::Civillian::
Name: William Knox
Age: 24
Sex: Male
Hair: Long, blood red hair that is normally tied back in a neat braid.
Eyes: Narrowed, amber colored eyes.
Skin: A dark peach color.
Clothing: He is more often then not seen in almost fancy clothing, things like white button up shirts and black slacks with clean and expensive looking black dress shoes. The one thing he won't wear is a tie, feeling that they feel far to constricting around his neck.
If he could wear an ear cuff like this, maybe with a piece of red spinel in it.
Personality:
Will is a guy who has, since he was young, always been rather driven to succeed. He was the sort that worked hard to get good grades while he was in school, enough so that he was able to graduate early. Once out of school he found himself a job at a fancy restaurant called Slice. He worked hard, starting as just a bus boy, and set about climbing his way up the food chain in the restaurant, and for the moment he's found himself as a manager of the place and now he finds that wants, and needs, more. During his climb there have been many people, male and female alike, that he has stepped on and over, to get to where he is today without really looking back.
Despite this, despite all he's done in the past and being more then willing to sacrifice those around him for his own gain, he has a good amount of charisma to help balance it out. It's not the charisma that comes from grandious speeches, he never tends to try to 'rally' the troops be it in battle or while working at Slice restaurant, some people even know that he is a complete b*****d, but they just can't seem to stand against him. (This goes more for humans/civilians then powered people who have a chance to stand up to him.) He's that sort of guy that, even after he dumps a person in the most lazy way possible, they will say things like 'he's a bit of a jerk and dumped me in a text but I can't be mad at him, he's so hot' and other really mindless things like that.
Now, as well as in the Old War, William/Spinel is the sort that always has a smile on his face when facing whatever Boss he is serving but it's the smile of a snake. He never truly serves with their interests in mind but his own, always plotting to continue the climb up the ladder of power. If he could one day find a way to overthrow Discord, or just break away from her and create his own group with those he bullied and seduced into following him, he would. He wants, not a massive army, but a small, elite force, at his beck and call. He's likely to find those with easily that he can draw to his side with shows or force or trinkets that are worthless to him and he doesn't mind parting with. Those that try to stand up too him need not apply because they are likely to get a severe beat down. As a leader he would be the sort that, were one of his to turn on him, he would merely send another minion to 'do his light work' so to speak. He isn't above playing them against each other either, to make them work harder to one up each other to impress him, either. A little healthy competition never killed anyone, yet.
Those who serve him will do so out of respect, a dash of his charisma, a fiddly little present, an from time to time a healthy dose of fear. If they don't like it? Well the door is right there, better watch your back or you will end up with a knife in it.
Flaws:
~ Me First: He does what needs to be done to get himself ahead in life, he wants to be in charge preferring to order people around then be ordered around, he wants to have the power even if it's something so simple as running the restaurant, and wants to have the attention and affection of the people he is interested in. There is a problem with that last part though...
~ Easily Bored: His interests tends to wane, sometimes quicker then others, and he seems to get bored quickly of (certain) people he is hanging out with (mostly 'love interests') and tends to stop calling them or breaking up with them with lines like 'yeah, this just isn't working out' and various other cliche ways of breaking up with someone. If you have a purpose that you can serve (most likely 'minion' once he awakens to being an Acolyte) he will keep you around but it will be easily enough to tell that he has reasons for keeping you around. This isn't always the case, there is one person out there (if that person is considered lucky or unlucky is yet to be decided) that he wants to keep at his side. (Poor Roderick...)
Know Your Place: Words he will likely actually say. Repeatedly. Tying in with his first flaw listed William (though more as Spinel) is in charge. He is willing on occasion to team up with other Acolytes (or corrupted senshi) but when it comes time to split the prize... well there is no fair split. He is in charge, he gets first dibs on the loot, he gets the majority share of the stolen energy, and if you complain he won't hesitate to knock you on your a** for it. Arrogance on top of Elitism on to of what he feels is his right to lead. He can always find new minions to aid him in his endeavors, he doesn't need anyone, and only allows others to join him because he pities them. (Read that as he hires them on as cheap labor but pretends its for other reasons). The only one that will ever be treated as less then a nameless follower (he won't bother to learn the other Acolytes names and just call them 'Hey You' instead) will be Misha (who he will give all sorts of diminutive names such as 'Mishka' or 'Chibi Lord' and the like).though his interesting tends to wane, he seems to get bored quickly if the person he is hanging out with doesn't seem interesting to him.
All in all he is a straight up b*****d as Spinel (he can fake it as William) but when push comes to shove and the senshi are in the way he is the sort that others would want leading because he doesn't pull any punches even if the enemy are a bunch of little, bratty girls in brightly colored skirts babbling about friendship and love.
Hobbies:
~ Confectionery Artist: As twisted as it seems, and in some sort of polar opposite of how he is on the inside, William/Spinel is damn good at making candies, cakes, cookies, all of those sorts of things. They are sweet, delicious, ornate, and bring a lot of business to the restaurant for those things alone. It was a skill developed partly for that reason, to get himself praise, though there is also another reason, one he would never share with anyone. Ever.
He loves sweets. He'd probably steal candy from a baby if it looked good enough. It probably ties in again with his 'me first' behavior, wanting to do things both to make himself look good and also to make himself happy. Not to mention that he is the sort to look at something someone else did, figures he could do it better, then set out to do just that. When it's late at night, the restaurant is closed, and everyone has gone home he is only too happy to head out on his way with any left over sweets to keep them all to himself.
He might end up sharing with Roderick/Mishka later though after they meet, something that will be a hell of a breakthrough for someone as selfish as he is. (His reasons for liking Mishka are listed in the Acolyte section.)
Quote: "You mean to attack me? I would love to see you try." or "Know your place!" Either one would apply.
