Personal History

Firewall is a highly compressed sound wave, the sophomore effort of DJ/part-time scientist Melvin Ochoa created after the success of Raúl Leal. They are reported as sounding something like tire screeching and smashed guitars. Firewall was covertly installed in Worldwide Field as an emergency security measure sometime between the Season β7 election and the beginning of Season β12.

First Game

On Season β13, Day 43, Firewall first appeared to the world when current lineup player and Fire Protector Raúl Leal was incinerated. According to many witness accounts, Firewall suddenly leapt into action in an attempt to protect Leal from the attack. Following their failure to protect their predecessor, Firewall played the rest of the game in Leal's place and Mr. Wide quietly signed them onto the team.

Personal Life

Firewall is nonverbal, communicating mostly through body language and signals. Their hobbies post-emergence include glowering, cutting the sleeves off of shirts, and striking poses.

Firewall is often seen attending parties with the rest of the team. Interviewed partygoers describe Firewall as very quiet and distant, usually standing around with a drink "looking cool," although a few question whether Firewall is having fun at all. When asked about Firewall's presumed lack of party spirit, fellow Dale players respond that they seem to "just be like that." Firewall uniformly rejects any request for interviews or photographs.
