Waylon is a rather intimidating figure, with his tan, and ridiculously muscular body that is littered with scars, the most prominent of which is above his left eye. He has long brown hair that is usually kept tied up in a pony tail, and a beard giving him a wild sort of look. Waylon generally wears dark clothing, a white dress shirt, dark trousers, black boots, and a black leather long coat that stops at his knees.
{It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.}
-William Shakespeare
Waylon can be described as a protective(if not overly), kind, sarcastic, stubborn, brave, ill-tempered, and is somewhat a greedy man, and a glory-seeker. He is very loyal, and protective of his crew. No matter how long they've served on his ship, he is fiercely loyal to them, and is easily willing to kill, or even die for them if need be. If you trust your life in his hands, he becomes like a vicious attack dog to protect you. Despite his rather intimidating appearance, he is truly a softy. He is surprisingly kind, and considerate.
He can also be very sarcastic, and usually has a smart ass quip up his sleeve. He is very stubborn, and won't give up on anything, or admit he's wrong. This is both a blessing, and a curse. He is extremely brave, and is generally fearless, as he will not hesitate to jump head first into danger, and always speaks his mind. Despite his rather kind disposition, he has a temper, and when angered, he is not to be trifled with. If you thought he was a vicious attack dog when his crew is threatened, he becomes like a vicious tiger mixed with a gorilla when angered. So it's best to stay on his good side.
He is fairly greedy, and is infatuated with the idea of treasure, as well as fame, and glory it would bring him. Every since he could remember he has dreamed of finding that one big treasure that'd bring him all the infamy, and glory in the world, and too prove that he is better than he was born to be. This is his main driving force. He is also somewhat pessimistic.

- Combat- Waylon is extremely skilled in combat.
- Strength- He is also very physically strong, and is able to at least lift twice his own weight.
- Agility- He has great agility, and is naturally quick, and nimble(surprising given his size), and is able to perform parkour-like moves.
- Marksmanship- He is a fairly good shot with most weapons, and is able to easily pick up any type of weapon, and quickly become familiar with it.
- Swordsmanship- He is extremely skilled swordsman, and is able to wield even the most unbalanced of blades with expert ease.
- Pistol Sword- This sword is rather unbalanced due to having a pistol built into it, but Waylon is able to wield it with relative ease. He typically uses it as a sword, and usually uses the pistol as a last resort, or a surprise attack.
- Pistol- He carries this pistol on him at all times, and is deadly accurate with it.
- Knife- He also carries at all times a knife with a brass knuckle handle, and a skull piece on the end of it.

Waylon has never known any sort of luxury. He was born, and raised in the slums of Ursitrova. His mother died giving birth, and his father was left to raise him by himself. At first, his father tried to stay on the straight, and narrow, a difficult thing for someone living in Ursitrova. But the bills began pilling up, and in a town like Ursitrova there are more unsavory opportunities then there are legitimate ones. So his father became a pirate. Despite the cutthroat lifestyle of piracy he did his best to raise Waylon right, and be a loving father, and hopefully keep him out of this life.
His father would be gone weeks at a time, and Waylon would have to stay at his neighbors until he returned. So from a young age Waylon had to learn to take care of himself. Despite not seeing his father a whole lot, they had a good relationship. He knew his father was doing his best, but still they were scraping just to get by. He would be forced to have a single loaf of bread to last him an entire week, sometimes even longer. But then came the job of a lifetime, a job that would set them for life, and all his father had to do was kill one person and they'd have the life they always wanted. The High Councilor himself hired his father to kill the Empress.
His father snuck onboard of the ship that was transporting her majesty back from Sararnini, and assassinated her. He barely managed to escape with his life. But when he went to collect his reward he was betrayed, the High Councilor had his father killed to tie up any loose ends, and thus left a fourteen year old Waylon an orphan. But the Councilor didn't know that he had a son, and that Waylon's father anticipated this, and made sure a message got to Waylon telling him what happened in case the worse came. When he found out, he was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Alone, Waylon had to figure out a way to get by, so with no opinions left Waylon had to work for D'arcy Mullin. During this time, Waylon grew more, and more resentful of his hometown, and wanted nothing more to leave. Which he managed to do when he was seventeen, when he left Ursitrova firmly behind him. He moved to the capital. He expected this to be a better life for him, but he was wrong. He ended up in the Earth District, and not much changed, he just traded one slum for another. The thing that did change was that he was looked down upon because of where he was from, and ended up segregated among the segregated.
This sparked a fire inside him, he was gonna prove to everyone of his worth. He began working like a dog, odd jobs, and the occasional underground cage fight were the ways he earned enough money to buy his very own ship, and find the treasure he's always dreamed of. And he did it. It took years, but he made enough money to buy his own ship, the Anima Caeli. He eventually found him a crew, and is now setting his sights on treasure.
