Name : William Leyland
Alias : Will
Gender : Male
Age : 46
Race : Caucasian; British.
Sexuality : Heterosexual
Marital Status : Widower
Religion : Humanist
Hometown : Holland Park, London.
Current Residence : ??, lived in a semi detached house before the Infection. Recently spotted fortifying a corner shop.
Occupation : Freelance photographer.
Height : 6'6"
Weight : 184 lbs.
Body Type : A near average build. His exercise to keep in shape was performed at a gym as per his now-dead wife's request.
Skin : Weathered and fairly pale.
Eyes : Bright blue.
Hair : A medium length shaggy tangle of black hair fluffed at the top and forwards slightly. The hair that falls down at the back of the neck is greying visibly.
Physical Description : His wife always viewed him as a handsome man, but he himself could never see it. He took pride in his fluffy and soft hair until a few years ago, when it started to grey at the back. Being a photographer, he made sure to dress smartly and keep looking sharp, in case a photo opportunity came up.
After the Infection broke out, and his wife and children were killed, he was no longer proud of anything concerning his appearance. He didn't care whether he'd look good in the photos or not. His small fluffed moustache had been ruffled and roughed, also greying at the edges.
He now wears a ragged blue long-sleeved chequered shirt, covered in the grime of the past. His once smooth cream leggings are now a crinkled muddy brown. He wears rough grey loafers, which find themselves now falling apart at the seams. Slung around his neck is a large black professional photographer camera. In terms of carrying items, he has a large brown satchel also hanging from his neck and around his shoulders.
Voice : Before the Infection, he managed to maintain a gentle yet stern British voice. It was calming and reassuring, with tones of intelligence and wisdom shining through. However, now that he's lost his family, he has no time to be calm and collected. Nowadays, his tone is brash and abrasive, often resorting to foul language and slipping away from proper grammar. It is rare to hear his calming voice any more, unless he feels that he is truly safe, or if someone close to him needs reassurance.
Personality : When the Infection hit, his personality practically reversed. Pre-Infection, he was kind and caring, with patience and diligence. He would always keep his promises and never intended on doing bad. After his family was killed by the Infected, he forced up a shield of emotion to conceal his distraught feelings. He became rough and uncaring, often deciding that as long as something did him good - even at the expense of others - it was worth doing. Every now and then, he tries to restore his old ways, but it never lasts for long.
Likes : The only thing Will likes more than organising group photos, is taking actual photographs. He also highly appreciates anyone who shows any form of concern for his well-being, even if he can't afford to show it.
Dislikes : Will hates bad photos, whether they are his or someone else's, he can't stand them. Will can't stand the fact that his hair is greying so early. He also loathes and fears the death of anyone he's grown attached to. Any deaths following his wife's are even more depressing for him.
Fears : The Infected Tank. Death of others and himself. Breaking his camera at a crucial moment.
Family : Will once had a family, he once had loved ones. That all changed once the Infection hit. His wife and children were slaughtered by vicious and relentless Infected. Barely surviving the encounter himself, his only close family member that was definitely still alive was his trusty camera.
History : (To be added)
Strengths : Will has the remarkable ability to keep moving and going on, even under the most crippling of injuries. He marks it down to his "adrenaline". However, this has the side effect of making him extremely irritable and volatile. His adrenaline also activates if someone he is close to comes into danger, now that he's lost it all, he feels determined not to lose anything else.
Weaknesses : Cannot resist a photo op, even if it could mean death, he has to get the shot. Once he has experienced severe stress, he can easily break down in frustration. That, or he'll resort to drinking heavily, to the point of near incapacitation.
Weapons : A lightweight 9mm pistol that he managed to wrench away from an Infected police officer. It's not really designed for intense fighting, but it has enough firepower to have saved him several times.
