Appearance Blint is 5'10" with snow white hair and crimson eyes. He has lightly tanned skin and well toned muscles beneath it. Along with skin and muscle he also has metal and wires. His right arm is a high tech prosthesis and some of his ribs where replaced with metal.
He usually wears long sleeve shirts and gloves to hide his mechanical arm when he's out in public or talking to costumers. When he's working it's a completely different story. Not only does he have it uncovered but rarely is it used as a hand. He's always working on something so one minute his fingers will meld together and become a wrench and the next he'll be unscrewing something with his finger tips.
Personality:
Despite what's happened in his life Blint is a very laid back guy that loves his job. He's easy to talk to and has a way of making those around him feel at ease. Despite this though he only has a few friends. Which he is very protective of and would do just about anything for. He's also close to his brother. Ever since his mother died his father has been distant and slowly becoming a drunk. So he's taken care of his little brother, making sure he was doing good in school and that he could take care of himself.
Blint loves working with machines so he's always tinkering with something or thinking of ways to improve the things around him. When he's thinking about a project you'll see him take some spare parts out of his pockets and start to build small, random objects out of them.
He was taught martial arts but he still doesn't like to fight. He'll always try to talk his way out of a situation before he's willing to fight. That changes though when it comes to those he cares about. He's hard to anger but if somebody is threatening one of them then he wont hesitate to put a bullet in them.
History: Blint was born into Cocoon to two loving parents. His father, Joseph, and his mother, Adelita. His father was a gunsmith and his mother a nurse. Growing up he didn't have everything but he did get stuff. Even at a young age he liked mechanical things. While the other kids where stacking letter blocks, Blint was playing with axles and gears.
In school he did well when he paid attention. The only problem was getting him to pay attention. About halfway through first grade his parents gave him the news that he was going to get a little brother. He wasn't sure how he felt about it but when the baby finally came he decided that he wouldn't mind living with it.
After a few years past Blint started helping his father at his shop. By now it had expanded from a simple gun shop to a full mech shop. They fixed everything from guns to airship parts. Every once in a while they would have to make a trip because what they had to fix was either to big to move or the owned was a bit didn't want to risk anything else happening to it. When he wasn't at school or the shop he was either hanging out with friends or at martial art practice. The family lived a normal life for years, but as with all good things it had to end.
A few years ago there was an accident at the shop. Adelita was dropping off lunch and as they were sitting there discussing that nights plans something happened. A fire started in the back and because of all the fuel and other flammable things scattered about the shop it spread rapidly. In the middle of the chaos and rush to get out a cable holding an engine block snapped and fell on Blint. His arm was crushed along with half of his torso. He passed out and the next thing he knew he was waking up in the hospital. He was a bit freaked out when he noticed that he had no arm.
His father was able to get out with only a few burns but his mother wasn't so lucky. She was able to get out of the shop but died in the hospital from lung damage and other complications. Blint never found out the full story. He was able to get a prosthesis but recovering took a long time and he missed his last year of school. He wanted to go back and finish, but between the affairs at home and at the shop he wasn't able to.
Blint was still able to work at the shop but at a much slower pace. It was hard to piece together an engine with only a hand and a half. They were able to afford a high end prosthesis so after months of frustration he got around to designing and building his own. It was a little more complicated then he thought but after a few trail runs he had his first version up and running.
Now three versions and three years later Blint has taken over his alcoholic father's shop and his little brother has become quite a chef. He still loves what he does but now he is starting to feel like he is meant to do something more. The only problem with him leaving is that he has no idea where he would be going, or how his brother would handle it. He put on a good face but he knew James still had some problems with their mothers death. So he put the thoughts of leaving in the back of his mind.
Abilities:
Accelerator: This ability allows Blint to move faster then the human body can allow. It increases both his reaction time and his movement speed. With each post he moves faster but it also causes more damage to his body.
First post double his speed and no damage is done, second post boosts his speed to 4x muscles are starting to hurt, third post 6x his normal speed and muscles are starting to pull, fourth post 8x his normal speed and muscles are starting to rip apart, fifth post is 10x his normal speed and his skin is starting to split apart. He doesn't feel the damage though until he calms down. (Can only use once per thread)
Ricochet Shot: Blint bounces the bullet or bullets off of nearby surfaces so they ricochet and hit the target at impossible angles.

Role Play Sample:
Blint opened his eyes from the darkness of sleep to a steady buzzing sound. He yawned and shut the alarm off, finding the button through habit. He got up and took a quick shower then ran a quick diagnostic on his arm. As he waited for the results Blint made himself a cup of coffee and ate some eggs. A quite beep let him know that the scan was complete and nothing was wrong. He unhooked his arm from the computer then attached it to his stump of an arm. He moved it this way and that making sure all the joints worked and everything ran smoothly. Once he was happy Blint through a shirt on then went down stairs to open the shop.
He went to his work desk and looked at what he had to do today. Most of it was for an airship called Arcturus. Whoever was docking it screwed up and ended up bashing the side against the pier. It wouldn't have done to much damage but the side thrusts didn't shut off for a good twenty seconds. Today was going to be shorter then usual cause there were parent teacher conferences later and their father was to bothered to go to them. So he decided to get the thrusters done then call it quits.
He walked over to a work table and pushed a call button. A few seconds later the table flipped over and a dented mess of metal came up. Blint sighed as he looked over the damaged. He hoped most of the damaged was just on the shell and there wasn't to much done to the inner workings. His metal fingers folded out then reformed into the needed tool and he started taking it apart. About thirty minutes later of disassembling and sorting he had the thruster taken apart into all it's components.
Anything he saw that was beyond saving he tossed right away. Anything that just needed minor adjustments he quickly fixed then set aside. For the rest he quickly went around the shop and gathered the parts he needed. When he returned to the table he lets his hands work while his minded slowly turned to auto-pilot. He still wasn't what exactly happened but when ever he just let his instincts run he knew exactly what needed to be done and how to do it. In just few a hours he had the entire thing reassembled and in working order. Proud of himself Blint let the now working thruster slide back into the table and he went upstairs to get ready for the conference.
(I'm going to end it here cause I could go on for a long, long time with this and I'm sure nobody wants to get stuck reading that XD.)
