woe autism be upon ye

scaramouche character of all time forever. he has the worst mommy issues you've ever encountered. the mommy in question doesn't even consider herself a mother. he let a guy medically torture him for centuries for their mutual benefit. he lost 2 found families in quick succession and crashed out so hard he permanently altered the course of a nation's history. he eventually formed another found family with the child-god he was trying to kill the week before. he has a superiority complex. he tried to kill himself twice onscreen. he's a robot who's cycled through every possible opinion on humanity and his lack thereof. he's good with kids. he looks permanently 16. he's emotionally volatile AND emotionally repressed. he's nameless. he has 7 names. he's a war criminal. he's a college student. he's a mech pilot. he's even transgender

he's a victim of horrific long-term manipulation. for that whole time he perpetuated the cycle of abuse as hard as he could. his creator deemed him too fragile; he went on to spend much of his life taking pride in the level of suffering he could endure. he has probably every kind of ptsd imaginable but that honestly barely even begins to explain what his problem is. he's an antitheist. he almost became god. he went on missions to hell. this is a background detail mentioned only in passing he has a canon catsona. he's nice to old ladies. he's supernaturally beautiful and also a tsundere. if self-sabotage was a category at the olympics he'd win gold. he kinned a sad origami dragon so hard it changed the course of the entire narrative

i can keep going. he drinks black coffee. he sewed a tiny replica of his most innocent self to keep under his hat. when people started forgetting his friend's existence he automatically assumed it was his fault somehow. he was a prototype, meaning he was never really supposed to be a god in the first place. he nearly managed it anyway. he can see the aranara. he's still the only vision wielder capable of unassisted flight that we know of. he's like if a fallen angel was also a machine and it hated you personally. he walks around acting suspicious as hell at all times and counts on everyone being too confused by him to question it. somehow this works

he sunk-cost-fallacy'd so hard for so long that finding out his worldview was based on a lie caused him to factory reset the entire universe. his main arc is about learning to connect to others again & he gave up his best shot at revenge to save a friend. he's referred to someone as a friend one (1) time and tried to deny it 10 minutes later. wanderer is the most empathetic person you will ever meet AND the meanest AND the most aloof. AND ☝️ He's a 5 year long bohemian rhapsody reference.
