[color=8A0707][b]Age:[/b][/color] [color=#e65c00]17[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00]Standing at six feet and one inch tall, Willem is certainly taller than most men his age though not as tall as his Brothers or Father. In fact, he is considered the runt of his Family by a considerable amount, having always been thinner, paler, and more sickly looking than any others. On top of that, despite coming from a family of primarily golden haired people, the only exception being his youngest sister, he has always possessed rich, mahogany colored hair.[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Bio/Summary:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00]Wilhelm lived a quiet life in the country side of the Empire, never truly interested in the outside world and simply content with taking care of his family and siblings. He was the youngest son of the five which his mother had birthed, the last son before his three sisters were born and his mother passed away from illness. He seemingly was a normal boy, at least until his magical potential was discovered. After that, he was moved to the Academy and far away from his family, wondering only how they are doing.[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Vessel:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00]Willem had never really given much thought to the name of his Vessel, simply choosing to call it All That Bleeds after he began to use it in earnest. It its dormant state, it takes the form of a wrap around his left arm, similar to that of a bandage but seemingly never able to be stained or damaged. When active, it takes the form of a doubled edged blade with no hilt, a white ribbon wrapped around the blade instead for him to wield it.[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00] Like Willem, All That Bleeds is unrefined and imperfect. It increases Willem’s speed, strength, and reaction time yet, if used against another in a sword battle, should surely lose due to the lack of a cross guard and hilt. Instead, Willem has to rely on his ability to parry an attack and react faster to win in a battle. His magical prowess is unaffected though wounds seem to clot faster or bleed less, almost as if the blade is drinking from him as he bleeds.[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Equipment:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00]A satchel containing bandages for wounds -primarily those to his hands-, his clothing, a pair of black gloves, and a pendant given to him by his mother before her death.[/color]

[color=8A0707][b]Other:[/b][/color] [color=E65C00]Willem has rarely cut his hair, taking pride in its color and unusual neatness. When he is forced to, he always seems a bit down about the loss.[/color]
