Appearance:
Standing at a solid 6 feet 4 inches, Will is a broad, well built man and weighs 187 pounds. His hair is a smoky black color and he has dark green eyes. While on the academy’s time, Will wears a dark grey shirt with a name tag, indicating his status as Kosaka Academy’s janitor. His casual clothes are extremely casual. His jeans are holey, his shirts worn and torn. And he has glued the soles of his shoes back on more times than he can remember.Image: Personality:
For more formal situations, Will does own a button down shirt, a neck tie, and a pair of holeless slacks. His formal shoes were once shiny and bright but are now dull and worn. Clothes have never really been that important to him so he tends to wear them until they have literally fallen apart. All of his clothes have come from consignment shops, secondhand stores, and yard sales. He just doesn’t see the point in wasting money on clothes.
On his left wrist is an expensive silver watch. It stands out against his normally drab attire. And most wonder where he got it, since he doesn’t make the kind of money needed to actually afford it. He is a smoker and almost always has a pack of cigarettes with him. Even though he always tells people that he’s gonna quit.
Will is an enigma of sorts. He’s not very talkative when it the conversation concerns him. He’s extremely casual and oftentimes comes off as downright rude. But that couldn’t be farther from the truth. He doesn’t care much for appearances, oftentimes opting to rake his fingers through his hair instead of actually combing. That is, if he hasn’t decided to simply roll out of bed.Powers:
He’s smart and often responds to questions about his life with a snide comment or some kind of sarcastic remark. He likes to give advice and thinks of himself as some sort of psychiatrist. But most of the time, Will’s advice drifts between being so pragmatic or so nonsensical, it’s often hard to tell if he’s being absolutely serious or not.
He tells most people not take what he says too seriously because honestly, half the time he doesn’t know what he’s talking about. And he will gladly let you know by telling you that hey, he’s just the janitor.
Absorption: Will has the ability to absorb large amounts of electricity without it hurting him. His skin glows while he is absorbing. But the downside is it leaves him weak for several moments.Skills:
Generation: Not only can Will absorb electricity, he can generate it as well and shoot it from his fingertips like tiny lightening bolts. He doesn't have a lot of control over this power. This power comes from the natural electricity that all humans generate. However, Will's body generates more than normal and this helped his body adapt and his absorption power developed. But because he can't control the generation, he has to time how long he is in water. His showers generally only last about 3-5 minutes.
He is a skilled basketball player. He plays the game a lot and loves playing against anyone who thinks they're better than he is.History:
Will was born during a very volatile time on Kosaka Island when the humes and meta humans were basically at war with each other. His parents were both meta humans who refused to acknowledge their powers. They were poor and lived with a group of homeless people in an abandoned building. And they were relatively happy despite being poor and forced to deny their heritage.Keyword: WC 6/3
Will was 10 years old when his powers made a surprising and violent appearance. He was playing with the other children that lived in their building when suddenly he had a 'surge' (what he calls an involuntary release of electricity) and nearly electrocuted his best friend to death. The people that they lived with were very understanding and accepted Will so long as he promised to keep his powers hidden.
The boy did his best to hide them. But now that they were active, he found that the surges came a lot. He found that he could no longer play in the ocean with his friends. He nearly died twice after having a surge while swimming. His parents did their best to help him, though there was not much they could do because they had very little control over their own powers.
So he grew up, never really learning how to control his powers. He was rather indifferent to the war between metas and humans because of the way he grew up. The people he lived with were all mixes of races. So he never knew anything different.
He lacks a formal education. But was hired as a janitor at Kosaka Academy six months after it opened. While there, he learned how to read and write and now when he’s not taking care of his janitorial duties, he can be found in the library reading.
