> ~Lewis to **Joel Neufeld**

## Summary

**Lewis Wallace** is currently the Main Protagonist of *Omen Metal*. He is good friends with **Siara Stone**, and rivals with **Joel Nefeld**. He is a student at a currently unnamed school, and is a resident of **Monstan**, his hometown in which he was born, and of **Astril**, the country in which Monstan is.

## History

**Lewis' dad** appears to be a member of the military, whether this is current or former is unknown. At some point, he got a dog named **Chester**, and joined a school where his first friend was Siara. At some point, he made it his personal dream to become a cowboy. His mother is absent from his home, suggesting that she has died at some point before Chapter 1.

## Plot

Lewis reads about **Stanley Stewart**'s legendary battle with **Aubax**, and is given homework to do about it by **Mr. Brew**. He talks with Siara about this as they leave for their respective homes after their conversation. Lewis greets his dog, Chester, happily when they return, and decides to practice his sharpshooting skills, doing decently against the wooden targets. He then goes to sleep.

Lewis walks to a building to battle against Joel using **Foam Dart Guns**. Lewis wins after a drawn out battle, and spares Joel's life, as Joel's response is to punch him. They then walk back to the school.

Lewis and Siara meet up again, and get a front row seat to see Kojiro first come to the school. After this, Lewis talks to Kojiro and makes friends with him, Kojiro not understanding what a friend is. Later, Lewis and Siara notice at the cafeteria that Kojiro is injecting himself with IVs, as well as eating rice and flavorless vitamins. Right as this seems to force the conclusion Lewis had been avoiding onto him, the news shows Hector's attack, and Lewis and Siara decide to go after him.

With the aid of Siara's mother Eilane, Lewis and Siara get to Calcukall, the city that Hector's Pandilla Gang were currently in. Eilane takes out one the guards and beckons Siara and Lewis to follow. They do, but Lewis notices Miguel carrying a box and goes to follow him. When Hector talks with Miguel, expressing his condolences for how exhausting it must have been to carry the box, he takes a **C4** out of it, Lewis realizing right there that the whole box was full of C4. Lewis then briefly fights Miguel, taking out all the guards, but then resorts to simply trying to disarm the C4 left inside the Pharmacy they had been fighting around. Lewis is attacked by Hector and asks why he does this, to which Hector responds that it is simply fun and will get recognition. Lewis is saved by Siara, who tells him he needs to see a Medical Incantate, to which Lewis agrees.

Lewis and Siara briefly talk about what had happened as Siara helps Lewis walk. He passes out soon after, as she catches him before he falls and runs for help. Later, Lewis wakes up in a hospital bed, hooked up to a form of life support. Lewis realizes quickly, possibly through intuition, that the circle on his wounded hand is a healing circle. During the healing and mitosis restoring process, he squeezes Siara's hand tightly. After the ordeal, his dad and **Hamish Harper** enter the room. Lewis' dad is quick to punish his son for his reckless behavior, as Hamish learns of the **Pandilla Gang**'s plans.

Lewis and Siara are both present when they hear the news of the Pandilla Gang's defeat.

## Personality

Lewis is often witty, friendly and quick on his feet, seemingly being very liked at the school he is in. He tries to make new friends rather quickly, and is willing to talk openly to people about various things. Even in dangerous situations, he can't help but joke, whether it's funny because of or despite said situation.

Despite at first seeming incompetent, Lewis is actually intelligent when it comes to fighting, taking advantage of his environment and waiting for his opponent to wear out. Even against opponents who he has a negative personal history with, Lewis is unwilling to cause their deaths.

This runs contrary to his killing of multiple of **Hector Ramos**' guards without hesitation, though Lewis likely knew that they would simply kill him he didn't kill them first. Lewis is kind to essentially everyone he meets, as shown when he saved Joel's life even though he was a notorious bully.

Lewis cares a great deal for his family, especially his dog, Chester. He also has a friendship with Siara that seems to run deep, as Lewis so much as getting a hand injury caused her to lash out almost animalistically at Hector, which resulted in him escaping. Lewis also refuses to believe that Kojiro could be abused by his father.

## Appearance

Lewis is a male with an incredibly light complexion, with curly brown hair and deep blue eyes. Despite being 18, he is a few inches short for his age, and rather thin. He wears a white cowboy hat with black at the bottom and a black belt around the rim, as well as a white shirt with its sleeves rolled up under a black, sleeveless overshirt, and black pants with golden buttons on the bottom of them. He wears several reddish brown belts around his waist, all of which have bullets on them as well as holsters for his Revolvers. He has pointed shoes the same color as his belts, these shoes having golden stars on their backs. Golden buttons adorn the front of Lewis' over and under shirt, and a golden button with what looks like an emerald embedded into it is fastened on his hat belt. Lewis also has fingerless gloves that are made of the same reddish brown leather as his waist belts and shoes.

## Powers and Abilities

**Human Physiology:** Lewis is a **Human**, and thus has all the abilities being a human grants.

* **Enhanced Speed:** Like most humans in Omen Metal, Lewis is able to move and react at speeds comparable to the fastest **Darts**.

**Marksman:** Though his aim isn't perfect, Lewis more often than not is able to hit non moving targets at a medium range for Revolvers.

**Quick Thinker:** Lewis is able to form rudimentary plans on the fly that somehow work, and seems to have a good awareness of his surroundings at all times, using them to his advantage constantly.

**Compassion:** Lewis usually tries to spare any enemy not actively trying to kill him in the heat of the moment, and seems to try and make others feel better when they're down. This has resulted in him having more friends than enemies.

## Weaknesses

**Human Physiology:** Lewis is a human, and thus has all the weaknesses being a human has.

* **Normal Healing Factor:** Lewis heals at the same rate as an average human. As such, even a fall from the roof of a moderately tall play structure could be crippling, if not lethal, to him.

**Aim Decreasing:** Lewis' aim gets progressively worse the further he gets from his opponent, and he has not once managed to hit a moving target, especially not when they are actively trying to avoid getting shot.

**Rash Thinker:** Lewis often makes decisions that negatively impact him, such as trying to fight **Miguel Tejedor** with a **Revolver** even though Miguel had an **M4 Carbine**, and going off on his own in the first place, which resulted in Hector stabbing his hand with his Rapier and nearly killing him.

**Naivety:** Though Lewis' wish to save people who aren't outright enemies is admirable, it also resulted in his nose being broken the one time he has been shown saving someone. Not only that, but he refuses to acknowledge the possibility that Kojiro could be abused, seemingly for no reason at all.

**Intolerance to Pain:** Lewis seems to have a very low tolerance of pain, screaming when stabbed in the hand and nearly screaming during the magical process of healing him and restoring his healing factor.

## Equipment

**Revolvers:** Lewis usually has two Revolvers that he brings with him. Some are more classical, while others are modern. It depends on what is most available at the time.

## Relationships

**Siara Stone:** Siara is Lewis' first and best friend. She's the first person he goes to talk to about various things, and they seem to have formed a deep bond. Siara became enraged upon seeing Hector about to kill Lewis, while also being concerned about his wounds. Lewis looks up to Siara as someone who's better than him, and seems genuinely interested in her martial arts classes. During his time at Calcukall's hospital, Lewis seemed to smile at Siara with affection. However, at the time, he was incredibly lightheaded and may possibly not have been thinking clearly.

**Joel Neufeld:** Joel is Lewis' rival and archnemesis in Lewis' mind, a bully who never shows compassion towards anyone. They seem to be opposed on every level, even the type of fighter they aspire to be. Lewis constantly tries to show kindness to Joel, who always responds with anger and hatred. Lewis seems to also enjoy fighting with Joel, though this is uncertain.

**His family:** Lewis appears to be on very good relations with his **father** and dog, as he greets them happily and talks happily with them as well. Apart from that, it is a pretty generic father son relationship and owner pet relationship.

**Eilane Stone:** Lewis seems to have a respect for Eilane, but there isn't much beyond that her being the mother of his best friend.

**Kojiro Kamizumi:** Lewis quickly befriended Kojiro, and wants to see him happier and not bullied. It is unknown what their relationship is beyond that, apart from Kojiro being confused at the entire thing.

**Hector Ramos:** Lewis seems to be willing to exchange banter with Hector, but largely dislikes him for his views on crimes.

**Mr. Brew:** Not much apart from a generic teacher student relationship.

**Hamish Harper:** Lewis interacts with Hamish like he would anyone else, it seems.

## Trivia

1. Lewis' inspiration is the author of the series, and therefore the owner of this Wiki. This in a way makes Lewis a self-insert, though it is not a true one-to-one comparison.
2. Lewis is similar to another character of the author's, **Jackson Holland** from *Geminae Errantium*. Both use guns, and are largely friendly. Not to mention are both essentially main protagonists in their verses. However, Jack is far more competent than Lewis, and lives in an arguably more fantastical world.
3. Lewis and his rival Joel could almost seem like two parts of the author, as the author in real life has the same coat and toy weapons that Joel used in Chapter 3.
4. Lewis speaks to Siara the most out of any character he interacts with. Kojiro, Joel and Lewis' dad are tied for second place.
