"'. . .'""— Etoz"

Appearance
Etoz has snow white hair with a small hair tie on his left. His hair is always slightly unkempt but is otherwise average. He has grey eyes that always happen to be 'sharp', as well as a similarly grey cloak with a hood that he never puts up. he also has finger-less sleeves and leggings that transition into sandals. His sleeves have two red gems while his leggings have one, with red dots of a similar color put onto the chest of his cloak.

In the Metaverse, his outfit switches to a basic black suit with a grey undershirt and black tie. His mask is two-toned, with one side being black and the other being blue. His gloves are the same blue color, along with his scarf having a similar color in its pattern. He wears black pants that match the suit, held up with a white belt and having on black shoes with blocks of blue on top of them

Personality
Etoz is the type of person who tends to go with the flow and try out new experiences at the behest of those around him, along with generally trying his best to be kind and understanding of others. He tends to be silent a lot of the time due to wanting to 'experience' the moment he's in, letting things happen as he goes along for the ride.

At his best, Etoz can be a dependable rock who never gives up in the face of unyielding pain and tragedy as he tries his best to carry as many friends as he can with him to the best possible outcome in a bad situation, always believing in the power that people can hold. At his worst, he can be fairly stupid, a bit too blunt and ignorant, and even cowardly and anxiety-ridden along with having a lack of faith in himself as opposed to his friends and loved ones.

Background
In a world filled with a pantheon of gods and goddesses lived one who wielded the light and holy by the name of Nilyan. Nilyan was a power hungry goddess who eventually found a way to seal the rest of the pantheon away to assume total solitary control as 'Supreme Goddess.' She then began to stockpile more and more power in order to obtain a form that would allow her to overtake the entire multiverse. To help her achieve this goal she created a body from scratch and a soul made from a fraction of the pantheon, combining them to form her servant: Etoz.

Etoz was regularly tasked with dispatching of troubles or problems that came up to Nilyan in the form of a living weapon. After eventually meeting and clashing with a group of four 'heretics', he eventually lost and got most of his soul destroyed as he was flung from his home dimension during its collapse in the final clash between the four heroes and the goddess. After drifting through space for an absurdly long amount of time, he crashed down into Starcrossing with no recollection of who he was and without a soul.

Story in Starcross
Since crashing down in Starcross, Etoz has learned a lot about how the world works and has formed a large number of connections and friends spread across the island, though mostly in his home of Blossom Village. He's eventually given the last name of 'Wick' by Dante to respect a legendary figure. Over his early days, he knew many people yet one of the most impactful was one of the first: Sans. He also met and befriended Goro Akechi, someone who he grew somewhat close to from then on along with his daughter and Etoz's best friend, Michi Akechi. It's also Goro Akechi who first introduces Etoz to Mementos when he questions about what personas are and why he was made to be a Wild Card, which unlocks his persona Santiago from then on.

From then on, Etoz would focus himself on studying and getting jobs for the funds to continue said studies about how best to live life and what best direction he should take. Due to the nature of his sudden appearance and existence, despite the steady formation of Social Links with the inhabitants of SC: he couldn't help but feel a slight disconnect from others due to his way of interaction. It comes down to multiple conversations with friends after his discovery of the awful past he led before crashing down that he went out of his way to break down the barriers he felt between himself and his friends, giving it his all to be a better person in the present then he was in the past.

Etoz's drive for knowledge was so strong as to allow him access to a hidden world link to SC known as the Library of Souls, a realm similar to Mementos and the TV World. This Print-Space was filled to the brim with information to be read through in the form of books along with the ability to dispel misinformation in the real world through the use of going into the liemonger's personal dungeon within the realm to destroy the false information within. With this discovery he made along with his friend Chris, he decides to form the Book Club in the even this world ever need be used for good.

Very slowly and subtly, Etoz's development began to steer towards more self-serving ways when it came to what he did and when he did it. After the sudden death of his best friend Michi, however, he comes to a wake-up call that he had been going down the path of being shallow in his niceties, not realizing the signals Michi was giving to him about her oncoming suicide. While she was able to be kept alive thanks to her father's technology and becoming an android, this didn't serve to diminish the lesson Etoz had to force himself to learn. From then on, Etoz had committed himself to trying to truly understand the viewpoints of others before trying to say he was truly 'becoming a better person.'

Eventually befriending Yoshi, Etoz learns of the crimes committed by Kamek: the misinformation spread about claiming that yoshis evade taxes among other lies. Due to this, yoshis have been arrested in mass and because of the nature of the problem, Etoz suggests that he ask some friends for help to deal with this. the Book Club is called to journey into Kamek's Print-Space dungeon and, along with the help of their newest member being Yoshi, dispel the lies spewed by Kamek publically as all the information is reverted to an unbiased and truthful nature.

Abilities and Gear
After arriving in Starcross, he was given the abilities of a Wild Card, with his 'Teacher' (assistant) being Agatha. Because of this, he can summon personas in the real world as well as being able to have multiple at once. He can also fuse them together to create more and call back onto his others with a monetary fee. In large parts due to his own personal development and seeking of mental peace and clarity, his initial persona of Santiago has a skill known as Emerald Breeze that can calm those around him to a similar level of mental stability and clarity, the opposite of Call to Chaos.

Etoz has also learned PSI thanks to the help of one of his friends, Lucas. This allows for the standard skillset, telepathy, telekinesis, etc. He also has his signature skill in the form of PK Connections, which allows the attack to grow stronger the closer he is to those he has a Social Link with and gain new attributes depending on the person.

Etoz has even more skills under his disposal, such as the use of Heat (which he's being trained to use by Kazuma Kiryu), sword fighting (thanks to another teacher, Samurai Jack), and a wide array of skills and traits he's picked up from the power of his Social Links.

sans
Etoz always makes sure to stop by and say hello to Sans whenever he sees the guy, he's to Etoz like your cool Social Studies teacher was to you.

Michi Akechi
'Scarf-Buddies' with robotic voices, Etoz gets along well with Michi Akechi whenever they're together. He sees her as someone much smarter than he is, like everyone else, but tends to have that thought slip away whenever they do downright dumb things together or play darts.

Agatha
Etoz's teacher in velvet blue, he thinks she's one of the smartest people he knows. She also tends to put him on edge at times with her tone, while at other times getting his expectations for himself up and increasing his motivation to work harder. She's one of his favorite teachers.

Lumia
Who Etoz considers to be a confidant like no other, him and Lumia just happen to randomly meet one day and though their interactions started off as stilted and lukewarm due to Etoz's lack of social skills at the time, they eventually grew to be two very close friends who hold immense care and trust for one another.

Chris Jumper
Chris is someone Etoz can consider a 'bro' of his. He always tries his best to make sure Chris is motivated to keep trying his hardest in the plethora of tough situations he usually manages to find himself in, always willing to give a hand or lend an ear to listen to his troubles. Though they've bickered at times, that only speaks to the level of care and worry Etoz has when Chris gets himself into a dangerous problem and vice-versa with the case of Etoz tending to do the same.

Hatolescent
A chance meeting at Dante's birthday party resulted in these two becoming acquaintances with one another. This eventually grew into a fully-fledged friendship that involved the likes of Etoz learning more about how he views himself and Hatty gaining a friend who'll seem to always stick by her no matter what he may learn of her or her problems, always willing to give each other a hand not just in terms of advice but quietly sitting with someone as well.
