Nationality: American
* Physical Appearance
Height: 6'4"
Build: Slim, but toned.
Hair Colour: Dark auburn
Hair Length: Short
Hair Style: Very curly
Eye Colour: Green
Glasses/contact lenses: No.
Unique marks: A small birthmark on his left cheek. No, not that cheek..
Anything else: A smattering of freckles on face and arms; also he power naps five or six times a day for about 20 minutes each time, so he can stay up late to get things done without interruptions. He can sleep just about anywhere.
Personality
Quiet: he prefers to listen. He seems to instinctively know the right questions to ask to get someone to open up, but doesn't talk much about himself or his family. He isn't often spontaneous, but when he is, he accepts the consequences if it goes wrong. Highly intelligent, he can absorb and process information easily, enabling him to make decisions quickly. When it comes to trivia games, he more than holds his own. He was on the swim teams in high school, and at the Naval Academy. He has a wicked sense of humor and if a practical joke is played on him, he'll laugh it off. He enjoys learning new things. When working, he is methodical, but works to get it done right, and quickly.
General Information
Likes: Avid reader. Likes swimming, scuba diving, sailing; enjoys music, especially jazz and blues
Dislikes: He dislikes people who don't follow through or who don't do what they say they will; is not always the most patient of people; doesn't like jogging (thinks it's a waste of time)
Favourite food(s): Steak mostly, but enjoys trying other dishes.
Least favourite food(s): Artichokes, bell peppers and liver
Favourite colour(s): Denim blue and black
Best qualities: A good listener, intelligent, polite, generally tactful; has a good sense of humor; not afraid to get dirty
Worst qualities: He hates having to apologize, even when he realizes he needs to. He'll do so, but will quietly chide himself first, for getting himself into a situation where he has to. Fortunately, he doesn't take long to do this, and it's usually with actions, rather than words. He waits until he has no clean clothes left before he washes any, despite his military training.. He can be impatient with people, if he feels they aren't keeping their word.
Hobbies: Water sports/activities, hands-on working on cars, planes and jets, both rebuilding and maintaining them
Talents: Plays harmonica; can carry a tune; also whistles beautifully; has been known to completely dismantle and rebuild a car engine in one day; he's done it three times since he was a teenager to three completely different vehicles. He learned several magic tricks when he was a kid, and has not forgotten them, though he hasn't done them in a while. He has a quirk where he tends to drop the "g" on any verb ending with "ing" when he is stressed, excited, overwhelmed, angry, etc.
Clothing style: Neat and comfortable
* Education
Will graduated from the US Naval Academy with degrees in mechanical engineering and systems engineering. During his senior year, he also studied computer science in the academy's Trident Scholar Program.
* Occupation
Will was in the Navy for ten years. During that time, he commanded a team of mechanics, working alongside them on the jets, and on various systems aboard the ship. He took a leave of absence, due to a family emergency that lasted for 18 months. He decided not to return, got a discharge, and currently works for his father in the San Francisco branch of repair shops. He could become the new mechanic, able to work on auto, boat, and jet engines and systems. He could also work on other systems, helping to maintain, upgrade and possibly help reprogram/rebuild them.
* Health: No allergies or phobias; is in excellent health
Family
Will is single. His parents (Leonard and Joanna) are still alive. He has two siblings, both younger - a sister, Jenny (30), who is married with three children, and a brother, Mitchell (28)
Biography
Will was born in Carefree, Arizona and learned to fluently speak both English and Spanish before he even started school. He learned to read and write by the time he was four (when he was able to start school), and this, plus his ability to learn things easily, caused the school to have him skip the second grade. While in school, he learned French and German. His father owns a string of auto and boat body/repair shops in two states (Arizona and California), and Will spent a few hours after school and weekends - starting when he was fourteen - working at the one closest to home. Prior to that, he'd worked with his father on their own cars. During the summers, the entire family would vacation at a place where they could indulge in water sports, as both parents grew up around water, and the kids inherited their love for water based activities. (FYI, Arizona has the second highest number of boat sales in the country - the contiguous 48 states.) Will, his father and his sister all learned scuba diving during one vacation in Florida, where they have a second home.
He graduated high school as salutatorian, only .001 points behind the valedictorian, his high school sweetheart. Since he was only sixteen, he was unable to enter the Naval Academy right away (minimum age is 17), and used that year to take online courses in computers, continue working for his father, and indulge in his hobbies. When he did enter the academy, both his intelligence and his high work ethic enabled him to receive two separate degrees, and he left with the rank of lieutenant and an additional language learned - Russian. He was also able to enter the academy's Trident Scholar Program (see below) during his senior year, enabling him to do in depth research in mechanical engineering. He spent his entire time in the Navy aboard one aircraft carrier, where he planned to remain until he retired.
But his brother got hooked on a new narcotic, and caused the entire family a great deal of trouble. Will resigned from the Navy to help his family try to straighten his brother out. They were successful with Mitchell, but his parents' health suffered. It took another six months for them to recover, helped by the month long Mediterranean cruise the three siblings sent them on. During their vacation, Will took over for his father, and even managed to make some improvements in procedures, without ruffling any feathers. When his parents returned, his father was impressed with how well Will took care of the business. He'd opened a branch in San Francisco three years before, but it was only breaking even. So he offered Will management of it. Will accepted the offer enthusiastically, and within two years it had become very popular.
Entrance: Will has managed the San Francisco branch of his father's repair shop so well, it practically runs itself. He has trained a few people to be able to take over for him, or take over if his father decides to establish another shop. But he misses the "hands on" approach. One day, browsing through want ads on the internet, he sees one for a mechanic for Tracy Industries. Since he has acquired a taste for travel through the Navy, and never got to go to Australia, he decides to send in an application.
