Name: William (now prefers Will)
Race: Human
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Class: Soldier
Appearance:
Will stands at about 6'1". He has shorty, messy, dirty blond hair, and a fairly rough complexion, including a scar going horizontally across the left side of his cheek. Yet his brown eyes are comforting and pleasant, reflecting his generally calm demeanor. He has slightly tanned skin from the long time he spends out in the sun, and a fairly toned body due to his rigorous training back as a knight of Aecilia.
Will generally dons nontraditional armor, something custom-designed and suited for the agile lifestyle of a mercenary. His basic outfit involves a simple set of trousers and a shirt, in this case a dirty-white pair of pants and a dark brown shirt. Over his shirt, he suits up his armor, which involves a bluish-green set across his shoulders, chest, hips and legs/boots. He also has a dark-green leg strap on his left upper-thigh, where he keeps a small, hunting knife.
Inventory:
x1 Iron Lance: A simple, sturdy Iron Lance, Will's preferred weapon of choice.
x1 Hunting Knife: A small hunting knife Will keeps in his leg strap, mostly to cut small fruit, but can also be used as a last resort weapon should he be disarmed.
x2 Vulnerary: Small healing medicine for minor to semi-minor wounds.
Allegiance: Neutral, but being a former knight of Aecilia leans him toward that side.
Personality: Will is characterized by a cheerful, calm, and relatively polite disposition. Despite his status as a mercenary, he is thought to be quite honorable by his peers, taking contracts with those who are in more desperate need of assistance first, and those that pay well second. He would hardly ever take up contracts with people he believes to be corrupt, destructive, or morally heinous, even if they are offering a mountain of gold. His knight training and discipline has taught him the importance in honoring a contract that he has accepted, and fulfilling the wishes of the contractor to the best of his abilities.
Will is also a practical man. He understands when he can and cannot do a task, and never pushes or forces someone to do anything. He accepts the limits of his companions and friends, and works with them so that they may be utilized in the best way. He is also realistic in his expectations of himself and the contracts he would choose. He would never go into a situation where he knows he can't win, or accomplish the task. Nor would he throw away an opportunity for money when an easy situation presents itself. This occasionally has involved working with slightly compromised individuals, but he makes sure never to push the boundary too far. This is for two reasons. Besides satisfying his own moral standing to help those that truly need and deserve to be helped, he also seeks to maintain his mercenary group's reputation, which would give the opportunity for more work.
Will holds family and those he considers friends in high regard. He can become quite protective over them, and he purposely ensures, especially with Platina, to keep them out of harms way. He can also be found constantly joking around and acting jovial with them in their downtime, participating in games and all manner of silliness. However, he will also be willing to go the distance for them, whether it is to defend their honor or their life. This occasionally conflicts with his practical manner, which he would abandon should it come to a decision between those he cares about and his reputation or life.
When it comes to fighting, however, Will is all business. He ensures his group is a well-oiled machine, coming into bouts ready to go and with as little weaknesses and distractions as possible. As he would say, he only picks fights he knows he can win. He treats all opponents who challenge him to a fight with respect, and therefore out of that same respect, doesn't hold back when he fights, as he considers it an insult to them.
History:
Will was born in a small town in the countryside of the Kingdom of Aecilia. His was a simple upbringing, his parents owning their small patch of land in the middle of the Kingdom. It was the three of them, his father doing mostly farmwork, while his mother took care of him. It was an unremarkable childhood, one which Will couldn't really complain about, being that it was all that he knew. When he was old enough, Will began to help his father out on the field. The days rolled on as they normally did. Will would occasionally meet up with a group of local boys and run around, but nothing exciting ever really happened around.
That is, until a group of Knights of Aecilia were rumored to be coming close to Will's village. The entire town was in an uproar, as knight never ventured so far from the capital to see simple folk like them. All sorts of rumors began to spread about the nature of their visit, with some believing they were after a fugitive. Others claimed that they were recruiting. Whatever the case, everyone was excited, including Will. For the first time, something was happening around his area, and he was curious to see what. The knights stopped by a few miles down the road in a nearby set of houses. Will and some other friends snuck toward them to try and figure out what they were doing here. All Will really wanted to do however was see them, just know what they looked like. He had never seen knights before.
When he did, his entire world changed. He was impressed, their nicer, modest clothing covered by the shining, thick metal, with the insignias and banners of the lords they serve on them. Will never did find out why they were in the area. Very few people actually did. But their visit changed Will's outlook on life. He decided that he too wanted to become a member of the knights when he was of age. His parents were hesitant about the idea, them saying that he was simply daydreaming, and that his head was up in the clouds. Will didn't care. It was what he wanted. They all seemed so cool.
His life changed drastically when a young appearing girl came into the picture. Found by herself clutching a strange rock and with no memory of who she was, Will's family decided to take in this girl as their own. Will found himself with a younger sister, whom they named Platina. Initially he was cold to her. However, it didn't take long for him to warm up, even begin to see her as his little sister. As he grew older, she stayed the same. He always felt compelled to look after her, even after learning she was...special. This became more apparent when bandits attacked a village very nearby their property. As they all stayed indoors and waited for the fighting to pass, Will stayed there, unable to do anything. When the knights pushed back the bandits out of the area, Will once more made up his mind to join the knights. His reasoning, however, was much different than it was before. Now, he wanted to join to protect the people he cared about: his father, his mother and his sister, and to protect others in the same situation. This time around, his parents didn't talk him out of it.
When Will came of age, he left for the capital, where he immediately began training for the knights. It took hard work and years of practice for him to work his way through the military and into the knights of Aecilia, but he soon found himself quite handy with a lance, perhaps a side effect of using pikes and rakes on the farm all those years. Although young, his steadfast dedication and talent began to make him earn a name for himself, even catching the attention of some of the veterans. He met with and worked alongside many high-ranking knights, and had the pleasure of meeting with members of the Royal Family on many occasions as well, including Princes Leon and Elwyn. He held both in high regard as worthy future successors to the kingdom.
As the years did pass, Will, or Sir William as he became known, was regarded a prominent knight, but he also noticed something else. Many of the knights' activities were for the benefit of the kingdom, but quite a few never ventured far out of the initial capital area. Will hardly found the time to venture to his home for quite a while, and he even had little time to write letters to his parents or to Platina, who he had not heard from in a while. Suddenly, Will realized the reason that he had only ever seen knights once out in the remote regions of the kingdom: many simply don't venture there. He began to petition around to increase knight activities further away from the capital, and into the more rural areas. He even approached the Crown Prince and Prince Leon on this issue at some point as well, believing his pleas did not fall on deaf ears.
Yet as much as other knights would have liked to and tried to help, it was simply impossible to maintain a presence throughout the entire kingdom at all times, especially the further one went out from the capital. He realized that the reason he had come in was to protect areas like these, and he simply couldn't do it from where he was. As much as he liked being apart of the knights, Will decided to resign, returning back to his home to help protect it. Upon arrival, he found that Platina had left a few years earlier in pursuit of her own talents. Eager to reunite with her, he decided to become a mercenary, offering his skills with a lance to anyone who would have need of them, while earning a living in the process. In this way, he helped people, and helped himself, while maintaining a more loose schedule to have a chance to also help his folks.
Will began to search for Platina. Along the way, he went on quite a few adventures and took up many contracts to support himself. He even ran into Elswin and Esmiel at one point, having gotten lost while searching for Platina, and then being ambushed by bandits. Outnumbered, he was helped by Elswin and Esmiel. He parts ways soon after, continuing his journey and soon finding Platina later traveling alongside another woman of similar traits as her, Nonami. The three decided to travel together as a mercenary band, being together ever since.
