## Things to note

AQUA-VOICE is the official name of the voicebank. WADE is a mascot meant to represent the voicebank if the user desires to humanize it.

## Character

WADE is a positive outgoing Beastman who likes sports. He is determined to make a mark on the world and give a voice to those who cannot.

### Etymology

WADE - "walk with effort through water or another liquid or viscous substance".
His English name is a direct remark to the difficulty of developing WADE's 3 voicebanks, especially English.

Translating his Chinese name directly into English, means:

冰(Bīng) - Ice

水(shuǐ) - Water

印(yìn) - Mark

It basically means "Ice cold watermark"

His attire typically comprises of a light blue tank top and black shorts with cyan highlights. WADE also wears dark blue shoes with shades of blue for markings. For his Beta design he has gained additional muscle mass and a grey breathing gear around his neck.
