CHARACTER FILE



PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
At first glance, William looks like a "cool guy". He gives off an aura of confidence, and, normally, he has sort of a smug look on his face.William stands tall and straight. When standing he does tend to put all his weight on his left leg. He is slightly taller than Yumi, and he is well-built. He does not have muscles bulging from his arms and legs, but he is built enough to be good at most sports. His hair is unnaturally black and there are always a few stray hairs on his head. His hair is not long enough to pull up into a ponytail. His skin is fair and free of blemishes and acne.

William likes to keep his arms and legs covered. He wears blue jeans rolled up enough to reveal the boots he wears. Layers are also something he enjoys because he usually wears a black short sleeved shirt on top of a red long sleeved shirt. If he is not wearing a shirt underneath top, he will put on a tan jacket. William always tries to have the color red in his outfit, and he is always wearing boots, as it is what he feel comfortable in.


PERSONALITY:
William is overconfident, and he is not afraid to say what he wants. He is known to pursue things when he wants them. When he sees competition he feels the need to try and surpass his competitor. He always feels like he has something to prove, so he decides to try and outdo everybody. William is also known to make rash decisions that may hurt or harm others. He never means to hurt anyone.

To new people he has a outspoken attitude, but, sometimes, when he is by himself, he can seem like a loner. He When a situation requires him to be serious, he will be serious and stern. He will try him best and put his all into protecting others when the time calls for it. He can be a jerk sometimes, but that is because he is focused on his own needs and desires. If he ever has a problem with someone he is not afraid to confront them about it.

On Lyoko, he is still very much of a newbie. He made a very rash decision to keep on fighting monster when Jeremie told him to stop and run. William even went up against the Scyphozoa. This says that he is brave and daring though the choices he makes may be foolish and stupid. However, under the control of XANA he was a tough opponent for all of the Lyoko Warriors, and he would keep fighting even when he was going to lose against one of the Warriors.

STRENGTHS:
• William is good at sports. This makes him athletic, and it gives him some skills that would be useful on Lyoko.
• William is able to express his feelings well. This makes him a very transparent person. He is not afraid to let people know what is on his mind. This can sometimes be translated as rudeness.
• In a unsafe situation, William becomes a leader. If there are others in danger, he will do everything he can to keep people safe. When students at Kadic were acting strange(zombified), he made sure no one left the cafeteria for their own safety's.

WEAKNESSES:
• William can be very competitive. He does not like when people are better than him at something. He is constantly trying to outdo Ulrich Stern. He feels the need to be better. He also feels like he he needs to be redeemed. After being freed from XANA's control, the other Warriors don't trust him, and William is always trying to impress them so that he can redeem himself.
• William makes rash decisions. His first time in Lyoko, he used brute force to destroy monsters, and he got cocky. He decided he was good enough to go up against the Scyphozoa. This decision ended up in him becoming XANA's servant and end up betraying his team.

LYOKO:
Appearance

When he is on Lyoko, he takes on the appearance of a warrior. On his first trip on Lyoko, William wore a silver and blue and blue form-fitted suit with black outlines and a red belt. After being attacked by the Scyphozoa, William started to sport a black form fitted suit with red outlines. XANA's sign is in the middle of his chest, and XANA's sign is also on his forehead. The only thing in common that his two suit have is the color red is incorporated into both. After he was freed from XANA's control we do not know if he kept the black suit, as he has not been to Lyoko since he was freed. Now, William has a new outfit on Lyoko. He wears a black form-fitted suit with red and grey outlining. He has two black straps that go over his right leg. He also wears black boots.

Abilities

William's weapon is a Zweihander. It is a very big sword that requires William to use both hands in order to use it. When he first tired to wield it with one hand, he failed and realized that he was able to use it better with two hands. Zweihander, roughly translated, means "two hands". His sword is able to fire energy beams. His sword is very heavy, but it is very powerful as well. It can cut through monsters with ease. When he runs with his sword, it is usually rested on his shoulder.

William has Super Smoke as his ability. This is when he is able to turn himself and his sword into smoke and move at very fast speeds. This ability is similar to Ulrich's Super Sprint, but it's just smoke. Under XANA's control, William had several other abilities, but he no longer has those, as he is free from XANA's control.

Now that he is free from XANA, William is an untrained warrior. He is used to fighting monsters, and he is pretty bad at hand to hand combat now. He is easy to devirtualize, and very easy to attack. He still has a lot to learn in order to become like his more experienced counterparts.

HISTORY:
William was a very loud child. He was full of energy, and he never really listened to his parents. As he grew up he started to develop a rebellious streak. Hie father often scolded him for his reckless and rebellious behavior, but his mother was always the one who calmly talked to William about his behavior. He is always more likely to listen to his mother. William and his father would always but head. When his father yelled, William yelled, and when his father argued, William argued. The two do love each other, but they find it hard to communicate with each others. Conversations between them that don't involve arguing and yelling are very short. William's parents describe him as a "dynamic and rebellious youngster". Despite this, they love their son dearly.

Before he attended Kadic, William attended another boarding school in Paris, France named Foxrick Academy. At this school William had many friends. His best friend was Zishan Fox, the son of the headmistress. William and Zishan were both good at sports, and they both had many personality traits in common. Sometimes, they even finished each others sentences! They were more than friends, they were brothers.

One day during lunch, William collided with a girl. Food spilled everywhere. On his clothes, his face, and his hair. At first, he was ticked. He started to yell at the girl until he actually looked at her. Her golden brown hair ruined by mashed potatoes, emerald green eyes on the verge of spilling tears, and her bright floral dress ruined by gray and imitation meat. William immediately apologized to the girl and helped her up, but then she just pushed him aside and ran away crying.

Later on, William found out that her name was, Autumn Ramirez. She had recently moved to France from Spain to be with her father. She was also very smart. She knew three languages, and she was a talented singer. William fell head over heels for the girl. They were in the same year, but they had no classes together. Whenever he got the chance he would flirt with her, and he would always try and be around her. Autumn continually turned him down. She was simply not interested, but William was persistent. He started to put love letters on her locker, but later, William always found them in the trash or abandoned on the floor.

Now, filled with anger, William decide to pull something absolutely crazy. Zishan tried to talk William out of it, but William just ended up convincing his "brother" to help him write "love" letters. The boys pulled all nighters three nights in a row. To keep themselves awake, they ate a lot at breakfast, lunch, and dinner and drank energy drinks throughout the day. On day four they were finished with all the letters, and William was read to pull his prank. That night, William and Zishan, stealthily posted the love letters everywhere, even on Mrs. Fox's car. That morning, there was an uproar or furious teachers and staff, laughing students, and one angry Autumn Ramirez. William did not even try to hide the identity of who wrote the letters. He had his whole name written on each of them. His parents were called in, and they tried to change the headmistress's mind, but she was not budging. William was expelled.

Zishan was sad that he had to help his roommate pack all of his things. He felt guilty that William was the only one getting punished when they both wrote the letters. Though Zishan insisted that he go to his mother and admit that he had a part in it too, William told him not to. His exact words were, "Did you see the look on my parents' faces when they walked out of you mom's office? I would hate your mom to look at you like that to, Zi." Zishan and William still write letters and talk over the phone to each other.

William transferred to Kadic after he was kicked out of his old school for posting love letters everywhere. At first, he was a loner at Kadic. He had no friends., and he kept to himself most of the time. After he met Yumi he became more like how we know him now. In front of Yumi, William would show off and flirt constantly. When Yumi and William went swimming together, he ended up outdoing Ulrich on the plank. After awhile, William started to notice the Lyoko Warriors, mostly Yumi, disappearing to the infirmary or just disappearing in general. He brushed it off for a bit.

William was very good at sports, and he attempted to keep his grades somewhat good. We can tell that he would call his and talk to his parents often before he was enslaved by XANA. William also started to develop a crush on Yumi. This put him and Ulrich at odds. He found himself always trying to outdo Ulrich when he could. He was not afraid to show Yumi his feelings. He outright flirted with her even when Ulrich was around, but he was able to keep up regular conversation with Yumi.

There was a night when William saw Yumi out late, and being the curious person he was, he decided to follow her. He did not get any good information out of her, but he swore that he would find out what Yumi and her little group of friends were always up to. He would watch Yumi and her friends closely. He started to have very realistic dreams about him and Yumi fighting together. We do not know why William has dreams about this something that he should not remember. He reveals this to Yumi when she needs to go and be off with the other Lyoko Warriors. He made up excuses so that Jim would barge in the dark room and see that Yumi wasn't there. That surely would have got her expelled.

When Yumi came to him and explained to him that his dream was not a dream, and that they wanted him to join the Lyoko Warriors and fight XANA with her and her friends, William was ecstatic. He could be around Yumi and bother Ulrich at the same time. However, on his first trip to Lyoko he was overconfident. He enjoyed fighting the monsters a little too much. He treated Lyoko like some sort of video game. He thought that he could go up against the Scyphozoa, and this foolish decision got him infected. This infection was XANA, and he now had control over the newest member of the Lyoko Warriors.

William does not remember anything that he did while under XANA's control. The Lyoko Warriors knew that William was being controlled against his will because there was a time when Yumi reminded him of his Lyoko Warrior status. This made William break free for any a few moments. He feels horrible, and he has not gone to Lyoko since he was set free from XANA. The other Lyoko Warriors started to avoid him. They no longer trusted him. Even Yumi avoided him for a little bit. When it was time to shut down the supercomputer, William did not attend the little "ceremony".

RP Sample:
William Dunbar was back to where he had started. Nowhere. The other Lyoko Warriors avoided him every chance they got. Yumi seemed to be the only one that engaged in conversation with him. He must have done some really bad stuff while under the control of XANA. A part of him was confused. Was he still a Warrior? What if XANA suddenly came back, and they all got stressed out again? William just sighed and walked past the table the rest of the Warriors sat at. They must have been talking about something serious because they got quiet when he passed them.

William took a seat at an empty table. He did not me to get enslaved. It could have happened to any of them! William started poked at his spaghetti and meatballs. When he had first came to Kadic, he was a loner. He had no one. Then he had met Yumi. She introduced him to so many people. He covered for her and Warriors even before he knew what was going on. William had a feeling they never really trusted him in the first place. This made him angry. Will turned around in his chair so that he could look at Yumi. She was smiling and laughing with the rest of her friends. They used to be his friends too.

"Hey William! What's up?" William turned around to see one of his classmates, Charles, sitting across from him. William simply nodded his head. "I'm just a bit down." he muttered. He kept picking at his food. Charles chuckled and reached over to playfully hit him on the shoulder. "Don't get stressed over her, man! Yumi will come around!" he insisted and started to stuff his face with food. A small smile creeped onto William's face. It was not just Yumi. It was Jeremie, Odd, Aelita, and even Ulrich. They all thought that he was not worthy of being one of them anymore. He wanted to be redeemed. He had to get their trust back. They were not only his fellow Warriors, but they were his friends too. His friends.

William stood up. The screeching of his chair against the tiles causing a momentary silence. "You okay, William? You haven't even touched your food." Charles said, concern clear in his voice. "I'm cool, Charles. See you around, okay?" he told his friend and picked up his tray. He kicked his chair under the table, and he casually walked over to where the Lyoko Warriors sat. He stood there for a moment before he slammed his tray on the table. Spaghetti sauce, noodles, and meatballs scattered across the table. "William!" they all started to complain and clean their hair and clothes. William wiped the spaghetti sauce off of his face before he started to speak. "Look, I know you guys don't trust me anymore, and I totally understand that! Whatever I did or said under his control was not me! I never meant to get attacked by that thing, and you all know it! I get it, you think I can't be trusted. Well you know what? I am going to get redeemed. I am going to prove that I am worthy again! That way, you guys won't have to treat me like this!" he told them fiercely. "I don't care what I have to do. I won't let you guys give up on me. I won't let you exclude me." he said in a lower voice. He looked each one of them in the eyes. He stood up straight and put his weight on his left side. He smiled at them before he turned on his heel and walked away.

This marked the search for his redemption.
