VF-31 "GRAPLIN"
"Graplin," the laid-back and easy-going aviator of VF-31, is known for his unshakable calm and steady presence both in the ready room and in the cockpit.
Very little ever gets under his skin, and that same cool demeanor translates directly into his flying—smooth, controlled, and consistently effective under pressure. While others may tense up in high-stakes moments, Graplin seems to settle in, operating with a relaxed confidence that keeps his wingmen grounded and focused.
In the air, his style is deliberate and efficient, never rushed, always in control.
Off-duty, Graplin has a quirky passion for tying intricate nautical knots, often carrying a length of rope and absentmindedly working through complex patterns while others talk shop.
He claims it keeps his hands busy and his mind clear—“same as flying, just slower.”
With his steady nerves, easygoing attitude, and unique hobby, Graplin remains a calming and dependable force within VF-31.
