He has an athletic frame. The mutation caused by the meteor left him near perfect physique. He also seems to age at a much slower rate than normal humans. An attempt has been made to calculate his real age, something he will not openly disclose. It was revealed that his real age is closer to 85, rather than the appeared late 30s. He moves well, for his age, due to the permanence of the power granted him via his mutations. He may appear slender, and may walk with a limb, but all that may be an act to incur a false sense of secure in his foes.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] PSYCHOLOGY [/b][/u][/h3] [i][color=0BE804]"Good to see you alive, brother!"[/color][/i] [b]MAIN GOAL ⫻[/b] [color=0BE804]To survive[/color].

As a younger man, he went to school got a job, and carried on with his life. Just like everyone else he knows. He was your run-of-the-mill salary-man. He bought his groceries at the local megamart, he went for jogs at the local park, he bought drinks at the local bar, and he had dates at the local restaurants. Nothing special, nothing out of the ordinary. Right? Well. Not exactly. By the time he discovered his mutation, he doesn't know how long he has had it. He first noticed it when his peers, who are around his age, started aging properly. His hair remained a shiny black, and his movement went unhindered as his peers greyed and slowed. He would, through day to day life, get bumps, scrapes and cuts. He would feel them as they happened but they would then fade from his thought. They simply healed so fast he started to pay them no mind. Soon, he had to leave the company he worked for. He hit the 40 year mark with the company, without showing as much as a grey hair. By that point, he could basically retire, looking like a 20 something. Thats when his foray into weapon smithing. He has always liked guns and blades and spent some of his free time tinkering with them. With some of the money he saved up, he opened up a small gun shop where he provided gunsmithing services. Through his shop, he discovered his true hobby. Information gathering. He would hear things that come from his customers that, when shared, can mean a number of different things. Of course, he kept his mouth shut, and his wallet full. At current, he is probably one of the more famous arms dealers within the right circles. One knows where to find him, and they would also know that his services don't come cheap.[/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] Equipment [/b][/u][/h3] [b][color=0BE804]Tools⫻[/color][/b]He has tools, of all types and manners. If something is broken, he can probably fix it. [b][color=0BE804]Bag O'Tricks⫻[/color][/b]He has a variety of weapons, most are of his own making. Some may look haphazardly put together, too crude to even be functional. Others, the precision of their craftsmanship make them instruments of war. [b][color=0BE804]Trust⫻[/color][/b]His personal sidearm. Chambered at .50, it resembles a Colt Anaconda. But more...grotesque. More..lethal. [b][color=0BE804]Ace of Spades⫻[/color][/b]His personal weapon. It resembles an AK-47, but, more sinister. Chambered at a standard 5.56 NATO [b][color=0BE804]Fighting Lion⫻[/color][/b]One of his more impractical weapons. An ornate handheld grenade launcher that has metal head of a lion mounted at the port and a pistol trigger. [b][color=0BE804]Funds⫻[/color][/b]His services isn't free. One never quite know how much money he has. [h3][u][b] Abilities/Talents [/b][/u][/h3] [i][color=0BE804]"Let's Do Business."[/color][/i] [b]Metahuman⫻[/b][color=0BE804]If one was to categorize what his powers are, it can be said he is a 'metahuman'. His mutations made him a 'more complete' form of what a human should be. The items below detail what exactly is 'more complete' about him. His power falls into the C+ rank.[/color] [b]Athletic Prowess⫻[/b][color=0BE804] His primary talent. His muscles, nerves and basic reflexes have all been enhanced to grant him superhuman athletic ability. He never thought to measure his 'personal' best. All that he knows is that he can run real fast, jump real high and lift real heavy.[/color] [b]Weapons Handling⫻[/b][color=0BE804] Retaining this skill from his previous profession, he can handle most modern weapons. If he is unsure of the weapon, he can learn of it in a relatively short time. He has the greatest proficiency in firearms, particularly ones he has modified. [/color] [b]Hand-to-Hand Combat prowess⫻[/b][color=0BE804] Having relied on his body to survive for so long, his survival instincts will show through when engaged in combat. [/color] [b]Accelerated Healing⫻[/b][color=0BE804]His secondary talent. Cuts and bruises heals in a matter of minutes, broken bones heal in days and he hardly ever succumbs to the effects of poison or other status altering effects.[/color] [b]Slowed Aging⫻[/b][color=0BE804] His third talent. His cells regenerate so fast that his aging has been dramatically slowed. [/color] [b]Weapon Smithing⫻[/b][color=0BE804] What started as a hobby to pass time with, became a full time profession. He can manufacture weapons that will shock and awe, along with completely impractical weapons.[/color] [b]Information⫻[/b][color=0BE804] His secondary profession. Through his years, he has gained many contacts, some of which the heros would be caught dead directly interacting with. That is where he comes in. An agent for the righteous with the darker side of the world. He also has a crew he calls his 'Shadows' that he employs for information gathering purposes.[/color] [h3][u][b] OTHER [/b][/u][/h3] [i][color=0BE804]"You can't outrun the sunrise"[/color][/i] [indent][indent]"Hey, hey.

His family was the definition of middle class. IKEA furniture adorned his house, and they still do. He went to school, played with friends, and grew up in relative peace. Around age 15, during what would equate to the 9th grade, his powers manifested. One afternoon, he was out playing football (soccer) with his friends. Being that he was a tall 6'1" at the time, he was relegated to being the goalkeeper. It just so happened that the kids his friends and himself were playing with played for the local under 16 club. So, to say that they were far and beyond better than William and his friends would be an understatement. William was getting peppered. Shots coming in from left, right, and center. Frustrated, he reached his hands out when one of the kids struck the ball from about 25 yards out, the ball bending at an unnatural angle. William, thinking to himself, if the ball would just stop, that would be great. Lo and behold. The ball was halted mid-flight by a stream of water. The kids, his friends included, looked on in amazement. Most of them were very accepting and thought it was the coolest thing. But there were of course a few that ran off and told their parents what they saw. They then in turn alerted the authorities. General community resentment of the 'mutated' was present. William, and his family by extension, were seen as outcasts. After a few more years of living under that shadow, they decided to move. Castleburg was the city they chose, East Flank to be precise. They settled there, where William was accepted to work with H.E.R.O. and thus began their lives in Castleburg. [/indent][/indent] [h3][u][b] Abilities [/b][/u][/h3] [b]Hydrokinesis⫻[/b][color=1B8DD3]William can manipulate water. Namely, water and its thermo-conductive nature. That is not to say he can manipulate steam of ice. He can get water that is boiling or just above freezing, but not actually to that level. He can also conjure bodies of water. The larger the amount, the more taxing it is on him. Filling a regular sized backyard pool? Sure. Filling an Olympic-Sized pool? He might be out the rest of the day. Ranked at an A-[/color] [h3][u][b] OTHER [/b][/u][/h3] [indent][indent]William does not really have an accent when he speaks, and he really likes the hip-hop scene.[/indent][/indent] [/hider] [hider=Relations] [center][h1][b][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200307/27d9d1c589f16dcbe0b4144a5496ae8f.png[/img][/b][/h1][/center] The Drifter, being a businessman that plays both sides, are at least neutral with all characters. He does align himself with the darker side of things, as it offered him more freedom to do as he needed. More specifics to be developed throughout the game. [h1][color=0BE804]╚══════════════╝[/color][/h1] [center] [h1][b][img]https://fontmeme.com/permalink/200406/5d149abf2ba816b2121adb6f016a019a.png[/img][/b][/h1][/center] William, being of similar age to most of the player controlled heroes, are at least acquaintances with them. Though, he has some specific thoughts on specific characters as detailed below. [h1][color=1B8DD3]╚══════════════╝[/color][/h1] [b]Starbright/Noah Bell ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"Uh. He needs to stop being so focused on popularity. Its like he is trying to be the protagonist of a shonen anime..." William would say about Noah. Not that he isn't friendly with him, its more so just how William sees Noah go about their jobs. Even though quite a long time has past, William still doesn't really know what to say about Starbright. "Like. Who the fuck is thus dude? Where does he go all the time?"[/color] [b]Firebird/Blake Ignatius von Brandt ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"He needs to literally chill out..." William would say about Blake. William, not only because their elemental affinities are natural opposites, just thinks that Blake is too impulsive. Not that having some sort of drive to get things done is a bad thing, more so just that Blake needs to think before he acts sometimes. Through various interaction, William has deemed Blake to be one thing. His fucking [i]nemesis[/i]. William hates his guts... "Who am I kidding. Blake is one of the boys. All the parties he had at his house. Fucking Rog. Seriously."[/color] [b]Aria/Patricia Donnelly ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"She is pretty cute...?" William has not had a lot of interactions with Patricia. Though, he does find her attractive. Being one that can't hit any sort of notes, William finds Aria's powers fascinating as well. Upon discovering her actual age, William stop seeing Patti as 'attractive'. She has become the angsty little sister to him. She likes to act like she is old ehough for all of this. And she might be. But, it doesn't stop William from trying to shield her from whatever harsh realities he things she is not ready for. "Patti. She just...is Patti. She needs to stop yelling at me all the damn time. Yes, Brie and I canoodle. Yes, we do those things in public. If you were not such a little [i]baby[/i] you'd understand..." [/color] [b]Quake/Jamie Stewart ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"...." William has no words for Jamie. She is so pure that it makes him cringe sometimes. How can someone be so innocent, yet pack such destructive powers? Through their various interaction, it is plain to see that Jamie has a good heart. She means well. Though her methods can be a bit...off...at times. She is definitely a friend. "[i]Sigh[/i] What more can I say about Jamie... She needs to...sharpen up, as much as she can, I suppose. Otherwise she is one of the good ones."[/color] [b]Static/Brianna Hart ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"I....yeah..." Brie makes William's heart skip a beat. Not simply because she can probably shock him into cardiac arrest. William just finds Brie's personality thrilling. She is reckless, and wild, and fun, and freckles... In any case. Yeah. William is currently crushing hard. Though he doesn't know how to show it. As time went on, Brie actually became William's girlfriend. He couldn't be happier for it. She keeps his life out of the monotonous drag that is doing actual HERO work. He TRIES to keep her alive through her numerous extracurricular activities and silliness. "This girl, I swear. Its not enough that she damn near shocked me to death that one time. She literally keeps me on my toes ALL. THE. TIME. and I lo -uh- I appreciate her for it."[/color] [b]Spacewalker/Thomas Rees ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"I wish I had his powers..." William is secretly jealous of Thomas. His powers are incredible. Now that they have interacted a fair bit, William sees Tom as a good friend of his. One of the boys, so to speak. 'If only he would just get with Grace already, the prick."[/color] [b]Rune/Joseph Moore ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"He...is fine." William is quite neutral in his thoughts of Joseph. Yes, Joseph calls him, along with just about everyone else, some sort of nickname other than their actual names, but thats fine. If that keeps him happy... So. They've interacted. Joseph is still the same Joseph from before. "He. Needs. To. Stop. Moping. Seriously. Its like constantly taking a depression pill with this guy."[/color] [b]Sir E. Brum/Rumi Bers Polamor ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"I wonder who is smarter..." Between Spectre and Sir. E Brum, William constantly debates with himself about who is the smarter one between the two. While Spectre is simply smart, it is literally Sir E. Brum's powers to [i]be[/i] smart....[/color] [b]Bulletproof/Hugo Powers ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"Sir...." William would say with a scowl on his face. Hugo is the leader of H.E.R.O. and thus William respects him. An event in the past led to William seeing Hugo shirtless and he never wants to again. "Motherfuckrrrr. Thats all" William has seen Hugo Powers in less clothing than he ever wants to see, nothing more needs to be said. [/color] [b]Bypass/Grace Mok ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"She is like...work mom most of the time. And she is rich as fuckkkk. Too good for Tom, really." A newer addition to the CREW. Grace has slowly integrated herself into their core group. William obviously doesn't mind. She is good at what she does. She has the money to post bail for them as needed. Like. What more can William ask for? [/color] [b]Murmur/Eliza Alexander ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"She needs to be protected at all costs." Thats really. Protect the bean that is Eliza. Thats all. But seriously. [/color] [b]Wish/Angelica Alexander ⫻[/b] [color=1B8DD3]"Muffin." Blake's better three-quarters. The only other official couple is known and also openly canoodles. When the word 'muffin' is used, William will always chuckle. "Yeah Blake, you muffin you." [/color] [/hider]
