Wayne Tate

Nickname/Title: Captain US Army, now Retired. He gets called lots of derisive names, most commonly "The Colonist"

Age: 35

Birthplace: USA, Georgia, Atlanta

Sexuality: Heterosexual

Play-By: Keanu Reeves

Occupation: Private Detective, sometimes private body guard

Physical Desription: Wayne stands out like a sore thumb, mainly because of his size. He towers over the average British man, standing 6'4" and weighing 230 lb (very little body fat). He has dark brown eyes, and hair that is nearly black. He wears a closely trimmed beard.
Normally he dresses plainly, a grey coat over a shirt and trousers, which he keeps long over his boots. He always carries a Bowie Knife in a sheath hidden beneath his jacket, and a swordcane.

Goals: He really just wants to survive. He moved to London to escape the wars in the US. Despite his protests, he wishes to find a woman who captivates him and provokes the kinds of feelings he has seen in other men. He wants to be desired by someone whom he desires in return.

Likes: Being in control of himself first, his partner second. Everything else is gravy.

Dislikes: Vore, Scat, Gore, hardcore violence

Distinguishing Features: Other than his general size, he has scars from knife fights and three bullet wounds on his back. His accent also distinguishes him. It sounds more Matthew McConaughey or Patrick Swayze than Gomer Pile.

Personality Description: Wayne hates violence, but is exceptional at it. He hates hurting other people, but it is his real talent. He is a "man of honor" which has a very particular definition to him. He always keeps his word, defends women and children, accepts honorable challenges, and stands up to bullies.

Characters History: Despite being born to a relatively poor family in the South, he was accepted to Westpoint based on recommendations from family friends, one of which was a Senator from Georgia. He graduated at 19, one year early due to the extreme need for officers. The Mexican American was brewing, which was where he was called to service. He was in the Cavalry, fought with distinction, was promoted to Captain, and when the war ended his term of service had ended and he had to find work.

He traveled extensively with his good friend from the Army, who was much more wealthy than he. They traveled through the far east in particular, and both spent several years learning "Asian wrestling" ie Judo/Jujitsu, and competed with each other on this front as much as any other. When his friend returned to the US he was accepted to Cambridge to study a new kind of science, "forensics" which was really just a return of old methods and adding new gadgets.

After completing his Master's Degree, he decided to try his hand at detective work. He joined Scotland Yard briefly, and for a couple of years had success. Eventually, though, he was became disillusioned with the tendency to beat confessions out of suspects. He has recently acquired a position with a well known local Solicitor as his private investigator, and he finds this work far more agreeable. He moonlights as a private body guard, mostly for his employer, but will take commissions from those his "boss" recommends.
