 — Wall-Z

**Wall-Z** is a name given to a Gen 2 WALL-E Robot from the United States. A bot who had an uneasy life, he turned to a life of crime just so he could have a better life for himself and others. He, and six other robots, would later "form" The Gang to undo what ASWS has done to the timeline.

## Background

### History

#### Life of Crime

Wall-Z did not have an easy life. His smaller overall size did not allow him to do partake in most jobs and many would bully him for his color scheme. Even after receiving the Gen 2 WALL-E unit upgrade, he constantly got rejected from every job application for numerous reasons masking the discrimination against Wall-E robots like him. Seeing little alternative to his situation, he resorted to a life of crime to go by in life.

#### Imprisonment and later prison escape

He started as a petty thief and later a serial housebreaker, soon he started to be more bold in his crimes using his small size to his advantage. His notoriety rose quickly and started to gain the attention of many criminals, many of which employ his services. This unfortunately lead to his arrest and was sent to a robot prison to serve a sentence of 4 years.

While in prison, he started to develop a fighting style focusing on speed over brute force. Which he used primarily to defend himself from other robots in prison. As the months go by, he surveys the prison's layout and guard patterns to plot an escape attempt with the only hurdle being the magnetic track cuffs installed on him which, his attempts to remove them caught the attention of the guards and as punishment, he was restrained to the floor of his cell every night, ending any hopes of his plans succeeding.

On a random night as he stood still trying to pry the cuffs off of him, they were suddenly deactivated and his cell door unlocked in front of him. Initially taken by surprise, he quickly took advantage of this and enacted his escape attempt which he almost escaped undetected until he triggered the fence's motion sensor. Where he quickly fled to the nearest town from the prison as police are dispatched.

#### Gaining his abilities

Wall-Z breaks into a museum to hide from the police that are trying to find him. As he hides in the museum, he carefully walks around and sees the many artifacts he could be stealing but figured not to at the moment. Suddenly a mysterious voice starts emanating from the museum speakers, both spooking Wall-Z and alerting the police to his location. The voice tells him to take and wear what appears to be a bland looking cape off the wall.

Wall-Z refuses to do so initially until the voice tells him that it was him who helped him out back in the prison and that the cape will change him for the better. He hesitantly wears the cape and in a few moments, gained new abilities on the spot but due to not knowing how how said abilites worked, he started to levitate and helplessly spin in the air. He quickly regained his bearings and leveled out and landed back on the ground and as the police barge into the room he is in, he seemingly disappears followd by a loud crashing noise, when in reality Wall-Z had run extremely quicky through the wall.

Wall-Z, stunned by his newfound abilities and from running through the wall, decides to hide somewhere isolated while he gathered his thoughts. He soon sworn to himself to only steal with no casualties unlike his crimes that came before and from coming from a low income neighborhood, decided to start sharing his loot to help out his community.

#### Crime spree

Wall-Z started a nearly unstoppable crime spree that lasted for for two years and despite the police's efforts in catching him by various means, he seemingly evades arrest even in cases he was cornered by the police. This had increased his notoriety to infamy among the country, although the population had mixed reactions to Wall-Z's actions of crime he has committed no acts of violence were done. Despite his infamy, the residents in his local neighborhood were more than welcome to let Wall-Z stay and did not reveal his location to the authorities.

#### Unexpected Situation and savior

One day, Wall-Z received a tipoff of a high value item that he could steal which is located in a facility. He waited till night time before breaking into the facility. Crawling through the ventilation system, he arrives in an large room where there was nothing but an armored turret. He approaches the turret to inspect it and figure out how to move it, before he could do so however, the turret unexpectedly activates knocking Wall-Z away. Before Wall-Z could stand up, the turret fires an adhesive payload at his tracks, gluing him to the ground.

Assuming the adhesive was what he had faced before, he tries to fly up only to be unexpectedly pulled back down covering his tracks with more adhesive in the process. He attempts to fly upwards as hard as he can but before he could gain any height, the turret fires another payload, this time covering his body and pinning him to the floor. In a panic he tries to pull himself off the floor but can barely move, in a desperate attempt he uses all his strength to pry himself off the floor but runs low on power shortly after.

Despite being low on power, he still tries to break himself free but to no avail and quickly accepts that he is returning to prison as he hears some doors open. To his surprise however, it was a robot named Spitfire who Wall-Z knows is not police. Spitfire recognizes Wall-Z and gloats over his predicament, all while she deactivates the turret and takes a laser cutter to free Wall-Z from the adhesive. She tells Wall-Z to just go. Wall-Z was stunned but was too tired to ask why and with his remaining energy, flees from the way he came.

After returning home, Wall-Z was shaken but humbled from the ordeal, being unable to properly sleep for days on end as he kept thinking of the events from that day.

#### First encounter with Reece

At some point, Wall-Z's crime spree had reached Kobloc City. Although more cautious than before, he got cocky and got himself locked within a vault after he triggered the alarm within a bank he snuck into. He promptly ripped the door apart from the inside and by the time he got the vault door open, a robot armed with a baton and a security guard robot standing before him. Even though Wall-Z faintly recognizes Reece and Zeve, he still fought them regardless.

Initially Reece had the upper hand due to his higher innate strength, but Wall-Z quickly turned the fight to his favor with his speed and innate flight ability. Zeve tried hitting Wall-Z with her stun cannon but he was too fast for her. That however was enough of a distraction for Wall-Z to be targeted and immobolized by an adhesive security turret. He froze in fear from the trauma from his previous encounter, leaving him open for Zeve to line up a shot on him.

Wall-Z quickly snaps back to reality and tries to fly out of the adhesive but is unable to much to his dismay. Noticing Zeve is about to fire her cannon, he tricks her into firing prematurely and as soon as she does, he flies up as high as he can and uses the projectile to burn away the adhesive holding him. It however shortly struck a support collum with the whole building shaking violently. Wall-Z fled the scene with gold bars in his internal compartment before the building collapses.

#### Restored Memories

After subsequent encounters with Reece and Zeve to which he noticed Zeve's changed behavior, Wall-Z finds himself cornered along the shores of Lake Superior. Reece attempts to subdue him with makeshift adhesive grenades he had created, while the grenades either missed or Wall-Z deflected some back at Reece, some of which detonated near him. Being cocky, he taunts Reece only to find that his cape has also been caught in some adhesive.

After freeing his cape, he was caught off guard where Zeve manages to land an adhesive grenade on Wall-Z's face causing him to lose his balance and fall into the lake. As he sinks into the lake the adhesive clears from his face and he attempts to fly out of the water, only to realize he is unable to do so and quickly panics as he helplessly flails and as his vision fades he sees a shadowy glimpse coming into the lake.

Mere seconds later, Wall-Z regains his consciousness and finds himself out of the lake and in front of Reece where shortly after he had a flash of memories from a previous timeline where the same bot saved him. Being confused to the situation, Reece explained everything and was in complete shock. While Reece encouraged Wall-Z to continue, he was initially hesitant. Though after some clarification he agreed and flew off.

#### Teaming up once again

Some time after, Reece, Zeve and Wall-Z were chilling in a café discussing their next move. They overhead a news broadcast regarding a breakout of an ASWS facility involving a group of robots deemed rogue, Reece wants to meet the escaped robots but Wall-Z was opposed to it, not wanting to risk their own safety. Reece went ahead anyway and in order to maintain some cover, Wall-Z was forced to follow Reece at a much slower pace along with Zeve.

By the time Wall-Z and Zeve caught up to Reece, he was caught in some adhesive from his brief fight with the escaped bots who turned out to be Vohantex, VOTE-X Abrams and Spitfire. After some cleaning up, Vote-X suggests they should go in a group though Reece was against it due to his lone-wolf nature. The bots manage to convince Reece to go along with the idea with Wall-Z pitching in strongly.

#### Acquiring a new base and home

Needing a base to call home, the group initially tried finding a location suitable for them. Vote-X then remembers a massive truck ASWS had stored in a facility not far from where they are and suggest to use that as their base, everyone agrees and heads to steal the truck. Despite a botched clearing of the security in the facility, they manage to get away with the truck though not before causing mass infrastructure damage in the city.

ASWS took the opportunity to label the bots as terrorists and refers to them as "The Gang" on live news. Wall-Z was particularly soured by the news as he already hates his own criminal reputation. After a brief fight over the position of leader between Spitfire and Reece with the former winning easily, Wall-Z made himself comfortable in their new base.

#### Thompson's arrival

After numerous missions, The Gang found out they require a smaller means of transport as the truck's immense size limits their ability to deploy. Vote-X remembers about Thompson and invites him to join them. As they wait for his arrival, The Gang test out the new weapons Vote-X had installed. Due to Vote-X's fumbling, he caused the new mortar to target them with adhesive shells and despite his abilities, Wall-Z severely underestimated the shell's blast radius and got covered in a thick layer of adhesive.

In a state of trauma induced panic, Wall-Z desperately tries to fly out but is unable to break free from the thick adhesive and almost runs out of power from his struggles. Vohantex who happened to be in close proximity to Wall-Z manages to calm him down with reassurance he will be okay and they will get out of the situation soon enough. To their luck, Thompson arrives soon after and manages to deactivate the targeting systems and using his abilities, slowly pulls the bots out of the adhesive one by one. When Thompson was going to pull Vohantex out, he opted to wait and insist to get Wall-Z out first instead.

After the whole ordeal, Wall-Z thanks Vohantex for helping him keep calm despite him panicking caused by his trauma, with Vohantex offering to help Wall-Z understand adhesives better and to ease his trauma whenever he can.

### Physical Description

Being a Gen 2 WALL-E Robot, he has an updated appearance over a Gen 2 WALL-E Robot. Unlike a normal Gen 2 however, he is different than he is primarily made of aluminum and titanium as opposed to steel, giving him less overall weight and also in turn immunity to magnets. Also as with other Gen 2 WAll-E robots, his mouth is holographically projected.

His cape he wears all the time is primarily yellow and is made of a fabric with mystical properties which grants him the various abilities he posses. This also somewhat caused Wall-Z to physically "stand" more than a typical WALL-E Robot.

His overall color scheme is a green tint with yellow being the second most prominent.

## Personality

Wall-Z is a cocky and reckless bot, stemming from his abilities. Often overconfident when he goes on for long crime sprees which often gets him into an undesirable situation and relies quite a bit on his abilities to get him out of trouble. Wall-Z however only commits the crimes he did solely out necessity for his own survival due to being made fun of for his small size. He does care for others such as him sharing his stolen gains with his own community.

Wall-Z later developed a fear of adhesive security cannons after his first encounter with one. While it humbled him regarding keeping his guard up, it traumatized him which still persist even after he regained his memories. This extends to being in the presence of adhesive substances regardless if he is caught in it or not or how strong it is, causing him to freeze up for a short while before he snaps back to reality which can cost him precious seconds.

After regaining his memories, he developed a severe distain of his criminal reputation, so much so that he goes out of his way to clean up his reputation even if it means he has to go against any friends he made in the criminal underworld. He will however use it to his advantage should the opportunity arise, mostly to draw certain targets into the open.

### Abilities

Ever since he got his cape, he has been able to run at incredibly high speeds (as awkward as it may appear). He can easily reach up to 2685 MPH (4321 KM/H) and can easily run backward at the same speed. He can also stop equally as quickly as it is to accelerate up to top speed. The cape also allows him to fly at a speed of roughly 3836 MPH (6174 KM/H). Due to his immense speed, many of his enemies or those who want to stop him would use weapons to slow him down, ranging from gravity cannons, grappling hooks, and most notably, adhesives of all types (from the super sticky to the super stretchy type).

While the cape he wears also increases his strength that is enough to rip apart titanium fences and kick down security doors off their hinges, despite this, he is not able to brute force himself free from adhesives unless he takes flight which would easily break the adhesive's grip. Though this is not possible with certain adhesives such as Adhesive-25A or anything stronger. The cape ceases to work as intended underwater which may render Wall-Z helpless underwater, causing the cape to get wet will not cause the same effect, however.

The cape also heightens his reflexes significantly, so much so that he can easily dodge bullets from a distance. He also utilizes his heightened reflexes in hand-to-hand combat though he lacks and proper knowledge nor experience of actual martial art skills. Wall-Z can also produce a near invulnerable shield for a brief second via the Insta-Shield move, a move that Wall-Z picked up when fighting various ASWS Enforcers.

Wall-Z is also a master at stealth, so much so he could sneak in and sneak out of ASWS owned facilitiesm ones that are considered having one of the best security with state of the art motion detectors, sound detectors, and adhesive cannons. When he eventually joined The Gang he uses this to sneak into players no other bot (aside from Thompson on a few occasions) can venture undetected. He is also an escape artist of sorts, even though his only known escape from prison was assisted by an outsider.

## Relationship

### Reece

Initially, the two were rivals due to Reece's vigilantism. Though once the two regained their memories (Reece regained his earlier) the two quickly became best friends, almost like brothers. Wall-Z always had Reece's back when in combat and usually is trusted upon for recon.

Reece is also rather protective, sometimes too overprotective at times. This has resulted in Wall-Z sometimes arguing with Reece about his own safety, in time however Reece learned to have faith in Wall-Z's abilities and not to worry so much about his own safety.

On occasion, the two train each other in hand to hand combat, while Reece often comes out the victor Wall-Z uses this experience to enhance his overall combat skills.

### Zeve

Zeve finds Wall-Z rather annoying but not because of his personality, instead mostly due to his recklessness and sustaining more injuries when compared to the others. Still, she is willing to put up with his cocky attitude. Zeve also cares about Wall-Z's safety, though not as overprotective as Reece.

### VOTE-X Abrams

VOTE-X and Wall-Z are great buddies and both respect each other. Wall-Z is rather grateful that VOTE-X Is on their side knowing that he could potentially use his engineering abilities to exploit the gang's weaknesses including Wall-Z's vulnerability to stronger adhesives. Wall-Z has often stolen ASWS materials for VOTE-X Abrams to use in his inventions, experiments as well as possibly reverse engineer certain things.

Later down the line, VOTE-X develops an upgrade for Wall-Z that makes him immune to any adhesive, although the upgrade has to be reapplied every so often because Wall-Z runs so fast which causes rapid degradation.

### Vohantex

Given their history before the VU, Wall-Z doesn't really have much initial trust in Vohantex despite his intentions to not attempt to stick him when not on mission. Still, Wall-Z effectively uses him as a landing pad of sorts whenever he gets exhausted for a while due to Vohantex's massive size and rather flat head.

Being knowledgeable of adhesives, Wall-Z usually seeks Vohantex to know how certain adhesives work to understand them better, and in turn, Wall-Z teaches Vohantex certain techniques he could use in combat mostly to utilize his huge size to his advantage. Vohantex is also usually the first bot to try and calm Wall-Z down should he get caught in adhesives, this lead to increased trust between the two with Wall-Z sometimes seeking comfort with Vohantex regarding his own trauma with adhesives.

### Spitfire

Wall-Z still has a grudge against Spitfire despite the fact he no longer is vulnerable to magnets. Still, the two always watch each other's backs while in the air and even on some occasions have taken hits for each other. Though perhaps due to loneliness or just not many bots who could fly, he usually talks to Spitfire about any issue he does not want to bring up to Reece.

## Thompson

Despite the young age of Thompson, the two quickly became friends and usually plays around with him. On occasion, the two would be sent for recon and the two work well together making use of their advantages they both offered. When outside of combat, the two have occasionally raced each other which caused some competitiveness between the two.

## Trivia

* Wall-Z is faster than the world's fastest manned aircraft, the SR-71 Blackbird.
	+ Wall-Z is however not faster than the world's fastest aircraft, the X-15.
