[u]Appearance Details[/u]
 Will is a wiry 29 year old 6'3'', 180 Ibs soldier. He has a bit of an undercut, and generally keeps his hair out of his face. To many, Will gives an outward intimidation. His face is very angular, and has intense blue-gray eyes, which are often hard to glean emotion from. He is considered physically fit, being a marine. He has a scar, running down his right cheek, and several tattoos on his left forearm, along with a number of different scars in his torso.

[u]Character Synopsis[/u]
From the start, Will was looking after someone. Born with a twin, James, in New York City to abusive parents, he didn't have a great hand dealt to him from the get go. His parents ran one of the major taxi business's, and seemed to adamantly hate everything. Each other, their kids, their job, it didn't matter. Will grew up protecting James from their parents drunken arguments and assorted beatings. He made sure they both worked hard and got through school. They would both often come to school with bruises and cuts adorning their bodies, but most of the staff chalked it up  to "Boys being boys." It took 15 years for them to finally leave. Their father, Alex, was particularly drunk one night, and brought out his handgun. This wasn't a cause for alarm, most of the time, he never kept it loaded. Will still doesn't know what finally set him off enough to actually load the gun. James was having an especially bad argument with Alex, and he brought out the gun, waving it around and acting tough. Eventually, their mom joined in and Alex got even more upset, waving the gun around more, then finally pulling the trigger. The boys watched as their mother fell to the floor, and went into shock. They didn't know what to do, so they ran. Gathered what money they could and took a bus to Maine.

For the next three years, they were essentially homeless. They made what money they could by running drugs and taking any odd job they could, and eventually, when they turned 18, they joined the military. Will as a combat medic for the marines, and James as an airforce pilot. Even though they were immediately deployed to fight Bush's war in the middle east, to the boys, it finally seemed like they had a purpose. The war divided the brothers, James not seeing much action as a fighter pilot, when Will saw heavy fighting in the middle east, and came back a different person than the boy that was sent to die in the desert. They tried to reconnect after the war, but Will was just too different, and they drifted apart.

It wasn't until years after the war that the boys got together again. A month before the fated flight, James hit up Will, saying his service as a pilot in the war netted him a couple of tickets to Hawaii. By this point, James was out of the military and lived back home, in rural New York with his wife. Will stayed in the military, serving several more tours after the war, and his leave lined up perfectly with the Hawaii trip. So, together they went, off into the wild blue yonder........

[u]Personality[/u]
Will is generally a very upbeat and protective guy. Always quick to say something dumb just to get a laugh, he was often called Jester by his squad mates. He is quick to take charge, and gets along well with others. While this is true, he is very quick to judge people that remotely resemble his parents. Since the war ended, he has been fraying a bit around the edges. While previously he had sworn off alcohol, he has recently taken up the habit, and has became more reclusive, and does not like to open up about himself with others. He will almost always focus the conversation on the other person, as to avoid himself as a topic. It has been clear for a while that he has the beginning stages of PTSD.
