Oh yeah, I forgot about those questions. Well, since they are still sorta fresh in my mind, might as well ask them now. So, the main ones are just how does Midnight Squad make Lien, can we interact with other PCs without fighting them, and what the heck is Midnight Squad supposed to do while everyone is at school? You can answer them at your convenience. @Lugubrious
With that said, a loud banging sound rebounded through the entire warehouse as someone kicked open the door to the warehouse. The harsh sound echoed through the spacious room, and silence soon loomed over the trio of tired soldiers yet again.
Footsteps soon echoed through the building, they were light and slow, but somehow it could be heard quite distinctly. Soon, the footsteps started to become more distinct to the ones with excellent hearing, the person filling the shoes was getting closer and closer. Who is this new recruit? How powerful are they? Is the new recruit an adorable girl? All were equally important questions, and soon, all would be answered within the next few seconds.
After several suspenseful seconds, all three would notice that the stranger was finally in view, well, at least his shoe. With another large step, the entire body was visible. And... every expectation around him was quickly knocked down. He was short compared to his peers, Violet and Akashi were both around or above six feet tall, and Amber was most likely around his height of 5'11 (5'9 while slouching). Valin also looked like he had just gotten out of bed, one side of his hair was flattened down while the other side was perked up! It actually looked like he used a ton of hair gel to get his hair looking like that. His clothes looked displeasing to the eye as well, it looked like he was working for the mafia, a very poor mafia. Everything he was wearing was wrinkled or worn without wash, was he blind? An annoyed look on his face, he pulled out his cigarette case, opening it with one hand and pulling out one with his mouth. Valin's eyes darted across the three people before lighting the cigarette.
The grimy boy pulled the haphazard stick from his mouth, and when it looked like he was going to blow the smoke, he threw burning cigarette into his mouth, and crunched into it. His eyes continued to look around, his posture still looking really relaxed, and Valin continued to chew on the cigarette. With a few more chews, he swallowed the entire stick and gave a sly smirk at the trio, "Already fighting without me?" Valin squatted onto the floor, trying to level himself face to face with the people on the floor and still had that irritating looking smile. "How are you guys and gals doing?"
Weapon:Slot, his completely ordinary revolver. A brand of revolver that could quite easily be constructed and sold right off the counter in any shop that could legally sell guns. Yep, just his not out of the ordinary gun that he carries around, nothing to really see here.
So, with that out of the way, we can get to the fun stuff! Now, there are two reasons why the gun is called slot. First, he calls his bullets coins, and pretends the 'coins' are going into the 'slot'. He likes to imagine things. Second, the orderly and simplistic design of his weapon makes it quite easy to add any attachments into his gun, thus, making it so that his gun has tons of slots for add-ons! He came up with that name all by himself. There are several variants of his weapon, all attachments are kept within his light weight pack with other things crammed inside.
The base of Valin's arsenal, carrying basic iron sights and nothing else.
If Stealth is the name, this is his main. Built to cut down on noise, reduce recoil, and no longer emit muzzle flash. No one will know what hit them if they are the target.
Sometimes, the best kill is from afar. The extended barrel allows the bullet to travel in controlled manner than before, which increases the accuracy of the gun.
Two items with the price of one! The stock combines both the reliable accuracy of the extended barrel and reduces recoil! Very handy when used in medium range, but less so in close combat.
Want to be more stealthy with a handgun? Say no more with these modification! The Silencer combined with the Stock allows for perfect accuracy and minimum recoil with the silent kill looming over the target.
Have you ever wished to be a sniper, but only have a cruddy revolver? Well... Look at these things! The combination of these add-ons make for the perfect sniper/revolver. Just one point, aim, and click from far away and the target is dead!
Want to go super commando black-ops? These are your modifications, just make sure that you have the time to put all these things on as the amount of add-ons are quite large. And if you run out of coins, use it as a club!
Whew, with so many combinations to choose from, how do you make the probability tree even larger? Why, use different coins of course! These coins will just make things more hectic also combined with dust! Just what is this boy thinking? Why does he have so many choices to choose from? Why do I keep talking when I should be explaining the types of coins and dusts? Find out, in the next hider.

Wow! That is a lot of stuff to handle! Amrite!? Well, nothing that Valin can't handle. He likes being random, or make people think he is random. Either way, with all that amount of variations for guns and bullets. Can't wait to see it in action.
Specialty: Fighting style? Well, like many teenagers and young adults inside of the fine establishment, he uses a gun! Revolvers are mainly preferred to be used in short to medium distances. However, with the right set of add-ons can really change the fighting style of the boy and the field around him. So, he prefers to be close to the action, but not too close to be stabbed or slashed at from close combat range. He isn't the best at agility and stamina, but he could hold on his own if necessary. Just not for too long.
Semblance:Luck - Just as the name says, his semblance gives him the ability to get lucky. Now, you might be thinking, can't he use that for any type of situation? From getting the right answer on a multiple choice test to getting a girlfriend? Nah, it takes a immense amount of focus and strain to activate his semblance. Valin can maybe use it three or four times for reloading, and any further would be very dangerous for his health. So, he only uses it in life threatening situations.
Personality: Valin loves the chaotic life style that he has chosen. Disorder flows through his veins and confusion is the type of aura that he usually gives off to others. He is the type of person that likes to cause trouble for others, be they friend or foe, all are the same to him. So, with that kind of attitude towards people, he doesn't really make friends very often, and many dislike him for his reckless and negative attitude. However, he ignores this all while giving the same crooked smile and chittering chuckles.
So, the enigma of Valin can't be broken, very surprising. Or maybe, people haven't tried hard enough to break through that hard shell of his. There could be something under the vast amount of layers of cynicism, irritation, and confusion. Who knows? He might actually just be crazy, you figure it out.
Color:Ultramarine
Emblem: Placed upon the back of his clothes is the image of a skull with a cross going through the left eye socket.
Appearance:
Averaging around the height of 5'11, a decent height among growing boys, Valin is usually 5'9 when slouching and most likely very bad posturing for his back. Furthermore, his physique reaches an average of not too skinny or pudgy, he is muscular under his clothes, but most students at Beacon have to be for fighting. However, his handsome body is completely messed up by his attire and grooming which makes him look undesirable. Valin's hair is completely messed up most of the time, it looks like he woke up straight from bed and didn't do anything with it at all. Clothes are usually wrinkled and randomly thrown on, barley resembling any type of fashion. The only things that remains consistent with his appearance is the eye patch covering his left eye, his light pack, and his ammo belt that hangs loosely from his hips.
And three people participated in it, including a person who's now gone and not including you. I specifically acknowledged that there was already a contest like it, but this one is different. It deals somewhat more with a character's personality and a little less on the gameplay.
<Snipped quote by Invisible Man>
It seemed fine to me. Your character seemed a fit for joining the antagonist team, right?
Yeah, I think I'd be fine in joining Midnight Squad, however, it seems like most of the team members haven't really been online very much. Akashi Mayhiro hasn't posted in the RP for 25 days and Trevor1001 in 28 days. Really, Abillioncats is the only one that has been able to stay on the RP, but he/she has no teammates for Violet to work with! So, I'm not sure if they took a break or something else, but I'm still up for Valin joining. However, can someone tell me a quick summary on Midnight Squad? Are they actually apart of the school? Are they trying to kill any specific team? Do they work for some big bad corporation or criminal organization? Stuff like that.
Eve was excited to move once again, they just needed to move away from the spot of bad emotion to further disconnect the spirit living inside of Nero's pocket. The Necromancer wondered if there was any need to tell Nero about her experience with the antagonizing spirit, but maybe later, everyone just needed to relax. And what do you know? Eve is already pretty relaxed at the moment, feeling actually quite blissful. As she moved along with the group, she glanced towards Ayame clinging onto Nero's arm, she wondered if she would be fine after that little fiasco with the twins. Her gaze then switched over to the Genie, light scars still covering his face. Eve still felt uneasy about his little incident, his vast amount of anger was one of the big contributors to the awakening of the beast, but it wasn't exactly his fault. She continued to look at him before her eyes looked ahead of her path, sighing lightly.
It didn't take too long before the trio found somewhere to relax from the bright sun. And it seemed to be an old antique shop that was filled with a variety of objects. Interesting choice, but Nero always had pretty great ideas, so she entered as Nero guided the little girl into the musty shop.
The Necromancer soon took a look around the store with several quick glances at each corner, and the store seemed like a pretty nice place to idly browse. With another panoramic view, she saw a variety of strange looking items that easily filled the shelves and interesting looking people dotted across the shop. Eve looked over towards Ayame and Nero to see their reactions, but it seemed that one of them already had their sights set on a particular person. She glanced over towards the card dealing woman and soon shook her head at the knowledge of playing Poker, actually, did she ever play with cards? I don't think she did... Weird. So, with Nero moving towards one person, it was only the two girls awkwardly standing around doing nothing. Eve moved her mouth around, trying to figure out what to do to pass the time, and her sights soon paused on the girl browsing through various antiques. The Necromancer tilted her head slightly to the right, scanning her attire, she looked pretty fancy... Maybe the fancy girl had something that could help her speak? Well, she was the only one that was actually searching the store and maybe she found something that could help her out. It was soon decided that mute girl would speak with the fancy girl.
Eve patted Ayame on the head and gave her a bright smile before heading towards the fancy person. Well, it had been awhile since she had talked to anyone besides the people at Dragon Fang, but she had picked some stuff up from Nero on how to kind of subtly introduce yourself in a non weird manner. So, Eve stopped near the browsing girl before looking at some of the stuff lining the shelf, she picked up a few and put them back in place, and slowly getting closer and closer. The Necromancer really had no idea what most of the antiques that she was looking at, but it seemed that her slow crawl finally reached towards fancy girl. It was time to enact phase two of her plan.
Eve lightly bumped into the shoulder of the fancy girl, and it was time to interact with another human! Nero would be proud of her from the way she learned how to interact with people. She remembered that decaying flesh was her perfume and grooming was a thing of the past back in the day, she wonders how she lived again for so long? The Necromancer soon shook the thought from her head, it was time to somehow speak to someone without speaking... She didn't really plan this out very far. So, Eve just mouthed out the word 'So sorry' without having to say it, wondered if fancy girl knew to read lips well.
So, while I'm working on one post, I might as well ask if I need to change anything or even have any room for me? I saw the debate of my character and it seemed that one of the Co-GM's had a disagreement with him. So, any suggestions? Also, sorry for causing a debate, didn't mean for that to happen.
