Wilson

"I will conquer this world with the power of my MIND!"

Wilson on Nightmare Throne in A New Reign cinematic

Summary[]

Wilson is the main character and mascot for the indie survival series, Don't Starve. Created by Klei Entertainment (pronounced Clay). Wilson is a playable character and makes several appearances in cutscenes and trailers for the games and DLCs. 

Wilson was your average crazy scientist, but one day when he was about to finish an experiment, he failed and this put him in a depressing state. When he was lounging around on his seat, a radio that he got from an abandoned factory started to speak to him.  

This radio promised Wilson "secret knowledge", Wilson took it without a second thought, and with this Wilson created a large door. When Wilson was told to turn it on, two shadow hands dragged him into a world known as the Constant. The voice talking to Wilson belonged to a powerful magic user named Maxwell.  

Maxwell tricked Wilson into bringing himself into the world of the Constant, now Wilson had nothing but the clothes on his back to survive and find Maxwell. Once he did, he gave pity on Maxwell as he saw how he was basically suffering, forced to sit in the Nightmare Throne forever, listening to the same song. He placed a device in a wooden thingy, and this made Maxwell and Wilson switch places. Now Wilson was the one in the chair. 

After some time, Charlie came by and freed him from the throne, but out of nowhere Charlie started to attack Wilson. Shocking him unconscious and leaving him back in the world of the Constant. Now Charlie sat on the chair, becoming the new ruler.

Wilson eventually found Maxwell in the Constant, and they duked it out for a bit. But they stopped and chose to work together. Together they built a portal, that brought in several other survivors, and all together they had to survive.

Attack Potency : Large Mountain level, Higher with weapons, Forge Armors, Forge Headgear (Is on par with Wheeler who can dish out 1.75 Gigatons of TNT. Can fight monsters that can harm him and Wheeler. Fought on par with Maxwell in a fist fight, who has defeated the same monsters he has.) Can bypass durability via poison weapons. Can BFR via Telelocator Staff | Unknown, Large Star level (During the ending of Don't Starve, and the beginning of Don't Starve Together, Wilson was the one sitting on the Nightmare Throne. On the throne, he should be comparable in power to the likes of Maxwell when he was on it. This throne gave Maxwell the ability to create the Constant, which before hand was described as empty, void-like. Which consists of several small islands, an entire ocean, a larger island with it's own cave system of similar size, a moon, and a sun. Controls the entire area of the Constant.)

Speed : FTL (Is on par with Wheeler, who can dodge lasers. These lasers actually have properties that prove they're fast as light, such as coming from an origin of light, not being interacted by physical things, and not exploding on contact (they more of spark up). Was able to attack faster than Maxwell could react, who has the same speed feats and is capable of manipulating shadows, which of course move at the speed of light.) | Immobile (The Nightmare Throne straps him down so much that he cannot move.) Speed of Light Weapon speed (Can manipulate shadows which move at this speed.)

Lifting Strength : At least Superhuman (Can carry the material to create a few dozen pig houses and other structures. Jumped several feet in the air when the Quacken destroyed his boat. Struggled to lift up pieces of marble statues, that is roughly his size.)

Striking Strength : Large Mountain level

Durability : Large Mountain level, Higher with all armor and headgear (Survives attacks from several monsters that are stronger, or at least as strong as him. Even though it did knock him out, Wilson survived a shocking from Charlie, which her magic at this moment in time was capable of reversing dark shadows that physically restrained him.) Healing, regeneration, barriers, and temporary immunity to physical attacks, can make him hard to kill. | Unknown

Intelligence : Extraordinary Genius, Higher with Brain of Thought. Wilson is a very fast learner, quick thinker, improviser, skilled crafter, chemist, cartographer, ceramist, fighter, and an expert in cooking. He's able to easily turn a bad situation in his favor, such as when he was thrown into the constant with nothing but the clothes on his back. Can find animals on land and in the sea, via using their leftover tracks and bubbles. Is able to easily pilot boats, tame Beefalo, and ride Beefalo with no shown past experience. Fights groups of monsters on the daily, with most of them completely towering over him and having special abilities. Won a gladiator like tournament with the other survivors. Was gifted with "secret knowledge" from Maxwell. Can craft the Telelocator Staff, which its description states "Bend space, time sold separately". Was the one that built Maxwell's Door, which is a device that teleports beings to different worlds. With a little help from Maxwell, the two were able to build the Jury-Rigged Portal which is a portal that took in all ten other survivors into the Constant, not including Wilson himself and Maxwell.  

Weaknesses: Is still a human, so he has regular human weaknesses. His personal perk doesn't help in combat, all it is just growing a warm beard. His large arsenal is limited and can eventually run out. Even though they have the capability to be used for combat, a good handful of Wilson's arsenal is made for survival purposes. He's a little bit crazy. Depending on what he's fighting, he can lose his sanity, though this is most likely just a game play mechanic. | Cannot move while on the Nightmare Throne. Could possibly have the same weaknesses as Charlie, who is kind of weak to light of any kind, but this is only in gameplay. If he gets removed from the Nightmare Throne, he will no longer have his cool powers.  

Key: Base | Ruler of the Constant

Note: Wilson ONLY sat on the Nightmare Throne in between the ending of Don't Starve and the beginning of Don't Starve Together, he was then dethroned by Charlie.
