William Lincoln

William "Wil" Lincoln (born Willow Lincoln) is a member of the Lincoln Clan; second son of Orion and Artemis and elder brother to Robin Lincoln of Team RAIN. His signature weapon is Blackram, a sword with crossbow mode for range.
== Appearance ==
William is a stocky man of above-average height. His hair is a bronze-brown colour which he styles in an undercut with rough bangs hanging down on his forehead, as well as keeping a goatee on his chin with rough facial hair running up his jawline.
He wears a dark green-grey shirt which he tucks into sandy grey pants, over which he wears a brownish fur cloak and fur lined boots. His outfit becomes more refined in Arc 3, donning gaiters and armour to help protect him while without aura.
== Personality ==
William is the middle Lincoln son. He is the most irritable and brash of the family; something of a bully, but has moments of affection - or at least tolerance. He is stubborn and unwilling to admit he’s wrong.
In regards to his family, William is an outcast. His surface-level dislike of Roderick comes from the fact that the latter was raised as a perfect heir, leaving William in the dirt with less affection - and he would later take this out on his younger siblings Marina, Robin and Lilliana as a result. However, his true colours show when he believes Roderick to be dead, as he dedicates himself both to an attempt at getting him back, and later vengeance.
William tends towards agriculture, particularly the apple orchards of Knothole, for an attempt at some sort of tranquillity and escape, and has a staunch belief that he is the only one allowed to insult his family.
== Abilities and Powers ==
William has greater combat skill than the members of Team RAIN, able to take down a Behemoth in one strike where they could not do any significant damage. Wil also manages to hold his own against Sterling Braith single-handed, where the latter previously defeated Team NPIR and Nyssa Noirette with little effort.
Though he is a wild card, seen fighting alone as often as he is with others, Wil can quickly and fluidly acclimatise to teamwork and develop team attacks and battle synergy on the fly - as evidenced with Jin-Shi Pan, whom he barely knew.
=== Semblance ===
:Main article: Wildfire
Fuelled by his desire to avenge his family, Wil goes into a rage mode that sets him alight with green flames. He moves faster and hits harder - and while it depletes his aura with continued use, each hit he lands on an enemy will give him a brief burst of aura regeneration. However, he can only activate it with full aura, and weapons such as his sword will not gain any additional benefits - he’s better off using his fists.
== Trivia ==
=== Allusion ===
* Wil alludes to the fairy tale character William Tell.
** He shares his forename with the character.
**Tell was an expert marksman with the crossbow, while Wil's weapon - Blackram - incorporates a crossbow.
**Wil shoots over Maylis Lincoln's head to kill Rouge Carmine, similar to how William Tell shot an apple off of his son's head.
**Wil remarks that he would spend a lot of time in Knothole's orchards; William Tell is associated with apples.
=== Colour Naming Rule ===
* His surname alludes to Lincoln green, the colour worn by Robin Hood.
* His birth name, Willow, brings to mind the tree of the same name.
