Whiz

A drawing of Whiz, a round-shaped being wearing goggles, a bandanna, and a mechanical pack. A reference sheet for Whiz, a yellow round-shaped being wearing goggles, a red bandanna, and a mechanical pack. His gloves are brown with glowing digital pads on the undersides, and he also has brown shoes. Whiz, the Brilliant Inventor and founder of the Journeys Exploration Team, is the oldest of the team and very smart and experienced. He's a great mechanic, able to build and fix mechanical equipment, and he's also pretty good at cooing (he makes a mean lasagna!). Whiz's gadges include his goggles (which have a built-in HUD and can scan enemies for weaknesses), his glove pads (which emit electricity and have their own HUD, serving as tracking devices for Jet, who Whiz built), his trusty mech pack (which stores electric energy used in all of Whiz's gadgets), and mechanical arms (which are very sharp, and can be rotated quickly like helicopter blades to fly). After a terrible incident, Whiz went into hiding from the world, becoming a hermit for 2 years straight. As such, he's still working to rebuild his social skills.

Personality

A humble Poyo highly experienced in building gadgets and machines, Whiz Wiley is the Leader of the Journeys Exploration Team. He always seems to be calm and relaxed, even in danger, and provides as much as he can to those closest to him. After the Shiver Star Incident, Whiz went into hiding and started his own personal studies. Years of isolation have caused him to forget some social conventions, and as a result he has a hard time socializing in some cases. He always means well, though!

By the way, he’s actually not a reincarnation of the creator of the universe or something like Kirby is—he’s closer to Waddle Dees in heritage.

Abilities

Whiz has no special powers of his own or anything, but he makes up for it with a multitude of gadgets he himself built!

  • The pack he wears comes equipped with mechanical arms he can use to attack, maneuver, and even fly if he rotates them fast enough! The pack also has a first-aid kit inside, and it serves as Whiz's personal computer when on the move.
  • Whiz's gloves both have built-in displays at his palms to provide a wealth of data whenever he needs. They also function as custom trackers for Jet, allowing Whiz to track its location and view its camera. Lastly, if Whiz needs, he can overcharge his gloves to fire electricity, or project an energy shield!
  • Whiz's goggles are specially designed to help him scan opponents for information and reveal their weak points.
  • Combined, Whiz's goggles and bandana function as a gas mask when worn around his face, letting him breathe comfortably in toxic air.
  • Whiz additionally comes equipped with chemical balloons filled with minor toxic chemicals, to be used in emergencies only. They make a nice combo with the aforementioned gas mask!
  • And finally, Whiz has a natural aptitude for building new things. Give him the materials, and he could practically build anything you need him to! He could even invent something entirely new with enough time!

Art

A drawing of a younger version of Whiz, a round-shaped being wearing glasses and a bowtie. Him and his environment--a hill with a cloudy sky--are tinted sepia, as though in an old photo, but a yellow bird, notably not tinted, flies past the young Whiz as he looks up at it. Surrounding him are lyrics to the song 'The Logical Song' by Supertramp: 'When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A drwaing featuring Whiz, a yellow round-shaped being wearing goggles and a bandannam, and Changer, another yellow round-shaped being with mechanical accessories and an eyepiece scanner. Both are in Whiz's laboratory, with tools and pieces scattered across the desk, and Whiz has handed one of his mechanically-augmented gloves to Changer, who's eyeing it in awe.
