Thoughts on/headcanons for Jeff

I just got Jeff figured out, so here are my notes on him so far. I'll keep updating this as more ideas come along. I'll add Ness, Paula's and Poo's someday.
  • So, if he's "really near-sighted" I'm guessing he takes his glasses off when working on smaller-scaled sections of his projects that need precise movement and work.
  • I've mentioned this before, but I feel like Jeff's the kind of guy to keep a pocket notebook and write down or roughly sketch anything that interests him. Those sorts of things include:
    • Quotes he heard people say, or ones from anywhere he's read
    • Sketches of vehicles, machinery, and even buildings or random objects he comes across
    • Random facts that he hears about any subject
    • Drafts of letters, subjects to talk about
    • Tips and advice he learns
    • You get the general idea
  • He's just a little stoic. Stoic enough that he's no fun to annoy, but not so much that he's no fun to be around either. 
  • It's easy for him to one-up most people in a discussion, debate or argument. In fact, he likes doing this a lot. Sometimes he'll get competitive in normal conversations
  • I want him to have somewhat violent tendancies and itches for action. Particularly inspired by this clip and this old comic I made based off a scene from the same show. 
  • I feel like he'd be a little scheming and likes to take advantage of situations. I remember so many years ago, I read this one fanfic of the zodiac signs babysitting a kid and everyone except for Capricorn and Scorpio agreed to ditch the job and go to a party/club. Capricorn whispered to Scorpio, "Okay. Once this is done, we'll split the money". I dunno, I feel like that's something my version of Jeff would do
  • If this wasn't an obvious interpretation of him, Jeff likes science fiction too. He tries his best not to get bothered when the creators get a bit too creative with their worldbuilding.
  • "kind of shy", ok so Jeff can't socialise. That's where Tony comes in - to do all the talking. ...Except for when Jeff leaves to join Ness, so that becomes the other party members' jobs.
  • When he uses slang & dialect from Winters, sometimes he has to explain himself to the rest of the party. Some of those words have rubbed off on them, the same way some Eaglelandian slang and dialect has entered his own vocabulary
To be continued...?
