Your first character: William Alexander Thompson "Wil"
Appearance: dark brown hair always just in need of a haircut, glittering green eyes that seem to bore right through you, he is courageous, strong, and honorable. He is a little distanced from the world, but very attractive. Wil has a sense of humor, but many people wouldn't guess that about him and are surprised when he says something unexpectedly witty. Wil always plays by the rules and could be labeled 'strict'.
Life thus far (suggestion: mention where s/he's living, where they're from, some of their interests, some notes about his/her family, etc): Wil lives in an apartment complex (D16) by himself. He likes ornate, complex furniture, but really doesn't make enough money to own any so his apartment is a collection of mismatched furniture. Wil is from a small town and is really a country boy living in the big city, but he's adjusted well-although he hates crowds. Wil loves to be outside and wishes for nothing more than a horse and a wide open space. That, however, cannot happen because Wil has lots of responsibilities. He has seven siblings-a brother and six sisters. His mother is still living, but his father died when Wil was fifteen. Wil's older brother, Edward, is mentally retarded and cannot do a thing for himself. Edward lives in an institution, but Wil goes to see him almost three times a week. Wil's younger sisters-Rebekah (19), Elizabeth (18), Mary (17), Anna (13), Caroline (12), and Julianna (8) all live at home and Wil supports them as best he can. His mother never liked working, but has a job to support the girls. Bekah, Lizzy, and Mary also have jobs, but they bring in a meager salary, at best. Wil is very chivalrous towards his sisters and feels it is his responsibility to look after both them and his mother. The Thompson ladies live in a big country house with lots of bright, airy rooms. Wil loves visiting there. Wil works full-time at a department store and part-time on weekends at a men's boutique. Work and family takes up all of Wil's life. He has no time for anything else, like pursuing his own interests or even college-at this point.
