Wander

Name: Wander Gender: Male ♂️ Species: Star Nomad Age: Over 2000 years old (Roughly) Occupation: Intergalactic space traveler

Wander has a very friendly, sweet, nice, kindhearted, and lovable personality, though others, notably Lord Hater, find his boundless energy and optimism to be very annoying. He is also somewhat flighty and easily distracted, but always well-meaning, with a very strong moral center. Though he can be naive, Wander is shown to be very witty and clever when he needs to be, and is capable of problem-solving on the spot and outsmarting his adversaries with little effort. Wander likes everyone he meets and always sees the good in people. He used to be the same way he is with Lord Hater with "Major Threat."

Wander aspires to explore different worlds, try new things, and help people have fun and live free, often clashing against the tyrannical aspirations of Lord Hater and his army of Watchdogs' evil reign. Wander likes making people happy and jumps at the chance to help anyone out whenever he can. He and his best friend Sylvia travel leisurely all throughout the galaxy, often getting themselves into exciting and dangerous situations.

In the episode "The Wanders," the key aspect of Wander's personality is a small frightened child who is completely helpless -- the Zen aspect of his personality states that "The helper seeks to help because he knows what it is to be helpless," indicating that Wander's relentless desire to help others is due to having been alone and helpless himself as a child, thus explaining his boundless altruism and obsessive-compulsive need to befriend and help anyone he comes across whether they be good or evil. Without this helpless aspect, Wander becomes a daring and heroic individual who will stop at nothing to vanquish evil.

Wander is a somewhat short, furry orange humanoid character wearing a floppy green hat adorned with a gold star charm, black and gold socks, and blue shoes with black stripes and white laces.

-Magic hat: Wander's hat contains a plethora of useful items, though it is known to only give the user merely what they need, as opposed to what they actually want. He sometimes uses it as a sleeping bag.

-Banjo: Wander's banjo is his usual instrument of choice, though he has been shown to know how to play several other ones.

-Orbble Juice: Wander uses orbble juice to create large bubbles which he and Sylvia use for transportation through outer space and otherwise.

Musical Talent: Wander is known to have fair musical talent. He has an excellent singing voice and breaks into song on many occasions. He is talented on the banjo, which he is most often seen playing. He can also play the drums, kazoo, guitar, piano and the saxophone.

Stamina/Speed: Wander has boundless energy and can move very quickly.

Slow Aging/Near-immortality: In "The Waste of Time", it is implied that Wander is virtually immortal (or his species simply ages slower than most), looking the same 1,000 years ago as he does in the present day.

-Sylvia: Wander and Sylvia are inseparable friends and traveling companions, roaming across the universe together. They know each other very well and are accepting of each others strengths and weaknesses, each going out of their way to help the other. Wander very often relies on Sylvia to protect him from various dangers and threats, and genuinely acknowledges and respects her strength. He often provides Sylvia with a voice of reason, and actively works to keep her calm and happy, fully aware of her brash and rough-and-tumble personality.

-Lord Hater: Wander believes Lord Hater to be his friend (despite Lord Hater's clear dislike of him). In "The Buddies", Wander explains that he is aware of Lord Hater's reputation throughout the galaxy as the "ultimate evil", though Wander states that he truly believes Hater still has good in him, deep down. Lord Hater, however, deeply despises Wander's kind nature. He thinks of Wander as a highly skilled adversary, and has hired various bounty hunters to track him down. Despite never accepting Wander's offers of friendship, Hater does eventually become increasingly more comfortable with getting help from Wander, or even teaming up with him, over time. When Hater developed a crush on Lord Dominator, Wander was the only person who supported Hater wanting to ask her out. This brought the two of them together on multiple occasions, a few in which Hater genuinely enjoyed spending time with Wander, like in "The Show Stopper." When reminiscing on these times in "The Waste of Time", Wander expresses how happy he is that Hater's come so far.

It's revealed in "The Wanders" that the reason Wander wants to befriend Lord Hater is because he's known what it is to be frightened and helpless, which drives him to help others, as it's the source of his empathy.

-Commander Peepers: Wander and Peepers first met in "The Greatest". Wander sees Peepers and says "Look at you and your little hat! You're so cute I can't stand it! Trade!" Peepers wants to capture Wander and make evil spread over the universe because of him (as revealed in "The Bounty"). Wander believes Peepers is not really a bad guy, despite having been captured by him before. He is amiable towards Peepers, calling him "Mister" Peepers, as opposed to "Commander" Peepers, and sees him as cute. Peepers sees Wander, at first, as a "hyperactive, wandering weirdo" not worthy of Hater's attention, but later admits that Wander really is a "sly, cunning, and crafty genius" ("The Prisoner"). In The Sick Day it revealed that every morning, Wander would raise the soles on Peepers' shoes 1/8 of a inch so he can help him feel taller.

Lord Dominator: Wander tries to become friends with Lord Dominator in the episode, "The Greater Hater." However, he was constantly ignored or tossed aside while she continued her attack on a planet that Lord Hater was planning to conquer. Wander was incredibly upset by this, seeing it as rude and inconsiderate behavior on Lord Dominator's part. This is shown to offend him multiple times throughout the episode, though he always bounces back to his friendly, idealistic demeanor. However, in the end, he tells her off for her rudeness and proclaims that he doesn't want to be her friend.

In "The Battle Royale", after discovering that Lord Dominator is a girl, Wander made it his goal to get her and Lord Hater together, as he believed them to have lots in common. He hoped that they would fall in love, and that their love would cancel out all of their evil! This all proved to be wrong in "My Fair Hatey," wherein Dominator made it clear that she is nothing but a threat to them and that she's passionate about her evildoing. She illustrates that much through song by destroying Planet Lamouria, breaking Wander's banjo, and attacking him and Lord Hater.

A lot of Wander's personal history is unknown as his original name, birthplace, age and species are not revealed. What is known is at one point he was helpless, which made him decide to help everyone and show them happiness. [4] His presence during the last planetary alignment as seen in "The Waste of Time" makes him at least 1000 years old. Prior to the main story Wander has visited and met a lot of beings. While the exact order is untold it is implied he traveled very extensively. Wander is aware of the Mooplexians true nature when others sees them as unimpressive. He decided that Dr. Screwball Jones is the most dangerous villain and created a superhero persona to stop him. While under a different name, Wander befriended Major Threat and manage to turn him good. Wander stole a magical hat at one point from its previous owners once he realized the hat does not like to be forced into giving items. He befriends the semi sentient hat and wears it in order to protect it. He is claimed by bounty hunter Sylvia, until she befriends him and joins on his travels across the galaxy.
