Personality: Wade is a 17-year old who believes he is the, "Voice of The People". However this is merely an excuse to act out against various forms of authority, which unfortunately caused his brother to constantly arrest him. The main victim being the V.P.D, for whom Wade hates with a passion. He is also not afraid to speak his mind, even if it gets him into trouble sometimes.
Wade can also be a little untrustworthy, forgetting to do a simple task and instead catch up on some sleep. Wade takes responsibility for his mistakes, and tries to correct them. He also has an extreme passion for architecture. His newest favorite being Beacon Academy.
Overall Wade is rebellious, lazy, but still makes up for his mistakes. He also respects authority such as teachers. Police, not so much.

From Wade's left elbow to his shoulder a tribal tattoo can be found.
Representation: The Two Brothers
Color: Silver
Semblance: Sivler Scales- Wade is able to cover his arms and hands in silver scales, increasing his offensive and defensive capabilities. Wade can also use the scales as projectiles after being broken, and throw them like throwing knives. The scales can be broken, and take quite the effort to create. It takes Wade several minutes to cover his arms and hands in the scales. The scales, if used for too long, can become rather painful to Wade and will try to become part of his skin. Luckily Wade is able to get rid of the scales easier than he creates them.
Emblem: Wade's symbol is a silver hawk, wings spread, and flying upwards.
Bio: Two brothers, one always keeping the other out of trouble, the older going as far as arresting his little brother. Things were not always like this, and the two used to get along. Things between them started to change after the unfortunate death of their parents. They were on their way to the Vale Museum with their children, but were met with an unfortunate ending. A large vehicle met them at an intersection, killing the brother's parents. The youngest, Wade, had protected the oldest with what appeared to be silver scales. The oldest, Gren, had survived and took care of Wade himself. In order to do this, Gren was forced to find a job, in his case, an opening at the Vale Police Department.
After several years, Wade began to develop a hatred for the police force. They brought no just to the death of his parents, which was no accident. This caused Wade to begin a life of crimes like stealing, vandalism, and more. Gren was forced to arrest his brother multiple times, as if it was a routine. One day however, Gren didn't come home from work. A police officer arrived at the door to explain to Wade that his brother had been ambushed by a group of gang members. Wade was then forced to live in an orphanage, at least for a little while.
Wade began looking through applications for jobs, anything to get him out of the orphanage. He stopped upon a brochure for Signal Academy, where he felt he would fit in. Wade's parents had always wanted Wade to be a Hunter, but Wade had other business to take care of first. Wade was going to find his brother's murderers. He did everything he could possibly think of whether it be eavesdropping, stealing police records, or even interrogating local thugs. After what seemed like years, Wade had finally located the gang members who had killed his brother. This resulted in a fight between Wade and three opponents, and receiving several scars and bruises. One of the scars was created by a switchblade that had sliced across Wade's back. Just when Wade was about to finish off the murderers, the V.P.D had stopped the scrimmage. Wade ran away into the shadows of the night, but the gang members were taken into custody.
Now that Wade had some-what completed his primary goal, he decided to attend Signal Academy. After years of training Wade was accepted into Beacon Academy, and this was his chance to help others unlike the police force had done for him.
