Physical Description:
Dark green eyed, grey haired, pale skin, this would give anyone the impression that William is a sick, frail man. Really he is not, being well built enough to take down or out some strong criminals. His keen eyes make him a good marksman. His grey hair (sometimes has some hair color in it that makes it more of a light brown), is parted to the right.
Besides his cop uniform, he is seen outside of work wearing a dark grey military style jacket, a white checkered button up top, jeans, and brown steel toed boots. His hair stays the same though, parted to the right.
Personality:
Out going, brave, loyal, resourceful, funny, energetic, depressed at times.
History:
William, Will for short, grew up in an average household until his father was arrested for a crime he did understand as he was just six years old, being told that his father left and that he will be back soon. Excelling in school he joined the military as an officer, his goal was to at least reach the rank of Captain. Then one day he went to work just as the attacks in London happened. Standing there watching the news he wished he could figure out who attacked them and why. Exactly a week later he was deployed to Iraq, before he got onto the plane, his mother told him that his father did some horrible things to other people. His mother, tearfully, told him that she was only telling him this because she thought he will not be coming back home from Iraq alive. He made her a promise that he will keep coming home alive and that if he were to take one bullet that he will leave the military. Serving his first tour, he saw some gruesome things, but nothing major happened, just some gun battles here and there, but was mostly behind the front lines. Going home after three years in Iraq he was plagued with nightmares, despite his mother’s pleas he went back to Iraq again.
This time though he was in the front lines as the Taliban became more aggressive than the last tour he served. They were small, weak attacks, to William though he felt that they were testing his squad. One day, he and his squad went out to do a patrol when a large group of the enemy ambushed them. Before William could take cover behind a building, he took a bullet to his left shoulder and left arm. Immediately he was sent home after his wounds were fixed up. Sitting in the military hospital was painful, naturally he wanted to be back on the battle field with his brothers, well his friends. Going home with his mother, as she wanted to know that he will be alright before she sends him back to his apartment on his own, he was honorably discharged from the army.
William knew that his military pension will be barely enough to pay for his bills, but not enough to pay for everything else. But he was finding it hard to find work as he was suffering from depression. His mother pushed him into going out and looking for a job. Well he had no choice as it was his mother telling him to do so. Heading out he walked to the nearest park and thought about somethings and figured that maybe he could try for the police force. Walking to the nearest police station he asked if they were hiring, of course the woman looked at him with a strange look, but then when William told her that he was ex military she gave him a form and sent him home telling him that he will need to do some other things.
Eagerly, William worked on his cover letter and resume as well as the form. Deep inside he felt as though his skills and military experience were not going to be enough, he handed it in anyways. He waited eagerly for three days before he got a call, and learned that he was accepted in and that the police chief wanted to interview him. After the interview, the police chief was highly impressed and hired William on the spot.

Additional medical information:
Has an old bullet wound to the left shoulder and arm from Iraq, and has PTSD from the war as well due to what he saw and experienced.
After William took a bullet for Nate, he depends on a cane to get around, at times though he will walk around without it and claim he “Forgot it at home.”
** At some point, Will comes down with a form of cancer that makes him look more frail and dependent on the cane to the point he can only stand for 5-10 minutes before his leg gives out.
Role Play Sample:
William walked along the hallway, looking around, a smile on his face. Today was a very good day, caught two wanted men, stopped a bar fight, and is now helping investigate a murder. How much better can it get?
Walking up to a man that was in a hurry to get out, “What’s wrong Sean?”
“I have an errand of mercy to make.” Sean replied.
“I hope she is not too young for you.” William said before laughing as he walked around the corner and up the stairs to his desk. Slipping his coat off he sat down in his chair and started typing on his computer. It looked as though he had a stack of emails, looking at them he weeded out what was junk and what was needed. There was one from his mother.
Dear William,
I hope your day is going great. I know you call me but can you call me a little more often or at least come by to visit? I want to see my little boy more often. You do not know how much I miss you or worried about you while you were off in Iraq, or how much I worry now that you are in the police force. Please make a little more effort to let me know you alright.
Love Mum.
William sat back in his chair thinking of what he could possibly say to his mother before typing up a response and sending it to his mother. Then leaned back in the chair and looked around before back at the computer screen, hearing a faint scream he shook his head, not those screams again! Looking at his watch, he sighed quietly. Then turning his computer off again he stood up to put his coat back on when his partner walked up and tapped his shoulder, signaling for William to follow him. Sighing quietly William followed his partner out of the building to the car, getting in he buckled himself in. Looking over he opened his mouth to say something then saw that it was probably best to not say anything and looked out the window as the car pulled away from the police station.
