History

The only known history of William (meaning history that you are going to get without extensive searching and resources/influence in Manhattan) is that he was seemingly been around the city for years. He's been known somewhat of a underground hero, someone who comes around just when he is needed, and only stays until he's not anymore. Typically a sign of good luck for the downtrodden, his presence tends to bring great luck for whatever hobo's he attaches himself too, and they tend to...stop being hobos after their time with him.

However, besides this, he has been an affiliated part of the Twilight Detective Agency as a detective for some time. He was a contact and friend of the previous boss, and of course one of the current boss. Will and Mercade tends to get along, but have been known to openly argue with each other over anything from minor to important things, but even then never abandons the older detective. Strings of strange events follow the Hobo Lad, all of them typically good things.

Of course, bad things have been known to happen to those who...have ticked him off. However, they tend to learn very important lessons afterwards.

Personality

William is a very 'go with the wind' kind of person. He doesn't stay around in one place too long (Manhattan is a large place, fyi) with the exception of the TDA. While he's willing to help people out, he never lets himself be boggled down by responsibility, unless he wishes to be, and does not let other people force responsibility on him.

Will tends to say what is on his mind, almost at all times, and has little restraint. He's honest, and tends to avoid lying, but has been known to withhold information when not asked. Beyond that, Will has a unique perception on life, and the world. Beyond this, Will tends to show a great deal of concern for his fellow man, willing to throw himself into trouble to help someone, and will fight bitterly to save people.

He also has some sort of weird...connection and hatred for the Heartless.

Abilities

Fate Sight: Sometimes called the Mystic eyes of fate perception, Will can see the lines of fate and connections between people. Those with important fates are particularly strong on this, and it tends to reveal important things about a person through abstract representation superimposed on Will's sight. Those with strong connections to magic might have glosomer strings, those with heavy ties to the darkness might have strands of darkness spun through their pattern, and those heavily invested in light might be very bright to Will's eyes. Also, they tends to show important connections to things, thick strands showing strong connections, weaker strands showing less connected things. Flaying lines tend to show degrading relationships, and darkening strings tend to reveal hatreds. Ultimately, what Will see's is up to the other player...he can see as much or as little as you want. It's a exposition tool, and nothing more!

Luck Control: William is in tune with the rise and flows of lady luck. He can win any game of chance the participates in with little effort, and anything with a luck component tends to always favor Will. Will can also, with some effort turn the tides of fortune up or down for others, but the effects are typically short lasting.

Unaging: Will does not age.

Parkour: William is very in touch with Urban areas, tending to be able to easily know where to go, where to find things, and run extremely fast through areas where typically it is very hard to get anywhere. Fighting William in a city is an extremely bad idea, and tracking him in his home turf is near impossible.

Hand to Hand Combat: William's skill with hand to hand combat is a combination of self teaching, and various boxing and martial arts techniques he has learned over time. He has, also, learned to combine this with his manipulation over luck. Those that he strikes tend to find themselves hindered by random events...shots go wild, falling items get in the way, they trip over their suddenly untied shoes...

Streetwise: William is very knowledgeable with getting information, or finding things on the street. He knows where to go, who and how to talk to, and how to hinder others.

Detective: He's not as good as one as Mercade, but has learned tricks from the man and the last boss of the TDA.
