DWN-016 Wood Man



=DWN-016 - Wood Man=

Wily's eighth Robot Master, who prides himself on being one of his maker's favorite creations. He is made nearly entirely of hinoki cypress wood, which, while making him in some ways more fragile than the others, does grant him some unique positive attributes.





WARNING: The following information is not neccesarily canon.

BackstoryEdit
Wood Man was built for combat, his strengths lying in outdoor camouflage and physical power. In addition to this, he was given a sheild ability to help cover some his weaknessess. Yet despite all his efforts, he was overtaken by Rockman.

The failure was a huge blow to his self esteem, and when the third generation was built, it severely hurt him. Dealing with feelings of abandonment and letting his beloved father down, he internalized his negative emotions and tried to focus on a facade of cheerfulness, which he uses as a coping method to this day.

Eventually he would get over any resentment towards the newer gens and see them as family, though not as closely adored as his line.

Though he grew to understand and accept his father's actions, he found it hard to watch him continue to fail in his endeavors as he grew older and weaker. To add on to that, his line grew apart, and his eldest brother fell to malfunctions. Unable to stand the pain of the situation, Wood fled for some years' time.

Though he feared what he would find upon returning, the knowledge that he abandoned his family weighed heavily on him and he made his way home what is now a year ago. Since then he has tried to be a good brother and son, simply taking life day by day and enjoying his hobbies. These hobbies include gardening, whittling and woodcarving, various crafting for gifts to give, bird watching, rewatching videos he's taken of his brothers and father, helping around the fortress, and terrorizing the living daylights out of Pump Man.

He still struggles with his father's state of health and any percieved conflict within his line, but his guilt and love keep him close to them at all times.

PsychologyEdit
Wood Man is an intensely emotional bot, easily moved to tears by any extreme emotion. He is extremely loyal to Wily and the second gens, and to a lesser degree the other Wily aligned bots.

While he is usually calm and cheerful, he holds a lot of sadness and regret inside. That being said, he is also prone to bouts of childlike wonder and excitement when it comes to nature, especially a newly sprouted seed or an organic creature (specifically birds.) Not to mention his glee when he is made aware of the presence of breadsticks, one of the only foods he will break his rule about not eating before it's beyond expiration.

Though Heat is the "kid" of the line, Wood too lives up to the baby brother aspect of being last activated. He tries to emulate his brothers in various aspects, adoring and looking up to each one, and will go to great lengths to earn praise from them. His family's happiness is a large part of his own.

One big point of interest is his change in attitude when angered. Though normally seeming to be a veritably harmless (if bumbling) bot, when set off, he shows why the Wily name really does suit him. If anyone insults Wily to his face, he makes quick work in warning them to stop. He has been shown to react violently when his father's name is sullied, as seen with his interactions with Pump Man.

Other sore spots include his brothers, extended family, and matters of nature. He hates the thought of plants or animals being made to suffer, though his brothers escape any ill feelings on that account. However, he will put up with more offensive remarks and displays from those aligned with Wily, rather than Light bots or those who are unaligned (Such as Pump.)

He has no qualms about his size, shape, or visage. He loves the way he is built, as it is a gift- being given his image by his father, and by Flash as well.

On that note, the big guy has a bit of a pinocchio complex. Though he won't change too much of his given body, he longs to be more "human" and wishes deeply to be "a real son" to Wily.

==Relationships Edit  == Wood has a strong net of family and friends, easily welcoming ties to other bots who share his interests. Given that he's been away for quite a while, he's not as well acquainted with the newer generations of robots. Nonetheless, he feels affection for all his younger cousins. §   Metal: Wood of course adores and   idolizes his eldest brother, holding him on a high pedestal despite his having gone haywire. He cherishes each kind word from his commanding line member and is very much relieved that he is now stable.

 §  Air: Though Air is often the one who chastises Wood the most for his carelessness or overexcitement, he loves Air with all his heart. Plus he makes killer breadsticks. The two share a deep passion for ornithological matters, even if that's about all they really have in common.

 §  Bubble:  He has a deep appreciation for what he percieves to be independence in Bubble. Wood himself tried to imitate that more self sufficient way during his long stay away from home, but ultimately found it far too difficult to bear. He still looks up to Bubble, seeing him as a strong and kind older brother. He doesn't seem to realize Bubble's own struggles with self-esteem or social interaction.

 §  Quick: Quick is another of his deeply beloved brothers. He is also the only one he has shared his reasons for his long disappearance with. This trust and communication they share has bonded them further, where Quick's hasty and impatient demeanor may have, and has had an effect on how they spend time together.

Though Crash can be withdrawn, Wood is extremely thankful for any chance he gets to spend time with his be-frecked brother. He looks up to the amount of destruction Crash is able to produce, and doesn't look down on him at all for all the time his brother has spent without the convenience of hands. He would glady feed him bag after bag of doritos if Crash's pride allowed it.

All joking aside, he greatly admires his brother's abilities in the fields of repair and creation. While he can replicate these traits on a small scale, doing minor repairs and crafting items, he looks up to Flash's adeptness with wonder. He often fears being a nuisance to Flash, not being as careful with his body as he should. He feels very indebted and appreciative of all Flash does for him and their family.

He surprisingly holds no bitterness in the least for all the times he's been scorched, his garden obliterated, or his things incinerated. It's a quirk of his personality, but he honestly believes Heat's guise of childlike innocence, ready to shrug all of his misdeeds off as boisterous play. He loves giving the little spitfire piggy-back rides and praises his artwork with true admiration. Wood is fricking delusional I swear.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> §  Search Man: Percy- Upon returning home, he quickly buddied up with the louder of the two Searches.He didn't realize at the time that Percy was such a... unique bot. Willing to overlook all his crudeness and disrespect, the incident in which the island's forest caught fire shook him deeply. This event caused him to break off the friendship, having filled him with anger and fear for his life. After a while, though, he began to regret his harshness and dropped the malice towards Percy, although they have yet to reconcile.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;">Ivan- Wood has respect and warmth for him, willing to lend his time to the meeker Search if needed. He wouldn't mind spending more time with Ivan, who keeps to himself for the most part. If nothing else, he values his friendship with Ivan just as much as the one he wishes to repair with Percy,

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in0in0.0001pt0.25in;text-indent:-0.25in;line-height:15.75pt;border-style:none;padding:0in;background-position:initialinitial;background-repeat:initialinitial;"> §  Pump Man: The list just wouldn't be finished without this one, would it? Wood has such strong contempt for Pump that slaughtering his caretakers seemed like fair retribution for the other's lack of ability to hold his tongue. The two started butting heads shortly after Wily's heart attack. After destroying Pump once, he saw that harm to the bot directly wouldn't teach him the lesson not to defy him, so he resorted to terrorizing him in other ways. For a while he took up watching, until Wave's request swayed him to eventually quit. Then the two had their... experience during the boat prom, which further drove Wood to detest Pump. After being pushed over the line again, Wood followed through on his promise to "destroy everything that is" Pump by utterly trashing his place of work and those who worked alongside him. Only time will tell what lies in store for this pair of enemies.

He can't- I mean seriosuly, he CAN'T tell that Reggae is actually that horrible. He's got it in his mind that Reggae is a sweet birdy who is simply programmed with naughty language as a little quirk. He just... he loves this dick bird, and I don't know why. One of his biggest dreams is to keep Reggae as his own pet, to love and squeeze and sing terribly to.

He is devoted to the utmost, and will do absolutely anything his father asks him to do. His mind is conflicted with the knowledge that Wily is a frail old man with heart problems, and with the stubborn ingrained thought that Wily is invincible and will never die. He will fight for his father's honor, and wears the Wily name with pride. He seriously loves his daddy guys.
