oleksander valentyn kim ,, Life is a waterfall, we're one in the river, and one again after the fall. Life is a waterfall, we drink from the river, then we turn around and put up our walls. [App] Valentyn was born and raised in Denver, Colorado. His family summered at his grandmother's home in Ukraine. Valentyn was a gymnast in school, but he always wanted to be a clown. When he graduated he traveled to Ukraine to fulfill his ambition, and ever since then he's been touring the world non-stop. Where to find him: Valentyn enjoys resting in the garden in the courtyard. Sometimes he goes to the library, and he endeavors to find a more secluded place in the free area to practice and improve his act. Aside from that, he frequents common areas often. Affiliations: Resistance (distant) For the last few years Valentyn has been donating half of his income to a resistance group. Although he has worked with many gifted individuals in circus troupes, it felt like almost none of them cared about the whole gifted situation in the United States. He knew once he started, he'd never be able to go back, he didn't have a choice though. Valentyn is still dealing not only with the devastating grief of suddenly losing his mother, but he's also grieving his career and way of life. He had intended to go back to work immediately before he was taken to Infinity. This is how it worked out. But sometimes, every single timeline lines up perfectly- synchronicity. Even if shit goes left, he is exactly where he needs to be right now. At Infinity, Valentyn will seek to improve his act in his free time. He will also be consorting with resistance members, and planning their exit strategy... But, Valentyn is confident and maybe a little too playful for his own good. He's certainly not going to be all business all the time. (In fact, he is incapable of it.) Swimming through the void, we hear the word. We lose ourselves, but we find it all. Valentyn is the type of person that would drop everything if one of his friends needed him. Or even a particularly important seeming stranger. As much as there are people that will hate him for it, there are bound to be people that love Valentyn's playfulness. He's always fun to be around, even when he's dead serious. He's a natural entertainer, and he deeply enjoys it. Just never ask him to perform. That doesn't end well for anyone- trust me! Likewise, unless you are dead serious about it, don't ask him to teach you anything. Clowning is probably the only thing in the world that he takes seriously all the time- if he doesn't feel that you're 100% committed, it's going to be a no from him, dawg. He almost enjoys being around messy people- because he can never be 100% sure how a given scenario will play out. It's not uncommon to find him hanging around in common areas as a fly on the wall. Perhaps he even makes wagers, using his sense of sight. Valentyn is the type of person who really enjoys seeing what other people are up to. He's not afraid to come up to someone and ask! I feel like this guy can make friends easily! But I also feel like he's a bit of a mysterious person. It can sometimes be hard to understand why Valentyn does the things he does, but if he's telling you to do something and he actually likes you? I recommend you do it, it's probably for your own good. » Like Family » Almost Like Family » Attached at the Hip » Partners in Crime » Best Friends » Really Close Friends » Somewhat Close Friends » Pretty Good Friends » Growing Friendship » Friendship Crush » Party Friends » Online Friends » Childhood Friends » Enemies Turned Friends » First Name Basis » Acquaintances 'Cause we are the ones that want to play, always want to go, but you never want to stay. Oh, the myriad ways that people could dislike him! Let's start with the wordplay! Words are everything to Valentyn. He has a strong command of language, and always uses his words to his advantage. He is used to dealing with hecklers from his time as a sideshow performer. He also has a habit of heckling hecklers. His laugh is either incredibly endearing, or the most grating and obnoxious noise known to mankind. Valentyn's power of misdirection would be absolutely terrifying if he didn't solely use it for petty, infantile nonsense. It will likely really bother at least one person that he is so wickedly good at manipulating and duping people. The man is almost fucking supernaturally good at ruining things! Even worse, he'll cause a problem and then gleefully announce that he caused the damn problem! The one who stays on his toes can pull off more pranks, and Valentyn is always ready. Valentyn can be totally fine one moment, and then be spinning into almost cartoon madness over something simple the next. Sometimes he's just not easy to deal with. He can deflect most things with ease, and he can be incredibly petty and arbitrary. He can also be very hateful, and Valentyn does hold grudges. Valentyn is capable of being quite devious, if he made a true enemy, he probably wouldn't be satisfied just playing games with them. As he spends more time at Infinity, Valentyn's visions are going to become more and more frequent. He may call people names other than their own, out of the blue. Or have a sudden reaction to something that didn't actually happen. He tries to ignore the windows, but there are so many of them here that it's practically impossible. » Choke and Die » Hardcore Hatred » Mutual Hatred » Valentyn Hates You » You Hate Valentyn » Mutual Dislike » Valentyn Dislikes You » You Dislike Valentyn » Annoyance » One Sided Annoyance » Valentyn knows 30,000 ways to tease a person, and he plans to use them all on you before he dies » Valentyn Backstabbed You » You Backstabbed Valentyn » Non-Friendly Rivals » Friendly Rivals » Friends Turned Enemies » Love-Hate » By Association And we are the ones that want to choose, always want to play but you never want to lose. As an aspiring, but constantly traveling, performer- Valentyn has not had time for love. But he has always had a vague idea of settling down and starting a family when he gets older, like his father did. That doesn't mean he hasn't tried to date. But only being in town for a month or two makes it difficult. He's probably dated a colleague or two in the past too. Valentyn is a very all or nothing type person when it comes to love. He's either really interested in someone, or he has no interest at all. He doesn't go on dates just to 'be sure' or change his mind, and he doesn't date people he feels are on the fence about him either. He doesn't have the time or the energy to invest in someone who's more interested in being cool and ambivalent than enthusiastic. Valentyn is the type of man that dotes all over his girlfriend. He wouldn't be dating her if he didn't really like her! He likes to make his partner laugh, but he can be serious when he needs to be. Of course, given everything that's going on now- Valentyn isn't going to be actively looking for love. The stakes are high right now, and he's set on returning to performing if he makes it out of here alive. » In Love » Valentyn Is In Love With You » You're In Love With Valentyn » Current Relationship » Past Relationship - Good Terms » Past Relationship - Bad Terms » Past Relationship - Still Chemistry » Past Relationship - Want it Back » Mutual Crush » Valentyn Has a Crush on You » You Have a Crush on Valentyn » Friends With Benefits » Fuck Buddies » Fling » One Night Stand » Make-Out Buddies » Sexual Tension » Physical Attraction » Innocent Flirting » Shameless Flirting » On and Off Aerials, in the sky. When you lose small mind, you free your life. Aerials, so up high. When you free your eyes, eternal prize. When you're with Valentyn, whether friend or foe, you'll often think or even say things like: "It's like you know me." and you know what? He does. The best and worst you can possibly be. And when every single action is important- ultimately nothing is. Valentyn doesn't think or worry about the way other people see him. What is meant to happen will happen, what isn't will not. We are all deeply connected to each other. Valentyn can look into the past, present, and future of alternate dimensions. He does not like to be asked to look- but over time he's likely to grow sympathetic to those who just want to know what their loved ones are up to, or if they'll survive. Of course, what he sees is not always the truth, and what separates one window from another is sometimes as little as a single choice. His answers are usually vague, and often leave the one asking with more questions than answers. If you'd like to make things extra spicy feel free to also write about any relationships, or flashbacks, he might have with your character in an alternate dimension . Valentyn has unintentionally come to Infinity with a lot of contraband in his pocket dimension. It's mostly stuff related to his act, but he might have something useful to you. He will also be gathering things from other people (particularly, the actions of their powers) to store for himself. Just in case he needs them. He knows he will, but not what, when, or why. Although he's unlikely to be very involved in any groups except resistance groups, I feel that Valentyn will have an outsized impact at Infinity. At the very least, it's hard not to notice him! » Bad Influence » Good Influence » Mixed Feelings » Mutual Respect » Valentyn Respects You » You Respect Valentyn » Mutual Admiration » Valentyn Admires You » You Admire Valentyn » Valentyn Is Protective of You » You're Protective of Valentyn » Emotional Support » Stalker » Obsession » Fake Friend » Knew Each Other Outside » Anything Else/Other Anything striked out is unavailable for one reason or another.

[Phantom]

name; Deven Kim gender; Male age; 21 orientation; Asexual relationship(s); The second Deven finds out that Valentyn is not only a clown- but that he's a clown who does awesome stuff like breathe fire and throw knives- he is going to want to learn from him. Or recruit him... probably both! Of course, Valentyn doesn't teach anyone that isn't dead serious about it. you say; "Come on man- we could be cousins! You've gotta teach me!" name; Rudolph Smith gender; Agender age; 28 orientation; Unsure relationship(s); Valentyn is a curiosity to Rudolph. A man who can see the future, but not our own. (He can see the past too, and that will be very relevant to him later.) There are many questions he wants to ask the clown, but perhaps there are some doors (or windows!) that are best left unopened. you say; "Hm..." name; Samira Seo gender; Female age; 30 orientation; Homosexual relationship(s); Samira may or may not have been a part of the team that clownapped- rolled up on Valentyn- what about it? She has her eye on him. There's something... not right about him, even outside of the obvious. you say; "..." name; Dianna Jackson gender; Female age; 26 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Usually, Dianna thinks Valentyn's quite funny. There's something unnerving about him though- she just can't quite put her finger on what it is. you say; "Valentyn's is an entertainer! ...Sometimes he gets a little weird, though." name; Stephen Choi gender; Male age; 35 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Valentyn has contraband, and Stephen just tends to look the other way and walk on by whenever he sees it. Mostly, he speed walks by, because Valentyn has come awfully close to asking some questions he doesn't want to answer. you say; "It's like he knows things about me... But then he doesn't. Like they're half-right. But he does have some interesting things..." name; Helena Lutz gender; Intersex age; 24 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); Helena actually doesn't have an opinion on Valentyn the person. She does have an opinion on Valentyn the clown though. After reading thousands and thousands of pages of circle-jerk web content, there are definitely things he does that raise his eyebrows. you say; "If that motherfucker honks- I'm gone!" name; Alister Moon gender; Male age; 31 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Alister thinks there's something off about Valentyn- no- not that way. Anytime he looks at him, there's something different about his brain chemistry. His best guess is that it's related to his power- which means there's not much he can do about it but keep an eye on it. you say; "For once, I'm stumped. He hasn't reported any headaches, so..." name; Griffith Shin gender; Male (Questioning) age; 25 orientation; Queer relationship(s); Griffith has pressing questions about his identity. Valentyn has a very special insight, and once he finds out, he's going to come to him with all kinds of questions. But... Valentyn doesn't have any answers. Partially because he's withholding them, and partially because Griffith's questions generate even more questions. you say; "I know I'm being annoying, but I have to know." name; Vincent Shin gender; Male age; 25 orientation; Heterosexual relationship(s); Vincent isn't really used to being confused for Griffith anymore. He especially isn't used to it after correcting someone... About a dozen times. Sometimes he feels like Valentyn does it to him on purpose, even! you say; "What's his problem?" name; Zachariah Kwon gender; Male age; 30 orientation; Pansexual relationship(s); He and Valentyn essentially have the same goal- and they're both prepared to fight for it. They'll form an easy alliance, and Zack will take care to appreciate his quirks, and even give him some tips on how to better utilize his power for their ends. you say; "He's an interesting man, we'll work well together." name; Rivalen Moore gender; Male age; 27 orientation; Asexual relationship(s); Valentyn's grief is like honey to Rivalen. Sweet and delectable. He's really going to miss it when it's gone. you say; "I don't know why he keeps avoiding me." name; Pierce Gold gender; Male age; 22 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Valentyn frustrates Pierce. He doesn't know how he knows, but he knows. "It's fine- I'll keep it a secret~" Sure man! Totally going to trust the fucking clown on this one! Then again, he can't prove it, but Pierce doesn't like that he's even close to knowing. you say; "Damn clown..." name; Sunyoung Min gender; Male age; 27 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Valentyn's going to be dropping hints, and Sunyoung's going to be picking them up like nothing else. Given that he is, he can't be that involved, can he? Sounds like a good ally to me. When he finds out that he too, has been abducted he's going to feel even more motivated to work with Valentyn- but he'll also be jealous, since he at least has some of his things. you say; "Maybe we can help each other." name; Rayner June gender; Male age; 36 orientation; Bisexual relationship(s); Rayner can see a lot from his post at the gate. So, he may or may not have seen a certain clown (he wasn't dressed as a clown at the time, to be clear,) throwing knives. He probably should do something about that, but it's entertaining! you say; "If they do that at the circus, I regret never going."
