Character Information
Name: Tick Jefferson
Age: 19 Years old
Fandom: Baccano!
Appearance:
Blonde haired, blue eyed young man who carries a smile with him almost anywhere he goes. He dresses in a button up shirt, suspenders and slacks. He never seems to go far without a pair of scissors in his hand. He has a tall, thin build and, other than the scissors, does not look that imposing or threatening.
Picture reference: [Here]
History: General Wiki and Character Wiki.
The torture specialist for the Gandors. He was raised by his step father who sold him into service to the Gandors in exchange for trying to get out of his debts. Since then, he’s proven his place with his scissors in hand. In The Slash, he goes with Maria to try and have a talk with some minor bootleggers on the edge of their turf. In the end, the two get mixed up in one of Huey Laforet’s plots against the mysterious organization Nebula.
Canon Point: Right after the events of The Slash.
Personality:
Tick Jefferson looks like a gentle, kind person and in some ways he looks and acts childish. As his current occupation suggests, though, looks can be deceiving. He says he is dumb, though he sees things in a different perspective from most people. The harshness of his job does not take away from the fact he can be kind and caring. He even enjoys playing around with new hobbies, no matter how bad at them he is.
Tick says he is dumb because he tends to not get phased as much by things other people do. This may include things like tragedy and surprising situations. He also cannot believe in or really know about things you cannot see and cannot cut. Belief in intangible things is just beyond his ability. Certain emotions, and the connections those emotions bring, are rarely shown thanks to this. Family, friends, love, hate, all things are intangible connections between two or more people and, until he finds them and they prove unbreakable, he can’t really accept them.
Tick turns this on his own feelings as well. He doesn’t think he has a bond of family, or of trust and friendship. He feels those things would fade before his body breaks. His test for these things on others is to torture and break their bodies, cutting them to ribbons, until they forsake those imaginary bonds. He does hope that one day he will have a subject that doesn’t discard such things and holds to them to the end, even if he or she dies in doing so. Even if he or she suffers the worse pain imaginable by doing so.
Until then, he greets everything with curiosity, a smile and a child-like view of the world. He can catch on to the harsher things around him, though he’ll rarely give in to them. He can easily accept other people’s views of the world, even if he cannot believe in them himself. He can even root someone on even if he has no reason not to. He isn’t easy to offend because he thinks most insults sent his way are true. He is not as smart as his brother, so that is probably at fault for such insults anyways.
Game Specific
Suitability:
Tick is the torture specialist for a 1930’s mob gang. He has no qualms about cutting someone in service to those he works for. He also uses it to further his own searches for those invisible bonds. He is quite capable with his scissors, proving to be an artist when it comes to torture. He can also manage other things like disabling or cutting down an opponent with them, even if he is not one of the better known fighters of the organization he works for. He also is supposedly pretty strong though, in comparison to the one who noticed (Dallas), it’s hard to tell really how much that counts for. Tick is not afraid of violence, death and blood shed so would be a wonderful tool in an assassins’ game. Chances are, he’ll notice people’s desires and challenge them in the game to test them soon enough.
Weapon:
Scissor sword. Flaming Scissor sword. In between the two scissoring blades is fire so it cuts and burns! He so doesn’t know how to use these and it’s going to end in tears, but still, that’s what he is getting. A scissor sword.
For all intents and purposes, I am going to say it’s a pair of german rapiers that open and close as well as heating up in between the blades to cause fire. The weapon will be fueled by butane in the handle, like a huge lighter. Which also means it only has a few seconds of use before just going back to being a pair of swords with one handle.
Samples
Log/Third Person Sample:
There are so many people struggling in this world. So many competitors. All have important things to fight for. Things they hold dear. If it became too hard would they just give up on going home? Tick idly wondered as he stared at the cloudy sky. Scissors opened and closed.
*Snick Snack* *Snick Snack*
He cut at the clouds as if trying to reveal the light they hid from this place. If he fought these matches for real, he could see how strong their resolve is. Their bonds to home, friends, family and their old ways of lives are things he couldn’t begin to comprehend. Maybe if he beat a few of them. Cut them. Hurt them. Maybe then, he’d see. Maybe then he’d know if he truly cared about going home or not. Sure, he is pretty sure he misses the Gandors, Maria and his old way of life. But is he willing to fight for it? Willing to be hurt? He didn’t think so.
*Snick Snack*
Maybe he’d be willing to put himself in harms way to prove that they exist in others first. They’d go for the easy kills, likely. The fast move through the ranks. He’d be able to test those people. Maybe, instead of beating them, he’d test them. Or, maybe not. Maybe he could just watch them struggle and see if he could find those unbreakable bonds in one of them. Maybe.
Journal Entry/First Person Sample:
[He lines up the cats, now that he’s caught them all. Scissors out, he gets to work. This job would be easier if he knew how many cats he had left and which ones are missing.
So he cuts. His scissors darting forward quickly. Never harming the cats but cutting patches of fur instead.
Numbers appearing clearly on them before they dart away. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5….
They scatter throughout the house, though now they are marked. This will make his work easier.]
There, now, let’s see if they are all still here or if any escaped.
