Wayward Vagabond

The Wayward Vagabond, referred to in short as WV, is a black Skaian exile from the beta humans' session.

Appearance
WV wears grayish brown tattered rags that cover one eye and HS 685 (a mayoral sash made of black cables) and HS 700 (the label of a "MAYO" can with an "R" added to the end with red chalk).

Personality
WV is a simple, gluttonous character. Initially, WV is rather HS 245 (rude) and HS 430 (commanding), but eventually HS 509 (learns human etiquette) from a book and becomes HS 515 (much more polite) (comedically so, in fact). Despite this, he is still childish. HS 668 HS 689 HS 691 (everything), regardless of its edibility, and gleefully takes on the imaginary role of HS 685 (Mayor of Can Town).

WV HS 686 (enjoys the concept of civil democracy and being a mayor) and HS 687 (hates kings). He believes that HS 1007 (a mayor should not ever relinquish their mayoral sash) under any circumstances.

Typing Quirk
Initially, HS 253/1 (WV types in all caps). However, this may have just been because caps lock was enabled on his keyboard, because HS 439 (after accidentally hitting the caps lock button again) and disabling it, he does not re-enable caps lock. Aside from typing in all lowercase, WV uses normal punctuation.

Peregrine Mendicant & Aimless Renegade
WV thinks the Peregrine Mendicant has a HS 1410 (lovely complexion). He has a crush on her and spends much time competing with the Aimless Renegade to win PM's affections. After first meeting, AR tries to kill WV and PM for trespassing on a crime scene that he's investigating, but he relents after seeing WV has a pumpkin with a picture of Becquerel drawn on it. Afterwards, the three share food and become friends.

In the Medium

 * WV apparently HS 677 (harbors some painful memories) regarding the barcode on his wrist. HS 683 (He carries with him a trusty knife), which is actually an old mailbox flag.

Exile

 * HS 248 (WV wanders the desert wasteland) of post-apocalypse beta Earth, HS 1013 (a few hundred years) after the meteors fell. His rags become tattered and dirty.
 * HS 271 (He eventually finds the command station) at the former location of Rose's house. He uses the terminal there to talk to John Egbert in the past, HS 253 (giving him unhelpful commands).
 * After interacting with John for some time, HS 439 (WV accidentally discovers a hidden supply of food cans) and HS 509 (a book called Human Etiquette).
 * HS 682 (Without a can opener) to open the cans, HS 685 (WV settles for creating a city diorama out of the cans). He names the city Can Town and appoints himself as its mayor.
 * He explores the station some more and finds HS 688 (four miscellaneous objects): a jerrycan filled with motor oil, 12 sticks of Crayola brand chalk, a nugget of uranium, and a nugget of amber with a firefly trapped inside. HS 689 (WV eats the uranium) and HS 691 (two sticks of green chalk).
 * The still-living firefly is HS 695 (installed in Can Town's town hall to represent the light of democracy).
 * WV spends some time drawing HS 696 (roads), HS 697 (residential) and HS 697 (commercial zones), a HS 702 (blue sky) with HS 703 (many planets), and a far-off HS 704 (veil of darkness).
 * WV seems to have forgotten much of his life in the Medium, such as HS 684 (what imps are) (if he ever knew in the first place).
 * WV thinks he made up the details of Can Town's surroundings, but in fact, most of these details mirror Skaia and the various celestial bodies visible from its surface. The checkerboard terrain, blue sky, and yellow planet represent Skaia and Prospit. The four other planets represent the lands of John, Rose, Dave, and Jade. Finally, the purple planet in the veil of darkness is Derse.
 * The gear logo on the jerrycan seems to peel off between pages HS 701 (701) and HS 702 (702).
 * WV HS 707 (presses the Tab key) on the terminal's keyboard and HS 708 (reveals a hidden supply of Tab soda). HS 710 (He eagerly drinks much of it), having HS 698 (not had anything to drink in some time).
 * He experiments with the terminal some more, eventually HS 717 (entering in the HOME command), disabling the terminal and activating a countdown.
 * He sets up some cans in a pretend military formation, HS 720 (creating a chess board out of them). HS 721 (He plays chess with the cans for about 4 hours), leaving mere minutes left on the countdown.
 * He leaves the room and HS 726 (a grate closes over the exit ladder), trapping him inside the station. He then discovers the station has two other rooms, HS 730 (one of which being locked). HS 731 (He enters the only other unlocked room).
 * HS 736 (There's an appearifier in this room). WV presses the appearify button and HS 738 (summons a pumpkin with a picture of Becquerel's face carved into it). After fiddling with the controls, he summons some items from the other room, and eventually HS 750 (frees the firefly from the amber). He names her Serenity.
 * WV HS 754 (appearifies the grate keeping him trapped) and HS 755 (attempts to escape the command station) with all of his possessions (the pumpkin, ruler, trusty knife, and many cans). However, he falls off the ladder and doesn't make it out in time. The countdown runs out.
 * HS 757 (The station launches out of the ground) and HS 1005 (takes WV to the Frog Temple). However, WV cannot descend to ground level because the command station is too tall, and there is no way down.
 * Serenity conveniently finds HS 1010 (a bundle of cable) on top of one of the temple's spire's. WV attempts to appearify the cable, but the appearifier HS 1013 (somehow got reset) to April 13th, 2009. John's birthday package to Jade is appearified instead of the bundle of cable. Attached to the package is an envelope addressed to WV ("Mister Mayor") in Jade's handwriting. The envelope contains HS 1038 (a drawing telling WV to meet with the) Peregrine Mendicant (who happens to be nearby) and give her the package. The envelope also contains HS 1046 (a second envelope addressed to PM).
 * WV sets the appearifier back to his present time and HS 1015 (appearifies the cable). He uses it to repel down the side of the command station with Serenity and all of his possessions.
 * WV spots PM, but before he can give her the package, HS 1040 (he is attacked by the) Aimless Renegade from inside the Frog Temple.
 * He takes cover behind a large rock with PM. There, HS 1046 (he's able to deliver the package) and envelope as instructed.
 * WV is HS 1362 (tossed around) in the chaos. Through his scope, AR sees the drawing of Becquerel's face on WV's pumpkin. This causes him to HS 1363 (immediately surrender).
 * Night falls. The three carapacians HS 1396 (bond over WV's Tab soda and cans of rations) that have been opened using PM's sword.
 * While AR goes back into the Temple to get stuff to cook the food with, WV HS 1410 (offers to show PM the command station terminal) that lets him send messages to John. They go into the station through one of the holes blown in the side. The hole takes them to the third room in the station that was previously locked. There's a strange machine inside, but the station is low on power so they don't investigate what it does.
 * HS 1412 (They find John) in the middle of the events of HS 1358. However, PM's interests are instead drawn to HS 1413 (the pictures WV drew) on the wall in chalk. She compliments the drawings, and WV HS 1414 (gives her the chalk) as a gift.
 * WV HS 1415 (smells AR cooking food) and leaves the station to investigate. AR has HS 1450 (made a campfire) using gunpowder and parts of empty crates. They cook and eat the food from WV's cans.
 * WV uses the empty food cans, Tab cans, mailboxes, the Becquerel pumpkin, and the Human Etiquette book to HS 1500 (create a new imaginary town) called Exile Town to get PM's attention. AR builds a militia for the town out of gun rounds.
 * A command station resembling an egg suddenly HS undefined in the sky. The Windswept Questant HS 1543.
 * WV and AR HS 1608 (create a crown for WQ) made of metal from the empty cans, as a gift. However, when they give it to her, HS 1621 (she gives it to PM).

Trivia

 * For some reason, WV knows about HS 253/16 (John Cusack) and HS 253/22 (Persia) (or Persian rugs, at least).
