I figured xD 

I think it's a bit too obvious who my inspiration for Gerald is. (understatement of the year). As for his semblance, yeah, I won't abuse it. It's mainly just so that I can justify him being able to last in a 1 v 1 against a trained hunter despite the fact his bio says he has no training whatsoever. To be honest, when writing his semblance I considered giving him two, with the second being a stealth/invisibility semblance to make up for the fact he would probably be outnumbered. 

As for how to get him into Beacon, well, I originally intended for him to be an anti-villain/antagonist for a little while, seeing how there's two perfectly fit teams so far. In that case, I would say he would be stealing something from Beacon and/or be working there as a janitor of sorts to pull off a heist. If we just decide to skip the antagonist part and get him to beacon though, then I guess we can say he got in the same way as Ruby did xD
