level headed

gender: male

nickname: big dumb pizza face (or just Pizza face)

brief history:
---------------
Neko was born into a pretty well off family that more the most
part accepted him for who he was. but when ever he was told to
go make friends, he would always scoff at the idea, saying he
was better off on his own. As he sat looking out the window
at the other kids playing and pondered the real reason he
wanted to be himself; they all seemed to think differently
than him. he lived his social life by a quote he came up with
"three idiots don't equal a genius, it's just triple the stupidity"
When he got older, his parents had high expectations for him,
one's that he thought where unrealistic and didn't suit him.
Neko was not sure what he wanted to do as he was interested
in so many different things. Eventually his parents would force
him to choose a path in life, yet he never really wanted to go
with there suggestions. he always saw how his peers
would be shaped into fitting a mold and be rewarded for it, and
this is what he was afraid of. The fear that he would spend the rest
of his life living to please someone else and never being able to
define himself would always keep him up at night. He had an Idea
of what he wanted to do but his parents wouldn't give him room
to bring the Idea to light. Than one night just before dinner he over
heard his parents talking about forcing him out of the house and
how they where gonna break the news to him at the dinner table.
upon hearing this, Neko went to his room; packed a few things
and left out the window. rather than let his parents kick him out,
he would leave on his own, even if he was running away. After some
time living on the streets, he made a few friends that helped him along
the way, but these people where usually up to no good. Neko constantly
found himself getting involved with illicit activity just to survive. such
activities would catch up with him eventually however as he would
soon be sent to prison for several years. when he was eventually
released, he had accepted that is life would surmount to nothing more
than a constant cycle of recidivism and looking for food scraps. he turned
back to the life he had become accustomed to not long after. but this
time he meet someone new; someone by the name of Mona. The two
make a connection quickly as they shared there life stories and passions.
Mona was very talented with the Electric guitar and had dreams of starting
her own metal band.Mona played at several bars and clubs as a way of
making some extra money, Neko decided to help along as a vocalist at her
shows. They started by doing covers of popular songs but as death metal.
Neko discovered he had a knack for the type of vocals required for the genre
Mona was amused by how some where put off by there performances
and back stage she would tell Neko how hysterical she found it while breaking
into that sweet laughter he found adorable. when the two made eye contact
then, they know that they where meant for each other. The two decided on
the decided of the name "Valhalla firing squad" out of Mona's sense of humor
for shock factor, Still Neko felt that she settled on the name for another reason.
The concept of wearing masks was Neko's idea, noting how people act as there
true self when there identity is hidden, Mona joked that they would be
far less intimidating without them.

she saw this as the ultimate rebellion. in the basement that night she set
up one of the mentioned rituals to summon the queen of darkness. when
it proved successful Manilicipa stood there as a tall dark figure. she inquired mona
to not show fear, when Mona begain to cry Manilicipa came close and wiped
the tears from her eyes and spoke in a soothing tone "you made the right

her red eyes shined threw the darkness. she fell asleep in the arms of Manilicipa's

to use this as a means of making money, she would play small gigs at bars,
night clubs and sometimes out on the streets. in her time in the show business
she would meet Neko who would preform with her as a singer. because of her
life experience, she wanted to start a metal band as a means of unlashing
built up anguish and Neko was fully on board with her idea. one night after
performing covers of pop songs as death metal.they decided to make this
dream a reality and the two fell in love. Mona keeps a secret from Neko
however, she doesn't want to tell him that her soul has belonged to
Manilicipa ever since the night of that ritual, she dose this cause she

someone to confort her on sleepless nights.Amethyst had one thing that she
held on to; a music box given to her by her mother, it reminded her of the
good old ways when there lives where in order and now a music box can be
faintly heard in the band's songs at times as sort of an inside symbolism.
Amethyst learned to play drums early on, what stared as hitting pots
with kitchen utensils soon grew to an obsession. she got a drum set when Mona
started making enough money to afford nicer things. it took sometime get
the hang of the motions but eventually she got good enough to play with
mona and niko at shows. with the band now at 3 members, they where
able to play larger shows and slowly started to gain some attention.

role: percussionist

age: 32

personality: hardheaded, tries to be self controlled,rational,
eloquent,tough

gender: male

nickname: thumper

brief history:
---------------

after losing his job as a music teacher, due to his temper,Griltson decided to
pursue something more with his talent. he saw a flyer in the back of a music
shop for band that was looking for more members."Vallhala firing squad:
heavy metal band looking for percussionist role" the mark of darkness in the logo
made him a little unsure but he knew it was to be expected with this kind of genre,
besides, he was up for anything at this point. he gave them a call, and a friendly
voice answered, It was Mona. she could barely contain her excitement, someone
actually wanted to join them. they agreed to meet the next day at a restaurant.
That night Griltson had a strange dream,he was tied to a chair in a dark room with
a light hanging above him. masked men came out of the darkness, one of them
holding a branding iron. the iron was pressed against is right hand, leaving a mark;
it was the mark of darkness. A woke in sleep paralysis, he knew better than to open
his eyes, lest he see something terrifying but out of curiosity he did anyway. In
the room with him was a tall black figure with red glowing eyes, and a dark halo.
it seemed to look, into his very soul. it then lowly walked out of the room with
heavy footsteps, seemingly satisfied with what it had done. the next morning he
shot up out of bed and checked his hand, there was no mark, it was a just a crazy
dream. he chocked it all up to nervous excitement and then got ready to go meet
mona.He was accepted into the band, him and neko then started working together
to find more who would be intrested in joining.Griltson now enjoys his life as
a member of the squad, but still, whenever he thinks about that dream he had
the day before he was to join, he can't help but feel like mona had something to
do with it in a way he can't explain.

Veil
------
role: bass guitarist

age: 18

personality: perky,kind,vibrant,shy,sensible,self-expressive,
insightful,endearing

gender: female

Nickname: Artsonist

brief history:
---------------

ever the odd one,Veil could never really find her place. in school, she spent
most of her time day dreaming. what she kept from others was the fact that she was
very tainted writer and artist. she would sketch daily, coming up with new ideas for
the world she had in her head. rather than follow the pop culture and the current trends,
she opted to entertain herself with the world she had created, she would talk to characters,
walk around in an open space pretending to explore her world and play out story scenarios.
the school bully and his friends stopped her and asked to have a look in her book, she
refused and attempted to walk away, when she did, they snatched the book out of her
hands. the bully's friends gathered around as he flipped threw the pages. she tried to pull
it away but they pushed her back. they laughed at what she drew and took pictures, and
took turns tossing the book around as she tried to catch it before throwing it in the trash.
she recovered it and ran to class with tears in her eyes. later that day she saw on
social media the photos the bullies had taken, they put a caption mocking her artwork.
soon other people made edited images turning her art into a sort of joke. At this veil
was devastated, all hopes of turning her the fruits of her imagination into something
where crushed. the insults got more than just under her skin; they seemed to creep
there way into her soul. she spent days in her room crying, she no longer had the desire
to continue with her art. She started burning and deleting the art she had left and
slowly erased the world she had made, all to attempt to fit in and prevent further
heart ache, she called her actions "the chainmail initiative" then one night she had a
strange dream, though she insists it was to vivid to be one. laying bed in the darkness
of her room, just before driffting off to sleep, she could feel someone stroking her head,
she once imagined the feeling of holding hands with her charcters before but this was
diffrent; this was physical. a voice said sweetly, "there is no need to fear. you have a
vibrant soul, one far more so than even you can imagine." Veil asked "w-who are you?"
the voice replied "a creator who is far less appreciated" Veil looked up and saw who it was,
she had long black hair and soft red eyes, she was dressed like an ancient queen. she had
a golden halo and on her head was a gold crown.This person, whoever she was looked like
she came out of the world veil had made; she was beautiful.the next morning she found
one of her sketch books at the foot of her bed, she opened it up and found a strange card.
the back was black and gold, it had the mark of darkness and ornate engravings. she
turned it to the front and saw an ink drawing of a man dressed in rodes being set free
from chains and spreading wings. insted of normal chains it was a recurrence chains and
each of the links where broken as he looked up from a dark abyss to open sky over head,
the text at the bottom read "chainbreaker" and had an intricate symbol she had never seen
before. she looked it up and it turned out to be a tarot card use by the occult in Manilicifaric
rituals. the chainbreaker card was meant to spare someone from ending up in valhalla.
she held on to it not knowing what to do. she later found the courage to continue art
again but she also took up another passion; music. she stared playing the bass guitar,
liking it's groovy sound. one day she went to the music shop to buy some strings and
saw a flyer that caught her interest. "valhalla firing squad: new heavy metal band looking
for a bass guitarist role". she gave them a call and soon enough they accepted her. some
of veil's life experences have proved as inspiration for some of the band's songs
"create,observe,destroy","Artsonist",and "Chainmail"just to name a few. every time
she prefroms, she has the chainbreaker card tucked in her pocket, she sees it as a
symbol of a second chance at doing what she loves.

Suggie lost soul
------
role: DJ

age: 24

personality: charming, extroverted, flamboyant,cheesy,witty,
mischievous,amusing,sociable

gender: male

Nickname: funny a$$

brief history:
---------------
As small time Disc jocky playing at everything from children's birthday parties to
drunken family reunions, he wasn't getting far in his career. though at times he
made some pretty good money from people who spend way to much on a gender reveal
party, he felt like they didn't give a fudgenugget about his talent as a DJ. He felt the
people he played for where simpletons, accepting even his poorest quality work as just
another songmix for people to lie to themselve that they "know how to dance" to. as a
young gun, suggie was a bit of a joker. at fromal events when it came time to play the
slow romantic dance part of the night, he would watch as the sweet couples came together
and danced gracefully while looking each other in the eyes, then suddenly when the song
was on a down beat, he would change it to brutal death metal. this trick of his never failed
to make him and other loners burst out laughing as the well dressed couples looked at
him horrified. after people caught on about his tricks, he stopped getting invited to formal
events, he always found them boring anyway. his favorite gigs where rave parties, there
her felt like a real rockstar. After one party when it was early in the morning hours, someone
came up to him, he introduced himself as Nefco,a guitarist for a band called "valhalla firing squad"
he recognized suggie from a fromal party where he did one of his tricks. it was a family
member's wedding he didn't want to be at. as usual when the slow music came on, he took
his spot in the back of the ballroom but he was pleasantly surprised when it was
interrupted by something far less gentle. He asked suggie if he was interested in looking
into the band more, up for anything, suggie agreed. A week later, he attended one
of there rehearsals. Mona was surprised to see a new face, Nefco introduced him but
when he said that he was a DJ mona's demeanor changed she said "what use do we
have for a DJ", Suggie was not discouraged though he used this opportunity make
a comeback and said "about as much uses as your dad has for you" he was going
along with a joke what was popular among the likes of him but he didn't realize what
it meant to mona at the time. fortunately Neko was close by the stop the murderous
rampage she had become. after that It took awhile for Mona to loosen up around
Suggie, as she basses her opinion on some solely on first impressions. She and neko
than realized they did have use for a DJ after all.

Nefco
-------
role: rhythm guitarist

age: 21

personality: dependable, passionate ,skillful, insightful

gender: male

nickname: smiley

brief history:
---------------
As a rebellious teen,Nefco was alway seeking new way to cause trouble. His parents
where devoted emerald sanctity and they would reach out to there community for ways
to contain him. It turns out he had a mental disorder that would always cause him
to act so impulsive. He went on medication but this would soon have a detrimental
effect on his still developing mind. rather than being hyperactive, he would become
depressed. from a very young age he always had a passion for guitar playing and
and writing poetry, he turn to these as a way to express his inner aguish. he had
ideas he wanted to share with everyone but no one ever seemed interested, instead
his work would be presented to the psychologist he was seeing and a further
diagnosis would be made.than one night he would have a dream that would change
his way of thinking, the dream it self was nightmarish and random, yet he seemed
to know exactly what it meant, the dream seemed as if it rewired the inner workings
of his soul. He became more determined in his craft and worked with more passion.
he no longer cared if people hated his work. during one appointment with the
psychologist he brought up his dream to the psychologist ,he just took notes with a stony
face as he always did but his mom tuned to his with a shocked expression on her face.
On the way home she explained what the dream he had was. There his a phenomenon
documented in the teachings of emerald sanctity known as an "Umbramalic nightmare"
it is not known exactly how they occur but just one has the power to change a person's
life for the better. He no longer needed to see the psychologist after that visit.
he was still reclusive for a while but he no longer was full of negative emotions. And than
he would find "the thing he was looking for" There was a small time metal band playing
in his local area, it only had three members, a singer, guitarist, and drummer. he had been
interested in metal and even wrote some songs himself, so when he got the chance to meet
the band backstage he was quick to prove his worth. the bands founder, Mona,
decided that taking him in was a no brainer. his skill with the guitar and poetry
would take the band to a whole new level. Nefco became the forth addition to the squad.

???
------
role: opera vocalist/pianist

age: Unknown (around 33-35 ish)

personality: shy,quiet,elegant,proper,polite,formal,
dignified,gentle

gender female

nickname: The lady in white / the voice of hope

brief history:
---------------
Eventually VFS would reach international recognition threw out mobius and even
reaching some level of popularity as a counter culture icon off planet.Recetly the band
announced that they would be adding a new member to the firing squad. Though the
identity of the "lady in white" is not fully known, Mona and Neko did state this in an
interview with complete chaos metal news "she is an extremely talented opera singer
who hasn't reached the level of recognition she deserves, hell, you could even say
she is the most talented of us all and none of the squad members would be offended by
that. It was like when we took in Nefco, it's one of those moments where the
answer is no s***sherlock. she is the perfect antidote to the bands rough and harsh
nature, with her among our ranks it's like we have a perfect duality now of light and
darkness; life and death; opposites attract incase you didn't catch that, but yeah we
can't wait to start recording with her". "the lady in white is set to make her debut in
the band's first album with a "complete" roster Title "Face the firing squad". It is said
that her fellow band mates have never seen her without her eye cover. when asked by
the squad members she said it was to cover up an eye deformity, but still much of the
Lady in white is unknown even to those around her.

voice answered, It was Mona. she could barely contain her excitement, someone
actually wanted to join them. they agreed to meet the next day at a restaurant.
That night Griltson had a strange dream,he was tied to a chair in a dark room with
a light hanging above him. masked men came out of the darkness, one of them
holding a branding iron. the iron was pressed against is right hand, leaving a mark;
it was the mark of darkness. A woke in sleep paralysis, he knew better than to open
his eyes, lest he see something terrifying but out of curiosity he did anyway. In
the room with him was a tall black figure with red glowing eyes, and a dark halo.
it seemed to look, into his very soul. it then lowly walked out of the room with
heavy footsteps, seemingly satisfied with what it had done. the next morning he
shot up out of bed and checked his hand, there was no mark, it was a just a crazy
dream. he chocked it all up to nervous excitement and then got ready to go meet
mona.He was accepted into the band, him and neko then started working together
to find more who would be intrested in joining.Griltson now enjoys his life as

do with it in a way he can't explain.

Veil
------
role: bass guitarist

age: 18

personality: perky,kind,vibrant,shy,sensible,self-expressive,
insightful,endearing

gender: female

Nickname: Artsonist

brief history:
---------------

ever the odd one,Veil could never really find her place. in school, she spent
most of her time day dreaming. what she kept from others was the fact that she was
very tainted writer and artist. she would sketch daily, coming up with new ideas for
the world she had in her head. rather than follow the pop culture and the current trends,
she opted to entertain herself with the world she had created, she would talk to characters,
walk around in an open space pretending to explore her world and play out story scenarios.
the school bully and his friends stopped her and asked to have a look in her book, she
refused and attempted to walk away, when she did, they snatched the book out of her
hands. the bully's friends gathered around as he flipped threw the pages. she tried to pull
it away but they pushed her back. they laughed at what she drew and took pictures, and
took turns tossing the book around as she tried to catch it before throwing it in the trash.
she recovered it and ran to class with tears in her eyes. later that day she saw on
social media the photos the bullies had taken, they put a caption mocking her artwork.
soon other people made edited images turning her art into a sort of joke. At this veil
was devastated, all hopes of turning her the fruits of her imagination into something
where crushed. the insults got more than just under her skin; they seemed to creep
there way into her soul. she spent days in her room crying, she no longer had the desire
to continue with her art. She started burning and deleting the art she had left and
slowly erased the world she had made, all to attempt to fit in and prevent further
heart ache, she called her actions "the chainmail initiative" then one night she had a
strange dream, though she insists it was to vivid to be one. laying bed in the darkness
of her room, just before driffting off to sleep, she could feel someone stroking her head,
she once imagined the feeling of holding hands with her charcters before but this was
diffrent; this was physical. a voice said sweetly, "there is no need to fear. you have a
vibrant soul, one far more so than even you can imagine." Veil asked "w-who are you?"
the voice replied "a creator who is far less appreciated" Veil looked up and saw who it was,
she had long black hair and soft red eyes, she was dressed like an ancient queen. she had
a golden halo and on her head was a gold crown.This person, whoever she was looked like
she came out of the world veil had made; she was beautiful.the next morning she found
one of her sketch books at the foot of her bed, she opened it up and found a strange card.
the back was black and gold, it had the mark of darkness and ornate engravings. she
turned it to the front and saw an ink drawing of a man dressed in rodes being set free
from chains and spreading wings. insted of normal chains it was a recurrence chains and
each of the links where broken as he looked up from a dark abyss to open sky over head,
the text at the bottom read "chainbreaker" and had an intricate symbol she had never seen
before. she looked it up and it turned out to be a tarot card use by the occult in Manilicifaric
rituals. the chainbreaker card was meant to spare someone from ending up in valhalla.
she held on to it not knowing what to do. she later found the courage to continue art
again but she also took up another passion; music. she stared playing the bass guitar,
liking it's groovy sound. one day she went to the music shop to buy some strings and
saw a flyer that caught her interest. "valhalla firing squad: new heavy metal band looking
for a bass guitarist role". she gave them a call and soon enough they accepted her. some
of veil's life experences have proved as inspiration for some of the band's songs
"create,observe,destroy","Artsonist",and "Chainmail"just to name a few. every time
she prefroms, she has the chainbreaker card tucked in her pocket, she sees it as a
symbol of a second chance at doing what she loves.

As small time Disc jocky playing at everything from children's birthday parties to
drunken family reunions, he wasn't getting far in his career. though at times he
made some pretty good money from people who spend way to much on a gender reveal
party, he felt like they didn't give a fudgenugget about his talent as a DJ. He felt the
people he played for where simpletons, accepting even his poorest quality work as just
another songmix for people to lie to themselve that they "know how to dance" to. as a
young gun, suggie was a bit of a joker. at fromal events when it came time to play the
slow romantic dance part of the night, he would watch as the sweet couples came together
and danced gracefully while looking each other in the eyes, then suddenly when the song
was on a down beat, he would change it to brutal death metal. this trick of his never failed
to make him and other loners burst out laughing as the well dressed couples looked at
him horrified. after people caught on about his tricks, he stopped getting invited to formal
events, he always found them boring anyway. his favorite gigs where rave parties, there
her felt like a real rockstar. After one party when it was early in the morning hours, someone
came up to him, he introduced himself as Nefco,a guitarist for a band called "valhalla firing squad"
he recognized suggie from a fromal party where he did one of his tricks. it was a family
member's wedding he didn't want to be at. as usual when the slow music came on, he took
his spot in the back of the ballroom but he was pleasantly surprised when it was
interrupted by something far less gentle. He asked suggie if he was interested in looking
into the band more, up for anything, suggie agreed. A week later, he attended one
of there rehearsals. Mona was surprised to see a new face, Nefco introduced him but
when he said that he was a DJ mona's demeanor changed she said "what use do we
have for a DJ", Suggie was not discouraged though he used this opportunity make
a comeback and said "about as much uses as your dad has for you" he was going
along with a joke what was popular among the likes of him but he didn't realize what
it meant to mona at the time. fortunately Neko was close by the stop the murderous
rampage she had become. after that It took awhile for Mona to loosen up around
Suggie, as she basses her opinion on some solely on first impressions. She and neko

interview with complete chaos metal news "she is an extremely talented opera singer
who hasn't reached the level of recognition she deserves, hell, you could even say
she is the most talented of us all and none of the squad members would be offended by
that. It was like when we took in Nefco, it's one of those moments where the
answer is no s***sherlock. she is the perfect antidote to the bands rough and harsh

can't wait to start recording with her". "the lady in white is set to make her debut in
