bit hairy. On the bright side, he has no fear of the tampon aisle.

At this point, his biggest fear is that Abigail wouldn't understand why he did what he did, and would hate him for it. Otherwise, there's only so much; there's the obvious like fear of death and all, but I don't think he has any phobias. He has dislikes and a survival instinct, and ugh confronting the board about the budget, but...

You in particular already know lil bit; brief stint in SERE and a fling thing. Otherwise, he reached the rank of lieutenant, and did so pretty quickly; however, though he was decent at it, he didn't really have the drive to do more. His exposure to combat was minimum, but that was more because he was more support than infantry; not for lack of ability, his skill set just suited him more to working on the vehicles and tech as opposed to paving the way.

What was Robert's childhood like?

[pushtheboundaries]

Military brat, with his father being the military parent; he was raised on base, but had a good deal of socialization off of it. That said, he wasn't much for socialization; he was always more interested in machines than people, seeing them as far easier to work with. He wasn't a 'problem' child in this regard, but when given the chance and/or opportunity, he'd almost always go to work on some tech or personal project as opposed to hanging out with 'friends'.

He had some, but he was still the odd one out, and honestly that never really bothered him. They always looked to him when it came to tech fixes, and he was completely fine with being the one taking care of those...and/or, "Hey, Robbie, what if..." "...let's do it."

For science, man!
