001 Snowpiercer Character Headcanon Biography : Curtis Everett +++ Before he boarded the Snowpiercer, Curtis Everett was just about to begin his senior year in high school and planned to study sports medicine when he entered college and dreamed of becoming a sports physician for a high-profile sports team in football or basketball. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Steven Everett, a humble middle-class couple who worked as an accountant and a housekeeper, respectively. Curtis enjoyed listening to alternative indie bands, exploring his hometown of Boston, and actively participating in online blogs and forums dedicated to superhero movies he loves. He mostly kept to himself but had a close group of friends growing up, and harbored an extreme dislike towards the privileged trust fund brat classmates who made fun of him and his social background. Soon after the CW-7 rockets were launched by the governments of the world and the Earth began its rapid descent into a frozen wasteland, Curtis and his parents quickly made haste to New York City where they heard of a train that would protect the citizens of the planet from the icy death slowly engulfing the planet. They arrived in Big Apple only to see scenes of extreme chaos and anarchy rampaging on the city streets. Thousands of people desperately swarmed to the train station at JFK International hoping to gain passage aboard the so-called "miracle train" of Wilford Industries. Realizing too late that what little of their combined life savings wasn't even enough for one Economy Class ticket, the Everetts thus resolved to board the massive locomotive by force along with hundreds of others who couldn't afford safe haven on board the rattling ark. Unfortunately, Curtis's parents were shot down by armed guards hired by Wilford Industries to avert the violent crowds of people trying to ambush incoming passengers with train tickets or crossing the barricades and attempting to board the train as stowaways. Forced to leave behind the bodies of his dead parents, Curtis channeled his anger by picking up a nearby axe left on the ground and hacking his way through the obstacles in order to get on board the train. At 17 years old, Curtis was one of the very few teenagers to have successfully boarded the train and survived the grisly, nightmarish bloodbath that preceded the maiden voyage of the Snowpiercer. Only after the Front Section authorities deigned to provide the Tail Section stowaways with the gelatinous bars of sustenance known as "protein blocks" did Curtis fully mourn the loss of his parents and lived with an enduring case of survivor's guilt on top of his deep-seated shame of having killed Edgar's mother and almost devouring a then-infant Edgar. He initially wanted to take part in the McGregor Riots, but was strongly advised against doing so by Gilliam, who deemed Curtis as not yet ready to engage in warfare against the Front Section. Grudgingly accepting the wisdom of his savior and mentor, Curtis stayed behind and helped restrain an over-eager Edgar and counted himself lucky in the end to have not participated in the riots because, in retrospect, he needed a carefully thought out battle plan to make an uprising against the Front work. Despite his traumatic life experiences in the new ice age, Curtis has remained a reserved and quiet individual that rarely lets other people in unless they are people he can explicitly trust. Nevertheless, his rather taciturn personality has not stopped Edgar and the younger kids looking up to him as their role model as Curtis always makes sure to look out for the well-being of the others and often mediates on behalf of Gilliam if conflicts arise between two Tail Sectioners. +++ Many thanks to the guys over at twogoodarms, and also to fyeahsnowpiercer for regularly liking and reblogging my Snowpiercer posts, the latter especially for saying that I make the best gifsets from this amazing cinematic masterpiece!

002 Snowpiercer Character Headcanon Biography : Edgar +++ Unaware to the horrifying events that happened before and after the maiden voyage of the Snowpiercer, Edgar lived a rather hardscrabble childhood within the cramped confines of the Tail Section and always yearned to know what lies beyond the gates that the train guards constantly protect. Because of the complicated and terrible circumstances surrounding his background, Edgar was mainly raised through the combined efforts of Tanya and Curtis under the behest of the Tail Section's wise leader, Gilliam. As a child, he often asked questions about his parents and the only one who provided him with an answer was Gilliam, as Tanya and most especially Curtis, refused to entertain such queries. Even then, Gilliam only provided a curt response, saying that he did not know of his father and that his mother apparently succumbed to complications of hypothermia after braving the crowds and fiercely trying to protect Edgar from the cold. Edgar eventually stopped asking questions and learned to simply deal with the present rather than being fixated on a past that most everyone on the train wants to forget. While not officially considered as a genuine "train baby", he nevertheless grew up aboard the train and had to make do with his surroundings in order to experience some semblance of childhood and a sense of home with the motley crew of people he viewed as his surrogate family. He is good friends with Grey, given that they are roughly the same age and were born on Earth, but rarely do they spend time together because of Grey's responsibilities as Gilliam's bodyguard as they grew older. It was when Edgar turned 13 that he began to follow Curtis around and basically viewing him as a big brother and role model as opposed to being a parental figure like Tanya. Initially, Curtis rebuffed and discouraged Edgar from hanging around him too much but then eventually warmed up to him after the McGregor Riots and unofficially became his loyal lieutenant as he and Gilliam planned to stage the next revolution against the Front Section. Despite his hot temper and oftentimes abrasive personality, Edgar is well-liked by a lot of people in the Tail Section and would often entertain the train babies by making mocking impressions of the train guards and Minister Mason. During certain days where he could not finish his protein block, he would always give the leftovers to the Tail Section kids. This has led the Painter to create one of his best drawings in his collection: Edgar smiling with joy while being surrounded by rambunctious kids clamoring for his leftover protein block. Unbeknownst to Edgar, Curtis has secretly asked for this particular sketch and keeps it in his coat pocket to remind him that underneath the tough exterior Edgar projects to the rest of the world, there always lies a kind soul who would do anything for the well-being of others. +++ Many thanks to the guys over at twogoodarms, and also to fyeahsnowpiercer for regularly liking and reblogging my Snowpiercer posts.

003 Snowpiercer Character Headcanon Biography : Minister Mason +++ Prior to her appointment as the Prime Minister of the Snowpiercer, Mason served as the chief executive officer to the UK division of Wilford Industries. Having never had intimate relationships due to her dowdy appearance and haughty personality, Mason instead devoted her life to her career when she first held an entry-level job within Wilford Industries as a junior liaison officer. Her calculating nature and unflinching decisiveness contributed largely to her steady rise within the ranks of Wilford's transportation empire, but not without having her fair share of disgruntled enemies she has made along the way. It was during Mason's fourth promotion in the company—senior vice president of Global Logistics—that she narrowly escaped an attempt on her life. Several ex-employees whom Mason had unjustly fired had taken out a hit on her via rigging her car with explosives. The bomb, however, did not detonate in time and Mason was already past the entrance of her office building when her vehicle exploded. It was immediately after this harrowing event that she hired two Russian bodyguards with a military background to protect her from further assassination plots. Shortly after her promotion as CEO to the UK office of Wilford Industries, headlines had already been made around the world concerning CW-7 and how it would finally end global warming. While Mason was initially supportive of this development, Wilford called an emergency meeting with all his top executives and declared his belief that CW-7 would backfire on a catastrophic level. He then unveiled his finished plans of constructing his lifelong dream project: a massive luxury train powered by a perpetual-motion engine running on a globe-spanning track. Suffice to say, many of the Wilford Industries executives thought their leader to be mad and handed over their resignations in disgust. But Mason, seeing the greatest oppotunity this would give her, stuck by her eccentric employer and was justly rewarded by being appointed as Wilford's right-hand woman on board the Snowpiercer, symbolized by the ornate signet ring personally given to her by Wilford and bearing the symbol of his company. She is largely responsible for the initial hiring of the select few workers handpicked from around the world who would serve the different areas of the perpetually-moving train before its departure. In the years after the train's maiden voyage, Mason enjoyed her newfound position of power and did not particularly change in regards to how she treated her subordinates. It was under the leadership of Mason that the Front Section army successfully quelched the McGregor Riots, and it was on her suggestion to Wilford that they continually breed and use cockroaches as the main ingredient for the protein blocks being served to the Tail Section as a means of exclusively keeping the carefully controlled stocks of real meat and greenhouse produce for the Front Section passengers. And while she may have a soft spot for the children in the Classroom Section who sings praises to Wilford, the miracle train, and the Sacred Engine, Mason personally carries a certain disdain towards the older youths who regularly inhabit the Nightclub and Kronol Den Sections as she believes this kind of excessive indulgent behavior would lead to 'violent hooliganism' that would disrupt the peace of the train. Indeed, she has even sent such extremely wayward young adults of the Front Section fueled by too much partying and Kronol to the Prison Section without remorse. Always flanked by her two intimidating minions in their grey bespoke suits, Mason is both feared and respected by the Front Section while the passengers of the Tail regard her with complete hatred because of her lack of concern for humanity coupled with her extreme classist beliefs. Whenever she is off-duty, Mason largely spends her time listening to classical music, drinking tea with honey, and reading English literature in her private Executive Class guestroom, as well as attending regular fittings for the couture skirt suits and fur coats made for her by the clothes maker in the Custom Clothing Section. +++ Many thanks to the guys over at twogoodarms, and also to fyeahsnowpiercer for regularly liking and reblogging my Snowpiercer posts.

004 Snowpiercer Character Headcanon Biography : The Franco Brothers +++ Before they served as the loyal and unquestioning minions of Minister Mason and acting as her muscle aboard the Snowpiercer, the Franco Brothers once served a lengthy tenure within the Russian Armed Forces before having themselves honorably discharged and subsequently working as private mercenaries for hire for a secret private military company based in Berlin. With their origins in a village near the Ural Mountains of Siberia, the brothers grew up having a natural tolerance for sub-zero temperatures and trained themselves by doing outdoor chores during the winter wearing only minimal layers of fur. Despite the ten-year age gap between the elder and the younger Franco, the two brothers are extremely close and are never seen apart from each other. Rumours swirled around the settlers of their hometown that their relationship was beyond fraternal, but they could not speak it out loud because not only were the two brothers physically intimidating, their father was a former high-ranking officer of the Gulag and thus, the villagers dared not risk speaking such blasphemies lest they valued their lives. When the Francos were old enough to move out of their hometown, they did not hesitate in enlisting to the Russian Armed Forces. Passing the physical and mental requirements with ease, the two siblings trained hard and served Mother Russia well for many years. Between them, the brothers have racked up an impressive amount of enemy kills that earned huge respect from their testosterone-fueled peers. But even after years of active combat duty and incapcitating hundreds of men without remorse, the Franco Brothers craved a new challenge and thus requested to their commanding officers that they be honorably discharged from service. Upon their departure from the army, they immediately heard word from their underground connnections in the Russian mafia that there was a private military company with their headquarters in Berlin looking to hire mercenaries. Grabbing this opportunity, the brothers flew to Germany and jointly applied for the position and were immediately hired on the spot based on their impressive military background and amiable ties to key organized crime members in Russia. But just three months in to their newfound career path, they were soon called for a priority job by a VIP client. It was at this period that the Franco Brothers were hired as the official bodyguards to Ms. Mason of Wilford Industries. The brothers were very familiar with the company given that the transportation empire was responsible for significantly improving the Trans-Siberian Railway. Keen to serve their rather imperious mistress under the lure of a very high salary and other great opportunities, the brothers adjusted to their new job quickly and in turn, received preferential treatment from Mason as evidenced by her insistence that the two must always be impeccably dressed in bespoke suits and their rather rugged countenances expertly groomed to perfection. And when the catastrophe that was CW-7 began to destroy the planet, the brothers were granted a place with their power-hungry mistress in the Front Section of the Snowpiercer. Despite the end of the world, the brothers did not lose their jaded personalities and did not see their life on board the train as any different as their previous life on Earth. Ruthless and diabolical, they effortlessly exacted the cruel punishments towards the train's transgressors under the orders of Minister Mason. In their spare time, the elder and the younger Franco prefer to lounge in the Swimming Pool and Sauna Sections, make regular visits to the Custom Clothing Section to have the tailor outfit them with new sets of suits and accessories, or grace their presence in the Nightclub Section where they would have their pick of the nubile young women (and sometimes men) willing to give them pleasure in the privacy of their Executive Class guestroom. +++ Many thanks to the guys over at twogoodarms, and also to fyeahsnowpiercer for regularly liking and reblogging my Snowpiercer posts.
