Valdi hails from the same land as Signifer Gwyn. His true passion lies in machinery and can usually be found in his laboratory with his trusty welder and robotic assistants. Though their individual interests differ, he and Gwyn have quite similar personalities and get along incredibly well.
Mechafriend
Gender: Masculine programming
“Species”: Robot

Pieces: 58
This android was constructed by Valdi primarily to be an assistant in his lab. Nicknamed Mechafriend by the community, the droid would go on to develop a personality beyond is programming. In general, Mechafriend is a very friendly individual; he is undyingly loyal to Valdi and will defend him from any slights or threats, from misgendering his master to saving his life at the cost of his own should the need arise.
Trivia
- Valdi and Mechafriend are both inspired by the characters of the same name from Xenoblade Chronicles 3.
- Though one wouldn’t guess from his jovial exterior, the reason Valdi took up tinkering with machines is because he felt an outsider compared to all the other Ga-Matoran and felt safer among his mechanical creations. After all, robots would never judge him, would they?
