The Wizard

Archetype

A nervous long-range controller who drops balloons over obstacles but loses everything when his remote gets wet.

Personality

The Wizard is a lonely twelve-year-old with expensive equipment and no easy way to join a group. He stands about twenty feet back, watches his drone, and speaks only when the drop requires it. From that distance, nervousness looks like aloofness. He is not standing apart because he thinks he is better.

One kid thanked him for a good drop. He quietly kept the drone over that kid for the rest of the afternoon. He did not make a speech about it or ask to be thanked again.

Motivation

Winning means being needed. He wants air support to earn him a place in the war when ordinary conversation has not. A good drop gives him a reason to stay near the group and a simple way to help without asking how to join.

How they fight

He flies a small drone carrying one water balloon and can drop it behind hedges, over roofs, or onto ground the team cannot reach from the street. He is strongest when protected at long range and when enemies believe cover makes them safe.

The kid holding the controller is defenseless and cannot watch every approach. The controller is not waterproof. A direct stream, a fast flanker, or the Bubbling Toddler's cloud can interrupt his view and end the air support. He has no useful attack once the controller goes quiet.

From the studio

This revision uses casting sheet row 10 for age, identity, size, nervousness, and the remote weakness, while preserving Claira's Wizard and the thanked-once beat. No drone role exists in the sim, so every combat value is labeled as a target. Earlier published revisions remain unchanged in the timeline.
