Will lives in a car. It's a nice car, as these things go. It's an Oldsmobile. He's got some clothes in there, and a couple of books and most of Meat Loaf's cassettes. He also has a bunch of knives. Maybe leave Will alone.
Will's had it rough, and he's never forgotten it. He's seen more in 18 years than most people have in twice that, and he hated it all. But what do you do when you're too hurt to forget, too angry to forgive, and too weak to get revenge?
You find someone to do it for you. And if all they ask from you is a few carvings, well, Will got good with a knife years ago. He's just cutting something besides meat now. Cosmia has his back, and they've shared a Secret. He'll do anything for her. Anything. Occasionally, he does it before she tells him she needs it. And she smiles at him. And everything's okay. For a tiny moment, the Light fills him, covers him. He drowns in it, the warmth, the silence, the Love. He's addicted to Love, really. That's not so bad, right?

Appearance
Physical Description
Surprisingly trim; infrequent meals and lots of physical activity have made muscle where there might be fat.
Body Features
Frequent fights are doctored by amateur hands, and there's always a Band-Aid or gauze pad on his face. They always seem to aim for the face. He has multiple piercings in each ear, as well as a nose ring. His head is shaved on one side, clearly a hack job with a set of clippers, and the rest is cut short with a knife or sword, giving it a messy look that costs a couple hundred at a salon.
Facial Features
A scattering of freckles, a button nose, and lips with a touch of pout to them make Will's life difficult. Jokes about being a girl escalate, and then it's time to fight.
Identifying Characteristics
A heavy hoodie that never seems to come off, hands covered in scars and pronounced knuckles from a lot of punches thrown. His nose has been broken before, and it set slightly off-kilter, so he tends to not look at people straight on.
Physical quirks
Will sinks into his hoodie and pulls the hood up when he's upset or scared. He sucks his canines when he's mad.
Apparel & Accessories
Bulky clothing, heavy boots, and a knife or two. He carries no phone, no pager. His keys, a wallet with a couple of twenties, and a keychain with a larvae suspended in amber.
Specialized Equipment
He survives. No matter what happens to him, he's learned to do what it takes to make it through it. He'll get his eventually. Just a matter of time.
Special abilities
Will can scrap, well enough to get out of a bad spot, at least. (Volatile 1)
His real power comes from communion and ritual with Cosmia. (Dark 2)
Mentality
Education
GED from online courses at the library. He's not really enrolled in the community college, but it's air-conditioned, and the cafeteria is pretty cheap.
Employment
Whatever will make a few bucks. Odd jobs, and the occasional mugging.
person.sexuality
Unknown. He's never really expected someone to be interested in him, so he's never examined it in himself.
person.gender_identity
Male (AFAB)
Known Languages
English, Lepidopteran(Moth/Butterfly, and Canterbury Pixie.), hobo-sign

Honorary & Occupational Titles
Beloved of Cosmia
Wealth & Financial state
A car, and a few bucks. He'll get it as he needs it.
Family Ties
Cut a long time ago. They were the worst. They're also the reason he doesn't sleep where people can get at him.
Religious Views
None of that matters. Cosmia is coming, and no one even cares enough to know that they might want to stop him.
Social Aptitude
He sucks at peopling, to put it bluntly. He's convinced all people are bad somehow, so he doesn't even try to connect.
Mannerisms
He doesn't express well. Flat, monotone, only the volume goes up when he's pissed. He dislikes being touched.
Hobbies & Pets
He always seems to have a moth or two hanging around.
He used to skateboard. Was pretty good at it, too. Now he collects things he might need later, and he reads, and he carves. He carves endlessly.
Speech
Clipped, with a slight drawl he can't quite seem to get rid of.
