Having a svelte build, Juda Graves is agility personified, albeit a bit gangly. His head is kept bald, showing off even more of his chalky white skin as his piercing blue eyes cut through the pale. His eyebrows are dark and thick, sweeping upwards on the outer corners and the long goatee on his chin is white. On the palm of his left hand he has a credit chit with the words 'Pay up' written in Mando'a.
Juda Graves has a sick sense of humor, viewing the world through dark colored glass. He has a biting sense of black humor, often laughing at things that most people would find reprehensible or down right soul crushing. As a result, those that are not used to his brand of humor often find Juda Graves downright unbearable or overly morbid. At the same time, his cynicism can be useful for seeing through the optimistic altruism of those he encounters.
Juda Graves does not charge a high price because he has to pay for a life of luxury; he charges a high price because he knows that he is the best in the game and worth the credits. Those who do not know Juda Graves will feel he is gouging them, but those who have seen him in action know that he always delivers. This bravado follows Juda Graves around and builds on the success of completed jobs and can be off-putting to other Mercenaries that will try and lash back by pointing out his failures.
People tend to reverently follow Juda Graves’s lead and look up to him in difficult situations. Whether through inspirational behavior, fear and manipulation, or belief and hope for a better future, they think that Juda Graves genuinely believes what he does. This is all a clever facade, however, as Juda Graves is not always as upstanding and respectable as his followers believe. He is no idol, but an opportunist who knows how to manipulate a crowd into bettering his own machinations.
Juda Graves rarely acts without an alternate motive when it comes to lending aid or acting in a situation. Be it greed, power, or something else, almost undoubtedly Juda Graves is after something more than what he says - though sometimes Juda Graves is even blunt enough to admit to it. While his self-serving attitude comes as a boon, usually, to his survival and pocketbook, his relationships are often strained by his outright selfish attitude.
When it comes to a fight, some like to posture, some like to act tough, some like to dance around and go through all sorts of fancy footwork. Juda Graves? Juda Graves doesn't bother with exotic battle stances, intricate maneuvers, or super-secret tactics. Juda Graves, when cornered into a fight, prefers the ancient technique of a good kick to the nuts. And if that won't work, either because the enemy is a woman or has balls of steel, Juda Graves isn't beyond pulling a few more cheap tricks out of the bag. Granted, Juda Graves won't be winning any medals for nobility or any prestige for a unique fighting style or a superb maneuver, but Juda Graves will still be winning, the best and most dirty way he knows how.
Through a mixture of cocksure courage and arrogant swagger, Juda Graves will not back down from a challenge when called out, even if the wiser path is to walk away or let it go. Juda Graves's personality does tend to rub a lot of people the wrong way, which generally puts him into situations that escalate quickly to violence. While he may not be the one to always start a fight, he will always see it through to it’s conclusion. Some have tried to play a challenge off as idle banter, but when Juda Graves initiates or accepts a challenge, he does not hold back.
