RANDEL | Corporal of the Imperial Army State Secion III, AKA Pumpkin Scissors Unit, former member of the 901 ATT unit. Physically large. (230cm / 7'6") Although his face and body are both covered with numerous scars, his personality is very mild and he shies away from fighting. [ ATT lamp abilities here. ] Due to his mild personality, he is constantly tormented by the guilt of having killed a great many people during the war. Is trying not to use his lamp, as turning it on will force him into his violent state until his opponent is dead, which he fears. Uses the 13mm Door Knocker.

Born in the 0th District (Oland) of the capital. A bastard child (doesn't know his father) of the 0th District, he looked to one of the orphan children's doctors as his father. Although the details are unclear, it seems his mother became involved in a faction and was killed, and his father was also mistaken for the leader of the faction (?) and was similarly killed. Afterward, he ended up joining a group of the 0th District's orphans (Tumbleweed) and lived with them as their brother. In order to earn money for the medical treatment of his adoptive sisten Ursula, he sold himself to a slaver and ended up as Kauplan's experiment, ultimately placed in the 901 ATT as a soldier. The surname Oland is actually just the name of the district he's from, and was given as a surname because it was necessary for re-entering the military. After the ceasefire 3 years ago, he was abandoned by the army and forced to wander, because the 901 wasn't an official unit.

901 ATT | Anti-Tank Troopers. Also called the Soldiers Denied Life (?) (Gespenst Jager). Randel's old unit. The soldiers used the blue-light lantern, the Door Knocker, three-part armor-piercing cutters as special equipment, as well as grenades. To both allies and enemies, they were known by, "You can burn out their eyes, even tear out their arms, but they'll be led along by the Will O the Wisp and attack at point-blank range!" "Should you meet a soldier carrying the blue-steel lamp, do not think them an ally, but do not make them your enemy. That lantern is a light that controls the owner's soul. They come bearing the blue Will O the Wisp." They were surrounded by many rumors, and as the rumors said, they would approach a tank to shoot the pilot with the Door Knocker, or use the cutter to wrench open the hatch and directly kill the drivers. Once they turn the Blue Steel Lantern on, they lose the ability to feel fear and will focus only on their target, not caring about even their own injuries until the target is dead. Although they will make a minimal effort at self-defense and their protective coat and helmet, their unstoppable ferocity will often result in numerous injuries.

DOOR KNOCKER | A single-action, one-shot, large-bore handgun. It looks like an englarged version of the traditional six-shooter. The size of the gun is so that the recoil is the maximum a human can bear, but it still needs to be shot at point-blank rage to puncture tank armor -- thus, it was given the name of Door Knocker. However, it was officially "never produced" because it would be illogical to expect any soldier to rush closer to a tank. Although it will definitely pierce through tank armor at a close distance, because it was not made for accuracy, its range is very small and its uses are exclusively for anti-tank combat. Although it's never clarified, Randal never runs out of ammo even after joining the Pumpkin Scissors, so its ammunition must be commonly made. (In reality, the Mauser M1918 is an anti-tank rifle that uses 13mm bullets, and a similar anti-tank gun 3.8cm PaK36 is also called the Door Knocker.)

STEEL CUTTERS | A tool that looks a bit like a pair of foldable pliers. It can tear or strip away tank armor, or can be used to twist open a tank's hatch. When Randel used it against human, there wasn't even a need to cut at limbs, because a simple swing would kill a normal man. The one Randel is always carrying is inscribed with "Marman-ccheda" ("hour of death" in Sanskrit).
