History

Wayne was born in Brockton, Massachusetts, and grew up in a turbulent household. His family included his mother, father, and an older brother who was serving in the Marines during the events of the series. Wayne's older brother frequently severely beat him or otherwise abuse him for no apparent reason, his father became gravely ill with cancer due to work-related issues, and his mother eventually abandoned the family when he was five years old. Due to his father's condition, Wayne spent a significant amount of time in hospitals, supporting and caring for his father. However, after his father's treatment ultimately failed, Wayne developed a disdain for hospitals. At sixteen, when the story began, Wayne was already infamous as a local troublemaker with a tendency for unreasonable levels of violence, often with the intention of helping someone who was wronged. In one instance, he took revenge on his father's nurse's ex-boyfriend for cheating on her by throwing ice at the ex's windows. However, this vigilante act ended with Wayne getting beaten up. In front of his home, Wayne had another run-in, this time with his father's landlord, Mr. Hernandez. Wayne fractured or broke the landlord's hand by throwing a piece of meat away from the landlord, prompting the landlord's leashed dog to lunge after it, twisting the landlord's wrist. Wayne then headed back to his house. At home, Wayne answered a knock at the door to find Delilah "Del" Lucchetti, a girl selling stolen cookies. Intrigued by her, Wayne impulsively asked if she would be his girlfriend. Del, however, told him to buy cookies first. Despite having no money, she told him where to find her if he managed to scrounge up the cash.

History

Later in school, Wayne wanted to sell Orlando his nunchucks, only to find out his locker was occupied by a different student. Due to this, Wayne burst into the school principal's office, demanding to know where his stuff was. Principal Tommy Cole was unaware but offered Wayne advice in hopes of turning his life around. While Wayne listened to Cole's advice, he immediately, upon exiting the office, saw someone bullying Orlando. Due to this he beat the bullies up with a trumpet and got suspended from school. Still thinking about Del, Wayne sold Orlando his father's XXX magazines to get the money for the cookies. Finally having the money, Wayne visited Del's house, bought cookies from her, and she agreed to be his girlfriend. Shortly after, Delilah's family, consisting of her father, Bobby, and her older twin brothers, Teddy and Carl, entered the scene by kicking Wayne to the ground and beating him up for talking to Del. Back at home, Wayne's wounds were treated by his father's nurse, Gail. She told him that she didn’t appreciate Wayne being a vigilante but wasn't mad at him either. Wayne Sr. revealed that he had gotten lucky and won the money for rent. It was also revealed that Wayne's dad used to own a 1979 Trans Am car and that it was supposed to go to Wayne before his mom drove off with it. Fireworks outside upset Wayne, so he burst out of the room trying to get the neighboring kids to stop. As they fled from him, he stole their fireworks and returned home, where he noticed his father had passed away. In response, he took his father's money and decided to get his father’s car back from Ocala, Florida. Wayne acquired a motorcycle, packed his belongings, and burned down his house with his deceased father still inside. Ultimately, he visited the Lucchetti household again and sneaked inside to ask Del if she wanted to run away with him. She accepted. Wayne injured the twins by throwing a television on them and fought Bobby outside, eventually biting off Bobby's nose.

History

Wayne and Del reached West Greenwich, Rhode Island, where they decided to rest in the woods. After a failed attempt at a improvised breakfast, they settled down at a local diner to eat and drink something. While in the bathroom, Del realized she was on her period and discovered that the bathroom was out of tampons, so she sent Wayne to buy some at the store across the street. Wayne, too awkward to actually buy them there, ended up visiting three stores in total. In the last store, a woman assisted him, but after observing the disrespectful way her boyfriend spoke to her, Wayne confronted the man, beat him up, locked his neck to a pole, and wrecked his bike. When he returned to the diner, Del was gone. Hoping she would return, he sat down at a diner table and drank three cups of coffee, despite admitting that coffee was the worst thing he ever tasted. The waiter, Tracey, was overhasty and refilled his coffee, pouring it over his left hand. When Tracey tried to give Wayne advice he spoted Del and rushed out of the diner. Outside the diner Del was furious at Wayne for leaving her for a whole hour in the bathroom. She had a breakdown over the entire situation and Wayne's personality overall, and with Wayne not knowing what to do, he let her leave because Dell demanded that Wayne shall not follow her.

History

When Wayne returned to his camp in the woods, he encountered Jamie and Corey, two homeless or poor teenagers who where attempting to steal from Wayne while he was gone. Without hesitation he gave Jamie his jacket, simply because he liked it, most likely because Del called it stupid in their argument before. Corey advised Wayne to fight for Del and mentioned that the normal route to the bus stop would take thirty minutes. However, Wayne chose the faster but more dangerous path, cutting across a golf course guarded by someone called Lee Murray. A few steps into the golf course, Wayne encountered Murray, who was pointing a shotgun at him. In retaliation, Wayne drew his hammer, but after taking one step toward Murray, Murray fired the shotgun into the left side of Wayne's face with rock salt ammunition, knocking Wayne out. Wayne waked up tied to a chair inside a barn. Murray explained that, due to the fact that Jamie and Corey watched Wayne getting shot, they now think Murray murdered him. He tried to convice Wayne to not tell anyone about what happened, but when Kyra, Murray's girlfriend, entered the barn, she demanded that Wayne dies, because they are former criminals and if Wayne would talk, they would go back to prison. Kyra gave Wayne a chance of escaping by offering him freedom, if he beats her at the knife game. After Kyra finished, Wayne took the knife and before he was able to start Del bursted in with a chain saw. She got his location from Jamie and Corey, who gave her Wayne's jacket back. As a distraction Wayne stabs his own hand on purpose making the kidnappers freak out giving Del a chance to cut off part of Murray's foot, making him accidently shoot a lava lamp, spilling the fluid all over Kyras face. Wayne was able to knock Murray out and Tracey saved them both from Kyra.

History

They refueled Wayne's motorcycle back at the camp, and Del told Wayne that they should start by being friends first. It wasn’t a breakup, but rather a decision to take things slower. When Wayne and Del arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, they bribed a sex worker named Deborah to gain access to a room for the day without having to register at the counter. Initially, Deborah refused Wayne’s offer, but after Del insisted, she agreed to help in exchange for payment. During their interaction, Deborah noticed the significant amount of cash Wayne and Del had in their possession. The pair discovers that they are in the newspapers, so Wayne was more cautious and paranoid from this point on. Due to it only being one double bed, Wayne slept the night on the floor. The next morning, Del insisted on going for a swim in the motel’s dirty pool, despite Wayne advising her against it. Before they could finish their conversation, a party bus full of young adults on a "shitty motel" tour pulled up. The group, led by a brash jock named Tug, was heading to Daytona Beach, Florida, for spring break. The group invited Wayne and Del to join them, and Del agreed. Frustrated by this and intent on staying under the radar, Wayne stormed off, avoiding the social interaction. Del followed him back inside and taught him how to lie.

History

Once back outside, Del and Wayne presented themselves as siblings to the group. Wayne adopted the alias "John Wayne," which amused the group, but Del explained that their “parents” were just fans of old westerns. While Del was naturally adept at lying, Wayne remained mostly silent. During a drunken game of Truth or Dare, the group called on Del, and she hesitated before answering a question about the craziest place she had ever had sex. Wayne was visibly distressed, clearly uncomfortable with the situation and her response. When the group realized Wayne hadn’t taken a turn yet, Tug pushed him into playing and taunted him, calling him a coward if he didn't chose Dare. Wayne still chose Truth and recounted a tragic story about being beaten by his brother and dying for two minutes after being thrown down a staircase over a broken record player. Tug accused him of lying, escalating the situation. When Tug prepared to fight, Wayne surprised him by daring Tug to steal a bike, break into a room, and jump into the pool on the bike. Shocked, Tug refused, claiming no sane person would attempt something so reckless. Before things could get physical, Del intervened, prompting Wayne to leave the scene in frustration. However, instead of retreating, Wayne decided to carry out the dare himself, leaving the partygoers stunned. The stunt resulted in the hotel owner calling the cops, giving the group a shakedown and forcing Wayne and Del to use the chaos as an opportunity to hide. As they hid, Del revealed that the story she told during Truth or Dare was a complete lie. This made Wayne smile, and he admitted that he had lied too, but only about the record player. Just as they thought they were in the clear, Emma, one of the party members, ratted them out to the cops. A chase ensued, but Deborah came to their aid by hiding them under a mattress in one of the motel rooms. However, while helping them, Deborah also managed to steal their money.

Personality

Wayne is a deeply unapproachable yet morally driven individual, defined by his awkwardness, resilience, and unwavering sense of justice. By nature, he struggles to connect with others on a personal level. His literal interpretations of social cues, lack of eye contact, inability to grasp jokes or sarcasm, and discomfort in social settings make him appear strange or difficult to relate to. Small special interests, like enjoying the smell of soap or candles, further set him apart, highlighting his peculiar personality. Despite these challenges, Wayne exhibits an extraordinary depth of empathy for those he cares about, even if his methods of showing it are unconventional. When two strangers attempted to steal from him, rather than retaliate, he simply gave them his jacket. His compassion for others, especially those he deems vulnerable or wronged, is a defining feature that drives much of his story. Wayne’s moral compass, though unwavering, is deeply flawed, grounded more in his personal sense of justice than in societal norms. His instinctive desire to protect others often leads to disproportionate responses to perceived injustices. He does not shy away from violence, especially when righting wrongs, and his extreme measures reflect both his inner rage and his deep-seated belief that fairness can only be achieved through decisive action. This relentless pursuit of justice, however, frequently isolates him, as his actions often cause unintended harm or alienate those he seeks to protect.

Personality

Having grown up in a turbulent household filled with abuse and loss, he developed an extraordinary ability to endure both physical pain and emotional hardship. Despite being beaten by bullies, family members, and enemies alike, he rarely complains or gives up. Yet this resilience is both his greatest strength and a source of self-destruction, as he continues to put himself in harm’s way without considering the long-term impact on his health or well-being. Wayne’s struggle with expressing vulnerability, particularly his refusal to cry or visibly mourn his father’s death, further emphasizes his suppressed emotions, which manifest instead through acts of violence or quiet melancholy. This inner melancholy is most evident when Wayne reflects on the happiness he perceives in others but believes he will never attain. Moments like watching his neighbor's happy family or seeing family photos on someone else’s fridge stir a bittersweet longing in him. His complex feelings toward his mother, who abandoned him as a child, blend resentment and yearning. Though he initially claims disdain for her, his actions reveal a desperate desire to reconnect, hoping to reclaim some semblance of familial love and acceptance. When she ultimately rejects him again, Wayne’s devastation speaks to his unresolved pain and his deep fear of being alone.

Personality

Wayne’s protective instincts shine brightest in his relationship with Delilah "Del" Lucchetti. Unlike most people, Del manages to break through Wayne’s guarded demeanor. Perhaps this stems from his implied long-standing crush on her before they officially met, as revealed later in the series. Once she becomes part of his life, Wayne’s devotion to Del is absolute, often driving him to reckless or extreme actions to ensure her safety and happiness. While his efforts to protect Del are rooted in genuine care, they occasionally border on possessiveness, especially when he feels insecure about their relationship. Despite this, Wayne consistently puts Del’s needs above his own, even in small, thoughtful gestures like eating foods he dislikes just so she can enjoy picking off parts she loves. Romantically, Wayne’s awkwardness and inexperience are both endearing and reflective of his youth. Moments like his clumsy attempt to buy tampons for Del highlight his willingness to support her, even when doing so pushes him far outside his comfort zone. These actions reveal his naivety but also his earnest desire to be a good partner, even if he doesn’t always know how. At times, Wayne’s insecurities create tension, particularly when he fears that Del might leave him or that he is holding her back from a normal life. His admission that he believes Del will one day abandon him underscores his deep-seated fear of rejection and loneliness. WAYNE SPEAKS WITH A STRONG BOSTON ACCENT

Trivia

Wayne has a affinity for punk music. In Chapter One, he danced to the song "Everyone Is Sick" by Tørsö while playing it for Del. Wayne’s birthyear is speculated to be based on a police file from January 23, 2015, which estimated him to be 13 years old at that time. This suggests he was born in 2002. The events of the series take place in 2018, when Wayne is 16 years old. However, if Wayne was not born in 2002 but instead in late 2001, the series would take place in 2017 for him to be 16 years old during its events. While the full extent of Wayne's criminal history remains vague, he committed each of the following crimes at least once throughout the series: arson, vandalism, assault, battery with a weapon, theft, breaking and entering, unlawful restraint, attempted murder and threatening with a weapon. Additionally Wayne committed the following crimes in acts of self-defense or the defense of others at least once: assault, battery with a weapon and threatening with a weapon. Although it is never explicitly mentioned in the series, one could argue that Wayne exhibits traits consistent with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder, Attachment Disorder, and/or Major Depressive Disorder. A strong argument can also be made for Wayne being autistic, based on several traits he exhibits throughout the series. These include his difficulty understanding social cues, sarcasm, or humor, bluntness, struggle with lying, his tendency to take things literally and his hyperfixation on specific interests such as smells. Additionally, Wayne’s social awkwardness, lack of consistent eye contact, and apparent hypo-sensitivity to pain further align with characteristics often associated with autism.
