ITT: little things about your character that you've established in your head, but that you'd probably never get around to mentioning or portraying in ORP because they're just a little too mundane, and stuff that no one would ever think to ask in Canon or Nah.
for example:
- Ivan, despite having that Snitz-era teen wanderer pedigree, isn't actually an orphan and still, in fact, keeps in touch with his parents. It's just that it's more common for Stargazer Mages to strike out on their own to study the world for themselves at a younger age. They know magic and shit, so they're fine. Ivan only wandered out for short bursts of time before heading back to his family to relax and talk about his findings.
-Dimitri's telepathic spirit voice was the voice he had when he died, at the age of 13, and continued to be his telepathic voice up until he got his new body. (Upon hearing his new voice, he was a bit startled by how deep it suddenly was compared to his crackly pubescent telepathic voice he had constructed from his memories of being alive.)
have at it

The only thing I can think of right now is that Yoshimitsu is left-handed. For anyone trying to draw him writing or something, I guess?

Zebedee's been established as ambidextrous, with slight favor to his left.
Natalie's parents are both teachers. IIRC, her father teaches tech in a highschool, and her mother's an anthropology professor for a college. I still debate with myself if they're stateside or in the Archipelago.
Thyra had never left the island of Hoenn (well, whatever we call it these days) before her parents passed away. Whether this was because they were just homebodies, or because they were afraid of running into the Order of the Mamba is a judgment call for the reader to make.
Miko was named for the villain in a cancelled Godzilla script. In the rip days of the site, all his summons were based on cancelled Godzilla foes.
Almudena can't actually do "distant punches". Her telekinetic blasts are quite short range (probably 5-10 feet beyond the end of her fist, tops), which is why she tends to fling things at her opponent. (Donuts, desks, ice columns, etc.)
Emily's middle name is Leckermaul. It's uncertain if she actually had that middle name from birth, picked it up as a child, or declared it for herself.
Lacy, canonically now, is primarily Jewish genetically. Which implies an even more troubling past about the project to make her, but I love the irony that when the Nazis tried to engineer their Ubermensch supersoldier pilot, they got a chubby little Jewish girl who hates taking orders and does everything she can to save every possible life.
Nopcsa is a total coffee addict (this one's been implied on camera a few times). I have a sneaking suspicion he never drinks alcohol (or at least, only for business occasions) but likely is near constantly sipping coffee when in the office.
Blaise has a ridiculously intense morning routine. We're talking reads 3-5 pages of dictionary, runs a mile or two, does some really intense yoga/stretches core strength workouts, and probably makes a point of reading any of the latest scientific news. She likely gets up at 5 AM and does her morning routine all the way til 7 AM.

Zagaroth didn't randomly chose Flint.

Valon's birthday is May 20th and his middle name is Dorai.

This was brought up last night in a 2 AM Skype call with Choobs but the reason Halley has such an obvious, cheesy name is because remember when I mentioned she roller skates from one place to another? 'Halley Cometta' was originally envisioned as a roller derby name, since she played roller derby back in her day. (Originally it was also spelled without the last A, as 'Halley Comett'.) dude that's like three bits of trivia for the price of one, lucky you

MORE AMUSING 2 AM TRIVIA: it's recently come to my attention that the name Hector comes from the Ancient Greek word "héktōr" which means "holding fast"; you may also recognize the phrase "hold fast" as a popular sailor knuckle tattoo for sailors who worked as deckhands. don't you just love it when things work out retroactively like that
