Mwahahaha, wanna have him dragged into a save the world type thing?

@RedTheLoveless

Lmao poor Cas. It means he's so good they found nothing wrong with him and wanted to interact with him asap.

I do have some questions about his backstory and friends/family and his mental state, if you'd like.

@RedTheLoveless

Alright so I guess I should probably start off by saying I would absolutely die for Will. That being said…

Where are his parents in all of this? Parents are very important in shaping a person/character, so how have his parents influenced him? Grandparents? Cousins? Aunts/Uncles? etc.

Does he have a mental condition like ADHD/ADD or anxiety or a slight case of autism or is he a regular neurotypical human?

How come he is able to keep a happy disposition after his brother took his own life? Would the death of a close loved one heavily affect your character in the negative or the positive? Would your character read up on suicide awareness and prevention because of this? Would your character be happy or sad or a mix of the two if/when he talks of his brother?

Is he accident-prone or clumsy since he broke his arm a lot? Has he overcome that trait or is it still with him?

@Hey_Its_Snowy_And_Im_Generally_Confused

His parents sort of neglected him after his brother died, so Will hung out with friends more and didn’t seen too much time at his house. He figured the way they were treating him wasn’t going away anytime soon, so he found his own ways to keep content. Needless to say, he was very happy going off to college.

He has a mild case of anxiety that only shows up when he’s in a large crowd or when people don’t give him room to breathe, something that’s stopped him from going to concerts.

Will definitely misses his brother, but keeps a light heart. His parents were way more affected than him by the death, even though Will and him were close. He thinks his parents sadness distracted from his, and he also had great friend s to cheer him up.

Nah, he was just a risk taker. He loved climbing things and playing sports.

Thank you for your questions!

@RedTheLoveless

Thank you for your answers! I absolutely would sacrifice myself for Will so yeah he's absolutely fantastic. I hope my questions helped in any way and for you to continue making such great characters!
