First Impressions
Physical Appearance
In appearance Will is almost completely ordinary. He is short and stocky, with slightly long mouse-brown hair that continually falls into his eyes. His eyes are grey, with an odd look of oldness to them. Will's face is round and good-natured, but he maintains a solemn or stoic expression most of the time. He arrived in Adstring while hiking at his aunt's farm, and so he is dressed in jeans, sweater, hiking boots, and a sheepskin jacket. He also has a small knapsack along with him that contains a pair of binoculars, a book, and a bottle of water.
Just above his right wrist, on the inside of his arm, Will has a single unusual scar. It looks like a shiny hairless burn scar, but is in the shape of a perfect circle quartered by a cross.
Mental Presence
But to those characters who have the ability to sense the supernatural, it will be obvious that Will is not so human after all. He is an Old One of the Light, and that is not only a title. In a very real sense, he IS Light. Although he was born as a human and currently believes himself to be only a human child, Will was also created out of one of the two primary elemental forces of his universe. Forces which, in the hierarchy of WIll's universe, lie directly beneath the power responsible for maintaining the operation of the universe.
What the Light is... well at one point a human character says this about it. But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun. ... At the centre of the Light there is a cold white flame, just as at the centre of the Dark there is a great black pit bottomless as the Universe.
It is heavily implied that his true form is a towering pillar of light, although he only appears like that once, to a boy with scrying abilities.
Backtagging: Yes
Threadhopping: Yes
Fourthwalling: Yes. But do contact me about it before you mention anything to Will,. There are some thing about himself I want him to discover for himself.
Offensive Subjects: Limit it the same way you would for any child character.
Hugging: Yes.
Fighting: Yes.
Mind Reading: You can try. Will is capable of sending and receiving both mental messages and images. But he is currently unaware of this. He does have VERY GOOD mental defenses. If someone tries to break into his mind he is likely to lash at their minds as a reflex without knowing what he is doing.
Other Permissions
Will has a certain ability to tell whether someone is human or not. And more specifically, whether someone belongs to the Light or the Dark. That last won't be coming into play here, as the concept of Light and Dark in his canon doesn't really match up with any other canon's concept of Light and Dark powers.
Is it okay for him to simply know whether your character is human or not? At this point he won't be aware of this on a conscious level, but it is likely to affect his subconscious response to meeting people.
