Walter Yang

:"Coming through! Outta my way, bro! We're hittin' top-top-top speeds!"
Walter 'Wingz' Yang is the never-forgetful always-moving messenger of the UNWD, and is the 52nd agent.
== Character ==
=== Appearance ===
Walter is tall and brawny, made mostly of lithe athletic muscle. He has dark grey hair, combed back. He wears a pink vest with the UNWD insignia on the chest, a grey utility sash, darker pink trousers, rollerblades and gliding wings. He also wears a visor.
In his 2020 reference update, he is also depicted wearing black fingerless gloves.
=== Personality ===
An adrenaline addict with an extreme personality, he's exciteable, fast-moving and very reckless. He becomes restless easily, and strongly dislikes boring acts. He grows very impatient when his plans don't work, often performing the same act over and over until he succeeds.
He has a tendency to latch onto 'cool' agents and try to emulate them to gain their respect - namely James Blond.
=== Skills/abilities ===
Fitting for his daredevil nature, he is hardy and fearless - with a little determination, he can overcome any obstacle by speed-skating, flying, wrestling or pole vaulting. He will not stop until he overcomes the obstacle in his path, even if it's painfully obvious that his method is... flawed. UNWD Group Coordinators have said:
:"If Juggernaut Solaris is a bulldozer, and Grav Guy is a wrecking ball, Yang is a chisel: if he hits just right, he'll break through right away, but even if he doesn't, he'll keep on hitting - no matter how many strikes it takes."
Although he lacks concentration, he can hyper-focus on single tasks, and lacks an ability to naturally forget information. He also cannot feel pain from the neck down, and is trained to withstand extreme pressure, making him extremely hard to interrogate. He has total-recall memory and cannot naturally forget information, making him an extremely adept messenger.
== History ==
Early during Yang's childhood, his father walked out and abandoned the family with no warning. Although this affected Walter's older brother Yannick more intensely, Walter did not understand the event, plagued afterwards by a fear of rejection and abandonment.
As a young adult, he took up extreme sports, as well as working part-time as a courier for All-American Awesome. Shortly after being fired, he suffered a severe injury - while abseiling, a nasty fall caused him to damage some nerves, resulting in him becoming incapable of feeling pain from the neck down. Although he was wheelchair-bound for three years, with rigorous physical therapy (and very little sleep) Yang gradually recovered his mobility.
His incredible recovery led him to be scouted by the UNWD, as well as a win in a 'Pi-Eating Contest', wherein competitors had to eat large quantities of pie while also recounting as many digits of pi as they could. While most other competitors dropped out within hours - after either forgetting numbers or being unable to consume more pastry - Yang continued to happily recite and eat for eighteen full hours. He in fact only stopped reciting pi when the UNWD showed up in a helicopter and he broke his streak to say "Oh my glob, that's gnarly-gnarly-gnarly, dude", referring to Agent ? dropping from a jet.
After confirming his perfect memory and extreme agility, the UNWD offered him a job as a messenger and scout, as well as occasionally as a combat agent and intel gatherer. He was seen escaping the remains of London when the zopran complex was detonated beneath the city.
== Trivia ==
* He has an intense sweet tooth, and is entitled to a lifetime's supply of cheesecake, courtesy of Big Prize Enterprise.
* His speech patterns involve a lot of repetition, often tripling certain words or phrases, and he uses the word 'bro' a lot.
* Because of his total recall memory, he mostly delivers directions and messages, not material packages. Post Man is in charge of delivering those. This ability also makes him more resistant, though not immune, to Mindwipe's proximity effects.
* His appearance is largely reminiscient of James Blond's - the visor and swept-back hair - due to his idolisation of the senior agent.
