William de Sandford

From My Universe
Jump to: navigation, search

William grew up with a single goal. To be a Knight of the crown (England). He and his friends worked hard and competed against each other in the hopes of making the rank. His family was well off and he enjoyed the finer things in life. His life was very ordered and focused on discipline. He disliked chaos and disorder. Many described him full of strength and willpower.

In 1347, he was conscripted by Jacques de Volker and Bertram de Weiland to join the Templar of New. He did not want to go, but by order of the Pope, he was required to. He feels that all he worked so hard for has been taken from him. Prior to Second Plague Pandemic, there were very little Vampires in England and Wales. Due to this, he never hunted or killed a Vampire before. Fortunately, his great skill in combat makes up for his lack of experience. Though he often relies more of intuition and instinct that wisdom and knowledge.

When it comes to Vampires, he is a bit timid. One might say he is afraid of them, but it is more of he doesn't understand how to fight them effectively. Bertram tries to teach him and while William listens, he mostly just does as he is told. He is not concerned too much with the overall conflict, just wants to defeat the Vampires and carry on with his life. He is disconnected with the other members, having no personal connections with the others. Deep down, he hates the other members for what they stand for.

He focuses on what he could have had if not for Jacques and Bertram, the glory and honor. Lacking this leaves him wondering his true place in the world and fears that with everything he has seen, the world he left will no longer be there.

Others respect that he is a great combatant and understand his lack of experience. They dislike his complaining nature. He affects moral and has no focus on the overall issue.

A. Inner circle (3, 8, 9, 14) Core self/Direct role in story He is headstrong, full of strength and will, but hates chaos. He does things out of obligiations and follows orders. He is obsessed with what he doesn't have. Despite his great skill, he is easily overwhelmed by Vampires due to the lack of his experience with them.

B. 1 Circle (2, 3, 5, 8) Path he is on He works hard to earn the things he wants, but prefers if those things come on a platter by a beautiful woman. He also dislikes his placement with the Templars, as they conscripted him. He is full of strength and will and favors order and balance. He hates disorder and chaos. He never fought vampires growing up and is ignorant of them and a bit fearful of them. Because of all of this, he is disconnected from the rest of the group.

C. 2 circle (7, 8, 9, 10) Personal Feelings He appreciates what Bertram is offering him and he tries to learn, but he simply follows orders and remains disconnected from the others. He is obsessed with what he could have had and disappointed with what he doesn't have. He relies more of intuition than logic.

D. 3 circle (9, 12, 14, 15) Self Image (how he sees himself) He focuses a lot on what we wish he had, what he worked so hard for. Because of this, he questions his place in the world and unsure of what to really do. His lack of experience with Vampires leaves him at a disadvantage in the group and maintains his will and strength to make up for it.

E. 4 Circle (3, 4, 13, 14) Outward self (How others view him) While certainly a ladies man, he is a highly skilled warrior. He is strong, full of willpower. He is organized and disciplined. But he complains a lot about what he had to give up.

F. Outer Circle (1, 6, 11, 16) Obstacles (What weights heaviest on his mind, what holds him back) Thanks to his childhood desire to be a great Knight and the hard work he did, he is able to balance his fear and ignorance with his inexperience with Vampires. Still, he fears that things will never be the same again, and all that he loved will not be there for him. He is more concerned with what he gave up and what he doesn't have, and this often distracts him.
