Wahl Icht (Damon)

"When humans seek perfection."

- Mr. Draco

Wahl Icht (ワール・イーヒト Wāru Īhito) is a powerful high-tech Machine Warrior of the Machina race, considered one of the few Machina Master (機械主人 Makina Shujin) out there. More than sixty years ago, Wahl was seemingly created by William Grey Wahlter who sought to create a powerful machine that could put the others in order. On the current days, Wahl has allied himself with the Alvarez Empire, rising in ranks until he became one of the Spriggan Twelve under Emperor Spriggan. On the Empire, Wahl has earned the epithet of Adjucator (審判者 Shinpansha) for his overall ways of acting and also Alchemist (錬金術師 Renkinjutsushi) because of his powers.

Appearance
As shown, even as a Machina, Wahl looks like a thin-framed muscular young man with white tonned skin. His hair roughly reaches his neck area, being quite wavy and wild at the same time while having a dark color to it, Wahl got his bangs parted to the left hanging over his left eye. Wahl's eyes are quite unique in a certain fashion, the pupils are of average size and possess a pretty green color while his eyelashes are odd as they jut out at four points. Wahl's face is quite round shaped in a way although his chin is pointy, being a Machina, he also possesses a line of piercings from the downer area of the left cheek to the right cheek. The Machina does bear a furrowed gaze which goes along with a mischievious grin for most of the time, showing off his quite sharp teeth.

The Alchemist seems to tower over most of his companions, seeing how his height stands at 6 feet while he weights incredibly 300lbs. Wahl also has some kind of nail-screw on each of his ears' lobes instead of the usual earrings. His body is shown to be quite muscular, despite the fact he doesn't need to work out or anything like that, being a machine, although he doesn't show it off it that often. However, it's due to the fact that most of Wahl's clothes were made solely for him, using his measures, that they are quite tight when being wear, sucessfully showing off his frame. Wahl does state he prefers to wear dark-themed clothes fit for someone like an Alchemist.

Indeed, such set of Alchemist's clothes is composed of basic clothing. With that, Wahl wears orange-tonned coveralls that have a harness buckled around his chest and shoulders, its collar being quite dark in color, being completed with a black-belt around his waist. Both of the shoulders of his coveralls possess the Empire mark printed on them, and Wahl also seems to have a pair of very long rubber black gloves that go all the way up his arms until they reach said marks. To finish it all, the Machina also uses a pair of long rubber black boots that reach high up on his thighs. Wahl's outfit is fit for that of an alchemist, so presumably they're resistant to chemical compounds and the like.

Personality
Being a high-tech Machina, Wahl possesses several different types of personality which he change on his own free will, notably his main persona is the impulsive one. On his usual personality, Wahl is shown to be an individual with maniacal tendencies, always having a mischievious grin printed on his face that goes along with a crazy frown. The Alchemist also may violently crackle at nearly everything he finds funny or humorous, that including the defeat of his comrades or any error made by them, as Wahl being a Machina with analysis capabilities being high unlikely to make any error. Indeed, even the taunt of his enemies or their confidence may be humorous to Wahl or even the simple sight of his targets which may make him burst out laughing randomly.

Being impulsive, Wahl also comes off as quite arrogant to both his enemies and allies-alike, referring to himself as the Great Wahl (偉大ワール Dai Wāru) or Machina Tribe's Elite (機械部族の華冑 Makina Buzoku no Kachū). He also seems to use the pronoun Ore as means of informality, possibly also as a sign of superiority. When referring to another person, Wahl prefers to use Omae which is considered to be very informal. According to his peers, Wahl has demonstrated quite some frivolity and futility in his usual self. If the Machina Master feels that any place is too quiet, he'll randomly laugh out loud while sitting in weird positions.

While laughing, Wahl may do it even louder than the normal and crouch himself down on weird positions, although he doesn't say his stomach hurts nor does he grabs it. Most of his comrades are seemingly accostumed with this type of acting as it's Wahl's most used and seemingly favourite personality, implying he does prefer to act this way as it's his true being. That's quite notable considering the fact that Machinas weren't built to be really individualistic, whereas Wahl himself likes his person the way he is.

Wahl seemingly gets bored very easily, either because there is nothing to do or because no one can amuse him enough...

He is capable of taking several heavy hits head on without being slowed down and having no visible damage at all despite his opponent's strength. Even when deep on water, Wahl can resist the immense pressure put into his body without flinching at all, his allies commenting on how durable he was for being entire after going that deep into the ocean. Depending on the strength of the attack he receives, Wahl may or not shrug them off like nothing, specially if they're imbued with lightning which he is immune to.

Assorted Others

 * Machina Physiology: Being one powerful and true Machina, Wahl obviously has all of their features. Such including the capability of analyzing an opponent completely by using only his eyes, or even use those in order to track down and lock-on targets from a distance. His tongue has a very advanced machina-magical sensor which can identify a variety of material and tastes with one simple lick, with that, his body identifies quickly any type of poison and then expels it as despite being a machina, there sure is special poisons out there for someone like Wahl. The Master Machina has a special feature where he can adapt to a lot of situations, from battle to daily scenarios, seeing how his arms can shift towards a stronger material when facing a stronger opponent. As such, Wahl may change only specific parts of his body or even his entire body, such an state he dubs as Machina Modes, notably he can also alter his personality when entering those modes, he is skilled enough to switch between modes in quick time skips such as seconds.
 * Electricity Immunity: Being a high-tech Machina Master, like his Proxy Gru Wahl is completely immune to any form of electricity, although unlike Gru Wahl can't absorb and convert it into something else via Voltex Charge or similar processes. Instead, Wahl demonstrates himself to be unfazed by being hit by any lightning attack, flinching not even one centimeter as the thunder surrounds his overall structure. In fact, Wahl may only flinch if the spell has any blunt effect to it, otherwhise he will be unaffected by the electricity effects by simply glowing and shruging it off. According to Dimaria, Wahl wasn't completely immune from the start despite being a Machina, she explains that as the Machine man has some iron parts he can also act as some sort of lightning rod and even attract thunder strikes. By being hit multiple times in his lifespan, Wahl was capable of strengthening his own body and further develop his immunity.


 * Chemical Knowledge: As demonstrated in quite a lot of occasions, Wahl possesses a vast knowledge in regards to chemical elements and the like. This comes mostly from years and years of experience as Wahl had joined many battles and even analyzed many of these materials for pure research purposes. According to himself and some of his Alchemist Pupils, Wahl has knowlegde of most if not all of the chemical elements out there, including those in the Periodic Table as he easily recalls their atomic number, electron configurations and recurring chemical properties despite not needing it much for combat at all. He also has extreme knowledge of the amounts of specific elements that can be found in specific places. Wahl states that he possesses a vast memory, being good to remember any data, as he synthetized most elements from the table.


 * Magic Barrier Particle Nullification: Wahl has shown the capability of nullifying and also erase magic barriers, specially Jutsu-Shiki type barriers in a lot of occasiations. When doing it, Wahl won't just erase the barrier, but also completely each and any kind of magic barrier particle within the effect field. It wasn't fully explained how Wahl can do it, but he implies that it has to do with sheer chemical and magical knowledge, saying his skill counts.



Magical Abilities
Immense Magical Power: Being part of the Twelve Shields of Spriggan who are said to match the Four Gods of Ishgar, Wahl is shown to possess enormous amounts of magical power. This is possible due to the immense efforts put into his creation by Doctor Wahlter as the man sought to create the strongest Machina. Even Brandish μ, a fellow Shield, comments how strong he is, comparing him to herself who has power greater than that of Reisei Senshi. Another testament to Wahl's magical power is that he was capable of creating a Machina Proxy whose magic was big enough for it to be mistaken as one of the Spriggan's Shields. According to Wahl himself, being a capable combatant and high-tech Machina gives him the capability of expanding his own magical container through sheer intensive training, his body resisting large amounts due to its powerful structure.
 * Expert Eternano Control:
 * Magical Aura (魔力の霊気 Maryoku no Reiki lit. Aura of Magical Power)

Magic
Alchemy (錬金術 (アルケミー) Arukemī): Another of Wahl's primary magics which is included within his Weakness powers, yet is separated from them in a way. Alchemy, as the name implies, incubates the basic processes of purifying, maturing, and perfecting certain objects. Wahl uses it in order to form complex and non-complex constructs alongside his Weakness magic so that he has advantage over his targets, he is shown to be capable of forming tiny and deadly bullets out of copper and zinc. The Machina Master can use either his magical power to shift into something, or then just use the surrounding environment to his advantage. In order to those processes, Wahl must have quite the knowledge about magical chemistry, as he would need to transmutate certain and basic elements. Wahl also has the incredible capability of restoring destroyed parts of his Machina body, doing so by utilizing elements which compose his structure in order to formulate and restore specific parts.
 * 9mm-Bullets Assault (9ミリメートル箇条強襲 Kyu Mirimētoru Kajōkyōshū): Wahl firstly gathers magic energy around both his palms, then he slams them on the ground although the Machina would only do such by having knowledge of the elements on the ground. The chemical process begins as Wahl uses either one or a mixture of various elements, like zinc and copper to form lots of 9MM bullets and then levitate them around as he pleases. Wahl can also alter the shape and size of his bullets depending on the material avaliable around himself. The machina is shown to possess control of all of them, being capable of firing them either in quick sucession or one at a time, controlling even their trajectory.
 * Anti-Material Magic Cannon (反素材魔導砲 Anchi-Materiaru Majikku Kyanon):
 * Super Long Distance Anti-Material Magic Cannon (超長距離対物魔導砲 (ちょうちょうきょりアンチマテリアルまどうほう) Chō Chōkyori Han-Sozai Madōhō): Wahl gathers magic power and pushes both his hands forward in an open-palm manner as various chemical processes happen around both limbs, quickly creating a long-barreled cannon that has a core and energy-reading meters. It also possesses an scope that allows Wahl to see forward no less than 400 kilometers from where he is. Once fired, the shot is shown to be quite large and bright, also possessing quite some speed being capable of travelling a distance of 400 kilometers in less than a minute. Wahl said that he could irradicate a big guild building with just one shot. The Machina seems to prefer not using it too often as just one shot is enough to slow him down for a while.
 * Railgun (レールガン Rērugan): Firstly Wahl gathers his latent energy on his shoulder while also doing chemical processes of transmutating his raw magic power into pure lead and carbonized steel that start to shape around his energy orb. Then using some silver transmutation, Wahl forms a large yet slim railgun which is manifested at his back side. It's insides made of silver which highly conducts electricity and the outsides made of lead plus steel, the energy orb in the inside. The outside parts didn't conduct electricity so that the lightning shot wouldn't be dispersed through them while the silver-inside fully conducts and concentrates it in a single shot. Wahl then shoots a devastating paylod of lightning at his opponent being powerful enough to fry them and if the enemy is powerful enough, just paralyze them, the contact causes an electrical explosion.
 * Anti-Matter Laser (対物レーザー Taibutsu Rēzā): Wahl transmutates his magical energy into steel while also shifting his latent energy into heat. The newly created silver goes out of his wrist which has been disassembled and shapes itself around the heat orb, forming a small but quite powerful laser cannon. Being made of silver, the cannon is resistant to high temperatures and thus won't melt down upon the laser's usage. Wahl then fires a rather big laser from the small cannon, travelling a considerate distance with immense speed before actually hitting their target and provoking an explosion.
 * Etherion (エーテリオン Ēterion): The surrounding ethernano of the atmosphere starts to be gathered by Wahl himself as he also focus some of his core magical power into his hands' cannons which fuse to form one which is a bit larger. Wahl does state that this would be a portable version of the True Etherion Cannon, albeit less strong and destructive for a variety of purposes including friendly fire and self-harm, its range is not as big as the true one's as well. Wahl then chemicaly transmutes some parts of his body to a very strong iron in order to resist the powerful blast caused by his cannon. Wahl had once used it to destroy a large mountain and afterwards was shown quite slowed down, a rare instance of himself.

Weakness (弱点特攻兵 (ウィークネス) Wīkunesu): Is one of Wahl's primary magics, demonstrated beforehand by Gru, Weakness basically is a magic dependant on its parent power, Alchemy, in order to form constructs. Wahl himself is capable of formulating and constructing various and various complicated forms of machinery without breaking much of an sweat, although it doesn't necessarily mean that he can't form simple weapons such as Missiles. This magic in conjunction with Wahl's machina powers, let him analyze the overall body of his opponent, acquiring numerous statistics such as their overall magic reserves or even physical things like organs. Wahl uses his lock-on abilities in order to better track down his enemies, analyze them and exploit their weak points. Even to his comrades, it's unknown as of yet how Wahl could lend or even transfer this magic to his Proxy, Gru, seeing how it is seemingly exclusive to him.
 * Reform Point (改革小数点 Kaikaku Shōsūten): A basic spell used by Wahl after he created some sort of weakness-based construct. Simply, Wahl will reconnect himself with the aforementioned constructs and completely reformulate their structure, giving them another weakness apointment and also another design if possible. Wahl can do it with ANY construct as long as they're reconnected to him and were not used.
 * Specialized Soldiers (専門兵士 Senmon Heishi): After analyzing his opponent's weakness and weak spots, Wahl will imbue his Alchemy's properties in order to create a variety of soldiers who specialize themselves in specifically countering something. For example, one soldier who uses fire magic against an ice mage. The soldiers are considered to be artificial Machinas and each of them have a magic core like normal machinas in order to employ their magic. Notably, they can also employ some kind of physical ability in order to counter the opponent, meaning they aren't made of only magic weaknesses. All of the soldiers hold some similarities to Wahl's Proxy Gru, his appearance and they can be made off of any material according to Wahl's likings. They're not suited for fighting various individuals at the same time despite the fact Wahl could use Reform Point on them.
 * Ranged Missiles (射撃ミサイル Shageki Misairu): Wahl starts to analyze various opponents or just one single target, pint-pointing either one or a variety of weaknesses as he starts to create some flying missiles by imbuing his Alchemy again. Each of these missiles will be designated after one specific weakness of a target, exemplifying, a missile created after a fire mage will contain some magical water in order to cancel the fire out. Wahl can alter the size and trajectory of each of these missiles, changing the former as if to increase the effect radius and the latter for pure fighting purposes. He can also use Reform Point by making his missiles fly back to him, an advantage as he can remotely control them.

Trivia
