#I'd be curious to know what show anon is referencing

This is a weird ask that kind of relates to the headcanon of Vasco being a blood donor.
What's is Vasco's and Machete's blood type?
Maybe they like hook eachother up and die if they have incompatible blood types.
That's the way to go. Kinda romantic?
(A reference to a show that I hope someone here gets-)
This has no bearing whatsoever and I'm picking these based on nothing.
It would be ironic if Machete was O-, which is the universal donor type. It can be given to anyone without adverse effects, which makes it very useful in cases of trauma and emergency when the receiver's blood type is unknown. But he wouldn't be able to donate because of his chronic anemia and low weight. Type O- can only receive O- blood.
I'm tempted to give Vasco O+. Over 80% of human population is compatible with it so it's always in high demand, and I like to think as a regular donor his blood would have extremely high chances of being put to good use this way. Type O+ can receive O+ and O- blood.
Neither of them are that uncommon, and it would be kind of funny if they had the same group by chance but were only halfway compatible.

Ik you like Sekingar and luckily I do too so pls do him for the 4 headcanon game!
*Beams* SEKINGAR!! : D
Thank you so much for this ask anon! you have excellent taste ;)
It would be an honor and delight to answer your request. Please hold on, I'll try to be credible (at least not completely unhinged) but I may start gushing. These are headcanons after all so I'll give myself some free reign.
I think this one is going to end up being a bit long so for anyone who is curious I've answered this question for the following characters already:
Genos Drive Knight Mumen Rider King
Send a character’s name to receive four different headcanons And you chose:
~Sekingar~
Headcanon A:  realistic (oops a meta)
Sekingar is Punk AF
What do I mean by Punk? I mean a person, often (not always) an activist, involved in a counter cultural movement which is critical of established hierarchy and strongly favors individuality and radical self-expression.
Hear me out.
The dude is an idealist but he knows that good things take work.
Sekingar actively listens to Child Emperor, a character who has complained about not being taken seriously or listened to by HA or fellow heroes but Sekingar hears him out, asks questions, and modifies the plan around CE's new information. Which indicates to me that he's not restricted himself to biases around 'pecking order' and that he's not limited himself by lazy ageist biases.
Tumblr media
If you get a chance you should go back and re-read this whole interacting. Sekingar pushes back against some of Child Emperor's assumptions for example "If you have any suspicions, you ought to ask the involved party directly." Encouraging more appropriate interpersonal behaviors. But in the end he obviously respects CE's expertise and values his input. He differs to the CE's judgement.
Everyone has biases and it takes effort or experience to unburden oneself of, if you live in a society or work for an organization that trends towards devaluing the efforts of the lower-ranking or younger members (like the HA seems to be at times) it is an act of resistance to behave counter to that culture. Sekingar has put in the work to know what he believe and stand for, that takes practice, and the results show.
Before that, and even more impressively, we see Sekingar standing his ground with both the Hero Association Administration and with Waganma's father who offers 'any amount of money' for Waganma's safe return. Sekingar seems almost disgusted by the notion that any amount of money would motivate him to do his hero work any better or any differently.
Tumblr media
I'd be surprised if I was reading that expression wrong, talk about looking down your nose at someone, literally. Thankfully since it's part of Sekingar's job to keep a good rapport withe the public and with donors it's the S-Class heroes who come in and assure Mr. Narinki that money is not the motivation.
One of the next times we see him he's helping to organize a group of heroes for the rescue operation during the Monster Association raid. And you know what he reminds me of during this? A highly effective community organizer. His famous speech,the one that made Metal Bat (one of the most punk heroes) respect him, and the one King referenced in the last chapter:
Tumblr media
The moment Sekingar earns Metal Bat's respect.
Power Gaps don't matter. We do what we can with the hand we're given. What else is there for us to do? ... Not feeling confident? A stone is a stone. A diamond is a diamond. But both can be treasures, doing the right thing in the right place. Making sure everything is in the right place. That's my job.
This feels a lot like the type of speech you deliver as a activist and community organizer. You face people who aren't doing anything to support a cause even if they care about it, people with limited time, resources, education, and investment, and as a community organizer it's your duty to fit the form of activism to the activists capacity. Young single mothers, people living with various disabilities, people working several jobs, people in living in poverty, people with an excess of free-time and/or money, all of the above. Everyone can play a role in community activism, especially when we all work together. Sekingar both has experience with this type of community organization and has had to learn these lessons through tough experiences.
He wanted wants to be a Hero.
The more I learn about the OPM world the more convinced that you have to be a tiny bit on the crazy end to want to be a hero. And not only did Sekingar take the Hero exam but when he failed he didn't give up, he simply changed his strategy. He now hopes that his accomplishments working for the Hero Association will earn him a place in history as a hero.
There are few things quite as Punk as being a hero. Heroes are people who resist doing what's safe and easy to fight for a better world. From the crazy outfits and hairstyles, the body modifications, the training, and the willingness to get a bit rough and tumble for a good cause. Heroes are Punk as hell. Sekingar may dress the part of a white collar HA executive but his history with heroism is as apparent as his cybernetic eye.
Tumblr media
Sekingar carrying multiple heroes to safety alone.
He didn't flinch at the chance to fight a monster, he's genuine, more concerned with the mission and the people than the cost, he's strong body and mind, he almost highhandedly carried several downed heroes to safety. He's uncomfortably comfortable with needles and wounds. When he lost his hand he dressed his own wound, administered his own shot (and f-king TOSSED the syringe like a mad-man) and just kept going. Sometimes being counter-culture can get a bit rough and tumble.
Tumblr media
Sekingar working with Genos to make sure everyone gets to safety. Several people have almost fallen off of the pile already and Sekingar has pulled them all together with only one functional hand.
Tumblr media
I still haven't forgiven him for his lack of sharps etiquette
Sekingar could fall into a pretty comfortable life-style as a HA executive but he doesn't, he keeps fighting to be recognized as a hero. More than that, he's fighting to actually make a difference whether or not he earns the recognition he deserves.
To sum up:
Sekingar is a hero.
Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious
Sekingar has a pet cat, so cleaning the stray hairs off his suit takes 20 minutes or more every day, but he takes his job very seriouslyTM so he's gotten it down to a science.
Sekingar is out of date on popculture references because he's been too busy working to watch tv shows, occationally the heroes he works closely with will make references and he'll go look them up after to be able to connect and communicate with the team.
Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends
If Sekingar survives the Monster Association Arc he's likely to be fired by the Hero Association or worse.
(WC refrences) If he survives Sekingar could end up getting caught up in the Neo Hero nastiness that's been happening in the Webcomic. (WC refrences end)
Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.
Sekingar will survive the MA arc, I don't care what happens, he will. And he'll get a cybornetic hand to replace the one he lost.
Oh! I'd love it if *if* he was fired from the HA he started his own organisation. If I trusted organizing heros to anyone (it's like herding cats after all) I might just trust Sekingar.
This is really just a silly thing for just me, but I headcanon that Sekingar is bi or gay. It's not something that matters and I think I'd be annoyed if the manga made that a thing. He also gives me so much straight dude energy but eh, who cares, you can't 100% tell someone's orientation just by how they look.
