Law

Art by G00ey

Lawrence Graham, better known as Law, is a member of "The Beasts." He is the second to last member to join "The Beasts." Law joined Paradise Corporation during 2018 after an arms deal Mr. Black had set up went bad and Law was used as a hostage. Not having a fulfilling purpose in life and becoming quick friends with Edward Black, he joined Paradise Corporation shortly after.

## Appearance

Law is a young man standing at just about 5 feet and 10 inches tall. He has somewhat lanky limbs and is in decent shape, at least for someone of his age. He has blonde hair that is slightly rosy. He also has light freckles on both of his cheeks.

After joining with Paradise Corporation, and more specifically the Beasts, Law took on elements of a rabbit for his outfits as to fit in with the theming Mr. Black had created with the Beasts. Most of his clothes include bunny ears. Notably the one piece of clothing that does not change between outfit to outfit is a small cheap mascaraed mask that he wears over his eyes. The outer color is white and the eyes are a reddish-pink color.

## History

### **Early life (2001-2018)**

Both of Law's parents died during his infancy due to natural causes. He was taken in by his grandmother Rebecca so he could “live a normal life.” Law's grandmother was overbearing considering his circumstance. This overbearingness was appreciated by Law in retrospect though, and was a massive reason for future events in his life. In early 2018 Law would enroll for college after graduating high school.

### **Dark Necessities** **(2018 Onward)**

While working in a mall in his home town of Los Angeles, Law would witness a deal go bad between Paradise Corporation and criminal named Gutter. The members present at the deal were Mr. Black, Fin, Henry, and George. Due to this deal breaking in a public space, Paradise Corporation had to take drastic measures and ride the line of their code of conduct. Law would be the unlucky, or his case lucky, victim to this drastic measure. Law was taken as a hostage so that Mr. Black and the Beasts could escape the premises unscathed. The adrenaline and excitement that the event filled Law with was what he had been wanting in his life. Edward Black would meet Law at the scene of the event as well and would quickly strike up a friendship with him. Mr. Black made sure to keep Law safe at all costs; taking hostages, more specifically taking civilians, and pulling them into their business was something he did not wish to do. Despite all this Law still wanted to "tag along" with Paradise Corporation since it gave him a new breath to life.

Mr. Black believed that Law was going to be the last member to join the Beasts but this would be upturned after the Dead War.

## Personality

Though somewhat of a wiz when it comes to computers, in most cases he is not the sharpest tool in the shed. He usually needs things explained multiple times or in a different way to make sure he understands a situation or plan. This is not necessarily a bad thing, troublesome yes, but due to his character as a person it cannot be helped too much. Even in his twenties he still mostly carries that childhood wonder with peaceful eyes for this world. It’s quite charming especially in this line of work because it’s genuine and not satirical. As previously explained he still has a child’s heart, and a child’s patience to go with it. He can’t follow things well which causes him to get frustrated with himself and say “get on with it already” to avoid further delay. One could say he gets flustered somewhat easily.

Law is passionate about a lot of things. His interests, other people’s interests, his needs, other people’s needs, and just about everything in between. It also brings out his devotion to not only the team but to himself. In that sense, he probably is the hardest working member of "The Beasts".

## Powers and Abilities

### **Human Abilities**

Law is among the least trained in the Beasts, though not the least among all of Paradise Corporation's most notable members. The biggest advantage that Law has over most is his agility. Law is extremely nimble and fast moving, able to easily duck and weave when the time calls. His speed rivals professional sports athletes.

He has some light arms training as well. With the help of both Fin and Henry, Law can use a handgun in one hand and easily shoot it. That is the most he can do though. Larger firearms are more cumbersome to use for him.

### **God's Gift**

Because of the events of Hell Patrol, Law was given a God's Gift that he aptly named "Hanging Air." The power allows him to hang onto "solid air." Some use cases can include double jumping, pivoting mid air, stopping one's self while mid air, and being able to "hang" on air. Law uses this power to the best of his ability, using it in combination with his stamina and maneuverability makes him extremely hard to hit. It also makes it very easy to dodge attacks that most cannot.

## Trivia

* Law is still technically enrolled at California State University in Fullerton for computer sciences.
* Knows how to play the bass guitar, pretty well too.
