Short Bio
Flint is a very outgoing teenager who has pyromania, and constantly sets things on fire. He is very talkative, likes to make friends, and is a bit of a troublemaker. He is pretty smart, although the fact that he keeps burning all his tests and assignments before he hands them in accounts to him failing all his classes. Heās also a huge memelord who swears a lot.
He is a happy-go-lucky sort of person, and is very musically inclined. He can play numerous instruments exceptionally well, and is a talented singer. He also likes to write poems and stories in his spare time, whenever he can use a computer to write things since he doesnāt trust himself with paper.
He has a semi-popular youtube channel where he makes covers of pop songs, as well as writes a few of his own original songs. His youtube channel is where he got the nickname āFlintā in the first place.
As a ghost, he tends to float around and fly a lot. Heās not very secretive of the fact that heās dead, unlike Devon, and he tends to float upside down a lot. He also likes to freak people out sometimes if they donāt know heās a ghost, by sticking his hand right into a fire and pulling it out completely fine.
Whenever he is bored or stressed, he tends to get a strong urge to light something on fire. It brings him relief when he does it, but he feels bad and really guilty if he shouldnāt have done that, especially if it puts someone in danger. If for some reason he canāt set something on fire at the moment, he tends to tap and drum his fingers on whatever surface is available to try and distract himself from his compulsion.

About the Opposite Personality verse (specific to Flintās universe)
The opposite personality verse is different from the opposite potion verse that is described in the Verses page. Vinnie (Vincent) and Devon (Flint) act like how they are described in the opposite potion verse, but this is all set in an alternate universe where everyone was born with the opposite personalities of what they had in their ānormalā universe. Kind of like the Italian Empire verse with the APH Italy bros, except itās with e v e r y o n e in that world.
This means that Vinnie and Devonās OP selves are the original personalities there. So if they had the opposite potion in that universe, they would act like they normally do in the normal universe, if that makes sense.
**Although, weird shit happened with me and my S/Oās roleplay and apparently there is a dimensional rift in Vinnieās school so now Flint and Vincent exist in the same world as Devon and Vinnie and they canonly know each other nowā?

Full Bio
Before Flint died, he had a pretty happy life, just like Devon. He took an early love for music, constantly listening to music, or singing, or making his own songs on the violin. However, he also had a slight problem with fire as a child, accidentally burning down things a lot and occasionally putting himself and other people in danger because of his fascination with fire. He began developing his interest with fire at an early age, learning how to use matches and lighters once he could get his hands on them.
This problem became more evident as he grew older; unable to help it that staring at fires and setting fires calmed him in some way whenever he was stressed or bored, and his pyromania developed more from his lack of control and stress he felt being a teenager who was openly gay in his time period, and how he had a reputation for getting in trouble due to the fires that had gotten out of control because of him. He has better control with his fires after a couple of years of setting fires, though.
Other than his problems with fire, Flint was a pretty happy kid growing up. He has a good sense of humour, snorts when he laughs really hard, and likes to make funny faces when getting his picture taken just like Devon. However, he never stopped doing that and still makes funny pictures in modern days whenever he can too. He also has quite a troublemaking streak as well, and loves to prank people. He never wants to go too far with his pranks and immediately feels bad if he ever accidentally hurts someone. But a thing thatās unlike Devon, he actually has a good relationship with his cousins, and doesnāt live at the local garbage dump.
When he died and realized he was dead, he reacted in a way that most probably would expect if they knew Flint. He seemed pretty excited and basically said āFuck yeah, I can touch fire without getting burnt now!!ā Unlike Devon, he doesnāt bother keeping the fact that heās a ghost secret. He tends to float and fly almost anywhere, whenever he can, and has a habit of floating upside down and backwards whenever he walks with and is talking to people. He also likes to float around his room while playing his guitar, and phases through walls a lot instead of using doors. Since he can go intangible, he also likes to stick his hand in fires and doesnāt burn because he knows fire canāt hurt him when heās not scared, and heās never really scared of fire itself. Just scared of someone getting hurt because of a fire he started.
Today, he is able to handle fire a little better now. Although, he was the reason why his school had the most fires ever and has to spend a lot for damage repair and high quality fire alarms. He is able to tell what kind of gas is burning from the smell of it, like if itās butane or propane or anything like that. He can also tell what elements are burning due to the colour of the flame. He really likes when his Chemistry class teaches that part of the course, even if he already knows all of it. Heās also allowed to be the one to demonstrate the flame colours, since getting to do that helps with his urges. Whenever he canāt satisfy the need to set fires, he usually starts fidgeting, and tapping and drumming his fingers on whatever surface is available, which is usually a warning sign that he has to set something on fire. Heāll usually start doing that whenever he is stressed or bored.
Like Devon, his handwriting is really neat and flowery, although he tends not to use paper whenever possible, since he usually ends up burning the paper. He prefers to do everything electronically because of this. He is also gifted with a good singing voice, just like Devon, and he tends to sing pop music although he sounds better singing āemoā or āpunkā type of songs. He also finds it easier to play those kinds of songs with his guitar rather than pop songs, even though he loves pop music and feels indifferent about āemoā and āpunkā. He knows how to play music by ear as well as read sheet music.
He usually is seen with a large red and orange sweater that he wears every day. In his pockets, he keeps a lighter and a box of matches in case his lighter runs out of lighter fluid. When setting fires, he usually prefers using a lighter. Although he tends to be very masculine, he is also apparently the most feminine out of Vinnie, Devon, and Vincent, seeing as he has no problem with letting people put makeup on him or giving him more āfeminineā clothes to wear like dresses. The other three would utterly hate/be very uncomfortable with that, but Flint wouldnāt really care and would probably rock the outfit anyway since heās pretty confident with himself and doesnāt really care what other people think of him. He still prefers being masculine more though, since heās much more comfortable with that.
He also has a fairly popular youtube channel where he posts covers of pop songs, original songs, songs that were popular in past decades, covers of songs from musicals, covers of vocaloid songs, and occasionally dedicates other songs that he knows Eros, his boyfriend, likes. He makes all of his instrumentals himself, and recorded his videos with a regular digital camera until he saved enough money to buy a better camera as well as a microphone. Because of him having about a century of building up his musical skill, his instrumentals are usually pretty āon pointā and sound like the actual song, but also with his own flair, with him using a variety of different instruments. For anything he canāt recreate with the instruments he has, he turns to Vincent for help with electronic music. He records himself singing after the instrumental is complete.
He has a ukulele, an acoustic, bass, and electric guitar, as well as an amp. Of course, he also has a violin since he was taught how to play it. But for the drums, he uses the ones in the schoolās band room. For instruments like the flute, trumpet, and saxophone, he just asks his band friends if he can borrow their instrument, and asks those friends if they can teach him how to play it. He also has at least a couple friends who have a keyboard or piano at home, and was also taught which keys are which notes so he knows how to play it, and asks if he can use it for one of his videos if he needs to use it.
His youtube channel also makes him the āVinnieā of that world, in a way, since Vinnie is popular for being a DJ and Flint is popular for being a musician on youtube. It is also where he got the nickname āFlintā from, since he wanted a cool sounding username back when the internet was fairly new. Seeing that most people didnāt use their actual name, he wanted to do it too and came up with āflintrocks94ā, because he was born in the year 1894, and āflint rocksā is sort of a pun. Since flint is a rock that makes fire with steel, ārockā means the same thing as ācoolā, and he is āFlintā and he ārocksā even though theyāre mostly pop songs and not exactly rock. People began to call him Flint on youtube because of his username, and he liked it. He still responds mostly to Devon, since only people online call him Flint.
He met Vincent when they first went to school together when the school first opened. They both came from England, and Flint immediately saw him as a friend. It didnāt take long for them to find out they were both dead, since even then, Flint didnāt bother to hide his ghost abilities. So of course, once Vincent found that out, he couldnāt help himself from telling Flint that he was also a ghost. Other than that, Vincent was distant to him and hadnāt warmed up to Flint until many years later, even though Flint thought of them as really close friends. Today, he still thinks of Vincent as one of his best friends. Flint constantly pops up in random places and phases through the walls to where ever Vincent is, sometimes randomly visiting Vincent in the middle of the night, and likes to bug him a lot and talk to him.
Flint is also pretty good friends with his teachers, like Vinnie is. He is also friends with a lot of police officers, since he gets arrested a lot and has to spend lots of time at the police station. Heās not above stealing, since he sometimes floats in invisible and steals lighters from convenience stores when he runs low and sometimes gets caught and arrested, and also obviously gets arrested for setting fires. Whenever heās not getting arrested, heās usually found in the schoolās music room (either with the band/choir kids or recording himself on the drum set for one of his youtube videos since he doesnāt have a drum kit at home. Sometimes in the middle of the night because he floats in when everyone else is gone and they canāt really stop him), bugging Vincent, or alone in abandoned areas to set fires without hurting anyone around him. He can also be found in the school theatre with the drama kids, or with the dance club kids as well, since heās in those groups too.
In school, heās usually seen as one of the āpopularā kids because heās very friendly and outgoing, and loves to talk to everyone. This is only recently, however, because many years ago he was seen as āthe weird kidā and was constantly picked on and bullied for being openly gay, speaking his mind, being a āband geekā, and for setting everything on fire. As a result, he usually just hung out with the other weird kids, the outcasts, and loners. Now that times are different, heās started to become more popular with the other students. Although instead of being with the āpopular crowdā, whenever he gets the chance to, he usually talks to all the shy kids, the weird kids, and kids who get bullied to be friends with them, and introduce them to all his nice friends so they can have a lot of nice people who like them for who they are.
He usually freaks people out at first, due to the fact that heās a ghost and spontaneously sets fire to anything and everything. But after being around him for a bit, people usually get used to it and enjoy his company and his humour. Despite his tendency to get into trouble, heās a pretty nice kid and helps anyone if they need it. He doesnāt like upsetting or hurting anyone, so if he does, he usually tries his hardest to make it up to them.
Like Devon, he also had a mortal first love who was also his first kiss. Because Flint is the opposite personality version of Devon, he fell in love with the opposite personality version of Martin. However, unlike Devon and Martinās relationship, Flint and his Martin started secretly dating each other after finding out they both were in love with each other. More information on Martin can be found [here].
