Character: Czeslaw Meyer
Series: Baccano!
Character Age: Eternally 12
Canon: Baccano! is a series of 'light novels', a manga and an anime. The title roughly translates to 'loud noise' or more popularly 'stupid commotion' - an apt name for the series. The anime focuses on what happens when you take the Camorra mafia family, a pair of impressively stupid robbers, a group of thugs and various immortals and put them on a train called the Flying Pussyfoot. Tied up in this part-mafia, part fantastical-vampire story set in the 1930s Prohibition era is a lot of confusion and some adorable kids, one of whom is Czeslaw Meyer.
Czes is one of the series' immortals -- never aging and unable to be killed by violence, also known as +10 regeneration. Despite his long age he doesn't show it, and fools everyone into thinking he's adorable and innocent. His behavior usually reflects his appearance: a good kid, wide eyed, easily impressed and playful. A shot to the head and he'll drop his façade, letting out a much more serious and melancholy personality. Introduced as a 'cursed child' Czes is more than capable of luring a psychotic killer to try and talk him into murdering everyone on the train, all while still being damned cute.

Hey, hey, Mister! That was really, really cool. That thing you did, picking up all those people with one arm. You must be su~per strong! I didn't think you would be because you're purple (and that's not very manly), so I was surprised! Are you going to kill them? You're holding them so tightly and they're screaming for you to stop. That's more than a little friendly, ne~?
Instead of killing them why don't you help me out? I can make it worth your time, I promise. I'm lost and just want to go home to see my mother; she lives in New York, do you know how to get there? She's super nice and really pretty and if you help me out I'm sure she'll make you cookies or something. Or pay you. We can pay you a lot of money. Just help me get out and I promise we can reward you. So, what do you say?
Ah! Don't use such a mean voice! You don't need to threaten me, I'll ask someone else. But you should know that you're being awfully mean, because I don't like it here. It's scary, really, really scary. Even your cows are scary. One just went by, 'vroooom' like that. Cows aren't supposed to move that fast, it was almost like a train! D-don't push me, mister, I'll get run ove--.
…
That hurt. You're such a worthless guy, I can't use you at all. Why did you do that, anyway? It's not like you can frighten me into doing something, even if you show me all these dead people. I know what dead people are like. They smell bad and rot, just like these. You know, I was lying before, about this place being really scary. It's not at all, and since you're no help at all I'll just get someone else to do it. Someone useful.
Ah~ hey, mister! That was really cool, the way you chased those people down, you must be really fast. Not only that but you look really kind, want to help me get home? Pleeeaase? Wait, w-what? Don't come closer! I… I don't know where the shouta is.
I-if I play dead the bear will go away… right?
