Wave

Wave is a member of the Jaegers. He is from a small town on the coast where he served in the Imperial Navy, and brought a massive bag full of seafood with him when he joined the Jaegers.

Due to the large amout of time he spent at sea his is fairly unaware of the crime-injected Capital and corrption within the Empire. He is very close to his mother and very well respected in his home village.

Appearance
Wave is a young man with black hair and eyes. He wears a jacket and a black scarf with an anchor on it. He also wears a pair of jeans with a belt and some type of boots. He carries his Teigu on his back.

Personality
He keeps his beliefs close to heart, such as duty to his country and cheering up a girl when she's sad. He is a true navy man at heart and loves everything to do with the ocean. He is shown to be level headed and easy going in his free time and has a disire to be useful to his friends.

He was shown to get along well with most of his comrades, excluding Seryuu. he sympathised with Tatsumi's desire to run away from the group but was dutybound to prevent it. despite constantly finding Bors' choice of attire very strange and wondering how a man of that sort is the only married member of Jaeger, he is on very good term's with the man and seems to think highly of him. he constantly tried to cheer up others, which usually fails and causes him to end up being cheered up by Kurome. Following the death of Bors and Kurome's admittion of her fear of being discarded, Wave seems to have grown extremely protective of the latter, showing his closeness to the two of them.

He believes Nightraid to be evil due to the fact that they are killers who work under the cover of night, which is actually a very rational conclusion for someone from outside of the capital to have. However, after spending time in the capital itself, he has grown more cautious of it. He is cautious of Seryuu because of her brutality and insanity, both of which he states suprised him, in that he did not believe the capital had grown bad to that extreme extent. he was also shocked by the fears Kurome suffers of being abandoned and executed, which again tracks back to the empire.

Tatsumi himself has admitted that Wave, despite his own willingness to kill him if it comes to it, isn't evil, in fact he seems almost moral, a thing sorely lacking in those usually affiliated to the empire.

Bio
When he first arrived at the meeting room for his new group, he first encountered Bors, who stared at him awkwardly until the rest of the crew showed up. He quickly took a liking to Ran, who was in his opinion the only other "normal" person present.

Later, the Jaegers are ordered to eliminate a group of bandits. Wave assists his comrades in their attack on the hideout, while Esdese and Tatsumi watch from afar. He was unable to show off much of his skills, but managed to "save" Kurome from a bandit attacking her from behind.

When members of the Jaegers go hunting on Mt. Fake, and the group is split up into pairs, Tatsumi and Wave are put together. The two of them talk of how similar they are to each other, before they are attacked by danger beasts. They work together to take out the beasts, and using the confusion of battle, Tatsumi escapes using Incursio. Knowing the cruel punishment in store for him when Esdese finds out he let Tatsumi get away, Wave summons Grand Chariot and goes looking for him. At a nearby waterfall, the two encounter each other, unable to recognize each other due to their armor teigu. Wave recognizes Incursio as a Teigu owned by Night Raid member Braht, and attacks. Tatsumi again attempts to get away, but is hindered by Wave, who tells him that he's heard of Night Raid, and that they are villains who murder innocent people. Tatsumi angrily replies that Night Raid are nothing like villains, and once again attempts to escape, but is knocked into the river by Wave. Tatsumi uses Incursio's stealth ability to escape down the river. The next day, Wave is punished and reprimanded by Esdese for his failure.

He's later with Kurome following her period of rest after Chelsea's attempt to assassinate her. When Kurome is showing signs of struggling to keep up despite her injuries, he shows great concern for her and resolves to fight strong enough to protect her and carry her weight.

Equipment &amp; Skills
Wave wields the Armor type Teigu, "Grand Chariot," which is a more attack oriented version of Incursio. It is unknown which Teigu is stronger, as Tatsumi was unwilling to fight Wave.

Wave is also a formidable swordsman and uses his sword more than his Teigu. Esdese has said that his strength is perfect, thanks to having a good teacher.

His skill has been compared, by himself, to Tatsumi, in that while he admitted Tatsumi didn't fight back, he knew that their strengths were near equal around the time they fought. while he was aware of dangerous creatures inhabiting the ocean, he was caught off guard by creatures living in the mountains, likely due to his lack of first hand experience in dealing with them at the time.

Relationships
Kurome : Kurome is perhaps the member of the Jaegars he is closest to. They seem to stay with each other for companys sake but over time he develops a rather strong caring bond with her, to the point she confides in him she is scared of being disposed of for being seen as weak in battle following injuries. He silently declares he'll protect her.

Trivia

 * He is nearly always seen with Kurome and Bors.
 * His name is a reference to his work and likes, similar to Tatsumi
 * He is a parallel to Tatsumi in many ways. For instance, he sees himself as the only level-headed and normal person in a group of eccentric characters, something that Tatsumi empathizes with, stating "I know what you mean." They also both wield Armor-type Teigus. Additionally, they both came to the Captial with large dreams of becoming heroes and rising through the ranks in the military. By succeeding in joining the Jaegers and the Military of the Capital, Wave has more or less become everything that Tatsumi wanted to be at the start of the story-before he joined Nightraid.
 * He is the only one to tsukkomi (play "straight man") in Jaegers
