Wayne (Mistborn)



"The ways of Wayne are mysterious and incomprehensible. What he giveth, he can draw back unto himself. And lo, let it be written and pondered."

- Wayne

Summary
Wayne is the friend and colleague of Waxillium Ladrian, and worked with him to keep law and order.

He grew up in the Roughs, and often stole from people. He once robbed a man at gunpoint, and accidently wound up killing him, but was caught by a lawman and was put on trial, where he found out the man he killed had been a bookkeeper, charity worker, and father of three.

He was saved from execution by Waxillium, though he would still be left with PTSD and be unable to use a gun after the event. And he would pay the family of his victim blood money, half his earnings, monthly for years afterward.

He served as the deputy to Wax, helping him to apprehend criminals and became famous alongside him.

Personality
Wayne often has trouble taking things seriously and often makes inappropriate jokes, he also has difficulty understanding boundaries.

He suffers from PTSD from a time when he accidently shot a man that he tried to rob as a kid. Learning later, at the trial, that his victim was a bookkeeper, charity worker, and father of three, only furthering his already strong guilt. He currently still feels great guilt and pays the man's children half his salary in blood money, and suffers from PTSD concerning holding firearms, leaving him unable to hold a gun without his hands shaking. This is a large motivation for his use of dueling canes.

He has almost pathological need to prove that he's not a bad person, brought about by various things, in particular his murder of Allriandre's father.

He has a love for hats, seeing them as necessary for his disguises, and wearing them nigh-constantly.

He is a kleptomaniac, who pathologically stole from others throughout his life, starting in childhood and still reaching into his adulthood. He replaces the objects he steals with an object of his own, considering it a "trade" and trying to explain to others, and likely to himself as well, that the trade is fair, often through convoluted lines of reasoning.

He tends to think of people as being either his friends, or "those other people". He is extremely protective of those he considers in his inner circle, but it is hard to actually get considered as part of that circle, and if he perceives someone as "stealing" someone from him, he gets very defensive, even mean. This is one of the major reasons for his distrust and dislike for Steris, as he, subconsciously, sees her as trying to take Wax away from him.

Despite all of this, he does wish to improve.

Wax
Wax is Wayne’s best friend and partner, with him acting as his deputy.

They have a rather easygoing relationship with one another, and often engage in banter.

He feels a strong sense of dependency on Wax, and feels that he cannot go on without him.

Powers and Stats
Name: Wayne, Maxil, Abrigain

Age: 30's

Gender: Male

Classification: Lawman, Twinborn, Slider, Bloodmaker

Powers and Abilities: Disguise Mastery, Time Manipulation (Type 1) via Bendalloy Allomancy, Regeneration via Gold Feruchemy, resistance to Poison Manipulation via Gold Feruchemy

Metallic Arts
As a Twinborn he has access to Allomancy and Feruchemcy, able to burn one Allomantic Metal and also store attributes in another. Wayne in particular has access to Bendalloy Allomancy and Gold Feruchemy.

Slider
As a Slider he is capable of burning Bendalloy in order to make a Time Bubble around him where time moves far faster, giving him and those around him more time to move while everything outside moves far slower.

If any projectiles enter or leave a Speed Bubble, they would be sent off in another direction in a random and unpredictable manner, this can protect him from harm from bullets, but the bullets can also curve and hit into him or someone else in the bubble.

Bloodmaker
As a Bloodmaker, Wayne is capable of storing Health inside of Gold Metalminds, and draw upon it to be able to regenerate from various wounds.

While his regeneration is effective, it is nowhere near the level of beings such as The Lord Ruler or Miles Dagouter, for he is incapable of Compounding and pulls all of his Health directly from himself. Making it far more limited.

Resonance
As a Twinborn he should experience some form of Resonance, however, his Resonance is not known as of yet. It is considered to be quite subtle.

His Resonance has nothing to do with his acting skill.

Disguises
Wayne is a master of disguise, able to easily replicate and create accents to better serve his disguses, and can dress and act in manners to easily trick others. He is even easily able to act as people of very different walks of life, or even of very different ages or even act as a woman.

This ability has nothing to do with his Resonance.

Fighting
Wayne is very good at fighting with dueling canes. He often mixes this ability in tandem with his abilities as a Slider, trapping a foe in his bubble to fight them in one on one close quarters combat, before dropping it after defeating them and moving onto his next opponent, allowing him to seemingly fell his foes with great speed.

Due to a traumatic past experience, he suffers from PTSD and cannot use guns. Even holding a gun would lead him to tremble uncontrollably and causes him great emotional distress.
