CHARACTER NAME: Graham Specter
CHARACTER AGE: 20
CANON: Baccano! light novels
CANON POINT: Summer 1932 (Book 16: Man in the Killer)
CRAU INFO: N/A
SUITABILITY:
Graham is fiercely strong and insanely fast despite his size, all while somehow not being superhuman. This is a man who can knock a bullet back at his enemy with a wrench like he was hitting a baseball, who can throw a car into the air and have it dismantled into organized pieces on the ground in moments. His opponents have a hard time following him not just because he's so fast and strong, but because his mood swings also make him unpredictable. Graham really doesn't have much formal fighting training (just a little from Ladd before he was sent to prison), which shows in canon when he's fighting more experienced combatants. Still, he's incredibly formidable using his giant crescent wrench as his preferred weapon.
Graham is incredibly dangerous, his mood swings making him violently unpredictable, but one thing LILITH won't have to worry about is him killing anyone, civilian or Outsider. Graham hates killing things, as he sees life as worthless and of no substance. Something of no substance can't be disassembled, so Graham derives no satisfaction from killing, saying he has no right to take life, and getting depressed when it does happen. His fighting ability and propensity for violence will definitely be enough to take down any monsters, even if he decides he doesn't want to kill the kaiju. Monsters can be disassembled just like a person, and Graham is always very eager and excited to learn all the new fun ways something can be taken apart. Just because he won't kill someone or something doesn't mean he's not capable of dealing a horrific amount of damage. During combat he uses his wrench as a blunt weapon, or to dislocate his enemy's joints. However, his mood swings also mean he can be a detriment on the battlefield as much as an asset if he hits a depressive swing. Care should to be taken when sending him out to do pretty much anything, and a team setting is the best bet for keeping him focused.
Fighting isn't his only forte - Graham is a certifiable mechanical genius. He can disassemble anything large or small in seconds, with tools or even his bare hands if needed. Even if it's something he's never encountered before, he'll have it figured out in no time. This is his greatest joy, and the driving motivation behind everything in his life. Fellow Outsiders will continuously find all machines and appliances all over the base meticulously disassembled, parts unharmed and lined up in order. Convincing him to put them back together, or to build or fix other things, entirely depends on his mood. It's not easy to convince him, but it can be done. Graham isn't a well-educated person, but is instead startlingly well-read. However, his scattered mind tends to mix up details and scramble the stories and metaphors he tries to tell. He's smart, but his volatile personality makes this hard to tell. But if LILITH wants more technologically inclined people their ranks, Graham is certainly not a bad choice, even if he's from nearly 350 years behind the setting.
Graham is not a trusting person to start. But if he decides he likes you, he's loyal to a fault. He almost never lies (and is a bad liar), and tends to be quite naive, taking people and what they say at face value. This doesn't preclude someone from being a victim of his violence, unfortunately. An extremely empathetic person, he becomes very trusting of those he manages to befriend, getting very emotionally invested in them. He tends to idolize those who are strong, with uncompromising mindsets, people like Ladd and Smith back home. LILITH's best bet is to help him find a find a person like them to latch on to, who can help control him.
