Personality: Wayland has a somewhat bombastic personality, often talking high above his abilities. He could be called arrogant, but only in a slight way. He's very fun-loving and bold, which will lead him to do pretty much anything if it would impress others. Never passed off a dare before. Wayland loves to explore and impress others with his boldness and bravery, and he craves attention. He has anger issues, and has trouble controlling his anger. At times he can be pessimistic. Wayland has a lonely side that he doesn't show often which may be due to his childhood, explaining why he yearns for attention. Though most of the time he likes to be social and near others, at times he finds it hard and prefers to be alone.

History: Wayland's father was never known to him, and his mother never revealed anything on the subject. He always imagined him as a hero, though it was far from the truth. Wayland's mother grew very ill when he was only 8 years old, and she was unable to provide for the family. A mech engineer took pity on the family, allowing Wayland to apprentice to him and earn money for the family. He eagerly took the job, finding out that he had a natural capacity for mechanics. He was a prodigy, and he quickly learned the ins and outs of engineering, even occasionally having the chance to pilot test some of the mechs. Wayland never made any friends with other children, he often got in fights when people made fun of him or his mother, leading him to become quite skilled at hand to hand combat.

When Wayland was 15 years old, his mother took a turn for the worst and passed away, leaving the boy alone. The engineer that he was apprenticed to took the boy in, allowing him to continue working under his wing. On Wayland's 15th birthday, the engineer revealed a surprise to him. With the help of a few scholarships, the blacksmith had saved up enough money to send the boy to the Tsukino-Danvers Academy, where the boy could explore his natural ability for mechs.

Mechanical Frame: "Dauntless"

As of weaponry, Dauntless is unique in the fact that it solely uses its fists for combat. Its fists are installed with jet propulsion systems which add tremendous amounts of force and pressure to its punches, able to tear apart and throw enemies extreme distances. The mech's armor has been replaced with systems that add power to the mech, which doesn't provide much to power or speed, but allows much more power than a normal mech. Still has medium armor, but all locations such as joints and movement points are unarmored and free of hinder. Great mobility, allowed for advanced hand-to-hand moves to be used. There are also jet propulsion systems on the bottoms of the feet to allow for some powerful kicks, as well as speed boosters on the back of the mech that need to be charged up, when completely charged it propels the mech with huge force towards the enemy, which provides great momentum for punches.
