He does not wield a weapon, preferring to fight using his fists and his alchemy respectively. APPEARANCE: Iamos has very dark brown hair, to the point that it looks black when wet or not in light. His eyes are a dark blue-green, and are generally described as the colour of an ocean. When it comes to clothing, Iamos generally wears shirts of varying colours (the most common being purple) and jeans. PERSONALITY: To someone who doesn't know him well, Iamos might come across as brusque, cold, and sometimes uncaring. However, this is less due to his personality types and more due to his inability to express himself in a social situation and his struggle to read people's emotions. Any contradiction to an idea he has suggested or any retribution of an argument is often taken personally, and he often has to control his temper during such occurrences. However, Iamos is not without a tender side - he cares very deeply for his sister Azura, and once he warms up to someone he is loyal to them no matter what the personal cost might be. ABILITIES AND POWERS: Iamos' most significant ability is of course his alchemy, and his mastery of several branches of alchemy. His other significant attribute is his intelligence, with his high IQ and his habitual reading of factual books making for quite the strategical mind. QUOTES: "For me, transmuting any element other than earth is like bench pressing sixty kilograms. I technically CAN do it, but not for long because it’s hard, and I’m not used to the sort of concentration required. Elements get more complex to manipulate down the line."- Iamos, explaining alchemy to Loden and Daiyu. "If you’ve been feeling something for as long as you can remember, how can you tell whether it’s abnormal or not? Maybe all I know is pain."- Iamos. APPEARANCES:

• Foes and Heirs
• Scattered Ashes

TRIVIA:

• Iamos has a sister complex.
• Iamos also has a height complex, though this comes into play less often than the sister complex due to his average height.
• Iamos' social awkwardness and unique way of thinking stem from the fact that Iamos has Asperger's Syndrome.
• Iamos' mythological namesake is the son of the God Apollo; the name means "boy of the violets"
• This is a reference to the colour purple which, incidentally, is Iamos' favourite colour.
• The alchemy that Iamos practices is based on a combination of Chinese Philosophy, medieval European practices and the namesake art practiced by characters in the "Fullmetal Alchemist" series.
• The surname "Wilder" is a reference to the character Alex Wilder, a character from Brian K. Vaughan's and Marvel's "The Runaways".
• The surname "Wilder" is Anglo-Saxon in origin, based on the pre 10th Century "wild-eor" which literally translates to "wild animal".
