“Nice? Oh, please. I know y’can do better than that. There’s an entire thesaurus'a words more suitable for the situation! Nice. Ha! So bland. So boring. It’s an absolute sin that it be applied to somethin’ that even remotely resembles true beauty. Look out on the horizon. Take in the sights. Now find a word more appropriate. I’ll give ya a few. Gorgeous. Pristine. Flawless. Allurin’. Grand. Magnificent. Marvelous. Delightful.”

Graham stares at the ruined cars standing before him. The sun reflects beautifully off of the old rusty cars littering the junkyard in which the two are currently standing. Old, broken down cars stand silently here and there and elsewhere, pleading with their headlights at him. Tragically standing alone in a group, solitary in company. It’s horrifying. Depressing as sin. The mechanic moves closer and begins to dismantle a car, piece by piece.

"Dead?"

"Correct me if I’m wrong, I'm pretty sure ya just implied that I'm boring. A bland hunk of meat decomposin’, only good for feedin’ the flies buzzin’ around? I gotta say, that’s a little offensive. For you see, madam, I am far from dead. On the contrary, I am about as alive as a guy could get, considerin’ life is pretty much an all or nothin’ situation."

"I understand. It was all a big misunderstanding. You misspoke. Slip'a the tongue. Unintentional offense. A'course, considerin' the offense was received, unintentional or otherwise, I'm gonna give you t'the count'a three to apologize before I start snappin' bones."

"Damn damn damn damn damn. What a missed opportunity. An end before the means even had an opportunity ta fulfill its destiny! It was as if I was handed heaven on a golden platter, but it was pulled away before I got even so much as a whiff of the perfection that was this marvelous challenge."

"Would'a been a perfect chance ta break somethin' too. Gnomes, fragile, vulnerable little garden gnomes, callin' out ta me. Break me, Graham, they'd whisper alluringly into my ears. I can hear 'em now, beckoning. Luring. Pinin' ta be smashed into a thousand itty bitty little pieces with the swift motion of a hard, metal wrench. What a wasted opportunity it all was."

♋ What drew you to this muse?

 Something about Graham drew me in as soon as his character was introduced. He was so energetic, crazy, wacky, and fun to watch. I figured he would be equally fun to play.

☮ Is there anything you don’t like about playing this muse?

 Sometimes it's hard to work up the energy to write out paragraphs of contradictory dialogue for the sake of the character. I need to really be feeling Graham sometimes to play Graham.

☠ Who is a muse you would want to play?

 Red from Dick Figures. He's a really hilarious character who seems like he'd be a fun way to work off some wacky steam. The problem is, he's also incredibly offensive. It's also kinda hard to work him into some scenarios.

☤ What do you have in common with your muse?

CHARACTER NAME: Graham Specter

SERIES: Baccano!

PERSONALITY: Graham is a very excitable person. He loves breaking things and people alike, and can do so very efficiently with the combination of his speed, strength, and brains. He has a tendency to talk a lot, and frequently shares experiences in the form of rambling stories. He also tends to contradict himself, as if he’s changed his mind completely within a few minutes. He’s pretty crazy and violent when he gets in the right mood, but he never actually kills anyone. He’s claimed that "[life] is insubstantial, so taking it brings [him] no joy. [He doesn’t] like it. [He gets] nothing from it except feelings of guilt." He opts to break them instead.

Super High School Level: Mechanic

ABILITIES: Graham seems to have two major advantages over other people: he can move incredibly quickly and he has near-superhuman strength. He’s also very knowledgable when it comes to disassembling various objects, and once dismantled a car while it was in the air.
