Imprinting AU!

This is an AU where if a Na'vi imprints on someone, be it human or Na'vi, they would immediately become attached to their imprinted one, become overly protective and possessive of them, and would do anything to keep them safe.

Corporal Lyle Wainfleet was a human mercenary who worked for the RDA as a Sec-Ops corporal. As a member of Sec-Ops, Wainfleet's duties included guarding the Hell's Gate compound and commanding an AMP suit company. He also served as one of Trudy Chacón's door gunners on her Samson.

In 2170, Wainfleet's duplicated consciousness was downloaded into a clone Recombinant body as part of Project Phoenix.

....

Wainfleet was employed by the RDA as a Sec-Ops soldier. He eventually became second in command of the Hell's Gate security forces, serving directly under Colonel Miles Quaritch.

Assisting SciOps (Avatar) --

Wainfleet was present during various critical events during the hostile takeover of Pandora by the RDA. He was the additional non-avatar security on Dr. Grace Augustine's sample-collecting mission. Originally assuming to be heading out with the science team, Grace dismissed him, feeling that "one idiot with a gun is enough", referring to Jake Sully, so he remained behind.

Destruction of the Hometree

When the Na'vi destroyed several bulldozers and killed the human soldiers on patrol in retaliation for the destruction of the Trees of Voices, one of the Omatikaya clan's most sacred places, Wainfleet reported the scene of the attack to Quaritch and Parker Selfridge, leading to the Destruction of The Hometree. Wainfleet commanded a door gun on a Samson piloted by Trudy Chacón and was eager to participate in the assault before Trudy refused to fire upon Hometree and returned them both to base. He was confused and annoyed by Trudy's retreat.

Battle of Ayram Alusìng --

When Quaritch mustered all available Sec-Ops units to attack the Na'vi at the Tree of Souls, Wainfleet took point with his AMP suit troopers. Forming up into a skirmish line, both his mechanized and foot-mobile forces held the line against the Na'vi for much of the battle. During the assault, he was able to shoot down Seze, Neytiri's ikran. However, after Pandora's local wildlife entered the fray, he was killed when a hammerhead titanothere rammed into his AMP suit and then crushed him under one of its feet.

Avatar: The Way of Water

As Recom Quaritch watches a video log made in 2154 by Quaritch, Wainfleet can be seen in the background having just used a Link Unit to upload a copy of his memories to a Soul Drive.

Personality and Traits --

Wainfleet is an ignorant grunt and a mercenary who only fights for two reasons: the brutal thrill of hurting others, and a paycheck. He embodies the concept of "might makes right" and when he enters his AMP Suit, it provides him with a sense of supreme moral authority. He is meant to portray the uglier side of militaries when they can be at their worst: ugly aggressors.

Wainfleet was not a vocal member of the Sec-Ops force, instead preferring to let his weapons and his superior, Colonel Quaritch, do the talking, even though he was present for several critical events during the days that lead to the RDA's expulsion from Pandora. Unlike Trudy, his experiences with the scientists of the Avatar Program did not sway him to their cause, and he joined Quaritch's force during the Battle of Ayram Alusìng.

Avatar's Lyle Wainfleet appears as a rugged human soldier in the first Avatar film (shaved brown hair, brown eyes) and later as a 9-foot tall, blue-skinned Na'vi-hybrid "Recombinant" in The Way of Water, with black hair, yellow eyes, and advanced combat skills, serving as a formidable RDA lieutenant.
