Here’s the full version of the swap AU Filming Industry — The B.A.S.S. Mercenaries.

The B.A.S.S. Mercenaries operates beyond the reach of the Alliance. No one knows exactly where the team members hail from, when did they become a team, or what drives their actions. They have a repuration for completing any mission as long as the price is right, though money alone won’t suffice. Payment must be made in rare metal, gun powder, and other valuable commodities. Or else, part of the client’s body will be removed, heads and cores made up a large percentage. 

The B.A.S.S. ’s service range from blackmailing, assassination, security convoy, and sabotage, as an acronym of the team’s name.

Introducing the team members:

Balisong (He/him) - Demolitionist, explosive engineer. Younger brother of Lavalier. As volatile as the materials he works with, known for his quick temper, likely fueled by his addiction to smoking gunpower — a habit he’s never been able to get rid of. Quiet and reserved, only speaks when he’s working or when the conversation touches on a subject he’s pasionate about. Rumors had it that he had been a victim of Glitch Toilet, much like Lumix. Absolutely disapproves Lavalier’s relationship with Monochrome.

Lavalier (She/her) - Assassin, team leader. Older sister of Balisong, girlfriend of Monochrome. Ruthless, efficient, beneath her hardened exterior lies a soft spot reserved exclusively for those she considers family. Slightly jealous of Lumix because she has a dashing fiancé and an adorable boy. Has a substantial bounty on her head due to her act of sabotaging crucial intelligence from both the TV faction and the Skibidis. Rumors circulates that she might have been the original prototype for the current speaker matriach.

Monochrome (He/them) - Former butler. Worked as an interrogator for the TV faction for a few years before join the B.A.S.S. Partner of Lavalier. Unlike Foley, he is a virgin, yet he loves teasing Lavalier with inappropriate jokes. An accident during a sparring match with the TV elite left Monochrome with significant processor damage. Capable of using light ability and teleportation. However, when he teleports, large amount of red smoke will leak from their body for an extended peroid. Has invented a multitude of methods to torture his victims to death using nothing but chains. Has a collection of skulls, Polaroid’s included. Lumix almost pumped his head with lead because of it.

Lumix (She/her) - Gunswoman. Former human, fiancee of Sawmus and biological mother of Polaroid. Faked her death in the Glitch Toilet accident and aidded Lavalier in reassembling Balisong, later stayed in the B.A.S.S. due to her ties with Lavalier, unable to return to the Alliance. Misses Sawmus so much that she sometimes hacks the surveillance camera in the Alliance base, or stalks Sawmus’ team during their missions. Her precision and fierceness with her shotgun is absolutely viscious (Polaroid inherits his sniper genes from her). Doesn’t have any memories of her past as a human, but she finds solace in the fact that someday she would have Polaroid as her son.

Other info: in the swap AU, Sawmus and Polaroid’s storyline remains the same. Except for the part where Polaroid never joins the science department and keeps his position as a special op sniper in Sawmus’ team.

trans girl (me) meows at you then proceeds to flip a knife silly style

[witchlingcirce]

I need y’all to see my vision but I feel like Kit would really enjoy using a balisong/butterfly knife. I feel like he would really like to fidget with it.

LIKEE do y’all see the vision???? And on the note of Balisong’s, I feel like Cristina and Kit would be really cute friends (from this one passage)

Callsign Storytime

Back in her British Army days, Cpl. Mythrite was still as obsessed with her Balisongs as she is today.

One day, she was messing with it as usual. Private [NAME UNKNOWN] was passing by, playfully remarking,

“Nice switchblade you got there, Corporal.”

Silvia paused, the blade half opened.

“…Private, what was that?”

He stared back at her, noticing her sudden change in mood.

“Y’know… your switchblade-“

She pushed herself off the wall, flicking her blade open.

“Call my fuckin’ Balisong that one. More. Time.”

Cpl. Mythrite had to be restrained before she could cause serious damage to the poor Private.

Not long after, a callsign was given. Corporal Switchblade. A jab at the one day she nearly decommissioned a soldier for mistaking the name of her Balisong.

“Those two things? Very different.”

The name followed her through to the SAS, to the 141, and to Shadow Company. Sergeant Switchblade.

Later in her life, curiosity led her to searching where her beloved blade came from.

…the Philippines?

Hm.

Guess a part of her mum is still with her.
