Clothing and Accessories:
Will prefers function over form and doesn't worry too much about how what he wears looks like. He wants clothes that don't restrict his movements and don't get caught into things. Form-fitting clothes tend to be better for the more acrobatic movements while darker colors are good for staying hidden, so usually he wears just that. Not wanting to look too suspicious in a crowd however, he often wears a loose, dark blue wraparound vest over his shirt with a red sash tied around his waist. His shoes are dark and end before they reach his ankles, but the best thing about them isn't how they look, oh no. The soles are very soft, giving Will a silent step and a good feel on the surface he is walking on – though they are less comfortable on long hikes and shouldn't really be used for such. Usually has knives in scabbards on both sides of his hips, as well as a few hip pouches for storing items. Has a pair of half moon shaped reading glasses he needs when, well, reading.

Description:
Will looks like a rather average older male from afar, with skin that is a lighter shade of brown. His looks can be rather deceiving, as the loose clothes hide underneath them a skeleton of a man – but not literally, of course. The man is very thin with barely any mass, made of skin and bones, and it's clear that he doesn't have much in the way of muscles and lacks physical strength. His fingers are long and spidery, though his hands are surprisingly stable and warm considering how he looks like. Will's hair is brown in color and cut short – and quite the disheveled mess. The hair hasn't lost its thickness due to his age – yet – but it does lack a healthy sheen.

His facial features are masculine and sharp, the lack of weight most apparent on them. There's not much roundness on his face, his cheeks hollow. Will's eyes are brown and look rather tired or annoyed most of the time, the many sleepless nights he has had in his life giving him prominent dark rings under them. There are also some noticeable wrinkles around his eyes, honestly making the man look older than he really is. Under his right eye is a mole, almost like some ironic beauty spot on a not-so-beautiful man. Will's nose seems like it has been broken at some point, its sharp angles ruined by a bump in the middle of the bridge. A small, faded scar runs over his thin lips on its left side, gotten from some fight in the past. Will tries to keep his beard shaved, but as he's a rather lazy shaver, he often tends to have some kind of stubble going on. He doesn't really let it grow past the "a bit too overgrown stubble" stage, forcing himself to get it shaven by then.

Personality:
Will doesn't really seem like the most pleasant person. He has seemingly perfected those annoyed death glares that seem to judge your very being with just one glance that drills right through a person. He rarely cracks a smile, and hearing him laugh is almost unheard of. He's a man of few words – and the words he usually says are quite blunt, as he's not one for fake pleasantries. There is a certain aura of intimidation and ruthlessness around the man and his calm demeanor, and he doesn't really seem to get intimidated himself, either.

But unfortunately for him, Will is a lot softer than he would like to admit. He's weak physically and mentally, and knows quite well that letting those one doesn't trust to see such weaknesses will have you being taken advantage of. Or worse. It's better to seem like you're tougher than you are, so others think twice before stepping in your way. His dry sarcasm and pessimism – something he would like to call being a realist – aren't exactly an act, but even if he seems like he's not afraid, it doesn't mean he isn't. Even if he acts like it's a bother to help someone, he does it in the end because he's worried. Yes, he will grumble, especially if he doesn't get paid – well, actually, he would grumble even if he did get paid to keep up his unfriendly persona, but he would be lying if he said that he wasn't feeling genuinely happy when the sick and injured start feeling better. But hey, Will has no qualms about lying.

He's a doctor through and through. His hand should not harm, but heal. A technical pacifist, he understands that sometimes someone needs to be defeated in a violent manner for things to get better, but he would not want to be the one doing that – even if he somehow was able to, which is a bit of a stretch considering his capabilities as a fighter. Will does prefer a more diplomatic approach if it's up to him, perfectly willing to try to talk to any adversaries and change their minds. He is a patient man who can keep his emotions in check… Though of course, he too has his limits.

Will doesn't trust people easily and strangers definitely have it the worst, getting to enjoy the worst of his personality. But those he actually sticks with? Well, it might start getting harder to keep the act up… But he is still going to have to work on his delivery.


In combat, he is out of his element. He is still good at keeping his poker face and looking like he knows what he is doing, but on the inside, he's just frantically trying to figure out a way to slip away and hide in the shadows until hopefully whoever is trying to kill him gives up. But if someone is in trouble, it's very difficult for him to leave them behind…

Notable Skills:
Medical Skills: Will is an actually trained professional in the medical field with experience and knowledge of being a general practitioner and a surgeon. However, as he has also worked on ships as the only one with any medical training and no other help available for days, he has gotten plenty of experience with other related skills. He's not a dentist, a vet or a chemist, not by training nor profession, but when he's the best they got, he's had to learn fast.

Sleight of Hand: Will would like to claim it comes from him having a steady hand for incisions, coming from a lifetime experience of surgery. But his fingers learned to make every little movement count and be as undetectable as possible when they have liberated the contents of someone's pockets swiftly…

Stealthy: He has good control of his body and an eye for his surroundings. To be able to tread silently requires both a controlled step and knowing where to step so the material underneath doesn't give you away, and to be able to hide in shadows need you need to be very well aware of where said shadows are – and if you can fit!

Lockpicking: Though not a skill Will wants to broadcast to the world, he has picked up some… Tricks, due to certain life style choices in the past. Hey, maybe he was interested in becoming a locksmith or something! There's nothing unusual about that. Don't even try to mention the tools he may or may not be carrying with him. He doesn't have much, it's not like he could just… Get rid of them! They could be useful! He could sell them! …But yeah, give him a lock and he can probably tinker with it and get it to open. Pretty fast too, as long as it's not something designed to be extremely complicated.

Sailing Experience: He's no spring chicken and has spent years on the sea. He doesn't do much in the way of manning ships, but he does help where he can. He makes for a pretty good topman, a spider is pretty good at climbing, after all!

Doctor's Handwriting: You gaze upon the note that was handed to you and feel pleased. The writing on the paper looks neat and satisfactory, everything seeming to be uniform in size and spacing, with nice curves and loops that repeat through the letters. Yes, this is a hand that has been writing a lot for years, so certain and experienced. This could be from the hand of an older scribe. But wait. What is this? Something is wrong. Though you were pulled in by the pleasant shapes and lines, you start to understand… That you don't understand. Is the writing system different? Is the note written in a language you can't read? …No, no it is not. Occasionally, your mind is able to pull meaning from the words – the rare odd one here and there, but they exist. The horror creeps up on you, as you realize the initial impression was completely wrong, hiding a sinister truth. The writing on the paper. It is immaculate… But illegible. The curse of the doctor's handwriting has claimed another victim.
