Disposition:

Monster-obsessed - Upon meeting Will, it won't take long at all for his love of monsters to come up, and once it does come up, it'll be very hard to get him to shut up about it. He can even suffer "withdrawals" when he doesn't get to look at new and exciting monsters often enough. After leaving the Church, Will discovered his love of monsters and picked up a new occupation of studying them. He's pretty much the equivalent of an animal conservationist, except he's going out and studying the habitats and behaviors of monsters instead. His ultimate goal is to prove that monsters don't deserve the rap that they get and to stop the senseless killing and abuse of them. They can be coexisted with!!

Two-faced - Will is often described as a man of multiple faces, in that he has some very distinct demeanors depending on the situation. By default, he's laid-back and very casual. He has a lazy and crass way of speaking, which considering his priestly image, can come off as jarring. Though he seems cheerful enough, there's something a little...off about it, like there's a sense of coldness and detachment from it all. However, once the subject of monsters comes up, it's a completely different story. Will becomes fervent to an unsettling degree and speaks passionately about his purpose in life, almost like how a mad scientist would ramble about their magnum opus. He can be incredibly overbearing about it, leading to him receiving the nickname "Weirdo Will" by a member of the crew he's part of. Rarely, if exposed to monster abuse or even talk of it, Will can snap into a calm rage that is actually quite scary. It's probably for the best that no one ever bring that side of him out.

Misanthropic - Will was initially passionate about his service to the Church, but was exposed to some of the worst parts of humanity during it. Despite his attempts to set sinners on the right path, all he found was people who didn't really want to change their terrible ways. He even found corrupt priests who took advantage of the destitute. What he experienced broke him to such a degree that he left the Church and trained to become an assassin instead, taking out sinners that he believed were far beyond salvation. It was during this time that he also discovered his love for monsters and how they lived their lives purely on instinct rather than taking advantage of others. Though he has lightened up somewhat after meeting Djeeta and her crew, he still has a hard time trusting people and will often default to coldness toward them. He'll also pray for the happiness of monsters well before he does for people.

Soft - Though much rarer than his other traits, it's worth mentioning that Will can be genuinely kind and caring when he wants to be. While he have gave up on serving the Church, he hasn't completely stopped being a priest. He'll still offer guidance to those who he believes are genuine with their confessions, and he'll reach out to heal the wounded. However, the majority of his kindness is reserved for monsters. He'll rescue injured or captured monsters and nurse them back to health, or take care of orphaned ones until they're ready to go out into the world. Basically, there's a little more to the creepy monster freak than meets the eye. It just...takes a lot of digging to find it.

Under pressure: Initially, the biggest struggle Will is going to face is his passion being put on hold. That is to say, he won't be able to continue his monster research until he returns home, and he has been shown to go through "withdrawals" when he goes long enough without getting to do his work. He basically becomes very bored, agitated and insufferable to those who have to put up with him. He'll also struggle with the whole concept of Synchrony due to his general disdain for people and lack of desire to perform intimate acts with them. This may lead to him having to deal with a general lack of Manna and continued hassling from the government. One major thing that will help alleviate this pressure though once it kicks in, is the transformations. They'll give him something to research and make touching people more enticing since they'll have monster features! Win/Win. Of course, there will still be the trouble of actually bonding with people to make the Synchrony more worthwhile, but listen...one thing at a time.

Condition upon arrival: Will is coming in perfectly healthy and uninjured, with a pretty clear mental state aside from uh...everything sustained from wandering through the initial horror landscape. He'll actually be really receptive to the NPCs because of their intriguing physiology!

Abilities:

Combat - Despite what his appearance might suggest, Will is a pretty skilled combatant! He's proficient with both staffs and swords, and he was also trained to be an assassin so he likely has a degree of stealth and finesse in his movements.

Healing Magic - Being a priest in an RPG style game, Will has healing capabilities. He can heal more than one person at a time, and enough concentration can increase the potency of his healing. Being an SR character though, his healing isn't quite that powerful. It'll heal mild-medium injuries, but would only be able to mitigate major injuries.

Dark Magic - Will is a practitioner of Dark magic, and he's shown to both cast it with his wand and infuse his sword with it. He can also inflict debuffs on his foes such as poison, and has a slight amount of resistance to opposing magic. Again, nothing majorly powerful or anything. He can just put up a decent fight with it.

Inventory:

- his wand/sword, The Cross
- a brown leather bag
- his monster study journal

Gembond: Ruby
Gem Location: in the center of his chest
