Name: William James Reuschling
Age: 24
Appearance: Not especially tall, seems at least twenty pounds shy of healthy even though he sports a mild tan. A long face and a long, straight nose, dark brown hair that barely avoids getting caught in his mouth when it isn't brushed out of the way. Grey, tired eyes, but most people notice the two jagged scars that run from his cheeks and across his left ear. Much of him is hidden by a road-faded blue-grey duster of some kind; the visible portion of his pants are a darker shade than the coat, and his boots are plain, dark hide with tarnished brass buckles.
He crossed his arms a little tighter and frowned. The stranger seemed like an a**, but it wasn't worth telling him about it. Better to avoid fights.
"Uh, there wasn't much choosing for me. When someone tells you that you can be a glorified errand boy slash guinea pig slash bargaining chip or they can go ahead and kill you, you kind of roll with the choice that keeps you alive."
The punk sitting next to him snorted. "So what does that actually make you?"
Will uncrossed his arms and let his hands settle on his coat. The left one in particular seemed to rest on a previously unnoticed bulge. Maybe it was just the way the fabric folded.
"Mostly just an errand boy, these days. You know, trying to rout out fellow paranormally-gifted human beings while convincing my handlers that I haven't gone un-native on them."
He leaned back in his chair, sighed, closed his eyes. "I want to do the right thing, but it's hard to say what that is anymore. You do what you need to survive, you know? I mean, how far are you willing to go to find home again?"
